@elifyalvac @sean_ae @Rushup_Dee Thanks so much.

And I look forward to it!

@Cognessence @oscillik @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee lol

I just don’t get it

There’s a few GM sounds I like, like the PMA-5 was GM but had a lot of Roland character, R8 sounds and whatnot

But this stuff is just really icky - millennials will get teary eyed over it and I’m like

@Cognessence @oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee i’ll never forget my summer with dr. sbaitzo.

@sean_ae @elifyalvac @Cognessence @Rushup_Dee this reminds me when I saw Sevted Heads on their Rotund For success tour Tom Ellard had a gameboy hooked to his belt and left his headphones around his neck for the gig. Oh and MC 900 FT JESUS opened! Great show!

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@oscillik @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee this is understandable

[oscillik@mstdn.social]

@sean_ae @Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee Ehh, I only really dig the DOOM and DOOM II soundtracks. Maybe Duke Nukem 3D as well. But I completely admit it's nostalgia.

@sean_ae @oscillik @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee "But this stuff is just really icky - millennials will get teary eyed over it and I’m like " this made me lol out loud (thread has been doing that a lot, glad I'm not snickering at a screen while bad GM sounds pipe out with any onlookers.)

Not sure it's just nostalgia though; something so disturbingly "nothing" and pure ugly about those sounds that is really alluring now. But as a kid I hated them and hooked up the MIDI to an external module.

@elifyalvac @oscillik @Cognessence it looks like a ton of fun yeah, almost can’t believe it exists, least expected elektron offshoot so far

@changterhune @elifyalvac @Cognessence @Rushup_Dee Claude young did gigs with a qy20, just holding it in his hands, no table

[elifyalvac@tldr.nettime.org]

@Cognessence same no tears! I think it is beyond nostalgia but I won’t advertise and link my thesis lol but I think the idea is the value of these goes beyond that nostalgia link. @sean_ae @oscillik @Rushup_Dee

@emenel @oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee Oh man, I feel I missed out. I never knew then those nights could have ambled away with the robot Soundblaster therapist...Truly deprived.

@Cognessence @emenel @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee I can just fire up my Amiga 1200 and load up the original Say program

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@elifyalvac @sean_ae @oscillik You're making me want to re-download my GOG Keen collection! The dreams will surely improve.

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@elifyalvac @sean_ae @oscillik @Rushup_Dee I wantonly spammed my turbocharged antics, so I'm sure we'd all welcome it.

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@elifyalvac @Cognessence @oscillik @Rushup_Dee if someone at least 50 years old can corroborate then I might believe you

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @elifyalvac @oscillik @Rushup_Dee

This is what the thesis may prove!

[emenel@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee i learned a lot ... about pronoun inversion and grammar substitution lol

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@emenel @oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee Ha!

Speaking of educational software - did any of you play these? Amazing. Not much pronoun inversion and grammar substitution learned, but some physics. Maybe.

@sean_ae @Cognessence @oscillik @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee I really like Vektroid's (of OG vaporwave fame) “Seed & Synthetic Earth” album, e.g.: https://vektroid.bandcamp.com/track/moebius-blue

It's not *quite* GM sounds — it sounds very evocative of them, while being a bit cleaner and more interesting than pure GM sounds.

As far as age, I am squarely millennial (33 y/o).
