  • Ehh theres good and bad

    I’m personally not a fan of brostep, but I will admit that skrillex was an early pioneer of the scene, and a lot of modern edm is shaped around that era (which is moreso around the start of mainstream edm imo). A lot of the first exposure of edm for people was through early internet culture, which a major portion was mlg memes and a lot of brostep. For me, if it wasn’t for brostep, I wouldn’t have color bass (one of my favorites atm along with just good ol dnb). Even brostep brought a resurgence in traditional (-ish) dubstep in the form of teardown and riddim (not much 2 step though)

    Example of color bass that I like https://youtu.be/2mInwGLfEaI
















  • Relatable

    I’m no longer in the same mental state as I was a couple years back (used to cut) but life is not that good right now still. Maybe it’s because most of my friends are back home while I’m out of state for work. Could also be the absolute cinema happening all around. I kinda just fill time up with work and gym, then turn my brain off during the weekends.

    I don’t really have advice cause idk what I’m doing either, but hopefully I offered some solace. Best of luck



  • Depth of field and chromatic aberration are pretty cool if done right.

    Depth of field is a really important framing tool for photography and film. The same applies to games in that sense. If you have cinematics/cutscenes in your games, they prob utilize depth of field in some sense. Action and dialogue scenes usually emphasize the characters, in which a narrow depth of field can be used to put focus towards just the characters. Meanwhile things like discovering a new region puts emphasis on the landscape, meaning they can use a large depth of field (no background blur essentially)

    Chromatic aberration is cool if done right. It makes a little bit of an out of place feel to things, which makes sense in certain games and not so much in others. Signalis and dredge are a few games which chromatic aberration adds to the artstyle imo. Though obviously if it hurts your eyes then it still plays just as fine without it on.
