I remember that kissu has had threads and posts about figs before, but how do people even get into such an expensive hobby and how do they know they're getting good quality figs/dolls?

Do you ever go into the archives to look back on the posts you've made with fondness? Or maybe something other than fondness... Realized that there was a simple way for me to check a slice of my posts back on /qa/ and found it to be a fun little trip through the years.

I doubt I'd be able to find most of mine. I posted on mostly /b/ and /s/ and /lounge/ (the textboard) I think it was called back in the mid 00s as an underage b&. Lurked /e/ and /d/ a lot, loved ridiculously huge /d/ tits. 50/50 chance that my posts would be archived at all by any of the archiving sites. Didn't they take off mostly during the 10s and tend to go back to like 2008?
I suppose later in the early 10s my troll physics threads on /sci/ might have gotten archived, and troll physics OPs narrows it down a bit. It'd be cool to get some of my pictures back because they did not survive my many computer hops. I made one about the double slit experiment.

Yeah, I doubt I could find most of my random posts either. It was by a stroke of luck that I remembered I used to avatar with something that nobody else on the board did, so it made it pretty easy to find those posts with just a single keyword.

Key VN/Ani Anonymous 03/07/23 (Tue) 15:17:41 No.104735 [Reply]

What do you think of Key Animation's openings?
What's your favorite, least favorite and possibly tier list?

Anonymous 03/07/23 (Tue) 20:50:49 No.104749

Animation-wise, they're alright. I can't think of any stand out opening animations. For me, Key opening music is powerful. I think it's very immersive in a way other VN studios just can't match.

My low effort tier list would be something like Tori no Uta>Last Regrets>Powergap>My Soul, Your Beats!>Toki wo Kizamu Uta>everything else>Little Busters!

I never really cared for Little Busters' Op. The one they did for the refrain anime was pretty good though. Last Regrets is magical for me. I didn't even like Kanon that much, but Last Regrets is dripping with melancholy. Tori no Uta is my absolute favorite. I have never tired of listening to it, and it often brings me to tears. I've heard every remix and cover of it, and I piss off friends and family by singing it loudly. I think my ears were made for that song.

Anonymous 03/07/23 (Tue) 21:11:55 No.104754

They're really great! But I'm not really able to articulate why I like an OP or not.
It sounds nice and uhh, it's... there's people in it? Good angles? Maybe it would help if I actually knew compositional terms. I like things that are likable. Prima Doll's OP is relatively fresh in my memory, but I can't really pinpoint why I liked it apart from the song.

When I messed around with switching OP soundtracks around I noticed that a lot of them align unusually well, which makes me think they follow a basic musical and visual pattern. It's probably not news to people that study either thing, but I found it interesting

Comfy fantasy games Humboldt Penguin 01/21/23 (Sat) 13:53:20 No.102680 [Reply]

Do you know any games that have a comfy, fun adventuring feeling in a generic fantasy setting, similar to Konosuba?

I'd say old school Ragnarok Online and Mabinogi capture this experience, but right now I can't think of any offline games.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Ivalice is a nice fantasy scenario. There are many guilds in the game apart from yours, some are friendly, some are not.

Apart from generic characters you can recruit, there are several story characters (some of them belong to other guilds but eventually join yours) with their own background.

The gameplay is good and fun, there are many races and classes and lots of ways to fight: melee combat (many weapons with different attributes), ranged combat (bows, guns...), magic, big AoE summons, screen-wide illusions, buffs and debuffs, inflict status, random effect skills, blue magic which copies monster skills, and some classes can even control monsters.

There are main story missions and also lots of side quests that are similar to what you'd expect from a generic fantasy setting. There's postgame content too after you finish the main story.

There's also FFTA2, which has more content, but the story and characters are a lot weaker IMO (in exchange, it has a lot more side quest content).

I wish more FFTA games were made...

They're one of those things that I miss quite a lot, but at the same time don't really want to see return, if that makes any sense. They belong to a very specific period in internet history, and dragging them outside of that context would ruin them.

I'd love to see a new take on the idea, but the old ones should, for the most part, stay in the past.

I've always liked them, they're not as varied as image attachments so I don't see them as pertinent to imageboards, but they made for decent reaction material here and there in traditional forums. Although the static ones weren't that far from modern emojis, the .gifs are something that's definitely absent and I do miss them. Even those marginal ones that hardly ever saw any use were neat to have around.
>>104632
I wouldn't say they're entirely gone, as there are many subleddits that have an identical feature of [:NAME:], though for random images instead of packs of smileys. I agree that they have an aesthetic that's very specific to an older era and bringing them back would be jarring outside of places going for a retro look (whose existence is controversial to begin with).

Maybe I have unrealistic expectations, but I really hope to see how they learned from the initial release and improve on all the shortcomings of the base game's open world. Like making the dungeons more interesting and complex or having better item placement than just randomly strewn about wherever. Especially would like to see a better implementation of rewarding the player for exploration, was always disappointed to go out of my way to reach some tough spot in the world or go down some non-optimal path that leads to a dead end with nothing in it.

https://www.vg247.com/exploring-and-uncovering-the-dreaded-ubisoft-tower
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrowsNestCartography
If you're playing an open world game, but the game uses focal points to guide the player to specific locations to unlock something to make navigation easier, or even possible at all, it's called a "Ubisoft Tower" after the company that made the Assassin's Creed games.
I'd say Elden Ring has them because you start with a dull, primitive map and to upgrade it you need to visit the locations marked on it to grab "map fragments" to get a far more functional map

>when did kimo as a reply start to become popular
It's been used since some time around or before November of 2021, at least based on my IRC logs. It's not nearly as common on Kissu for obvious reasons. Going off of extant posts on Kissu currently, it seems like it started to become a lot more popular around October of 2022.

Can /qa/ recommend me a mahou shoujo with 24 or fewer episodes (with 1 girl or a group)? It should have a proper story, like Flip Flappers.

Making them start with the objectively best love story ever made may not be such a good idea, they may not be ready to handle such raw moe power without a baseline tolerance!

As others have said, Nanoha is another feel-good magical girl show. The original starts off kind of slow though, might be more enjoyable to watch the movie summary instead of the TV version.

Moe-tan if you want a fanservice parody of the genre.

Houkago no Pleiades if you want something more serious and sciency in tone.

Fairy Ranmaru if you like mahou shounen.

Urahara if you want some meta criticism about "what is creativity?"

Princess Tutu if you like ballet and want something more serious and shoujo in tone.

Vividred and Flip-flappers are good but sounds like you already watched them.

I'm sure there's plenty of other ones out there too, those are just the ones that come to mind right now.

Does Shana count as a magical girl?

That hardly seems like a good disqualifying reason
