This may be a bit much to go over in the game thread itself, so maybe just a preliminary Terraria server thread would be good for going over everything out there, general discussion of the game and such. I'll probably post the address and set up for the server itself when I've got everything ready and decided on. Depending on how fast we can get a list of things to add agreed upon, I may even start it up come this weekend.

It's been since the Labor of Love update being added that I last played any vanilla terraria, and then even more time since I played the game modded. So with the game seemingly all finished with its own updates and the mod loader up to date with the current version (and having been so for a good while now it seems), I was wondering what's the current definitive Vanilla+ experience one can make with the current mod selection? I know for sure I want to have these two included:

Playing by the "best methods and rules as per common sense specialist consensus and other cool concepts like reasonability, logics, empiricism, gestalt" even if it only ends up that I'm only hitting such unimaginable rock-bottoms that should not be possible despite anythings. Laws of physics being bent just to have my precise efforts not pay off even as failure. Reading almost relatable blog posts just to have the immersion break as there's casual break of relatability "anyway, I'm handling my promotion/girlfriend/business/projects/parties well even if I'm an anxietybrained reclusive awkward schizoidpilled neuropathymaxxer-" - don't fucking speak in any of such terms if those terms are not the only thing left in the rational corner of your life. This is not even misery, because at least misery offers a sweet narrative to overdose on. Cutting into my carotid while standing would help me cope in the most quick manner, but no, I just "HAVE" to see what kind of utter bullshit I've yet to see. "Snake eyes can only be rolled so many times" - man who's about to roll snake eyes indefinitely.

What do you think happens when we die?

I think we continue to exist and there are a bunch of different people that attempt to trick us into having our memory wiped then entering their matrix.

I'm pretty sure where we're all out now is some kind of matrix. I think there are tons of them.

When you die you "see the light" and are drawn to it but it's a trap. I think and hope you can go off in any other direction and find a more comfy matrix to hangout it. Hopefully one that is full of good people and lolis. Maybe if you're lucky you can find someone about to give birth and choose what you want to be in your next run through the game. I'm personally going to attempt to find a place where magical girls are real.

I think a lot of people want to believe this kind of thing is true and that's why isekai series suddenly became so popular a few years ago. Everyone here is miserable and wants out.

I hate the modern web so much. Have to link to this guy's video because the original has been taken down.

This is what I'm talking about. I've seen a lot of these since I was a kid. I always had a telescrope by my bed growing up and a large window I could look at the moon and stars through. I've seen this so many times. It's really strange.

They're waves that go across the moon's surface. Like it's being redrawn or something. I'm not saying the moon isn't real. In fact, I think it was placed there on purpose by something or someone. Lots of theories about it being a space ship or something. We don't have life on the Earth without the moon. At least not life as we know it.

The moon also effects moods from what I can tell. Lots of stories about the full moon making people go a bit bonkers. Local police and hospitals say they always get more problems with people during full moons. I usually wake up in the middle of the night during full moons for no good reason. I often end up going outside to look at it for awhile.

Some anon on /x/ posted charts about there being some large object you have to dodge upon death or you end up coming back here memory wiped. I can't find them in archives or I'd share them. He was into the old we're all a small piece of a bored God thing. That eventually if you work hard enough you can work your way back up the chain and merge with it again. Says the God split itself into pieces because it was bored and wanted to learn. The only way to learn was sending pieces out of itself to experience emotions and hardships+conflict. That everything you learn in your live(s) eventually goes back to "source" I think he called it. He said some souls have rebelled and refuse to merge with it again. Those are the "evil" spirits. He also said that you could refuse to incarnate and become god-like if you wanted. That you could create your own worlds and all that.

I've personally been asking the "why are we here?" and "What's the point" questions since I was a child. I've noticed that most people don't think about those things. They're so busy and consumed with day-to-day life that they don't have the time or energy.

Here is a good example of what I'm talking about. A guy believed the Earth was flat. He decided to build his own rocket and ride it to see for himself. His rocket exploded (probably due to sabotage) and he died.

What does the mainstream do? They laugh at him and call him an idiot. They lampoon him and play this story on every major television station in the country. I'm sure his family and friends really appreciated that...

This man was awesome and he had balls. How many other people do you know building rockets in their shed and attempting to fly them up into space? He shouldn't be laughed at. He was obviously pretty smart if he could build his own rocket. He'd ridden it several times before the last flight that killed him.

At the very least he shouldn't be slandered by the media after his death. The guy wasn't even in the ground and his family and friends were in mourning. They should have been allowed to bury him and mourn without having to deal with the MSM and everyone on the internet laughing at him.

You can think he's wrong because he believed the Earth was flat. That's fine. But you have to respect him. He was practicing the scientific method. He was trying to verify his theory through work and experimentation. He was a scientist. Science isn't a dogma. It's a method. I think a lot of people forget that.

Magnetic/Solar Lunar winds and Moon redistributing Earth's pressure and gravity aren't quite mindblowers
What's really weird is - HOW COME the side of the Moon we see has an imprint on it that's corresponding with Earth's surface map? This isn't even much of a stretch of the map, especially for something so precise and abstracted. Theories of surface sunburn, impact markings make no sense. Of it's magnetic field imprinting, it's neither too accurate or too inaccurate to make sense, especially when there's still solar wind actively passing between the Moon and the Earth - i.e. Moon markings would fluctuate visibly hard. My only schizo hunch is that the Moon's surface was turned into a map by civilizations that needed it, before recorded history. You wouldn't even need a spacefaring type of advance, just lens systems channeling focused light from 10-100 millions of mirrors (depends on mirror quality, and if there are phase shift array calculatios and adjustments involved), and indefinite time (from centuries to a millennium). You don't even need to burn the surface, even heating it up as the magnetic field is disturbed and Sun chimes in would be enough over centuries. All the map warpings could be explained by: the capital of the civilization was on a small island AND/OR pre-flood territories are included AND/OR they just fucked up because it WOULD be difficult to organize this with accuracy AND/OR scope creep - begin with mapping some island but concede on rushing the rest of the known map with less drawing space left AND/OR only the corresponding part is the map, the restbare natural patterns left as-is. You wouldn't even quite detect mirrors as an archeologist, because they break down into sand. Yoi wouldn't need frames for the mirrors. Ancient civilizations of recordPost too long.

We may hate work and think work's bad, but have you ever considered what kind of job you'd actually be into should you ever have the opportunity? I was thinking about it and if it didn't conflict with all the other learning goals I have I'd like to try out being a chef and getting an intense course on actually busting my ass to make food for people. Think it'd be the kind of opportunity that'd really help me out in the long run for not just having the ability to perform a job that'll never lose appeal, but also to be capable in making food for myself and not having to go out to eat for a really nice meal.

>We may hate work and think work's bad, but have you ever considered what kind of job you'd actually be into should you ever have the opportunity?

Race car driver. I'm good at it. I can consistently shave time off my lap times. If I have someone to follow I can learn their line in 1-2 laps and then improve upon it. I know the strategy. I know how to mange tire wear and fuel. I can limp a bad car/bike home. I build engines and understand everything else on the cars/bikes and how to set them up. I've been studying the game since I was 2 years old.

But I wasn't born into a rich family and my father refused to help me when I was young. All because my mother that abandoned the family when I was 6 years old was against then. Then at 6 Dad said I was too far behind the other kids that started at age 3-4 to ever catch up. He was wrong.

I will never get a chance to do what I was put on the planet to do outside of crappy little events that don't matter. So now I'm stuck building engines for other people. The closest I can get to what I should be doing are track days and riding way too fast on my bike on public roads. I only ride bikes because they're much cheaper than cars to get my speed fix.

I should be a multi-millionaire by now with multiple championships under my belt. I wanted to be the first man to win Indy 500 and World 600 on the same day. I know it's doable. I wanted to be the first man to compete in the Bathhurst 1000 while running an American series (NASCAR) full time. I wanted to be the first man to win a race in F1, Indy car and NASCAR. But my dreams are unobtainable because I'll never convince some rich guy to let me turn even 1 lap in a proper car.

I got robbed and they wonder why I'm constantly depressed. Basically, every dream I ever had get crushed by the people I live with (family and friends). They're all too concerned about safety and not taking any chances.

I had the money a few years ago thanks to my Grandfather leaving me some to take a chance at starting a new racing series and developing a new type of car that would be cheap for people to build. I wanted to start up something like NASCAR but for people like me that don't have 1 million dollars to spend on building a car. Basically, I've figured out how to build a car that can do 200mph for under 10k. If Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

The main reason why I'm good at racing/driving/riding is because I have absolutely no fear of speed. In fact, to me speed is like a drug. Everyone slows down when I'm driving at the limit. It's the only time I am happy and things feel right in the world.

I don't care if I die. I'd rather die young doing what I love than dying of old age while I'm shitting myself in a diaper and unable to walk.

I became a drug addict in my teens-early 30s because I was unable to get my speed fix daily. If I'm not behind the wheel or on a bike multiple times a week I drown my sorrows in opioids, alcohol, various other pills and whatever else I can get my hands on.

The "American dream" and "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" is all bullshit. Without family support behind you it's impossible to make it. I mostly blame my mother and to a lesser extent my father. I love them both. But they've basically did everything in their power to shut down every dream, idea, or plan I've ever had.

The worse part is usually years later they berate me for not doing the things they talked me out of doing years ago. I don't know what it is but it's like everyone I know has a goldfish memory. I can remember most everything that's happened to me since childhood in extreme detail. They don't remember things we talked about two days ago.

Anyway, yea I'm bitter because I never got a chance to do the one thing I'm good at. It's the to the point now that I'm so angry and depressed about it that I can't even watch other people doing the sport(s) I love. I've pretty much stopped watching racing all together.

Racing a car is really easy now too. Most anyone could do it now with all the technical aids, cool suits, gearboxes and all that other bullshit that comes along with it.

When I was growing up the fields in all racing series were made up of guys that got their start on small local tracks and worked their way up to the big stage. It's impossible to do that now. You have to be born rich. Now all the big racing series fields are composed of a bunch of rich kids riding around and getting paid big sponsorship money to make social media posts. All of the major ones have been ruined with stupid rules for safety and rules to appease sponsors. It isn't even racing it's just rich kids riding around in go-karts. I know I could beat them all Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I've gone on too much about my regrets. I'll share something positive;

My plan for a new cheap race car/series is this. Build a 3/4th scale chassis one-seater based on the old stock car designs circa 1980s-1990s. The engine will be 1 liter motorcycle engine from sports bikes. This will allow multiple manufacturers to compete. Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda and other manufacturers that want to make inline-4s that meet our regulations. Since chassis are so cheap to produce in the future hopefully they'd start making their own street legal versions.

Cars will not be open wheel and the driver would have full roll cage around him along with windshield. Engine mounted mid-ship (behind the driver) in a mid-ship configuration. Rear wheel drive with locked axle so no diff. Means both rear tires will spin at same rates and car will not have independent rear suspension. Tires will be bias-ply tires instead of radials. All of this puts the race back in the driver's hands and makes racing more skill based instead of a technological arms race.

Touring series would take place on a variety of tracks: dirt ovals, short concrete/asphalt ovals, super speedways, road courses and straight line times rally courses. This forces drivers to adapt and ensures most skilled driver+team wins series championship.

No bullshit rules for safety like modern racing series. No hans device required. Open face helmet permitted. Contact between cars encouraged like old NASCAR (rubbing is racing!). Tracks F1 and other series stopped going to would be accepted into rotation. Driver's can use safety stuff is they want but those that dislike it can race too.

Limits on how many engines/tires a team can use for a race weekend to keep costs down.

Since cars will be slightly smaller than road going cars they'll be able to go 2-4 wide on tracks that are one-lane affairs with most current series.

Pit stops would be like old NASCAR. 5 lug nuts per wheel. 15-16 inch wheels. Gasoline poured in from a can that only get gravity assist (no forced pumps). Jack man has to use real floor jack. No speed limits on pit road.

Hey so I've been thinking about this for a while and if I'm going to have a nice room in the future what's /qa/'s opinion on learning architecture for getting the best idea of what I should build vs just winging it and saying "yeah that's a good little space for myself"? For a long while I've been thinking about what to do when I move out of my current abode (and into another not owned by myself yet), but what just sprung up to me as a possible idea I hadn't really given much thought was having a room to myself vs the idea of having my own little section of house. The thought struck me and now I can't get it out of my head that I really like that idea in particular. Does anyone have any experience with at least thinking about this too? Because I was really inspired when I went to Japan and the hotel structure fit almost everything I could think of to make a place liveable sans a kitchen into a somewhat small space.

I don't really know where else to post this, seeing as /maho/ seems to be more about personal computers.
Perhaps we can get a general video tape thread going, just in case there's anything you'd like to share: Tape-only anime; VHS-rips of official releases or old TV broadcasts; general tech discussion.

But the reason I'm making this thread in the first place: Would anyone here happen to be experienced with multi-standard / worldwide video VCRs that can play absolutely anything?
I got my hands on a Famicom that only features RF output and, due to brain damage, I'd prefer to use that one over an AV alternative. The problem is that I'm in a PAL region and I was told that, to make the thing work on my own TV, I would need to route it through a multi-system VCR that is able to properly convert the signal into one that my PAL TV can display correctly. This would be the perfect solution for me as I always wanted to own a multi-system anyway, but I lack the experience necessary to not accidentally shell out a lot of money for the wrong device. Apparently, not all multi-systems are "true" multi-standard / some don't actually "convert" the signal and I'm too stupid to know what to look out for in this regard. I read that you're supposed to look out for units that demand 100 - 240V AC on the back, but I'm unsure if that's the whole trick already.

Feel free to ignore the question and just post anything VHS-related.

>Anyways, to anyone daydreaming about VHS: please forget about tapes and you will be happier. No matter what a nostalgia addled brain thinks, it's not something you want to go back to. 352x288, interlaced, no rgb, just composite, it's impossible to rip tapes without a professional VCR, those things tend to self destruct worse than laser discs with the years, and the tapes degrade too. The last time I played Porco Rosso, most of the colour was gone.
I don't care. If it comes with the territory then that's fine by me.
It's not the same as it used to be and it will never be the same.

It takes divinity to manage to pull magic out of old tech. Yokoi was right, it matters much more how you use things than if they're cutting-edge. This isn't war where you need to keep going and going ad nauseum.

As stated in /amv/'s DGC thread, I'm replying here because it's more fitting.

>>>/amv/9837
It is! The still is taken from my own home release copy however, with all capture settings set to default, which sadly makes it look just a little bit more bleached out than it looks on my TV. I have since bumped up the saturation and color of my scaler to best match the output of my SNES and I'm too lazy to always switch that around. I am not from a Locomotion area, but funnily enough, I believe the VHS and / or TV rip that's out there from Aika actually is from Locomotion! That's where I first heard their name even.
It's an awesome show with a kickass soundtrack!

I like to get physical releases as well, though it's hard to find the ones I really want, like the 10 tapes (I think it was) of Ashinaga Ojisan, a single tape of which I once saw get offered for like 100 bucks! Like as if there are more than 5 people looking for them, if that.

Tracking and the little bit of signal disturbance aside, this really just looks and sounds like an average blown up SD video. I used one of the lower end consumer tapes I bought off of a granny specifically for taping over and can't say how often it got recorded to before this. The only really funky tapes I own I can't tape over because they have sentimental value, so I might try to force-degrade this one soon. Or check my own bad tapes to see just how much late-90s setups might have affected that traditional VHS-Rip characteristic.

WELCOME BACK STREAM~!

No one show up. It's an Umumusume movie I watched before I left to Japan that I like, but Higurashi was taking the time slot.

Feel free to show or not. I'm gonna rewatch it.
0:30AM EST in 1 hour from now!

What I didn't get before re-watching it was that it's a movie about fears holding you back and how a what-if is nothing more than a crutch.

Pokke afraid that she'd never surpass the rival who quit
Tachyon afraid that she'd injure herself if she kept going. I didn't really get the Tachyon part until watching it a bit again.

There are a few other themes in there about arrogance and coming to understand what strength is. I'm sure you could pick apart some other details to it. It's surprisingly philosophical

 No.160261

Oh, and like Tachyon and Pokke having the same prism. The prism probably is some abstract idea, but that they both have it shows that they share a similar ideal.

Going to Japan this summer, and I really want to avoid sticking out as some obnoxious foreigner. I was wondering if there's any helpful tips for how to conduct oneself or what'd really stick out to wear around so I can avoid packing it. It seems like a country that's pretty tolerant so it's not like I'll get beat up for just being a normal tourist, but I also don't want to come off as some unkempt freak who gets judged everywhere I go. To maximize my enjoyment of the trip I've been looking to find out what is and isn't acceptable and what's social faux pas or things to avoid.

For example, I was reading up on Japanese law recently and learned that under Act No. 52 of 1999 it's actually illegal to buy JCs off the streets. Which is just an important reminder to /qajp/ that you should always check the laws of where you're going to!

If you rent one of the electric bikes from the station, you can see most of the town in one full day to be honest, two days to take everything in like I did would be plenty. The town is so full of unique shops and restaurants, you could add another day or two just checking those out. My idea for next time is to rent some gear and do some fishing in the ocean during my stay.

Most restaurants and stores "adopt" a GuP character as a mascot and hand out pins and stuff when you shop, so it's interesting to go around looking for them.

This map has a lot of good info for that stuff:

The next trip I do I'll probably take the ferry from hokkaido to oorai.

Hopefully the next movie doesn't land in 2026 so I can use my money for other things

Why do a lot of people insist on using Western naming order for Japanese names? Is "[Surname] [Name]" really such a difficult concept to grasp for gaijin? I mean just switch the two around, it's not that hard and it's a lot more accurate to the real names.

I think this is somewhat undervaluing the choice of a name when it comes to characters. People will spend a significant amount of time on finding the right symbolism or meaning to attach to a character through the name, even if sometimes it’s something very simple like naming your black haired character 黒. Well, in that case it’s probably not so much a case of having to think hard…

 No.160157

Either order can be fine I guess. But I prefer the Japanese order when watching anime because I want what's subtitled to match what I'm hearing.

>>160133
>I'd think it's for the same reason you almost never hear Westerners pronounce Japanese names correctly and with rolled Rs - they aren't used to it.
Rolling the R/Ls is really difficult for a gaijin of any background. Maybe not people that natively speak spanish I guess. When I took Japanese as a second language out teacher spent weeks on the rolling the L/R thing. Took me ages to get it acceptable to her even though I knew I was still awful at it due to my native accent.

This is mostly due to CR doing it one way and the few fansubbers around doing it the other way I think. Plus most "fansubbers" these days typically start with a CR script for seasonals or a really old script for old stuff. Then add in the fact that a lot of them want to overly westernize things while the other ones want to be overly literal. It's like common sense translations have vanished. There is a healthy balance between the two but modern releases seem to go to one extreme or another on this and it's super annoying.

I don't have to rely on subtitles for most things these days. I'm out of practice so sometimes I do need to fall back for some shows (but I try to use that as practice and learning new kanji and such). What's annoying about it is wanting to share a show with someone that doesn't know the language but also doesn't like dubs. I hate sharing a good show with them if the subtitles are done badly. Both TL wise but also with things like bad timing or spamming way too much crap on screen which causes you to pause all of the time to know wtf is happening or seeing jokes in backgrounds.

Paniponi is one such show that comes to mind with this problem in every release I see. The DVD actually attempted to do a really good job. But all the modern releases of it on public/private trackers have just copy/pasted their script without bothering to convert the subtitles to .ass or to attempt to do some basic type setting. I know it's a lot of work but you'd think someone would have come along by now and done that since it's such a popular show. Those releases typically donPost too long.

Can someone explain to me why vtubers and ecelebs are treated like different entities when they're practically the same thing and bring basically the same kind of discussion aside from people also jacking off to one of the two? I think it even effects me to an extent because while I want to bully and humiliate vtuber posters, I don't feel the urge to physically reach through the series of tubes connecting us and strangle the people posting them.
