I've compiled two half-hour soundtracks done so far: Swamp and Dungeon.
- Swamp is about fighting magical creatures from European myth in a swamp.
- Dungeon is about delving a typical roguelike dungeon. Not the deep tunnels of the Underdark, or a tomb, for example.
DCSS soundtrack | YouTube playlist
I searched Pixabay for relevant royalty-free songs, then arranged them in a thematic lyrics-free playlist suitable for videogaming. Then I added a fantasy art slideshow to make it a YouTube video. The pictures are sequenced to suggest a story.
r/GameMusic appreciated my first soundtrack. r/RoguelikeDev is also very interested in free soundtracks, but the mods won't allow me to post my playlist there, because anything even tangentially related to my fork of DCSS isn't allowed. The main roguelike subreddits have banded together to forbid mention of my fork, because I observed that SJWs took over the DCSS community and ruined it.
This behavior is not specific to me; they previously banned mention of Malcolm Rose's fork of DCSS. Malcolm is the top DCSS streaker, and was banned by the DCSS mods for being conservative. The roguelikes subreddits embargoed and killed Malcolm's fork, because he was not aware that SJWs converge institutions against conservatives.
However, I anticipate the persecution and simply document it to build the case for replacing the converged institutions entirely. Reddit is rotten to the core. It is owned by Advance Publications, a Jewish company fostering a cultural revolution led by tranny mods. Github has a speech code as well, so my documentation is on the censorship-free Gitgud.io Gitlab instance.
Every bikini-clad beauty I include in my soundtrack videos reminds these miserable lunatics that they will never be a real woman. That's why the logo of r/dcsf is a naked water nymph. Forget stupid MacGuffins; a beautiful woman is the only prize worth fighting for!
What a load of shit, it is interesting though how naked it's all getting, the normies can't feign ignorance for much longer when they're openly targeting people for politics while faking being apolitical constantly because a lot of them do this and I get so pissed off about it.
What's GitGud.io? It it a github clone of some kind? I may copy-paste my own code just in case because I could see the fucking leftists targeting my work at some point as well simply because I refuse to be woke. We definitely need to take more steps to free infrastructure from the leftists as a whole so they can't continue doing this.
GitLab instance. Github and GitLab (possibly others) were censoring offensive language and/or gamergate back from the start. I stumbled upon it within the past week because the referenced example of the +nigger license out in the wild was hosted there.
Off-topic: Often enough a random dipshit in an arbitrary Reddit thread, lakotajames in this case, will have activity in the first KiA, positively or negatively upvoted. False intellectual diversity if you ask me. The user in question is the type to downvote any disagreement within 20 minutes of a response, because fuck netiquette and self-awareness.
I've always been against the arbitrary voting systems as a way of measuring engagement, it should be down to comment activity more than some easy to exploit vote people click on. It's precisely why I avoid mainstream sites now because I want engagement from human beings rather than endless bots and sock puppet accounts. It's also why I think that any voting system should have the user listed so you can check out if it's some alt-account downvoting you constantly and it usually is.
One thing I wish is that there is a hell of a lot more transparency overall with metric. Weird ramble I know but I've been thinking about it a lot in relation to bot exploits and how common they are now. A solution I found for view botting would be to let you see which users have clicked on what, the metrics are likely already there on the back end for that. You could quickly then find out who is shamelessly view botting within about five seconds and it would reveal all sorts of stats about various users and channels.
Site owners will never fucking implement any of that, because it would tell you exactly which owners are honest and which are scamming and I think almost all of them are faking their engagement to one degree or another.
I've ranted various times over the past 7 years about a better solution than unvetted equal voting; ranked Web of Trust is the closest thing to succinctly describe it. A combination of procrastination (and real-life obligations) and fear of "good enough" stagnation has paused me from working on it. I very much do not want to inadvertently contribute to a further intensifying of Eternal September. Not that I'm hiding my idea or convinced that it's especially novel, but I know that some contemptibly bourgeois urbanite jackass would hijack and butcher the concept for some soulless corporate offering if it saw modest success.
Need to do tedious research on reputation systems and related topics, too. Around March of next year I'll have much more free-time to tackle it.
I want a system that merges the pointless likes of twitter/facebook with votes and ranks like on stackexchange. That would be two different systems and the up/downvotes that most users do would have no moderating affect on the comment thread as a whole. Also no mods, just different ranks of users which grants different privileges.
Did you mean to add something else here?
Also what is view botting?
There are people out there who operate entire farms of fake accounts and use bots to fake how much engagement they're getting. This is why sometimes you get channels that have 100,000 views on a video for example and only about 10 people have commented. It's a very common problem on streaming sites too. I'm pretty convinced that nearly all sites allow bots to run rampant so that they can buff up their numbers in the rankings and make more money which is defrauding advertisers.
Stack overflow's baked in gamification (i.e. extrinsic value) is the one thing that's rubbed me the wrong way since I read the founders' blog posts c. 2010 or 2011. Prestige should be like getting a server-first in a WoW raid.
one thing discuss did right i would admit is they let you see just that who did what...
It's the Gamergate Github.
https://gitgud.io/users/sign_in has a description.
Oh yes they can and they will feign ignorance right up until it hits them in the face. And even so they might still do it.
I know someone real close to me, who was cancelled in her work environment (accused of being a racist for a harmless comment), and after a week of what seemed to be an awakening, she went back to her regular NPC programming.
That's amazing honestly lol
