NEW UPDATE FOR THE PORN GAME
>>750031767IT'S MADE BY SCHMUCKS
>>750032457SCHMUCKS FUCK AND SUCKSUBSEQUENTLY SNEEDS.
I saved listening until now, you used my take as a lead?? Songman?? Songman???!
>>750013998I think we generally need to teach musical editing classes if we want toi get an "editor's boom" or get singfags to edit their own songs. There are tutorials. There's the copypasta. But a lot of people learn new things by doing them.I'll fully admit I see the "We need more editors!" posts and be like "well how the fack do i do that?"
>>750033040Download Reaper, download the template, download a musical song, and experiment.
forgot the /v/tm label
>>750033549The song is an album opener already, can't use another art. Love it though, would've been a great song art.
>>750033675ahhhhhhhhhh maaaaaaaaaaannnwelpGuess I'll try and sneak in another song art if I gots the time
The reason album openers can't have song art is that Bandcamp didn't support it. We got Bannedcamp years ago, so there is really no reason we can't do it now except for tradition.
>>750033702If K still has the version of the song with her own vocals, would be cool to put it in the DLC with this cover. If nobody is against it, of course, and if you'll post the full size.
>>750033953true
>>750033986here ye go
>>750033953in theoryyy if we don't insist on the opening song having album art, then an album could be created with nothing but song art and nowhere to tag any album art
>>750034078Thanks, it's a genuinely great parody. Now it's up to K and the shadow cabal. Would be a waste not to use it in the DLC with the already existing alternative version, but I'm not the one to decide if we can bend the rules a bit.
Speaking of K, toads and the DLC>https://gofile.io/d/ZN3i4XAHHoly shit she nailed this one. And I didn't even see her sneaking it in.
>>750034219can we do something like this for dlc, so it's at least doing something unique? https://gofile.io/d/loFD8fhPin fact I didn't realize there was too much silence at the start, so I'd like to put a little in the proper version too. just that first spot to fade in.
>>750030586>icoWorking on this now I could not sleep, jesus fucking christ I got too much shit going on AHHHHHHHHHHH
>>750035129That's a great version. Would be really nice to have it in the DLC with the new art.
What were some musical subjects you wish you wrote about?
>>750030552>>750034078>>750035129For the anchor.
>>750030586>>750035253I've messaged the writer to update the rentry, but this should be what I was missing before: along with a couple of jokes thrown in :)ON SUA (Inaguk)on sua (Inaguk)Lala bum bum ba bumON SUA (Inaguk)on sua (Inaguk)Lalabum bum ba bumON SUA (Inaguk)on sua (Inaguk)Lalabum bum ba bumON SUA (Inaguk)on sua (Inaguk)Lalabum bum ba bumnonomori (Translator's note: Nonomori means Thank you)(get your ass healed anon)Nonomori (and a nonomori to YOU anon for listening)
>>750030552>>750035453gomen I am a tired boi ;-;
>>750033953inconsequential probably but iirc it was Yaypyroo who told the threads to please stop making art for openers because YouTube didn't allow for it. not sure what the Bandcamp situation was at the time.
do not die
>>750036709I've got nothing interesting to bump the thread with. Has anybody ever made a /v/tm mod for a rhythm game?
>>750037226I mean, Rock Band 3 Deluxe is a ton of fun because with a program you can add YARG, Clone Hero, etc right into RPCS3. It's just reading a midi file and a chart so it works.I've never tried to add /v/tm songs to it because I don't know how to chart, but doing that could be cool if people have the knowhow.
>>750037226Make a song about a rhythm game and put it in the rhythm game
>>750037464Surely there must be some auto charting software out there
>>750038147There's one vibe coded piece of crap I tried, that got me nothing useful. I'm all ears if anyone knows an actual good one.
>>750038184apparently there's something called Octave that might work.
The Story of G.G. does not belong on the platforms album, it is not about a specific platform. It's either industry or board culture. The song is about how vacuous the "gamer" identity really is, hence the hook>White gamer, Black gamer, fake gamer, real gamer...still gamerThe original song is the exact opposite; It's making the point that Black people should have solidarity because they can't escape their Black identity, regardless of their social standing, hence the joke at the beginning>O.J. like, "I'm not Black I'm O.J."The Story of G.G. is about how any self-interested political entity can hijack the gamer "identity" and claim themselves to be part of the culture, and astroturf like their perspective is THE perspective that represents the majority, whether they're a bunch of Stormfag /pol/yps OR concern troll browbeating feminists. The first verse is meant to distinguish the "real gamer" from the obvious astroturfer with an agenda>MAGAtard, don't fuck with me...cause I'm only interested in video games and it's clear what your agenda is>if you're so worried about muh woke, then buy the products that you want to see more of, and those products will get made, regardless of what some talking head feminist has to say about it, because that's how capitalism worksIt goes on to express regret over the time wasted in having pointless "discussions" over muh culture war.>I flamed every comment section, wish I could take it back to the beginning... cause I could've put to better use all that time I wasted (like by making a game that caters to my own tastes)The second verse is simply an expression of what I consider to actually be important (gameplay, a fluid combat system, an interesting artstyle and/or story), and of course an expression of the frustration of listening to the nonsense that people blather on about regarding XYZ game. All of this is applicable to board culture, because this sort of MUH WOKE MUH CULTURE WAR has been going on here for like a decade.
>>75003844213 years of this. The anti-sjw wars have long since ended but the skirmishes continue.
>>750030586thanks, timed lyrics have been updatedsince we're all here, do you wanna share the other vanilla tracks as well? i'm starting to want to remix and remaster decade old tracks by now so it really wouldn't hurt to have when we look back on this one in time for /v/tmXXX. i'm sure UVR will be flawless by then but it's not the same thing.
>>750038494Song long as a facescanned woman is made ugly on purpose, the war will rage on
>>750038575I second this but I'll also say: I plan on working more on it between now and next year. I'm not satisfied with my work on it and it's been eating me up (I've lost sleep) the edit is amazing, it's my singing that is lacking just to be clear.
>>750038665Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night I can feel those titties...The vidya I've lost, the posts I made... You feel it too, don't you?
>>750038798Toiling day and night in this foxhole of a nasolabial fold that I know is just my grave
>>750037226>>750038037Does importing /v/TM songs into Audiosurf count?
>>750038442Clever. Thanks for sharing
>>750037226i played some on beat hazard
if you like penis coladas
>tfw no singing gf
>>750039010Yeah sure.
just /vee/ urself :Didk bro have a bump. I'm glad someone sang Swedish Indie Trash, but I'm sad that nobody sang Gacha.
>>750040548>Tfw singing wife
currently tagging recognizable voices for the prelim sorting and i'll report if i find anything that looks to be wrong on the sheet. >Game And Watchthis is Monganon, not El Pato
>>750041241That aint me-Monga
>>750041282it's a new name this year, but are you tagged on every song you sang? because at a glance you sound very similar to another regular who i assumed started namefagging all of a sudden.
>>750041482wait a sec, this isn't Game and Watch at all that i'm listening too. goddammit, Catbox fuckery last night might have got the songs mixed up...
>>750041482Tagged on everything except the ones where I do a squeaky character voice or in All Done For Yous where I just wrote Cast of Ebin the Musical.I've been singing for like uh 4 years now, only this year I got named
>>750041241>>750041282>>750041482>>750041771ok problem solved, it was another copy of "All Done For (You)s", all's right with the world
hmm better come up with a namefag name for myself so I can also be an attention whore. ok, what do you think of GIANTBBC12INCHESOFSTEELANON??? great innit?
>>750041945thanks for the bump
>>750041945Have fun never being able to shed the name because you will be recognized.
>>750041945holy shit, its GIANTBBC12INCHESOFSTEELANON! i can't believe i finally get to meet him!
>>750043261das rite das rite now show your appreciation by getting down on your knees and... tying my shoes for cuz I ain't know how to do that my mom usually does it for me but she's at work rn and I need help :(
>>749919642Hilariously late I know, but Snacks-tan not being playable has nothing to do with SMW's limitations--JUMP 1/2 has a character switcher. It's because the organizer abandoned it.
>>750040938you don't have to rub it in, anon...
>>750043407>the organizer abandoned itOh ffs. Thank you for correcting me
Stop making me be the one that bumps
>>750044924
is coffee good for you?
>>750045184only if i draw an album art for that next year
>>750045267maybe also do one for>lust provoking image>irrelevant, time wasting question
>>750045184but I already had breakfast this morning
>>750041945I will give you all the attention you crave, steelanonI will even stand up and shout KINOOOOOOO when your songs come up
>>750038442You put a lot of thought and still flubbed the iconic “I’m not black, I’m OJ… Okay” rhyme.I like the original and I can’t listen to this parody because of it.
>>750035129>in fact I didn't realize there was too much silence at the start, so I'd like to put a little in the proper version too. just that first spot to fade in.The timed lyrics need to be adjusted for that don't forget
>>750037226Not really a mod but I play /v/tm songs in osu all the time
>>750046469How'd I flub it?
>>750041945Good idea K
>>750046626It doesn’t rhyme, it’s a slant rhyme at best but the original is a perfect rhyme so it sounds jarring.Also you could’ve said something more interesting like “Casuals like “I play games, I gacha!”… Gotcha”Idk something smarter and with a better rhyme.
>>750046626Anon, listen to the original and the parody line back to back. It doesn't mirror the sounds. Those Os are supposed to the same sound, it's central glue of the song's premise.
>>750046839Eh, everyone's a critic. If you don't like it, I understand, but it is what it is. That line there would have nothing to do with the meaning of my song, and is therefore not more interesting, or smarter. But maybe you're right in saying that "change" and "okay" are slant rhymes, I'll give you that much.
>>750046972NTA but I wouldn't care about a slant rhyme as much except that it's in THE iconic line. If you can't do THE iconic line right, better not do the song at all until you can.
Just make this entirely different sounds rhyme dude
>>750047320Rapfags just flub it all the time lately.Remember that Gonna give Timmies or whatever parody of “X gon give it to ya”?When was the last good rap song?
>>750045358jotted down
>>750047574We have two rap songs this year
"I" am "back"
>>750046972This is the problem with Renfags.Unless they are godtier writers, they can still come in short and mess up parts of a song that someone could’ve pointed out if they were doing collaborative work like asking for feedback in lyrics beforehand.And they are still too proud to admit they fucked up.
>>750047854I renfagged some songs this year and I wanted to ask for feedback but I felt saying anything would've been a bad idea at the time
>>750047574That's not a good thing. Sad fact is that the white people in this musical can't rap. There are white people who can, but not here.
>>750047320>>750047327>>750047574Consider the following: "make" and "change" and "okay" are all assonant. Assonance is a very important aspect of hip hop, and writing in general. So for you to come at me like>erm ackshually there's no agreement in the sounds being spoken is just some ignorance, and it comes across as you trying to start some shit. If you're being genuine, then I appreciate your feedback, it's noted, but we're past the deadline and you can take it or leave it.>>750047824At least four, if you include 100% drop and Sunglasses On, maybe five if you include Going Into Games Machine>>750047854It ain't pride, I saw the push back against it at the time it was dropped, and I disregarded it because I didn't consider it to be meaningful feedback. I chalked it up to people trying to start shit. If you felt so powerfully about it, you could've covered the song yourself, there was no one stopping you. This is what death battles are for; or you could've written your own version and there'd be two on the spreadsheet. Instead, you insist on prodding me. Why?
>>750047824Is the other one the DLC gold digger one?
Does this count as rap? I’d say it was pretty good.https://youtu.be/L1QLfPH3Q2Y
>>750047574Yeah that one was fucked up too. You trick yourself into thinking it's good because we have no quality bar, but the song would have been vastly better if the creators weren't sniffing their own farts and insisting doing it wrong as a joke didn't ruin the way it sounds.
>>750048107Sure they're assonant. If the original lines had replied on assonance, I would have agreed, but they don't only sound assonant but are also a perfect rhyme. My feedback is genuine. Take it or leave it. Disregarding feedback as not meaningful is indeed part of pride.
uh oh, the spergstorm is picking up
>>750048364>best current rapfag isnt even a rapper
>>750048104You can always do what I do and not say you're renfagging it. "Here are lyrics I'm working shopping" into "ok it's on the sheet thanks for the help" into "cool I'll sing this for sure I'll mark it on the sheet".
>>750048364>bloodhound gang>rapNot really, no.>>750048401>if the original lines had relied on assonance1. Oh Jay and Okay are assonant, so don't be ignorant.2. I can change what I want, it's my song, I am taking creative liberties, so what you propose is nonsense, this idea that I have to maintain the exact rhyme scheme. In fact, I don't. If you disagree, well, chalk that up to creative differences.>>750048509If I do that and you come at me with some stupid criticism, I am still within my right to disregard it, right?
>>750048509this is unironically the way, you get better feedbackt. renfagger
>>750048107People insist on prodding you because "just make an entire song parody you don't want to make" is too much effort to fix "this shithead fucked up a good song and it'll stay like that forever because they ignore feedback". I'm not a rapper, but that doesn't mean I don't know rap better than you if you think the hook of the song wasn't completely butchered in a way that defeats the point of picking that track to parody.It's not the end of the world, we've butchered songs before, but it doesn't do rap any favors that when we touch it the thing ends up not respecting the original at all.
>>750048107>”Im not prideful”>proceeds to make a pride-full paragraphYou’re saying it’s too late for feedback now, but also claim people pointed it out back then and you didn’t give a fuck, which to me sounds like you never wanna hear negative critique on the songs you do.You fucked the iconic line, no matter how you try to reason it, this is how people responded to it back then and are now.If you can’t reflect and reconsider maybe you could’ve made it better, you will never improve. And with something as dependent of rhymes and sounds like Rap, you’re gonna keep fucking up songs if this is the genre you wanna do.
>>750048637>I can change what I want, it's my song, I am taking creative liberties, so what you propose is nonsense, this idea that I have to maintain the exact rhyme scheme. In fact, I don't. If you disagree, well, chalk that up to creative differences.Yeah sure and don't be surprised when people who like the original song do in fact take issue with the creative liberties. We're writing parodies, not original works. You can stop replying to me stating my opinions and philosophy on song writing any time, you know, but it is absolutely pride that prevents you from acknowledging that it would be better to maintain the original rhyme scheme. It's okay to admit that you didn't have the writing chops to make it as good of a parody as it could be.
>>750048637>I can change what I want, it's my song, I am taking creative liberties,Yeah, and just like if someone removed every rhyme from a song, we're gonna pity the song when you use this attitude to fuck it up. Creative liberties are awesome when they improve a song, but "hmmm I don't want to keep the rhymes of the original" isn't creative liberties, it's laziness that cripples the point of doing music instead of anything else.
>>750048637>it’s my songIt’s OUR song, wigga. When you fuck shit up, you fuck shit up for all of us. So yes we will critique it. If you can’t handle critique then just keep it to yourself.
Did the Cave Story rap guy contribute?
>>750048637You’re really working overtime to make renfags look bad and sound like assholes.
>>750049078Nah we know this isn't how all renfags are, this guy has done this before, it just him.
>>750048637Cringe as fuck levels of defensiveness. How did a thin skinned little bitchfag like you end up here?
>>750048637>MAGA references>Anita Sarkeesian reference in the big 2026>slant rhyming the iconic lineThe whole song is cancer. Jay Z would be dissapoint.
>>750048509>>750048648Yeah, thankfully I never did, renfagging was a backup. First year was weird because I felt like I was walking on eggshells every time I posted or did anything lol
Don't forget to vote on the poll fellas
I just got a great song idea so I hope you guys are ready to write and sign it next year.
>>750049452>compared to me Jay Z is lazy...no I can improve this...>compared to me Jay Z sucks a lot>hell yeah now those are some creative liberties put to good use - this anon probably
>>750049510I'm trying so hard not to shit up the thread with spam and requests because I'm super impatient but I genuinely want to hear more stories about the inspirations behind your guys' songs, ideas you all have for future songs next year, genres you like, songs you guys liked this year, songs you liked from past musicals, etc.
>>750049741No, be patient.This is a slipper slope that could get a song DQ’d.It’s over, move on.
>>750049582this anon put more thought into his post than slantfag did
>>750049741Maybe while the polls and timings are concluding and organization is ongoing in the background while everyone else waits for streams, people can reflect upon or tell their tales of notable songs they wrote in the past and shed light on or spurn discussion for them or more and just in general allow for a bigger view into the musical and it's participants.
>>750049741My favorite genre of /v/TM is songs written in universe, like "songs that could have been written by the game characters", like the Not Like Us Pokémon parody or blue off the chains.
>>750043964yeah, there's a song this year about the update that never came out
>>750049848>This is a slipper slope that could get a song DQ’d.Really? What is? You don't have to elaborate but I genuinely didn't know talking about your process could lead to disqualification.>>750049913Yeah, maybe next thread we could have an anchor at the top for musical anecdotes or something
>>750049952What are some other notable in-universe /v/tm songs?
>>750050168>maybe next thread we could have an anchor at the top for musical anecdotes or somethingThat'd be fun. I want to hear the stories and explanations too. Let's let this thread play out for the next day or so while some final steps are still in progress and then when we're all just chilling waiting for the stream, we can put that anchor in the next thread.
>>750049741It's something I mentioned when I submitted it over a month ago, but I wrote "Ankha oh Ankha" this year because when the 3.0 New Horizons update rolled out, I had to play it again for that, and Ankha landing on my island just genuinely was a blessing and a curse. I love Ankha as a design and villager, but I can't not think of the porn for her any time she shows up. I'm just kind of porn-brained in general but Zone was pretty foundational for me so I especially couldn't ignore that. I love how the song turned out too.
>>750050168because the rule is that you're supposed to only work on songs during the musical, i.e. sept 15th - oct. 15th so if you write something outside of that (and you leave a papertrail) you're gonna get disqualified, and well, if you talk about your idea now, someone could reasonably say>hey remember that comment from a year ago when someone detailed their entire song without actually dropping it?
>>750050168They're shitposting, songs don't get DQ'd just because they suck.
>>750050373It's frustrating this rule only gets trotted out specifically to kill songs someone doesn't like, like wokieflop. It's legal, just annoying.
>>750050168The anchors are for organizing, you can just talk about your anecdotes whenever you want and they really don't need one past someone asking the question and getting answers as replies. I feel like most of my songs have boring origins because it's just connecting a good topic to the original, the most you get there is that I always really like either the topic or the original song, usually both. The only really funny anecdote this year was seeing people run with "Asgore The Flower Whore". The origin of that is nothing too special, I just love the comedy around Asgore as a dude, the memes about him running over Dess are hilarious for example. He was central to the new chapter so I thought using him for a song this year would make sense, and only cut it because everything I tried came out too memey and had better fits for other topics and deltarune got flooded in the first few days by other people. But a shitpost like this song is great when people actually like it as opposed to being something 1 guy found funny, so I'm glad I chose to use some actual examples when someone asked me how I spent so long writing a song as short as the Jill Val one.
>>750050667well, as long as you keep it to yourself, nobody's going to know. I bet all the big namefags are already working on their next batch of lyrics as we speak. if they're not, then I wouldn't be surprised to find that someone is. it's just how things go. in order for the rule to take effect you have to prove that it was violated, so just don't talk about it, not only here but pretty much everyone online. it has to stay dark.
>>750050365Lol that's funny, it's the first time I've heard the song with vocals. It's a funny idea, love the execution. a minus8 mention would've sealed the deal>I'm just kind of porn-brained in general>on /v/Breaking news: fish lives in water, more at 11
>>750050231Your Ed uses Ed's voice and is from his pov kinda.Grips of an Angel is sung by the main character of Saya No Uta and goes through his character arc
>>750050853I used to list out some ideas I had for songs over the year (never full lyrics) but I've kind of forgotten to do that the last two years so now I just wing it.
>>750050667Can you name even 1 past song that got in despite having evidence it was written before, or are you whining just to whine about something that isn't true
>>750050231The ICO one from this year.Fourceful Virtue I think?FOXHOUND iirc
>>750050857Eh it's a bit more than the average /v/ user but you have a point
>>750050831I mean this in the best way possible but I like Asgore the Flower Whore more than Jill Val the Sandwich Gal (I like both) so please post your discarded ideas more often in case you inspire someone.
>>750050831Ass is funny
Campaigning for In the Middle (of the Grind) for opener of GRIND album with 100% Drop as the closer so it opens with a guy grinding and ends with them dropping the game.
>>750051135You're misunderstanding me. I'm saying that someone tracked down that wokieflop was written outside the musical, and raising my opinion it was done because someone didn't like antiwoke drek and wanted it killed. Can't prove it, but we're not in court, ig uess.
>>750051541I thought wokieflop was funny and then the writer ran the joke into the ground
>>750051541The Umamusume song was also killed this year due to being posted on /vg/ first and that wasn't anti woke.
>>750051634Fair enough. I could be full of shit.
>>750051541>can't prove ityeah, you can't, but even if you could, the rule would still stand. so keep shit to yourself until sept 15th next year.
>>750051490No fuck that, “Middle of the Grind” should NOT be opener, it should be in the middle of the album “Grind”.
>>750051541pretty sure it was tracked down because the writer was samefagging and spamming the thread and not because of the lyrics
>>750051738If we had another song about grinding I'd agree with you.
>>750050231too many to list i'd think, lotsa vidya songs go deep into the lore and end up in-universe
There was a writefag who had like 80% of the ke$ha song done for StarCraft then never said another word about it.
>>750051738No it should be in the middle of the musical and open the 5th album which should be Grind.
>>750051996I'm tell you man, kesha showed up at his house and bludgeoned him to death with a baseball bat. ain't nobody gonna laugh at her anymore, not on her watch.
>>750051848Also possible.
>>750051976Lotsa songs go deep in lore but I think anon was talking about songs that could be sung by random people in the universe and not like a specific protagonist or antagonist.
>>750051668We have plenty of antiwoke songs that no one complains about. A song isn't good just because I agree with it politically.
>>750052024Why would it have to be in the middle of the musical? It says middle of the grind, so it makes sense for it to be in the middle of “grind” not the musical.Also have to polls been posted in this thread yet? If not someone post them so people vote.
>>750051996he was always asking where the sc songs were too while writing one? maybe, did he expect others to finish it for him?
>>750052264he's being autistic about the joke>heh, wouldn't it be funny if a song called "the middle" was in the middle of the album
>>750052264Because it's funnier if GRIND opens with a song about grinding instead of a random song.
>>750052338>>750052074>>750051996I found this in the archive. Why would you start writing a song about something and then ask other people where songs for that something are? I don't think he ever intended to complete it and probably was expecting others to do it for him
>>750052546all I know is kesha is a ruthless bitch who don't take no scrutiny.
>>750052264Make "Grind" the middle album and put "In The Middle" in the middle of it for maximum funnies
>>750052661That's stupid because then GRIND doesn't have a good opener. I wish we had a RuneScape grinding song.
>>750052762I could give it the old writefag special if you want. Just convince the cabal to let us cheat a bit and put it in.
>>750052546I mean /v/tm is a collaboration project? maybe?
>>750052461How is that funny? We’ve had art about games not open with a song about that game.It’s funnier for it to be in the middle because it’s literally IN THE MIDDLE OF “GRIND”.
On a related note, I think Minimap would be at home in GRIND
>>750052661This is what I’m thinking too>>750052762What the fuck is “a good opener”? The song that opens has to be a song about the topic of the art? That’s not necessarily true. It can be about anything.We had a Princess Peach Mario Kart art before and guess what, the opener was NOT a Mario/Peach song.
>>750053237"collaboration" can mean a lot of different things, you know. like, one nigga writes a song, another performs it, and another edits it. but what is the role of the individual? to do something, you can't expect people to do all the work for you. you have to put in some effort. it's one thing to say>hey, here's an idea for a songand leave it at that, it's quite another to say>hey, here's the idea for a song, here are the lyrics I wrote, and here's a demoand it's yet another thing to say>here's an idea for a song, here's the lyrics, and here's a finished takeall of that is still collaboration, but the ideafag is going to get the least amount of engagement. at least the "renfag" is contributing something meaningful, i.e. a finished product. not to say ideas themselves aren't meaningful, but just like feedback, people can take them or leave them.
>>750053703Agreed. Who knows what he's thinking? >>750052546>start writing song>asks where the song is?I just wanted to sing Tik Tok or duet and death battle with others who did too. Next year.
>>750053273If GRIND is the middle album of the musical then it's funnier as the opener.
>>750053997>funnierAnd if it’s in the middle of the middle album called “The Grind” then it’s even funnier. And makes the joke work for the whole musical as well as the separate album.
>>750053934I don't think he was being malicious, he was just an ideas guy and wasn't actually writing a song and he wanted others to finish the song for him after putting out the idea. nobody did finish it though
Didn't the singer and writer for Mecca Chameleon and Have a Blast ask for those not to be used as openers?
>>750054150Oh okay.
>write in Asgore the Flower Whore for the opening>it shows up as Asgore the Flower ***lmao

>>750053385In addition, might make sense to put it after the poe song since they're both arpg related. I'd do it myself but mobilefagging
>>750055216No that game is going on Friendslop because it’s multiplayer.We are gonna be stretching the definition of friendslop here.
>>750055305>because it’s multiplayer.Wait, it is? I thought it was an arpg?
>>750055450According to google it’s a multiplayer game unless I misinterpreted what PoE is
>>750051331I don't take it the wrong way, i get what you mean. I'm unlikely to though, I write way too much already without a handful of my other ideas also ending up getting done. Genuinely I had like 40 ideas for that song alone before I actually settled on one that worked, most of them were much worse. We really don't lack ideas, that one in particular was a special case of the regular version got finished already, the song being so short meant it was easy enough to do it again late, and it being so dumb that it was funny even though it doesn't really make sense so it doesn't conflict with the other more straightforward one too hard. Enough people write goofy songs like that, I like writing songs that don't give me an icky "I should have done that properly" feeling. If I told people about the idea earlier then it's possible the Jill one wouldn't have been finished. For most longer songs I hate the idea that someone might not sing a good song we've never done before to just do another version of a song I already wrote just because I "inspired" them not to come up with something new instead. It worked out this time but I would have been very sad if for example the anon that sang Rides Down The Highway instead decided to do a worse idea I had for the Ripped My Pants song. I like the variety of different songs with ideas written by people other than me.>>750051463I know it to be true.
>>750055450>>750055546Maybe you're thinking of different PoEs
>>750055546It's a multiplayer game in the sense that you see other players and CAN play together but it is played primarily as a single player game
>>750051541>I'm saying that someone tracked down that wokieflop was written outside the musicalThat's not what happened, the anon admitted they took it from another thread unprompted when people started laughing at them. It was completely their own doing.
>>750055665Well I’ll see where it flows better sonically then, but it’s a good candidate for either album.
>>750055665:/ yikes
>>750055653How many of your songs were sung this year? I'm curious about how prolific you are to feel this way. It's cool to hear your insights and interesting to hear how your idea of what a song done properly is (different from mine).
>>750054903what happened orb bros...
>>750055662there's other ones?
>>750055861>How many of your songs were sung this year?The left of this image are ones that got sung, but keep in mind I sang some myself when they weren't sung and I could handle them. I should also say this is the most I've done by far, in 2023 for example I was busy with work and so I had a total of 5 songs that year. Part of why I have so many now is just having that backlog of ideas to draw from, and partly that I got better over time at bringing ideas to a state where I felt proud enough to post it. the 9/14 date songs are ones I reposted from last year, I always replace the links in them as needed during the hype threadsThe right are the ones that weren't done, 3 I think are worth another shot and 1 is trash because I wrote it last year and I don't think it's deserving of a 3rd chance, it's rare anything could be imo.
>>750054169singer for MC and writer I think for HaB. up to the sorters to decide what to do with that info, it's a multi-choice poll so vote for anything you want to win.
>>750056730That rocks. What format do you use to write your songs? Do you always keep the original lyrics in view? I know one anon who posted his or her format had two columns with the original lyrics on the left and the new ones on the right.
>>750056874yeah sorry I meant to put "respectively" in my post
>>750055732lol completely fair enough.
>>750056968>What format do you use to write your songs? Do you always keep the original lyrics in view?I start by listening to the song and trying to recognize the parts that need to be kept, like slant rhymes, mid-line rhymes, sounds that aren't rhymes but are super pleasing, ect. I have the original lyrics on hand when I do this, so I typically know the original lyrics well before I fully "start writing".Then I just lay out a text file with the full original lyrics, split view with the original song on youtube, and then start writing. I listen back to the specific lines I'm currently writing on repeat while considering the roles they have in the original song and if there's a way to mirror that in the new song, but that doesn't always work out and sometimes it just becomes a new story or new concept for the line entirely. I just write my line's text after the original line's text when I get an idea, and sing it along to the original by itself to see if it feels good. When I get a section (usually a full verse/chorus) to a point I'm proud of, I just delete the original lines there so it's just my lines, and in the rare cases I change my mind that's what ctrl+z or referencing the full original lyrics again is for. When I've fully replaced the whole lyric set, I give it a bit of thought on "is there anything I should have referenced for this song that I didn't, can I still work that in somewhere" sorta stuff. When I'm satisfied enough, I sing the song start to finish at least like 2 or 3 times myself to make sure it actually works, and usually I can catch 1 or 2 spots worth improving when I do this. I only post it to the thread if it makes it through this process and nothing bothers me about it enough to give it more passes. There are sillier or weirder songs I'm less picky on like the Game and Watch one, but if I really care about a song and I have the time, it might go through many rewrites at this stage.
>>750057878Thank you so much for this look. I'll try to write better songs next year. I don't care if they get done by singers but I want to make the best lyrics I can for myself.
>>750057979I'm pretty autistic about the way I do it, so what works for me might not work for you, but yeah do whatever makes you feel proud in the end.
>>750046517thank but it ok, that why add toad noise track same length
>>750057878Based effortputter
>>750058016I too am autistic and I am just asking every writefag I see for ideas so I can hone my own method over time.
>>750058156Nice way to expand horizons.
Don't die I'm figuring shit out
>>750056968nta I also keep them in view, but more messy in one txt file. I bracket the original lyrics and go section by section so it ends up >[original chorus]>my chorus>[original bridge]>my bridgeetc. The split view approach is probably better but I write on my phone a lot so this works 4 me. And then delete all the og lyrics once I'm satisfied with the whole thing.
>>750058861Do you listen to the original song on your phone? Or what's your method? Thanks for answering too!
You know, it's funny, I keep thinking every year that we're going to run out of songs we actually want to sing (Obviously thousands of songs get made every year, but stuff we want to see in the Musical.) Then, eveyr year I look at finished and go "what the actual fuck, 'Livin' On A Prayer' hadn't been done yet?" Presumably this will keep happening.
>>750059007fr its also crazy "let it go" still didnt get a parody
>>750056968Found it in the archives.
>>750038442We don't have a Platforms album, we have a Platforms/Misc album to balance out the album runtime.>>750038147You can generate a chart. You cannot generate a good chart.
>>750059007I guess what's a bit concerning is out of the 2020s, this year we only had 29 of our songs come from this decade. According to ChatGPT, anyway, who couldn't identify 90 of the songs (but I had a look and most of them don't seem to be from after 2020)https://rentry.co/trackyears
I don't know how you guys write your songs but I just have songs I like that I pick and then I slowly work through the lyrics and maybe try to figure out what rhyming words exist in the worst caseno tricks needed
>>750037226>>750037464Not really a mod but this has been playable since musical VII: https://youtu.be/x5vLUVNXrUM
>>750058861>etc. The split view approach is probably better but I write on my phone a lot so this works 4 me.That's funny because as the autistic splitview guy I also sometimes write on my phone, it's really fucking inconvenient to write on a phone if I have to switch apps so I do split view or sometimes just picture in picture with the youtube video (but this is annoying because I like to rewind and relisten to whatever section I am on repeatedly). Android adding the option to split any apps a few years ago was fantastic for my productivity, I just put the youtube video on top and the lyrics on the bottom with a bit more than half the space.>>750058938Also if you want another tip, keeping a strong reference point is ideal if the song is a specific reference and not just like a janny or shitposting song. I also had the Game And Watch meme screenshot splitviewed under youtube when I originally wrote that song, specifically because it's 1 image that basically provides all the joke starters you could have ever wanted for writing on that topic. I managed to write it relatively quickly and put references in just about every single line, because I could look at the meme as I wrote. Just about every line I went through a thought process like "you know what, the section where the singers give a retrospective view instead of first person view near the end could be really funny if I twist that to say he killed himself, is there a good specific bit I can connect to a suicide joke there so it's not generic.... oh fuck, there's a line where he says he only has 1 chair, I can fucking work with this". Rinse and repeat that sort of thing for every line, a specific reference is almost always more fun than just writing a really basic line imo.
>>750059258I wonder if the writefag would come forward and tell us a song he wrote this way so we can see the results of this effortputting
>>750059324>this year we only had 29 of our songs come from this decade.Don't worry, next year I'll make sure to write 20 horrorskunx verity song parodies
>>750059495Well, yeah, you could play any rythym game that has one of our tracks, and play it to an mp3 of the parody I guess. Sounds like shit to sync tho.
>>750059204that's banned and never will be done>>750059007yeah you'll say that every year forever, as time goes on we will only have more songs to cover. even at 200 songs done a year, we're missing out on thousands that come out each year. 10 years from now someone might be saying "wtf they never did that" about a song that came out this year.
>>750058938I can usually hear it in my head pretty well if I've decided to write something. So my pre-writing/inspiration process is listening through a few times and jotting down the main line changes, then copying the full lyrics to work off of, putting those initial line ideas in and filling out the rest off the memory of the song. Listening again maybe here and there while reading what I've got. The main change I start with tends to be the hook of the song, I believe. If you get a solid parody line of the hook the rest can fill in pretty easy.I did not write, but "he fucked miss piggy" is the prefect example of a great hook replacement, ideally you come up with a line like that and the rest basically writes itself. At least for my stuff.
>>750059324What from this decade is even good?
>>750059852I have no idea, but that in itself is a problem. AI slop is invading from all sides, and while I don't think it's all awful (I do like them warhammer parodies), obviously we can't use any of it.
>>750059258I was thinking of a different anon actually, the one who posted a photo of his or her computer instead of a screenshot.
>>750059324>this year we only had 29 of our songs come from this decade. According to ChatGPTa lot of songs come from nostalgia, in musical XXV the old zoomers will be writing songs using the cartoons they grew up on or the songs they heard on the radio as kids. parodies of older songs just work cleanly, and songs age over time so it's no worry.
>>750056968When I'm writing, it usually depends on how familiar I am with the song. If It's something I (think) I know well, I just start writing it. I can HEAR the original singer singing my lyrics in my head. That's led to some mistakes with songs so I don't recommend it without doublechecking. I usually listen to a song more than I look at lyrics, only because even if a song is in English, different English speakers will pronounce it differently. it sounds stupid, but to me it's more important that the lyrics match up with the song more than the lyrics. Having the lyrics side by side doesn't help you focus on what parts of the song are important to stress on for the singer, I had to re-listen to Computer Guy over and over to get the lyrics right, and even then I still needed someone to point out one of the lines had been messed up. Lyrics are fine, but we're doing songs, not poetry. A good parody (in my opinion) shouldn't focus on the syllables as much as it should focus on the flow of the song.
>>750060016I'll keep digging.
>>750060295I wasn't expecting you to dig, was just giving it as an example.
>>750047574I still don't get how changing 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯 to 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯 is such a big issue. DMX does it occasionally in the original, like "X gon' deliver to ya".
>>750059783>I did not write, but "he fucked miss piggy" is the prefect example of a great hook replacement, ideally you come up with a line like that and the rest basically writes itself. At least for my stuff.Strongly agree, you really NEED the hook to work. putting effort into the rest after helps too, but if you start with a shitty hook the song is doomed from the start. Just think about the radio hits, people don't even know the lyrics to half of them, they just need that 1 part where they can go "Op, Op, Op... Oppa Gangnam Style!" and if it's super catchy and sticks in your head, then it's a mega hit.
>>750060290That's so cringe bro. Yeah the flow is important, just matching the number of syllables doesn't equal flow, but trying to match flow without also matching syllables is just dogshit.
>>750060478because of >>750060543 Changing it up on the song is fine. But the MAIN HOOK needs to work and not be butchered. Just pick a different song at that point.
>>750060290>I had to re-listen to Computer Guy over and over to get the lyrics right, and even then I still needed someone to point out one of the lines had been messed up.yeah that's why your method just kinda sucks, you're fucking up songs even when you put more effort than you should have to. you could have gotten better lyrics with less effort by just consulting the original lines.
>>750060290>A good parody (in my opinion) shouldn't focus on the syllables as much as it should focus on the flow of the song.this is a good point cause when singing I'll come across lines that are perfect in syllables but the stress of a word will be in an unnatural spot. I can just swap some words around to fix it for myself, but keeping that in mind while writing is good advice.
>>750060603I don't see how that change is butchering the hook. Granted I'm not a big fan of rap but I was familiar with the original and the hook in X Givin Timmies To Ya doesn't sound meaningfully different to me. The stress is still on the same spots.
>>750060478>I still don't get how changing 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯 to 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯 is such a big issue. Do you understand what a parody is? The core benefit of one is that you don't have to make your own 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯, the hard part was done for you, you are handed a free 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯 that people fucking love already. Why the fuck would you waste that by throwing away the 1 thing the song is known for? If you're going to have no respect for the original song, just write your own original rap and put it over an original beat that matches that. Don't fuck over a legendary song forever by taking the slot for something that doesn't even care enough to keep the 1 thing the song is famous for, if the original went 𝅘𝅥𝅮 𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅯 we probably wouldn't have given enough of a shit about it to even parody it because it sounds so much worse than the original.>DMX does it occasionally in the original, like "X gon' deliver to ya".Yes, and the parody should have kept the flow of the original by having matching this specific part on top of matching the main part.
>>750060678Syllable and stresses are different, but they are not one or the other. You should match both. This is kinda like saying you don't need food because water is important, you need both bro.
>>750060546YOU'RE cringe. >>750060660I do consult the original lines, I both listen to the parts of the song over and over AND look at the lyrics. I follow along with the singing while moving my mouse over the written lyrics the same way those sing-along lyrics do. I'm not saying to disregard the lyrics entirely, but to focus more on the singing rather than looking at the lyrics and matching the syllable count for the sentence and calling it a day. >>750060678It's really hard to get it 100% sometimes, but when it works, it really works. It helps a lot to sing it yourself as a writer, even if you can't sing for shit (like me)
>>750060887>it sounds so much worse than the original.But it doesn't tho? I don't get this criticism at all.
>>750060478it's not, there are a couple of naysayers who kept claiming it wouldn't possibly work because they couldn't count the syllables properly back when it was being written. They've been eternally BTFO ever since the song actually got sung, as evidence by the seething replies years later kek
>>750060478I have said this before and will say this againBut you could absolutely pronounce "giving" as a one-syllable "gi'in" which would maintain the flow and be perfectly understandable to a listener.
>>750060478>>750060767don't worry about it, it's not that big of an issue. people forget we're here making tracks for fun, meanwhile the syllable police out here want you to be afraid to ever post something ever again. lyricism is more art than science, even if I also agree that certain fundamentals need to be taken into consideration, like stress, cadence, syllable count, rhyme scheme, etc.
>>750060981yeah the point is if you get too caught up on syllables you can forget flow. of course both is best, but I would say flow > syllables, even if just slightly. which fits with flow being water and food as syllable lol
I can't believe that anons are actually bragging that they don't have enough rhythm to tell the difference between the parody and Timmies.
>Don't fuck over a legendary song foreverbut I gotta, that's why I'm here
>>750061015I'm sorry that you don't understand it but it's true, music as a concept exists because different sounds have different levels of appeal. X Gon Give It To Ya is legendary, it got parodied specifically because it's at that level of respect and love, your random slop thrown together will never match it even if you don't understand why.

>>750061030It doesn't work. Did you expect god to smite the song or something if it was bad? A bad song just stays bad, it doesn't end up good just because it was sung.People point at it because it's the closest a writefag gets to something like Porn On Steam. The real difference is that it's not funny to laugh at a messed up hook the way it is to laugh at weird vocals. It's unironically one of the saddest songs I think we've ever done because there's just no merit to killing off the song like that.
>>750061059Or just "gives", which was also suggested. the writefag and singfag just wanted to screw the song over to spite people for daring to criticize it, it doesn't really get more complex that that.
looks like somebody needs their yearly reminder!
>>750061814yeah, the reminder that it was sung wrong on purpose out of spite, we knew that already
Hey Twitchfags, do you get ads on non-affiliated accounts now?I know in the past you did not, but as of this year all accounts are "monetized", and I haven't watched enough real small streamers to know if twitch slapped ads sitewide or not.
not to move goalposts, but x gon give it to ya is a song about mr x from resident evil, so no matter the lyrics or delivery it was always destined to be irrelevant to the zeitgeist, and that's the real tea sis
>>750061879Someone else should have sang it and deathbattled it then :^) And the song can still be done, just pit it in DLC :^) It's not that deep bruh, let me be an annoying faggot and ruin your fun bruh bruh :^) :^) :^) :^) :^) :^) It's not that deep
I still think this faggot's scat should be removed from Guess I'll Shitpost, ruins a good track and defeats the point of the death battle if the song is going to be fucked no matter what we vote for.

>>750062423Seussanon will just renfag his own things, too bad. :^) Namefag's musical now. Anons all suck.
>>750062717It's ok to just admit to yourself that you don't know what you're talking about and aren't fit for the conversation. Just because you can't understand something doesn't mean it does not exist. There's a reason why only some songs become hits and others don't, whether you can understand it or not different sounds can be more or less appealing. Taking one of the songs super well known specifically for the hook and then removing the hook is literally never going to improve it and always going to be a waste of using that song.
>>750062867anon, anon... I appreciate your bait, I just want you to know. you've got 'em hooked, it's top quality bait. you seem quite impassioned over what amounts to virtually nothing. just saying. good shit.
>>750062217I agree with you and I don't understand how it turned out like this either, I just didn't make a big stink because it seemed like the unpopular opinion. Even if people DO like the combined version, I don't get the principle that you can just wait till deathbattles are over and then staple all the losing vocals into the winning version and call it an improvement.
>>750062867>removing the hookI don't agree this happened. It has the same syllable stresses, it has the same flow, it just has two eight notes instead of a quarter note.
When are we doing Limp Bizkit
>>750062983I'm sorry you seriously think "the way music sounds matters" is bait.
>>750062867the song isn't wasted Anon, it can go on DLC just sing it next year. :^) No one wants to admit that DLC is a massive dumpster fire but I'll still tell you to just write so it can go onto it, tee hee bad songs win. It's not that deep.
I think changing the syllable count of a song when doing a parody is fine if it still flows well and/or for comedic effect. Weird Al does it
>>750063031anon, your best argument is that the entire song is ruined because there's a single syllable out of place. that's a dogshit argument and you should feel bad, because anyone with a shred of good faith could try to overlook something so small and try to see the song's strengths. it's a funny song, and also, I do agree with you, the syllables are off. nobody cares.
>>750062717It sounds different. It really does. I don't know how else to say it and I would be embarrassed if I was defending myself having such poor sense of rhythm.
>>750062396Oh, neat. I thought that literally *was* TTFAF from the games
>>750062308>>Tomorrowjotted down
>>750063132word, I changed a 5 syllable line into an 8 syllable line this year and I would do it again
>>750063012yeah, and if it had 2 eight notes in the original it wouldn't have been as popular, because it sounds worse
>>750063132Weird Al doesn't change the fucking iconic main hook.
>>750063132Example?
>>750063224>anon, your best argument is that the entire song is ruined because there's a single syllable out of place.This is a strawman, your best argument is saying I said something that was not said instead of replying to the words I actually said.
>>750063132This is the objectively correct opinion.
>>750061814That's no writefag, that's a writechad.
>>750063132This isn't a brave take, it's just missing the obvious asterisk. You need to know what you're doing to mess with a song, it's not something you can do just because you're too lazy to write it the right way. It's genuinely harder to change the syllable account and have it work than it is to just write it correctly. Weird Al messes with syllables (very rarely) with specific intent and purpose. He does not take a song known specifically for the hook and then butcher that hook. When he does mess with syllables, it is always for a joke, never "I just don't feel like matching the original".
>>750063374I know what you said, you're bitching about how it's>X giving timmies to yainstead of >X gon give it to yahe elongated 'gon' into 'giving' and you're big mad.nobody cares, I'm telling you. and if I'm wrong, well, excuuuuuuuse me princess.
>>750063364In Amish Paradise he changes the line>Even my mama thinks that my mind is goneto>Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gonewhich adds a syllable, and is done because the name sounds funny there>>750063357Maybe not but I don't think adding or removing a syllable from a line is inherently a bad thing
>>750063532>nobody caresMultiple people care enough to post about it even this long after, and obviously you care too because you're posting about it, hypocrite.
>>750063538my-ma-maE-zie-kiel
>>750063648It sounds like four syllables with ki-el
>wierd alDidn't know we were suddenly all professionals who were the industry for over three decades. Isn't this just a fun passion project from random anybodies who just happen to be on the same mongolian mongoling forum? There could be a grocery cashier or tollbooth attendant writing and singing this stuff. When did industry professional become such a must?
>>750063538B-but.. If we allow that, how can I shit on writers I don't like? I'm too retarded to know subtlety or artistic liberties, they need to match EXACTLY or I can't understand them!
>>750063132The important difference is that he doesn't have to pass his syllable counts on to another singer who has to interpret how that is sung. Changing syllable counts is fine, but it's important to make sure that when your stretch a syllable or speed one up, you make it clear to the singer how that portion is supposed to be sung. That's why keeping the syllable count the same is standard practice, because most people are unwilling to record a demo.
>>750063538>Maybe not but I don't think adding or removing a syllable from a line is inherently a bad thingit's inherently a bad thing when the reason the song is popular is the way that exact line flows, aka it is the hook of the song. I don't even agree with you on that Amish Paradise take, it flows the same way due to how he said it.
>>750063752This bad faith shit stirring might be more effective if it was actually replying to a line that was changed and not a line that some retard thought was changed when it wasn't.
>>750063631I'm only posting about it because you are. but you're right, there are some people who care, my mistake. only, the vast majority don't. anyway, have fun seething I guess. I didn't write the song, it had nothing to do with me. I still like it even if I agree with you. >>750063775>the only thing anyone cars about is this specific number of syllables>not the beat>not the verses>not the message behind it>nah just those specific syllables in that specific spotdo you hear yourself?anyway I'm bowing out of this conversation.
>>750063709But he pronounces it as 3
>>750063538I don't think it's inherently a bad thing but it is a bad thing when it changes the hook to something that sounds worse. The problem isn't that a syllable was added but that the syllable was added in a way that sounds worse.
>>750063631>multiple peopleyou samefagging that an 8/10 song is a 0/10 because of personal syllable autism, and then getting pushback from a handful of sane people
>>750063726Half of the issue with the song people are talking about now is that it wasn't sung for fun, it was sung out of spite by an asshole that fucked over songs then and still fucks over songs now with shit like the scat in Guess I'll Shitpost, which lost the poll but still fucked the track somehow anyway. You can see his style of trolling in the screenshot from >>750061814 where he dropped the song. This entire argument probably started because he intentionally baited it again because he only sang it wrong to bait with it, see the posts like >>750062183 and >>750063752
>>750063914See you in the next post where you pretend to be someone else because you're a drama whore that cares about fucking with people more than actually participating.
If X Giving Timmie to Ya had been renfagged and anon didn't get a chance to decide he hated it before hearing it, I doubt he'd be mad desu senpai.
>>750063914>do you hear yourself?Yes, I hear myself when I say the hook of a song is the most important part. The vast majority of hit songs are hit songs due to having a strong hook, and that includes X Gon' Give It To Ya
>>750064030you strawmanning because your argument isn't strong enough without just misrepresenting the other side, and just blatantly ignoring that multiple people are concurrently posting about it, doesn't warp reality.
>>750063726>or tollbooth attendantHow oddly specific...?
>>750064030It's not an 8/10 song. The hook is only one of its problems.
I don't actually know the song you guys are complaining about. I'm just having fun and mocking the overly critical people who want to lord over other writers.
i like how anon think's the "gon'" in that song is the reason people liked it. it's a tiny detail that you could blink and easily miss. ask you mom to sing the chorus and she probably thinks it's a "gonna" in there.
>>750064052We really should repoll Guess I'll Shitpost, I wouldn't vote for the one that replaced the winner. It's just so much worse to listen to.
>>750064052>>750064386Meant to connect this
>>750064030>8/10It only gets brought up to complain about the syllable issues, otherwise no one ever brings this song up. It’s one of the forgotten filler songs.
>>750064386always funny that people use "trolling obnoxiously" to mean "fucking over and derailing a thread where we're supposed to be getting shit done". fuck off to somewhere else faggot.
>>750064052what the fuck does the X song have in common with Guess I'll Shitpost other than the fact that they're both being discussed in this thread? Two completely different conversations, assuming they're somehow one person conspiring against you is actual delusion
>>750064193he's holding a personal grudge which is exceptionally faggy, it's enough to just say "this song sucked" once or twice a year forever. anything more than that is gay obsessed behavior I think he wants that cock
Were there any songs last year that caused a lot of drama? I don't really remember anything standing out.
>>750064457I don't even see why we'd repoll it. We polled 3 versions and got a winner with an overwhelming amount of votes. Put the shitty new one in DLC and keep the winner as the winner.
>>750064551aint nothing to do anymore for most people, compilers, streamers, etc are getting ready,we're just chatting till saturday lol
How can we blame BLACKPINK for this?
>>750064620yeah my songs, everyone was creaming themselves over how good they were, we almost didn't finish sorting for release
>>750064521Yeah, people will bring up the actual 8/10s, or at least if it comes up people will go "man I liked that one, this part was good". Nobody does that for this song, it's a culture war song for trolls to mess with people on that nobody actually thinks is that good obviously.
>>750064457if anons feel so strongly about it but then you'd have to hope that rare singfag who mixed the scat into his winning take shows up before compiling and sorting ends or your outta luck either way. actually, every poll doesn't need to be 24 hours - how's the current one looking, riggingwise? we're cutting it close and need to call that opener yesterday.
Hmm, is this 3 people not liking the scat, or is it one person samefagging? I for one liked the scat and only voted for the winner because it was sung better.
>>750064193I ignored the song until I heard it on the stream and winced. It's a very funny topic but the lyrics are generic and the hook sucks.
>>750064620Wokes go to Gamedev maybe, the usual suspects bitched and moaned about it until I grabbed it and made it the best song ever sungYou're welcome
>>750061897Does anyone have an answer to this?Also, I believe I have a solution for having chat and the stream that does not require an anon to sit there and record their shit (well it still does but that anon is the streamer instead, which is far easier). Still working on it
>>750064551What else is there to get done dumbass? The musical is over, writefags and singfags have nothing to do. I'm helping to keep the thread alive till the stream.
>>750064727Nobody likes the timmies song and no one ever will, except the singfag/writefag who insists it’s good.
>>750064752I didn't like the scat but I'm not complaining about it because I don't care that much about the song at all. I think it's Fine. I think it would be better without the scat but not by much.
>>750064778Recordinganon should still record, it's good to have backups.
>>750064752I didn't mind the scat, it was fine. it's just there at the beginning, and it doesn't outstay its welcome. the rest of the song is good. I think it should stay on the album.
>>750064765Like the X song it's a song that literally only gets mentioned as "that one that had flaws and then got sung anyway", never actually complimenting it. I wouldn't put it in the top half of the songs you did last year, that's for sure.
>>750064880You're welcome
>>750064778someone usually does a backup recording anyway, in case things go south. and each of the past three or so streams half an album or so doesn't get recorded properly so i've recorded those bits from the VOD the day after. be happy to share, i just need to make effort to put the muted songs back in and upload.
>>750064660let's make examples of "blackpink in your area" that ruins the flow>todd howard in your area>my machine hardwarea
>>750064765That song was shit nglThe weakest of all the parodies of that particular song
>>750064854>>750064978ofc, I obviously won't stop anyone from recordan, but mostly saying there's now a primary source.
is the album order still in flux? Are we going to vote on a 'stream opener' or is it just whichever album ends up first on the list?
>>750064620There are always little bits of drama but never huge amounts. Other guy was right that Wokes Go To Gamedev was up there but that was just>bad lyrics posted>people laughed at them>got sung>nobody really cared because it was mid at bestit didn't even really even get people shitting on it after it got sung, because unlike the X song it's not offensively wrong in what it did, it's just sorta dull and boring so it got forgotten. Was there any real drama this year? Not the wokieflop thing, that was never a sung by one of us for with drama from us, it was a raid from another thread. The little stuff like the snacks thing will be entirely forgotten by next year, and the roco thing is more just a sideshow attraction to gawk at than drama imo. I guess you could say Jebus trying to cheat in a song was drama? but that was found, mocked, and then moved on from relatively quickly.
>>750065034sweet, i suppose that would significantly lower the chance that the stream recorder tabs out or something like what's happened in the past.
>>750065048We're doing a poll as soon as we can figure out what the last album opener is gonna be. Does this poll even matter, or are we going with Having A Blast?https://strawpoll.com/3RnYXrX5Aye
>>750064736>or your outta luck either way.Why? Just use the one that actually won the poll. It's significantly better, and people already showed they prefer it when it won the fucking poll. The scat one got like no votes in comparison because it sucks.
>>750064984>Blackpink's Japanese studio album Blackpink in Your Area (released in 2018) sold over 125,000 copies in Japan, while their matching In Your Area World Tour (2018–2020) grossed $56.75 million with approximately 472,000 to 472,183 tickets sold worldwide.And TWICE?
>>750064778>>750064854yes, we want 2 copies ideally please, so if one of yours fails I can upload the others.
>>750065146>The scat one got like no votes in comparison because it sucks.But was that because of the scat or because of the singing? Do we need another poll?
>>750065140I don't know, I know we're trying to be democratic but I think an organizer is going to have to make an executive decision here pretty soon. Apparently the writer for Having A Blast wanted to withdraw it from the openers poll (which would allow Blast Haver to flow into Having A Blast on the same album, potentially).
please, let's not. it's only a shitposty addition to the song where there's no lyrics otherwise.
>>750065184>mentioning japanese sales against TWICE of all groupslmaooo you don't know anything
>>750065283My vote was primarily because of the scat yes. we should have another poll if the default is going against the poll results. I tried compromising days ago and said I would be fine if it was just lowered in volume, but it's still so fucking loud that it's way louder than the instrumental or any of the singing in the song, so the more I hear it the more I just want it gone and the one we actually voted for on the album.
I really wish that triggered snowflakes didn't assume that why criticism against any "fuck libfaggots" songs was from libfaggots. I want antiwoke songs and I want them to be good and not the same "uhh TRANNIES amirite" generic bullshit.
>>750065354I don't want a shitposty addition by someone that isn't even the singfag to a song with serious lyrics and good singing for the rest of the track. Why did we fucking poll it if you were going to force bullshit either way?
>>750065140I wrote Have a Blast and I asked it to be withdrawn from consideration because I think it should be on the same album as Blast Haver and because two openers on the same topic is stupid.
How do you write something that's "fuck libfaggots" that isn't complaining about troons, they're stuck on them like a parasite.
>>750064752>complaining about anon adding flavor into a songit could be 10 anons I don't care they're all confirmed retards
>>750065302>which would allow Blast Haver to flow into Having A Blast on the same albumUhhh they might be in the same album but it’s not 100% that there’ll be one after the other. In fact, we try to spread out topics instead of piling them all together.
>>750065389I was trying to look for worldwide sales but it’s what Google AI spat out.Anyways, and TWICE?
>>750065354It ruins the music, it's obnoxiously loud and grating and you literally can't hear the actual music under it in the one currently on the sheet. it's possible to add shitposty additions that don't do that. I don't even think it's a song that should have shitposty additions, it's incredibly ill-fitting for the topic of the song (getting old and watching stuff go to shit). the scatting shit works for silly little cute songs, it's antithetical to the message of the song we're talking about for upbeat scat to play in between lines about losing your hair and seeing things get worse all the time.
>>750065552You make fun of trannies in new and inventive ways instead of the joke just being that troons exist. That's my whole point. I'm not telling you to stop making fun of trannies but to stop having such generic lyrics. Like take Confrontation. The first version was generic anti AI lyrics but when the anon got feedback he made more actual jokes.
>>750065552You get creative and tell actual jokes and complain about the things that are done wrong rather than the people themselves. Have we EVER done a song making fun of the "This is why I hate video games, it appeals to the male fantasy" girl? Do that instead of "haha trannies exist" as if that's a unique joke.
>>750065665yes, TWICE
>>750065854hold on, give me like 3 minutes and I can upload proper final mixes forFull ScatHalf Scatand No Scat
>>750065854meh I don't truly care if the scat one gets on the album as long as I can download this unfucked version for my copy, that's good enough for me, thanks.

Since we have 9 albums we should just do a 9x9 for the musical stream thread.

>>750067417yeah I like 3x3s, they're pleasing.
>>750067296>>750067376Don’t we already do this? Except whe include DLC to finish the grid.
>>750067462I did one for the XII stream and used the central for a countdown because we had 8 including DLC.
ay so which is the best rhythm heaven game to play? I'm more of a guitar hero nigga myself.
>>750067534Ok? And why do I care?
>>750067558DS or GrooveYou need real hardware for the DS though
>>750067558DS or GBA original i'd say. wagglan controls didn't do the game any favors.
>>750067594Because I replied to a post that asked if we already did this with an example confirming it has been done.
>>750067558Whatever hardware you have.If you have a DS get the DS one, if you have a Wii get the Wii one, if you have a 3DS get the 3DS one, if you have a Switch get the Switch one.Emulating is kinda finicky with this game because input has to perfect.I think the GBA one is a good one to emulate tho.
>>750067558Depends on your tasteMegamix has an actual story, which is unique to it. Also it has the most unique rhythm gamesDS is good but has a lot of stylus jank, and it's a bit of a chore on emulators because of this. Fever is the general "baby's first Rhythm Heaven" and for my taste, the Wiimote controls are the most intuitive and easy to useGroove is almost a reboot in the sense that all of its rhythm games outside of the multiplayer are entirely new, and it has some interesting side-game stuffNever played the GBA one so I don't have a frame of reference.
>>750067704I’ll add that you SHOULD play GBA, DS and Wii before you play the 3DS one to fully enjoy the 3DS one.GROOVE is it’s own thing.
>>750067623>>750067624>>750067704>>750067896alright thanks, guess I'll try to emulate the GBA version
>>750067965Have fun!
>>750067965it's a good starting point and i don't think the series evolved all that much throughout its lifespan. if you own a DS that one sold pretty well afaik and can probably be grabbed cheaply still. it's the one i played the most of.
>>750067965Unironically the best way to start.Look for the fan English patch because the game never got an English release.

>>750068451tytyty.Let's say I want to run a test with lyrics working, what do I actually plug into musicbee? Do I go to last years, download the MP3? FLAC? Obviously I'm going to download these lyric files but how are they tied together etc.
>Age Verified femanonI'm pretty sure I recgonize that voice from Year VI. Good to see you're still around.
>>750050365I just want you to know anon I APPRECIATE YOU. I think it's the IDEAL use for the song, and I really think the animation owns. I was there for at least some of Z0NE's hunting for Ankhha (maybe even there for the big moment?) and shit was fun. I think really like Z0NE's stuff is real good.
>>750069021assuming they're not embedded in the music file itself, as long as they're in the same folder (or maybe it works in a folder within that folder) musicbee will recognize them based on the same filename (and compiler matches the filenames for you)download the mp3 or flac from last year, flac just makes sense for the quality, and if it doesn't pull the lyrics automatically then put the .lrcs into the folders with the songs and see if it pulls them now (it should)

>>750069598I'm glad we got to work together on it! It's always great when the passion is on all sides, because of course I love Z0NE's work as well. It was genuinely one of those moments where I figured the song had to have been done a decade ago but checked anyway and was just so surprised when it wasn't marked yet, because of course only 1 topic could do it justice.
Regarding the neocities banner, couldn't it technically be twice the resolution now since it's not on Bandcamp?
Do not die
>>750071271It's euro sleep time now.
Alright anons, because this is not really my call I want to I thought I should ask the thread.Previous streamer-anon has offered to do it again. They could put a hustle on it and be ready by the stream time. He and I both have goods and bads of doing it so we're not really sure how to decide how to move forward. I won't make a poll or anything (because I'm a lazy bastard) but I thought I'd throw this out there to see how anons feel.
>>750071518Thank god for that, those retards wouldnt know what a rhyme is even if we sicced our sharpest autists on them
>>750071625I don't have a strong preference as to who does it, so do you want to do it or would you prefer to pass it off?
>>750071625It's the safe bet, they know the traditions and we can trust they do it right. If the main bad is just "other people were looking into doing it too already" then I don't think it hurts to have the OG step back in. perhaps there is something I'm missing there, but in a tradition-based setting I love any time the tradition keeps strong.
>>750071691(for clarification not-old-streamer here)Yes and no and I know that's a real fucking annoying thing to hear. So I'll just be honest:I want to try and improve on some things on the twitch side, the organizational side and the setup-of-this-nonsense side.I love the musical so I also want to try and make sure this doesn't have so many hiccups. But also because I love the musical, I see how bad of a system we have here for this and I want to make it a bit more futureproof. BUTTTttt:I'm a bit busy, but I can do it. I've already started planning around it.I have a fear of fucking this up.It's a fuckton of work, I don't know how much people realize it but the whole adding gifs to the stream thing? Yeah that is like actually a lot. It's 14-16 hours long as well and that's a pretty big investment time/effortwise.I've wanted to try and make some of the OBS improvements for years but put it off because it happens at the end of the musical and it's a bit weird to be like "ERM ACKSHUALLY, can I talk to you about your OBS settings?"
>>750072179I'm only concerned with ORBS setting. And a fat titty anime girl SETTING her massive orbs on my FACE.
>>750070012Hello?
>>750070012>>750072360? anything can be twice the resolution and sized down if needed, that's always been possible
>>750072179>I want to try and improve on some things on the twitch side, the organizational side and the setup-of-this-nonsense side.I guess it depends on what those improvements are. Sometimes better is worse when you're talking about tradition. But when it's this vague I don't know what you mean.>It's a fuckton of work, I don't know how much people realize it but the whole adding gifs to the stream thing? Yeah that is like actually a lot.Agree there. When I had a turn running the stream a few years ago the gifs stuff was a lot, and I pre-planned a lot of it in advance with sources I could toggle on and off and then add thread gifs as it went on. And yeah the time commitment overall is a big thing.>I have a fear of fucking this up.Yeah I was worried when I did one as well. It had rough bits but people were mostly forgiving on that. The main thing I took away after I did 1 stream was that if I did it again, I'd get it a little closer to the books next time. I didn't stray far but I made some little changes that didn't really need to be made. People like the way things were normally, so do I. Not sure if that applies to your sort of changes at all though, if it's like "the stream can be higher bitrate without messing with slow internet guys!" then obviously yeah that's awesome.>I've wanted to try and make some of the OBS improvements for years but put it off because it happens at the end of the musical and it's a bit weird to be like "ERM ACKSHUALLY, can I talk to you about your OBS settings?"Wouldn't hurt to explain what you mean there, even if you didn't do the stream this year it could help. If I ever did the stream again I'd be able to at least consider whatever you're referring to.
>the gifs stuff was a lotummm?? just add elaine
>>750073101no no you need to tilt her at just the right angle and speed her up to thrash at maximum capacity without the fps getting too high and making her look static, it's a lot. elaine is high maintenance.
>>750072851Here's an example, I want to protect certain parts of the screen so I've done some OBS source magic to do that. I thought it might be a bit too strict so I am playing around with some opacity for it as well.I'm trying to refine some of the background settings, yes bitrate but also stuff like changing some things (that are basically invisible to the viewer) so that we can get a native recording of the stream, with chat, without getting banned. I'm trying to setup some stuff so that one person doesn't have to add the gifs and the load can be shared.Some of the more organizational stuff I am going to leave vague but ultimately: I do not like how reliant this part is on like, one or two people. That is dangerous so I'm taking some steps so that if all of the current streamfags died, someone could pick up the mantle fairly easily, probably less than a day (assuming all the other shit is ready ofc).Next year I'd look at changing more things, but ultimately my goal is that a lot of changes are mostly invisible to the viewer or are stuff that I can iterate on. Like next year I wanna try a different player, musicbee is actually fucking annoying. I'd like one that is a bit more flexible Even if that means I have to get it made myself.
>>750073101I’m the Elaine poster and I hate that someone has stolen my identity
>>750074167listen here you little shit
Got to see this legend and shed some tears <3 <3Anyways, my time in LA (and America in general) is up! Time for me to fly back home!!It was a week full of fun and discovering new things. Good job to everyone working on organizing stuff! You're all the MVP!!
>>750075075hope your travels in our garbage country were pleasant. hope we didn't set a bad impression. some foreigners might laud this place, but to live here... it fucking sucks, that is, unless you're wealthy...not to get political or anything. glad you enjoyed your stay.
>>750073792>I thought it might be a bit too strict so I am playing around with some opacity for it as well.I worry it might not be strict enough if users are adding gifs. the stream needs readable lyrics. sure in the video it works, but how well will it hold up to the bitrate of twitch live if a bunch of gifs are under the text? Even with gifs just near it sometimes it crumbles live. >I'm trying to refine some of the background settings, yes bitrate but also stuff like changing some things (that are basically invisible to the viewer) so that we can get a native recording of the stream, with chat, without getting banned. that's kino, especially if it can bypass bitrate issues so that the VOD won't be bitcrushed (even if there's charm to seeing it as the viewer would 1:1).>I'm trying to setup some stuff so that one person doesn't have to add the gifs and the load can be shared.if you mean a few people with a role for that somehow I'd gladly help as the dude that did all the gifs 2 years ago. if it's an extension anyone can use without very strict limits, I worry about people focusing on playing with the gifs so hard that they ignore the songs being played. we already get situations where if a song has to be restarted, it might be all the chat discusses the whole length of the song. I don't want to see the drama of someone posting deltarune gifs and then someone else spamming anti-tranny gifs over them, and someone putting a strobe gif over the lyrics where even just for a little bit until it gets culled that's annoying.>I do not like how reliant this part is on like, one or two people.Yeah same. Part of why I wanted to stream myself 2 years ago is that I know I can rely on myself and now I'm at least always a backup option as long as I'm breathing. It'd be good to have some easier way to get people on-boarded for this, that's why I like sharing my .xml, it took me a lot longer than people would probably guess to get that "right".
>>750075362>if you mean a few people with a role for that somehow I'd gladly help as the dude that did all the gifs 2 years ago.It would not be open to everyone, I had actually played around with that idea but I just realized it's a bit naive. It's too easy for what you described, or for one person to get it banned, etc.>I worry it might not be strict enough if users are adding gifs.Yeah it's super easily modifiable on my end, and I also have some more knobs I could turn that I haven't really been playing with yet if I'm KINDA waiting to see if I'm even doing this based on what people say kek.>that's kino, especially if it can bypass bitrate issues so that the VOD won't be bitcrushed (even if there's charm to seeing it as the viewer would 1:1).The native recording is whatever I set it to, it can even be higher than we have on Twitch. Do note that it is still subject to whatever it is uploaded to, so Youtube still has to deal with whatever we put on it. But obviously downloads of it should be basically pure and clean.
>>750075628>I'm KINDA waiting to see if I'm even doing this based on what people say kek.I think your ideas for the most part, they sound worth trying out at least. If you're the guy that said you normally stream all the time anyway I figure it can't go too wrong, I was rough as hell in spots and people understood it was a learning process. The short video you posted a bit ago already "looks" like the stream so if it has the gifs and someone to babysit it live and listen to the chat if shit gets fucked up somehow, then it's golden imo. Not sure how many more people will speak up, these post-poll days are always kinda just dead. I think most people will be grateful for anyone that streams it, whether it's you or the other guy.>Youtube still has to deal with whatever we put on itoh yeah of course, I just imagine Youtube's version of a native recording is bound to look much cleaner than that shit being streamed live and recorded through screen capture by a viewer.
Videofaggan bump.
>>750076513>oh yeah of course, I just imagine Youtube's version of a native recording is bound to look much cleaner than that shit being streamed live and recorded through screen capture by a viewer.Export your scene in OBS, and let me do some changes :)>If you're the guy that said you normally stream all the time anyway I figure it can't go too wrongI stream every day. And I have for the past lot of years. I like to leave room for that kinda shit. But I get what you're saying and you are probably correct.>Not sure how many more people will speak upYeah I'm thinking I'll at least let it simmer, I just didn't like the idea of deciding this shit without the thread involved at all. I do appreciate you responding though tytytyI also really tried to turn off twitch's global automod so we could at least type fag/faggot but it's baked in a bit too hard :/
ALRIGHT YOU FAGGOTS!We need to decide which album comes first in the musical. Going off the poll winners gives us 3 competing results (Ban won album art so we could open with I, Shitposter, but This Website Is (Almost Kill) got more votes so we could open with that, but Friendslop Titles got more votes than both so we could open with Friendslop) so the seemingly best way is to run an opener poll.This will only decide the opening song, so coming in 2nd here has no influence on where that song goes in the albums. The options are linked here, please listen before voting:https://gofile.io/d/vOMydhmPAnd vote here:https://strawpoll.com/05Zdz2qxVn6We're not opening with Industry or Platforms, therefore those are abscent from the poll. And it seems thread consensus is that The Middle (of the Grind) is our 5th vidya opener and should open the middle album, so that's not here either.
fuckin page 8 already>>750076901>Export your scene in OBS, and let me do some changes :)oh lmao I don't stream regularly and this isn't the same computer I had for the last stream. my OBS isn't set up nearly at all right now, I just pointed practically default settings to musicbee for video and audio and linked it to twitch and was gonna figure out the rest this week if I had to set up. If you do stream though, sharing whatever you end up setting up somehow would be a blessing, I'd make sure to keep it available in the future like the .xml.>I also really tried to turn off twitch's global automod so we could at least type fag/faggot but it's baked in a bit too hard :/yeah this has been a thing for a while but at least it's nice that if someone does pop their head in they're less likely to see a good reason to nuke us instantly. just depends on how rude the song is.
>>750078263I meant for you recording the stream, I can get you to a better product there too
>>750077326So either way we can't have Friendslop as the last album?
>>750078367that one isn't me, the guy who does it literally just records his screen iirc. all I did was stream once a few years ago, the recorder is different and the VOD uploader is yet another different person. we usually coordinate that shit in the discord to not clutter the thread, but hopefully he'll see this here soon enough anyway if it's something he cares about.
>>750069113>>750069596Lol that was me, I'm a guy. Somebody expressed interest in Age-Verified but they never updated after that
>>750078384If it doesn't win the poll it's not impossible, that would mean ending on Play a Few Games Together which could be neat. Ultimately it depends on which song we think is the best stream closer.
>>750077326Does choosing the opening sort of dictate the pattern of the rest? To keep that sense of symmetry?
>>750078741it'll impact it at least, yeah. so if you want vidya for example pick an option from vidya that has a chance to win.
>>750078741Not necessarily. We'll keep some balance (Grind is #5, BC 1 in the first half, BC 2 in the last half) but it's not impossible to open with BC and close with Vidya.
So just to clarify, if Vidya wins, that doesn't mean that Friendslop MUST be the first album right?
>>750078632Ain't no way there isn't a femanon in those backing vocals wtf
>>750078893If Friendslop Titles wins, Friendslop is the first album. If any other song wins, Friendslop is not the first album.
>>750078915I recorded the chorus 25 times, one in each character voice (Sheila, Liane, Sharon, the husbands, and the printer guy). Only used one Sheila lead and 20 backing tracks
>>750078915I laugh at the idea that some people have never heard of voice acting or falsetto. the guy is good at it, I'll give him that, I couldn't handle that song that way.
>>750079027I kneel....
>>750078502if I feel like it, tomorrow I might make a template for stream recordan.
>>750079065But it doesn't sound like falsetto, it sounds like musefemanon.
>>750077326>place my vote for This Website Is (Almost) Kill, causing the tie to return>someone coincidentally places a vote for First Run, mere minutes later
this pleases my autism
>>750079237I would've loved a multi-anon chorus, but I said I wouldn't shill my stuff so I didn't. I had to make two project files for Age-Verified, one for the song and one for the chorus: this is from the latter.
>>750079237yeah, she had a feminine voice but it also had some deepness to it, so I can kinda see that. the new guy is great with voices but he has a very slight accent I notice when timing some stuff.>>750079370I didn't run that poll but whoever did can hopefully check the data on it, it's not too surprising for a new poll to have votes trickle in but ideally there's something they can notice if it's off like it always being a counter-vote.
>>750079504That's kinda why I spoke up, just in case the pollrunner noticed anything odd
>>750066562Remember to vote! if Sex with White Korra wins, the version currently on the sheet gets in because clearly people don't care enough to change the file
>>750079976>rigging the poll because you don't like the outcomelmao
>>750079976I can't change my vote and I accidentally clicked Sex with Korra.
>>750079976yeah that makes sense, if people would rather make a joke than actually vote in the poll then we should go out of the way to fuck over the people that did actually care.
>>750079976very convenient that you waited until the joke option got plenty of votes to announce that. especially on a poll where you can't multi-vote and can't change your vote. you should just admit you don't care what people think and want the version that sucks to listen to on the album even if the poll doesn't go your way.
>>750079976yeah what the fuck man, I would at least un-vote for the joke option if you're counting that against real votes
shaking my head frfr
I'm not actually doing that I was just trying to scare people into vooting
>>750079370Honestly it was between both of those for me, I like the upbeat openers
>>750080828well fuck you even harder then, I would have voted half scat and I still think that's a double asshole move. now you're just fucking over people clicking the joke option because you told them it was a full scat option.
>>750080667>can't change your voteI didn't even realise that's a setting you need to enable. Changing your vote should be possible now.
Scat? Voting? I just wanna fuck White Korra for god's sake!
>>750080872okay I see it nowwhere's the White Korra Scat option?
reminder to vote in the Vidya Opener poll in the OP as well. less than 4 hours left on it.
Something I noticed while re-checking the video playlist and re-watching the streamsI don't think anyone ever uploaded the video for "As The Stars Burn Oout"The video exists, I saved the mp4 when Anon originally posted it to a google drive, I believe? But no one ever actually uploaded it to youtube. Curious if the one who made the video just didn't want it uploaded for some reason, or if there was another reason what.
LIVE
Can I post here yet?
Guys, come on, you're so lazy that none of you have been bumping all day, let alone organizing the albums! The stream is in less than 3 days!
>>750081812that's not enough days!
uhhhhh In The Middle (Of The Grind) wins the last Opener slot
Looks like we are backI added these timings which were missing:>A Kid in Kamurocho>He Has Wam>Don't Declare War>Heated Gamer Moment>(Game Ain't) Easy>Group of 5And repaired two others which were missing a [00:00.00]:>Spamming the Guns>Staring Past the EdgeI ran a script against all the links, and every rentry link has a [00:00.00] now (or equivalent), meaning as of now all timings should be good to go. Whoever is doing the google drive links seems to have done it fine, all the ones I looked at checked out. Some of the rentry links have different formats (such as [0:00.000]) or have a first line with two colons ([00:00:00]) but my guess is musicbee handles those fine so it shouldn't be an issue. It's not trivial to check with a script whether the lyrics actually belong to the song, I was only able to check formatting and for duplicate links, so at the very least every song has a unique rentry link that is formatted.Also I made a new edit of Too Gay To Play at the request of the comment on the sheet, using the stems posted by some anon in the thread. Let me know if it's better https://gofile.io/d/M2ZF4BOI

Threads really last 50 MINTUES without posting now? Jesus....oh....This was typed yesterday I missed you faggots. Now please for the love of god more people weigh in on who they want to stream.
>>750082053They are two completely different genres, it didn’t flow well sadly, their new spots flows a lot better with the songs surrounding them.
>>750082067whoever is ready should stream, it's that simple. it doesn't matter who it is as long as they do what they gotta do.
>>750082192understandable, seems otherwise fine to me
>>750081860That song and Have a Blast should be spaced out more. They have the same singer.
There's definitely been some rigging with the polls, both of the green bumps happened at the same time. I think First Run leads even disregarding the rigging, I know for a fact two of those votes were legit (and there's still an hour left before voting closes).As for the scat vote, I have no idea how to interpret the result so here's the CSV: https://gofile.io/d/Ago8LFxmPoll autist, do your thing.
>>750081860and yeah here's the data on this poll. only 1 NO vote and don't see anything else we really have time to nitpick at. I didn't run the other polls so whoever did can post those results with the data stuff.
>>750030552Final mix for That’s So Ravenoushttps://gofile.io/d/B7m98C2g
>>750082364First Run doubled it's votes while 4chan was down(???) while no other song seemed to get votes at all
>>750082563Yeah, as I said there's definitely been rigging. But at least two of those votes were legit so it's not all rigging. I'll leave the poll running for another hour or two and then post the csv.
grind needs songs moving to toad is poked and swords that will save to even out the lengths
>>750082874that's just because i started with the first two vidya albums and moved songs off them to get the correct total times calculated. will fix momentarily.
>>750082364FYI I didn’t realize we had this poll and just voted for First Run
yo K I got you stems for Died In Your Arms: https://gofile.io/d/1FOEHxZGThis should sound better than what you're using. Remember to mute the count-in and cut the silence at the start.
>503
Who is gonna bake
>>750082364In my autistic opinion the editor/main singer should be deciding here because no matter what it looks like barely anybody seriously voted.I don't like that quite obviously there is rigging on both, but it's at least easy to see how here. It looks clear that someone was watching the poll and dumped "Scat" votes whenever "No Scat" gained 1 vote, the site was offline so there's not a real reason for clustered votes like this at all. But it's hard to even say what that means, because for all we know it's someone trying to make "Scat" look bad. The only "No" vote being "a little scat" is funny imo, but irrelevant past saying whoever is rigging here isn't using the same method the other clearly rigged polls this year used. We can't single out US votes like NO votes because that's almost all the non-joke votes.Honestly I don't think the results of this one are that important to people, just look at the joke votes, but looking at the votes from when the site was online it looks like it was literally just 1 person that wanted the full scat, 1 that wanted it quieter, and 2 that wanted it gone. I don't think that's fully representative of anything though.>>750083427>>750083509I'll bake in a minute relax
>>750083509it's all so sudden!no really i doubt the resident baker and a lot of others are aware of how back we are.
>>750083572I agree, let the singfag decide.Polling for little additions of each song is a waste of time, let singfags have their own vision.

>>750081913>Kojima/Xbox ComboDid this get split up from Console Warring Siblings? Normally we put reprises on the same album, don't we?
>>750083953wasn't that literally the same song? with the same two singfags to boot?
>>750083268thank you kindly
>>750083953>>750084032yeah it's the same song and doesn't feel like a reprise, the topics aren't the same. they should be spread.
>>750084032Uhm, technically, they're a parody of two separate source songs... which have the same instrumental and most of the vocal melody.
>>750081860Fun
