I actually rarely ever use major chords, I honestly don't really like the sound of those, nor minor chords in chiptunes. The fifth and fourth chords, and root+fifth+octave, I tend to use a lot tho. Maybe too much...
Diminished ones (you mean root+4th+7th, right?), I don't think I've ever really used in any of my songs. Maybe I should try it.
I'm pretty bad at scales and music theory in general, however, I have tried out the "church modes", for some of my earlier songs, and I'm especially a fan of mixolydian, actually, however, I don't find it has that "rocking" chiptune feel I was trying to create here. Another ones that I'm great fans of are C# minor, D minor, and F minor as far as I remember.
But mostly I just make tracks to have fun, just playing whatever I can think of off the top of my head, and the theory kinda takes a backseat to that. And I'm ALWAYS thinking in octaves and fifths :P
I'd like to use your advice in a song someday but , it should be in a piano composition or something first, not a chiptune I think. :)
Hmm, I'll keep it in mind, I guess.

Thanks! But I find it sorta funny that this is really the best, it's not very imaginative, I feel. :/
Thanks!! ^^
Not really, I'd say
Personally, I'm pretty confident that the cops won't suddenly show up outside my door
Thank you very much!!!
The egdes could be a bit better, a bit more creative, I think . ^^
You're welcome ^^
