Why is everybody on this site suddenly a musician?

Seriously. First you were coders. Then you were nothing. Then you were artists, and now you are all musicians? How does a community drift towards such trends when each requires some amount of considerably varied skill? I think the answer is that few of you actually have skill in more than a single one of these areas. I won't name names, but it sure seems to me like many of you are pretty bad at art and/or music. You should probably stop spreading yourselves so thin and focus on fewer creative outlets. At this point it's just getting silly.

That's all I really had to say.

Real Life Pokemon Situation: You're walking your nearly fainted Pokemon to the Pokemon Center, you are two tiles away when you encounter a mugger, actually it's Gary Oak….he wants to battle….first you need to get wrist control….this is when you pull out your gun….but he already pulled one out first….You black out….

What a wonderful blog. You have managed to be both arrogant and patronizing while being neither critical or thoughtful. Bravo.

Half the fucking cast is the comedic relief.

Hmmm. MAYBE people should just do whatever the fuck they want to do? A lot of people who are interested in coding are interested in music. Do you realize art is subjective in the first place? You can't call art bad and expect people to agree with you, in almost every circumstance.

Secondly, even if it is bad to you, isn't sharing your creations and asking for critique a way of bettering your art/music/hobby whatever the fuck it is you want to do?

Lastly, why the fuck would anybody force themselves to do one thing just so they don't "spread themselves thin". You sound like a communist or something. "Everybody should do one thing and nothing else so they can get really good at that thing, and that is all." I mean, really?

I'm sorry I can't find one redeeming quality in this post. Why the hell does it matter to you??? There's a community of people who work on games/art/music/whatever the hell they want so we can all share it with each other and try and get better or get some feedback and you bitch about it?

I just need to be creative, sometimes I need to spread out in order to fully express myself…even if "expressing myself" is to, literally, myself

I've never been a coder, so it's nice to finally not be the only musician… Even though I never put stuff up, since most of you musicians are composers and I'm a performer.

I'm spread right now.

TAKE ME, EV!
