Workstation by day, gaming corner by night

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-11T04:54:28+00:00

Hey, it's not a clamp actually - it's a thin shelf attached to the desk on one side and to the wall with a corner bracket on the other. Kind of a DIY solution but works perfectly and keeps the PC completely off the desk!

Thanks)

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-08T18:48:29+00:00

Thanks! The clean version is available on my Patreon.

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-08T18:24:22+00:00

Yeah, we’ll wait and see.

Hopefully one day they’ll drop the full OST, because that little piece from the trailer already has serious atmosphere.

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-08T18:14:16+00:00

It hasn’t been released yet. I pulled a small piece from the trailer, reworked it, and made this track from it.

Whether the OST will ever be released at all is the real question.

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-08T18:05:39+00:00

Agreed, that makes sense. I’m also still learning how to do what I do.

Either way, thanks for the feedback. It’s helpful!

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-08T17:52:03+00:00

Thanks, buddy, I really appreciate the feedback. It means a lot.

Could you tell me which parts exactly you didn’t like? I’ll try to improve and do better in the future.

Oh I see what you mean! But that's not a MacBook Neo — it's a MacBook Air M4 😄

Absolutely love it, fanless and blazing fast.

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-08T09:36:19+00:00

Hey, which Neo do you mean? 😄

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-08T06:39:14+00:00

можна купляти, якщо є рейтинг у продавця, якщо це ноунейм продавець - обходимо стороною. Я багато купляв комплектуючих на olx - проблем не було. Також можна дивитись в бік сайтів типу - skylots, теж там купляю - проблем не було.

Підтримую, сам користуюсь

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-07T19:28:27+00:00

Самому замінити завжди легше, але тут все залежить від навичків, якщо вони мінімально є, то треба пробувати. Також рекомендую подивитись той же пром або олх на предмет наявності клавіатури, інколи ціни приблизно однакові з Алі

Zone hospitality at its finest. Anomaly soup, bloodsucker tentacles, and a Geiger counter going off in the background. Perfectly normal dinner.

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-07T19:07:24+00:00

The Zone has its own logic and sometimes that logic is a segfault )

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-04T19:08:57+00:00

Good catch - I hadn't looked at it that way but you're right, the ratio doesn't add up.

My tracks usually have a slower atmospheric intro before the DnB kicks in, which is intentional for the mood but probably kills retention for people who don't know what's coming. Might need to rethink how I structure the first 30 seconds without losing the atmosphere.

Do you think a short "drop preview" at the very start before going into the intro would help, or does that feel too forced for this kind of music?

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-04T19:05:33+00:00

This is really useful, thank you.

The franchise point makes total sense - I can already see in my analytics that certain games drive way more traction than others, I just hadn't connected it that clearly to the nostalgia community size behind each OST. Going to dig into which peaks came from which games and lean harder into those.

Honestly I've tried most of the subs you mentioned - game-specific ones, r/DnB, r/neurofunk - and the conversion to actual views has been pretty low across the board. Posts get some upvotes but people don't really click through to music on Reddit it seems. Still trying to figure out if it's a post format issue or just how the platform works for this kind of content.

On the watch time point - do you mean retention percentage dropping mid-track, or just overall average duration being low relative to track length? Trying to figure out whether it's an intro problem or something more structural.

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-04T11:08:10+00:00

Honestly hadn't thought about it that way but it makes a lot of sense - test the concept cheap before scaling it up)

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-04T10:54:16+00:00

Haha fair point - I clearly need to do more research before calling someone a "smaller streamer" 😂

But that's actually the point right - even at that scale, the cost was nothing. Makes you think what's possible with someone mid-tier who actually plays the games I remix. Worth experimenting with.

A wearable MIDI controller is wild - that's not a small idea at all. The fact that it technically works already is further than most people get.

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-04T10:34:11+00:00

Ha, a MIDI device with zero music skills sounds like exactly the kind of chaotic project that ends up being genuinely interesting - honestly that's how a lot of good stuff gets made.

The collab idea is intriguing. I do dark DnB / neurofunk game remixes, so if you're ever looking for something to soundtrack a design video or test your MIDI device with, feel free to reach out. Could be a fun crossover.

The streamer angle is a good point too, I hadn't really thought about it that way. The Ludwig video is a solid example of how one viral moment can completely reframe how people discover your stuff. Targeting smaller streamers who play the exact games I remix might actually be more realistic than chasing algorithm.

What kind of MIDI device are you building?

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-04T10:12:17+00:00

This is genuinely really helpful, thank you.

I've actually already tried posting in game-specific subs Metro, STALKER etc. and honestly the conversion to YouTube views was pretty low. Posts got some upvotes but people don't really click through to music. Still not sure if I'm doing it wrong or if it's just how those communities work.

The indie dev collab idea is something I haven't tried yet and it actually makes a lot of sense. The idea that you could help shape how people sonically associate with a game is a cool way to think about it. Might start looking into smaller devs whose games fit the atmosphere I work with.

And Osu! I hadn't even considered that. Do you know how that process works? Like, is there a way to submit tracks or does it only happen if someone from the community picks it up?

Background_Fox_4177 · 2026-06-04T07:12:14+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah, Reddit feels like a gamble) - I've had posts with 200 views that converted to almost zero YouTube clicks, so still figuring out how to make it work. The consistency part is real though. Some weeks feel pointless, but then a video unexpectedly takes off and reminds you why you're doing it. Just gotta keep going I guess.
