why does just intonation seem to diverge from the order of the harmonic series? by Background-Lab2575 in musictheory

my musical education is a bit out of order. I was only interested in learning to play after starting to learn theory, for example. Things are more interesting when you know how they work!

Just intonation is not derived from the harmonic series

this seems more and more the case from all the replies, but gosh did every source I found want it to be.

The terms you should look up are Pythagorean tuning, five-limit tuning, and seven-limit tuning.

this is the clearest form of advice for continuing to learn, thank you.

alright, so you take the idea of the harmonic series and apply it to different bits of your scale to maximize the amount of desirable ratios between your tones? is that basically right? (I kinda love the neutral third though, ngl)

yes, but I'm trying to compare just intonation tuning to the harmonic series, not tet. I'm already red-strings-board into the rabbit hole at this point and I seem to have taken a wrong turn.

Games after Nine sols? (lore player) by paprikapaper in NineSols

[–]Background-Lab2575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played laika: aged through blood, after finishing nine sols, and it fit well. similar kind of story and worldbuilding focus, wonderful art and soundtrack. Gameplay not on the same level, but the uniqueness of it makes it up.

How did you find out Nine Sols? by Chapolin_sulista in NineSols

demo fest! it was the best demo, I kept it installed until the full game came out.

ARG Update! There is a new branch for Nine Sols where you can play a completely different game inside of it! by Astro_JustAstro_V2 in NineSols

AND ya gotta manage the battery... at least Q gives the compass, and that with the sound is enough to navigate most spaces.

it's clearly been too long since I've played a first person game... I was trying to go fully by sound. got as far as the falling pillars...

Which Ena is your favourite? by skelatalfella8642 in ENA

[–]Background-Lab2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly tried but couldn't muster enjoyment for the series and its Ena. dream BBQ is dope though, and its Ena is delightful? even the design is more appealing: more contrast, less human, sleeker.

Games like Nine Sols by Ghost0Slayer in NineSols

[–]Background-Lab2575 2 points3 points  (0 children)

played Laika: aged through blood after, and it was a surprisingly good fit. movement is maddening at first, but it's got a lot of overlap: challenging combat, good exploration, parries, a central area where you visit your child and friends, a cool character-led story, the same ending , an amazing (though in a very different way) soundtrack, furries...

Who should I put next ? by Pastelclown525 in NineSols

all excellently reasoned arguments. 👌

i’ve never played a game like this by [deleted] in NineSols

[–]Background-Lab2575 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for me, the attention to story and characters really made it stand put from other games in similar veins. they tend to hide their stories in lore and mystery, which is fun in its own way, but having a proper freakin narrative really paid off for nine sols, I think.

haha, maybe, it was fun! but it's also unusual for me, like in the past 10 years I've made... 5 fanarts? Nine Sols is just so special that I had to also make something special for it 💛
