► BEST OF CHIPTUNE JANUARY 2022 ◄ ~(￣▽￣)~

Listening to chiptunes always reminds me how the coders of old managed to do so much with so little.

This is the kind of genre that just doesn't emit any kind of negativity at all. It's nostalgic, uplifting, and can only bring out the best of moods for the listener. Very awesome compilation - thank you for posting it.

I struggle to put into words how these chiptunes make me feel. You're an excellent curator. I feel like you should run a late night radio station that only musical super-nerds listen to.

[@stewievengeance]

It's always hard to put certain feelings into words, especially when you feel it needs to be explained in deep detail to even hope of getting the point across to the person or persons, simply so they can feel what you do. But this stuff makes me feel nostalgic as hell for stuff like golden sun or pokemon mystery dungeon, donkey kong country, older zeldas like LTTP or the oracle series, or shovel knight (even though that one is way newer)

[@Doubleaa500]

@@stewievengeance I didn't play too much of these kind of games, but I remember so much Dragon ball Z on game boy advance Buu's Fury!! It the adventure and action and immersion and story like you have a whole world to explore at your fingers!! You get sucked in and you become the hero!!!

Seeing this video in my subscription feed was like opening the mailbox and finding a letter from an old friend. I nearly cried when I pressed play and heard the first few strains of the music begin. Then I smiled and rocked out. There are so many wonderful artists whose work I only know because you make and share these compilations. I’ll always be grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@Catonzo]

@@randomcookie2706Likely has heard it before, without realizing it is actually a genre now. Back in the day it used to be the way music was made for games (more chiptune, less sampling obviously), so I would not blame someone who did not play games back then OR is younger to not recognize this as a stylistic choice in some cases as well and as such a "genre".

[@victorribeiro6772]

Its Music that had to fit in a tiny space, simple instruments created, a unique style, putting voice in there is a bit incorrect.

Honestly, this genre is so retro and yet it sounds like it would fit in perfectly in a scifi world. This is something I can imagine myself listening to while walking through a dark narrow alleyway between 2 massive skyscrapers, lit up by neon lights

[@yikesmoment01]

I just wanna comment on "if we ever gonna reach there" the fact that we currently have technology that people in even (for example) the Renaissance implies that we have, in fact reached there, and unless some mass extinction event (like your message may imply) we'll continue going "there" until we run out of new things to invent (if such a thing is possible) a "future sci-fi world" is too vague to really have any meaning.

[@remrem-gx3ml]

we will. when i was born the internet didnt exist. since then almost every single tech from sci fi has become reality. robot? yep. cyborgs? fuck yeah. ai? yup. SONIC RESONANT LEVITATION? yup. INVISIBILTY TECH. yup. clothes that hide you from cameras, lasers, lightsabers all exist. were there just a bit farther to go now and its the beginning of the space age. hell a dude in japan even built a fucking gundam.

I don't see enough she in mixes! So glad to see them represented here! Amazing artist, and I recommend everyone check out their whole backlog if you haven't already =D

[@TalasDS]

The thing with she is that all of her albums sound like the same. Maybe with the exception of electric girl, which I consider quite unique. It's a great artist, yes, but honestly I consider It's not something for everyone.

[@KuroKitten]

​@@TalasDS Personally, I find she's style and sound really unique compared to a lot of other artists. I've struggled to find anyone else who sounds quite the same, so I'm glad that she has a lot of songs to listen to in that style.

@@networknomad5600 I never said otherwise... What I said, was that I found she's style of music unique when compared to a lot of *other* artists. I happen to like how she sounds quite a lot, and I haven't found another artist who replicates that same feel. So to me, it's a great thing that she's portfolio has so much music in that same style, because I don't really know anywhere else I can go to get that.

[@paulblart7378]

@@fishmonger__ We kind of are... you never see pixel art in most games anymore, with the exception of indie games. I don't like the reputation of games that large game companies are giving people. Their games have insanely realistic graphics and yet provide much less of an experience than indie games with lesser graphics. I know plenty of people who won't even touch games without 4k graphics. They call themselves gamers and only play the overused stereotypical genre of fighting/FPS games with cutting-edge graphics. Not to say that there aren't good modern games, but lots of good-looking trash overshadows the mediocre-looking masterpieces
