What is this terrible update you speak of

[patricia-taxxon]

my favorite track on every TECHDOG

Track 10. I like how it sounds chaotic but then I slowly reveal that it was in 4/4 all along.

Track 7. This is where the "pop IDM" vision was strongest, I like the prog house plucks that sound like rain combined with drums that sound like thunder

This one's hard, cus it's my favorite lightmode techdog, but I think I'm gonna go with track 7. It's the most dense moment on the album but it sounds so goofy and carefree.

Track 4, it's the only one I didn't revise like 10 times.

Another hard pick, it's overall the strongest part IMO, but I really like track 8. I had that one squelchy 5:3 texture and I just kinda decided against putting anything else there, making you sit in the belly of the beast for 10 minutes. It's the one part that sounds properly scary.

This album isn't my favorite part as a whole, but track 10 is my favorite track in the entire project. I like how it sounds like badly recorded deep sea creatures. I love the horrifying throaty leviathan noises, it's like they're chasing you out of the album into the open air of the closer.

Track 5, easy. I exercised so much restraint by having that little piano moment only happen once, and it paid off. The opening tracks of techdog 7 feel like pulling your body back from the void and on track 5 you open your eyes again for the first time. I agonized over the structure/progression of 7 and I'm proud of how it turned out.

they really want that chinese playerbase money huh?

I mean they are a business, can't fault them for trying to get money

...but I can still give them shit for it (what you afraid of hurting someone's feeling? it's a business, it doesn't have feelings )

like y'all trying to get that Wuthering Waves money

like I've heard people say they want more furries, more fat girls, more melanin... and dislyte ass wasn't listening to none of that

maybe we'll get something nice for Halloween

we seriously getting Alt Saber Li Ling before a Korean Legendary?

why is design team struggling this much to make a bird furry? like everytime a bird esper shows up they're bit more bird like... but they're still holding back for some reason. It's gonna be like 2050 before they just give us an bird man

neat lightmode skin Yun Chuan

holy shit is that au pinkie pie?

...

but for real what's going on? like we already had Chinese Espers (we ended 2023 with chinese story, we started 2024 with chinese story then we had a 4 parter chinese story arc) and then Mesopotamian Espers 4 part story arc. It's clearly suppose to be someone else turn. Why are we already back at Chinese so soon?

inb4 discord lightmode post

yes yes anyway i want to talk about lesbians

i want to talk about my sweet little marinette who's a high femme and ridiculous about it and she's always got the most pretty nails and whatever and kagami is absolutely devastated to know that now that they're together, kagami has to cook dinner.

because kagami is richer than god, richer than gabriel; the tsurugi family has been around since hell started and ever since she's been conscient, she has never stepped foot in the kitchen. but marinette isn't like that, no, she cooks? she makes food and bakes (she loves baking, loves sugar and loves sweets and loves licking caramel off of kagami's skin and — fuck—) so what is a girl to do? she's the most useless lesbian, after all.

kagami panics and every time it's her turn to make dinner, she hires a personal chef to come over and cook something instead.

marinette adores the food, chittering about how her girlfriend is so skilled, so amazing, wow mimi you really are such a steal, aren't you? you know how to cook, you know how to strap me, i'm in heaven! please marry me for the rest of my life? pretty please? and kagami sinks more and more and more in embarassment and disappointment with herself with what she's doing.

she feels awful.

until one day, marinette comes from the NICU just a smidge earlier than usual. a few hours. there's a random person in her house and she's confused and horrified when kagami looks even more clammed up than usual. the chef leaves. marinette is trying to process this. it's not going well. marinette assumes the worst— is kagami cheating on her?!— meanwhile kagami is trying to find a way to admit that she's been having someone cook them dinner for months, now.

kagami finally admitting it is the hardest thing in the world.

turn OFF LIGHTMODE YOUQEIRDO

[wandasaura]

Oh wait nvm. I misread your anon list. I should probably turn my phone brightness up just a tiny bit. - 🥷

im scared of people who don’t use lightmode and full brightness at all times

[invertedaquariumperson]

i think to rarely people ask themselves the question of whether they should be using dark mode, or using lightmode with the brightness turned way down.

The original chart for TECHDOG before I even made any of the tracks was basically:

TECHDOG 1: Cute, simple, blunt

TECHDOG 2: Pop, dance, synth

TECHDOG 3: Chill, liquid, downtempo

TECHDOG 4: Dense, bright, Yes And, bliss point before the fall

TECHDOG 5: Spooky

TECHDOG 6: Noise

TECHDOG 7: Empty

Techdog 2 ended up being a lot weirder and more deconstructed sounding than I intended, especially near the end. Techdog 3 just is not even close to what I charted out, lol, its just goofy and fun. It's my favorite lightmode dog though, it feels like watching a thermometer rise until 4 hits. Overall though, the final product ended up surprisingly close to this initial chart.

Techdog 4 took the longest out of any part by far and I was incredibly burnt out after I finished it & realized there were 3 albums left, might be why I don't like it as much. Turns out that making every track into a maximally dense glittering pile of percussion with a very precise emotional aim is quite time consuming, it thoroughly broke the one-track-a-day rhythm I had going and I never quite got back on track. I went into 5 and 6 knowing I needed to take a far broader and more creatively permissive approach or else this thing would never release, so 5 was simply spooky and 6 was simply noise. I feel far more fondly towards those, the darkmode bit is my favorite of the album's 3 acts by a lot, and is where I feel the project really gets good.

keep this in mind if u want to make a 12 hour long album, i guess. do it in order, let it take u by the balls, minimize revisions even more than you normally would. Making TECHDOG was an exercise in murdering my perfectionism lest it never be released at all.

[bird-of-no-feathers]

i go out of my way to use lightmode on most services now not because i actually enjoy it but because it pisses some people off hard. i do it out of spite.

i do this mainly because of discord. listen. discord dark mode. get a different fucking shade of grey. your current one makes my brain fuzz out.

so naturally i switched to light mode as the only alternative. and then i opened discord to show my friend something and she was like "YOU USE LIGHTMODE???? YOU'RE SUCH A LOSER."

and i was like ok weird. strange. whatever.

but every time i screenshotted something from discord to like a group chat or something i'd get dogpiled for using lightmode. now even though i got a new device with less wack saturation (which turned out to be the issue sorry discord not 100% your fault) i still have it set to light mode.

that is to say i still use light mode on discord because of a really convoluted series of events that is really funny in retrospect.
