@starkatt a descriptive specification of the universe gives a ~satisfying explanation for the origin of living beings that behave as though they are conscious and even describe themselves that way, but i get hung up on the gap between that and the actual subjective experience. the external phenomenon is ~explainable but i find myself unable to fully rationalize the subjective sensation.

@starkatt most of the time it's hard to even convey to ppl why i consider it a conundrum :-P

@starkatt that is a shame, the subjective experience of consciousness is one of my favorite metaphysical conundrums 😜

@starkatt ‪...what do they say?‬

@what they literally did

oh right, writing music in a cafe that plays music is difficult <_<

@kitsch yes ^^ i'm interested in trying cause it sounds fun, if either of us ever wants to do a larger project with actual goals and expectations we can be more formal, but for now it's just i like indie games and want to see what happens if i nudge myself into a new musical style

@kitsch that works! genres meaning like, 8-bit / chiptune vs electronic vs gamey acoustic, vague instrumentation? i can try something from just this but if you can think of any specific games or tracks that have a rough audio aesthetic you like, that helps

@kitsch sure ^^

(i mean, reiterating i'm time constrained / have a child / etc but it sounds fun to try and i have a bit of free time today :D)

@kitsch my very-non-game original music is at beadysea.bandcamp.com, the guidance i'd need for a demo track would basically be what format and like, examples of the genre / mood you'd want to aim for ^^

@kitsch haha no it's not guilt, i've been looking for an excuse to learn more about game music for ages and i feel less bad inflicting myself on someone who is also figuring it out 😜

@kitsch so like with the disclaimer that i'm very time constrained and kind of flaky and have never done game music (all my recordings have been mostly-acoustic vocal-centric songs), i could try making a track if you like? XD

@kitsch what kind of games are you working on?

times some crimes go slipping through the cracks

@shoofle i dunno like before this gen i would never have thought / expected to rave about how well written a pokemon game was

@shoofle it is so good, i'm not certain it's my favorite pokemon bc sentimentality but it's definitely the best one i've played

picking up pokemon moon again after a six month gap and geez

1. the writing in this game really is amazing
2. there sure is a theme about shitty parents isn't there
