Shoutout to @grimreapersprint​ for actually exploring/explaining each of these in our discord! Here are her findings:

Forest Synth - Legit 

Dirtstep - technically yes, and it sounds exactly like what you would expect 

Grassgaze - I found one song and it’s strangely ominous 

Leprechrust - No, which honestly surprises me 

Flowerviolence - real and sounds like crap 

Shroom N’ Bass- This is just Hardbass with extra steps 

Mushroom House - Legit 

Moss Rock - sounds kind of like older bluegrass listened to from a distant cavern except extremely loud 

Shiny Rock - Sounds like if you gave a Nirvana cover band a fistful of molly and shrooms 

Garden Core - Sufjan Stevens on a near-lethal dose of Xanax 

Cavern Core - Sounds like cookie monster started a garage band in an abandoned aircraft hanger 

Treewave - The one song I found sounds like getting a severe concussion in the middle of a house track 

Birdsong - gentle chirping backed by a hurdy-gurdy the size of a volkswagen beetle 

Whistle Choir - Unable to disambiguate 

Subterranean Folk - yes if you count underground folk, which absolutely sounds like gnome music 

Dark Underground - this sounds what executive dysfunction feels like 

Deep Underground - Hardbass with fewer steps OR chugging an entire bottle of cough syrup and then trying to pull off a jazz drum solo while someone plays a keytar in the background 

Darkdeep - No 

Earth Metal - Just because you CAN daisy-chain three distortion pedals together doesn’t mean that you SHOULD. 

Star Metal - This is actually kind of a complicated subject and beyond the scope of this review 

Rootbop - no, which is a shame 

Meadowpunk - found one song about bitching about condos 

Solarpunk - Noting the above exception, most “-punk” musics are different genres with songs about/atmospherically designed to fit the aesthetic of what is more of a social/visual aesthetic 

 Moonpunk - See above, but if it existed it would sound like rockabilly 

 Hill N’ Roll - No 

 Stump Stomp -No, which is kind of a shame, really 

 Woodwind - literally a category of instruments

I LIED !!!! GET PRANKED

POST BELOW ME GET FUCKING WET

Decompressed: Nuke Ops, an experimental gaiden story of sorts for the original Decompressed, now has its core story elements COMPLETE! I’d like to invite anyone who enjoyed Decompressed to view Decompressed: Nuke Ops on any of the following current archive options:

An MSPFA archive, styled after the classic MSPA Homestuck and Problem Sleuth displays, can be viewed here. If you prefer reading Decompressed: Nuke Ops in the older styles, or just reminisce about a nobler era of grey paint and candy corn, I hope you’ll enjoy this!

A QuestDen archive, styled after the classic /tg/, /quest/, and general imageboard threads, can be found here. If you prefer reading Decompressed: Nuke Ops in the older styles, or just reminisce about a nobler era of metal glens and rubies, I think you’ll like this!

A Discord server, which is where I originally wrote this! As an experiment in the format of “Discord Adventure”, I’d call this a success!

like for cheese 😂

reblog for nutrient pellets 😼

Decompressed is dead. And yet, long live Decompressed.

This comic, adventure, quest, or whatever term best suits it, experienced an overabundance of ambition. Animation, interaction, flash complexities, and other matters eventually caused it to become difficult to manage while also managing life and employment. While it will remain as an archive going forward, I will explore smaller-scale, lower-ambition projects of a similar nature until I discover my best formula. Or until I can connect with animators, artists, and musicians to provide that backup more effectively. Are you a creative who wants to contribute? Why not get in contact!

If you would like to join the next venture in the Decompressed concept and setting, I am making an effort to experiment in the space of Discord (of course, these efforts will be archived in a public, accessible space, linked here. After all, this was an archive of imageboard posts to begin with). If you’re interested, why not visit and input a command again, for old time’s sake?

This one is about nuclear operatives. I hope you will enjoy it.
