in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
TL;DR: I have a PC again, I'm still installing plugins, but I basically can get back to my music projects
Long version:
On my previous post I showed a BSOD on my previous PC. It was worse than that. Whatever fixing procedure I attempted it did nothing than worsening the problem, switching from a kernel problem to another, and back again as if it was just a loop of BSODs... So I gave up and reinstalled windows and everything worked. For a couple of days. Then it was BSOD fest again. So I tried reinstalling windows, but this time it couldn't even copy its files during the procedure. On my second attempt it could copy less files than before. So that's when I decided to go with a new pc, with multiple OSs and a full image backup system. And until today I've been working on this, buying parts (I know, worst moment for this), assembling, installing OSs and programs... It took a while, especially now that I'm going to night school, but now I'm almost done. There's one last OS that I want to install, a Linux distro, probably ubuntu or pop_os, just to try Proton from steam, but this is my last priority.
Anyways, the important thing is that I'm ready to work on music again. And if you noticed my whistling preview at the end of my final video I already decided what's next...

Cringe...
On the bright side all my files are still in there, somewhere, it just can't boot... As if I had the time to stay on problems like these...

News time
TLDR: Less videos but at least I won't abandon the channel
The (not too) long explanation:
OK, I've decided to wait for the lessons to begin to make it official. I've decided to go to night school. Why? I've never finished my last high school year for personal reasons and now I have an opportunity at work which require a diploma, so that's it. Will I let the channel die? Nah, of course not, but I definitely won't have the same time as before, it will be drastically reduced (I guess, actually I need to see how much time is it going to eat from my weekend, my main period for working on recordings). However I will still continue to do what I ALWAYS DID with my channel, which is "recording covers and some original music in my spare time". This obviously means there will be less videos and for this reason I also decided to change again my release criteria, I started with some sort of A-B-C cycle. Now I'll just release whatever the heck I'm into at the moment, be it another Doom wad midi, a "remaster" or an original midi. Speaking of which I will try to refrain myself from joining projects, even though I can hardly say no, and there are some people I really just can't say no.
On a side note, 30th of september is a very special anniversary, and I was planning something nice for it. It won't happen, because I don't have the time to practice for this project and release it on time, which means it is postponed to an undetermined future day (maybe next year?). I will upload something else instead, I already have an idea but I'm considering other options.
That's all for today, folks!

Ok, now that "Quake Up" is out I wonder if it will ever be blocked, claimed or anything like that 😆. What do you say, it's a matter of...

Today Final Doom is 25 years old. 25-YEARS. And in this day there's a special gift especially for TNT Evilution: a whole midi pack full of remakes and originals made by incredibly talented musicians ...and me XD.
Jokes aside, I've made a couple of midis, a remake and an original which will be uploaded in the next days. However I absolutely encourage you to immediately reach the doomworld thread and download the midi pack to play tnt with it, or even just listen to it. I highly recommend it first because it's awesome and second because it's very diversified. But don't trust my word, see and listen to it for yourselves:

By the way... I recall this month having more than one anniversary... Weird...

Uuh, someone is going to stream something very interesting: the whole NRFTL Midi pack team is going to play the whole wad, *each musician playing the map that they made the music for, so that means I'll be there! Link below.

I'm going to pause the midi producion for Lezuum's map pack for a little bit, just the time to quickly finish other midi projects before get back to work on Lezuum's remaining music. There's going to be more music for this project (intermission, title and maybe read me... And maybe even more), but for now I'm going to briefly work on a couple of covers AND other original midi projects I'm involved with.
Here's a not too random shambler to entertain you.
