Do you think this will have a chilling effect on emulation?

>Nintendo wins $2.4M in Switch emulator lawsuit, Yuzu to shut down

>Makers of Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu owe Nintendo $2.4 million after reaching a settlement with the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom developer, following a lawsuit over the open-source emulator just last week. Both Nintendo and Tropic Haze, the company behind Yuzu, filed for a final judgment and permanent injunction on Monday, according to court documents, after Nintendo accused the Yuzu makers of copyright infringement, circumvention of Nintendo’s Switch protections, and selling those circumvention technologies as Yuzu, among other things.

With that attitude you might as well be yourself on the spot.

The sort of doom-and-gloom extreme pessimism you espouse in your post is very easy to fall into; it happens to me all the time. But at the end of the day, it's simply not a constructive mindset to have. Nothing is accomplished by worrying about things that you have no control over, even when they are worrisome.

>Nothing is accomplished by worrying about things that you have no control over, even when they are worrisome.
That's the thing though. Up until a few years ago I did have some control. It has been taken away from me and everyone else because we've been kicked out and excluded from a community we started and built. All in the name of control.

You're advocating that we do nothing and don't fight back against this. Well if that's your stance you should be overjoyed. Since most people have decided to quit and there is less and less original content coming out of every community each year. This is fine for people that don't mine being datamined and getting recycled content. For the rest of us it's a huge problem.

Because that data is the most valuable data on the planet. Since you can sell it off to the highest bidder. It's the same reason why every website embeds google: They pay you for the data.

That's not what I'm suggesting at all, although I could totally see how you got that from my post. Sorry for the lapse in communication.

I was trying to say is that you need to calm down and think about the situation to the degree that your actions can have tangible outcomes. Using myself as an example, I'm very pro-privacy and anti-censorship, so I use and advocate for things that improve both. For example, I use Tor for every website I can, and I tell others that they should too. I'm deeply afraid of attempts to reduce my privacy and access to information, but it does no good to think about a theoretical future where I have none beyond the extent to which it impacts my current course of action.

It's the difference between seeing fire and saying "the whole building is going to be on fire soon we're all gonna die!" and "I should grab the fire extinguisher".

I have at times really wished effect plugins would come with a some basic midi support.
On the simplest level something like having a midi triggered ADSR that controls the wet.
Been wondering why that was such a no go. Without I'm stuck using manual automation,
or doing messy things with sidechain compression. Both I find fairly annoying and finicky.

But there might be a way, using Snapheap.

Snapheap is a sort of modular effects rack that lets you set up custom effects by
supplying effects like compression, delay, reverb etc in their most basic form as submodules.
The same with modulation sources. And guess what it has an ADSR and a midi trigger.

So yay, I can finally see if my idea of midi triggered effects is actually a good idea.
I just gotta make them in snapheap.
As an example, a kick triggered ducker.

another thing that I like about snapheap is that I can easily set up effects on a parallel track and then have send and return controls for that without making an actual new track in the daw. Reaper can do on track parallel processing natively but I find it is much more convenient to do it in snapheap. Honestly I think all signal length changing effects like delay and reverb should have send and return natively but so far I haven't seen that...

What are /qa/'s favorite scores for anime and such? Are they mostly comprised of scores for older series or has anything recent really drawn your attention and favor as well? Or, do you even notice the soundtrack while watching?

Also I don't mean an anime with say 1 good track throughout the whole thing with the rest forgettable, but one where the music as a whole is good.

(bleh, reposting with fixed links hopefully)
Today is a sports day apparently, so how about some Dodgeball? Technos Japan had some truly amazing soundtracks on the NES and this game is part of the Kunio-kun series of games that had various localized names in the West. River City Ransom, Super Dodgeball, Crash and the Boys, etc.
Some of the songs borrow from known music (like the USSR theme here) while others are original as far as anyone knows.

Super Dodgeball:

2Player Versus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_2xFCHz-wE

The clone team theme really highlights how special these games were. It has THREE different parts which was quite remarkable for a NES theme, or even today's VGM really. These themes really get you excited.

Of course if you would know any Technos Japan theme it would be this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoJ7YFUotTA
Actually, screw it LET'S LISTEN TO SOME DOUBLE DRAGON! There's no way this stuff hasn't been hugely influential to video game music for being so early and yet so elaborate and catchy.

Of course the Atelier series can't be ignored. I have dozens of their soundtracks and it's a fantastic mix of various styles with lots of celtic flair. Tons of piano stuff, tons of vocal stuff, and lots and lots of special albums. Atelier really has a magical, comforting feel to it and its soundtracks contributed greatly to it. Lots of great, relaxing instrumentals for gathering and towns, but hectic, energetic battle themes as well. Perhaps appropriately the music works really well in the background when you're working on stuff like drawing or whatever.
Most people have only played the Arland trilogy since it's widely seen as the highlight, but they're missing out on a lot of other stuff. I know I've talked about Atelier music before, but strangely none of it was in this thread.

I think my favorite song is still Atelier Rorona's... Atelier Rorona. I feel like I've spent at least a combined total of 30 hours listening to it.

Budgets increased and Mitsuda has an orchestra for these two. Although it's arguable that he shouldn't have for Xenosaga because of how badly they apparently did their finances and it was reduced to a trilogy instead of 6 or more games. They actually used the London Philharmonic for Xenosaga which is probably very expensive. Soul Sacrifice is kind of weird because it had a second release with DLC on it, like a 'final edition' kind of thing and it had new songs. I think Soul Sacrifice in particular has an extremely atmosphereic theme that goes with its fascinating story elements tied to book pages. I've talked about it before on kissu, but it was years ago.

There's been many a time where I've stumbled upon a character and ironically stated, "Yup, that's me". Pretending or even lying to myself that I'm that character. But that's not the case here, this is me. I am literally Magia Baiser, Baiser is me. The mangaka wrote the story and I was who it was based on. You could not possibly craft a character that was more me than this. That's because if you were to change anything it would not be me, since it's me.

There's a lot of series that lose their roots after going through their first more serious arc. I'm very grateful this isn't one of them though, understanding how to relax and cool off giving some breath between arcs by giving us some more akogare'ing.

The manga does very much have inbetween chapters of lower stakes or sillier stuff, like Korisu's playground encounter with Magenta that was moved to way earlier, or yesterday's episode whose first half is chapter 21 while the second is from 42. A concern with this is that the future pacing for S2 is kinda screwed, but it's self-evident that they did a good job. Also, Utena's fundamental goal is to keep the back and forth going, that's the entire reason she came to be at odds with Enorme. Her akogare is eternal.
>Also Baiser is getting more and more brazen with her horniness...
An observation most pertinent to the events as they later unfold beyond the adaptation. Consequences await.

I want to nakadashi *girl* has become a popular phrase on imageboards (mostly 4chan). But it's a mix of Japanese and English. If I was going to say "I want to cum inside Holo" fully in Japanese, how would I go about doing that? In the English sentence, nakadashi is a loan word and it is the action being done, but in Japanese I don't think 中出し is a verb. Can it be verbified by adding する to it? And then you conjugate it to say you "want" to do it. So the end result would be 私はホロで中出ししたい which would translate to I want to cum inside Holo. Am I correct?

Japanese is fun to learn.

Something I've noticed of more serious otome/action-bishojo series is that they always try to upend society and replace the status quo with the politics and ideology that best suit them and their ideals. Homura, Utena, Dork, Euphie, Nefertima all act in similar ways to oppose the avatars of God(or God directly) who stand against them. Quite reminiscent of the Western media that conveys a similar concept of eroding status quo in favour of a rational society, except unlike in the West it's not done from a perspective of the moral choice and group harmony but pushes a more logical idea that directly criticizes the motives of those antagonistic of the protagonist.

>perspective of the moral choice
>a more logical idea
In "Western Thought", there is an assumption that the the logical or Truth is inherently moral. So this is actually a moral choice to the Westerner, just one that he isn't always conscious of. For example, why is Hypocrisy bad? "Directly [criticizing] the motives of those antagonistic of the protagonist" usually means pointing out the logical fallacies or the hypocrisy within the motivations of the antagonist. But why is this bad? What meaning is there in this criticism and why should the antagonist care about it? The answer is that Truth and logic are moral judgements that are presupposed. In a more power centric moral framework, Truth and logic are just tools to use against others in the pursuit of power that enforces the antagonist's will. Here being a hypocrite isn't immoral, so long as it's done in service of enforcing one's will.

Eh, I think that in Dork's case she's trying to solve a shallower issue that just affects her personally. While it's true that in her world there's prejudice against black people like her, it's not analogous to our world's prejudice where black people stood at the bottom of the social ladder due to slavery. Her world's prejudice is much more similar to this world's historic prejudice against g*ngers, which didn't need great societal upheavals to stop.

Why do those with power use their power to alter the world in a way that suits them? I don't understand. Why can't they just be polite and avoid sticking out?

This is literally what Dork wants; a quiet life. I think OP misunderstood her character a bit because she doesn't fit into this ideal he's talking about at all. She doesn't want to change the game, just defeat the Demon Lord if necessary. In real life she was basically the "I NEED MORE POWER" Vergil archetype.

What is your opinion on the kuudere archetype? I'm personally attracted to them because they're similar to myself. Kuuderes are a big 'gap moe' thing. The smile of someone who doesn't smile much means a lot more than the smile of someone who smiles all the time.

Many people don't seem to realize the last two ones are kuuderes too. I don't see many people discussing archetypes these days.

What is your opinion of private trackers and the like? AB recently came back (yay) but people have mixed feelings about such things. It's easy to dismiss criticism as jealous resentment if someone isn't in them, but it's also easy to see that it's not an ideal situation for people that love certain media and want to also share that love with others.
Maybe if AB did die the nyaa admin would get off his butt and actually allow new account creation since they've been temporarily closed for like half a decade now. It's not unusual to see releases and uploads that don't actually belong to the uploader since the person has no account. How much stuff is nyaa missing because it doesn't allow people to actually share them? You can only get post-MoyaiSubs Mewkledreamy Mix subs on twitter right now and I only know that because it was mentioned in one of the 2 uploads on nyaa uploaded by a third party, with the remaining 25 episodes on twitter. Is nyaa considered semi-closed or something?

I think the problem with Japanese media in general is that there's really no middle ground. It's nyaa or nothing. There isn't a "oh, this isn't as great as AB but it has 70% of the content" place, it's either you're in the anime tracker or you're not. I'm not in BBT, but I hear it's closer to the nyaa side of the scale due to certain rules it has among other reasons. I worry that as Japanese media continues to overtake the Western world (even if the mainstream people watch the same 5 shows) the tendrils of corporate rights holders will be as zealous as Disney or Nintendo is, and that will further increase the reliance of private trackers. Not to imply that it doesn't already cause issues on stuff like youtube and the like. Youtube once had lots of full episodes and albums you could watch but they were stricken down by various companies doing the copyright strike thing to wipe out accounts hosting entire libraries. It also has algorithms and AIs to detect and delete stuff that gets uploaded, within minutes. But hey, if you subscribe to one of 15 services you might be able to watch it if it's currently on the service.

Oh yeah, I forgot that I wanted this thread was more about general private tracker stuff. I think they're unfortunately a necessity for most things due to how corporate the internet has become, but I don't think it's necessary for Japanese stuff yet in regards to user safety from lawyers. I think it's kind of sad how people under age 25 or Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Do you have dementia? It's not a question you should need to check your notes for. Treat it like a conversation and just write down whatever comes to mind.

Might shock you but most people just watch anime because it's exciting and not because they're looking for masterpieces

Again, it gets complicated when you've watched hundreds of shows (700+ in my case). Trying to pick favorites between them can take time and isn't something that can properly be answered on the spot unless you have a clear list of favorites in mind.

I'm just not good with feelings and opinions.
If you ask me how I am, or what I want to eat, or how I liked the thing I just watched/read/heard... I don't don't know how to answer that. For the latter, I often come up with arguments why that thing might be (un)likeable, and people are usually happy with that. But that doesn't work when you ask me to pick something that I liked.

The fact that one of the biggest open source social media software companies has the most minimal website speak volumes of the unnecessary bloat of modern web design.

Pretty much, yeah. Noscript helps a lot with blocking the 30 other websites connected to most sites now and it helps stuff look more manageable, but perfect was reached back in the 00s. Some Japanese websites never 'advanced' and I'm jealous of them.

Do you remember what was the first VN/eroge you've played? I was trying to find out the names of some of these pixelated PC-98 ones I've played before and one of them was apparently True Love. It seems to have gotten an official TL in 1998 according to vndb. I played it sometime around 2003-2004 I believe. Quite a few ones seem to have gotten official translations back then surprisingly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAST_USA There are probably more that I've had the chance of playing before in there as well. Need to check it thoroughly. Yume Miru Kusuri is in there too and it was also important to me in that it was the first 'real' VN I've played/read in its entirety. I remember finding out about it on /v/ around late 2007.

I can't say for sure. I played a few of them around the same time, but my memory is hazy and they kind of blend together. I did play True Love back then, but it wasn't the first (and that's a dating sim really) but I'm really not sure because it was so long ago and I was so young that I can't remember much. It might have been Nocturnal Illusion, but maybe it wasn't. I remember that it took place in a mansion (I think?) and there was some evil woman with glasses. It's so embedded in my psyche that I hate 2D girls with glasses. Well, I mean I don't HATE them but I can't like them.

It's an eroge though. And the distinction between VN and dating sim is a bit dumb to me anyway. Dating sims are pretty much just VNs with a bit of gameplay, like Rance, Monster Girl Quest and Utawarerumono.

It's not the best film scan, EoE needs a remaster now that Anno has the rights clear and free of Gainax's rotting corpse. But I will say the surround sound mix of EoE is actually amazing, which I never realized until seeing it in a theater.
Misato moaning sex like she's right to my left for 2 minutes was the best.
Asuka's mom slowly becoming more and more audible from the back of the theater sounds like a schizophrenic break.

Fuck, it was so good.
