Off-topic (as I don't have the knowledge to intelligently comment on the concept): all I can think when I hear the name "Valen" is Babylon 5. I wonder if it's a coincidence or a deliberate reference?
This is a bit off topic, but since you mentioned your guide: I hope this doesn't come off as hostile, but the guide you linked contains a number of inaccuracies and oversimplifications - it's kind of naive in an…
I don't think you are wrong, per se, but at the same time the skill level of late-game (or even mid-game) encounters has also been increasing. Plus, they usually aim to strike a balance between less intensive but also…
Afaik there wasn't a single widely accepted standard in the Baroque era, but rather different places had different tunings, with the "normal A" varying roughly between 400 and 500 Hz.
But what if Tony the Pony comes?
>For classical students, theory doesn't really start until college. Well, unless, you are studying here in Hungary, for example, where it starts pretty much right away... (though it is a separate class).
"Normie" and "happens to own one or two extra homes" seem a bit contradictory to me... And doesn't everyone who invests in something that makes them money exploit economic conditions?
How does one become a "student of floating point math idiosyncracies"?
Oooh, I really liked ToriBash! I didn't play for very long for whatever reason, but I did think it was a creative and fun game.
You have made an interesting point but I think your arguments would have more force if you exercised some restraint in categorically stating your opinions about what is wrong and in what way as facts, basically. Anyway,…
Hi, when you say you don't know which fingers to move do you mean within the context of a piece of music, or just the scales themselves? For the latter, I can give you some advice (though if you search something like…
I mean, Bartók is really not that random: polytonality, pentatonic and octatonic stuff, whole-tone scales etc. are all things you can practice and put into work in his music. (You can argue that Schönberg is even less…

Reminds me of the monks in the third season of Babylon 5. Who says you can't both be an IT person and a cleric?
Obviously, the worst song of all time is "The Most Unwanted Song" by Dave Soldier.
Yes, I'm Hungarian, and I'm not even mad (pun intended) about "mad" matching "madzag". I find that we ourselves sometimes conflate characters and letters, so many people's first thought would be that "madzag" is six…
I've been binging Branch Education the last week or so, and I concur that the videos are exceptionally well made. Some commenters noticed one or two mistakes in some of them, but nothing major.
I've encountered an old safe which required two keys to open, one of them turning the "wrong way" - perhaps it's an attempt to slow down a possible burglar by making it "surprising"?
Maybe a billion-dollar company has more money to spend on lawsuits than artists do? Doesn't make them the good guys, but I'm not surprised that it's them doing it.
"Please place the Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube on the Aperture Science Super-colliding Super-button".
Addendum: some orchestras tune to a slightly different A (442 Hz is common I think), and the oboe player often gives a B-flat as well for those instruments where that's more natural.
Nanomachines, son.
Tangentially, modern educational paradigms also characterize learning as a process of construction happening within the student's mind, rather than a transfer of knowledge.
I've been working on a toy compiler on-and-off, which is basically just a "reinvent-the-wheel simulator" since I really haven't looked at much existing literature. A very janky, bug-prone part of it is a sort-of mini…
One game I've played and thought of as similar to some sort of simultaneous chess was Toribash. It's a turn-based fighting game where you control your character via contracting/extending muscle pairs on a simplified…
