What's the lain of the modern day? There probably is none, is there.

You can't do Lain again because Lain is trying to predict what the internet will be like and now we know it's tiktok and crypto scams.

 No.149401

Lain was made in entirely different conditions. Every year Lain becomes more and more detached from the conditions it was born from and becomes more and more the world's most unwatched funny depressed internet girl anime.

Lain was an attempt at predicting the weirdest possible outliers of internet culture and their impact on reality. Reality has gotten just about as weird, but in different ways.

Lain for modern day would have to predict the weirdest possible outliers of a hyperconnected culture that has become unfathomably bizarre, paranoid, voyeristic, exhibitionistic and self-destructive.

It would be essentially indistinguishable from paranoid schizophreniac's view of the world.

No-one would fund it. The Japanese stopped funding and making anime that were critical of society and it's future course.

It's not going to happen. Ever.

A damn shame, feels like we need something like that to penetrate the modern anime landscape more than ever before.
I just hope whatever does eventually come of these future lain-developments still retains the original multimedia spirit those first few projects held very closely. Another partial by-product of the time it was conceived within but still, gave it a certain edge and amount of soul that's allowed it to be cared for by many people even today.

Is it bad if I still sort of want to see this attempted unironically. It'd be lighting striking twice obviously given everything it'd have going against it like you've implied but still.

Lillipup will always go for a couple of Work Ups. even if you try to knock it out while it's setting up, nobody at this point in the game is strong enough to kill the thing in 2-3 hits. then they use a potion to reset any progress you may have had. after that, all of your party members get 2-shot so healing and switching out is useless lmao

Two games, recently. A hack of FFIV (FFII US if you want to split hairs) that adds in an overall simplistic but still fun to mess with Job System, which now that I type that out fits FFIV really damn well. That's the way I'd just describe FFIV in general. I'll link it if anybody cares: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/8946/
I'd recommend it for a replay if you're the type to replay the game every year or so, like I am.

Also got KH1.5+2.5 on Steam and have been working on 100%ing it. All of it. Started out strong with KH2 (still a great game), and following it up with BBS because I think I hate myself. It's been so long since I've played it without that one animation cancelling mod, and I have come to realize again why it's so necessary. Can't wait to sit down and play kuso Fortune Street for several hours later on.

I know from working on Fortnite that it has a certain design philosophy when it comes to releasing skins: it has quotas, that some must be goofy, some manly, some girly, in the same way that gameplay items are designed to appeal differently to different demographics (casual, competitive, clueless, etc.), and I think Yugioh does achieve something comparable with its mechanic and visual design, but that this wouldn't really be applicable for your run of the mill waifubait gacha. The two prior games have lots of elements that all come at the same time, in batches, while the lottery machine releases its new prizes one or two at a time, and creating a SHAB requires more work than creating a card. I don't think this level of diversification would work as well, Mihoyo already does a lot just by adding men instead of just girls.

>>149129
I should add that the alternative Eldlich art also has some insane levels of swagger. A golden conquistador necromancer sitting idly in his throne of ruins, his whole theme perfectly tickles all of my fancies. In fact, I bought this one card just to have it next to my monitor because it's that cool.

The most meta thing to do is not playing Yu-Gi-Oh at all and just fapping to the porn. Konami doesn't want you to play the game anyway.
And I say that as somebody who has played on and off since the very beginning, dueled people in the streets, and been to tournaments.

As a longtime player who burnt out on it shortly after Tearlament (this is peak yugioh gameplay btw:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGVM0Yfw4d8), I think this percpetion of the game is sort of "wrong". Of course, it's a competitive game, of coure you play what you know works best. This is one of the key factors about yugioh that causes a lot of friction. There is not really a "casual yugioh", you can play old formats, but you're still playing old format meta. You can play lower tier decks against each other, but those decks are bad, precisely because the anti-meta tools every deck plays impact them much more severely.
The game is fun if you play it properly, the game stops being fun when you play bad decks against good decks. And most people unfortunately are casuals and don't know what the good decks are or how they play. It all just looks very unfair (it is, but you also ought to be doing unfair things).

Yugioh is a fun game, if you get to play it, but it is also a game centered around not letting other people play yugioh.

>>149314
Live Twin Spright sure was one of the ways to play the deck. It was far from the best one, because Trouble Sunny didn't come out on time, but it was one of the ways. Live Twin on its own is unfortunately quite bad.

Frieren was fantastic, yeah. I liked the relaxing moments more than the action stuff, it did a good job with its atmosphere and theme. The action stuff wasn't bad, and maybe that's how it managed to become so popular, but just the thing about the journey and death and such was nice.
I also liked it when Fern ate or pouted. Very good.

 No.148764

>>148654
I think what gave Freiren so much appeal was it didn't do just slice of life or action. The fights that they did have were well done and not some tacked on deal, and the slice of life was engaging and wasn't the whole show. The characters being both expressive and full of character makes both halves actually work. Then you wrap it all up in a nice bow with a good theme and narrative. Yeah, it's not some isekai shounen schlock, and it's not cute girls doing cute things, but if you like either of those then you'll still find great enjoyment in it. And Fern, Fern was also really cute and had fantastic character development over her life.

 No.149242

I'll admit Frieren loses me a bit with some of the worldbuilding feeling a little too lazy at times, but I get that part of the appeal is in it being a relatively traditional sort of fantasy. Fern is a fatty, by the way.

So the entire series? I thought the fight scenes were pretty but also appriciated how they don't drag on and on.
>>148764
It just seems like a production that isn't doing anything innovative or groundbreaking, just the fundamentals really well. I like how characterization is largely done through flashbacks and is drip fed throughout the series; I hope they expand on the backgrounds of the examinees introduced towards the end this way, they did it a little with Ubel. I should probably read it too.

When you don't go outside it's easy to forget the basic hygiene you practice since much of the motivation for taking care of yourself can be perceived as a social thing. However some things are important to do even if you're not going outside for the sake of your long term health! Like brushing your teeth and flossing to keep them clean of plaque leads to healthier gums and reduced risk of brain disease! If you haven't brushed yet go do it!

What other health tips does /qa/ know to keep their body in peak condition?

Generally the way it works is that you just schedule an appointment and then go there. I realize that these things are quite difficult, but most doctors will take on new patients, unless they are already extremely busy. Most Hospitals also often offer walk-in clinics if you have a more specific and immediate, non-emergency health issue. But in that case you should be prepared to wait your turn.

For a regular checkup, just call or visit and schedule an appointment. It's fine if you haven't been in a long time.

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.

How would you rate each game based purely on their music? Side-games included. Personally, I'm of the opinion that there's not a truly "bad" soundtrack out of the lot, only mediocre ones at worst. I'd say my only particularly controversial takes are not rating EoSD and MS that highly, and putting DDC and LoLK near the top. Also, I wouldn't call myself a "Touhou is reclining" doomer, but I do think the two latest releases were disappointing on most levels, including music. Still hopeful for TH20 though!

It's not so much that they sound similar to each other, although some of the games have a pretty distinct sound to them, usually because of the instruments used. I'm moreso evaluating each soundtrack on what I perceive to be it's overall quality. Basically, how much of the soundtrack do I think fucks vs. how much of it I'm indifferent to, and how hard those tracks fuck. So, to rank highly, an album would need both consistency as well as standout tracks, which I think PCB and IN have. Something like MoF, for example, is imo just as consistently good as those two in that I like practically every track on it, but doesn't quite hit the same peaks in terms of specific tracks, so it ranks slightly lower. Obviously this is mostly personal opinion.

 No.146879

File:my-image.png (334.88 KB,1140x543)

EoSD is one of the greatest achievements in modern music.
PCB and IN are consistently great.
UFO is not as consistent, but has a few of the best tracks in the series, and a really unique sound.
If I'm being honest, StB and DS are mostly not that remarkable except for one god-tier track (Retrospective Kyoto and Bell of Avici, respectively), they get bonus points because I love the games themselves.
Not much to say about the rest except that I stopped following the games after HSiFS, and I don't care much for the post-UFO games. But among them I do have a bit of a soft spot for DDC.

>>146879
>I stopped following the games after HSiFS, and I don't care much for the post-UFO games
I recommend you give later games a listen to at least. LoLK, AoCF, and WBaWC have some superb songs. Idolatrize world, tonight stars an easygoing egoist, star spangled pierrot, pure furies, unlocated hell, and faraway voyage of 380,000 kilometers are some. Yorimashi between dreams and reality from AoCF is a fun one since there's a version on the arrange CD (U2 Akiyama) that is cute if you consider the ZUN original to be how others see her vs the arrange being how she sees herself.

Imperishable Night is probably my favorite. Both the early stages where you're racing through the forest and the later ones in the mansion / the moon sound exactly like they should, and there's too many standout tracks to name.
I would also credit Subterranean Animism more than most people seem to. Some of the early stages and boss themes aren't great, but the title theme is one of the very best and everything starting with Heartfelt Fancy is amazing. Nuclear Fusion is my favorite final boss theme.
Last game I played was LoLK. I really hate some of the instruments he started using around DDC (although that OST itself was still good). Especially the electric guitar-type ones. They bring down even otherwise good songs like Pure Furies.

didnt really have to clean her up or anything, just brushed her off a little bit. I carried her around in the bag that came with my softlight.
