EDM364's AP Mod Diary, 1/17/17 - 1/18/17

Posted by ADR3-N - January 19th, 2017


EDM364's AP Mod Diary, Page 5


Again, another super short day. Doing this one same day as somewhat of a make-up post.


SLICE OF LIFE:
1/17/2017 - 1/18/2017, frought with crippling migraines and trouble with sleep schedule. When I wake up, first thing is to check NG, deposit, and try to manage some mod duty. Lately I've been sleeping about 18 hours, which is not normal. Unsure if I should seek some medical help on that note. I'm gonna get some sleep. I'm going out later today and do some Poke Hunting. I think it may be depression causing my sleep issues, and getting out seems to help with that. Right now, I'm exhausted. I've got one good run of tracking and then I'm out -- and I'll tack that onto tomorrow's count, since it quite literally is tomorrow and I should have gone to bed hours ago.

On positive notes, I've been having some very interesting and entertaining dreams, at least, most of which involve my Dad at varying ages and stages of life. I look forward to these. It's the only way I get to see him anymore. I wrote a poem in the middle of the night upon waking, which I do intend to turn into a full song... Actually, that goes for all my poetry, lol. If I can't hear it sung, it doesn't make the cut. I can't write good free verse, just novels. Anyway, here, have a shitty somewhat folk-styled chanty poem that I haven't quite hit Quality Assurance on yet.

The sun and the rain
Blot the sky, not your face
What's haunting my mem'ry
Each eternal day

My soul is rapt with entropy
breath is trapped between heartbeats
captivated by dreams
I sleep only to see

The sun and the rain
My mind can't erase
age passing in mem'ry
ephemeral scenes

How the lightest breeze
whips at your long shadow
You follow me as if
you could bring me home

But yours is the darkness
and that's all that I know
yet I can't glimpse the heavens
for fear of the unknown

So I sleep...
And I dream
that we meet
In a realm only I can reach where

The sun and the rain
Blot the sky, not your face
What's haunting my mem'ry
each eternal day


My soul is wracked with entropy
mind is rapt with what I see
captivated by dreams
Death by sleep

I walk this lonely road
With no light but my own
And wish you were here
though that's impossible

Resigned to life all alone
I still hold onto hope
that when my time pass
I see you at last


MOD PERFORMANCE:
No. Thefts: 24
Non remixes: 3
Total: 27
Bans: 15
Per capita: 1.8


BREAKDOWN:
Not much doing. Of 24 thefts, 22 were blatantly for Geometry Dash, and 3 non-remixes. A couple of which were minecraft songs mashed up or stitched together. This totals 27 infractions from 15 users for a rate of 1.8 per capita, same as yesterday. I encountered less alts today than usual, also.


CONCLUSION:
The infraction rate seems stable across samples over the past 3 days, despite small sample sizes. Worst offender today was someone uploading parts of CoD Zombies' OST. Most knew they were breaking the rules but naively thought they wouldn't get caught. One or two seemed just not to have a clue about the rules.


SUBSCRIPTIONS: @littlemisfortune @maorrichan @RealFaction

Thank you!

First of all- that is some damn fine writing up there. Meaningful and heartfelt. And after reading it I get sadder because it once again reminds me just how unfair and ass-backward everything is. Simpletons become millionaires every week; eager to be a puppet and to fit into that cookie-cutter mold. Stupidity (or... obeying/following) is rewarded and it ALWAYS has been. And it always will be.

The true talent gets hushed almost every time- somehow, some way. But it does. It's so rare for someone who deserves it to truly get a fair amount of recognition. Lol by now you're like "this dude is undercover bitching about his own lack of listeners and trying to play it off as empathizing with me". Well shit. Yeah I guess I am in a way, but I also just read your poetry and got pissed FOR you , which is what originally led me on this tangent.

Oh yeah, the other thing... 18 HOURS OF SLEEP A DAY??? Can I borrow some of that plz? I'm lucky to get 18 hours of sleep in 18 days for real...

OOOOH ALSO- I read your message about you possibly taking a crack at mastering some of my vox. Oddly enough I was getting on NG at the time to write a message to you asking if that would be something you might be interested in lol, and surely enough you beat me to it. So that's cool and hell yeah!

Next track I do- I'll send you a reference draft of me on beat, then probably 5 separate .wavs on a zip file.

Instrumental
Main Vox
Dub Vox
Ad Libs

...and then wait anxiously to hear what it sounds like after you do yo thang with it. Alright this message is freaking long, but I just wanted to say I recognize the work you put in even though I just really met you. It gets frustrating sometimes (at least for me) when you work 100 hours on something the fruits of which amount to little more than a single comment saying "great job!"...

Idk. try not to get frustrated, and whatever you do, just keep putting yourself out there. If only for yourself. With me at least- I see my lyrics as a way for me to talk to someone. Like an easy way for someone with social anxiety to get therapy; if that makes sense.

tl;dr- Vanilla Ice had skill, but the game that the industry forced him to play killed any credibility he may have achieved.

Okay then...

I wish I had a reply in mind with as much depth and appreciation and encouragement -- and mutual hatred for the establishment -- blah, blah, blah, in mind, but I just woke up, and three small things I wanna say (yes, I know, unusual for me).

One, glad you like my shit, and thank you for your encouraging bitching about how absolutely fucked the music industry is. This is something I used to harp on at length but now just don't have the energy, because it probably won't change until we start making these bitches go broke -- not buying into their shit, ya dig? One of the reasons I'm big into NG and underground music in general and I've actually turned down two different labels. Of course, there will always be someone gullible enough to get signed, but still. Maybe if I find an actual label with scruples, I'll get with them, or I'll start up my own. It doesn't really cost much to be an internet label these days, after all.

Two, 18 hours of sleep that I can't wake up from or just don't have the will to -- I'd be happy to trade ya some days, at least when I'm not dreaming about people I've lost, hahah. Some of my dreams are great, but I feel as if I'm slipping through time -- like, how much of my life will I remember if I keep sleeping away 70% of it?

Three, I'm excited to see anything you send me. Your shit is usually A1. Only thing I can ask is just to make sure the individual tracks don't have any red-lining or distortion in them or I can't fix that. Once something is rendered, it's rendered, but if the leveling is under control, I can work with it no problem. If you could, try and send everything naked, with no FX first. That way we don't run into the problem of too much EQ, etc.
