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!
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 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.
