Seems like firefox is going for a more customizable/individuality feel with it's recent update.
Not sure who these slogans are catering to though.
Shame that the color schemes are all bad.

I think browsers have had stuff like this for a while, but I guess it doesn't hurt to bring more focus to it. There's been simple skins for decades now, perhaps most famously winamp. I downloaded Maharo after installing windows a few years ago and haven't managed to find the motivation to do anything else.
Does the firefox update give you any guidance on making new themes of your own with custom images? It would probably be best just to make one from scratch and I should have learned to do that years ago

Does it need to be a pure VN? The Atelier series of games are some of the strongest escapism you can get, but there's a bunch of crafting and stuff and you won't get the best ending in the first playthrough. Some people stress themselves out trying to get everything the first time, but you're just not supposed to play that way. People really love those Gust games, myself included, because they're just so happy and SoL-like and you really do get immersed into the world.
Most of the VNs I've read have conflict in them so it's hard to recommend them for your purposes unless you're open to romance stuff which some people find really boring.

When your back and shoulders start to hurt a lot you will learn through pain.
In february this year I had horrible backpain and it lasted for weeks, had to take meds to make it go away.
Been sitting correctly since then.
So the answer is sit in the worst position possible until you get backpain.

You're supposed to exercise back muscles, but most of them seem to require machines or benches so I haven't done them myself. I think there was a thread about this on /qa/ somewhere...

Put your chair very close to the table/desk. When you have it set up like that, sitting up straight is the most comfortable position.

KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
VOLUME FIFTEEN IS FINALLY OUT

Been four years since we wrapped things up with bestest girl Neia, two since macrogenocide, now it's time for the Theocracy to finally get their game on. So far we have some Scripture deliberation and Nazarick workplace antics, it's a good start.

Prologue:

I expect there to be some sort of diplomatic tug of war where Slane and Nazarick compete to see who gets to win the elf king over, a mini cold war where anti-Nazarick factions try to forge an alliance without triggering an overkill retribution due to poking a random zombie once. Umu.

Also, the anime. It's premiering tomorrow.

Nah, lmao, the confusion is totally understandable. The book states this:
>How lucky was she that she could realize such a dream through the simple betrayal and sacrifice of the Kingdom?
>She wanted to dance.
>She wanted to sing.
>The joy in her heart was overflowing.
>She was truly, truly overjoyed. Her brain felt like it could break from all of this happiness.
I take it Madhouse went "fuck it, why not" and decided to go ahead and let her do that. I'm still laughing about it. The series has its goofy moments, like that one onsen scene, and Renner's true face has already been shown many times, even in this season's intro. This is the moment where she breaks free from everything that stood in her way, it's all paid off, so while it's silly I don't find it strange at all. (Would've preferred they animated the chair force, though.)
Aside from that, all major events from the arc were animated. Thing is, without the books' narration that fleshed out the past and present of the world, I can see why something like Platinum Dragon Lord sweeping in and his connection to the Thirteen Heroes would seem like it came out of the blue. I don't believe the latter had ever been mentioned in the anime so far, while the former has only appeared like two times (one of them being exclusive to the first recap movie, lol). If you haven't read the novels then yeah, you sadly are being left out of the loop.

The Cyberpunk show is out apparently. Watched a few episodes. The action scenes aren't that great and the story feels a little bit too much like the game's but otherwise it's a decent show. Definitely doesn't feel like anime though, more like an animated Cyberpunk 2077 show. Which i guess is what they were going for.

I think her main prominence was more through the whole latter part than just the last episode. But, the reason she's probably a favorite for many is that in the anime with communication being a huge theme, she was the best representative for it. She did her best to hold together the remnants of the team and kept checks on David to make sure he wasn't overloading himself, and tried at every turn to steer him off the path of developing cyberphyschosis. In the end she did the best she could possibly do to help out all her teammates both physically and emotionally, and for that she's best girl.

My hope for this is that it raises the bar for what should be considered standard for action anime to more like what it used to be when short action OVAs were the hot thing. Maybe that's expecting too much, but it can't hurt to dream.

Yeah, as expected, they peaked in the mid to late 00s and early 10s. Pretty much all the notable and widely acclaimed VNs are from that era.

It probably has something to do with Japan getting demographically older and phones/mobage becoming more popular. It correlates with the decline of the Japanese videogame industry. Japan lost its dominance over the market ever since the PS2 era ended.

2021 was a partial year when the chart was made. Although, I can't imagine the pandemic helped as I remember some people commenting on stuff getting delayed.

>>97439
During that time period, a lot of otaku media was intrinsically related to VNs. There were seasons of late night anime that consist largely VN adaptation back then. Even things that weren't based on VN had references to them. For example, some of the art pieces at the ending of Madoka Magica were done by artists from Nitroplus who worked on things like Muramasa.

>If you were on an imageboard back then you had the requisite PC to read VNs. What are percentage of the internet is phone users these days? 80% or more? That's a lot of people that can't read the majority of VNs even if they wanted to.

In Japan I think there was a shift over to using the PSP/Vita or tablets to play VNs. They are certainly more comfortable than sitting upright for hours.

Oh, that's a bit confusing. I would have just said she had a bad personality or something.

Oh, yes, for people that aren't reading my Utawarerumono thread I'll say that I was pretty happy with its first cour. It's far from perfect since they're adapting a long VN into an anime, but all things considered it's going fairly well. There's no way they were going to fit even 20% of the VN content into an anime with only 28 episodes, but all the major stuff has been included apart from one storyline which I uploaded in the aforementioned thread.
The 3D soldiers (and other things) are kinda crappy, but I can tolerate it.
Utawarerumon is woefully unappreciated and if you were to jump around every imageboard randomly it's unlikely you'll see any mention of the existence of season 3. That's life, I guess.

Looks like konachan is split into a 'safe' version so I could use that, yeah. konachan does seem to have a basic quality control thing in place like danbooru. Looks good.

Thanks. I never thought of background tags, but it could help prevent images with the plain white background, huh? It would be great if there wasn't so much white in the images, like what I have going on here right now.
Though, this program does let you designate a folder for the 'background' image and in theory I could clean up the plain backgrounds with photoshop's magic wand tool so that the background is transparent instead. Takes a lot of time to through so many images, though.

>>97392
It does work with the negative tags, I.E
"touhou -explicit" will give me touhou tags without the explicit tag. So I COULD use the Mewkledreamy tag. But, not all tags are appropriated applied at all times so it requires some cleanup.

I've been here since kissu started, and 4/qa/ since before Feb of 2017 before that.
I can't remain mentally stuck in the consciousness of a /jp/ poster from a decade ago, and I don't want to either.
Also, you're conflating some of another poster's posts with my own, although I am 97153.

Fair enough. Doesn't mean I have to like it though.
