Casually checking an old game music site I used to visit, see the latest news about "Regarding Recent Technology Advancements"
https://ocremix.org/community/topic/53443-regarding-recent-technology-advancements
hmmmm hope it is what I think it is...
> Starting today, the sharing of music generated by feeding a prompt into AI-software is prohibited on OC ReMix
👏 👏 👏
They explain their reasons, I am glad to see such takes.
@falktx i mean i’m not bitter, one of my homies got published one of their ff8 cds, but they’re far from a bastion of avant-garde creativity or daring needle drops lol
@woof its a community that I am glad still exists. poor VGMix really tried to keep going even a 2nd time but failed.
on the age of web service centralization, projects like ocremix and even qhimm forums make me glad that some still care about maintaining such communities active
@falktx yeah i remember that vgmix site trying to cling to life for years but jake was too busy with his legit career lol.
but i feel ocremix have really failed to remain culturally relevant i feel. it’s all clinging to a specific turn-of-century era, with judges who have no ear for anything a bit hip hop / industrial / avant garde / etc.
thankfully nowadays they don’t really can gatekeep visibility anymore
@falktx now imagine if they ever published anything from a game that’s not a 90s ps1 jrpg lol
like lmao:
