It's a remix from kwed. Larry, you played this on VGF 20 years ago, and linked it in the show notes. The link is still active. I found this doing a forum search for the phrase "noisy pillars"

Absolutely beautiful. Also incredible restraint in not just going full on Song of Storms here, hahaha.

Folks, we are getting things started THIS FRIDAY on MARCH 21st. Make sure you HOP ON THE OCR DISCORD and join the GSM3 channel so you can take part. This compo is primarily being run on the OCR Discord, so you need to be on there to participate.

OC Records is defunct now. We still sell some older albums on Bandcamp but we don't publish new work.

Love this game, and the OST is one I come back to quite often. The arrangement here is good, but the slow string articulations are killing this for me. You've setup a monstrous task for yourself: doing a straight sequenced orchestral version of a piece that uses live orchestra. In that comparison, it's absolutely going to sound lacking. Not that it can't be done but even on its own the production of this feels flat. It doesn't feel expressive. I think the Js all made some pretty thoughtful comments and I'm gonna come down on the side of the NOs. This is a valiant effort and I think with a focused approach to articulations, you could give this one a kick in the pants. NO, resub

Metroid Fusion rules. (Love this mix.)

Hey just so you know, this whole "they don't care about privacy anymore" is 100% fucking nonsense. Mozilla does not say that they can use your data however they want. This is also part of the terms of literally any site you upload anything to; the service needs to say "you grant us the right to do things with your work so that our service can actually function." For example: uploading a picture to Bluesky? Bluesky asserts the right to transform your work so that they can generate a thumbnail of the picture you uploaded. That's what these terms always mean. It's never about a service or a piece of software asserting ownership of your data. It's about you granting them a baseline level of permissions so that they can actually do the things you need them to do with the data you give them. This type of "company is stealing your work" scaremongering makes the rounds every few months in art communities and every single time someone has to clarify that companies are not stealing your work. Mozilla is not claiming ownership of your work. Mozilla is not throwing privacy to the winds. Instead of watching a clickbait video that perpetuates the same stupid misunderstandings, maybe go directly to the source and actually read what Mozilla has to say about it? Also, Brave is the second-to-last browser you should be using (behind Chrome). Brave has engaged with scummy shit such as: Replacing ads on pages with its own ads and taking a cut Putting their own affiliate links in search suggestions Installing a VPN on Windows without notifying users Numerous partnerships with cryptocurrency firms If you want a reliable browser that's not Firefox, there are plenty of options like Orion, Waterfox, Ungoogled Chromium, Arc, etc. Brave is not it. EDIT: But also just keep using Firefox.
