Digital Emotion - Moving To The  Top,  Supernova (2021) – funny sci fi

Today, it is something like disco with hi energy. Or, in my folder with Eurodance, also, it was some disco. And front cover, absolutely so retrowave style, retrowavers like to do this kind of art. So, virtual future. And sun. Most classical retrowave visual. And, lots of fans like it. I like it too. I do not need something else. Let`s go to listen little music! Digital emotions! Let`s start it to listen, no need to wait even a second!

Moving to the top. It is first track. Let`s go up! We are in lift, and let`s move up. Or, inside a car. Fly to the space! Such a tempo. Simple. And straight. And synthesizers. Tune for 80s. Calibrate process – point to 80s and space. Synthesizer’s wave. You hear how sound make a change. Let`s fly! This is little music – a joy for an engineer. Such a one with mustaches. Fantastic. About a stars to have a dream. And walk here and there. To calculate something and solve equations. So, this way pop music should to be! Joyful engineer and positive. Something about a future. Light and positive future.

Digital Emotion - Moving To The  Top,  Supernova (2021)

Electronic voice says some welcome word to you. We are moving at the top. And, disco vocal. Singing is here too. It is a disco, real disco is here. Best thing, that was in the past – it was a disco. Everything will be all right! It is a night. Song is goes. So, disco style thing, with some modern with synthesizers features. With speed of light. Straight into the night. Everything will be excellent! Excellent! It is some echo in a song!

Let`s move to the second song. With a tempo of a disco. And, synthesizers super future. Little music is here! Second track. Super nova.

Digital Emotion - Moving To The  Top,  Supernova (2021)

And, it is funny! Also, with a drive! With style of little songs about 80s! Whole age. Something like magic fly. Or Magic flight. But, here it is author`s work. Cool song! And, so, with a drive in! And, I think, that it is fantastic too. And, there, synthesizer makes a rhythm. And, female singer sings. This is super nova. And voice of a robot sings some background – super nova. And, singer sings next. And, sounds like blasters. And, fantastic effects all around. From right to left. All around. You are in a magic space. Good and positive little music! To start your own super cool weekend. She sings cool! Have a free time as a super nova! Supernova! Bright and fantastic star. Sound like most 80s. But, it is made today. So, this way, it is good to write music. Synthesizers – such a space, and future is here made by synths with sounds. We are in fantastic!

Let`s fly! Joyful and synthesizers. Future. And cool female singer, also, singing for you a little song. With style of retrowave. About supernova star. Such a sound like clap your hands! Let`s be funny and more fun! And into the sound system it is sound runs – new synthesizer theme - new kind of tempo. Something like, at the left, and at the right. And everyone is having joy! Star future for you and me!

Take your friend engineer and let`s go to have fun! Take a synthesizer with yourself!  And, so cool exciting retrowave. Disco. Digital emotions – it is just unbelievable thing. Single. 2 songs. And, what kind of positive and exciting it brings. I think, that it is a sound vision, that I was searching for!

Here are photos from countryside. At night at the countryside. It is very interesting! And positive! And unusual! Everything is so mysterious! Wow, summer 2024! Beautiful flowers.

Music listener. From time to time i like to listen to the music. And write about it. Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

An explanation to my Discord profile picture.

Alright, so my Discord profile picture has been pretty much the exact same ever since I got Discord way back in 2017. When I do change it, it's to a recolor of the same picture. So, what is my profile picture?

It's this. A screencap of an anime called Kaiba. I wont do an explanation of what the anime is about, but basically it's my favorite anime so I just started using it as my pfp on Discord and it's basically just kind of become my thing. I would like to just to just double mention that the original screen cap is not drawn by me, it is from the anime Kaiba directed and created by Masaaki Yuasa so please go give it a watch.

The oldest edit I have still on my computer is this one here where I basically tried making a "retrowave" type pfp. At the time I never really liked it, and looking back on it I really don't like it because I've gotten a lot better at making these things.

That said, I did add to that specific picture right after this and removed the background to replace it with the original Kaiba background which does look better.

I tried making a Pride pfp not long after and it turned out pretty bad.

My very first Christmas pfp in 2018 was...well it was not good if I'm being honest.

My first official recolor that I have wasn't until 2020. That's when I decided to recreate the outline of the original drawing so I could do my own thing. The colors I used for this come from Kamina from the anime Gurren Lagann.

The next one I did after Kamina was Stocking Anarchy, a character from Panty & Stocking, another one of my favorite anime.

Next up is Halloween of 2020. This would be the first Halloween pfp I have saved, and probably ever made. It is just a jack-o-lantern. The concept of it I think is pretty clever, but the actual execution just didn't work. Maybe I can do it again another year and make it better.

And after Halloween comes Christmas, this being the second Christmas pfp I have means it has to be better....right? I had a whole year to get better. You can decide that.

This next one isn't one I did, it's actually one a friend of mine did for me. It's just the normal Kaiba picture, but they made him a cat boy! I actually do come back to this one from time to time.

Ok so shockingly, for 2021 I didn't really have any new pfps, at least none that I saved, so we're jumping right into Halloween 2021. It's Dracula and I actually really like this one. This I think is when I think I can see a change in myself getting better at making these, and graphic design as a whole.

Christmas 2021 was also really good, it's a gingerbread man! Has texture and everything. Also one of my favorites I've done.

I eventually decided to upscale the original Kaiba picture, remove the background, and leave just the outline and was left with this.

I was then able to do cool things like this Nonbinary Kaiba. I did this when me and a bunch of friends in a server were doing similar pfp.

One that I really love is this "real" Kaiba that I made. I usually use Paint.net to make all my stuff be that YouTube thumbnails or these profile pictures, but I decided to try out Gimp just for this one specific pfp to get the warp tool and I think it worked out.

I'm not going to show all of my pictures, but I do want to leave it off with this years Halloween pfp. It's Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

With that being said I'm going to go ahead and leave a screenshot of the folder that hold all of my Kaiba pictures just so you can see the rest of them that I didn't show here. It's funny how this little joke of a profile picture has unintentionally been helping me better myself at graphic design.

Forza photo dump because the retrowave theme from this month's update actually looks kinda cool ngl

Photos under the cut because there's 16 of them

I don't take photos very often, since I focus more on building and driving in Forza. But I had to make an exception just for this update 🤩

Additional Notes:

Cars pictured: 2022 Hyundai N Vision 74, 2021 Lamborghini Countach, 1988 Lamborghini Countach

Credit to ArchBlue1109 for driving and making the livery for the 1988 Countach.

I made the livery on the 2021 Countach, the 2022 N Vision just has a simple paint job rather than a full livery. (which is why it shows up just twice, and only from behind)

I set the graphics to ultra when taking the Countach photos. (my pc did not like that one bit)

1988 Countach's headlights are closed in the highway driving photo, since the game time was midday while we did the drive. (Photo mode allows time of day changes, but certain features like pop-up headlights do not update properly.)

Weird camera angle? Probably me trying to obscure some very inconveniently placed traffic cars because YOU STILL CAN'T TURN THE LITRLE BUGGERS OFF IN FREEROAM

I have a widescreen monitor, hence the photos are also in widescreen 21:9

Forza Horizon 5 is getting even more exciting with the neon-soaked Horizon Retrowave update.

This update introduces five new cars, a fresh radio station, and a variety of neon decorations. It adds the 1980 Lotus Esprit Turbo, 1986 BMW M635CSi, 1986 Citroen BX 4TC, 2021 Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, and 2022 Hyundai N Vision 74 to the game's car list.

Players can enjoy 21 new synthwave tracks on the Horizon Wave radio station, experience extended nights with synchronized neon lights, and celebrate #Minecraft's 15-year anniversary with themed cosmetics.

With its ever-expanding car roster and innovative updates, #Forza Horizon 5 stands out in open-world racing games.
