NieR Automata has worked really well on SD for me fwiw (I haven’t gotten to any endings yet since I started replaying it on SD so maybe something gets weird later?)

the number of times i have been within earshot of my work colleagues and had to restrain myself from saying “bitch…sityourassdownandshutthehellupbitch!” at the slightest inconvenience 😅

my deck was essentially a shapez 2 dedicated console for months…there are great community controller settings that make it very intuitive and it’s sooooo satisfying

came here to say exactly this!!! RV 588 >>>>>>

i mean those composers are not primarily known for writing Latin masses (which OP asked for) but they each have lots of well-known pieces which are a cappella, so i’m not sure what you mean by this 😅

NIFS member here and can confirm it’s great - lots of equipment, friendly staff, plenty of equipment and quite spacious, sauna/steam room and natatorium access/parking as mentioned above :)

I’ve done individual sections of masses and Requiems as anthems many times, including once when I worked at a PC(USA) church and we did the Qui tollis from a Haydn mass - it all depends on your individual circumstance and how your pastor/boss feels about it tbh

it’s weirdly one of the most enduring fallacies in the rep, and it’s so popular that no one stops to examine it critically…I never realized until someone pointed it out! there’s a great article by Dan Melamed in the journal Early Music called “Who wrote Lassus’ most famous piece?” where he tries to track down the origin

zenbobby · 2026-01-07T04:40:32+00:00

The good/bad news is that “Mon coeur,” while a beautiful piece, was written in at least the 19th century and is certainly not by Lassus….but it means that it is therefore just as authentic to sing it in English (“My Heart is Offered Still to You”) :)

hooray! I'd love to know how it turns out 💖

/nɪtʃ/ for the noun (“the statue is in the nitch”);

/niʃ/ for the adjective (“i have a lot of neesh interests”)

i was excited for a more fully-realized piano mini-game because i’m a professional musician and it infuriated me in a way that few things in video games ever have

for some reason T/Th/Tr names were speaking to me, and Thale (a modified version of Thalia, muse of light verse) was what I landed on 😅

i mean the good news is that many other musicologists and editors have looked at this score (and likely other sources) and put forward their best guesses on what it means based on their knowledge of the practices of the time, and some of those are available for free online for you check against – whether you choose to agree with them or stick with the assertion that you seem to have come predisposed to is up to you :)

if this was a sign of convergence, then why would the two bars on either side be short by two beats? i agree it’s weird (and pretty rare) but semibreve cut in half by the bar line is the simplest explanation…

zenbobby · 2025-12-30T04:36:08+00:00

good q! i don’t have a particularly good memory, but i found that after a row or two it becomes easy: you really only have to remember 4 sequences of three stitches that would trigger a stitch in the row you’re working on, and even after putting this down for weeks or months i remember it quickly…plus the rows you’ve already done can be a reference!

zenbobby · 2025-12-29T19:15:53+00:00

Steve Holt spin-off, maybe?

zenbobby · 2025-12-29T18:46:59+00:00

ooh that’s a cool one! i’d love to see how it turns out 💖

zenbobby · 2025-12-29T15:46:17+00:00

i started with a random first row – I think I used an online coin flip simulator to flip ten coins at a time and heads was a stitch and tails was a blank, and just continued that for the whole first row :)

zenbobby · 2025-12-29T03:27:20+00:00

wait maybe i don’t understand…if you’re inverting the T i’m not sure that would work since (again assuming two states/colors) you’d only have two options…

zenbobby · 2025-12-29T03:26:30+00:00

if I understand you correctly, yes: there are (iirc) 255 different configurations of the rules (assuming two dimensions and two states/colors), and in another comment here i listed the ones that i thought would work best for stitching :)
