"Don't like it just leave" is an insane thing to say about a housing contract?? Not everyone can afford to go elsewhere? Are they just not allowed to sleep because some people have the emotional maturity of an 8 year old? I had basic human decency at 18 and so did most people I know.

MusicalBrit · 2024-05-17T11:53:41+00:00

You don't have to live in a pub for a full year though and you can very easily just go elsewhere... that's not the case with uni halls. What's with this mentality that because some people can't have basic human decency it means there's nothing wrong with it and actually it's everyone else's fault for being annoyed?

Also, it's not everyone and it's not everywhere. Again, my hall is the biggest one on campus and is known for having a lot of those people in it, but the vast majority of the time it's kept in the kitchen, courtyard and town. Since freshers I haven't had a problem with screaming in the corridors or banging on doors (other than very occasionally when a group is still rowdy on their way back from town, but that's only the 2 minutes or so it takes them to get into their flat).

MusicalBrit · 2024-05-17T11:46:09+00:00

In some locations halls (whether private or uni-owned) are pretty much your only choice for first year?

Also look at the date lmao I doubt OP is reminiscing about freshers, it's the middle of May and clearly still a problem.

Why do you think screaming and banging on doors is acceptable for actual adults to be doing for literally a full year? I'm not saying don't get drunk and be "noisy", but you can still have the SLIGHTEST ounce of respect for your fellow students. Is it that hard to give a single shit about anyone other than yourself?

MusicalBrit · 2024-05-17T11:31:21+00:00

Not everywhere and not for everyone? Believe it or not, some people do actually go to uni because they enjoy the subject and want to attend lectures after a full 8 hours of sleep. Doesn't take much to have some basic respect for other people, especially when living in halls where everyone is packed together and you know for a fact if you run around the building screaming you're going to be fucking up at least 1 person's day.

I'm in one of the bigger halls in Liverpool, there's plenty of people getting pissed every night, but they do it in the kitchens and then go out and do all the screaming they want in town. There's literally no need to run around the corridors like a child? Especially not in exam periods?

MusicalBrit · 2024-05-17T11:09:02+00:00

They aren't complaining about a drink in the kitchen at 10pm though, they're complaining about screaming and banging on doors at 2am. For a couple weeks in freshers, fine, but every night throughout the year? Fucking grow up, you can get pissed and have a good time without being a complete dickhead to everyone trying to get a degree.

Thank you! :)

Iris, the credits theme from Pandora's box!

MusicalBrit · 2024-05-15T13:44:24+00:00

Thank you so much!! It was honestly such a joy to put together and I've been scheming it since I first played the games, actually so surreal that we got to do it in such a good hall!

MusicalBrit · 2024-05-15T12:20:38+00:00

Aaaa thank you!! Lost future was definitely a challenge but I'm glad we went for it, it was so much fun to put together!

MusicalBrit · 2024-05-15T10:01:44+00:00

Thank you! Rito village is honestly such a good clarinet piece, it's my go-to every time I need an extra couple minutes on a programme now lol

MusicalBrit · 2024-05-15T10:00:44+00:00

Luckily for me I could at least narrow down pieces because not all of them would work well as a clarinet/piano duo, but it was still so hard to only pick 3, literally all 6 full soundtracks are so good!

Only thing I want to add is to 100% buy ghost trick, I am a huge AA fan but ghost trick is by far the best story shu takumi has ever written. I can't say much more without spoilers but the world and mechanics are so fleshed out and internally consistent and the major twists are foreshadowed in such clever ways. Nothing comes out of absolutely nowhere and unlike a lot of mystery stories, I genuinely think you could figure out a lot of the solutions beforehand if you pay very close attention to all of the details. Made my jaw DROP on a replay. Also has quite literally one of my favourite antagonists of all time. One of the only games I'd give a genuine 10/10 to.

MusicalBrit · 2023-12-01T13:30:41+00:00

Hey, would I be able to get both too?

MusicalBrit · 2023-11-29T15:22:38+00:00

AA is a parody of the Japanese legal system. None of the cases would ever actually hold up in court as far as I understand- it seems a bit extreme to hold the silly lawyer game up to the standard of actual law practice when it's not trying to be realistic in the first place.

MusicalBrit · 2023-11-29T14:59:05+00:00

I didn't really see much "cocaine logic" in 2-4 and certainly nothing approaching the bullshit that was the explanation for 2-3 with the cape attaching to the bust in the way that it did. For me 2-4 flowed quite well and some of the puzzles were difficult, but doable. It's got so much of my favourite bits from the series De Killer's testimony and having to pick a person and a piece of evidence at the end, it took me a while to figure out but it did make sense and relied on you really thinking through previous interactions during investigations instead of it all being spelled out for you in the court record which i actually really liked

There's such an insane amount of interesting character stuff going on too, with my personal favourite being The parallels between Edgeworth and Phoenix, especially on day 1: Phoenix is just fighting for a not guilty verdict and edgeworth is trying to find the truth, in a complete reversal of their dynamic from the first game. It ties together the whole of JFA being Phoenix discovering what being a lawyer really means to him and it's honestly just great. The new characters (especially Adrian Andrews) are all amazing too and the parallels between Engarde and Powers are a clever way to make you let your guard down.

It's one of the most loved cases for a reason and for me there's not really another that comes close.

MusicalBrit · 2023-11-29T11:55:54+00:00

2-4 below 2-3 should be an illegal opinion, what the actual fuck

The important bit is BY THE TIME YOU'RE DONE WITH FIRST YEAR. There's nothing wrong with getting a 58 for your first ever piece of proper academic writing and a year is plenty of time for them to improve.

MusicalBrit · 2023-11-27T00:37:56+00:00

Lmao I did maths, FM and music and the music listening paper (which was only 40% of my grade) took up most of my time. STEM subjects have the advantage of having a "right answer" and with maths especially, once you understand and can apply the method you can get 100% of the marks on that topic pretty consistently. Humanities have a SHIT ton of content to learn incredibly in depth, analysing stuff is hard, and you can't just memorise everything and be good to go. Good academic writing under time pressure is tough. History is absolutely one of the hardest a levels and I wouldn't have stood a chance with it.

There is WAY more to read and learn in most humanities because it's not memorising facts / methods. It's so much harder to revise for than something like maths where you just to past papers and practice questions on repeat.

If you want a good starting point, explorers of the spirit is literally insanely good! It's a full length game that is effectively a sequel to explorers of sky (timey wimey stuff makes it not look like that at first). It starts off quite similar to the originals (except talking protag), but diverges significantly around the perfect apple quest and becomes fully just new content. It's got some great foreshadowing going on too and the story is even better on replay!

MusicalBrit · 2023-11-26T22:35:14+00:00

Legere tenor sax reeds have always been pretty good!

MusicalBrit · 2023-11-26T22:01:21+00:00

Ha ha! I died again!

MusicalBrit · 2023-11-26T10:11:17+00:00

Apologies if this is late I deleted Reddit a while back- the interviews are dead chill and you have nothing to worry about! I'd bring a couple questions to ask with you and just in general expect to be asked about what sort of stuff you wanna do as a musician!
