what OP/EDs do you like? I was thinking about the popularity of LycoReco when it came out and how nice it'd be to see more anime inspired by gunslinger girl since that was one hell of a boson anime. the OP for it being one of my favorites and having that early 2000s english indie song for its op. also do you remember that in the same season lycoreco aired there was another original anime "engage kiss" that failed miserably and was just a soulless gacha cashgrab checking boxes to try and hook a playerbase, lycoreco had no tie-in and was the biggest anime besides bocchi so goes to show how far creating something good takes you compared to trying to cash out on the trendy market researched ideal money printer

This is a thread for sharing general news about anime or video games or other entertainment that you don't feel like making a thread for.

I find myself not wanting to make a new thread for stuff and then I either forget about it or I put it in the blog thread as a last resort, which is quite awkward. Maybe other people feel that way, too. Well, here's an attempt to fix that.
This is not a containment area for such news, rather it's just a more centralized thread to put it when you don't want to create a new thread to share some info before moving on to something else.

The next Precure is going to be idol themed. I have a bad feeling about this since it sounds more grounded and less magical and it's rare that I like an idol show. It needs to be very cute or something silly like the fruit tarts, but maybe Precure could pull it off.

My first time buying a car I went to an honest car dealership that set the price what it is, no up-sells, no hours long financing trying to get you to purchase supplemental yadda yadda yadda. Still managed to haggle like a grand off the car by saying I'd walk lol

A decade ago, I was visiting this shady site selling self-defense lessons and when I moved to close the tab, a voice loudly yelled WAIT! Apparently you can rig your website to play a sound file (they used a baby crying as an example) when you move your cursor to the tab bar. Also a pop up window appeared offering a better deal.

 No.135706

We don't really have haggle culture in my country. People who attempt haggle are just seen as a nuisance and may even be ignored in online second hand trades.
Haggle culture is inefficient for everybody involved. It is better if people try to offer reasonable prices and leave it at that so the buyer and seller does not have to constantly waste time in their life trying to get a better deal. I can't imagine having to haggle all day every day like they do in some of the poorest countries because it's just expected.
I walk into a store and if I don't like the price I leave and find another store. This makes haggling unecessary.

It's fine for large purchases like cars and houses though, it makes more sense to argue for a while when we're talking thousands or hundreds of thousands, but not for cheap items.

 No.135707

>>135706
I love haggle culture online. Whenever I use ebay I try to find listing that have the "make an offer" to see if I can drop the price. Usually 60-80% of the original list price is achievable. In public is a different matter though. I couldn't imagine haggling at an electronics store or a furniture store or something.

 No.135709

I'm way too scared of offending other people to try to haggle. I'd much rather not buy it at all.

Are there any games that can properly depict war in its extremely stressful and horrific light? Or will we only really be able to to get that sort of experience made eventually through VR? I feel like, thinking about the potential of AI, this could be one of the few genres that AI would be almost necessary to properly make a less gamey more overbearing experience.

This is a re-enactment of the American Psycho dubs man scene with Weird Al and Huey Lewis. There's some very nice attention to detail and the humor is great. Somehow it's 7 years old and I never saw it.

Early 90s kid here
For some reason I don't remember any popular Japanese flash games during the early 2000s
Did they make any good flash games back then?

 No.135644

Yeah, but I kind of struggle to remember ones that aren't pornographic, though. Stuff like that one with Mai from King of Fighters or the JSK Studio stuff. There was that one Crash game where you launched someone with a side view, and uhhh... ummm... hmm.. kind of drawing a blank...

Just found out about the 2015 janny chat log IRC leaks.
Have you guys already discussed this? Just Google "4chan janitor IRC logs" and look through them. Basically, a janitor went rogue around 2015 and leaked years' worth of IRC logs. They are absolutely hilarious, especially the absolute meltdowns moot and the /jp/ janitors had because of the the various shitposting factions that waged war with them around 2011-2015.

There's a janitor who confesses to taking meth to stay up all night so he can delete more posts (WhatWinterLeft / Saegrimr / Cat looks like janny), a janitor who confesses to molesting his nephew (Kazisho), and more. Also, AoC (previously known as "meido") talks about how he shat himself multiple times in school and received the school nickname of "dooky"

Also, BOOF was /k/'s janitor
VCR_Working and fsdfdsf were also obsessed with /jp/
Janitors from other boards constantly mocked the /jp/ janitors for managing the worst board, and moot publicly humiliated and ultimately expelled some of the /jp/ janitors from that channel
