4: why does "cantos xxx by ezra pound" sounds like a pornographic parody title. and would jokes of the sort make sense during his time?

1. Modernisation is the word I reach for immediately but I don't think it's quite right. Colloquialisation maybe? I just made that up but it sort of fits. I would want it to exist because I think personally Shakespeare is most interesting when you mess around with it. Don't get me wrong, some of it is absolutely brilliant as-is, but Shakespeare is sort of to theatre as jazz standards are to music, a well known base that people can improvise around and modify and because the base is so well known, you can draw attention to the interesting changes. It's a very cool dynamic.

2. There probably are but I don't know of any! I'd be surprised if they were super common, common enough to really have a name even, because novels do a lot of stuff really well that isn't just dialogue and I think that most writers who want to write dialogue-heavy are going to be drawn to the media that do that more naturally, like plays and TV.

3. cause we have video games now

I have not!

Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism With Self-Serving Croutons

American society is not a melting pot, it is a salad.

We need to Desaladize. Or no wait we need to resist Desaladization. Yes.

No Desaladization in 2026!

I can't imagine you haven't seen the BBC's mid-oughts attempts at this?

"transleration"

Dang I don't know the answers to any of these three.

For number three I blame the younger generations but that's just a guess

YESSS

You can play music irl to play the ocarina

The tie in ocarina sounds plastic but whatever

The in game ocarina is pretty beautifully rendered

The OoT is a twelve hole AND Link's fingering matches the tone. This is great

Saria's fairy ocarina is a 12 hole!! Yes!! I didn't think they'd retcon the fucked up seven hole. This is awesome

I posted this because they announced

1. A traditional playable ocarina, in a typical twelve-hole tranverse style

2. An electric version of that ocarina, also in a typical twelve-hole transverse style!!
