The trick would be to reverse engineer the formula.
What are the elements of the songs that make your recognize it as belonging to that game?
Do they use a similar beat, "instruments", or chord progression? Try to use as many of these traits on an original melody.
I think the lesson to be learned from these comments is if all of your cords keep breaking, they probably aren't the problem.
I'm sorry, when I see VHF, all I can hear in my head is Mike Tyson saying VHS.
Dave.
No last name, just Dave.
That's no sandwich! It's a calzone!
Keeping your feet on the ground makes you MUCH less likely to fall asleep while sitting. I suspect the couch sitters are more alert.
Thanks for the update! That's good to know!
Reminds me of the time I discovered the reset button on the garbage disposal. So glad I found that before I gutted the thing.
I get what you're doing here and I respect that, but I gotta say:
Why the hell would you microwave a sandwich?
Don't know how to climb stairs? What the hell are you talking about?
I think you might not understand the purpose of accessibility ramps.
Good ol' poophole loophole!
I was relieved to see there were no bids on the Nazi trash.
I wonder if there's some guy out there that collects little metal cars who really wants to bid, but doesn't want to be the guy who bought the Nazi coin.
I've been invited to attend a Tim Walz rally tonight, and I have no idea what to expect. Share your stories and get me pumped up to see our next VP!
Update: Everybody was right, lots of standing and clapping, but what I really didn't expect was the sense of family I felt with all these strangers around me. We'd bump into each other, and laugh it off, one guy was telling me about how his son was thinking about going to the college that I work at (I was still wearing my shirt from work), and we all just knew that we were working together to make great things happen. I'll probably skip the next one, but it was a great experience. I'm glad I went, and would recommend going to one if you have a chance, and a candidate you believe in.
I just thought of a way to practice!
Don't use your own melody yet. Rip off a melody from another game, and try to make it sound like it belongs in the game you're trying to mimic.
For example, take one of the Super Mario themes, and try to make it sound like it came from Donkey Kong Country.
That way you're focusing on WHAT gives the vibes without worrying about actually composing anything yet.
