ShuffleComp 2025

[Lurker (CEO of Defenestration)]

Though I haven’t gotten an answer about what songs are allowed, I figure it’s fine since I just went back and looked at the original Shufflecomp rules, which the itch.io page says the 2025 rules are based on. The original rules include this:

What is acceptable content for submitted songs?
The basic assumption, in this as in most IF events, is that participants will be mature enough to cope with adult themes and language. That said, use some common sense in making your selections: you don’t know who’s going to be listening to them. I enjoy listening to Celph Titled or The Prophet Capleton once in a while; but I’m aware that, for a substantial number of people, that music would be pretty much the equivalent of a flaming bag of dogshit on their doorstep. Be considerate in your choices. I’ll include warnings with any seriously objectionable content when I send the lists out; but the fact that I’m doing this doesn’t get you off the hook.

I looked up Celph Titled, and he’s a rapper with very explicit lyrics. So, I’m assuming this above quote is the general ruleset we’re operating under, which means I have good and bad news for everyone participating. The good news is that I have no plans to submit anything explicit or NSFW, like Celph Titled, to the songlist. The bad news is that though I swore off Five Nights at Freddy’s this year, I have a laundry list of other MatPat-tier interests and nothing can stop me from submitting their songs, which I will do now instead of being reasonable and waiting for clarification because impatience is my cardinal sin when it comes to forcing awful music upon strangers. Shufflecomp’s random enemy encounters are still a go.
