listening to the secret of evermore soundtrack and it's kind of... underwhelming.

apparently it's by jeremy soule, and that explains it. i was expecting something more akin to the classic japanese composers and soule is decidedly western. it definitely sounds more like something you'd hear in fable or elder scrolls than a squaresoft RPG from the 90s.

i've never played secret of evermore but i'm assuming the game is a lot more atmospheric/ambient and the music probably compliments it.

I don't really believe in New Year's Resolutions but it's close enough to make one and implement it now I guess. I'm going to try my best to refrain from political posting in the future. The most you'll see from me are shitposts. I'm going to pin this to hold myself to it as well!

At the end of the day, if I know anything it's that I know nothing. Posting anything about my politics here is of little value beyond a few likes and boosts.

I'm not going to go into politics and I don't really want that to be my legacy. I want to make games that everyone can truly enjoy, that don't have any agendas, hidden or otherwise. I'd rather not be a highly controversial figure on that front. Essentially it's the equivalent of "I just want to grill." I want to be known more for the stuff I make instead of whatever weird political flavor anyone wants to pin on me, or that I inadvertently pin on myself.

A lot of this stuff also gets me pretty on edge and I misplace a lot of passion where I shouldn't. My mood disorder doesn't help with that either. At my core I'm honestly not a very hateful guy but I can get fired up and sometimes I say things I either don't mean or things that can get misconstrued (especially over the internet). I think the best way to improve for myself is to just refrain. Abstinence is best, or whatever.

I wanna' talk about games and game dev, music, that sort of shit instead. Part of why I've been thinking about this is just thinking back to the old internet before politics was really cared about at all and nobody even mentioned it because the internet was supposed to be an escape from real life, not something that would stress your real life out more. You go to a family reunion and hear your parents talk about political shit and you want to just go back to the net to talk to people about RuneScape and Zelda, you know? Back when the worst thing someone could do online was like, be annoying.

So yeah, anyway, no more politics for me. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year xD

As far as RPG Maker games go, I gotta' admit I feel a little bit behind the times now. I've been working on my game since RPG Maker MV came out, when there were no community made plugins to speak of. The amount of crazy shit people can do with the engine these days is leagues ahead of what my game's going to offer. It's like someone making an SNES RPG meanwhile the Gamecube just came out.

why the FUCK is my janky ass, old ass, buggy ass game Grandma's House still on the front page of rpgmaker.net? Nobody is talking about it. Does it just get a lot of downloads or views or something?? I'm genuinely curious... I might ask a mod or admin or something because it definitely does not deserve to be there. Right in between Ara Fell and Lisa, sitting next to Oneshot and adjacent to OFF. More like fuck off... why is Grandma's House here??? It has legitimately been there for at least a year.

well we won a game and i got the most points so maybe i don't suck as much as i think i do.

it's alright, i guess. monetization is horrific except for the battle pass, which is $10 for a 3 month season. that's not bad if you're playing enough to actually unlock everything on the battle pass.

dialogue is pretty cringeworthy. gameplay is alright, nothing to write home about but it's decent. it's something i can probably play with my friends because they'll get super into it.

playing the finals, i feel like how old people probably feel playing video games lol. i have no idea wtf i'm doing xD

Mein Führer

the difference between the tapes from 1995 and 2005 is staggering, it seems like it's filmed on a different camera or something even though i know for sure it's the same camera, same type of tapes.

the 90s just looked different. and it's not because i'm viewing it through VHS tapes. the style, the decorations, the designs of products even, and seemingly the air itself was just warmer in mood. everything is so cold and corporate now.
