I recently some electronic I really liked that incorporated chiptune sounds into it but I can't remember what it was now

I know there's a bunch of stuff that does that

but I'm pretty sure this was something new (to me)

@LpSamuelm What about Modigs?

LpSamuelm

Why does everyone remember Seiklus so well, btw...?

@GnomeSlice Before that - I really enjoy Lucid Dream's mix of acoustic instruments and more typical electronica.

GnomeSlice

@LpSamuelm Phutureprimitive is pretty great.

I can give you a bunch of stuff kind of like that if you're interested.

LpSamuelm

@GnomeSlice Uh, no thanks, I'm good for now.

GnomeSlice

This one is a lot less on the electronic and more on the orchestration, but it's still fabulous alexroe.bandcamp.com/album/strings-of-time

LpSamuelm

@GnomeSlice Yes! YES! Wow, that's really cool.

GnomeSlice

00:02

@LpSamuelm Would you believe he's like 16

LpSamuelm

@GnomeSlice I need a .txt for this or something.

@GnomeSlice Who exactly?

GnomeSlice

@LpSamuelm Modigs

LpSamuelm

@GnomeSlice Maaaan. I should make something.

GnomeSlice

i'm trying to remember the name of Modigs' last album and I can't...

I wanted to buy it too

LpSamuelm

Dreamwalker's OST was composed by yogurtbox!? Maaaaan.

I am saddened that I've already shared the calculator unboxing video with you :(

@LpSamuelm too bad it's not a currency at all.

@badp True - would sure be nice if you could actually use it for anything other than drugs and other currencies.

@LpSamuelm You would be a fool for using it in any other way

Looks like he... took the album down?

;_; why

Torrent time I guess

Nooooo only one seeder...

@GnomeSlice I really like this pseudo-acoustic cover of Cave Story's main theme. brentalfloss.bandcamp.com/track/cave-story-without-lyrics

So. Good.

@GnomeSlice I really enjoy the small part with the extremely high-pitched chip violin - can't get enough of minor breaks from format.

@GnomeSlice That one's a classic.

@LpSamuelm I still have yet to listen to it, even though I've heard it's stellar.

LpSamuelm

@GnomeSlice nods in acknowledgement and approval

@GnomeSlice It is.

GnomeSlice

00:15

Have you listened to Roots, by Danimal Cannon?

LpSamuelm

@GnomeSlice You linked it to me tw- thrice now.

GnomeSlice

I did?

My bad.

This is one that I kind of wanted to go back to and make into a full epic track

But I didn't.

LpSamuelm

@GnomeSlice Reminds me of the beginning of FX4.

@GnomeSlice Huh. The entire profile is gone.

GnomeSlice

@LpSamuelm Yeah. :/

I just tweeted him.

He does mostly electronic stuff, like DnB and Dubstep

but with chip sounds splashed here and there

@LpSamuelm It's so good, isn't it?

I should drop a buck or two on it and add it to my collection.

LpSamuelm

@GnomeSlice Do it.

GnomeSlice

00:19

That's another thing I like about Bandcamp. They encourage you to support artists even if they offer stuff free

@LpSamuelm I gotta stop spending money for a while lol

Maybe though, it's damn good.

It's free though, so you should download it.

LpSamuelm

@GnomeSlice Does Bandcamp have a proper navigation system yet?

GnomeSlice

@LpSamuelm What do you mean?

Also, dinner time.

LpSamuelm

@GnomeSlice Like, store platform. Searching for stuff and the like.

@GnomeSlice Have it so dinner.

GnomeSlice

@LpSamuelm Oh, yeah I think so

Tim Stone

@spugsley And yet you presumably still would not be talked into wearing that Miss USA cultural costume.

@LpSamuelm Hard numbers that can't be provided by anyone but the platform publishers.

Which won't give it out.

@TimStone no amount of Nyquil could accomplish that

fbueckert

It's the exact same as "Why did they design it that way?" type of questions.

LpSamuelm

@fbueckert Desura actually has it quite open for every dev account. The other ones, though, have to be second-hand accounts. Still doesn't make it opinion-based.

@fbueckert But sure, I'll let your rep speak for you in this case.

RedRiderX

@RonanForman Hey, this is like, cool.

fbueckert

01:22

@LpSamuelm If they all take the same cut, which one to buy it from is opinion-based. Yeah, not a good option to choose, but I can see why it was chosen.

user20683

I'd choose "Too Broad" because you'd need to know all possible platforms to pick the best.

LpSamuelm

@fbueckert Then maybe re-word the question to ask how much of the proceedings a specific set of platforms take? Maybe that'd be too radical.

fbueckert

@LpSamuelm Still not good. Desura is open. Everything else is hearsay.

LpSamuelm

@fbueckert Extraordinarily well corroborated hearsay.

fbueckert

@LpSamuelm Still hearsay.

@fbueckert There are other factors. Desura and IndieGameStand offer third party keys for other services as well, for example.

Sigh. Seems trustworthy enough, but without official word I guess it'd be unanswerable.

RedRiderX

Hmm.

Sterno

Avadon 2 or Desktop Dungeons? Decisions, decisions.

RedRiderX

Should I start watching Babylon 5?

Sterno

@RedRiderX No.

Don't listen to any other answer.

RedRiderX

@Sterno Oh.

Okay. :P

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX YES

RedRiderX

What sci-fi should I watch?

Sterno

Wait, wait

Do you like things that suck?

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX BABYLON 5

Sterno

If so, Babylon 5 would be okay I guess.

GnomeSlice

@Sterno ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

RedRiderX

@Sterno Hmm.

I watched all of the last 3 years of DW.

user20683

01:28

Babylon 5 is an amazing show. It's also loved by two mods who hang out in here...

Sterno

If you ever watched Smallville and thought to yourself, "Man, I need a show of about this quality but with worse special effects and set in space", Babylon 5 is for you.

GnomeSlice

@WorldEngineer Also me.

RedRiderX

Heroes?

LpSamuelm

Okay, so apparently at least Steam seems to have it under NDA. Sigh.

GnomeSlice

@Sterno I HATE YOU

user20683

@RedRiderX beginning heroes is good

Sterno

@GnomeSlice :)

user20683

it suffers from Enterprise Syndrome pretty rapidly

Sterno

If you want science fiction, watch Fringe.

RedRiderX

@WorldEngineer ?

Sterno

If you want SPAAAAACE, watch Firefly

RedRiderX

01:30

@Sterno I remember hearing about that...

user20683

@RedRiderX there was a writers strike

user20683

things didn't recover

RedRiderX

@WorldEngineer Ah okay.

user20683

so they hit bottom, clawed their way to something halfway okay and then died

user20683

just like Enterprise

user20683

01:30

Farscape is good

Sterno

The first two seasons of Farscape are good.

user20683

Battlestar Galactica the second

Sterno

Three is mediocre and four is terribad.

user20683

yeah, it also suffers from the "gets weird" problem

RedRiderX

SG-1?

Sterno

01:31

And the TV movie is... I don't even know what you call it that far down the scale.

RedRiderX

Should I start with that?

I know 0 Stargate.

Sterno

An awesome thing SG-1 has going for it is a shit ton of episodes

Unfortunately only about 30% are entertaining

user20683

@RedRiderX solid choice for the first chunk, gets...weird about halfway through

Sterno

But between all it's incarnations it has what... like 16 seasons?

user20683

they run into the WoW problem, running out of lore enemies

user20683

01:32

yeah

user20683

let's see

user20683

I think SG-1 had 10 and Atlantis had 5

Sterno

17 then

Plus a few movies

RedRiderX

Old ThunderBirds stuff?

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Stargate is a good one to go with.

RedRiderX

01:33

Like the 60's stuff.

Sterno

I think we all agreed on Stargate.

user20683

@RedRiderX UFO is good from that standpoint

Sterno

It's not super awesome but it's generally not offensively bad

user20683

Blake's Seven is good

kalina

@RedRiderX seasons 1-5, 7 are good

Sterno

01:34

I like that last season or two of SG-1 when they basically act like they're on a TV show and can never die

Ullallulloo

@RedRiderX SG-1's first chronologically

kalina

first few seasons and the last episode of atlantis was good

user20683

@kalina I'll generally agree with that

RedRiderX

@Ullallulloo I had hoped.

kalina

universe was good but cut short

RedRiderX

01:35

Or else stuff would seem very strange...

Ullallulloo

Until Atlantis starts, then they run side-by-side until SG-1 ends.

Sterno

"Oh, we're kidnapped again and about to be tortured to death... gee, how will we ever get out of this? fake gasp OH NO!" 8 seconds later beamed out by random aliens that show up

kalina

@RedRiderX Stargate movie -> SG1 to the end of season 7, and then watch SG1 s8-10 alongside atlantis

GnomeSlice

I watched SG-U recently and I really enjoyed it.

Shame it ended so soon...

kalina

the movie provides a lot of detail that will make season 1 of SG1 make a lot more sense

GnomeSlice

01:36

@RedRiderX I also recommend:

Defying Gravity (TV series)

Defying Gravity is a multi-nationally produced space travel television science fiction drama series which first aired on August 2, 2009 on ABC and CTV and was canceled in the autumn (September/October) of 2009. Set in the year 2052, the series follows eight astronauts (four women and four men) from four countries on a six-year space mission through the Solar System, during which they are monitored from Earth via a real-time communication system. The series was pitched to networks as "Grey's Anatomy in space". Thirteen episodes of the series were produced before it was cancelled, only eig...

RedRiderX

@kalina Yeah SG and BSG being just huge things to even start is one issue.

GnomeSlice

Another one that ended prematurely though...

user20683

@GnomeSlice yeah...that one still makes me angry.

Sterno

@GnomeSlice I liked it but I wouldn't recommend a show cancelled after like 8 eps and without ever getting around to its mystery

GnomeSlice

It only went for like a single season.

kalina

01:36

@RedRiderX as long as you watch the movie first, you'll have all of the ground work to make sense of sg1

GnomeSlice

@WorldEngineer It was just starting to get interesting with the artifacts too...

user20683

it was actually good but they cancelled it before it aired...because ABC had to outdo FOX somehow

user20683

@GnomeSlice yeah, agreed. It was like the good parts of 2001 in a lot of ways.

Sterno

Fun drinking game: Do a shot every time you hear someone in the Stargate movie chamber a round in their already-loaded weapon.

Ullallulloo

@kalina This is right. The movie's optional though. You'll feel a little lost at times without it, but it has different actors

user20683

01:37

they needed less melodrama but that aside it's good

Ullallulloo

I've never seen it though, so I'm not in a good spot to comment on it.

kalina

@Ullallulloo yeah it covers all of the basic mechanics though

RedRiderX

@kalina Like this one?

Stargate (film)

Stargate (French: Stargate, la porte des étoiles) is a 1994 American-French science fiction film released through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and Carolco Pictures. Created by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, the film is the first release in the Stargate franchise. Directed by Roland Emmerich, the film stars Kurt Russell, James Spader, Jaye Davidson, Carlos Lauchu, Djimon Hounsou, Erick Avari, Alexis Cruz, Mili Avital, John Diehl, French Stewart, and Viveca Lindfors. The plot centers around the premise of a "Stargate", an ancient ring-shaped device that creates a wormhole enabling travel to...

kalina

the switch in actors is a bit weird but it happens

@RedRiderX yes

then, once you finish watching SG1

GnomeSlice

@WorldEngineer I dunno, I thought it was presented pretty well. It was a lot more introspective than most Sci Fi

kalina

01:38

there are two more movies to watch

you need to watch Ark of Truth after finishing season 10 of SG1

user20683

Movie has some differences and there are some retcons like the nature of the Goa'uld but that aside it was solid.

kalina

since it finishes the story

user20683

Also James Spader and Kurt Russell are always fun to watch.

GnomeSlice

I need to watch the rest of the B5 movies

Sterno

No one ever needs to watch the B5 movies

kalina

01:38

@WorldEngineer plus episode 200 of sg1 has callbacks to the movies with wormhole xtreme

Sterno

Or that terrible ranger spin-off thing

user20683

Warehouse 13 is fun for the first few seasons

RedRiderX

@kalina Oh my...

kalina

@RedRiderX Stargate Continuum is just fanservice really

Sterno

It makes me sad that SyFy Channel doesn't have any sci-fi anymore.

kalina

01:39

but Ark of Truth finishes the story

GnomeSlice

@Sterno Falling Skies is back, isn't it?

Still waiting for Defiance to come back too.

Sterno

@GnomeSlice TNT

GnomeSlice

@Sterno Oh...

Sterno

Oh, right, Defiance.

But they do have it.

GnomeSlice

GnomeSlice

@Sterno Eh, it was alright.

RedRiderX

@RedRiderX the first ~8 seasons of SG1 are very heavy on Egyptian mythology so if you're into that it's a bonus

GnomeSlice

I also seem to recall Gene Roddenberry said it was the closest to his original vision of the series.

@AshleyNunn None of them are really tied to one another, just pick one and see what you think. You don't even really have to start at the beginning either, except in Enterprise.

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Nah, it's boring

user15026

Well, that's good at least. It just seems like there is so much of it and so much story and so much commitment

@RedRiderX I would also recommend Stargate: Universe. It's fairly good even if you don't know much about the SG franchise.

@AshleyNunn DS9 is the only Trek worth watching unless you are into Star Trek.

It's the only one that did anything interesting with the whole universe.

(Also, it's fun to watch it with an understanding that it was on at the same time as babylon 5 and the two shows liberally cribbed from each other because they had eerily similar premises.)

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I am well aware of that kerfuffle

user15026

(Being a pretty huge B5 fan)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn tbqh, both shows are better for it, so it's more an interesting thing to know while watching than it is a thing to get angry about, IMO.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, that was the attitude I took. It helps that I watched b5 for the first time long after it originally aired, so I just appreciated it for what it was
