People have complained in the past about a catalog-centric way of viewing boards on /qa/, but is it really that bad of a thing for some people to have it as their default view? As a primary benefit, I'd say that browsing from the catalog tends to increase the use of threads past the first page and keeps new eyes on threads. I think that this really helps to promote more long lasting discussion than pure index viewing does.

That is precisely what I was referring to, implicitly.
That's why there was a "therefore" at the start of the sentence.
I omitted a comparison to indexed view because I was not sure if there was a decent generalization to make.

I've found that how much I feel inclined to use the catalog is an accurate indicator of a board's overall quality. On good sites I enjoy scrolling through the index, but on shitboards I'll almost always use the catalog to single out the couple of threads I'm actually interested in.

How do I stop becoming jaded? Every time I find a new hobby or interest, after I spend enough time with it I inevitably encounter the "community" surrounding it and become exposed to people and ideas that make me disgusted with the thing I initially liked. I'm beginning to believe that the only correct solution is to avoid developing an attachment to anything beyond a surface level interest.

File:fortune teller never stood….png (2.61 MB,1400x2000)

Off topic two hoe lore sperging, gomenasai OP:
>>133381
One note villain who is notable for being one of few to die on screen. The context is a Fortune Teller believed Humans were absolutely fucked in Gensokyo and so he rejected his Humanity and turned himself into a Youkai. In his genius he manifested within earshot of the Shrine Maiden Reimu and she saw him standing behind the body of her friend. Long story short she chases him out, he gives his monologue, and tells Reimu that she should let him go because 'trust me bro' he won't hurt anyone. To his surprise she didn't buy it and exterminated him. You can read the chapter here for the fuller context: https://mangadex.org/chapter/db650e2b-d4a3-43c6-95b8-ea617f257c5c
The filename is just a funny jab at his nativity and the joke that he didn't do anything wrong is sarcasm.
>>133382
The argument is based on retcons. The portrayal in earlier printworks don't match up 1:1 to the later printworks. One example is that PMiSS (Perfect Memento in Strict Sense) mentions that there are Youkai exterminators and that Reimu is just the most notable and spellcard rules allows weak Humans to challenge Youkai, but we don't see any exterminators other than our protagonists; so 'obviously' earlier works like PMiSS must no longer be canon and Humans are no more than helpless cattle quaking in fear.

 No.133416

>>133413
I still don't get it. I don't see why that's bait or what's controversial about it.

That's not a retcon. First of all, Akyuu is not a 100% reliable source and doesn't know everything. Secondly, Gensokyo is a big place, thirdly Reimu is of course the protagonist so naturally we will see her and not other exterminators and fourth and finally, most Youkai are not as strong as the Youkai that cause incidents and that Reimu has to fight in the ganmes so most exterminators probably aren't as strong as Reimu either and most of that kind of thing is probably fairly unremarkable. Kind of like how when Reimu(or Marissa) kills Youkai in the printworks it is fairly unremarkable.

If that's the biggest 'retcon' that people can find then I would say Touhou lore is actually fairly consistent.

From what I've heard it's a site that's quite comfortable with the idea that it might disappear forever in the next 5 minutes and no one really cares. I'm not a manga guy so I never bothered signing up, but I think there's a lot of people in OP's situation as it's fallen into disuse. It's not going to have an active account help system because there's no one there to run it. My assumption is that it's just on autopilot with someone paying the bills and not paying attention, like many older sites.

 No.133264[Reply]

"They" don't want you to divide vectors by vectors, but it's one of the easiest to understand operations you can define. We'd like a scalar q that makes qB = A, but that's not always possible, so pick the value of q that gets as close as possible, minimizing the size of the remainder R = A - qB. This happens when qB is the component of A parallel to B, and R is the component of A perpendicular to B. We'll call q the scalar quotient and write it as A/B.

From pointy sticks to plasma cannons, what are you favorite weapons in real life or fantasy? Weapons are more than just implements of destruction, they represent the culture and time period around them, and many cultures find certain types to be sacred or at least ceremonial. In fantasy they can similarly be an important part of worldbuilding, or more importantly just be really cool. Even wizards often need a good item in their hand to cast their magic.
Cuteness is not considered a weapon in regards to this thread!

I've seen that guy posted elsewhere on the internet before (years ago) and his humor really never clicked for me. I remember him as some happy-go-lucky guy that looked like he was 12 so it's weird to see him with a beard and long hair being serious. He reminded me of silly 00s internet humor, although a bit dated by the time he did it. So it's a whole movie of unlinked skits or something? I don't know how the suicide clips relates to an internet song.
Comedians swerving into serious territory isn't something I generally like too much. I've never really seen any of them do it well, they seem to add humor where it shouldn't be and can't take things seriously enough, perhaps because they feel pressured to perform due to their reputation and career. There's the saying about the jester being the only one allowed to speak truth in front of the king (or however that went), but I don't think it really applies to most of these people.

I'm not sure what the last movie I saw was...

>>133081
>So it's a whole movie of unlinked skits or something?
Essentially, yes. Typically 3-5 minute scenes, but some are really short, less than 30-45 seconds. I wouldn't call them "skits." There's not really any punchlines. They're all loosely connected in that they're about isolation and alienation. The film is set during the COVID lockdowns and, according to the film, Bo never leaves his house for nearly a year, and doesn't until the very end whereupon he's locked out and wants to go back inside. This was probably my favorite scene. It was completely out of left field, but it's amazing in recreating the exact sort thing he's critiquing.

>I don't know how the suicide clips relates to an internet song.
Between the scenes you would consider "worth watching", are shots of the disorganized and cluttered room Bo lives in. They're moments where you can faintly glimpse into the mind of the author and empathize with the same feelings during the pandemic of loneliness, and cabin fever. Maybe these concepts don't translate well to an audience that wasn't bothered during the pandemic and not being able to go outside or interact with people...

File:Death in Venice (1971) Cri….jpg (505.26 KB,1920x1632)

Death in Venice is the kind of film that people think cinephiles go wild for.

It's about a troubled artist that goes down to the titular city for a vacation and runs into a boy so incredibly beautiful that it fucking destroys him. You'd be tempted to compare this to Lolita, but it's a totally different story: the two never interact, it's more about the mental state of the guy and his reaction to the sublime (done through commendable acting), as well as a depiction of a luxurious setting at the same time that a cholera outbreak begins to tear it down. But it's very hard to say that anything happens, it's mostly walking around in very normal situations with only a couple scenes where the guy actually talks about what he's thinking, there's no narration or anything. Ultimately, he drops dead from cholera, sitting in a chair at the beach, unceremoniously.

One review Wikipedia quotes says that some shots "could be extracted from the frame and hung on the walls of the Louvre or the Vatican in Rome" and given how much they have been reproduced and reposted (particularly those from pic's scene) I absolutely agree. I downloaded the book it comes from and found its rebuttals quite funny:
>Other critics afflicted with private blind-spots have called Death in Venice boring, tedious, slow, devoid of action, pointless, without catharsis, etc. All of which, I humbly suggest, indicates more about the shallowness and obtusity of the individual critic than about the intrinsic qualities of this superior film.
>Death in Venice is not a story about a pretty teenager and a dirty old man. It is superficial to carp about "nothing happening,” "lack of confrontation,” "absence of catharsis.” For here we are faced with a complex and sophisticated mood piece, relentless in its pursuit of esthetic truth. The boy and the man never converse; why should they? Their unique communion is not based on the banalities of social intercourse, nor is it founded on coarse physicality.
Lol, lmao even. It's not wrong, but, you know, it's not a film I would recommend to anyone ever. He also downplays the homosexuality in favor of more abstract ideals, that part I do disagree with. Ebert's review is better.
I also watched a 2021 documentary where they explain how he was impacted by it and the situation in general, how a kid was given global fame and thrust into a situation he didn't understand while Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Zippyshare will shut down by the end of this month.
I think the impact is limited since it's meant as temporary file hosting, but a small number of files have survived for much longer due to continued downloads.
If you know some old files you want on Zippyshare like those on some DDL sites, download them now.

On the other hand, if Mediafire was to go down, the impact would be much larger since lots of files on it are now over a decade old. The same can be said for Mega due to the huge amount of files shared on it.

No, it's not April 1st. Could this all be because of the social media response to that Japanese ad? It is pretty funny since 'WcDonald's' is indeed something that pops up now and then in anime and manga. If they did this 20-30 years ago it would have been witty and kind of cool, but it feels kind of late now.
The style here is very 90s Western anime imitation, especially the Miku. You need to download the usual spyware app to see the comics, so screw that.

>>132953
Yeah. The "doujin spirit" is still there somewhat in Japan since the physical cons and events there are still popular, but online it's a FFA. As long as you don't break the rules on fan creation (which really only applies to charging money on it) you're good to do whatever with those characters and setting. Making a Touhou mod of X isn't going to make ZUN or his faggy lawyer hunt you down, unlike say Nintendo, Capcom, or Games Workshop. But this is for small time creators, they have different rules for corporations which I imagine they still have to go through the hoops for permissions. I doubt McDonalds can slap Doll Judgement in an ad and not at least pay lip service to ZUN.

Copyright is an incredibly complex topic. Zun has always come down on people trying to make and sell Touhou fan games but making a fangame of a franchise is legal so long as it's not made for commercial gains. That's the same thing with mods, though mods can still be illegal but that's due to terms of service and not copyright(some games put restrictions against mods in their terms of service).

The way Touhou is managed is not actually that different to any other franchise.
