why the hell did we just suddenly get the minish village music stuck in our heads for no reason at all

it took quite a while to even figure out what music it was

we should play minish cap again sometime

re: watching gdq recordings, question, misophonia 

Is there anything you can do to apply a pop filter to a youtube video because I want to watch this run but _augh_

watching gdq recordings 

The twilight princess runner really needs a pop filter on their microphone

I wonder if GDQ ever has problems with people trying to steal things, considering how valuable some of the games people bring are

why exactly in super mario 64 does mario's hat disappear when he goes out of bounds

I'm sure it'd be terrible but the combination of heat and cold would be interesting maybe

what would it taste like if something contained both menthol and capsaicin?

agdq, question, please answer? 

So we're watching gdq recordings and one of them is a sort of joke game, and the runner commented a lot on the music but we have no idea what exactly is so funny about the music, could someone please explain? (it's a short and entertaining run, we just want to know the context of some of the laughter)

Felthry's VGM Selection, long 

Following on from yesterday's selection of Boktai music, a triple today:

Pile Driver / Purify / Death Rattle
Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand, Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django, and Boktai 3: Sabata's Counterattack (slight variations played in each game, but the same music underneath)
Kazuki Muraoka, Masashi Watanabe, Norihiko Hibino, Shuichi Kobori (soundtrack composers; individual credits unknown)

Pile Driver: youtu.be/k-_gdDzp_zE
Purify: youtu.be/wsT0STMCCvQ
Death Rattle: youtu.be/DkoEX-_Hen8

These three pieces have to be taken together in context: You've just defeated the boss, an Immortal, but unless you use concentrated sunlight to purify them, they'll just return in fairly short order.

Pile Driver plays when you've gotten the boss's remains in position in the Solar Pile Driver, a machine specifically made for purifying Immortals, but before you've turned it on. Its tense, repeating notes remind you that you're about to finish them off, but you can't relax yet.

Purify plays once you've started the pile driver. That Immortal won't just sit quiet while you try to destroy them! They're doing everything they can to kill you and to shut down the Pile Driver. This music has a driving feel to it, pushing you along to finish what you started.

Once you get their health down low enough, the frantic Death Rattle starts playing as your foe becomes desperate. They're not going down without a fight! But by the time they reach this point, it's already too late; the Pile Driver soon seals their fate... too soon, much of the time--this piece loops quickly but even still you may not hear a full loop if you're fighting well!

it occasionally still feels weird to us how difficult it is to prove the jordan curve theorem, which states, in simple terms, that every sufficiently circle-like curve has an inside and an outside

It's so obviously true, but proving it is a mess

you know, there are a surprising number of things that are just normal British things that we thought were just things JK Rowling made up for the wizarding world

food, impulse spending 

The grocery store had these really good dark chocolate mint truffles on clearance and...... I _may_ have purchased an irresponsible amount of chocolate

we will probably give some of them to coworkers and stuff so it's not like we're going to just eat an absurd amount of chocolate but still.
