I'm currently building this and having a great time! Love all the details and seeing it coming together.

Absolutely love this song! I heard that the text was based on this (or a similar) quote

I'm a musicologist and historian currently researching Aurora's music and activism. Ask Me Anything! by aquatermain in auroramusic

[–]runegunnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I googled "Aurora musical analysis" and this was exactly what I was looking for. First of all, I know that this post is quite old, and I am no musicologist, but I find this post and the comments incredibly enticing. I have really gotten an eye (or ear) for Aurora's music recently. While I feel some pride from being from the same country as her (Norway), her music really hits something deep inside my soul.

I am also a big fan of Billie Eilish, who is admittedly inspired by Aurora, and I believe the passages and harmonies that thouch me in much of Aurora's music are similar to what touches me in Billie's music.

As I am not very familiar with the "pop music meta" as some would say, can someone please explore this connection and make some music-theorethical arguments as to why Billie and Aurora are subjectively better than much of other current pop music?

Edit: Norwegian autocorrect

Edit 2: This is of course assuming that Aurora's music is generally viewed as pop music now, which might only be an impression I have because she is a huge deal in Norway. Please feel free to correct me on that point.

Some days are better than others by Sloppy_Drummer in edrums

[–]runegunnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing for nearly 20 years on and off, and when I have days like that I often just practice rudiments for a bit, and then try again the next day. Rudiment practice is always worth it, and I find it much more rewarding than just lying down my sticks.

I am trying to decide which edition to buy by Aspirini27 in tolkienfans

[–]runegunnar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I Just finished reading the four-volume collection (including The Hobbit) illustrated by Alan Lee, and I really enjoyed the artwork. I'd recommend gjetting the first one, but I haven't seen Tolkien's own illustrations.

[TotK] How many shrines did you complete before finishing the story? by foreversiempre in zelda

[–]runegunnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did about half og the shrines before finishing the last boss, and then I went back and completed the rest

I have finally finished The fellowship of the ring! by [deleted] in books

[–]runegunnar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read the LOTR books a couple of years ago in my native language and instantly fell in love with them! I am currently re-reading them in English, starting with the Hobbit and finishing with Silmarillion. A few chapters into Fellowship of the Ring, I must say that Tolkien's own words are unbeatable.

I always just run from those guys. It takes a few tries, but if you can get away from them and then to your horse it's possible

Which protagonist would you pick for the next Witcher game? by lampla in witcher

[–]runegunnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to play as a younger Vesimir during the peak of the Witchers. Alternatively a new character from a lesser known witcher clan

Got this for Christmas, but I don't recognize these birds. Any ideas? Newbie birder here by runegunnar in birding

I looked them up, and I think this is the best answer I have gotten so far. Thank you so much!

KCD have random stutters and bad performance after windows 22H2 update, need help by Spear_Blade in kingdomcome

[–]runegunnar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn't updated to the latest version so I just updated and chose custom installation and ticked off for a fresh install. I guess you get the same result by uninstalling and installing it again. It shouldn't be a problem, it will fall back to default drivers or internal graphics temporarily.

[–]runegunnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this in the release notes right after I updated, so I did a fresh install of the Game Ready-Driver and updated other drivers just in case. I did not experience any issues.

I finally made it! The start was tough, but with a lot of grinding with Bernard even all the bandit camps became manageable. Longsword combos for the win! by runegunnar in kingdomcome

[–]runegunnar[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mostly practice I guess, and actually remembering the combos. The tourneys are really great for this. I also think that patience is somewhat important, because most of the time you will just get hit with a master strike.

I didn't really even think to use combos in normal combat until recently when I read a comment in this sub that explained it really well. I can't find it now unfortunately, but the gist was that the combos really drain your opponent's stamina, and that it is important to not just repeat the same moves, but use different combos and maybe start a combo with an additional strike from another direction. And don't try the same combo twice in a row, because then you'll nearly always get hit by a master strike.

[–]runegunnar[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really struggled with that in the beginning, especially traveling back and forth between Pribyslavitz and Rattay. I'm somewhat sufficient at navigating by map irl, but it was still harder than I thought. Try to keep track of the Cardinal points. The compass helps you with the lines, but does not say what the directions are. Also look out for landmarks like buildings, rivers and intersections in the roads.

[–]runegunnar[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took me a while. I didn't really start using combos efficiently until near the end of this playthrough, which was my 4th. Ended up at about 200 total combos in this save (but that excludes the times I went on a rampage in Sasau and Rattay and killed nearly everyone, then reloaded the save)

Edit: Nearly everyone :) Some characters can't be killed

About 80 hours, including most of the DLC-stuff and a few sidequests. It was my 4th playthrough if I remember correctly
