Release id #249171 : Blue Monday

Karaoke night with PAL.

@PAL I read your parabel to the scene and karaoke. This is a great way to put it!
I think it is so good so it's worthy of a comment but since this is not about the release itself I started this thread.

I think this is exactly what the scene is about. You cooked it down perfectly and this is also something that resonates with me 100% and something Ive been saying all along.
I doesn't matter how off key it is, as long as it is you who sing, all will celebrate the honest effort and daring attempt to show yourself in a vulnerable moment. And as a bonus maybe next time you will sing a bit better, if it even matters. :)

I guess this is what I want to see in the scene. The honesty and your personality rather than AI.
Yes here comes the AI talk. But since you illustrated it so perfectly I saw a moment where there may be a time to find common ground.

For me AI is like going up, mimic and play professional sounding prerecorded singing in a karaoke bar. What's the point of that? I want to see YOU and what you are about. I'd rather go to a karaoke bar than watch Eurovision Song Contest.

All the respect PAL!

Included PALs comment below for context.

"PS:

I went to a karaoke bar tonight and had so much fun, it made me think about our demo scene.

They all grabbed the microphone. I guess their hearts were pounding, their voices trembling. Some soared, some stumbled, and to be completely honest, many sounded truly horrible.

The crowd sang along, laughed, smiled, cried, cheered, and clapped, not for my satisfaction or the perfection of it all, but for the courage of those who dared to put on a show. For a few golden hours tonight, there was no judgment, only karaoke music, love and pure joy between people wanting to have a great time together.

In another our scene, hard working artists and creators invest massively, pouring their hearts into their demos, music, art or other creations, only to face cold words from those who think they can dictate what is "correct" based on their own narrow views and what they want.

If life were more like my karaoke night, where every voice, no matter if offkey, was worth celebrating, the world would be a better place.

PSS: I sang tonight too. It was the worst one in a way… The whole night was hillbilly and upbeat tunes, what we in Norway call harry music, and I went up there and sang a slow Bowie tune. Lol. I loved it and they did too!"

No matter what one posts on here at CSDB, it gets met with far over the top emotions and the wildest assumptions, accusations of lying or cheating all the way. It is exhausting and very boring. If this does not stop, it will drive people away, soon there will be nothing left to shine about at your stage or canvas.

The AI debate is one thing, the obsessive fixation on it is mad, as it is the only thing that matters today, rather than a bunch of friends and different people having much fun together. People will not create if the scene turns into nothing but nitpicking nerdism. Back in 1992, people quit because it all became about who could squeeze in one more sprite over the rasterbars, it got so booring. It is now 2025, we have a so much more exciting scene and everyone have moved forward. Be heroes.

Leave me out of this mess - I responded to comments in a post about a cover music, this is how far an silly it all will go... there were a history in that thread that led to all this.

Tomorrow, I am off to a Pink Floyd tribute concert. Maybe I will stop by the karaoke bar afterward, where people are actually jolly and wanting to have a great time.
