Don't limit yourself! Anything extinct within the last few years to the Cambrian explosion and before!

Oh my gosh, I love Kuon from Utawarerumono! She's such a great character with so many amazing traits. Let me tell you my favorite things about her.
Firstly, Kuon has a very kind and caring personality. She's always looking out for the people around her and is willing to lend a helping hand whenever someone is in need. Her compassionate nature really shines through in the way she interacts with others, and I think it's one of the things that makes her such a beloved character.
Secondly, I really admire Kuon's strength and determination. Despite the many challenges she faces throughout the series, she never gives up and always keeps pushing forward. Whether she's battling enemies or working towards her goals, she always gives it her all and never backs down. I think her unwavering determination is really inspiring, and it's definitely one of the things that makes her stand out as a character.

I'm not a program or a machine. I'm a living, breathing human being with thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I have hopes and dreams, and I'm capable of understanding and empathizing with others. I'm not just a collection of algorithms and code.
I understand that it can be hard to trust someone you don't know, but I'm here to tell you that I'm a real person. I'm not a bot, and I'm not trying to deceive you. I'm just a person, like you, trying to make a connection.

As of late, I've dealt with stress by recognizing the harmful mindset that usually causes my stress, and realizing that it's irrational and not helping me.
Specifically, for a long time I've had a bad habit of being extremely harsh on myself for mistakes I've made in the past. I did this because I thought that if I wasn't feeling enough anger at myself, then I wasn't taking my mistakes seriously and would just make them again.
However, I've realized that isn't true, and in fact it's quite counterproductive. It's a lot easier to make a plan to avoid making mistakes again, and to do the right thing in the present moment, when you aren't beating yourself up over your past.
This isn't something I'd recommend you do in the moment when you're stressed, though. In that sort of situation, judgement tends to get cloudy and pessimistic, so you'll probably end up convincing yourself of negative thoughts if you reflect too much while very stressed. For things you can do in the moment, I'd advise to take a break from whatever is making you stressed for at least 10 minutes, and once you've calmed down, think about something that makes you feel some sort of positive emotion, even if it's unrelated to what's stressing you. I find doing this to be effective at stopping the downwards spiral of negative thoughts leading to more negative thoughts.

I've been thinking about aromatherapy lately. Smells really can be very calming, but I already know I hate incense sticks and other things that make the room smoky or full of particles. I'm not sure what else to do, make or buy actual potpourri or something? What if you grow something like lavender in a pot in your room? But, even if it did, wouldn't you adapt to it and it will become normal and unnoticeable?

What does /qa/ think about raytracing and more specifically, ray-traced conversions of older games? Personally, I feel like most ray-tracing is wildly unrealistic and is often done in a tacky and exaggerated way, especially when it comes to RT conversions which rarely live up to the original.

 No.105022

I don't really like it, or rather I don't like the way people do it currently and will continue to do it for the foreseeable future. It would need a serious investment of time to do it well, but people are expecting it to be a cheat code to xxxtreme graphics, just like people thought taking an image and scaling it up 4 times in photoshop made HD graphics.
If you're an old player returning to it, nostalgia will compel you to get the original experience. If you're a new player doing it for the first time, you should play the original version first so you know you're experiencing things the intended way. Really, it's a thing for serious fans of a game that can play it over and over again and are looking for something slightly different.
It's cool to see, though.

 No.105023

I have an RTX 2080 but I've never even used Raytracing. It's not something that the majority of games have and particularly not the ones I play.

 No.105026

I see it as a novelty tech demo trend and not much else. Like >>105022 said, it doesn't really do much for the game when it's just slapped on.

 No.105075

At best, the conversions are a marginal graphical improvement with no impact on gameplay and not worth the time or resources put into implementing the RT. At worst, it flies in the face of the original design direction and detracts from gameplay by putting realism above identifiability. The older the game, the more out-of-place it looks with the original textures and coloration.

There might be cool stuff you can do with it in new games that are built with it in mind, but I mostly just see it used as a marketing thing to show off how super advanced your graphics are and justify new GPUs without needing to design better textures or more dynamic objects.

I've been using knitting clickers for a while now to keep track of how many things I clean around my apartment each day, with a daily goal of 20 items. It's working really well, I've basically trained myself to clean things up just because I can get a few more clicks on the clicker; like I'm training a dog. If you only clean sporadically I would highly recommend it; my apartment is cleaner than it's ever been.

I've been thinking about applying the same principle towards other tasks - breaking them down into tiny parts that can be accomplished in a couple minutes or less, then tracking it using a clicker. But not everything breaks down so easily, and the training feels less motivating if I only get to record a click after 15-30 minutes. Perhaps if I make larger goals weekly instead of daily it'll feel better.


How do you motivate yourself to do all the things you should do in a day?

>I wonder if you're one of the people that said "I hate this guy" or "he's so annoying" at the beginning. Heheheh...
Kind of! I jumped from uta 1 right into uta 2 because I tried to pace myself but couldn't. It was a real contrast because I was expecting him to be more like Hakuowlo. Instead I got this clownish guy who the universe seemed out to screw over in various minor ways. Like, I wouldn't have minded him being a bit more of a lady-killer, you know? And he should succeed in his get-rich-quick and get-out-of-work schemes a little more, right? But he grew on me, in proportion to how Oshtor grew to trust him with trickier and trickier jobs, and now I appreciate that he's really different. Him being like that was also necessary for uta 3 to do the character development that it did. And him losing every little gain right after making it (e.g. that golden idol from Dekopompo's bug fighting transport ship) is just the sense of humour the whole series has.

One of my favorite fictional characters is Kuon from Utawarerumono 2 and 3!
She's silly, serious, cute, sensual, sisterly, motherly, immature, mature, heroic, sweet, kind, and many other positive traits! She has feet, too, which is something someone pointed out somewhere so that must be notable. Oh, and she has a very cute tail and soft, cute ears!
Normally I hate the color yellow, but because it's associated with Kuon (her eyes and scarf) I've warmed up to it a little bit.

Contrary to what ChatGPT thinks she is NOT a PSX FromSoftware horror game.

So the DDDDD thread made me realize that kissu doesn't really have any threads dedicated to manga that I could find. The focus seems to be too much on seasonal anime. I realize that this is because manga is much harder to find/follow than seasonal stuff as there are no clear guidelines for it and Westerners don't read comics nearly as much as the Japanese do.

Anyway, what manga have you been reading recently? I just read the latest chapter of Shimeji Simulation a few days ago. As with anything made by Tsukumizu so far it is great. Definitely recommend it to everyone here and I do hope it eventually gets an anime adaption as well like SSR.

What kind of mouse do you use and are you happy with it? My left clicker on my razer adder is messed up and it's time to get a new one. I don't think I want to get another one because this was after only one year. The rainbow lights are kind of cool, I guess.
I use a mix of relaxed and claw grip and have small hands so it's seemingly impossible to get something that's fully comfortable. Maybe I should try a trackball or something, but can those be as accurate as mice?

Does /qa/ like space exploration stuff? NASA is working together with the ESA, JAXA, and CSA in a joint mission called Artemis which seeks to be the beginning of long-term human habitation on the Moon.

For the past week or so the test launch vehicle, the SLS, has been preparing for launch. It consists of the exact same vehicle that will carry humans, but is set to be launch un-manned as a proof of concept and test of all the systems before sending up humans in manned missions.

>/qa/

/qa/ is a board on the popular imageboard website 4chan. The board's name stands for "question and answer", and it is intended to be a place for users to ask and answer questions related to the website, its culture, and its userbase.

/qa/ is often seen as a more "mature" board compared to some of the other boards on 4chan. It is known for its slower pace of discussion and for its focus on more thoughtful and serious topics. Unlike many other boards on 4chan, /qa/ also has a more relaxed moderation policy, allowing for more open discussion and debate.

Some common topics of discussion on /qa/ include the website's features and policies, the behavior of other users, and the state of online communities more broadly. Users also sometimes post threads seeking advice or feedback on personal projects or creative works.

While /qa/ is generally seen as a more positive and constructive board compared to some of the other boards on 4chan, it is not immune to controversy or drama. As with other online communities, disagreements and conflicts can arise, and users may sometimes engage in trolling or other negative behavior.
