So I was rewatching some scenes from spop and got to that one scene catra sits on hordak's throne and manipulates him to make him work with her and let her take control, and it reminded me of those paintings where Lucrezia Borgia, Pope Alexander VI's illegitimate daughter, takes his seat during a meeting in the Vatican; and I wanted to share it

realized a second ago that bardock's name sneakily fits into the son family theme and i'm going to need some time to process that.

to elaborate:

goku (悟空) and his sons gohan (悟飯) and goten (悟天) all have the same first character (悟, read as go).

bardock, rather obviously, is named after the vegetable burdock. more specifically, after the greater burdock, or arctium lappa, which is very common in japan. his name, バーダック (bādakku) is just the japanese transliteration of the english word.

what's the japanese word? ゴボウ. 牛蒡. gobou. 悟蒡.

he was one of them all along.

In Beatmania IIDX there are two separate difficulty category for songs: the difficulty rating and difficulty type. Rating goes from 1 to 12, Color is Normal, Hyper, and Another.

Every song has a Normal, Hyper, and Another, and each of these have different ratings assigned to each Color, like 4 Normal, 6 Hyper, and 9 Another. But you also can have, for example, 6 Normal, 8 Hyper, and 11 Another.

Most players measure themselves with the number system than they do with the type. "I can play level 9 songs for now." It decides their skill level. I have been slowly getting up more and more and currently I comfortably sit at playing level 10 songs, and I'm slowly trying to break into level 11.

It's a little funny how different it is at level 10. It's the gateway skill level to enter the harder segments of Beatmania. And one thing I noticed is that level 10 Hyper charts are much more difficult than level 10 Another charts these days, which is different when you go back to level 9, because level 9 Hyper charts can be pretty easy, and it gets difficult when you play the Anothers.

I think it's just because the game is telling you that there's more where that came from. When you clear a level 10 Another, that's it for that song. You're not gonna see it again in harder skill levels. When you play a Hyper, at some point, you'll get better enough that you'll play it again a couple of months/years later in a much higher difficulty.

So level 10 Hypers being harder than level 10 Anothers is like IIDX telling you, hey. We're not done yet. Ahahaha. It's tough out here
