"Main Website Inquiries" Contact Form Page To Be Reworked Soon

Posted by Merit Celaire on Monday, August 29, 2022 - 02:43 PM

Good afternoon, friends; this is to give you all advance warning that during the course of the next two weeks, our "Main Website Inquiries" contact form page is going to be getting an update. I already have an idea in terms of the "form layout" that I'm hoping to get in action (plus, I also believe that the said form in question is way overdue for a frontend layout update, anyway). But the main purpose for that form will still be the same: to address any legitimate issues regarding the website itself that you're browsing on right now (include broken file links, clarifying any stuff via questions you might have regarding previous blog entries posted, etc.).

You still shouldn't have any issues with getting in touch with me if you're submitting any main website operation inquiries my direction via this form; that said, still keep in mind that any inquiry sent will count toward deducting from the available submissions that our partner account with Formspree will be able to process for us (we're still not in the danger zone on that front, but still has to be said for everyone's safety and understanding). Also, this does not affect any other forms on the site (including the Discord server invite link request formthe plagiarism report form, and our two suggestion forms).

As always, I will definitely let you all know when the new form layout finally goes live in a seperate announcement posting, so stay tuned. See you all later.

The "Super Mario Kart" Game (And Respective Spinoff Series) Turns 30 Years Old Today

Posted by Merit Celaire on Saturday, August 27, 2022 - 04:22 PM

This just in from my internal sources, everyone - and although yours truly has been doing Super Nintendo music style covers regarding songs from some installments under the related "family" of installments, this one thing is very clear: they would not even exist at all (as well as our song cover stuff) if one very important game back then didn't show up on the scene.

That game in question was the Super Mario Kart installment, which was developed for the Super Nintendo console itself 30 years ago today. Who ever would have thought that this one special game in question conceived by a few minds at the Nintendo Japan headquarters would turn into a huge spinoff installment phenomenon that is still all the rage with videogame hobbyists today (via the current installments of Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Tour)? And it looks like this momentum under this group of games isn't planned on slowing down any time soon.

As for the games in question that we have done song covers for in the Super Nintendo music style focused on certain Mario Kart installments, please make sure to check out the following (as of the date and time of this posting):

Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart 7
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Mario Kart Arcade GP DX
Mario Kart Tour
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit

Another friendly reminder that if you have any of these above mentioned "modern" Mario Kart game installments in question, please don't hesitate to let us know via this suggestion form; additionally, if you have any song candidates from said games which you think I should consider doing a future Super Nintendo music style cover for, make sure to let me know about it here (just make sure that you've selected the game installment in question accordingly before entering the song candidate itself).

Once again, many thanks to all of the Nintendo developers in Japan who have ignited a huge spinoff installment phenomenon in general for the Super Mario series as a whole via the Mario Kart family of installments, and here's to the next major milestone for this angle of the franchise. (And here's to our doing more Super Nintendo music styled covers featuring songs from the Mario Kart games as well after today.) Until next time, see you all later.

Dormant on Frontend, But Still Busy on Backend; What's Been Going On

Posted by Merit Celaire on Wednesday, August 24, 2022 - 09:31 PM

Good evening, faithful friends/followers of these beloved music operations as a whole; I definitely appreciate your heartfelt patience at this time - besides the recent addition that was made a little over one week ago, I've still been slowly sorting things out on the backend like heck as I try to get back into the Super Nintendo music style arrangement groove full force  and see about clearing out the majority of this backlog before this year is in the history books. And just to prove that I'm not lying, here's what I'm currently having to deal with at this time.

(1) Still Having "Primary Email Issues" Regarding Our "Twitter Portal" Account
As some of you might recall, a few months ago when yours truly had to literally sort out moving this site to a new hosting service months ago, I was also sorting out matters regarding "email correspondence matters" tied to our account with Twitter. To this day, I am still having issues with the support department there getting in touch with me regarding getting that situation completely resolved and I feel they're literally giving me the runaround. At last check, they did get back with me saying that the internal departments will investigate the issue and get back with me when they've finally gotten to the source of the problem. The problem is, they haven't given me an ETA on when that'll happen and I'm just left with closed tickets as a result. I'm still a patient person regarding this matter, but rest assured that I'm not going to let this situation die down easily. Hopefully before this year is out, Twitter will finally see about following up with me with a real answer on getting our music operation's "primary email address" back on file completely. Stay tuned.

(2) Playing Email Correspondence Catch-Up, But Still Waiting To Hear From You!
As this title states, because of real life situations that I've been having to sort through outside of these music operations, as well as taking care of important things on the backend within (including this site), I've been slowly trying my best to catch up on any email correspondence related to here. Progress has been made on this angle during the course of tonight; in the meantime, I'm still patiently waiting to hear from many of you via the main email contact form and especially our two suggestion forms that help in my planning new music arrangement covers to share with you all in the months ahead. As I have always said, although I am the "main author" of these entire operations (as well as the administrator of this site), this is still nothing without you faithful Mario videogame enthusiasts and Super Nintendo music style arrangement fans backing me up, so if you have any legitimate stuff you wanted to send my way via review, make sure to hit the aforementioned links. Just keep in mind the "submission limit" that we're under from the Formspree end (as explained in this previous post).

(3) Community Members Still Needed, Especially For The Coming "Final Four Months"!
I'll definitely elaborate on this another time, especially when we start the month of September, but we definitely need to get in gear and bring in more people who are definitely interested in following these endeavors of covering the "modern" song of the Super Mario (main, spinoff, and branched) videogame installments in the beloved Super Nintendo music style! So if you are a person who definitely has been enjoying what's been presented here and/or if you know someone who also might be very interested (and if both angles meet this criteria), then we definitely need you to join us! The available social media portals related to these music operations are our server on the Discord (after applying for an invite link via this form), submitting a follower request via our Twitter profilejoining our IRC channel on EsperNet, as well as following our SoundCloud profile. My hope is that during the upcoming "final four months" that will hit in less than 1 - 2 weeks from now, I can get back in the music groove and get more music covers posted (that are obviously not targeting songs from Mario Kart Tour!). Oh, I almost forgot about mentioning the "Forum Portal", but that'll still be elaborated on at another time (but I will state that what's getting in the way on that angle is in terms of the "hosting services" setup regarding our account with AwardSpace).

Until then, I have to end this here; bottom line: we're still slowly coming back for sure. The main hope is that new music arrangement postings will be back in full force once we get into September (and the "final four months" period itself). Once again, I thank you all in advance for your patience during this time and take care until we see each other again. I'm out for now.

"SoundCloud Portal" News As Of 8/18/2022

Posted by Merit Celaire on Thursday, August 18, 2022 - 05:26 PM

All right, faithful friends/followers of these music operations as a whole, I've just snagged the chance to let you all know what's been happening in regards to the SoundCloud Portal area; even though that's where yours truly has been posting "personal favorites" of the Super Nintendo music style arrangements that have been shared here, the traffic to our stuff related to that profile has still been insane. And it has still been way since during the course of yesterday when I posted our newest "personal favorite" which is actually what I posted for this site a few days ago.

That said, two things that I need to see about sharing with you quickly: first, if all goes to plan, I'm still going to be checking our related SoundCloud on the backend to see about our available "timespace situation" (because after our posting my latest "personal favorite" there, the account only has 8 available minutes remaining (172 / 180 minutes) under the "free account status". Seriously, I'm praying for a miracle regarding this matter because from what I'm seeing here, the SoundCloud is apparently one of the "clues" that I'm noticing that possibly the "majority" want to actually hear this kind of stuff on platforms like this. We'll see what comes as the months forge ahead.

Second, as much as I don't want to repeat myself about this situation, there are some people out there on SoundCloud that still don't want to read the "disclaimers" that I have put on the "About Me" section of the profile because they hope I can grant exceptions and hope that I'll "notice" them. More specifically, they hope that I'll immediately see about promoting our covers on their so-called "services"... for a price. We've already addressed this matter at the bottom of this post that I've written a few months back and we won't hesitate to block and report certain users who we find are just trying to "advertise" third-party services (as we only want legitimate listeners/followers who match our criteria for our music operations as a whole here). That's how serious we are about making sure ensure we have the legitimate listener/follower base we're looking for and we appreciate your understanding regarding this.

If you have any further questions/inquiries regarding these two angles stated above in this said post, please don't hesitate to let me know. See you all later.
