/qa/nime: continued! Anonymous 12/27/21 (Mon) 02:52:44 No.82349 [Reply][Last50 Posts]

I was reminded that another year has passed since the last time the /qa/ anime chart was updated, so I thought it was as good a time as ever to bring it back, update it, and improve on it a bit in the process.

The format for deciding on picks this year will be the same as the last with the addition of maybe singling out a specific anime of each year to be the most /qa/ anime of the year. For the current candidates that should be easy since there's only 4 of them, but for this year we'll have to conclude all the seasonal polls first and then afterwards decide.

The polls will be made separately and then linked in the thread with at least 3 days allotted for people to decide on winners, and I'll make a new poll for each season every day, starting with Winter 2021 today. To not make cheating so easy I'll make it so an IP needs at least 3 posts to vote, which shouldn't really be hard for anyone I hope. Also the AOTY polls will probably all be at the end or sometime in-between since they shouldn't be as hard of a decision.

Detecting objects in motion seems like more than just making maps for surveying. Unless you are wanting to survey a target's house for when there is moving objects so you can make a map of their activity over time.

Donkey Kong 64 is, to my knowledge, the only N64 game to use delta time. Speedrunners of the game take advantage of it by deliberately creating slowdown, allowing them to clip through geometry easier.

Obscenity is made-up unconstitutional nonsense that the supreme court allows because it's crooked. The original spirit of the first ammendment was very clearly "you should be able to say whatever you want and not face government persecution", and the idea of obscenity law didn't exist at all until like a century after the constitution had been ratified.

If you want things excluded from first ammendment protections, pass a new ammendment delineating those exceptions. It shouldn't be hard to get a supermajority to agree to ban things like CP.

New update introduces a builtin analyzer which takes previously played games and grades your moves according to what is statistically considered the "correct" move. Basically mortal bot for MJS. I take this stuff with a grain of salt because I don't think these bots take certain context into account. (for example, this hand is ass, the dealer is a master rank, I likely won't reach tenpai, I'm most likely folding.)

Still it's a cool addition and what makes it different from mortal bot is you can use it on east games.

Although they're rarely competitive, I think 'spellswords' (variety of names really) are the best. It's basically just a rogue or other lightly armored class with the ability to cast lesser to mid-level magic, often enhancements like flame-wreathed swords and stuff like that. Maybe invisibility or illusions and are included, too.
It's really cool and manages to maintain the novelty for a longer time than a class that's exclusively physical or magical. It's a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, so if the game allows enough freedom you can find ways to defeat a lot of things that would block other classes.
Pretty much my go-to class for anything if it exists.

Depends on the world. If the possibility of bagging a hot Kitsune wife exists, then Human Fighter it is, boring but close to home and focusing on physical prowess complements her skill in magic.
If this is not an option, then I may as well have fun with it. Comically evil skeleton necromancer aspiring to become a full lich and make the world a very spooky place. My legion of boney boys will be based largely on Dark Souls 1 skeletons. And since it's an isekai there's no one who can call out my obnoxious overuse of tropes, unless you faggots also spawn in the same world.

I do often wonder sometimes how much of the "tfw no gf" stuff is performative and how much is me just differing from the norm. I can understand loneliness from a having nobody to communicate with perspective, and I can understand lust from a wanting to jerk off perspective, but something I think I've never come to understand has been the romantic need perspective. I've considered the prospect of having a partner before and determined it's too much devoting myself to another person for me to want to engage in that aspect of life, and even then for the most part I have hard times envisioning myself with anyone in real life and most of my fantasies have involved some sort of conquest partnership with my waifu. Likewise I'm able to appreciate and enjoy romance anime for what they are and passionately root for and feel happiness about the cute couples in them without feeling any envy or bitterness myself, while I see others all the time talking about how watching those anime opens up a hole of despair in their hearts. All I want out of life is to be able to enjoy myself and appreciate the art and media other people create, with my only real desire being to create some game or story of my own one day.

When I think about this topic, it always reminds me of prior conversations we'd have in the past about failed norms vs true sages. But then there's been plenty of stuff I've seen strewn about the internet about "epidemics" of people without love and how it's a big social issue or whatnot. It's just that not feeling those supposed pangs of desire myself makes it hard to believe this stuff actually exists, or if it does is that big of an issue to people.

it's simply a cultural perspective.
normos judge their life by the standards of the culture they were raised in. So when culture dictates that you must have a girlfriend to be happy, they'll be constantly comparing themselves to that ideal and they'll be unhappy when they are unable to attain it. At the same time you probably have some cultural perceptions of happiness that are incomprehensible to the average person.
There are true benefits from having someone by your side, but it's not like happiness is unattainable otherwise. I have always been alone, but it's not like I wouldn't like to have a partner.

I don't mean the config setting to minimize like that, I mean that even quitting it the expected way still leaves the process hanging around after the GUI window's gone. It's visible in the system monitor that displays the processes. Sending an "end" signal to the process doesn't even shut it down, it has to be explicitly the "kill" signal.

I've reached the age, or did years ago, where I have to consciously attempt to avoid hiding in the comfort of nostalgia. It really is true that games used to be better, though. There's still good anime being released to keep me "with it" or something, and occasionally good indie games come out and I talk to younger people about them. I otherwise feel completely disconnected from the world, which might sound unusual in escapism entertainment. In the past people would bond over books, though, so I don't think it's too strange.

They say be the change you want to see, and that if you like something you should support it. So I preordered the MahoAko BD boxes including the limited edition one with the Baiser fig. Here's hoping we get more series that similarly strive for greatness and ecchi in the future.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/product/B0CSKQYYDF

Kinda wish I had money 10 years ago like I do now to freely spend on BDs... Could've started amassing a collection a whole lot earlier and I'm sure there's a bunch of limited edition ones that I'll never be able to get my hands on. The effect buying them would have towards the old production would probably be minimal as well. Though, if I were to venture forth and try to make up for lost time while NEETing around does /qa/ know of any good place to find older stuff, or is it just eBay and Amazon? On that topic too, how much into merch or BD buying is /qa/?

It is in a way but it's hard to get people to understand what genre you mean without it, but also "RPG from japan" can mean a lot of games. "jrpg" has stereotypes associated with it (most of which have faded since the 2000s), but I guess the association still remains? See Yahtzee. I'm kind of surprised he's never faced accusation of xenophobia or outright racism for the way he feels about Japanese games as whole.
They should complain about this more.

I like JRPGs more just because they're usually simpler. I've always enjoyed games that let you get into them with less effort on your part more.
WRPGs are generally more intricate affairs that try and give you a lot of mechanics to work with and immerse yourself in the world, but that far too often comes at a major playability cost.

>>103197
honestly, I always thought line-of-descent was the most useful one (at least, most useful for defining JRPGs -- any game that is structurally or mechanically descended from Dragon Quest is probably a candidate to be called a JRPG)
it's not perfect, but genres are almost never perfect

>>105242
it probably is, but that doesn't make it less usefully descriptive
it could be worse, you could absolutely be calling these games "DQ-likes", which is way harsher of a label

I'm not too big on RPGs in general. I find JRPGs easier to get into, but I rarely finish them. WRPGs tend to filter me more quickly, but if I like them, I always finish them. Recently, I started playing Divinity Original Sin 2 because it has 4 player online co-op, which my family and I loved in BG3, and we've been having fun.

100% effort is zero effort.
top management wants you to put 200% effort into your work

Idiots should pay for 200% then.

To add on, gambling based jobs don't require you to act in any manner that makes you feel like less of a human for doing. They just like when you make money and if you can make money you're good. Which is mutually beneficial for me because I like when I hit it out of the park and make money too. Only downside is that there's a bit of stress involved in it when the other thing is happening, but that's what humanity has alcohol for.

GURPS Game Anonymous 01/16/25 (Thu) 14:20:13 No.136866 [Reply]

I'm thinking about hosting a tabletop game, we're going to be playing in GURPS (it's really fucking simple to play, I will help with character creation if needed, use GURPS character sheet [https://gurpscharactersheet.com/] instead of doing it manually.)
I'm thinking it'll be a short campaign; probably 4-6 sessions, more if wanted.
If you are interested please post in this thread.
