@noiob oh, those use proper color circuitry, don't they?
-F

@hi_cial i'm glad you're unsick at least!
-F

how did the apple ][ do color in PAL regions? does artifact color work on PAL?
-F

@thr33h3ad3ddragon I like how much people seem to relate to the weird complicated ones
-F

@LexYeen Hi, yena!
-F

whenever you say the word hyena, you are also saying hi to the yena

today we learned: apparently intel's "intel inside" logo was originally red

@packbat sleep well

@hi_cial so i'd rather not give them money if i can avoid it. it's entirely possible FFVII remake will get a steam release at the same time too though, i don't know if they did one of their timed exclusive things, they just do those a lot
-F

@hi_cial it's run by a rather shady company, though we don't know all the details. we've heard accusations (no idea about the veracity thereof) of them encouraging children who play one of their popular games (that fortnight game you hear about a lot) to harass their competitors, and we've heard (somewhat more ...well the first one is believable too but this is more so) that they do predatory marketing stuff, encouraging FOMO and impulse buys, and Ubisoft-like "buy this useless stuff" junk
-F

@hi_cial well the ad says "launching on epic games store" and epic games store has a reputation for 1) being terrible and 2) getting these timed exclusivity deals with things

@ziphi I kinda think there just isn't any really good musical notation. the standard stuff does a decent job of showing what the music is (and it's very flexible) but it's apparently really hard for people to learn, and the percussion extension for it is really wonky
-F

@ziphi Huh, that's an interesting system. Still feels weird! But I guess it's probably intuitive to people who play guitar
-F

@ziphi I thought the double bar one was for percussion.

Tablature looks really hard to read, but I imagine it's way easier if you're used to it. ....does that staff have six lines?
-F

@ziphi (I recognise a couple of the ones on the bottom as old versions of the C clef (the symbol for both alto and tenor clefs)
-F

@ziphi What are the doubled treble clef, the rectangular one, and the two that just say TAB?

not to mention all those weird/archaic ones at the bottom
-F

@ziphi i wonder what other arcane clefs are out there

we know about the tenor one, and of course the bass and treble and alto

are there others?
-F

@hi_cial oooh

...is that going to just be stuck on epic for years
-F

@ziphi we don't come across it often but it's the only one we're good at reading, because we played viola in high school
