Provisional Logistics 2

Hi

I wonder how much more irritation they will be able to bear next time.

At this point I'm not sure what made them mad or what made them decide that my thread was inappropriate, so I'm going to sit on it for a while. It could be a simple human error on their part, after all.

Unfortunately, Celeste's commentator in the Japanese Restream of SGDQ 2021 was not the one I like. It's not that I hate anyone but him, but I can't help but feel that he has some special qualities or something.

Basically, I like my AirPods 2. I understand that they are not the best cost effective earbuds on the market today, but for me having several Apple devices and ears that fit EarPods it seemed like a good choice.

Actually my cock is just relaxing right now.

And, yes, I've just had a bowel movement. Now that I think about it, it seems that despite containing a lot of cruelty, Attack on Titan didn't have many obscenities, including scatology.

One of ZUN’s Melody and Countermelody Relationships
Electroll

Zun seems to like using melody 1 as the counter melody for melody 2 or vice versa. Here are three examples.
Sakura, Sakura ~ Japanize Dream Melody 1
Sakura, Sakura ~ Japanize Dream Melody 1 + Melody 2
Crazy Backup Dancer Melody 2
Some may regard this as a verse instead of a melody but I will just label it as melody for convenience sake.
Crazy Backup Dancer Melody 2 (Different key) + Melody 3
Thunderclouds of Magical Power Melody 1
Thunderclouds of Magical Power Melody 3 (Different key from Melody 1)
Thunderclouds of Magical Power Melody 1 (Lowest pitch) + Melody 2 (Middle pitch) + Melody 3 (Highest pitch)
Thunderclouds of Magical Power Melody 3 + Melody 4

So how did ZUN manage to harmonise the 2 melodies together without having them sound ‘dissonant’ or ’clashing’?
I have 4 theories.
1) Melodies at different pitches
2) Controlling dynamics
3) Syncopation
4) Same chord progression

1) Melodies at different pitches
I raised Melody 1 of DDC extra stage theme by 1 octave on every repeat. The one with closer pitch to the other 2 melodies (raised 2 octaves) sounds more dissonant, doesn’t it?

2) Controlling dynamics
I increased the dynamics of Melody 4 of DDC extra stage theme on the next repeat. The one where Melody 4’s dynamic is increased sounds not as dissonant, doesn’t it? By the way, it’s the major second which I feel is causing the dissonance (F# and G#)

3) Syncopation
What is Syncopation? Go google it yourself lol. Anyway, the noteheads marked X are notes of the main melody that do not fall in together with the counter melody. More than 50% of the main melody notes do not fall with the counter melody notes, creating lesser chances for dissonances. HM Magus Night is not arranged by ZUN, I just want to give an example to prove my point.

4) Same chord progression
If both melody and counter melody shares the same chord progression, then the chances of them harmonising together increase. Melody 1 and 2 share almost the same chord progression except for only 1 bar. When composing a song, the melody notes are usually derived from the base chords. Hence, with the same chord progression, chances of 2 melodies harmonising together increase. Credits to Kijiriki and Artist のくの as I used their Sakura, Sakura sheet. Some useful information…

Border of Life (Final)
Chinese Tea
HM Magus Night
Crazy Backup Dancer
Thunderclouds of Magical Power
Sakura, Sakura ~ Japanize Dream
Future Universe of Wheelchair
Swim in a Cherry Blossom-Coloured Sea
Into the Backdoor
The Yorimashi Sits Between Dream and Reality ~ Necro-Fantasia

Voyage 1970 is literally the counter melody of Voyage 1969

Also, kudos to these 2 Japanese pianists as they manage to play both melody and counter melody with only their right hand which is bloody hard to do so.

Wow, that's only 3,4% less! This is a benefit from the M1, isn't it?

I don't have a lot to say about MIMK-078, but one thing I can say is that for the first time in a long time, a real person has been the deciding factor in putting an end to my fapping, even if she is partially hiding her face. I would like to pay tribute to the original author, Etuzan Jakusui, the lead actress, Yuria Yoshine, and the production staff.

Yeah, it's damn hot.

I want to wipe out from this world the idea that roles shape the personality of each individual.

The first headphones I bought were M40X, which were essentially chosen as a compromise to the M50X. The choice was 100% determined by information on the internet, and it would be no exaggeration to say that I despised the importance of my own senses. I needed it mainly for listening to the original music of the Touhou Project. That requirement led me via Google to Yahoo! Chiebukuro (it's like Japanese ver. Reddit), where I first heard of the M50X. At the time it cost about $200, and the existence of the M40X at half that price immediately attracted me. Being a very lazy and stingy person, I didn't bother to look into other alternatives and it became my first choice, which resulted in my purchase. I like my M40X, but now that the price of the M50X has dropped to around $150, if I had to choose now, I would buy it.

Approximately 27% less expensive! Quite fascinating option :)

I feel that the relationship between the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini is similar to that of the iPad 8 and iPad mini 5 in some ways. It is the regular model of each that is more cost effective, but each mini has the advantage of portability. Well, to be honest, I would recommend the regular model to most people, but for people like me with small hands and waning muscle strength, or for those who simply re-emphasize portability, the mini is a good option. I'm sure you're tired of hearing about this lol

What could be more painful than not being able to ask for help when someone is right in front of you?

I tend to pick at my ears even when there is no wax buildup. I tend to do this after showering, so I assume the purpose is drainage, but in any case, the fact is that I am contributing to the itchiness of my ear canal more than anything else. I want to stop, but it's become a habit.

It feels good to sniff vigorously, like a doppleganger.

>>18 Sorry guys, a doppelgänger is correct.

Yeah, sorry for the joke. It's actually not a doppelganger, but an onomatopoeia of ejaculation often found in Japanese Hentai manga. Like “Dopyu-ruru-ruru!” It expresses the sound of a highly viscous liquid passing through a narrow space.

Do aliens use mathematics to try to understand the universe? Maybe.

An immature idea that might be fresh: the succubus makes her imperfect alter ego to make her prey impatient and more engrossed.

Yahweh {"Yahweh" is God's proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.} spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, every male, one by one; from twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go out to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their divisions.

Somehow I like the sound of the word "intellectual problem".

Definitely I don't dislike it rather than I hate it.

So, every year, like clockwork, a new iPhone comes out. That’s a little better, a little faster, a little stronger than the last one. And as we know, Apple is the master of messaging. So they give an incredible onstage presentation with unreal video production. They paint the simplest, prettiest picture of how this is the greatest iPhone they’ve ever made. “The most powerful, fastest iPhone we’ve ever made.” But they also do something else very important, standard practice, but they give the phone to reviewers. And they don’t have to do this but they do and everyone involved will have essentially some date that they are first allowed to talk about their experience with this new phone. Now I’ve been a reviewer for years. We’re professionals. Our job is to take that week and do all of our testing and take all of our findings and find all the things we like and all the things we don’t like and all the new features and test all of the new claims and distill them all down into one piece. And that is a review. And if you time it all right, you can publish that review, right when the contract we signed say we’re allowed to. You might have heard of this? It’s called an embargo. So that’s what you’re seeing when you see all this first wave of reviews and impression videos about a product drop at the same time. The thing is every single one of these reviews is fundamentally a balancing act. Because there’s limited time. There is no possible way to meaningfully test every single new thing about every incredible new phone that comes out. And even if you do, how much time does that leave for writing down all these tests and then analyzing the results of these tests and that doesn’t even leave time for the production of shooting the video, editing the video, the color correction, the music, all the creative choices you want to make. There’s just too much. Being a video reviewer on YouTube today is like nine different jobs in one. So how do you decide what gets included in that review and how much has to hit the cutting room floor? So every review has its own style. Some reviews you’ll see are 5 minutes long. Super dense. Some might be 10 minutes long, even my own videos reviews over the years have gotten somewhere in the 15 to 20 minute range but that’s in an effort to give you as much information as possible in as short as time as possible. I’m not trying to waste anybody’s time. And don’t forget on YouTube we also have audience metrics and retention to think about. It’s a balancing act. So a review is basically the art of compressing and distilling as much useful information as possible into one piece. But because it’s an art, everyone’s going to cut different things from different places and make different pieces. But not this video. In this video, there is no time limit. This is everything you could possibly want to know about my last five months with the iPhone 12 Pro and what I really think.

All right. So now that the limits are off, I’m definitely going to be getting into the weeds a pretty good amount and multiple pieces of this video. You know, when it’s happening but I still it’ll be pretty fun when we do it. Now if you’re the mad man or mad woman who’s just going to watch this whole video straight through to the end, well you can see how long this video is, it’s good one, buckle up grab a snack, but if your attention span isn’t quite that long, well you can see there are chapters below for all these different topics, so if you want to get into the weeds on a certain topic you’re curious about, you can do that too, feel free to click around. Also, this video is mainly based on the iPhone 12 Pro that I’ve spent most of my last five months with, but anytime I reference other pieces of the iPhone lineup the 12 mini or the 12 or the 12 Pro Max, I’ll mention that too. Let’s get into it.
