(Ummm I might have a nightcore engraved ipod:dunno:smile:
Back in the yonder days of 2012-2015 I was SUPER into Nightcore - For those of you who dont know; Nightcore was a dumb youtube trend where you sped up a song by 25% and uploaded it with an anime picture ANYWAY; I am creating this thread for anyone who would like to remember nightcore and share their experiences!
I even had a few (unsuccessful) nightcore channels, so I thought Id share some my favourite uploads here!

Iv been listening to The Shadow today and it really reminded me how much I used to like listening to late night radio stories my dad would put on AM radio at night to stop the house getting lonely. Also for anyone whos like.. too young.. There used to be like fiction TV series.. but on the radio :omg:k: Do you know any, do you like any??
Some that people might enjoy!
The Shadow episode 1 (1937) Action; Superhero "The Shadow" fights mobsters using magic powers he learned in India?
The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy episode 1 (197:cool: (Click to get the full playlist) Sci-Fi Comedy; A man explores the galaxy after earth is destroyed to make way for a space highway.
This probably deserves a longer topic, but Iv been messing around with Nvidias 3D rendering system recently and figured Id share it here for anyone interested!
This is a render I made of my dad while he was sitting in a local cafe. It has a mesh overlay to make it more obscure and arty; the meshes can be exported as 3D models, but the detailed textures you seen in the background cannot which is a bit of a pain. That said, Im working on an arts project atm and im super pleased with this process and will prob include a few of these renders
The project itself is a bit of a chore to setup; its open source but you need an Nvidia GPU in your computer and you need to compile the project from source: There is a pretty good tutorial here: https://github.com/bycloudai/instant-ngp-Windows
Watch the video they link at the top; just install everything (Also install GIT they forget that) and follow the steps; and when it asks for a data set; you literally just take about 20-100 photos of the thing you want to make a 3d model of, from different angles; thats your data set; pop it in and bobs your uncle! (The images don't need to align like a panorama; it will figure out the connections between objects! Make sure to resize images to about 1000px or it'll be really slow)
Im amazed no one has made this thread yet, its about time!
Im always fascinated to see how people setup their workspaces, particularly when those spaces are really important to them. Desk roasting videos on YouTube are great, but an old school forum thread seems fitting too.
What do you value in a desk setup? What makes you feel at home?
I think for me.. having a cozy space is the most important thing, its got to feel like a safe corner of the world where you can be yourself; though often thats hard to create :-S
Iv gone through like.. 4 desks in different places in the last 2 years; here is my current setup, its only temporary so its not very exciting; but I made it out of a door I..errr unscrewwed from its doorframe in another room
Im not sure if post-digital is the right term; or maybe it should be like.. digi-analog? ANYWAY, its a focus on design that is not fully digital but is intended to be used in a digital world.
One example I came across today is this nixie clock on Techmoan (skip to 6 mins to actually seeee it)
The clock is very analogue; but it also has Wifi and GPS features. Im always interested by things that combine opposites and create unusual new hybrids. However there are plenty of pros and cons; the biggest con in my mind is always practicality; Im always conflicted by practicality, aesthetics and the personal philosophies I have related to both.
What are your thoughts on post-digital design and how do you think it could/couldn't fit into your life as an enthusiast of unusual counter culture things (if you're on this forum I assume you are that :tongue:)
I was sure someone was doing a halloween competition already, but I cant find it, so Im running my own lil contest!! This is a casual award for the spookiest webpages around; no need to feel stressed, if you have a spooky webpage of even a page with spooky gifs you should enter!
Now closed thanks for entering!
How to Enter: Simple! However there are a few rules!
You may nominate up to 2 webpages (single pages not whole sites; so your 2 fav pages if you have a whole site).
Webpages must be made by you; or be fully maintained by you!
They don't need to be unique for this award; e.g. they can be made for other contests or just your sites halloween theme/skeleton collection.
They don't need to be new; pages you made years ago are fine too!
Obvs the page must be halloween/spooky/ghostly or witchy themed etc
Post your nominations in the comments below before 5pm GMT on the 31st!
Prizes:
The top 2 winners will be awarded freeee plots in MelonTown! You can use a plot to link to your site, or just ask me to put something there in your honour if you prefer not to be linked..
Everyone who enters will get their name on the honour list* and will get a secret prize!
How it will be awarded: The judging will focus mainly on how fun and creative the page is; the focus is on spookyness rather than web design skills.
I will be asking an impartial judge (A friend from outside the MelonLand community) to help assign 1-6 points to each webpage.
Then a public poll will be opened where everyone can vote for their favourite (1 vote = 1 point) - Voting opens on the 31st for 24 hours
The judges points plus community votes will decide the results!
Good luck! I hope people submit some kool spooky webpages or I'll be sad
* Honours list does not yet exist but it'll be hella pro, if you dont wanna be listed on it... TOUGH!
What do you think makes a great online community, what are the ingredients that make a social space not just safe for you but also fun and rewarding to be a part of; and conversely what are the pitfalls that you think need to be avoided? I think about this a lot and I have plenty of opinions of my own, but Id like to hear what you think
Hello! This is a pinned thread for personal announcements; if you have made a minor update to your site or a project please report it here! (Particularly for things you want to share but don't want to make an entire thread for)
Please describe the announcement and provide a link if relevant.
Hello, I though it might be a good idea to make a list of all the known active webrings that people might want to join. If you know a webring/are part of a webring, post about it below!
(Please provide a description of the webring, its size, what kind of sites its for etc)
What kind of places do you look for inspiration for your projects, whether they are games or websites or both? Do you have any links or blogs you visit often for ideas? How to you catalogue or manage your inspiration material?
For me personally; I screenshot a lot of things from videos, or that I find online (I gotta admit one of the few uses for Facebook is groups that share cool images). I take pictures myself out in the world, generally if I see something that connects into other ideas. Taking walks in general; the idea of finding spaces and traveling is always inspiring. When your on a site your traveling through pages just like places on a hike. I also find talking with people often gives me ideas that Id otherwise not figure out on my own; and of course looking at other peoples work to see how they solved things. Oh and old games; something about old games always gives my ideas! Oh oh and vintage magazines (Like LIFE from 1950s); particularly for font/text layout ideas or just overall cohesion. Annd also artworks from just about any era.. although you have to be careful adapting them into web design because often they make the mood too serious.
For text ideas, I keep a note app open on my computer/phone, if I have a one line idea I'll put it in there, or into a todo app if I plan to expand on it later. For images, I used to just have a folder of them on my desktop, but I find a photo app like Eagle is easier to browse casually.
Thinking about Youtube viewing; Often Ill rewatch the same video I like even if Im not getting new info from it.. New info is nice.. but its more the feeling of peace and certainty of having something familiar that Im there for.
Every now and then I'll find something new or unexpected, and thats great! That can be rare though even if Im looking for it, which seems strange because there is SO MUCH on YouTube.
I wonder if it's Youtube or if it's me, does youtube get boring, or do I? Maybe Im just more open sometimes!
Im sharing this as a general creative discussion, it's not exactly web related.. in fact its very far from the web.. but somehow in my mind anyway it feels fresh and as soon as I read it I was like "I wanna worlds and websites that feel like this!" It reminds me of the kinda energy that was in my mind when making Ozwomp, this kinda radical fresh independent feeling, where you want to destroy everything and create everything all at once.
