Aalasteir's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Episode 37 - Flash Revolution 2020 (w/ Cyberdevil)]

Thank you!

@Cyberdevil You're really good at making reviews. I'd like to be more like you and also get into the practice of making reviews and sharing how I feel about the projects people have made. You have a great voice and I feel that you are extremely articulate. I absolutely love Better Than the Book as well. @Jabun is an amazing musician! As well as being an amazing person! Meteor Shower is a great song with strong energy.

It's really annoying that there were people who deleted your submissions because they were unkind and didn't like you. Having so many deletions for such a reason seems very stupid. That simply creates a bad environment for everybody because we are all here to have fun, and it's not cool to act like that. If the administration gave me a message like the one you got, I would be upset and I would have beef too. It's good you got support from the administration when your account got hacked the second time.

You are right, stuff like that is luckily a lot less common because NewGrounds now has much better security. I feel most people, if they got hit with those attacks, would not be able to withstand that as well as you did. I really appreciate you sharing those experiences, as they can be difficult because they are quite negative, though it is immensely good that you do because it gives a good perspective of what it was like in 2009.

It's very sad because a lot of people have a negative view of NG because of rude people like that back in the day who would just cause trouble and be really unpleasant. I'm happy that users now are much kinder, and the veteran users understand the power of kindness and how it creates a better environment for all to be in.

Motherload is absolutely a classic. Skye Boyes proved that amazing games can be made. I am very sad that he passed away. He was an amazing artist, one of the greatest Flash developers who ever lived. Even an absolute cunt like me can recognize that.

Hell yeah! @ChazDude great sense of comedy, great creativity, and a level of dedication, passion that deserves all the respect. The Soviet Onion! I wish my dreams were like that instead of being just horrific nightmare stay out at least funny horrific nightmares.

@Little-Rena is the founder of @SoupSquad there's one about Pico tasting soup that is definitely impactful with themes!

@littlbox @GoodL thank you for creating the episode. You make a great team. It's super awesome to have Weird Al as the first concert experience, and it's awesome that he also came to Sweden.

I'm aware that there's not going to be a season 3, but a spin-off about cuckolderie, I would say, that would be quite epic. You could advertise that on Reddit; you would get all the upvotes!

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank YOU! :)

[Custom Pokemon Battle Music (For Team "Simply Lemonade")]

Great job! Excellent composition!

[PHUNK U [Full EP]]

Excellent energy with powerful tonalities! And great cover art from Montrose!

[The space collab]

Congratulations, everyone! There is a lot of variation!

Aalasteir responds:

nice

You made an expertly good song, and the commentary that you utilized, including the tags, definitely introduces a high level of narrative for the King himself. What can I say? I am surprised this is skill level 200. The ending is quite abrupt, which I would say is a thematic decision, representing a swift BBS ban.

EDIT. @SamaadBae5 that is very unfortunate :(

SamaadBae5 responds:

He said he didn't want me to keep the end where I recorded audio of him screeching in euphoria

[Everything by Everyone]

Yes, it's jingle time! You captured the spirit perfectly with the jingle's attitude and the upbeat vibe that I believe is synonymous with Newgrounds. It feels very hopeful and retro, representing the longevity and history of the community.

[dont sell no weed]

The melody and chords flow well, great combination of instruments. It's good that there's a strong start, and there's a buildup to when the beat drops, which is a good choice.

oChron1cTQ responds:

Melody and chords, especially instruments, are a big part of Lone's vibe, so I'm very glad it goes well!

The start is also a rap-type start, pretty common in trap and phonk beats. The drop at the end (1:40), is sooo fire imo, every time I hear it I go crazzzyyyyyyyy

btw, the producer tag still hasn't changed, idk really how to get a better one, my voice and microphone wouldn't be suitable (at least yet), so I just use the bad one cuz it's better than getting my beat stolen

Thank you!

[Mutilate]

Good bass, the melody is cool, and there are good changes in the arrangement, which brings a lot of style.

oChron1cTQ responds:

The bass is supposed to be really loud and kindof unleashed, 'cause it's Freddie Dredd, but I still do have sidechaining, which keeps it from sounding too muddy, however due to the nature of F-Dredd beats, the high end is reduced, so it obviously still is pretty muddy

Melody is just VK, It's pretty much just on the semi-tones, for that dark, killing vibe

Arrangement at the start is definitely different, follows a lot of hip-hop rules

[Green and Black]

That is a good balance in the instruments, and it's a very unique combination of sounds, creating an interesting atmosphere.

oChron1cTQ responds:

Thanks! Wouldn't expect that, I honestly didn't think it was the best, (especially the newjazz part) but ig it is a pretty good balance, I tried to keep it minimal so it's very uncluttered

Thanks!
