... so it's a organ transcription by Bach of ... Opera? Operation? 3, Number 8 (which I have no idea how works. Is it Op. 3 or Op 8? Op 11?). That's done by Vivaldi? Your words confuse me further ;_;

Or... it's a transcription by Bach for two violins, and a basso continuo by Vivaldi?

Y'know, I'm not sure if it's terrifying or not, but that made me realize someone, somewhere, out there, probably makes sodas mixed with either spiders or (possibly diluted?) spider venom. I mean... people eat them. And you put, like, fruit and stuff in drinks sometimes.

So I'm thinking. You cook the spider. Marinate it in fruit juice for a while. Stick it in a drink. Is that a thing? Has someone done it?

... what does it taste like?

Huh. So what exactly is BWV 593? M'not really parsing what that wikipedia article is trying to get at, unfortunately  :-\

Though yeah, translation. Forgot about that. Shame.

You'll probably want to move this over to Other Games, or Forum Games and Roleplaying. GD's not really the place for it.

Holy hell, that actually is one of Bach's pieces. One I've heard, even.

... makes me wonder if the language back then was such that, well. That.

Other Games / Re: Twisted Tower - Castlevania meets Diablo

Two year necro because a public alpha has been released! Apparently back in September, but... yeah. Downloading now, haven't yet played, etc., so forth, so on. Figure folks would like to know, heh.

E: Tentative opinion: Music's decent, love the aesthetics -- reminds me of a cleaned up DOS/90s platformer, very nice -- controls are pretty decent*, everything else gameplay wise is fairly compelling. 7-8/10 on a 10 scale? Solid B to B+. On floor four, will have to see how much else the alpha's got in it.

*In terms of responsiveness and whatnot. The default setup is very much "90s era platformer", which is to say terrible and should be remapped immediately.

E2: Also the cutest little spider things <3
Spoiler: Spoilered for arachnophobia (click to show/hide)
As a general thing, the animations and whatnot so far have been what I'd tentatively call "excellent", or at least very good. Nice stuff!

Synn, something like that.

Most I've hit is 900 an' something, I think. Since I've switched to a very conservative betting pattern (I bet 2 bucks, unless I really don't know who's who, in which case I bet 1 :P) I've been steadily, if very slowly, rising. Occasionally a bigger bet, but...

And yeah, I don't play to make money. The bet's more symbolic of the guess/prediction involved than anything else. On the bright side, I think my bailout's 90 something by now, heh.

Worth trying anyway. It's not like you need to do anything with the browser besides run Salty, if it comes to that. Having multiple browsers going isn't that big of a thing, especially if you're using one of them very lightly.

What kind of world do you live in that you don't like getting free stuff and eating cookies?
One where getting free stuff and eating cookies during the holiday season means less opportunity for free stuff (and/or food) and cookies during the rest of the year :-\

Also the one where the people getting you free stuff may not be able to afford doctors visits or whatev' because of it, which I think is a significant amount of MZ's objections. It really cuts down on the awesomeness of free stuff when it means a loved one suffers needlessly because of it.

... but yeah, I actually like a lot of the Christmas time music. I just wish it wasn't so concentrated. Less 24/7 during the month or three leading up to the holiday, more occasionally during the year. I think that'd both make the rest of the year nicer, and the music itself less grating when it shows up (since you're not bombarded with it constantly for weeks and weeks and weeks).

It's kludgey and has downsides, but most browsers (well... at least firefox and opera) have options to, like, bugger with stuff (i.e. background and font color), as well as a style option that lets you disable the default website formatting. This tends to completely screw things like alignment and general layout, but once you've adjusted colors to preference, may make things easier on the eyes. S'worth a shot, anyway. Color formatting's in the respective options, view->style->user mode, in opera, view-> page style -> no style, in firefox.

Really, it's their use during daylight hours that really twerk me, sometimes. It's not power savings if you could just leave 'em off and open the bloody windows and have things with more than enough light to read/work/etc. by.

Part of good power management, in regards to lighting, is to only use the stuff when you actually need it :-\
