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
