it seems like a pretty benign factoid, then you think about it a bit and it seems really strange, then you think about it a bit more and it makes perfect sense

trivia that we enjoy a lot: "second street" is the most common street name in some US states

people talk about trans rights a lot but what about trans lefts

someone who knows stuff about the Japanese language: what exactly is meant to be conveyed by a title that says something like "Title of Thing ~More Title~"? it seems very common in japanese music titles

why are basic tasks like going shopping and eating lunch so hard lately

well fuck, just realized a game we were contemplating getting for $40 now goes for about $100

what the hell happened that everyone wants dragon quest vi now

it's actually nidoran venus and nidoran mars

the fact that inverse kinematics is computationally easy never ceases to feel wrong

oh, huh. apparently the world record for super mario 64 120-star speedruns was set during an ESA event recently

If our existing musical knowledge matters here--we have past experience playing viola in a school orchestra, and we know bits and pieces (but little to nothing concrete) about music theory. We do not have perfect pitch, or even relative pitch, though we understand that relative pitch at least can be trained

Anyone on here know much about music? Kinda want to try to fill in the gaps in our knowledge of the arranging process--every time previously we've had access to sheet music but this time we're thinking of doing arrangements of pieces that don't have sheet music available that we can find.

Proposal: The name for games in the same category as Tetris, Dr. Mario, and other games involving blocks falling from above that you position is "Tetrisoid"

to clarify: we suspected Airy was lying about things pretty early on and so tried breaking a crystal in either the second or third world. turns out there's a finite number of worlds before you're forced into the true ending, it doesn't just loop. we'd assumed it would eventually just loop until you figured out Airy's plan and broke a crystal, but the true ending doesn't involve breaking crystals at all

or maybe it does, i don't know, but breaking a crystal when you're supposed to just activate it isn't the right way to get to it

hmm. apparently the ending we got for Bravely Default wasn't the true ending

maybe we should go try to get the true ending sometime

the Ys series has really good music.......
