As an added note: There was a point in my YouTube journey where I became disinterested in making oscilloscope views, so in 2021, I wanted to do a slow transition into not making such videos anymore. Well, I can say in 2025 that oscilloscope views are here to stay!

Recently on X, I discovered Chords being shown alongside the amazing work of @badtasty.bsky.social

Seeing people excited for what I'm doing frankly means the world to me ❤️

16-bit love lives on! 🕹️

I've seen clips of his stuff on other channels, and it was enough for me to go, "Yeah, AVGN is definitely not for me."

Hollywood and TV have been pushing a stereotype of emotionally cold, humourless "little genius" autism and it annoys me. It doesn't reflect reality. It gives people a wrong idea.

Autism is a broad spectrum and every person is different. It's absolutely not true that all autists are like that. 🦊

I had a Facebook account from 2010 to 2021, when I was 13 to 24. During the last few years I was on Facebook, I had definitely cringed at my old posts. My teenage self wanted everyone's attention, so I would post something and then tag many of my friends and family. What a time that was...

Those are new terms to me. I've heard "skeet" being used in a video, though it was a different context. "Reskeet?" That just sounds weird to me. I'll also continue saying "post," and "re-post," among others like you.

It's because I like working with FM chips a lot, and it tends to be easy to create something that sounds like flatulence on FM synth 😬. Thus, I try to avoid making something that sounds like that.

For me, it depends. If I'm doing a track that has elements of 90s EDM or DnB:

Sound design>Rhythm>Melody>Harmony

If I'm revisiting an old tune or creating a song that isn't meant to be EDM:

Sound design>Melody>Harmony>Rhythn

I very much prefer instrumentals, so I didn't put lyrics in my ranks.

Vomit Bonnet!

#Trainz #TrainzSimulator #TrainzRailroadSimulator #TrainzANewEra #BNSFRailway

This is a screenshot taken from a train simulator showing a BNSF coal train in a mountainous area. The lead locomotive itself is an EMD SD70MAC painted in a livery most railfans call the "Vomit Bonnet," as it combines the pattern of ATSF Railways' "Warbonnet" livery with the colors of BN Railroad's "Executive" livery. The real-world locomotive itself (numbered 9647) was delivered in August 1995, and it wore this paint scheme until 2013 (when it was repainted in BNSF's Heritage III scheme).

Very much the equivalent of yelling or screaming, and I often wonder why the heck the other user wants to yell online.
