Discussion on: Music Monday — What are you listening to? (Halloween Edition 🎃)

[Jo]

This thread, I like =)!

Horror is the bread and butter of my life.

So here's some stuff that I like to listen to when I czzzodde!

Songs from Movies:

Probably not the spookiest. They were either light in a dark place or an introduction to a mystery.

Game OSTs:

I listen to these when I code cause they generally have zero talking and are really chill...to me. I've heard them about 650xs each, so they don't take up a lot of processing space. But they occupy the void, which is good.

I'm late to the party, but I'll probably be listening to the Fear & Hunger soundtracks from now on too:

Songs from albums:

I like how off putting these songs are. I always feel a little creeped out when listening to them. I like that =)

*Sob, I don't know how the hey everyone is posting Youtube Markdown but I wanna know - gimme the secret!

**Wahaha! Unlocked said secret. Muwahhahaha!

Awww yeah! Loving see all these great recommendations, Jo. So glad you chimed in with all these! 🙌

And I got you on the embed! Here's how it's done:

{% embed https://... %}

For instance, your first link should look like this when you write it out:

{% embed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e15Uz_7fEms %}

When not written in a code snippet that'll looks like this:

Muwahahahaha! Thanks Michael~!

Is this for this site alone? Should I be looking up dev.to docs or something? I tried my hand at the markdown version but I think even that might have been bunk. This is good stuff. Hope it doesn't just help me.

Also, thanks for the jam-down thread. I love me some jams =)~

[Michael Tharrington]

Bahhh! I'm sorry I missed your question here.

So the embeds are indeed something that only works this way on DEV (to my knowledge!)... but otherwise our Markdown rules are like most other places I think.

Our Editor docs are a little scattered and some things could possibly be out of date... we need to do better! 😅

However, I can point you to a couple good resources:

First up, check out our Best Practices for Writing on DEV series here and in particular this post:

And also, give a read through our Editor Guide! I think that should be handy to ya.

One last thing, a DEV member wrote up a pretty cool helpful post earlier this week, check it out!

Super-duper no worries! I figure everything happens if/when it's supposed to happen. So I don't hold my breath about anything. And, to be honest, I rapid fire ask about 1,000 questions a day. Either to myself or others. So it's to be expected a majority fall to the wayside =)!

I'm gunna tab these and leaf over them in a bit. Thanks again for always being so helpful/kind!

[Michael Tharrington]

Hot damn! What a good list of horror-ble tunes. 🧀

I don't know many of these, but am def digging the first two suggestions... I'll keep making my way through the list. Halloween may be over, but I'm not over it. 👻

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I eat spookies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So if you ever want some spook-ables, hit me up! Hahahaha!

Oh, while I haven't looped this mindlessly recently this a a lofi mixtape that I really like to put on and focus with. I've been doing OSTs, but this is still my bread & butter.

I also fall into a meditative state with this on, even though it's got a smidgen of wambulance lyrics. But that's not so much spoopy, as it's the space I go when I listen to some good spoopy music =)! (It is pensive though, so that could sort of be...spoopy.)

p.s. - A fun song about death
