i went with Solly to this Monkey King opera and it’s fascinating. it feels like a way to introduce an opera-going audience to the 16th century novel by leaning into its criticisms of institutions and preserving the coherent irreverence that comes from the protagonist’s identity as a magical monkey
(delayed) review of the new "monkey king" opera (nb: this is basically the first opera I've seen):
- the puppetry was entertaining
- the bg music was fine
- the pacing of the lyrics felt off at times, and the accompanying singing felt like it had no relationship to the contents of the lyrics

this may not come as a surprise, but it not spawning a new process via `-exec` for every file or running multiple `xargs` passes makes everything significantly faster

貓兒房，近侍三、四人，專飼御前有名分之貓。凡聖心所鍾愛者，亦加升管事職銜。牡者曰「某小廝」騸者曰「某老爺」，牝者曰「某丫頭」
The Cat Office employed three or four attendants to feed cats of recognized status. Favorites of the Emperor received promotions: males were styled “pages;” females, “maids;” neutered cats were addressed in the manner of senior eunuchs.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.
