Looks Like We're Going Down

By TurtwigX on January 18, 2026 6:04 pm

After MAGFest I got incredibly ill. I had dozens of ideas but didn't act on any of them because I was immobilized for like 3 straight days. So instead I wrote this in a few hours earlier today about being sick. I wanted to slam as many unpleasant sounds together as possible, but still kinda wanted to make it groove. I hope it makes you feel as gross as I did, or maybe I hope it makes you feel like you can defeat the grossness. Either way, here it is!

Wah this is NG pocket?! I knew that it could do sample playback, but that crazy AY style pulse envelope trick?! This is sick, but hope you do not stay so for long.

Great job striking a tone somewhere between anxious and whimsical! You say unpleasant but I'm digging your sound selection here. big_smile

Thankfully I'm almost entirely better. It had me for a while though! I've been DETERMINED to explore as many new chips as possible and TWO sample channels alongside an improved SN7 was something too good to ignore.

Thanks! I was really inspired by Plague Knight (staying very on theme here) and I chose the bass sample because it sounded really "phlegmy"
