How come more modern anime struggles with making me feel so often while games are still able to do it pretty easily? It's not like we lost the writing ability, it's right there.

Anonymous 12/28/24 (Sat) 23:30:48 No.136215

Because most of it is adapted from trend-chasing "novels" by glorified fanfiction writers whose highest aspiration is to help people kill time on the train to work and because you're not playing the big, popular games that come out these days.

It's time to cool off with the 2024 autumn season!
Does anything catch your eye? Do you think you'll fall in love with a show? Do we need more sequels?

>because suddenly people were being forced to pay for their hosting out of pocket again
What else did they expect? It has been the rule of the internet since day 1 that you pay for your hosted contents out of pocket. The fate of websites are determined by how that payment is acquired. Those who don't want to pay for that shouldn't expect any free lunch.

Pixiv vs Twitter Anonymous 06/01/22 (Wed) 02:12:22 No.90678 [Reply][Last50 Posts]

Which side does /qa/ take? Obviously pixiv would probably be better for searching (although boorus are even more preferable for that) and viewing a long list of art at once. However, in recent days I've been using twitter's feed more and I think that in terms of discovering new artists and likewise finding interesting stuff from people you haven't already followed it's a lot more convenient. Also the previews are a lot easier to see. So in terms of finding content, which do you think makes for the better go-to feed?

Heh, that's pretty good. (and thanks for the translation).
There was that time at the very beginning when there were AI-derived jokes like the rainbow penis that artists drew themselves, but things have advanced a bit too far to see fun errors like that, really. Well, generally.

The new league starts in a few hours so I thought I'd advertise the /qa/ mansion guild here in case anyone wants to play it. We're around 6-7 right now, but I have enough guild slots so that we can accommodate pretty much the whole /jp/ spinoff population that still plays games (upper limit of 30-ish if I'm assuming generously). The bulk of us are going to be playing on softcore-ruthless so I'd recommend doing that too if you want to reap the benefits of a shared use stash. But, anyone that just wants a bunch of free space can join to use it in normal/hc too. We have a good deal of space https://files.catbox.moe/b6cox8.jpg so poor NEETs can enjoy the convenience of paying without needing to spend a dime.

So if you're interested post your userid or character name ITT if you want me to invite you, we're fine with anyone that's not a complete subhuman.

I kinda wonder, how do people discover new music today? There's such a vast expanse of stuff out there and most all of it is hidden in its own corner of the internet. If you know what you're searching for maybe it's easier, but finding completely new stuff that appeals to you seems like an extremely tough endeavor. Are there any good methods /qa/ knows of or is word of mouth the best way still?

After years of being told I'm in the wrong line of work I've decided to take a shot at what I was born to do: writing.

I'm going to write and publish a LN before the end of this year. I just wanted to tell someone so I stick to this goal. I don't imagine it'll be that great but I've taken a look at other books and LNs people are publishing and they aren't that great either.

Will my friends here read the first draft when I'm done?

Thread getting bumped is kind of depressing. Since other stuff took so much of my time this year that I haven't gotten anything down yet. I have managed to flesh out the story some more. I have a BIG BAD, I have an MC, I have most of the world fleshed out. I just haven't figured out how I'm going to get from the initial introduction of the first MC to the second real MC.

I'm going to set-up a dedicated emacs machine for writing so I'm not so sidetracked with software projects and try to focus more on this after the holidays. Since every time I got started on this over the last months I'd get side tracked working on my various software projects or video projects. Video stuff ate up A LOT of my time over the summer. Far more than I expected since I ended up working on three shows I never planned to. It got so busy I didn't even finish the one video project I planned on doing this year on time.

what OP/EDs do you like? I was thinking about the popularity of LycoReco when it came out and how nice it'd be to see more anime inspired by gunslinger girl since that was one hell of a boson anime. the OP for it being one of my favorites and having that early 2000s english indie song for its op. also do you remember that in the same season lycoreco aired there was another original anime "engage kiss" that failed miserably and was just a soulless gacha cashgrab checking boxes to try and hook a playerbase, lycoreco had no tie-in and was the biggest anime besides bocchi so goes to show how far creating something good takes you compared to trying to cash out on the trendy market researched ideal money printer

A decade ago, I was visiting this shady site selling self-defense lessons and when I moved to close the tab, a voice loudly yelled WAIT!

We don't really have haggle culture in my country. People who attempt haggle are just seen as a nuisance and may even be ignored in online second hand trades.
Haggle culture is inefficient for everybody involved. It is better if people try to offer reasonable prices and leave it at that so the buyer and seller does not have to constantly waste time in their life trying to get a better deal. I can't imagine having to haggle all day every day like they do in some of the poorest countries because it's just expected.
I walk into a store and if I don't like the price I leave and find another store. This makes haggling unecessary.

It's fine for large purchases like cars and houses though, it makes more sense to argue for a while when we're talking thousands or hundreds of thousands, but not for cheap items.

I love haggle culture online. Whenever I use ebay I try to find listing that have the "make an offer" to see if I can drop the price. Usually 60-80% of the original list price is achievable. In public is a different matter though. I couldn't imagine haggling at an electronics store or a furniture store or something.

I'm way too scared of offending other people to try to haggle. I'd much rather not buy it at all.

Are there any games that can properly depict war in its extremely stressful and horrific light? Or will we only really be able to to get that sort of experience made eventually through VR? I feel like, thinking about the potential of AI, this could be one of the few genres that AI would be almost necessary to properly make a less gamey more overbearing experience.
