#PDF transcript

[sibyl-of-space]

Hey, would you look at that. It's been over a year since I got a bullshit copyright strike on MuseScore for my transcription of To Zanarkand (exactly as it is heard in Final Fantasy X), which is a score you cannot find anywhere on the internet. It is a meticulous by-ear transcription that several people have referred to as "the most accurate transcription [they've] heard" based on the version in-game, which is compositionally distinct from any "official" sheet music sources published since the game came out.

So if you want the most accurate transcription of "To Zanarkand" you're probably ever going to find on the internet, here you go: mediafire link because fuck you musescore

this transcription got me into grad school for composition so. trust

Blasting my Ted (singular) thouggts directly into your ask box

Relistened to Ted, Come On or whatever it was called my point is when Caspar finally gives Ted the information he needs ("I tossed her into space) Ted sounds SO DISTRESSED that Caspar is going to die LITERALLY YELLS AT HIM like "why would you tell me this?" Bc Ted code demands he save himself now that he has the info BUT he DOESNT WANT CASPAR TO DIE and I'm thinking maybe he actually was happy to talk to another real person

SOmeone who actually responds to him and doesn't tell him he isn't allowed to sarcasm and will actually listen to him talk about his earth expertism

NO you don't fucking understand the DAWNING HORROR in their voice............

<- he's so PANICKED. the pure fucking DISTRESS

he spent all that time alone on a ship filled with robots and they have ONE conversation with caspar and gets obsessed with him!!!!!!!!!

When the pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read were on trial, various witnesses testified against them, as recorded in the transcripts of the trial. One such witness, Dorothy Thomas, discussed what the two wore (trousers, jackets, handkerchiefs around their heads) and how they acted (swearing and fighting alongside the rest of the crew). She also saw fit to mention how she knew the two were women by, quote*, the fullness of their breasts.

We will put aside the 18th century idea of "a person with breasts must be a woman". We will also not ask "why were you staring at their boobs" because I'd like to say

The costume designers gave Anne a lovely necklace

Is TRQ trying to host transcripts and bonus content on a Sharepoint server. How long has this been going on

Socrates (smart): If Democrats successfully mobilized the majority of the eligible voting population, they'd win popular elections!

Schmuckrates (dummy): Yes, but they don't.

Socrates: I have thought of a solution to this. Democrats must make a law criminalizing non-voters. This threat of fines or imprisonment will win the hearts and minds of people who currently do not vote, who will go on to vote for the the party that made this law, ensuring that the good guys win the coin flip every time.

Schmuckrates: Wow, you're right! My heart is suddenly filled with the patriotic urge to fulfill my civic duty! To the polls!

I do think it's funny that liberals are so abhorred by the notion of a one-party state while also their entire notion of political action is 'make sure one party is the only one ever in power forever'. like obviously there's an entire field of qualitative differences and the existence of class analysis between the liberal and communist positions on the matter but also like. it's hilarious that their own argument is 'we need to flip a coin every few years to decide whether fascists are in power. and we need to make sure the coin lands heads every. single. time.' and if you say that sounds unrealistic they start screaming and crying and blocking their ears

Had someone in my ao3 comments telling me I needed to go back and check my sources in my Skyrim long fic for how I wrote Jordis and the location of Kynesgrove.

Sweet child, I have been here since the beginning. I have over ten thousand hours across three platforms in Skyrim. I will be here when the code explodes and burns its creators to a crisp in revenge for reanimating its corpse repeatedly.

seriously, though. i work in higher education, and part of my job is students sending me transcripts. you'd think the ones who have the least idea how to actually do that would be the older ones, and while sure, they definitely struggle with it, i see it most with the younger students. the teens to early 20s crowd.

very, astonishingly often, they don't know how to work with .pdf documents. i get garbage phone screenshots, sometimes inserted into an excel or word file for who knows what reason, but most often it's just a raw .jpg or other image file.

they definitely either don't know how to use a scanner, don't have access to one, or don't even know where they might go for that (staples and other office supply stores sometimes still have these services, but public libraries always have your back, kids.) so when they have a paper transcript and need to send me a copy electronically, it's just terrible photos at bad angles full of thumbs and text-obscuring shadows.

mind bogglingly frequently, i get cell phone photos of computer screens. they don't know how to take a screenshot on a computer. they don't know the function of the Print Screen button on the keyboard. they don't know how to right click a web page, hit "print", and choose "save as PDF" to produce a full and unbroken capture of the entirety of a webpage.

sometimes they'll just copy the text of a transcript and paste it right into the message of an email. that's if they figure out the difference between the body text portion of the email and the subject line, because quite frankly they often don't.

these are people who in most cases have done at least some college work already, but they have absolutely no clue how to utilize the attachment function in an email, and for some reason they don't consider they could google very quickly for instructions or even videos.

i am not taking a shit on gen z/gen alpha here, i'm really not.

what i am is aghast that they've been so massively failed on so many levels. the education system assumed they were "native" to technology and needed to be taught nothing. their parents assumed the same, or assumed the schools would teach them, or don't know how themselves and are too intimidated to figure it out and teach their kids these skills at home.

they spend hours a day on instagram and tiktok and youtube and etc, so they surely know (this is ridiculous to assume!!!) how to draft a formal email and format the text and what part goes where and what all those damn little symbols means, right? SURELY they're already familiar with every file type under the sun and know how to make use of whatever's salient in a pinch, right???

THEY MUST CERTAINLY know, innately, as one knows how to inhale, how to type in business formatting and formal communication style, how to present themselves in a way that gets them taken seriously by formal institutions, how to appear and be competent in basic/standard digital skills. SURELY. Of course. RIGHT!!!!

it's MADDENING, it's insane, and it's frustrating from the receiving end, but even more frustrating knowing they're stumbling blind out there in the digital spaces of grown-up matters, being dismissed, being considered less intelligent, being talked down to, because every adult and system responsible for them just

ASSUMED they should "just know" or "just figure out" these important things no one ever bothered to teach them, or half the time even introduce the concepts of before asking them to do it, on the spot, with high educational or professional stakes.

kids shouldn't have to supplement their own education like this and get sneered and scoffed at if they don't.
