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.

What's your favorite yokai/Japanese folklore being? I think most people are probably going to say kitsune, but the bakeneko is interesting as well. The Sawarineko in Monogatari was based on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakeneko
It's a cat spirit associated with curses that not only it can possess people like how it's demonstrated in Monogatari, but also kill them and take their place by shapeshifting into the person, similar to how kitsune also have shapeshifting powers. It's the opposite of the maneki-neko which brings good luck. You know, that cat figurine with a raised paw.

You probably know a fair bit more than you think, but normally when they're presented in anime and stuff the youkai aren't exactly treated as or specifically stated to be folklore monsters because they just are. It's ingrained into the culture so seeing them isn't as out of place. And even then because it's so ingrained there's many different interpretations. Like the Nine-tails from Naruto is an interpretation of kitsune and in the folklore nine tails signifies the highest level of kitsune. Likewise for a more recent big shounen, in Jujutsu Kaisen Ryouman Sukuna is an actual piece of folklore himself too. Uchouten Kazoku is basically entirely about youkai and folklore.

Though I wonder at what point we stop calling things folklore and start calling them just urban legends? Since Hanako-san is technically a youkai but is more of a recent thing in that it's post-WWII. Similarly there's a fair bit of urban legends/yurei/yokai that one can see across japanese fiction that have certified themselves in the culture post-WWII but I don't know if we can call them folklore either... Technically I think they should be.

One of my favorite shows is getting a sequel soon. I really like this series and think a lot of people passed over it because it was said to be a Madoka rip-off when the anime came out. I've been reading the LNs and they're really good. I think they'd be a perfect series for someone learning kana.

The new season of the anime should be really good because it will cover what is arguably the best two LNs in the series. The only downside is it'll probably be 12 episodes instead of 24. It's a lot of content to cover in 12 episodes. The first season felt really fast paced because of that. I don't want to spoil anything but suffice to say characters are introduced quickly and certain events happen too fast.

Anyone else a fan of Raising Project? I don't understand why this series isn't more popular. It feels like only a few people have seen it. I am hopeful season 2 will do good in the ratings and maybe we'll get some OVAs or something. A proper video game based on this series would be really fun.

They're not really connected. Battle harems were the previous braindead LN template that got adapted way too often. The edgy mahou shoujo trend just fell off over time as Madoka became a distant memory and the genre slowly reverted back to light-hearted stuff like Twin Angel and Ore.

There's been many a time where I've stumbled upon a character and ironically stated, "Yup, that's me". Pretending or even lying to myself that I'm that character. But that's not the case here, this is me. I am literally Magia Baiser, Baiser is me. The mangaka wrote the story and I was who it was based on. You could not possibly craft a character that was more me than this. That's because if you were to change anything it would not be me, since it's me.

Coming off the final episode, the inbetween chapters made for a perfect finale to the season that left open the chance of a continuation while also wrapping things up in a satisfying manner. Venarita's scheming and the wider world of Mahou Shoujo are still out there, but for now in Utena's hometown she's satisfied with having achieved an ideal balance. She can peacefully play out her role as the villain while toying with her idols. Glad they didn't try to go for an anime original end so the massive success can be capitalized for a second season.

Although here's hoping that they can upgrade to a better studio with a larger budget in S2, since that was probably my biggest gripe with the anime.

I thought you were meant to look down on long-term lurkers for being pathetic cowards and freeloaders, but as the “lurk moar” meme has been taken more and more seriously, it seems people have come to see lurking for months or even years before posting anything as an integral part of board culture. I couldn't disagree with that idea more. It goes against the spontaneity that makes the internet fun. For most communities, if you can't get along with it after a few days using it, you should just leave it alone, rather than stalking it until you can pretend to fit in. And I enjoy seeing people share their first reactions to a forum or board, before gradually becoming more seasoned posters over time. It's refreshing.

To answer your question people simple say stupid shit these days. I lurk on one forum yet there still seems to be a lot of unfulfilled social interactions that stem from there. Compared to that, I guess imageboards are better if you lurk though. Not all of them but most. On the flip side, very young kids born after gen 4 pokemon will not lurk period. A lot of them are straight up illiterate, so the older bunch will most likely take their time to lurk even if its like useless too, seeing that older crowds are slowly posting less and less anyways. Didn’t really mean to turn the topic into IBs dying but….if you take out lurking they legitimately fucking die lmao. If i wanted to talk to literal children i’d hang out on youtube or something.

Do you use any software that other people may not know about that you like?
I started using (and eventually even bought!) this thing called Wallpaper Slideshow after trying a bunch of free ones and getting frustrated. https://www.gphotoshow.com/wallpaper-slideshow-pro.php
Basically, you give it folder(s) of your choice and it will assemble a collage image of them and make it your background. You can configure it with a timer that changes it and I have it set to 15 minutes. I had originally used John's Background Switcher that someone thankfully linked to me a few months ago: >>91800 https://johnsad.ventures/software/backgroundswitcher/
I liked this one more because there's less wasted space, more options, and it just generally seems to assemble the image better. I turn it off before I go to bed each night though because I'm worried that it's keeping my hard drive active all day, which probably isn't good. I should maybe research that sometime...

This pairs well with something like Grabber ( https://github.com/Bionus/imgbrd-grabber ) that can bulk download tags from booru sites.
Of course, this stuff is kind of wasteful if you don't have an extra monitor with a wallpaper that's largely visible, but I find myself like that sometimes so it's pretty nice.

This is something I've been using for a few years and it just exists passively in the background so I forget about it. It's a simple program that automatically reduces the blueness of your screen dependent on your set sleep schedule and/or time of day. This is important for reducing eyestrain and supposedly it helps you sleep, but I can't confirm the latter. It's based on the reasoning that blue light is artificial and new whereas the sun in the evening and even fire is orange and that's what our eyes have adapted to process.
There are other programs that do it (and newer OS versions have their own version I think) but this is the one I've used. I wonder if there's better stuff out there, but this is free and it does exactly what it's supposed to do so I haven't bothered looking.

Been thinking about this ever since I got my Bluetooth headphones. They support LDAC, but Windows has no real bluetooth codec support like Android does. Found this which replaces the Bluetooth driver and adds support for LDAC, AptX LL, AptX HD. It works too. I was skeptical at first, but I tried it out with my Fiio BTR3 which has a little LED indicator that changes color based on codec used, and it absolutely works. I seriously appreciate being able to use LDAC with granular settings. My headphones used to cut out whenever I would walk to the kitchen and stand near my fridge, but now it just cuts down to a lower bandwidth and maintains the connection.

It's paid, but with a week-long trial period. If you buy it before the trial expires, you get a discounted price. Only gripe is that the license is hardware-tied, meaning you need to buy additional licenses for any additional computers you have. The price is discounted for additional purchases, but it still is kind of annoying. Still, I think it's well worth the price.

I want to nakadashi *girl* has become a popular phrase on imageboards (mostly 4chan). But it's a mix of Japanese and English. If I was going to say "I want to cum inside Holo" fully in Japanese, how would I go about doing that? In the English sentence, nakadashi is a loan word and it is the action being done, but in Japanese I don't think 中出し is a verb. Can it be verbified by adding する to it? And then you conjugate it to say you "want" to do it. So the end result would be 私はホロで中出ししたい which would translate to I want to cum inside Holo. Am I correct?

Japanese is fun to learn.

At least for manga I got a habit of drawing them to look them up, doesn't take that long to draw a kanji anyways. I feel like it reinforces what it looks like to me and I can do this from my phone when travelling as well. Maybe not necessarily the most effective way as I've never tried OCR, but I can do it on public transport commute with ease which is better than not doing it at all.
