#bugs playing instruments

[froggo-tea]

Small post, the bugs are playing their instruments again!! Their hands could do better work but I freaking love these doodles

Galien would play the drums but I didn’t have the space to draw him lol (and idk how to draw Marmu and Gorb playing any instrument-)

started a dark urge run say hello to somber (duergar bard) they are here to make everyone worse 🫡

#shush jesse #jesse plays bg3 #romancing astarion probably. the bloodlust and carefully constructed persona draw them in. #the dynamic is both of them thinking ''lmao i'm emotionally manipulating this guy sooo hard right now'' every time they interact #they did also have sex with lae'zel very early on #gale is like a bug to them. going to perform experiments on that man. gonna make him worse. #haha yesss bestie you should seek unending magical power. lets fuck around and find out. also kill that guy for me. #bard seemed like the funniest option for a durge run. i had to. #her starting instrument is a violin i feel like it matches his vibe (all pronouns moment btw)

Zant playing a taiko drum. ^^

#sgigart #bug fables #bug fables oc #zant the zombiant #last night sapped asked if he would learn any musical instruments. #while I don't think he'd learn many instruments. I could definitely see him playing a taiko drum. ^^

this art block is kicking my ass

have a sketchy Mei

#every time i doodle her the feathers towards the back of her head go more into some weird mullet thing #fellow nobles are unsure of her! local argonian/altmer wont fix up her feather-cut and keeps bringing her pet bugs to fancy parties #mei perdes #whispers from the shores #also funfact mei is now associated with the hurdygurdy in my head. she doesnt play any instruments but if she were one it'd be that

[gritsandbrits]

I just had a bomb ass idea for a Beast Wars OC

A Predacon based on an Orchid mantis! She functions as a cyber ninja (basically Nightbird's equivalent). While a predacon she's actually a neutral party and runs a self defense club as a side hustle.

Her name is Orchidstrator (orchestrator+orchid) and she uses her front legs as her main ability. Underneath her calm peaceful nature lies an (ex) bloodthirsty fighter so don't let her out on the field too long!!

She is also a pretty mean fiddler :)

#imagine her using her legs as a string instrument so every time a sad moment comes up she plays music :) #playing music at her victim's funeral #she's a picky eater and actually doesnt eat other bots she just gnaws on them and lets them go #predacon oc #beast wars #transformers #fan character #bugs

Bug

#HE’S A HANDSOME LAD #HIM IN MASK????? #And a suit!?! #Perfection #A very good time was had #I can’t be the only one enamoured with the very polite and handsome bug #AND HE SINGS! #AND PLAYS MULTIPLE INSTRUMENTS #You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like #10/10 would love to sing a duet with Francoeur

you know it’s a bad year for staging when you get excited because greece has chairs on the floor

#eurovision #esc 2022 #look ik we haven’t seen all of them yet #and there’ve been some good staging don’t get me wrong #and i really liked that overhead shot i’m not bugging greece #it’s just #so many stagings are just them playing their instruments like a fake band #i’m pretty sure they’re not even actually playing i think it’s a rule that they can’t play live right??? #just where is the pagentry. the sets. #the pianos on fire #the post stick notes were cool #why didn’t moldova have a train set they could have done the conga #:/

[appreciatingtokrev]

if u haven't been keeping up with my posts sorry for this slutty pieces of rushed work you don't get context either (ignore if u don't wanna read any like suggestive stuff)

THE HORNINESS HAS TAKEN OVER (pls stand by)

taku i literally run an x reader blog focused on nsfw works. obviously i’m okay with suggestive stuff- (tho i appreciate the warning bc. you never know)

help i was not keeping up with your blog so yes i very much read that without context. tho. i like it. ngl i want more akane content (especially akane & inupi grr there is NOT enough of them out there. and akane & koko content in which they both see each other as platonic, also VERY MUCH NOT ENOUGH OF THAT OUT THERE.) so. yes <3 aND i think akane x wakasa is a wonderful ship. honestly like smth clicked in me with them 😭 i’ve read akane x shinichiro fics but they never really.. clicked yk? they were cute n all tho that’s it. but wakasa.... yes.....

also i went n read through your blog so now i have context 👍 good context. also kinda random but i’ve been eyeing wakasa on the genderfluid/multigender spectrum for a while and like. 👁 this is furthering my headcanons. yes ty. also lesbian akane yes yes

one day i will make a post abt my pronoun gender sexuality hcs for the tokrev characters (maybe even including mental & physical illnesses/disabilities/etc hm.) . one day. and with a little luck i won’t change my opinions/hcs in less than 24 hours this time

you are big brained. that is all i really have to say

#uhm. do you mind me asking what your opinion on ‘contradicting’ queer labels is? #bc i may or may not have some hcs that would fall into this category. but with all the discourse i never know if i should talk abt them... #also random but tumblr bugged and made me think this was deleted while i had like 2/3rds of the post and i was so upset+ #but nooo tumblr was just being a bitch. the draft was still there #also random but is there like a list or smth abt the ppl in the band au n the instruments they play somewhere #? #elys n taku rambles #☆—`ask

[quarklynx]

You learn something new every day! Like apparently, the sound of two clarinets makes a passable substitute for the ancient Greek Aulos

#lynx thinks #thr mroe u kno 🌈✨ #finding a vst plugin for an aulos? impossible. clarinet however? 👌😎 #i still need to WRITE the song ahdjskks BUT its good to know that I'll have a decent sounding option to substitute! #writing music is hard tho. im tempted to put a tune to a silly minecraft themed love poem i wrote to practice #since ive literally never written a song before :) #aaaah we'll see ;w; #there are still a couple of spots in the lyrics that are bugging me in the one i want to do well on #so maybe giving it a bit longer and practicing on something else would be best #oh also i discovered this by listening to youtube videos of people playing an aulos and then #i went through videos of every reed instrument i could think of until i found one that was close enough for me #and clarinet won

I hope when we learn who the singers are in c-side we aren't explicitly told who's voice is who's and all descriptions of both of their voices are either too vague to tell or explicitly contradictory to other descriptions. This is me desperately not wanting the fish with the shrimp to be the high singer but not being hopeful btw

#rat rambles #splat posting #itd be great if it was crab (inkling) but idkkkkk Im not convinced #also I hope they have explinations for the fact that their music uses at least 5 instruments from what I can hear maybe 6 since it kinda #sounds like they use more than one guitar sometimes #I assume some of it is pre recorded (Id pick the bass and second guitar if it does exist) but who knows maybe the headless shrimp play #also idk where I summoned an extra instrument from I meant 4 and 5 #but yeah the bass is only present in very minor ways occationally so I assumeeeee its not one of the main instruments #especially since clickbait demo has much more clear bass in it and it got changed in the final version #plus they generally seem to avoid using bass sounds in most of their songs using guitar for their low notes too #there is some bass in their music still though which is why this bugs me gkgndjtkfh #and why if I had to pick an instrument ti be pre recorded itd probably be the bass since it does have the least presence

Games are kinda weird as a creative medium because it's one of the few where it's possible to be incredibly incompetent at one of the major parts of it (the programming) and it not be noticeable in the end product.

Like, if you're a musician who can't sing or play your instruments worth a damn, that definitely comes across in the final product, no matter how good you are at lyrics or composing.

Making a movie? It doesn't matter how great the script is, if your performers can't act and your cameraman doesn't know which end points towards the action, your movie is going to be noticeably bad.

But games? There are games that have sold a bunch of copies, developed by one person, with brilliant game design, highly playable, not noticeably buggy, but if you look inside them it'll turn out it's just absolute dogshit. They barely are holding up against the strain of just existing.

The kind of game that when the sequel comes out, they just throw it all out instead of reusing any code, because it's all so terrible that it'd be more work to adapt any of it than to just burn it.

That happens so often. But you would never guess it from just playing it. Like, if you think about "badly programmed games" you get things like "skyrim", which is just... Not exactly right.

Skyrim has lots of bugs but that's because it's trying to do so much. It's simulating a huge world with so much interactivity and so many complex interacting systems, that it's almost inevitable that it'll have weird glitches. It'd take so much playtesting and careful bug fixing to make that game glitchless, and they clearly did not do that. The game is known for glitches, but not crashing (unless modded), suggesting their QA approach was "weird unexpected stuff can happen, but the game must continue working".

Or Pokémon red/blue! That game is so glitchy, with so many bugs, but a lot of that is that it is just stuffing way too much game on a tiny cartridge. Its only failing is that of Icarus: it flew too high, too close to the sun, it did too much.

Skyrim and Pokémon gen1 are examples of amazingly coded games, even if they have their glitches.

But there's games that seem to work just fine that are held together with toothpicks and duct tape, at best. They're immensely fragile, and they only work at all because the crash bugs were fixed, painfully and slowly, far more painfully than they would have been if the program had just been designed correctly in the first place.

Just absolute disasters of game programming, but then those games go on to be critically acclaimed and start entire mini-genres because of how influential they were on certain gaming niches.

But you'd never know! That's the weird thing to me.
