Music is all about repetition, but this piece takes it to the extreme without being annoying. The main driving force is a four-bar melody from the strings, the percussion doesn't change much, and the main melody is an occasionally-repeated slow brass line only six bars long. Very little changes between repetitions, yet Uematsu manages to make this an _interesting_ feature, not a boring one.

It's a fascinating technique.

One of the finest pieces of Final Fantasy music, this plays as you approach a particular story boss in IX, even replacing the battle music for encounters in this period.

While percussion does keep the beat, the forward momentum mainly comes from a repeating four-bar melodic phrase in the strings section, while the brass plays a slow, dignified melody.

technically everything that ever happens is a coincidence, it's just that some of them are less random than others.

What exactly is "detroit become human" anyway?

*gags* Someone decided it would be perfectly fine, in the middle of summer, when it's 36 degrees celcius out, to just leave full jugs of milk sitting out in the parking lot where they dropped them

Our car is now getting repaired. Hopefully this doesn't take too terribly long.

Is there a good Mastodon client for desktop that's low on memory usage?

What happened to settings menus having a "confirm" or "apply" or just "ok" button?

I don't like the ambiguity of just closing a settings dialog.

nsfw?? probably not. weird mental stuff, story idea 

suddenly thinking about the idea of some kind of... matching jewelry or something, that when two people put it on it merges their minds together into one person in two bodies--and taking it off afterward returns them to how they were. And thinking about the plot of a story being two close friends try it out (perhaps accidentally?), learn to love it, and get upset that they can't make it permanent

yeah if people could just like, put sgdq stuff under a CW that would be great!
some of us don't like having their timelines flooded with contextless posts if they don't watch it
