splatoon 3 hot take turned impromptu essay

was stuck offline in splatoon 3 because internet was actin up and i realized how pretty the photomode splatoon 3 filters are compared to the actual game

i was taking photos on brinewater and thought. damn. this game looks fine but i miss how VIBRANT splatoon 1 was! i wish i could play sploon 3 with this photomode filter on all the time. and brinewater is the best map for this because of the sunset lighting! so i went to one of the worst offenders mapwise for general color—undertow spillway. it is a warm gray mess:

for someplace underground, it’s WAY too warm of a tone—even if there are skylights, they aren’t very well defined, as they’re off in the background—they’d be better with some light shafts to pop out more, imo.

so here’s undertow with photomode filter #6 (this would’ve been a video but tumblr limits to 1 video per post):

and i think this looks a lot nicer, colorwise! the icky warm gray is shifted to a soft pink—and while that’s still not in keeping with the lack of obvious skylights, it works better than warm gray.

so then i opened ibis x paint and got to work on a filter that would hopefully help elevate the entire game’s look:

on top is photomode filter #6, in the middle is the original screenshot, and on the bottom is my proposed filter.

i upped the contrast, brightness, and saturation a bit, then added a 5% pure magenta (#FF00FF) overlay layer on top of that. then i added a slight gaussian blur to emulate antialiasing, which nintendo refuses to do for some reason!

and i wanna play splatoon like that! i miss the vibrancy and intricacy of splatoon 1…

incoming splatoon 1 essay‼️

not only were the colors eye-bleachingly bright, but the overall game feel was much more immersive—especially in ink physics. you could paint trees, and the ink would drip down through leaves as if it were rain… ink splatter would respond to the movements of platforms, keeping its intertia as it dripped! you could see the textures of surfaces through the ink, as if it were an actual liquid instead of a layer of thick oil. 3 doesn’t have any of those special touches.

there’s also the music… 1’s ost feels so much more WEIRD and experimental than the later games, and that really helps cement that this is not human society—this is a new thing—which tracks for splatoon 1, as it was so zany nobody had ever seen anything quite like it before! splatoon 2 follows this sheer melting-pot of brashness and creativity with evolving and varied styles—where once was punk and weird samples in Squid Squad is now groovy rock in Wet Floor, jazz in Ink Theory, and also whatever Sashi-Mori was. also i <3 chirpy chips. splatoon 3’s music goes back to that punk, but i feel that it loses some of the charm and creativity of the first two games. C-side is pure metal, and hardly uses any weird instruments. there have sparsely been other splatbands involved with regular battle music—Yoko&tgb call back to the jazz of Ink Theory which i love! Off the Hook’s new tracks delve into a new style in piano rock. but the main band kind of falls flat to me. :(

let’s talk stages. in splatoon 1, stages were wildly different from each other, including skateparks, construction sites, underpasses, malls, sewage plants, and other locals that are culturally underground. the rest of the trilogy moves away from this in a story standpoint, as ink battles evolve from punky, diy competitions into full-fledged championships in 2 and 3, with advancing battle infrastructure as time progresses. that’s fine, and honestly it’s cool to see that kind of worldbuilding! but in 1, each stage was designed about and influenced by the area it represented. Arowana Mall is a straight line with high vantage points on the second/third story because it’s a mall. Pirahna Pit features convenyor belts that shuffle refuse around because it’s a trash plant. Blackbelly Skatepark has so many hills and valleys because it’s a skatepark, for goodness sake. splatoon 3’s original stages have some of this charm, but it feels lost in ambiguity. why doesn’t Mincemeat Metalworks have small moving platforms on cranes or other heavy machinery? Idk, have some grates and one-way drops, and a car on a post. why isn’t there any water incorporated into the stage design of Brinewater Springs? Idk, have 2 paintable walls and a tetris piece. 3’s original stages have little to no connection between their locals and the geometry, which make it feel same-y compared to previous games.

maybe this is because of the inflexible philosophy of the designers—or their corporate oversight, maybe. for stages, you need to make a straight line or tetris piece with few routes to push, in an effort to promote the game’s main premise of Chaos. for music, you need to make punk songs that aren’t too weird so they don’t drive away the parents. maybe the little ink touches could have been missing because development was rushed?

i honestly dont know why it happened out this way—perhaps the splatoon team just needed more time to cook, in order to squeeze out that extra 20% of game feel? or maybe it was that speculated corporate oversight, i dunno. things WERE missing on launch—notable exceptions being X rank, online tableturf lobbies, and no more than three salmon run maps. i know we’ve yet to even get the DLC but for being about 75% of the way through the game’s content lifespan, but splatoon 3 feels incomplete. there have been improvements, yeah! i just wish there could’ve been more. i would rather have waited another year for splatoon 3 if it were polished that much better, y’know?

i honestly feel like splatoon 1 captured that creative, no-holds-barred mantle of Chaos better than 3 does. 3 feels… flanderized, in a way. the curse of trilogies, perhaps? writing about it more, it feels like not only have the in-game sports of turf war been ripped out of its seedy home and thrust into the spotlight, and gone “mainstream” (see: massive squidsport companies investing in multimillion battle lobbies with holograms and lockers [sunken scroll about that!], flying coffee machines that grant you brief invincibility, new rules and techniques that allow squid surges and rolls, etc.), but also the Real Life Physical Video Game Cartridge of Splatoon has been popularized massively with the sequels on the Switch. maybe i’m not missing the “vibrancy” of splatoon 1 when i look at the colors and photomode filters of splatoon 3, but instead the inherent punkiness and counterculture inspiration that i see in the original.

fuck capitalism, i guess!

Wednesday, March 6, 2024

It was strange not having my robotics course today. I did have more time to study, which was nice. I am also able to add in a second hour of piano practice on Wednesdays now. I almost have my second piece memorized. I don't want to consider it memorized just yet, despite playing without sheet music, because it isn't fluid.

Midway through the week. I have seen several blogs I follow stating that their mental health has not been too great, so please remember to take your breaks and do something nice for yourself that isn't studying. This can also mean getting in more sleep or relaxing your brain by playing a game or watching a show or even better, getting outside if the weather is nice where you are. Socialize with people too, whether that's family, friends, or another you person you trust like a therapist, teacher, or school counselor. We have to remember to look out for ourselves and give our bodies and our minds what they need. This is easier said than done for many based on personal situations and circumstances, but we can aim to do the best we can given our situations and circumstances. It will look different for everyone, and that's okay. We are all doing amazing things!

Tasks Completed:

Geometry - Review of second quarter topics

Lit and Comp II - Reviewed Unit 20 vocabulary + read chapter 35 of Emma by Jane Austen + read the news

Spanish 2 - Pretended to write to a prospective renter about an apartment I am trying to rent, which included details about the apartment in Spanish (I found a local listing and described the apartment using that)

Bible I - Read Judges 6

World History - Ungraded quiz + watched a presentation on the end of WWI + watched videos on the Treaty of Versailles and its impact + answered questions about the Treaty of Versailles + viewed maps before and after the treaty

Biology with Lab - Read about the history of life according to evolution scientists + read an article on carbon dating from a creationist scientist

Foundations - Read more on reverence + completed next quiz on Read Theory + read more about what propaganda is

Piano - Practiced for two hours in one hour split sessions

Khan Academy - Completed World History Unit 6: Lesson 5 (considering the ongoing conflict, this was very interesting to watch) + completed High School Biology Unit 7: Lesson 1 (parts 1-3)

CLEP - None today

Duolingo - Studied for 15 minutes (Spanish, French, Chinese) + completed daily quests

Reading - Read pages 209-244 of Nigeria Jones by Ibi Zoboi

Chores - None today

Activities of the Day:

Personal Bible Study (Psalms 34)

Ballet

Variations

Journal/Mindfulness

-

What I’m Grateful for Today:

I am grateful to have more study time even if I do miss the robotics course and the people I met through it.

Quote of the Day:

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

OAMAR WOOD

drawing also by pey on ibis paint x :) (click for better quality)

Background:

Oamar is a 21 year old Latino man, born in Saarland, Germany(1982). No specific birth date yet. No parent info. Has a sister that goes by the name Jackie.

Oamar and his sister flee from Germany to France(1988) due to rabid animals(animalistics). His sister takes care of him until she decides to join a man(no name) and his movement of stopping all animalistics, growing distant from Oamar. He follows in her foot steps and joins the boycott in attempts to grow closer to his only know relative, but no matter, he ends up only growing closer to his old friends anxiety and insanity.

After many years, until he is 21, he is still in this group, it growing bigger, stronger and violent over time. Oamar feels conflicted and that he can’t control himself after leading a young man to his death. Our main character, Junko Hirohiko teaches him a lesson on the realistic view of life, saving him from the bad group and helping him with recovery. Sadly, Oamar will never be able to get his nice sister back, her staying with the group and never speaking to him again.

Oamar is a very anxiety driven person, and can’t help himself. He needs other people to be his guide to life. Some of the things he enjoys in life are gardens, relish, and clothes shopping, he is a very fashionable person when he can afford it.

Animalistic:

A bat named Hands, in possession of Oamar Wood.

Can play the piano professionally, even with their small teensy weenie hands.

Their animalistic is where they bite someone, and blood comes out of their fangs into somebody’s blood steam. Kind of like a snake with venom but it puts blood in your bloodstream instead of venom. Can save people from dying of blood loss. Not very helpful because that rarely occurs..

Eventually gets turned into a human by Lizzu Sonny(17, 2010), but they still keep their animalistic.

Kind of an awkward little guy, but is very kind and sticks with the people he knows needs help.

Soul(I don’t really know what it is yet):

Named Laplaces Angel, after the WW song.

Reflects Oamar’s insanity and confusion. The bad part of his soul.

Stands in people’s room in the dead of night, or appears in darkness, other than that it doesn’t do much but follow Oamar around.

Inspiration:

All of these characters were inspired by the songwriter, artist, and human being Will Wood. I appreciate his work and will forever appreciate him even if he never returns to music career. He made many people lives better and we all thank him for it all.

Oamar & LA’s inspo.

Hands inspo.

aight so here we go. as requested by popular demand:

the cryptid classical music list - pt. 1: what

just a quick warning: most of these will be pieces in the "contemporary classical" genre, which means there will most likely be a lot of dissonance. and also most of it is just weird.

also tumblr has an audio limit, so im splitting this into multiple different posts

alright lets get this list started.

Alfred Schnittke - Concerto Grosso No. 1

I - Preludio

II - Tocatta

III - Recitativo

IV - Cadenza

V - Rondo

VI - Postludio

And starting off strong, we have Schnittke's Concerto Grosso No. 1.

It's an interesting work because if you analyze the structure, it's very similar to a baroque-era concerto. The instrumentation is also very similar, consisting of two violin soloists, string orchestra, and harpsichord. The only difference is the addition of a prepared piano (which is a piano where stuff has been put between the strings in order to give it a different sound).

However, the piece itself is very modern. There are a few execptions, specifically the beginning of the Tocatta and various places throughout the Rondo.

This is a very eldritch-horror-esque piece due to its use of Ligeti-esque micro-polyphony. What Schnittke does is he takes each induvidual section of instruments and splits it up, similar to divisi. However, he subdivides it into 8 or 12 parts instead of a more normal two or three, leading to a very dissonant and unique sound.

Honestly, if you want to start listening to this, listen to the Rondo first; it's the most accessible movement in my opinion, but whatever order you take this in is up to you.

Soloists: Gidon Kremer, Tatiana Grindenko

Krzysztof Penderecki - St. Luke Passion

Part I:

O Crux ave

Et egressus

Deus meus

Domine, qui habitabit

Adhuc eo loquente

Ierusalem

Ut quid, Domine

Comprehendentes autem eum

Iudica me, Deus

Et viri, qui tenebant illum

Ierusalem

Misere me, Deus

Et surgens omnis

Part II:

Et in pulverem

Et baiulans sibi crucem

Popule meus

Ibi crucifixerunt eum

Crux fidelis

Dividentes mero

... in pulverem mortis

Et stabat populus

Unus autem

Stabant autem iuxta crucem

Stabat mater

Erat autem fere hora sexta

[Alla breve]

In pulverem mortis/In te, Domine, speravi

[side note: i was typing the above on my phone and it took like twenty minutes ::( ]

So. Penderecki's St. Luke Passion. Where do we begin?

The St. Luke Passion is an interesting one, because out of all the gospels Penderecki could have chosen, he picked the one that Bach never made into a passion. And the references don't stop there, whether it be the use of a baritone to represent Jesus, or the B-A-C-H (Bb-A-C-B) motif.

The work is totally atonal, and there are a lot of jumpscares. Like a lot. The music is also incredible, and its use of timbre is incredible. (listen to the "Et surgens omnis")

In addition, Penderecki makes great use of the choir, using them for vocal effects alongside singing (listen to the "Popule meus").

Performance provided:

Soloists: Izabella Klosińska (soprano), Adam Kruszewzki (baritone), Romuald Tesarowicz (bass), Krzysztof Kolberger (Narrator/"Evangelist")

Choir: Warsaw National Philharmonic Choir, Warsaw Boys' Choir

Orchestra: Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra, cond. Antoni Wit

George Crumb - Black Angels: 13 Images from the Dark Land

I - Departure

1 - Threnody I: Night of the Electric Insects

2 - Sounds of Bones and Flutes

3 - Lost Bells

4 - Devil-music

5 - Danse Macabre

II - Absence

6 - Pavana Lachrymae (Der Tod und das Mädchen)

7 - Threnody II: Black Angels!

8 - Sarabanda de la Muerte Oscura

9 - Lost Bells (Echo)

III - Return

10 - God-music

11 - Ancient Voices

12 - Ancient Voices (Echo)

13 - Threnody III: Night of the Electric Insects

Okay, do you remember what I said at the top about the music getting weird? Well this is peak weird.

Black Angels is written for string quartet with a few interesting modifications. The score requires you to use electric instruments, which are a weird choice. In addition, the score calls for each player to also use a series of percussion instruments and their voice in addition to playing their instrument.

And there are the avant-garde aspects of this as well. Every modern playing technique in the book is used in this, such as playing on the wrong side of the fingerboard, applying large amounts of pressure to the bow, bowing behind the bridge, and plenty more.

I'm gonna be entirely honest: this music sparks a weird reaction. If I try to listen to it as background music, it makes me dissociate a solid 80% of the time. So apporach at your own risk.

Oh yeah, and also there are a lot of jumpscares.

Alexander Scriabin - Piano Sonata No. 5 in F# Major (Op. 53)

Okay, we're finally venturing back into more tonal territory. And we're coming back with my favourite lunatic composer of all time: Alexander Scriabin.

I'll talk about him a little bit later along the list cause I have a better piece to reference, but for now just know that he once tried to end the world with music. Anyways, back to the sonata.

The 5th Piano Sonata is in one movement and spans a lot of keys. It contains some really pretty moments, as well as some moments that make you feel a bit overwhelmed. It's also very hard. But nontheless, it's still an amazing piece, and much more accessible than his later works.

Performance Provided: Sviatoslav Richter (pfte)

----------

Alberto Ginastera - Concerto for Harp and Orchestra (Op. 25)

I - Allegro giusto

II - Molto moderato

III - Liberamente capriccioso - Vivace

i'm just gonna be entirely honest with this one: the whole piece slaps.

Alberto Ginastera was an Argentinean composer more commonly known for his Danzas Argentinas (Op. 2). But nonetheless, the Harp Concerto, the Piano Concerto No. 1 (we'll get to that one later), and the Piano Sonata No. 1 (not on this list) all slap.

Performance provided:

The Harp Concerto is probably the most accessible out of the three works I just mentioned, and that's because it goes hard. Because the harp can only be tuned to 7 different pitch classes at a time, and since they cant be tuned to double flats or sharps, it forces the music to be very tonal.

And this is they key to the work: the limitations of the harp are easily dealt with, and the harp doesn't feel overused.

Soloist: Nancy Allen (hrp)

Orchestra: Orquesta Filarmónica de la Ciudad de Mexico, cond. Enrique Bátiz

----------

And thats it for part 1! I didn't even know that there is an audio limit on Tumblr, so I've had to leave some works out of this one, but stay tuned!

🎶✨when you get this, put 5 songs you actually listen to, then publish. Send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers/mutuals (negotiable, dont feel pressured or anything lol)✨🎶 (from @meilia-stims)

Oh, this sounds fun! Thank you very much, Meilia stims! :D

As for 5 songs that we tend to listen to at one point or another, it's hard to say—we all have fluctuating and varying music taste. We DO however have music on a collective wind-down playlist that we all like, so I'll list some favorites here!

ibi - “Muscle Memory”

This song is titled “Muscle Memory”, but it also feels like an “ear” memory. The background theme reminds me of “Moonlight Sonata” or another notable classical piece. Listening to this piece - even upon the first listen - feels like curling up with an old blanket, revisiting a friend. But that can be said of much of ibi’s other music, as well. 

I can sense other layers of emotions that can be evoked with this song. Tell me what else you hear.

This is a bit random perhaps, but I’d like to promote an artist I discovered a few months ago: Ibi. They compose beautiful, calming, minimalistic piano music (and have some covers of other pieces in that same genre), so if that’s in any way up your alley please check them out. They also have free sheet music of all the pieces available which I think is super cool

28, 32, 51?

28. If someone were to draw a piece of fanart for your story, which story would it be and what would the picture be of?

i am blessed to have had a few pieces of wonderful fanart already. there is one scene i’ve thought over and over about and would love to see made into an art, but it’s something that hasn’t happened yet in a clock with no hands. that and i feel bad for suggesting anything

32. Do you listen to music when you write or does music inspire you? If so, which band or genre of music does it for you?

i almost always listen to music when i write. generally it’s ludovico einaudi or other modern pianists like jacob’s piano, ibi, olafur arnalds, joep beving, martin kohlstedt, and dirk maassen, which helps me to concentrate and tends to interrupt negative thoughts (until i get too used to it and it doesn’t have a sound any more). i’ve varied it lately with lots of 80s music for my 80s fic. i also listened to be steadwell when writing my starbroom fic because it just had that gently playful vibe i wanted for that piece

the reason why my piano music is an abundance of white, probably cis men is because of youtube algorithms only showing those when you look up original piano compositions, and i usually find a playlist and just put that on. because struggling to find music usually leads me down a hole of Not Writing

51. Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!

i love the feeling of writing something and hoping that that *one* person will like it. i often have particular friends in mind when i write certain things. yes, you. that person. it’s you.
