A picture of a 19-inch, 12-unit high rack. It’s made out of MDF, and installed in this is a Roland U-220, Yamaha MU128, Roland SC-8850, a MIDISport 4x4 Anniversary Edition, a Roland SC-55 mark 2. There’s a blank space of 1 unit in height, and above that is a Roland XV-5050, an Alesis DM5, and an E-MU ESI4000 Sampler. Another blank 1 unit space, followed by the Alesis S4 plus, and finally a Behringer RX1602 mixer.
youtube mobile app, instead of showing comments by default it prompts the user to “summarise the video”
A picture of the moon in the middle of a black void.
Playthrough of Furnace Tracker module with custom Windows XP lookalike embellishments around the tracker capture.
a picture of a GameBoy Advance SP, in what looks like a classic NES shell, playing the demo for Donkey Kong Land 3. The picture is lit like a spotlight, focusing on the new shell and the game on display, with everything else in pitch black darkness.
A video comparing the sound effects for hitting enemies, the games in question cycle through Mega Man 3, 4, 5 and 6.
symphony of the night. we’re fighting a big dude who uses electric attacks that really can damage alucard. he ends up being tickled to death by constantly attacking his feet instead.
symphony of the night. we’re in some sort of cave, alucard is fighting a doppleganger, however his attacks are healing our alucard instead of damaging him
a nfl playoffs button it has like a handegg graphic behind it as well and its green
a list of options that reveal themselves to the user upon clicking "create" in youtube studio. there's your basic stuff like upload videos, go live, create post, new playlist but now there's also buttons for new podcast (which ok yeah sure) and. new course. New course. For if you want to graduate yourtube.
it's an image of the game tic tac toe while the song "x vs zero" from rockman x5 plays.
A mock up of an emulation front end, like the above post, this time the menu mentions NES titles - the right hand side menu is different in that it brings up all release dates instead of just one, and on the bottom there are button prompts for actions relating to the selected title.
A mock-up of an emulation front-end, with the two primary colours being a dark, de-saturated blue and a bright beige. The left half of the screen uses the dark blue as a backdrop, with prominent elements being displayed in the beige colour, namely the system title (Nintendo 64), available games (26 in this mockup, although not all are shown), and a list of games. In particular, Cruis'n USA is highlighted, and marked as a favourite (with a star), and is also currently selected. The right half of the screen shows selection information, in this case the year of release, the company who produced the game (no publisher info as of right now), a selection of tags (in this case, N64, 1-2 Players, Port, Racing were selected), and a placeholder description.
A photograph depicting a train station's platform, captured as a train is rolling in to the platform. Several people can be seen in the background but they are not the key subject. The track and the platform bend slightly towards the end of the platform, and leads into a tunnel.
Video capture of FL Studio playing through a song
A partial screenshot of the TCRF page for The Legend of Zelda (NES), it highlights how bold text is rendered with a different font (in this case Algerian rather than Arial) resulting in very weird looking text. It might be funny but it also is annoying at the same time. The browser also uses a dark theme plugin to recolour pages so that it's white text on black backdrops (chalk on blackboard) rathern than the opposite.
video capture of FamiTracker
Gameplay footage from Metroid Prime Remastered. It depicts the protagonist repeatedly shooting at a series of enemies that respawn, in an attempt to slowly recover health.
terraria video. it's just me fumbling about but the main keynote is how there's just a random human going "hoot" presumably as an easter egg?
A picture depicting two Pokémon cartridges that are opened only to reveal a fake PCB inside that has no battery to back up the save.
A photo of Super Metroid’s completion screen that shows once you finish the game. It says “SEE YOU NEXT MISSION” which is all caps text behind a greyed out logo that has a stylised “S” in the centre. Below it is more text that says “YOUR RATE FOR COLLECTING ITEMS IS 77%”
it's a picture of Mega Man (DOS)'s title screen, but with multiple Mega Men on the bottom, along with text on the right hand side of the title's logo that says "STYLE"
the video is just a recording from Furnace tracker of the song being played
A video listing (not public yet, of course) - there's a Mega Man thumbnail - dark blue backdrop, grid on the bottom, has a Mega Man logo in the modern Rockman Japanese style, with the letters SPC appended at the end, and "STYLE" just below it, all in fancy shining text. Just above the logo are 5 normal coloured Mega Man sprites from Mega Man 7 - sliding, standing, jumping, shooting and lastly, damaged. Okay, that was the thumbnail, the video title just says "Mega Man Style - Stage 9 (Original)". The text below it, which is part of the description, says "I've embarked on an adventure to recreate every mainline Mega Man style and I can..."
A demo reel video from 2024 showcasing my soundtrack works across different projects and games.
A listing of a couple of videos scheduled on YouTube - 5 in total, covering different songs that I've yet to release on the platform. Only one of those has a custom thumbnail as I need to create thumbnails for the rest.
Right, so this is a picture of a Yamaha DX7s. Yep. I know it says Ensoniq SQ80 "Digital programmable waveform synthesizer" on the actual picture, but stick with me for a bit, mkay? So I have been a bit devious. Malicious, even. Delightfully devilish, Seymour. And decided that I'd recreate the sort of logo style the DX7s (and later Yamaha synths of the 80s) had, but with the Ensoniq SQ80 text on it instead. All vectors, baby! This sucked to do. Genuinely.
a sprite of Mega Man 4 enemy "Imorm" on top of Centaur Man's body (Mega Man 6)
Square poster, text says "Get 40% off! Use code 'NY2025'. / This is valid on anything from my discography, starting from today until the 5th of January 2025 / Come get yourself some great music to start 2025 with! / Only on Bandcamp"
Video of Furnace playing through my song IMU Café. It's a comparison of slightly chorused echos on vs off.
a Yamaha YM1226 soundchip - it is a 24-pin DIP package with 12 pins on either side, dark gray, rectangular, with a glossy hole on the bottom left and a less deep but larger hole that's of the same matt material as the rest of the package on the right. the text says "YAMAHA Japan / YM1226 / 9034 IBAB". In other words, it's an edit of the YM2612 screenshot that's like the first result on Google Images to say YM1226 because something something American date formats are nonsensical. Yeag.
a picture of a Yamaha YM2612 soundchip - it is a 24-pin DIP package with 12 pins on either side, body itself is a matt dark gray with one glossy hole around the bottom left corner, and another less noticeable but larger matt hole towards the right side of the chip. there is text on it that says "YAMAHA Japan / YM2612 / 9034 IBAB"
A screenshot of Balatro in which you can see I won the game (it’s endless really, I continued and immediately lost lmfao)
Youtube music 2024 recap image. It describes my tastes as a “superhero” character which frankly I don’t know what it means, it has a yellow shield graphic with a red star with blue outer rings, and with a variety of colourful CDs below it all in some action-y upwards motion. It then goes to the Top Artists section, comprising of T-SQUARE, FearofDark, CASIOPEA, Garrett Williamson and MagnĂčs PĂ lsson, and then the top tracks, all from T-SQUARE’s album “33”, namely Iberian Seascape, Flying Colors, Again And Again, Rondo and Freeze Flame. Finally it sums up my total listening time to 1690 minutes.
Here we see a cropped screenshot of an upcoming release named "Within end's reach" - currently in review by the distribution team. The cover art is in black & white, depicting a white hand against a black background, reaching out into a white area. A few of the fingers manage to reach this white area, where they become inverted to be black instead. Text on the top right says "Within end's reach" and "MelonadeM 2024" in a fancy round looking font, and like the hand is either white against black, or (mostly) black against white.
it's a photoshopped picture of a beige furred cat wearing a pair of headphones (not over the ears, as his ass is NOT listening), meowing rather proudly into a blue yeti microphone (which, mind you, is incorrectly set up - it should be reversed so that the cat's majestic noise can be picked up, rather than it going to the dead end of the polar pattern the microphone might be configured for. idk. it's a blue yeti. i think it does several patterns?). anyway his ass is NOT listening and is NOT using the microphone correctly thats what matters!!!
FL studio playlist. the song is "live and learn" from sonic adventure 2 but like it's a remix and the lead is the mario paint cat sound.
This is a grid of 20 video games that I have played and replayed throughout 2024. Titles include Mega Man 10, 9, 8 and 7 (through the Legacy Collection 2 bundle on Switch), Super Mario Wonder, Super Mario RPG, Shovel Knight (the Shovel of Hope campaign in particular), Arzette, The Messenger, Paper Mario (switch), Kirby's Dream Land, Super Mario World, Zelda: Links Awakening (switch), Axiom Verge 2, Final Fantasy 14 online, Mega Man 11, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Make a Good Mega Man Level 3, Zelda Echoes of Wisdom and Resident Evil 5. These games are all either on Switch or PC, the only two platforms I own.
Footage of the new Zelda game, Echoes of Wisdom, where Zelda defeats the enemy by repeatedly summoning sea urchins
Ok, so we're in FL Studio's playlist view, but there's only one pattern with a few differently-coloured notes. These notes are mapped to different colours depending on what instrument they're playing.
A visualized playthrough of the song "Unbounded Horizons" from Dormiveglia
Cropped screenshot of my Twitter deactivation success prompt - it says "Deactivated", "Your account is deactivated", "Sorry to see you go. #GoodBye"
A special Bluesky plaque sort of image, celebrating 10 million users. Depicting that I am user 439237, or the first 10%.
A photograph of four sheets of paper, mostly overlaying one another partially. All papers regard a patch listing for all the sounds that can be found on the Access Virus TI’s internal memory. There are 17 banks in total. The lists all use a blue accent to highlight parts and separate banks
A set of three papers, each containing printed information about programs on the Alesis S4 Plus (synthesizer released in 1995).
A picture of my Switch - it’s showing Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore is currently downloading
