What hardlisters do in their free time...

MineProDan 2023-11-11 | Ligament is a map in the Celeste 2020 Spring Collab, in the Expert Lobby. The most notable
thing to take away from this is its nature as a collab map. This means that it consists of just a
few rooms which are meant to explore a specific mechanic or interaction to provide a short but
sweet experience. Also note the date, 2020, which is still around the beginning of Celeste
modding. The Spring Collab was an incredibly ambitious and groundbreaking project for Celeste
modding at the time.
Upon entering the map, you are presented with a dreary, washed color palette, as well as
ominous droning music. You might even fail to realize that the decor is almost entirely that of
Celeste’s Chapter 6, just in a different colorgrade. The overall experience can be described as
“unsettling,” or possibly “repulsive.” Keep this in mind as this essay continues.
Ligament’s visual and musical aesthetic is essential to the experience, but what is perhaps more
important is the gameplay. The map combines mechanics which seem completely disparate:
green bubbles, jellyfish, and random bodies of water. This in and of itself is not what makes
Ligament unique. After all, there are plenty of maps that mix vanilla mechanics in unique ways,
which, though unexpected, ultimately have well-designed, thought-provoking, and fun rooms—
Ligament isn’t fun.
It is here we arrive at the crux of the issue. Analyzing Ligament as a Celeste map in the
traditional sense is meaningless, because Ligament is not aiming to be a video game
experience in the traditional sense. It is in the juxtaposition between the obvious video game
nature of Ligament and its utter defiance in being so that makes Ligament interesting.
What exactly makes Ligament such a tour de force? Let us explore some of its elements in
detail. Every single input in the map is unexpected, and completely outside of the box of normal
Celeste moves, even by today’s standards. Example: using green bubbles once to drop a jelly in
an elevated position, then using them again to get extra height off of a second jellyvator. An
ordinary map might use unique moves like these to add a puzzle aspect, or to show creativity,
but Ligament’s implementation is the opposite. It feels impossible that the solutions could ever
be intended, and they feel more unfair than thought-provoking. It doesn’t help that many (read:
most) inputs are incredibly precise with no setup, adding to the perception of unfairness.
What about plot? Ligament seems to have some vestiges of a storyline, though that may be
giving it too much credit. You begin underwater, with a single dash and a locked door in front of
you. After figuring out you can travel upwards to get the key (which is not immediately obvious),
you traverse a number of gameplay rooms (one of which is completely dark), and maybe get a
berry or two. You then reach a mysterious device with a heart on it and emanating wires. It emits
an ominous hum, and after dashing into it, you are transported to the final gameplay room.
Mysteriously, you now have 2 dashes, the sky has brightened (though is still muted), and all the
spinners have changed color. It should be noted that the final room is incredibly large and
difficult compared to previous rooms. After beating this room, you reach the heart room, where
your dash has been removed, and a bird flaps within a cage. Neutralling up the right wall and
falling into the bird frees the bird from the cage, launching you into the heart and returning your
dash.
Clearly, Ligament offers very little material for interpretation. There is no sign of any conflict
other than that of the player versus the game. Yet even so, the catharsis in the heart room is
obvious. I offer the obvious interpretation, that the freedom of the bird represents the freedom of
the player after completing the map. Ligament feels like jail; its very nature makes players hate
it and rejoice in its completion. Outside of the ending, there is little we can say about Ligament’s
“plot” without venturing into baseless speculation, other than that it adds to the sense of unease
surrounding the map.
It is because of Ligament’s fundamental nature that later maps aiming to emulate Ligament in
some way or at the very least having a similar premise fail to do so. Ligament was created in a
time of experimentality for Celeste modding; its nature in part derives from the state of the
modding community at that time. Today’s popular maps are all incredibly interesting and
enjoyable from a gameplay standpoint. We grow increasingly shackled to the idea of what
makes gameplay “fun”, deco “pretty”, or plot “interesting”. A map like Ligament could never
thrive under the crushing expectations of today’s climbers, who (rightfully) expect maps to be
fun.

For Mr. Minecraft Professional Daniel

Jordan Carter’s “Whole Lotta Red” - Analysis and Review
I’d like to start with a disclaimer. This essay is written from the perspective of one who
usually doesn’t listen to rap, though not because I dislike rap. There are, of course, a lot of
absolutely banger rap songs, as well as pieces which are meaningful in their own right. Even
though Playboi Carti does not match the style of rap that I do listen to, I’ll try to provide my
honest opinions on the album anyway.
From the outset, “Whole Lotta Red” presents itself as loud, harsh, and abrasive. Carti
frequently uses a strong, driving bass which could be seen as poorly mixed, drowning out other
sounds with its power. Furthermore, Carti’s lyrics are often vulgar and potentially shallow to
naïve listeners. However, I see this as intentional. Carti’s goal is not to produce a technically
perfect masterpiece; it is to produce music which draws the enjoyment of listeners. By using
intentionally evocative elements, “Whole Lotta Red” gains its own unique personality. It is no
coincidence that the album begins with the musically and lyrically basic “Rockstar Made” then
proceeds to develop more advanced musicality and rhythm as it goes on.
The use of autotune, historically controversial, is also important to examine from this
perspective. Of course, autotune is not original to Carti—but as an essay written by a rap novice,
I would like to analyze it nevertheless. Autotune was originally used as simply a correction
device to make music “sound better,” but was later popularized by Cher, and then T-Pain, who
used an exaggerated autotune to warp their vocals into a completely new form of expression.
Critics have called the use of autotune a tool to mask poor vocal performance, as well as an
overused fad, but when used correctly, it exposes a new layer of musical expression. Carti’s use
of this tool is consistent with his generally provocative and controversial style. By challenging
pre-established conventions, Carter challenges his fans to rethink the source of their enjoyment
and just how they approach listening music in the first place.
The album art also merits some level of analysis through this lens. The cover consists of a
monochrome image of Carter himself, stylized in a “vector art” style with only 2 colors. The title
displayed is simply “Red” in bright red writing, with a “dripping” or “trickling” effect along the
bottom. How do these elements represent the album? By reducing his visage to just two colors,
Carter exaggerates and deconstructs the image in a manner comparable to how he does so to the
rap genre itself. His facial expression is best described as defiant or smug, as if he is challenging
listeners to attack his music on the basis of its harshness. The titular “Red” stands in stark
contrast against the colorless background, evoking the image of dripping blood and emphasizing
the visceral nature of the album as a whole. Altogether, the simultaneous simplicity and sheer
power of the displayed artwork is memorable and leaves a strong mark upon its viewers.
“Whole Lotta Red” also displays some experimental elements which challenge the
conventionally established boundaries of the rap genre. The seemingly odd use of a vocal
backing line in “M3tamorphosis” fittingly transforms conventional rap into a notably different
type of piece. Influence from various styles is evident throughout the album, including the
notorious organ lick in “Vamp Anthem” and the futuristic instrumental in “New N3on.” These
elements give the album a flavor which keeps the hour-long work interesting and novel
throughout, eliminating any possible allegations of repetition or unoriginality.
Overall, “Whole Lotta Red” is a nuanced work with both standout moments and areas for
improvement. The vulgar lyrics are, at times, overbearing and caustic, as they are no doubt
intended to be. Nevertheless, this album is no doubt a must-listen for listeners aiming to explore
the limits of rap and what makes music music.
Favorite track: “New N3on”
The beat just goes so hard. I wish it was longer
Honorable mention: “Vamp Anthem”
Yk that bach sample is iconic and the organ is fire. I loved the part where he said “vamp”
20 times in a row it really had me creaming wavedashing all over the place

I want to thank wamp for also being my best friend (i didn't forget about you), being so genuine and supportive for my whole celeste career and still is.
I want to thank cyuos and coffee for making this enjoyable with your unexplainable and ai-like comedy.
I want to thank lych for being by my side, not only for this map but for my real life struggles. You are one of the best people I've ever met.
Thanks apple for singing somebody that i used to know in my 2k3 completion i guess.
Thanks to dude, fusion, stick, blueberry and wamp for making 1.5k1 enjoyable as fuck.
Thanks random for just being around honestly you mean a lot to me.
Thanks cup for being cup, you go with cyuos and coffee really for making this experience more enjoyable because you're very funny.

Thank you Wes. You know for what.

Thanks issy and mak for some strats (i kinda strat found the rest of it or watched videos so that means thank you ninz, viddie, parrot and jojo for your videos and indirect help)
