I tried to look into the music Cicada published, and it’s a bigger task than me.
Someone put more thought into The Instar Emergence than I put into my entire goddamn life. It’s played in a weird tuning that I’ve never seen used for anything else, mostly to put almost all notes on prime numbered frets. The song runs for precisely 167 seconds, a prime number, and it’s a reverse of the original file name, 761.mp3, which is also a prime number. The melody is laid out in phrases with prime numbers of notes…
It’s the detail that has latched the 3301 mystery into my brain, someone thought this piece of music all the way through, and it’s an absolute banger at that.
Literally learned about Cicada 3301 last night when I watched a video about the Frog Fractions ARG
Back when the internet was fun
Oh it’s a cicada! I though it’s an elephant!
I thought it was Megaman with bat wings.
Lemmino has a great video on this.
as if I needed more reason to like Lemmino
Dobby, is that you?
edit: pardon me for missing one fucking single piece of thing that apparently everyone else knows. Fuck you all.
Great edit. I love this.
You should read a book instead of talking to AI.
Fuck off, I’m quite well-read, but I haven’t happened to read whatever book this is. I’ve actually suffered off and on in my life because of my extensive and sometimes archaic vocabulary that came from reading so much as a child.
I’m sure you meant nothing by your comment, but fuck off anyway, you’ve hit on a rather sensitive nerve.
I fucking LOVE the crowd downvoting when a reference is missed. Fucking LOVE that shit because all it does is show how shitty these sites can be when they come together to bully someone.
Voting doesn’t matter - except it’s the community feeling smug because they happen to know some thing that in this particular case, I happen not to.
So fuck everyone.
Buddy.
They aren’t down voting you for not knowing something.
They are down voting you for something else.
I dont know what happened here, but youre right on one point:
how shitty these sites can be when they come together to bully someone.
What youre describing is essentially a hivemind, which is true; however, in this case I do have to agree with the others - because you are talking like a dick, plus this community doesnt seem like a place for this kind of talk (unlike .world for example).
Three whole extra downvotes after I changed my perfectly polite comment to griping. 21 from missing info, 3 from the edit.
So no.
But have fun, whatever.
Maybe they are downvoting for behaving like an ass?
There is a wiki link for context included in the post.
woot, at least I know the reason, but it’s still shitty - thank you <3
Being cranky today, huh?
