Sorry Mark, we haven't do anything with badge customization (yet). Can look into it though. Welcome back though! Nice to see you. I actually was just listening to Star Orion (Airplay Edit) the other day while hanging out with my wife and son. Wife was like "what is this!? this is great!!" and we threw on Shattered Time on your bandcamp page and had that playing all day.

DarkeSword replied to Liontamer's topic in Judges Decisions
NO Override for the reasons Brad stated above. Not a remix at all. This is a playlist of tracks from the OST. -

The skill pages referenced a specific database view that broke after we made some changes to the user's profile fields. I've rebuilt the view to ignore those fields. The skill pages now work again.

OCRC-0001 - For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man!
DarkeSword replied to DarkeSword's topic in Album Reviews & Comments
You can always download DRM-free MP3s from Amazon. This album is also not an indie-album, there were very specific terms we had to abide by because this album was done in collaboration with Capcom. Bandcamp doesn’t support region restrictions, which was one of their requirements, so we could not put it on Bandcamp, despite it being one of the first things we investigated. -

OCR01292 - Shivers "Cerebral Rose Jam"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is a thoughtful blend of middle-eastern aesthetics with a jazzier piano. Really pensive work. Incredibly relaxing. Absolute masterpiece. -
OCR00993 - Streets of Rage "Trippin' on the Bridge"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Used to listen to this one constantly. Just a classic. Love the filtered lead and that iconic string. A personal favorite. -
OCR01648 - Cool Spot "OverClocked Spot"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Really great contrast here between the smooth and crushed textures. Really strong here. The contour of the energy in this track is really good. There's a lightness you're playing with here. Really nice. -
OCR01726 - Chrono Trigger "Aqueous Transgression"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
You know how I love a time signature adaptation. This is such a killer track. That bassline just moves. Incredible sound design all around too. Not a single sound feels out of place; really well put together. -
OCR01325 - Kingdom Hearts "New Beginnings"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
TBH I'm not sure how I feel about the more relaxed energy on this one. There's a lightness to the source that I really liked, but there's a bit more heaviness on this one in texture. Some nice sounds though. -
OCR01724 - Metal Gear "Snake's Revenge"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Just really solid guitar work on display here. Fantastic dynamics on this one. Love that part in the middle where the energy comes down a bit. Guitar solo is killer, tasteful use of vox. Really great. -
OCR01679 - Revolution X "Music Is a Weapon"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Haven't heard this one in a really long time, TBH I actually really love how much the texture of this sounds like it's the OST of a Neo Geo game, especially with that announcer at the beginning. Super high energy. Really fun. -
The Old Fogies From UnMod Thread
DarkeSword replied to Bagel Fuzzynuts's topic in General Discussion
Saw plenty of instances back in the day where the tribalism was real. People got super weird about unmod vs. gendisc stuff. -
It's a solid, by-the-book trance mix that I think really leans into the strengths of the source. Really enjoyed the panning in that breakbeat section. Nothing groundbreaking but if you're in the mood for trance you can't go wrong here. :)

OCR00914 - Red Alarm "Red Dimension"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
That arpeggiator is doing the work, damn. Great use of panning and stereo space. Love the textures here. The half time section HITS. Really glad to rediscover this one. :) -
OCR00682 - Sonic Adventure "Taikal Drum 'n' Ragga"
DarkeSword replied to m68030's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
An old school track in texture for sure. Synthy sitar noodles a bit but that filtered breakbeat is killer. Really liked the groove here. CLASSIC!! -
The Old Fogies From UnMod Thread
DarkeSword replied to Bagel Fuzzynuts's topic in General Discussion
It was extremely weird and, TBH cringey, how tribal people got about that shit back then. -
