An OBJECTIVE review of Celeste

For this next video, I have decided to meet the demands of Gamers™ everywhere and write a 100% objective review of the 2018 video game Celeste. Yep, definitely nothing that isn't objective in this video, no sir. Watch to find out whether I give this game a good, perfect, or the worst rating a video game could receive: 6.5/10.

Ok but in all seriousness, this video is my attempt at using the format of a review to act as a sort of memoir, similar to works like The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green or "Playing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" by Jamil Jan Kochai. Definitely one of the more personal pieces of writing that I have done in recent memory, but I am overall pretty proud of it, even though I feel pretty certain that this thing is gonna get less view than my other stuff. With that said, I hope you end up enjoying this and perhaps let me know what you think of this format because I can see myself doing this with a number of other works out there.

10 Tips for Memorizing Scripture

Today's inspiration comes from:

The Joshua Code

by O.S. Hawkins

"Believe it or not, our brains have an almost unlimited capacity for remembering things. Research by Paul Reber, professor of Psychology at Northwestern University, shows that our memory storage capacity is about 2.5 petabytes (or a million gigabytes).

This means that, theoretically, humans can memorize large portions of the Bible (if not the whole thing). Famed hymn writer Fanny Crosby could effortlessly recite the Pentateuch, the Gospels, most of the Psalms, and Song of Songs. In fact, she worked at memorizing five chapters a week!

For the Spirit to use the Bible to transform us, we need to know what’s in it. And memorization is an incredible way to make us intimately familiar with Scripture. Making memorization a discipline can have a life-changing impact on our spiritual maturity.

For the Spirit to use the Bible to transform us, we need to know what’s in it.

Here are 10 Tips for Committing Scripture to Memory

Start small and memorize incrementally

As the old saying goes, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time, of course.” It’s the same thing for memorizing passages of Scripture. If you want to memorize a chapter of Ephesians, start with two verses. When you have those down, add two more. You’ll have the chapter memorized in no time!

Say it out loud

Nothing helps you memorize like recitation. Throughout the day, recite the verses you’re memorizing to yourself. Sometime during the week, take a walk and recite longer sections you’ve memorized to keep them fresh in your mind.

Write it down

Keep a notebook and handwrite verses multiple times. Handwriting helps to cement things in your mind. Alternatively, you can also open up a Word or Google document and type out what you’re memorizing, too.

Draw it

If you’re an artistic Bible journaler, you already know how conceptualizing and drawing out a verse can help you understand and internalize it. The time you invest in drawing, shading, and coloring a verse is time spent meditating on it. The Beautiful Word Bible Coloring Bibles and Scripture coloring books are a great way to memorize verses as you color!

Listen to it

Hearing things repeatedly can aid memorization. Listen to recordings of the Bible, or create your own recordings of verses you’ve memorized and listen to them regularly.

Take it with you

Some people swear by the Post-It Note® method. Write the verses you’re memorizing on notes, and put them up everywhere: your bathroom, fridge, car, desk, and computer monitor. You could even make it the background on your phone!

Use flashcards

Students have used flashcards for memorization for decades—because they work. Create some of your own with the verse numbers on one side and the actual verses on the other. You can use these to quiz yourself, or invite someone to help you.

Get a memory partner & find accountability

Memorization takes a lot of work, and it can be hard to stick to it without discipline. Having someone else memorizing with you will provide the motivation you need to see it through. It’s helpful to work alongside someone else. Try practicing as if you were running lines for a play.

Translate the verse into another language

If you’re bilingual, translating verses from the language you’re memorizing into another language can be a fun way to become more familiar with what you’re memorizing. And the more acquainted you are with a passage, the easier it is to remember.

Find the right resources

The Joshua Code: 52 Verses Every Believer Should Know by O.S. Hawkins is our bestselling book on Scripture Memorization!"

Insect Automata Swarm (Disquiet Junto #0502: Global Swarming)

acoustic_mirror · Insect Automata Swarm (disquiet0502)

A phenomenon that seems to have escaped the attention of many researchers is how insects in the area of Cambridge, UK, deal with heat waves - maybe because of the relative rarity of heat waves in that part of the UK until recently. Whan dealing with rising temperatures, local insects tend to swarm together and organise their vocalisations into regular patterns that follow a progression not unlike that of cellular automata. Surprisingly, different kinds and geni of insects tend to join in and lock into the pattern together, suggesting a kind of inter-species communication that has also so far escaped our scrutiny.

In fact, in an unpublished article, Martin Gardner has ventured the hypothesis that the late British mathematician John H. Conway might have been influenced by the sounds of insects while working on his particular version of cellular automata - what we nowadays know as Conway's Game of Life…

…Of course, I'm making things up again. "Insect Automata Swarm" is my contribution to this week's Disquiet Junto project, in which we were asked to create a swarm of imaginary insects. This project is the third of three that are being done over the course of as many months in collaboration with the 2021 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 1 through 5 under the motto “schwärme” (“swarms”). For this project, I used no less than 39 of the available insect sounds, and structured the "swarm" by using four out-of-phase cellular automata objects in Pure Data. The result is a slightly cacofonous, part-machinic and part-organic, but always organised rumble and noise.

Samples used in "Insect Automata Swarm" include work by, amongst others: @analoc, @ausgesuchtestenohren, Bbob Drake, Bee Kind, Bick Brannigan III, Breanna Johnston, Caustic Gates, @creaturesonce, Fake Genius, Gary Barwin, Gerard Paresys, Two bounce, Karmic Resonance, K. Joule, Krakenkraft, Lewlaufer, @Losanch, Michael Ash, nameconstant, @Net, @morgulbee, Parallel Tool, Paul Beaudoin, Piney Boy, Radio Hummingbird, Richard Fichera, Scott Boone, @seramind, @veloopity, @wagneric, @wasabicube, @zedkah, and @Zounzabar. (Phew!)
