  And before anyone says this is spam, I get absolutely zero from Soundcloud plays.

    This is the kind of self promotion that Reddit once thrived upon and which made it an interesting place to find user made content. It's fine.

    All of those "no self promotion" rules seemed like they came into existence to combat spammers... but really in the end, it just turned into a way to clear the subreddits and make advertising space for big brands instead of the little guys.

      “Self promotion” can and often is conversation. Ads are ever just ads. Of course rules and expectations were put in place to push for a divisive paradigm that only “the big guy” can afford to sidestep.

      Can’t have advertisers’ treasured impressions diluted by discourse that happens to involve a specific person’s (often) passionate labors. Drink your multinational conglomerate verification can now.

      That’s indeed how I view this rule as a mod. Self promotion is ok, “excessive” self promotion isn’t. I’m aware it is a bit vague, maybe we should explain it better on the sidebar to avoid unnecessary conflict. I’ll bring it up on the moderation Discord.

      But to make it clearer, my opinion on the matter is that excessive self-promotion amount to the following cases :

      • Making multiple post about the same topic, multiples time is a shortish amount of time. Like posting once, then reposting the following day if your topic didn’t get as much traction as you’d have wished
      • Promoting things for monetary gains (sponsored links, etc.) without first disclosing it. As an example, I removed a service offering a backgammon online platform, I first removed the first topic in order to make sure it was legit, which it seems to have been, not a ads/virus ridden website, which it wasn’t, and not paid, which it didn’t seem to be. As they happened to have made a new post in the meantime, I did not restore the first one, but did not remove the second one.

      Of course that’s my opinion of the rules, the other mods may have a different opinion on the matter. I try my best to find a balance in my decisions.

  While you’re on Blizzard tunes, Diablo 2’s Tristram and Wilderness always tickled my fancy in the same way StarCraft Terran themes did.

    YES I forgot about these. I’ll see what the remaster ones sound like and see what I can do tomorrow.

      Ever considered the Command and Conquer Red Alert series? For me Red Alert 2 is the most memorable, but all of their songs are very metal and industrial sounding. I’d recommend even just checking out the menu music for Red Alert 2, it goes hard.

      Oh, I need this. I usually go with heavy metal remixes of video game music when I can but I haven’t found anyone that has done Tristram properly yet.

    Pretty sure they were written by the same guy, Matt Uleman

  How did you remaster them?

    AI extracted the instruments from the remastered game and ran them through my normal studio workflow.

  I enjoyed Terran 3, my favourite of the TerrN themes.

    Never played. I’ll poke around and do some listening.

  The original XCOM soundtrack slapped and I’m curious what a remaster would be like

  Ultima III and/or Alternate Reality: The City, based on the C64 versions.

  What a nostalgia hit! Throw in some random ground troop sound effects and you have full ASMR for some 30+ year olds around here.

  Very nicely done! Takes me back to the late 90s!
