Ah so hello again. theres so much going through my life and i cant keep a focus, unfortunately, i have dropped NG, DeviantArt, and Twitter (should be a good news i guess) as my active spaces. Every Discord server is like joining a different website with all its different subcultures. Since 2021 and reviving my old Discord account, I used to be active in mostly music and arts related servers; a bit overwhelming so i decided to lay low on websites like Newgrounds.

Now i mostly reside in a -- yeah -- a 'tiny bit' chaotic place called... the Waterflame discord server. I ""hate"" every strand of my existence in that server for having 25,000 messages sent in 3 months last 2021, the stupid stuff I've done and I've been part of, and chatting 12 hours a day last year mostly about absolute nonsense and doing absolute nonsense, like: an admin, the moderators and regulars hanging out in the voice chat both deafened and muted for no reason and doing nothing, and laughing our asses off as why are we doing this. As of writing this, I am a part of the moderation team, and because of my time zone, I'm alive and monitoring when every other admin or mod is asleep or busy (I swear to god how many people think getting promoted to a moderator is like getting a badge or a trophy)

As for winning in the contest: I am an LMMS user (honestly, still, somewhat a bit embarrassed admitting I do) and the developers hold a yearly contest where you simply submit a song made from that near dilapidated DAW, called Best of LMMS (abbr. to "BoL"). I was submitting since 2018 and did never get into half places, nor close to rank 50 with all my very stupid mixing, melody structure, sound design etc. All the songs in winning places are so amazing! Some of the highest ranked songs sounds professionally produced. I wished I could get as better as the ones at least in 30th places. For last year, I got 24th place with Adventure Booze, and this year, third place out of estimated 145 submissions with Along the Ridge, which is among my lowest rated songs and my least popular here, but it excelled in other places and was praised by some of my online acquaintances.

They already released the entire album with other amazing songs in pay what you want cost :D

(go to section 4)

Extremely dumb bill with vague wording and worse consequences. Who agrees to this aside from boomers?

I will NEVER tie my VortexSupernova moniker to my real sensitive information such as my Real Name

If this law passed and I have to put my name, phone number and other sensitive data to all my social media accounts, a death to the VortexSupernova moniker and my soc med accounts (2015-2022). I am not doing any crimes or atrocities, which the bill originally intended to, to prevent cybercriminal activities. I am only using this name to post art and music I made, and I would never do such attached to the username I've embraced which I built its own personality and an identity around it for a span of seven years since I was in 7th to 8th grade. I had to do this because I want a complete separation of my hobby, digital and in real life connections (my online friends that don't need to know my family issues, sharing surrealist memes that my age group gets and I talk to which are from other countries, fellow digital artists I met online that my in real life connections nobody would care about, etc.) and privacy to prevent getting stalked or people knowing where exactly I am, or using this information to destroy me or people I surround. In these current times, it's more dangerous: just because simply they found my old posts I made when I was a child and the horrible wording and grammar CAN be taken out of context for those who wish to destroy me, or did not agree to my opinion in Twitter for saying any opinion.

Aside from this, I was thinking of cutting ties with any of my online friends if it means to use any of my sensitive data, which I find unacceptable and painful; I have built a fort of friendship along with my friends on a popular Newgrounds musician's community, where most of my closest friends are (although not a really big fan and friendship was more of a goal than his fanbase's following) and it hurts witnessing myself deviating away from them just to protect my privacy and my life because of this stupid bill.

In the glimmer of hope,

"The Act also cannot penalize existing accounts with fictitious names and those created in other countries."

but I may have to abandon to be safe.

i dont have the motivation to draw unless its for the 4 Discord servers I'm on

im now obliged to be reminded every 69 seconds that a drawing of catboy Watewfwame UwU senpai 😳☺ exist.

Please pass the damn bleach

Oh yes XD I'm at the PC rn. So I just want to say I'm busy with school nowadays, and I spend most of the time with Discord on a few music and art communities. I have deleted the browser data of my phone to free up space since I record something with my phone for school. Ah, anyways, thanks for using my art on AIM submissions :D

I hope I could add more text but its exactly 3 am right now 👌

Update to: https://vortexsupernova.newgrounds.com/news/post/1155536

Yearly, LMMS community has a tradition to make a yearly contest called "The Best of LMMS" which showcases the songs in the results using "the most ambitious DAW ever coded /s" -Lost Robot, developer

Out of the more than 200 submissions, less than 30 are chosen (25, the few others are honorable mentions)

And I am of them but

bruh, 24th place XD

Thanks to @RealGDJK for the ping, I was drawing and I forgot the results due in 1 day but I didn't care because I didn't expect it'll go through. I was confuzzled when I saw that lmao, the newer submissions are way more impressive than the previous years, and the judging has to go brrrrrrrr.

I forgot to say this: congratulations for the winners but also, congratulations to all who participated and learned from others and their own mistakes

I didn't expect to win or even belong in preliminaries, honestly the mixing is still unfinished because the entirety of the song has to be finished in 1 week and I'm still on school, but I got to make it through the 2 contests this song as been to:

Art Union (which it lost) and Best of LMMS

Last January, I got my song Serenade no.1 to Newgrounds frontpaged audio:

At the Production text channel of LMMS community Discord, I posted a few songs where some people find impressive. Hmm, my mind was set to few years ago and did not notice at all I was at a great growth starting this year. I'm perplexed when people find my stuff good. Well, I think, I need a reality check.

This is the song btw

I'm disappointed this got lesser views AND rating than the pre-master one ex dee

Remastered Adventure Booze, now wit moar bass and some cute vocal chops, better mixing:

Also,

havent uploaded yet my losing piece on Best of LMMS

it's due in almost a day

I'll submit mine tomorrow at April 4

Yes it's my losing piece xD I'm not that great at making music

EDIT: HOLY SHIT ITS NOT I GOT 20+TH PLACE OUT OF 200~ SUBMISSIONS

Worked on this for 2 weeks straight for a contest. Hope you like it!
