Waldfuchs, by Spring Spring 9 track album

Waldfuchs is a nice album :3
Something in between orchestral, folk and chiptune and maybe slightly proggy 🦊🧡

Impressiveness is not that interesting though . . . but I don't know what is. But the implicit need to impress people is one of the most tiring and least inspiring things about chiptune.

on one hand i love how chiptune is one of the most accessible types of music to make these days with plenty of free software that can run on almost anything

on the other hand i want people to think it's harder than it is so it makes me seem more impressive...

aka, a wuffler 🐶🤎

congrats my friend :3

Oh that looks really good :3

Here's another commission I did for a friend not on bsky, say hi to Goose! he's a tired puppy but I like how he turned out ^^

Shift Generation & Transmission Costs to Data Centers; Force the Largest to Provide Energy Storage & Clean Energy The House killed bills that would have saved Virginians money on electricity bills and made it harder to build more dirty fossil fuel energy generation plants. Yet these same bills passed the Senate a...

WOW! As of this morning only about 350 letters had been sent out urging our Delegates to hold data centers accountable and lower our energy costs. BUT after we blasted this call to action, we hit our goal of sending over 1,000 letters to our Delegates. Keep going!

Be genuine

Don't forget Stormlord 2 💜

(listening to my own music) ok but this kinda slaps tho

You're correct!

This is kind of painful but it's getting there, and the result is already much better just from calculating the Frequencies derived by the hacked Sweep commands.

Okay, finally kicked my ass to get through this shit for once and for all!

So here's all of the SFX from Fire 'N Ice in their intermediate form after being converted using the modified NSFImport version that had the hacked Sweep commands converted into Pitch commands instead. :3c

A few years old now, but absolute banger! 🤎🐾

keep cancelling your nitro

I just keep going out of sheer resentment I guess . . .

It's not like real life is better . . .

Tonight is definitely a wasted night here too uwu

Is that really the atari 8-bit version, it looks so faithful to the NES one 🧡

Guys something is wrong with my Fire 'N Ice level.

It sounds nice :3
The cuter side of POKEY :3

For no reason at all here's the Atari 8-bit version of the Level 3 BGM from Fire 'N Ice :3c

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

The YM2151 Suite is actually a really good album :3c

The Anchor of Hope

"Spider Web Chords" is a very unique sound generation toy 🕷️🕸️

Try it out if you got nothing else to do!

I enjoy writing these custom sound generators sometimes, and already have one album based on them, maybe another one will arrive too later :3
