Ohayou~ :3

*tests gator* >:3

Gator said:
Meowning >:3

I'm prepared today hehe

Tyrantarmy6 said:

So I take it that means you're bored? :3

So how're you doing today? :3

Gator said:
You don't have to act that surprised :3
A bit, waiting for a build to finish and since I gave up on yesterday's task I'm not sure what to do currently xD

Only watched one episode of Negima yesterday, which was a nice fanservice episode though :>
Also made another attempt at a Vermintide run and this time I got a group which was actually competent and we finished every map successful... except for the one I got stuck in a wall in xD

How about you? :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Of course I do :3
How enviable xD

Eh, I'm doing fine I guess. Currently trying to make this website I'm working on responsive. It's not easy :3
Yesterday I watched the latest ep of death march, watched the latest star citizen ATV (Around the Verse), read a bit more of the NGNL LN and practiced a bit of Chopin's Prelude in E-minor Op. 28 No. 4 :3
The chords at the end of it are pretty nasty to reach with my fingers xD

Gator said:
Well I couldn't get that dumb subproject to stop using the old library until I deleted it. Then he refused to use the new classes I gave him with the new library and so I gave up xD

Still that task I see, will probably still be relevant next week? :3
So what's your verdict on Death March, still not good? :3
I played some piano as wlel, but didn't get any further since the stuff I already memorized is hard enough ^^
There is one point in the sheets I literally can't do. I think I have to press G#, H and A# which is impossible for me xD

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Sounds fun xD

Of course. I only really started on the responsive part today :3
It's still not gotten any better yeah. I mean, the main character is even worse than kirito xD
So you were practicing those pieces instead? :3
Ah, G# and A# being an octave apart is still doable, but I'm not sure about the B (only in german is the B called an H). If it's with the left hand then maybe I could do it, but definitely not with my right hand :3

I had to press with the right hand the following chords in succession: E F# B E, D# F# B D# and then E G B E. The last one obviously being the easiest of the 3 to play :3
The 2 outer notes aren't far apart, just a regular octave, but the location of the notes inbetween is nasty :3

Gator said:
The problem is that this is work we absolutely have to do at some point, but I just hope that one of my colleagues will solve that ^^;

Seems like a bad topic to start on a Friday :3
Who cares about the guy? What about his harem? :>
I basically do practice the same things over and over. First I play the piece I know completely, then the thing from Kyle Landry I'm trying to learn furthern and then two sheets I started and plan to learn completely once I'm done with the other one :3
It's doable without the B yes, but since I have to use my index finger to press the B, I can't reach the A# anymore... and yes it's the right hand xD

Yeah that's quite difficult as well, not sure how well I would fare with that. At least it seems easier since it's still in one octave, but I would have to try at home to know for sure ^^

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Yeah, I can imagine :3

Responsive is better to start on friday than monday xD
Eh, his harem isn't very interesting either. He usually has some random girl clinging to him, sometimes with big oppai, but among the girls who travel with him there's only 1 with big oppai (more if you count her sisters who will be joining god knows when) and there's like 4 lolis :3
Personality wise they're not entertaining to watch either :3

Such dedication :3
Figured as much. Yeah, with the right hand I couldn't reach that far either. And I assume your left hand isn't conviently playing something where you could outsource the G# to your left hand? :3
Then again, I've seen worse chords than that. For example with right: D♭ F A♭ C E♭... just why? xD

Yeah it's easier since it's possible to play just not very comfortably :3

Gator said:
Also my colleagues just got noticed of moving to another office I'll also be in, which means I'll be moved later and the good spots at the window will already be gone... my motivation for any more work today is gone T_T

Eh not sure about that, normally I don't get anything done on Friday xD
Is that the brown-haired one? I remember seeing a GIF of that which basically made me add it ^^;
Sounds like the pretty generic personalities are available :3

I'll try to keep the stuff I know and learn new things without forgetting :3
I think my left hand is playing D#2, G#2, C3, A#2, D#3, F#3 or something like that, so nope xD
Luckily I didn't have to press 5 keys with one hand so far ^^

And Kyle just plays that casually without even looking... T_T

Tyrantarmy6 said:
So does that mean you'll be offline for most of the day again? :3

But you do on monday? xD
That's just one of those random minor characters who does so. There was another random oppai character in yesterday's episode that took him upstairs and pushed him into a bedroom if you know what I mean :3
Didn't get to see anything after that of course so we don't know what actually happened though knowing the MC probably nothing :3

That'll become difficult if you know a lot of songs though :3
As separate chords you mean? After all, I doubt you could play 6 notes at once with 1 hand unless 2 of them can be played with 1 finger xD
If I remove say the F from the chord then I can reach the other keys iirc. It's the same problem as you not being able to reach the A# while playing the B :3

I'd also love to play something like Chopin's Nocturne No. 20 in C#-minor, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to play that with sheet music :3

Gator said:
Hm? Why would I? :3

I get at least more done I think yeah ^^
Well now that doesn't sound too bad of an episode I have to say. Though the part about not seeing anything is a whole different matter, but since it's not ecchi I guess that's to be expected :3

Yeah on guitar that won't work, but on piano my repertoire is quite limited so far ^^
As separate notes of course, I used the same kind of writing you did before :3
Unfortunately it doesn't quite sound the same if you do that though. But I also just removed the B in my example and play it like that. Sounds at least kinda similar :3

I think you showed me that already, that was the one you can play the intro of? :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Well, if you have to move to another office then won't that mean you're going to need a lot of time to set everything up and what not? :3

But still not much? :3
It wasn't that interesting of an episode. Just the usual MC can't help cheating on his harem stuff against his will :3

So far :3
I didn't use commas though :3
Yeah, it's not quite the same, but if you can't physically play it then you need to improvise in some way right? I mean, there's also an animenz cover where he casually plays with left G♭ D♭ B♭. I couldn't reach that far even if I broke my fingers so I could either play the original chord where it's G♭ B♭ D♭, or swap out either the G or B for the other to get a normal octave chord :3

No, I can't play the intro of that. I did manage to finish Bach's Prelude in C major No. 1 though :3
Couldn't be bothered with the Fugue part though :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
I had to press with the right hand the following chords in succession: E F# B E, D# F# B D# and then E G B E. The last one obviously being the easiest of the 3 to play :3

Gator said:
I has returned~ :3

Well I won't move today, will be some time next month. And I don't really have to set up a lot, I think most stuff will be done by our service people ^^

Of course not, it's a Monday xD
Sounds more like the MC of School Days instead of SAO :3

Given that I'm playing for half a year and finished only one song... it won't grow that quickly xD
You did though :3

So what did you do in the end? I would probably have played F# C# F# :3

Guess I confused those two then. Now you just need to finish it all >:3
Fugue?

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Okaeri~ :3

Oh, well at least that's good. Do you at least know where you'll be seated? :3

Thought as much xD
Nah, nothing is as bad as that MC :P
That MC willingly chooses the path that will hurt his girlfriend the most at all times which resulted in that ending and not even realize what he did wrong :3
I'd rather watch the typical dense MC than one like him xD

The start is always slow right? :3
But that was a chord progression so the commas are used to separate the different chords and not each individual note :3
Iirc I picked those yes. It depends mainly on what the original base note of the chord is :3

If I'm correct the song you mentioned was Chopin's Winter Wind wasn't it? That's a pretty tall order :P
Yes, Bach's Prelude and Fugue in C-major No. 1 :3
A Fugue is one of those pieces that has 2 or more voices based on a subject that's established at the start. It's always really nasty to even recognize what hand plays what so it's quite nasty to read :3

Gator said:
I know the room yes, in that room I don't know. Hoping for a seat at the window here, like a good protagonist :3

I kinda grew accustomed to the typical dense harem MC at this point, makes someone like Momonga even better though ^^

While that's true, I'm still having doubts if it will be much faster later on :3
I don't get what you mean with that. In your example "no comma" means you press them all at the same time and the comma separates the order. So what does it matter if it's one chord or one note? :3
I approve of this decision then, I also went a similar way with my problem ^^

You gotta choose something challenging or it's no fun, right? >:3
Sounds like something that only appears in old classical music, so I probably never got in touch with that. Only old song I know how to play is Fur Elise after all ^^

Tyrantarmy6 said:
I has returned~ :3

So you can leave the building through the window in case of emergency? :3


Because of this dude? :3


Well, if you're becoming as good as Wilhelm Kempff then you should be able to perfectly sight read a piece you've never heard of before without much practice right? :P
Well, we were talking about chords weren't we? Or are you saying you weren't talking about chords there? :3

Yeah, right now I'm just practicing some stuff I can actually finish instead of trying to play a song that would take decades to learn :P
But you can't play Für Elise till the end right? I mean, it gets pretty difficult later on :3
Also, are you sure that's the only one? There's quite a few songs that might be much older than you think :3

Gator said:
Okaeri~ :3

Mainly to have a better view. Not sure how well that would end for me in the 5th floor xD


Well he's certainly one of the densest MCs out there, but I've seen worse. Even though I can't think of anyone right now ^^; At least IS had decent fanservice.


I doubt that sightreading will ever be one of my abilities, even if I would get his skills at the piano. That will always be a mystery to me :3
I just don't see the difference between chords and notes, since a chord simply consits of multiple notes. It's not like you make a difference of them on your sheets either, do you? :3

Finish? So you have pieces you will finish? :P
Yeah just the beginning which is rather easy to loop. But since I'm busy with something else currently I probably won't finish Fur Elise anytime soon ^^
Depends on your definition of old, but I'm pretty sure yeah. My oldest one apart from that is probably from Warcraft 2 which got released in 1995 xD

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Well, if you're like senjougahara then it should work out right? Not so much for the person unlucky enough to catch you though xD


It's an anime I still have to watch just like so many others, but the stories I hear of how dense he is doesn't make me put any priority to it :3


Same here, but can you really say you've got his skills if you can't do that while he can? :3
There is a difference. Chords are played at the same time :P


Touché xD
I can also play a little bit of Für Elise but never really bothered learning past the looping bit :3
And you can't play something like a christmas song or god knows what else? Those are also old classical pieces more or less :3
Jingle Bells was published in 1857 for example :3

Gator said:
Unfortunately I'm far from being almost weightless and also don't have such violent tendencies. Not like that would lessen the problem of the person to catch me xD


It's quite popular for being the most generic harem anime out there, that was reason to watch it. Also I wish Higurashi had lots of fanservice not just in its OVAs :>


I can have his piano playing skills without his sheet reading skills, can I not? :3
So you would separate your chords by commas, but single notes you wouldn't? That makes no sense to me and would make it impossible to read :3

Thought so xD
Same as me then, though I play it so rarely that I had trouble remembering the notes yesterday ^^
Nope, I don't play christmas songs. My mum plays those on her keyboard almost exclusively though. Which means she only plays about once a year xD

Tyrantarmy6 said:
If the picture of that cat is anything to go by then that person's problem would probably be quite a bit worse xD

So can't you say you could watch higurashi as well because of its popularity? :3
It would also give you an opportunity to watch the OVAs :3


But realistically speaking it's not really realistic to play pieces at the level of moonlight sonata's 3rd movement and winter wind off of synthesia right? :3
The number of people who can play pieces like that without being able to read sheet music should be pretty low :3

No, I didn't say that, I said that I separate the chords by commas, not the individual notes of a chord :3

I would like to think that I'll finish songs from now on, but I don't really have anything to base that on so yeah xD
I do have the sheet music for it here, but there's a mistake in it already in the part I can play which doesn't bode well :3
So she's not one of those people who plays christmas music all year long? xD

Gator said:
I may have gone a bit overboard with the weight there, but 77kg are not easy to catch xD

I think I actually put it on my PTW list by now, but the problem is that apart from the genre which I don't like, there's also the art that looks quite horrible in some screenshot I've see T_T
I did watch the OVA from which I posted the GIF though, just for that scene :>


While it's possible, I never suggested so. I mean I can also learn a pice just by reading sheets, even without playing-on-sight :3
If there is even someone who can do that, after all there is nothing like tabs for guitar which make it easier to play than with actual sheets ^^

But that's exactly what I did, I separated the "chords" which exist of exactly one note by comma. How would you have written that instead? :3

Just choose something short that you wanna play and finish it then. You are better than me, so it shouldn't take you as long :3
Isn't there an official version available online though without any mistakes? :3
There are people like that? She's definitely not though, instead she doesn't play at all anymore outside of christmas ^^
That version doesn't even seem that impossible, I've seen worse in snythesia :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
By anime standards it would be xD

You managed to sit through sh*t like konosuba and db super, I'd say the art quality shouldn't be an issue :P
Besides, the art fits better than the art in higurashi kira xD
You shouldn't do that. What if there were spoilers in it? :P
Higurashi is a psychological horror that's not just about mindless gore and violence like in most other "horror" anime. There's plenty of people who don't know this though as those people don't even know there's a second season :3
Even without the second season though it's still a lot better than most of those even though it doesn't explain anything about what's going on :3


But you don't want to play by sheet music? :3
Which means you'd have to play it by synthesia or ear instead and I doubt most people who need something like synthesia would have the skill required to play it in the first place :3

As I said before. A chord is something like C E G. If you split them up like C, E, G then in the context of chords this makes it look like you gotta play 3 chords, C, E and G in that order :3

Easier said than done xD
Does finishing the prelude in c-major no.1 count, as I said I did finish that this week? :3


Obviously :3

Of course there are xD
I didn't post that for its difficulty level but because it's a depressing minor version of it :3

Gator said:
By anime standards every highschool girl is twice as strong as the strongest men in the world though xD

KonoSuba was at least my kind of genre though, you can't say the same about Higurashi. And I rated DB Super a 3/10 which is not a good example of why I should watch Higurashi :P
When I watched the OVA I didn't expect to ever watch that show, so yeah I got some heavy spoilers like who the antagonist is ^^;
If I think of horror anime HotD and Tasogare which were not really scary, easy to top that xD


How do you come to that conclusion? What do you think I'm doing when learning new songs? :3
I learned that Warcraft song originally with a Snythesia video though, but I continue with sheets now ^^

I even added the number of the octave I'm playing though, how could someone confuse that? :3

I know xD
I assume this is only a part of the song? Then now >:3

That's horrible, I don't wanna hear christmas songs in summer xD
I see, unfortunately I can only listen to this in my head as I'm trying to interpret the keys pressed :3

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Either that, or the person falling down is made to weigh like 10 tonnes xD

Sure, but you never complained about konosuba's art either did you? In that case you can't complain about higurashi either :3
Yeah, which will probably take away most of the fun considering it's a mystery show as well :P
Which is still better than ones like corpse party and another which are just mindless gore and violence xD
I doubt tasogare covered the scarier parts of the manga though. And even if it did, I doubt the artstyle of an anime could match that of the manga :3

Learning by synthesia obviously? :3
Most people start with synthesia outside of people who actually start with lessons :3

It could also indicate to play this and that chord on this and that octave :3

By that logic you can't say you've finished moonlight sonata either until you complete all 3 movements. Or you can't say you finished Chopin's Etude Op. 10 until you can play all of its numbers from Op. 10 No. 1 till Op. 10 No. 12 :P

I hear them in summer from time to time due to the spotify list here at work xD
Considering it's a Fugue I wonder how good your musical sense would need to be to be able to accurately reproduce it in your head without knowing what it actually sounds like :3

Gator said:
No matter what, anime will make the most extreme version out of it ^^

Oh I did complain about KonoSuba's art, don't know where you get the impression that I did not. The rest of the anime was just so great though that it wasn't that big of a deal :3
Which isn't my genre in the first place, so not much was lost xD
Haven't watched those, heard about Another though :3
They had some scarier parts about the death of the girl, but nothing really horrible no :3

Well how about no? >:3
That might be the case today, but some years ago most people didn't even know about Synthesia ^^

So you will continue to say what I wrote is wrong but won't give any suggestion how else to write it? :P

Well... yes? I can only say I finished Moonlight Sonata mvt 1 if I have not learnt the other two :P

Oh god, how have you not changed that list already? xD
Never said it's accurate in my head, but I'm doing the best I can without actually listening to it since I'm in the office :3

Plutia said:
*lurking* ☕️

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Hmmm, maybe I confused you with someone else then? :3
Somehow I just don't buy the comedy being that good ^^
Then aside from ecchi, comedy and action, romance, fantasy and harem, what genres do you like? :P
Thought as much. Manga is more suited to horror than anime anyways. If anime had the same quality art as mangas and would actually do something other than mindless violence/gore then perhaps it would be better :3

You don't like synthesia? :3
What's "some" years ago? I already knew of it when I first started playing piano which was quite a bit before I even got this piano which I already have quite a few years :3

Me too Q.Q

Gator said:
Damn, looks like it's still going around... I'm still coughing a lot ._.

Kai_N_Walker said:
I caught flu yesterday morning QwQ

Kai_N_Walker said:
@Gator --> Nope, just laying under blanket >w<

Gator said:
Ohayou~ :3

You should watch it then, the comedy really is great. One of the best comedy anime I've watched so far :3
Not sure what gave you the impression that I like romance or harem... :P
Slice of Life can be quite good as well, Else I think I already have enough genres that I like. Btw ecchi is my lowest scored genre overall :3

I do like synthesia, I just don't like to learn with it. Too annoying imo :3
I'm pretty sure you're not like most people when it comes to play piano and technology ^^

So how are you doing on this fine Monday morning? :3

Gator said:

Oh damn, weren't you ill just a few weeks ago? T_T

Kai_N_Walker said:

Me too Q.Q

Tyrantarmy6 said:
Ohayou~ :3

Somehow this doesn't get my hopes up :P

Maybe because of the sheer number of harem and romance anime you watch? :P
It may be the lowest rated one, but you do choose to watch most anime because of lewd oppai gifs :3

I'm doing fine I guess. Currently updating websites again as usual on mondays :3
Aside from that I went to an all you can eat restaurant yesterday and tried an oyster... not my best idea if I say so myself xD
I also watched some airing anime, but wasn't able to watch all of them so I've got some more stuff to watch today :3

How about you? :3

Gator said:
You shouldn't judge a whole show just because of one GIF. Also what's wrong with panty jokes? :P
There's a reason why I watched a lot of those though and starts with "e" and ends with "cchi" :3
"Most anime" is not correct, I watch most anime because the characters look fun. Funny enough your lowest rated genre is ecchi as well, so you are hardly one to judge :>

You do that every Monday? Can't you write a script which automatically does that? :3
Nice, how many plates did you eat? I never tasted oyster, but I'm no fan of ocean food overall xD
Sounds like a busy weekend :o

I was invited to a birthday party yesterday and met some friends again I don't see that often anymore. Had a good time. Else I played not enough piano as usually and played too much Vermintide as usually as well. Watched only one episode of Negima T_T

Tyrantarmy6 said:
That gif is just an example. Also, I've already seen too many of those in ikkitousen :P
So then does that mean you would also watch extreme horror anime as long as it's ecchi? guro :P
But I've watched much less than you in both ecchi and harem, nor am I anywhere near your 95.72% pervertness hentai overlord status :3
I'm surprised it's not 100% :P

Nope. It is possible to tell wordpress to auto update everything, but there is no way this could possibly end well. For example, when we update something in wordpress it's far from uncommon for something to break, and unfortunately there's not multiple branches. You update to the latest version, or don't update at all :3
I don't keep count of that, but it's not that many :P
They also had some nice sushi, even inarizushi (not as good as at a sushi restaurant of course), so I mostly had fish etc :3
Indeed, but I should be able to finish the remainder of the weekly anime when I get home :3

But your list says you finished negima doesn't it? Or is this another one of dem things you don't add to your list? :3
