🎬 won't you stop with that look on your face ?

🪶 @n-americano ..

[let-me-be-an-egg-toast]

part 2

shout out to @zia-the-weirdo and @get-a-snack-at-an-ungodly-hour for this (part 1)

so "Microphone Guy" would probably be found in the upper floors (maybe 50+) and you need to find them 7 times and completely interact with them just to get them

(what you see at first [you need to click the error])

but it wont be automatic they'll actually ask to "join your amalgamation" and you can refuse, which makes them only appear whenever you keep ignoring dandy (odd-numbered floors) and will offer you health kits or bandages (this can also happen if you don't play as them ngl)

if they say something like "today i was feeling extra silly" they will give you what looks like either the eject button, valve, or smoke bomb, but its actually not

the "eject button" causes a random Twisted to be sent flying through the roof, the "valve" causes the machine to be filled up with something called "lICORice" instead of ichor (still does the job but yk you have less ichor now), the "smoke bomb" will blind both the player and twisted (for 30s) with "glitchter" (glitter+glitch)("GET GLITCHTERED") and to the other players they see the player/twisted walking around with glitch/ichor-like substances on their face and hands moving about trying to find something to cling to

you will need to press "A" rapidly once you get glitchtered to remove the substance off your face but the Toon will have smudges on them and a disgusted/sad wiggly face with your screen having smudge-like marks

if you fail to do this right after getting glitchtered you will have it for 30s

the said objects in question look normal at first until you see they're more darker/desaturated versions of themselves or their hue is a little off

example:

original vs fake

this also applies too for the health kits and bandages if "microphone guy" was feeling extra silly TM where instead of just healing they also boost a random stat by 40%

"microphone guy" has two special objects: the Flute (item) and the Note Staff (trinket) (BOTH ACTUALLY VERY DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO LORE)

The Note Staff can be obtained by completing all of "mic guy"'s 7 interactions and all research on every Toon, or just completing the research for "mic guy"'s Twisted form ("The Twisted Clef")

Ditto, but instead of research for the Flute you need to survive every single Twisted existing or just Twisted Clef in one run

the Note Staff grants +5-10% research everytime and 30 extra tapes at the start of every run but wait here's the catch

there is a 1/35 chance of a Corrupted Tape spawning and when used it stuns all Twisteds on the floor permanently until you get out

the visual effects are actually different

instead of just stopping in their tracks the Twisteds will convulse and scream

so that's disturbing :D.

the Flute is permanent (not consumable) and by itself can give one additional star to all your stats and even stun all Twisteds for 15 seconds and heal everyone by one heart

but only once each floor

using/equipping the Flute and the Note Staff together, you can get 10-15% more research, 40 instead of 30 tapes (retaining the 1/35 chance), stun countdown is now 20s, and full healing

if you're playing as "mic guy" however, the Flute will grant 2 stars for all stats and 3 if paired with the Note Staff

it will also affect "voice.", where instead of "mic guy" vaguely singing they're now playing the Flute with the Note Staff floating and circling them

These are the countdowns for "voice." (path finder = twisteds knowing your location) Alone - 30s Stop All + 20s Slow Down + 10s Path Finder + 1 heart + 25s cooldown +Flute/Note Staff - 35s Stop All + 25s Slow Down + 15s Path Finder + 1 heart + 30s cooldown +Flute + Note Staff - 40s Stop All + 30s Slow Down + 20s Path Finder + full health + 40s cooldown

so with Flute and Note Staff "mic guy" is just Boxten/Poppy with a double-edged ability

here's the auditory effects:

Alone: vague singing + layered whispers

+Flute: flute + layered vague vocals

+Note Staff: singing now follows a 7 note melody

+Both: same as flute but now also following 7 note melody

You'll get the achievements Melodic Measure (Flute + Note Staff) and Star Sonata (using both as "mic guy")

also "mic guy" is the only one who doesn't get insta-killed by Twisted Dandy, only receiving normal damage

bro got too lost in the sauce

anyways this is The Twisted Clef, and I think its obvious that the cords in this idle pose become both a G AND F clef

also btw their eye is supposed to subtly look like a whole note anyways so

twisted clef is a roaming Lethal about the size of 2 Toons or more and they're supposed to be very creepy

twisted clef floats around and has their own "biome" or i guess floor layout where it looks like a floor full of tunnels, vents, and hallways

If this happens the achievement " 'Lost in the Music' " is gained

they have a very rare chance of spawning in floors 90+ or if you die in floors 80+ and immediately go back again for your 2nd run

The odds will increase if you refused to let "mic guy" join you

if you're playing as "mic guy" Clef can't spawn

NO OTHER TWISTEDS WILL SPAWN WITH THEM.

if clef goes through a tight space they will get out of their idle pose and start physically climbing through the space

vents are tight spaces that are almost the size of a Toon, hallways are tall spaces, and tunnels have varying sizes

now heres where Clef's ability really takes place

Clef can mimic ANY sound - Toons, any action sound effect (collecting extracting etc), Twisteds', and if with voice chat - even clips of players' voices

the more tighter a space is the more their sounds can echo, which can cause confusion to the player because they will hear a sound at the end of the hallway but Clef is actually in another one

the pipes in the hallways/tunnels will sometimes leak, but its not ichor - its actually "lICORice". if you ask "mic guy" about "this"lICORice" (if you refused to let them join), they will say something like "at least its not body fluid" or "its very edible"

all the machines are now for this "lICORice" instead of ichor, and your only reward for surviving Clef is getting 100% research on them

the hallways are the only thing without a blackout effect, but they only have one large lamp each, which flickers when Clef is near

if Clef has their sights on a player and said player is running in a hallway/vent, they will be stunned immediately by Clef, who then slows down as they approach the player, twisting their cord around their neck and slowly dropping them into the darkness of their face "puddle"...

yeah thats the mechanic and jumpscare

for the first 2 minutes Clef will actually be stationary, disguising themself as one of the wires hanging from the ceiling. the difference between them and the other wires is that the exposed yellow parts are frayed and branched, not claw-like and single like Clef's "hands"

if no players managed to get caught by their hands then they will become roaming

here's a thing: the only twisted to be able to spawn with them is Dandy.

dandy won't come for the players first instead he will HUNT clef down (if no players are in his way during this) and because of this clef has the chance of "dying" and disappearing early due to dandy

If you see them die you'll get the achievement "The Death of Sound" and for the rest of the game there will actually be NO SOUND AT ALL

if a player comes while Dandy and Clef are fighting they will stop and turn their attention to the player, both chasing them down

also yes its canon Dandy LOATHES "mic guy"/clef for many reasons though ill let you figure the reasons why ;)

for now, IF YOU REACHED THE END OF THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH I PUT TOO MUCH THOUGHT INTO THIS LMAOOO

i hope you enjoyed because this won't be the last post about this little shit

have a Paper Splatter skin

Day 20

So much like when he and Zia Claudia fully fledged, Malik was hit with a surprise as Shay fully fledged as an assassin, Malik was titled a master assassin given his own special robes. They were of the finest and strongest materials known to the local Italian robe maker, but light in weight and lacking in the same visual flair that Ezio had. It was an homage to his Lavant Roots. Even down to the chest belt which held his sword, which has surprisingly been his namesakes personal sword.

Malik, Claudia, Ezio, Clay, Shay, Haytham, Machiavelli, Barthomule, and many others knew that the time was soon. Lucruza Borgia had lost power with her brother crazed for power and their father poisoned, dying shortly after having spoken to Malik who stayed with him despite the pain and their opposite ideals. The dying pope had even asked

"Why not leave me? Why show kindness to the man who had your grandfather killed?"

"Because even the most vile people shouldn't be left to face death alone."

Death, speaking of the lonely figure, watched quietly before approaching. He hardly ever made his presence known to the living but this loving care taker of the dead only nodded to Malik and said,

"I have seen too many people and animals die alone over the years. To see a human care enough, warms this sad heart. Perhaps I shall see you soon Malik."

"That is if it will stick next time. Didn't the first time."

There was a smile from that lifeless skull who nodded and took the Borgia leader to his rest. And Malik was left wondering what he just saw.

Edgin and the Dragonfly

*Spoilers ahead for DnD: Honor Among Thieves* 

I have a lot of love for subtle, well executed storytelling like the blue dragonfly that shows up throughout Edgin’s arc. The editing in that death/resurrection scene really sells the emotion beyond the literal content of the scene while placing trust in its audience to make the connection. I appreciate the symbolic meaning behind the dragonfly, but my little gremlin brain can’t help but take it one step further and wonder about its literal presence within the world of the movie. Even if it is not meant to be the same individual insect, the timings of the blue dragonfly’s appearances seem too perfect to be a random (e.g. dancing on the flames of Zia’s funeral pyre, landing on Edgin’s forearm after Holga passes). It’s almost as if it is following Ed around.

On the way to the Orifice, Xenk offers Ed some wisdom on the subject of resurrection: “I’d only ask that you consider that this plane we call ‘life’ is but one of many. To drag your lady love back to her old life is to deprive her of her new one.” This is a great character moment that also delivers an important piece of worldbuilding: when people leave the material plane through death, they are reincarnated or otherwise continue their existence on a different plane. You may see where I’m going with this.

Enter the Zia-Dragonfly extraplanar visitor hypothesis. Yes, the name could use some work. It is already widely accepted that the dragonfly is a visual representation of Zia living on in Ed’s memories. In addition to this reading, I propose that the dragonfly may be a subtle physical manifestation of Zia’s extraplanar influence within the world of the story. Even if she cannot physically return to the material plane, something about her new existence may allow her to visit or influence it in a small way. If true, then the recurring appearance of the blue dragonfly has sentient intention behind it, with Zia selecting this form for her messenger to evoke a specific memory in Ed and communicate its associated life lesson at key moments. This would provide a diegetic explanation for why the dragonfly appears when and where it does while offering Zia’s character more agency in the narrative in a way that feels appropriately subtle, yet satisfying.

Anyway, if you want to go all the way with this hypothesis and say that Zia sent the blue dragonfly back in time so that she and Edgin would have that interaction to prepare him for her death and his whole emotional journey thereafter, then I support you.

[pe4nutastic]

Strelitzia kick! Or Zia for short. Felt like re-drawing her after a bit, though wrt my blog, this is a first bit of art posted of her. Basically, she's an Ancient One (one of two total/modern-day Psion precursors) that survived planetary disaster. She has mega shapeshifting abilities and monster strength. Her hair and tail are ever-changing, kinda goopy like bubblegum or slime, as a kind of visual reference to her powers.

Quantum entanglement of photons captured in real-time

Biphoton states in high dimensions are attractive sources for quantum applications, including quantum imaging and high-dimensional communications. When projective measurement methodologies are used, it is typically time-consuming and impractical to completely characterize these states; however, recent developments in coincident imaging  technologies enable this by parallelizing many measurements.

In a new study, scientists from the University of Ottawa, in collaboration with Danilo Zia and Fabio Sciarrino from the Sapienza University of Rome, have introduced biphoton digital holography. The technology demonstrates a fast and efficient approach to reconstructing the full quantum state of entangled particles.

Using this technique, scientists visualized the wave function of two entangled photons in real-time.

A fundamental concept in quantum physics, the wave function thoroughly comprehends a particle’s quantum state. It enables quantum scientists to predict the probable outcomes of various measurements on a quantum entity, e.g., position, velocity, etc.

This predictive capacity is invaluable in the quickly developing field of quantum technology, where knowing a quantum state that is formed or input into a quantum computer will allow us to test the computer itself. Additionally, the quantum states used in quantum computing are very complicated and comprise numerous entities that could display potent non-local correlations (entanglement).  ...

Stuff I'm Looking Forward To in March

Wow, somehow it's already month 3 of 2024. In addition to Daylight Savings Time (March 10 - Spring ahead), Ramadan (March 10-April 9), St. Patrick's Day (March 17), first day of Spring (March 19), Palm Sunday (March 24), Holi (March 25), Good Friday (March 29), and Easter (March 31) here is what's on my radar this month:

Movies:

Dune: Part Two

Denis Villeneuve has become one of the great visual stylists of recent years thanks to films like Arrival and Blade Runner 2049. I named his film Dune Part One, one of my Best Movies of 2021. How good Part One really was depends on Part Two, which drops 3/1.

Knox Goes Away

Michael Keaton has always been a tremendous actor and now he's back in the director's chair for the second time with a starring role about a contract killer who has a form of dementia and he attempts to connect with his estranged son. Oh and Al Pacino co-stars! Opens 3/15.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire 

A Ghostbusters sequel is a tall order. Jason Reitman's 2021 sequel Ghostbusters Afterlife actually had its moments and it had a lot to say about living up to a legacy, in the film it's the grandchildren of Egon, but it could also be Jason Reitman about the fear and honor of continuing a film series that his dad Ivan began. The new sequel is directed by Gil Kenan, who co-wrote this with Jason. The fact that original Ghostbuster cast members are back gives me hope. Sequel drops 3/22.

Music:

Sheer Mag Playing Favorites

I was lucky enough to see Philly rockers Sheer Mag at House of Blues in May 2022. After two solid albums, they are finally back with their third, dropping on 3/1. (Review to come)

Liam Gallagher & John Squire Liam Gallagher John Squire

Former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher's solo career has been a mixed back, but his album As You Were was one of my Best Albums of the 2010s. As shown in the 2019 documentary Liam Gallagher: As It Was, he doesn't need to play music for money or fame, he has plenty. He plays because he loves music. Now he's doing a new album with John Squire, former guitarist for The Stone Roses. Sounds like a serious meeting of musical minds! Album drops 3/1.

The Black Crowes Happiness Bastards

The first new studio album from The Black Crowes since 2009 is cause for celebration. After a bitter break-up in 2015, the brothers Chris and Rich Robinson announced they were reuniting in 2019. In early 2020, I caught an acoustic live show from Brothers of a Feather (my last concert before the pandemic lockdowns) and since that show, The Black Crowes have had some reunion tours (NOTE: by reunion - I mean Chris and Rich, not the original lineup). They've released some anniversary albums, but this marks the group's first studio album in 15 years. Looking forward to it when it drops on 3/15.

The Dandy Warhols Rockmaker

I've always loved Portlandia's The Dandy Warhols. Through this blog, I've had the pleasure of interviewing lead Dandy Courtney Taylor-Taylor and keyboardist / bassist Zia McCabe, the band's 2019 Boston concert, and their excellent 2019 album Why You So Crazy. Now the band is back with a new album dropping on 3/15! (Review to come)

Film Festivals:

Boston Underground Film Festival

Boston's fun genre film festival for horror, fantasy and bizarre is back. I've had the pleasure of covering this fest from 2016 to 2019 and returning last year. The fest returns to The Brattle Theatre (Cambridge, MA) from 3/20 to 3/24!

Conventions:

Northeast Comic Con

I've had a blast covering the Northeast Comic Con for years now (read my coverage here) and the Spring 2024 edition returns with guests like Kevin Chapman (who I worked with on Monument Ave), a Growing Pains reunion of Tracey Gold, Jeremy Miller and Julie McCullough, The Go-Go's drummer Gina Schock and more! Convention is at the Boxborough Regency (Boxborough, MA) from 3/8-3/10. (Coverage to come).

Awards Season:

The awards season for the best of 2023 continues on with the Razzie Awards, actually the Worst of 2023 (3/9) and the Academy Awards (3/10).

In a Category all its own...

Shamrock shakes!!!

The Significant of Graduation and Why Jewelry is a Great Gift Idea

Graduation Gift: Jewelry is the Best Way to Mark One of the Most Important Moments in Life

Across culture we present jewelry as a gift to symbolize an important moment in life. Think of engagement ring or a bracelet for newborn. Graduation is for sure a significant moment deserves celebration, there is simply no better gift than jewelry. Read on to see our curated guided to graduation jewelry and the design concept behind, making each item on our list an especially meaningful gift.

majadejewelrydesign.etsy.com

A Memorabilia for Academic Achievement

Knowledge is the path to freedom. That is why graduation is one of the most important benchmarks in life signifying an important achievement. No matter high school graduation, college degree or post university, each academic achievement is no small feat. A gift is well deserved for recognition, and jewelry makes the best graduation gift.

To celebrate this special accomplishment you need a unique piece of jewelry, not the run-off-the-mill product. Jewelry marks an important moment in life, a transcendental design is critical because it will be pristine overtime, not just good for a season or two. The best graduation jewelry is classy in style and uniquely design which sounds paradoxical, but critical to achieve something interesting and full of passion.

Brilliance of the Faceted Cut Gemstone

From our studio we selected these works best suit for gradational gift. We divided our selection into two categories; The Faceted gemstones and the Spherical gemstones.

By faceted stone we meant gemstones that are cut in the classical “diamond shape”. Rounded front and pointy back with angular cut all over, an average faceted stone has 58 side, light will bounce off and reflect in these facets resulting the brilliancy we love. Faceted cut is the predominant style to polish gemstones in the market and easy to understand why.

For the faceted style we have selected these pieces in different price range. First off we introduce ARORA. A dainty and easy to wear necklace inspired by the concept of fate and karma. The meaning behind the necklace makes it an especially meaningful as a reminder of life. With a gemstone set at the center, visually the metal extended as a 3-dimensional interpretation of the infinity sign. A classy and also fun design to wear.

Then we have SCROPIO, a cute minimalist necklace inspired by the stinger of scorpion. Think of this as a protection amulet, because the stinger is the greatest weapon of the Arachnida. Yet the design is cute and classy for all occasions. This size also makes a great choice as layering necklace.

ZIA is good luxury choice. A design inspired by the images of the galaxy, like satellite stars surrounding the planet. An integrated design with the bale transforms into a diamond halo around the center stone, elaborate and yet timeless.

Another luxury offer is the CALLA necklace. Design in the shape of a calla lily: the symbol for rebirth, purity and perseverance. An especially meaningful gift for the graduated as they are ready to start a new life. Symbols aside this is an everyday piece great for all occasions.

Soft and Tender Sheen of Spherical Cut Gemstone

As oppose to faceted cut gemstones, beaded or spherical cut gemstones are rarer in the market. The reason is partially due the difficulty of designing with a 3-dimensional bead. In comparison faceted stones have a front and back, meaning that gemstones cut to this fashion will have a place to “sit” and then secure by prong. On the other hand, a spherical cut gemstone is rounded all over with all angles exposes 360, and thus more thoughts and consideration need to be in place.

For those who appreciate spherical or bead cut gemstones are very special; a serenity and subtle beauty differ from faceted cut. Gemstones are in a more natural state, an advantage for stones with natural patterns. I myself like to see it this way: Faceted stone stun us with its brilliance; and spherical stones are loved for their gentle sheen.

Like we previously mentioned, the style for a graduation give should be transcend overtime, because it is a remember of such accomplishment, need to make the owner proud now and for the years to come. The following design are selected with such ethos:

Since the time of inception our SATURN necklace is one of our best sellers. In the form of planet Saturn this cute and dainty design is great for everyday. Showcasing the beauty of gemstone with its minimalist structure.

MAIA is the sister design to SATURN. Also inspired by the galaxy, the spherical cut gemstone represents celestial planet and the stars bathing in the cosmos. Both pieces have the same design language yet very different in style, SATURN necklace is more of a choker look great for layering; while MAIA is more substantial a drop pendant style for a prominent look.

Another popular option is JANNI, an oval shape pendant again with the similar design flare to MAIA and SATURN, a choice for those who prefer oval rather than drop style.

And we have DINI, more elaborate than the previous mentioned design is this vortex inspired necklace. Like the Ying-Yang symbol two precious gold wave inspired shape holds the spherical gem tight. An all-intergraded design, very clean and minimalistic make it wearable for all occasions.

After reading this article, did you have a fresh idea on graduation gift of your love one? We hope you find this reading useful. No matter you decided to celebrate with present or no present, the most important gesture is to be there in person at the graduation ceremony and enjoy!

Yeah, I know many people have talked about this already but I need to say it as well before I explode.

I love visually seeing how the campers are all age accurately cast. In the books, it didn't hit me as hard because it was something I read when I myself was around 12. Even upon rereading I just go back to my 12-year-old body and the age is just this textual evidence that I KNOW exists but it doesn't truly impact me as much as it really should.

With this still, though, it's clearly visible how young all of them are. And it's scary. It's just the teaser trailer and it's already scary to think just how tiny and innocent they are, and how many hardships they have to go through at such a tender age.

But the scariest part about the scary part?
