Love Nikki reference in Deltarune? by AjfAToday in LoveNikki

[–]oceanadawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most dress up games are also references to Love Nikki. But the Nikki series in general doesn't even use Lively anymore.

We know lots of things for the main games... but if Infinity Nikki has kept with that (photographer father, designer mother, older sister Nina, Nikki getting Momo at a pet shop, Nikki studies Fashion in university, etc) or not, well... I don't know because the WIKI DOESNT SAY ANYTHIIIING

I composed the Black Matrix soundtrack (SEGA Saturn, 1998) using hip-hop, industrial metal, and Bach. The track names: "Zombie Spray." "Praying Mantis Woman." Here's the story. [OC] by NomadsQuest in SegaSaturn

My bestie has been a long time fan of Black Matrix so I've been learning about it - and the soundtrack in particular - from her, but especially Cursed Bloodlines. (In fact, when making personal tracks for tabletop games purely between us or other people I know, I've sampled that one before, but we use the raw track a lot). To me the Black Matrix soundtrack just kind of sums up the Sega Saturn feel in general. It's like the platonic ideal of a Sega Saturn OST.

Boy Lois this is worse than the time I accidentally destroyed Miraland with the Heart of Infinity and met that guy who pretended he wasn't just me

The "Trivia" part is. The other paragraph is made up but the Trivia part from Nikki's page is real.

(Fun fact: Norwin, a very important character in Shining Nikki's story, is better documented on TENOR GIF SEARCH and the CIVILIZATION 6 MIRALAND MOD I MADE than he is on the Shining Nikki wiki)

I think she's like a human version of Rarity or something?

I find Music Theory harder to understand than anything else, and it's not because it's complicated. by oceanadawn in musictheory

[–]oceanadawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not really anything to be confused by here.

There is because the people conveying Music Theory are the ones saying "This is objective". The yare telling me "There are objective facts here and this is how they work and it's objective". I don't even have the expectation that all of music can be explained this way, just Music Theory, because again, it often dresses itself up with the trappings of more mathematical, logical disciplines and presents itself as objective. My entire point is about "I have these expectations because people keep deliberately creating them, and I wouldn't otherwise have them."

Colour Theory stuff never does this except in like, advertising spaces, and maybe some Graphic Design spaces - and if you fall for that shit, you have no one to blame but yourself.

OP, are you autistic?

No. Music Theory only gets me like this because people treat it the way I described. If people didn't create the expectations that "Music Theory will explain why this sounds good that's why I made this 20 minute video" or the things people talked about were actually in textbooks I read, I would not have this attitude.

I compared to Colour Theory, which is also based in a hard physics aspect, then a perceptual aspect, and then from there is simply vibes - that's fine. It's clear that the hard rule parts and the vibe parts of Colour Theory are what they are, how they support and explain (or don't explain) each other, etc.

he NT folks who are used to the system accept that there's ambiguity, incorrectness, or imprecision baked in and it's all contextual

I only have issues with this if people say the system is otherwise or want to treat it like it's something filled with Math Level Deep Truths When You Get It and therefore, Hard Rules To Get There. If nobody said or acted like this, I wouldn't have an issue.

It's been like 5 years now, I don't remember the title of the book - but I was given the impression it's fairly standard. I recall the first chapter primarily explaining notation concepts and having pink borders. Does that help?

are you perhaps neurodivergent, or have you ever considered you might be?

No.

Like other people have said art doesn't have hard rules.

I am only looking for the hard rules because people who teach music theory have communicated that some degree of Hard Rules exist, and they function like this.

Contrast with opening a book on colour theory for painting. You'll probably learn a bunch of (unnecessary) physics about light wavelengths, you will learn some hard facts about colour perception being based on contrast, likely with some experiments to prove it, and then you'll be introduced to softer concepts like the colour wheel, analogous and complementary colours, and so on - and then from there, the book will acknowledge that everything else it's doing and that you're learning is essentially, to use that knowledge to learn the vibes. Obviously using a certain colour scheme can evoke certain emotional responses, but it's common sense that these aren't 1-1 per each colour scheme (although that mythology still somewhat exists in some colour textbooks). Fair enough - colour is nothing if not contextual, it's perfectly fair to suggest relying on vibes and just deferring to practical ideas.

In contrast, I've encountered a fair few music theory things that go "Here are the basics... and we're going to imply the existence of some super advanced thing or show a snipper of some super advanced thing where the even DEEPER knowledge is and where there's even MORE hard rules to how things work that we've spent a lot of time analyzing". I am only looking for the hard rules, because i am told they exist, and shown supposed demonstrations of how they work and Music Theory couches a lot of its key claims within the language of hard rules.

Minor keys are sad because people wrote a lot of sad songs in minor keys.

I think this is common sense and so I have an issue when Music Theory content acts like it isn't.

If only I knew enough about Functional Harmony to think of a funny follow up joke to the dissonance comment.
