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.

You can do it!

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.

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.

As an addendum, I guess I'll list my favorite tracks from each game.

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.

What do you think the future of the anime industry will be like with Japan being in massive economic decline and everything? I do think it's time to acknowledge there's an overall decrease in the quality of productions over time that is related to that. The studios simply do not have enough money to pay the animators, voice actors, writers, etc, and the former big ones are all shadows of their former selves splintered into 500 different irrelevant ones.

>with Japan being in massive economic decline and everything?
What?
Not only has japan recovered from the crash a long time ago, it's been seeing great economic changes recently like the major devaluation of the yen. Japan's economy is comparable to any other developed economy, perhaps better with how comparatively industrialized it is, not "dying".
>The studios simply do not have enough money
The main problem is too much money not a lack of it. Too much Netflix, amazon, Disney+ - too many "international media products". The allure of pandering to westerners is much for the megacorporations. We need a focus on lower budget anime for a japanese, otaku, audience. If they need 20 gazillion dollar for their SnK Movie or whatever, they can go to hell and burn.

On the chinese vs western influence conversation:
My position is pretty clear above, but if you put a gun to my head then chinese censorship is better. Chinese are east-asians, with a strong positive 2d culture compared to the west's insincere, "ironic", one.
Western influence is both more subtle but also much more pervasive - there's is no outright "censorship" in the west and we are using the word in the proverbial sense; but yet the decline of a more japanese character with more cultural references and things westerners just wouldn't get is noticeable in newer anime, in favor of things more palatable to an international audience. China's censorship is for the internal market and does not really influence the creative process anywhere near as much unless your anime is about like, the sino-japanese wars. If China had the same amount of influence in anime as the west has with their netflixes and disney's, maybe you'd see more anime set in pseudo ancient china like maomao.

AI images made by someone that knows what they're doing with current illustrious/noobAI merged models already look better than what 99.99% of human artists can do and that only takes ~6GB VRAM. What's stopping GPUs from having 512GB or more VRAM for <$5k in a few years? Scarcity of powerful GPUs is all I see standing in the way of heavily AI assisted anime production.

 No.148646

>>148642
extreme techno-optimism, maybe AI is better than 99.9% of humanity at drawing, but not nearly the same level of actual artists. And there’s no real control over what it spits out. So it’s got a long way before replacing anime.

I don't understand how the japanese copyright system works. It simultenously appears as hyper retrictive when it comes to patents and modifications, same with copyrighted characters. But at the same time there's a big doujin/independent scene where people can create works out of copyrighted works. See Touhou for example. I know ZUN gave his consent to fan projects but I wonder if that's an exception rather than the rule. Some japanese laws seem draconian to me.

>but in practice are tolerated for cultural reasons
Does this stem from an old law or something? I've heard from a guy who did a research project that the reason video game tournaments in Japan used to not offer cash prizes was because they fell under the umbrella of an old anti-gambling law that was enacted in the 70's, I think, to counter crime groups.

>>147959
I couldn't really tell you. I was mostly thinking of e.g. the community-fostering effect that secondary works have. Also like >>147949 points out, the doujin community is often a stepping stone for artists. It would make the IP holders look terrible.

>anti-gambling law
This one's also full of loopholes (lol pachinko), but I don't want to derail the thread. Generally speaking the Japanese are masters at bullshitting their way through things using technicalities and vague wording, see also: anti-prostitution legislation.

I can also play Soku though I'm far from what you'd consider good at the game. Though I'm always down to play against people better than me. If anything I'm usually worried if I'm wasting people's time by being worse. Sent an invite btw but it's a tad too late for me rn to play games.

I'm new to soku myself and it's pretty different from other fighting games I played. As far as skill gap goes it's fine for me either way.
