Fast Food
What’s the current state of McDonald’s and other fast food? Realized I need to eat and nothing else is really open at midnight. I feel like if I go to McDonald’s even if I get a normal cheeseburger I’ll be sorely disappointed and regret my decision. Is that accurate?

Someone somewhere said to me /jp/ and spin-offs are populated by assholes. How true would you say it is? Not talking about Kissu specifically and it's not my opinion either, but he insisted /jp/ and spin-offs are populated by assholes. I told him to fuck off but it got me thinking. Would you say /jp/ spin-offs have bad vibes or something? I personally don't believe this. To me, /jp/ spin-offs are the heart of imageboards. Yes even more than /a/ and /b/ spin-offs.

When are we going to invent some sort of Sci-Fi brain flushing that simulates 8-10 hours of sleep in a few minutes or something? Actual sleep is so gay and inefficient. I’d rather spend my time working on things I want to do than sleeping. And when I neglect sleep I get even more inefficient and my brain becomes more frustratingly haywire as it becomes impossible to focus or accomplish anything or hold onto any thoughts. I despise sleep and sleep deprivation. I want it gone.

Strawmen and steelmen are, in fact, accelerated topic progression techniques for casual discourse or questioning to sort the nuances and implications out ASAP.
Oversensitivity to strawmen came to be because people are too lazy to figure out whether they're just discussing something or they're having logical debates with lives at stake like it's an Ace Attorney court case.
When you're being strawmanned and you're not interested in dealing with that, just ignore or reply "no I didn't mean that."

The japanese comments unanimously celebrate this "return to form" by leaving sweet comments on how emotional / nostalgic the video made them feel and advertising it with points, showing that a more classic approach to making is still very much appreciated and in demand.

Some think there is no point to dreaming and their contents are meaningless
Others think dreaming exists to work through emotional problems by imagining yourself in different scenarios
I have also heard that dreams might simply exist as a form of escapism and entertainment for human beings
There is also of course the historic belief that dreams are premonitions of the future/warnings from the gods

Japanese Learning Thoughts
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.

What does "competency" for kbowledge-based fields look like in a post-AI world? Before search engines, competency meant being able to recall certain information or at least be able to search through relevant reference material and so forth to find whatever you're looking for. With search engines, that changed to finding relevant information from trusted websites, but relying on them heavily (e.g. copy-pasting solutions from Stack Overflow) was discouraged. Now with modern LLMs, you can mostly trust the information they provide to be mostly correct, but they can essentially do all the work with enough proding in the right direction. So, what does competency look like when an LLM can be trusted to get things ~80% the way done?

Was watching this and it reminded me that I've really loved in the past going outdoors and relaxing in nature when I've been stresssed.I haven't done it that much recently because it's about a 10 minute walk to the nearest park while it used to be right in my backyard when I was a kid, but I bet the feeling would probably be quite similar. I know that recently on my hike to Mt. Fuji, for the parts where I wasn't dead tired or short on breath because of the atmosphere, I really enjoyed just the scenery around me and just the epic scale of the mountain altogether. Maybe I should go and stroll through that park nearby while Autumn's still in full swing.
I know that we're on an imageboard for people that generally stay on the PC all day, but I think usually there's a shared sentiment on /qa/ so I wonder how many more of you like to simply enjoy and appreciate nature inside of it too?

HALLOWEEN is coming up THIS VERY MONTH, usually to commemorate the occasion I'd do a whole day stream of stuff on the day that people can appreciate the spook at any time, but this year I may switch things up a bit if people want to because a consecutive 24 eps can end up being a bit much. I'll be streaming the first 12 the Sunday before Halloween, probably starting at 6pm EST unless there's a better time that works for people and then ending with the latter half on Halloween at the same time I start Sunday.
So what's Shiki about? Shiki's a vampire story that I feel delves quite well into the moral quandries of empathy/sympathy, and does so in quite a brutal manner. It's been a bit over a decade or so since I watched it, so there's a good deal I can't remember in specific, but it's held a near high spot in my list for a reason, that I know. It's got plenty of extremely memorable scenes and characters that altogether make an experience you don't want to miss out on. Be there or be ghoul food!

Does it bother anyone else how normalized gambling has become in the last 10 years or so? I don't know that much about gacha games but they've become really common lately. But even outside of otaku interests gambling has become really normalized in my country since I was a child.
When I watch sportsball with my family members from time to time most of the commercials are for legal gambling apps for phones now. Casinos are being built everywhere around where I live. I have to wait forever in line behind people playing lottery scratch tickets are gas stations now. The state lottery is advertised constantly on the radio and the jackpots are outrageous these days (close to 1 billion dollars sometimes).
Even when I was a teenager gambling wasn't accepted like this and that wasn't that long ago. You had to travel to Las Vegas or one of the other sin cities to gamble in a casino. Even betting on horses and dogs required driving several hours. The only way to gamble locally was to play poker or buy numbers from the local mafia types.
What's really funny about it is they advertise the gambling apps on TV then half the commercial is some guy talking really fast like:
>Lose all your money and ruin your life using our application? Call the 1-800 gambling help line!
Another funny thing is where I live they justified bringing in the lottery by saying half of the money would go to the schools. But every year the teachers strike anyway saying their pay is too low and the schools are still broke. But the local police bought brand new cars and even got a tank.
It's a big scam. I don't like it.

snacks thread
I don't know if this really can develop into a full thread, but I wanted to share the secret to great stream popcorn that I found recently and didn't really think it fit any thread. I got pure coconut oil with beta carotine and some flavacol melted and mixed into a kettle/pan and I add some popcorn kernels then heat it up. Produces a shitload of movie theater quality or better popcorn for less than it'd cost you to get a microwave pack. Absolutely love it and recommend anyone who likes popcorn try it out too.

I was typing down some specific examples, but I really don't like how negative and condescending it all sounds when that legitimately isn't my intention, so I will try to keep this more general.
My current solution to this problem, and the namesake of the thread, is that I'm trying really hard to avoid Western discussion of content I enjoy, or at least discussion in languages that I can understand. I try to stick to Japanese videos (which I can't understand, for the most part) if I'm going through random Touhou content or arrangements on YT, or at least I will avoid scrolling down to the comments if an English title suggests the video is just a music upload and not a meme, which I go out of my way for to hide.
It's the same for most other IPs or hobbies and it can get pretty frustrating depending on the kind, especially if it's info that I know I would benefit from myself, but force myself to not consume because it feels less stressful to immediately hide it and not think about it any further.
Consuming content I don't understand, or where I can't understand the reaction to it, makes me feel unburdened. I have an easier time to just focus on the content itself, I don't have to worry about noticing agendas that may or may not be there even, or feeling annoyed by behavior I can't help but to read negative intentions into. I don't understand what is happening and even if I do for some phrases, I'm too unacquainted with the general discussion or different culture to think anything of it. Maybe this is comparable to when you first started out on the internet - you had no comparisons to make, so everything felt wondrous and exciting, or people felt knowledgeable and cool until you developed a feeling for attentionwhoring and similar things.
Can Kissu relate to or understand this feeling?
I'm aware this sounds very elitist and unsavory, but I do not at all enjoy feeling like this and only mention it for the sake of discussion and, ideally, advice, but not to put anyone down. In fact, I don't have as hard a time on Kissu, I assume because Anons feel more genuine in general.
For anything else, I wish I could let go off these negative feelings and just enjoy things for what they are, not rid myself of my own enjoyment.
Wonder through ignorance
I have this issue where I'm very easily annoyed by the vast majority of people that enjoy the same things I do, way more than so-called "normies" with completely different tastes, and it's been slowly eating me up from the inside for a long time now.I was typing down some specific examples, but I really don't like how negative and condescending it all sounds when that legitimately isn't my intention, so I will try to keep this more general.

How do you find new music/bands that you like?
I ask because, for the longest time, I tried doing it by genre. If I liked a band, I would look up what genre they were in, and then in turn try looking up other bands that were in the same genre. But it rarely worked, and it's because I've found that my tastes don't align cleanly to genre bounds. I like a bunch of different artists, but only about three or four per-genre.

I had some lifesaver gummies and bananas in my room. But there was a rat squeaking and knocking around loudly all night every night. So yesterday, I reached for gummies and noticed most of them were gone, and the other pack which I hadn't opened was ripped open and also mostly gone, and there was a missing banana. So I cleaned out my closet and noticed there was a stockpile of gummies in the corner and a hollowed out banana peel. That rat probably thought that by taking all night moving all those gummies, it was set for life. Honestly, if the rat was more quiet about it, I wouldn't have checked.

Isn't partaking in society technically addictive? You compare between your "consumption" rates and notice effects of withdrawal, first of all including anxiety and the belief you can't deal with life without dosing again. "Oh God, I just need to get my fix, then everything will be back to normal! Things will go bad if I'm not maintaining my hit bliss! How am I ever supposed to function otherwise!?" Oversocialization is rampant and is never a vice, only a virtue. Much like with drinking and smoking, you're seen as a weirdo if you appear to be doing close to nothing of the sort and/or are not interested to do it with the people passing the vapid judgement, as if addiction breeds entitlement. Druggies and alcoholics at least emerged with folk solutions of managing withdrawal. Socialization addicts' management is only ever never hopping off the needle or getting back onto the needle as soon as possible. But you know what's never seriously being thought like it is for "bad habits" and "bad substances"?

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:

But aside from that I'm not too familiar with how the rest of the overhaul mods work to say if they'd make the items and such from the Touhou mod completely obsolete. This is coming from the perspective of having played Calamity and that making things just completely absurd post-Moon Lord. Thorium and Redemption (https://thoriummod.wiki

And like many of the others, I haven't tried it out myself but read many praises of it from searching through discussion and such. I know for a fact that there's also a bunch of small miscellaneous mods that I'm missing from this list too that I'd add to an inevitable server so if people want to then you can go crazy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Do you have any experience gardening?
I decided that I'm going to attempt gardening this year. My dad grew up on a farm and we had crops in the backyard when I was a kid. I still have the old tilling machine that's in good shape and some other rusty tools, but I don't have a hammer to mine silver from nearby rocks so I won't be able to upgrade the stuff.
I think it's too late for my geographic location to start growing early Spring stuff from seeds, so I need to buy some that are already a few weeks old from a local nursery, or maybe online? This stuff sounds kind of fun as long as your expectations are reasonable.

Anyone else notice the animals acting strangely lately? Some observations from my local area;
1) The deer have lost all fear of humans and traffic. I got so close to a doe today that I could have petted it. The young buck that comes to my yard to eat corn every afternoon walks right up to the porch now. Deer are standing next to the highway staring at traffic. Saw one stand in the middle of the highway for over 5 minutes a few days ago. Line of cars stopped and honking and he couldn't have cared less.
2) The rabbits seem to have lost their fear of people too. I petted a wild hare about a week ago. They casually munch on clover even if you walk right next to them.
3) The squirrels no longer seem to be afraid of my cats.
4) The birds sing at night now but don't sing loudly in the mornings. I only have one singing at sun rise regularly now. In fact, I seem to have few birds coming around in general. Even the crows are no longer keeping to their usual schedule they've had for years.
5) Crickets and frogs aren't singing at night like they used to. I don't hear many of them and when I do they're isolated to only a couple of areas. Every year before this one the night was really really loud. Like almost impossible to sleep with the windows open. Now it's almost as quiet as the dead of winter when there is snow on the ground.
6) Various misc. strange encounters with other animals since spring. Found multiple deer that have just laid down to die somewhere. Walk up on them and they're covered in flies and look to be dead. But when you get close they're just zonked out and struggling to breath. Had to put a couple down already. Can walk right up to them and they don't care at all.
Something is up and I don't know what it could be.

What kinds of tea does /qa/ like or enjoy? Usually I have black milk tea with honey in the mornings, but recently I've been somewhat trying out different blends and leaves, trying to delve deeper into the world of tea since it's one of the few things that can calm and relax me. Right now I'm enjoying some delicious lavender tea sweetened with lavender honey. It's very smooth down the throat and is working wonders at unraveling the tenseness in my nerves from the cold I'm starting to suffer. Didn't even need to add any milk too for the smoothness of the sip. I find it lovely.
What I'm really interested in at the moment is going deeper into green teas since I've always seen so much on brewing it and whatnot but I don't know what's really reliable info for it.

Doom: Touhou Edition
Hello, this Friday the 20th I plan on hosting Doom over the sourceport Zandronum, starting at around 7-8 PM EST. There are a few Touhou skins to choose from, and I will be hosting a mapset designed for high player counts as well as a gameplay mod to change the weapons and enemies. There will be limited lives but we'll have a way to unlock extra lives for dead players so it won't be too intense. If for whatever reason the mods break we can always switch them out. I will post download links soon as I haven't gathered them up yet, along with the setup instructions.

I can't help but think that it feels like dying. I've never been able to trust anyone so that kind of surrender feels tantamount to death, but I also understand how blissful it is. It also makes me think about how temporary life is, so whenever I see the start of love, I can't help but see its final end. The comparison with death was driven home really hard when I read the Lilly route in KS. Of course, it only feels like death when I'm thinking about it, not when I'm feeling it in the moment.
There's a lot more I could say and a lot more I won't. picrel is the loveliest picture I could find: peaceful, sweet, eternal, transient, immediately youthful, and of a girl I adore.
What does love feel like to you?

I do often wonder sometimes how much of the "tfw no gf" stuff is performative and how much is me just differing from the norm. I can understand loneliness from a having nobody to communicate with perspective, and I can understand lust from a wanting to jerk off perspective, but something I think I've never come to understand has been the romantic need perspective. I've considered the prospect of having a partner before and determined it's too much devoting myself to another person for me to want to engage in that aspect of life, and even then for the most part I have hard times envisioning myself with anyone in real life and most of my fantasies have involved some sort of conquest partnership with my waifu. Likewise I'm able to appreciate and enjoy romance anime for what they are and passionately root for and feel happiness about the cute couples in them without feeling any envy or bitterness myself, while I see others all the time talking about how watching those anime opens up a hole of despair in their hearts. All I want out of life is to be able to enjoy myself and appreciate the art and media other people create, with my only real desire being to create some game or story of my own one day.
When I think about this topic, it always reminds me of prior conversations we'd have in the past about failed norms vs true sages. But then there's been plenty of stuff I've seen strewn about the internet about "epidemics" of people without love and how it's a big social issue or whatnot. It's just that not feeling those supposed pangs of desire myself makes it hard to believe this stuff actually exists, or if it does is that big of an issue to people.

I love artists that display mastery of techniques and diction. It's not limited to rap, any artistic display of ultimate authority over one's diction I find mesmerizing. Couple that with vivid story telling, and I'll listen to the same tracks on loop for months on end.

Starting with someone most people into rap would know of; MF DOOM.
At first I didn't get the hype around DOOM. His tracks lacked all the characteristics of a mainstream song. No catchy rhythm, no hooks or choruses, just straight talking for half a minute or two. I didn't get what was so good about him.
Heard about his

As I went on listening, the vibe of the album grew on me. The instrumentals by Madlib played a major role towards me liking the album. Then, once I started paying attention to the lyrics, it was like a new door of endless possibilities was opened for me. I liked his vocals, his voice, and the way he rhymed and was just having fun with rhyming in general. Just pure rhymes, no funky rhythm, no catchy hook, just raw rhymes. With all the references and slangs, I had no idea what the fuck he was saying. It really felt like he was rhyming (not rapping), not for someone to listen to, but just because he had rhymes in him that he wanted to let out.
The whole album is full of great rhymes, but the one that comes to mind right now is from https://youtu.be/x8Ru8d0l_fU :
>Hackthoo'ing songs lit, in the booth, with the best host
>Doing bong hits, on the roof, in the west coast
Love the fact that he uses "Hackthoo" instead of "spit" here.
Plenty of other instances where he rhymes whole lines with each other. The rhyme scheme at the start of the track is also otherworldly:
>Tripping off the beat kinda
>Dripping off the meat grinder,
>heat niner, pimping stripping soft sweet minor
>China was a neat signer,
Another rhyme scheme off the same track:
>The worst hated god who perpetrated off favors
>Demonstrated in the perforated Rod Lavers,
>... In all quad flavors,
>Lord save us
And the final rhyme scheme he ends in:
>The van screeches,
>the old man preaches,
> About the gold sand beaches,
>the cold hand reaches
>for the old tan Ellesses
>...
>... Jesus
I could go on for days talking about all the rhyme schemes I like from DOOM.

Artistic Rap
Does /qa/ listen to rap?I love artists that display mastery of techniques and diction. It's not limited to rap, any artistic display of ultimate authority over one's diction I find mesmerizing. Couple that with vivid story telling, and I'll listen to the same tracks on loop for months on end.
I'll be using this thread to introduce a couple artists I've been absolutely loving these past days. Also would like to see what /qa/ listens to.
Starting with someone most people into rap would know of; MF DOOM.
At first I didn't get the hype around DOOM. His tracks lacked all the characteristics of a mainstream song. No catchy rhythm, no hooks or choruses, just straight talking for half a minute or two. I didn't get what was so good about him.
Heard about his

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.

Do they live in la-la land? Do they really need to get severely ill, beaten up, crippled, traumatized so they would notice their own precious limits and mortality? How am I supposed to take specialists and geniuses seriously when they don't take themselves seriously and get run over by cars, get too drunk for their life to handle, die from stress — things that happen because of zero vested interest in awareness and self-preservation?

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!

If not, I highly recommend you explore your local area! I especially recommend checking out non-chain thrift stores; they often have things you won't find elsewhere because they're not as picked over. If you need to get out of the house, it can also be fun to hit up chain thrift stores -- if you go regularly, you'll eventually come across something unique or rare that catches your interest.
Comic book stores, used bookstores, and foreign retailers are also great places to visit!

i'm thinking about getting one, but since it will be exclusively used for watching anime, i have two main concerns:
1. is it even worth it? the main advantage of oleds are absolute blacks thanks to there being no backlight, but is that something that will be actually noticeable for the average TV anime?
2. instant pixel response time
oleds have instant pixel response time, meaning that low framerate content like anime looks especially bad, as the low response of LCDs isn't there to "smear" things over and everything appears super choppy
motion interpolation is touted as an answer to that, but i absolutely hate the soap opera effect it causes

I think it's an interesting question because Japanese, and Chinese especially, are ideographic not phonological. In Chinese's case, the issue is so severe they had to adopt the Latin alphabet as an alternative spelling method to convey pronunciation (Pinyin). Japanese at least has Hiragana and Katakana which can be used to show how Kanji are pronounced in the form of furigana, but it doesn't solve the issue of rote memorization being a necessity. Korean has eliminated the issue altogether by adopting a new writing system, Hangul, which is purely phonological, much in the same way the Latin alphabet is, but closer to the syllabary of Hiragana/Katakana in that it is more syllabic.
It's not unthinkable to imagine that Chinese and Japanese as they currently exist in their written form and be entirely reformed into an alphabetical, phonological writing system.
On the other hand, there's the case of the simple Phillip's head screw. Much derided for constantly stripping, but nonetheless ubiquitous with no clear sign of any impending replacement or competitors in equivalent usage.
So, this begs the question: which would last longer?
Can /qa/ think of any other examples? I think another interesting example might be the x86 instruction set vs. IPv4.

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.

Left 4 Dead 2: Road to Gensokyo Edition
This Friday, May 2nd, I plan on hosting Left 4 Dead 2 for kissu, at around 7 PM EST, give or take 30 minutes. On my server there is a special plugin that lets you choose your own player model, similiar to other games such as Sven, and there are many different Touhou models to choose from. The player limit is at the maximum of 31. The server is also on an older version of L4D2, and it will be (almost) required that you use the special client that I provide (unless you absolutely know what you are doing). The client will use a revemu crack so that you don't need to own the game or have Steam or anything to play, so it is completely standalone. The links for the game download and any optional mods will be posted later as I have yet to prepare a fresh download link. I have not decided on any campaigns to do, but I may just host all the vanilla campaigns in a marathon.This has been hosted on 4/jp/ before as well, and I may advertise it there one last time to catch any stragglers before future hosts are permanently moved.

Assuming one would be willing to go as far as to make a whole videogame or some other multimedia project for it to include all kinds of visions one has for the exposition and the like, there has to be some starting point that you can put effort into the project in such a way where you'd be okay whether it'll end up as a successful blooming dark horse or some poor peculiarity that fades into obscurity as soon as it had appeared.
What would it be for a team of a single man?
Web novels, light novels, manga allow for plays of words and illustrations, but animation and sound are off limits.
Anime, VNs, and full-fledged complex games involve lots of commitment both from the creator and the connoisseur; it's generally more concentrated on binary fate of hit-or-miss and needs either crowdfunding or marketing probing to get certainty that the effortful passions and ideas will reach the people on launch.
Is the answer - a series of simpler web browser games?
A twitter account where you gradually give more and more exposition, including up to as much point as animations with sound?
A combination of the two?
I'd love to see anon's brainstorming on the matter.
Just don't suggest tiktok or youtube shorts formats; I'd genuinely rather cosplay and give pamphlet and booklet forms of works to strangers on the street instead.

Anime, VNs, and full-fledged complex games involve lots of commitment both from the creator and the connoisseur; it's generally more concentrated on binary fate of hit-or-miss and needs either crowdfunding or marketing probing to get certainty that the effortful passions and ideas will reach the people on launch.
Is the answer - a series of simpler web browser games?
A twitter account where you gradually give more and more exposition, including up to as much point as animations with sound?
A combination of the two?
I'd love to see anon's brainstorming on the matter.
Just don't suggest tiktok or youtube shorts formats; I'd genuinely rather cosplay and give pamphlet and booklet forms of works to strangers on the street instead.

How's public transport around your area? We've talked about it before several times but it was more about theory/principles rather than the tangible state of affairs.
Recently a globetrotter train ota came by and his blogging did some bazuru locally, which I found fairly fun to read. His sasuga over old Toshiba-kun still working, saying a stop is otogibanashi no you na, his empanada food blog, and the comparisons he makes to other countries or the stuff he points out, very neat. You can read it here:

There's a noticeable difference between the 80s Japanese cars and the modern Chinese ones, not just that each has its own runic inscriptions but that there's a tech difference of thirty years, like the fancy rail line map with lights, or Nagoya 5000's having a degree of asbestos. There's a ton of different batches operated concurrently, it's all over the place and a major pain in the ass financially and technically:
https://en.wikipedia.o
A subway line I usually take runs Mitsubishi Eidan alongside Spanish CAF 6000, and the most prominent difference for me is that the latter's seating consists groups of four inward plastic seats while the former has the usual long line of a single padded seat running across the side of the car that I find far more comfortable. Spanish ones also have funny doors that you have to open manually and individually by pulling a mini lever rather than all opening when stopping. It seems to be suited to something for fewer people to take compared to the typical crowded image of Japanese transport.
Stations likewise come in all shapes and sizes, like pic which is the one Taisetsu-san really liked from La Plata. Subway lines can have large tunnel walkways connecting each other and mini-malls, or even a genuinely connecting to an actual mall, and a lot of murals and paintings, very cool stuff. Though the smell can be horrible.

I tried to cover the issues I've seen people be most interested in across the various 4chan down threads. Activity, especially in regards to specific hobbies, is probably the biggest, but a familiar UI, easy browsing of different boards/sites, and file support have all come up. I focused mostly on relevant topics to the /a/jp/ sphere here since that's what I'm more familiar with, but I'm open to suggestions on what to put in here. I think zzz, 8, 7, and sushi could fit on here too for vidya and broader topic selections. Please correct me if anything is wrong, a fair bit has to be derived from cursory inspection.
Regarding activity levels, I'm imagining 4chan as the 10/10 max level for everything so it's kind of a log scale so everything else isn't all a 1 in comparison. Basically, green means there's fresh discussion of a topic multiple times a day, yellow means once every day or three something gets kicked up about it, and red means it still lacks the critical mass to maintain regular discussion.
Altchan Infographic
A few months ago I was talking about altchans on /a/ and realized a big stumbling block for people is that the lists of sites that get posted around contain too many sites with not enough details and people tend to give up after the fifth or sixth utterly dead/meme shitposting site they click through. I'm hitting myself for being lazy and not making a better guide before this, but with 4chan still down I imagine it would still be good to have something easy to pass around to help the flood of refugees as we approach the weekend.I tried to cover the issues I've seen people be most interested in across the various 4chan down threads.

Touhou music ranking
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!Link if you wanna make your own: https://tiermaker.com/create/touhou-games--16215478

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.

He has also written about narrative consumption in todays age. what is narrative consumption?
Narrative consumption involves the relationship between "grand narratives" or "worldviews" and "small narratives" or "variations". The concept of worldview or world (sekai), which comes from anime production and kabuki tradition, refers to the entire world or setting of a work of fiction. Each individual story told within that universe (such as an episode or even a season of television) is a small narrative, or a variation of the worldview.

How is your sleep routine? I'm thinking I need to improve mine. Strangely I've found that having my little tablet thing playing a youtube speedrun history video helps me get sleepy faster. My theory is that it interrupts my thinking and allows my brain to turn off faster. It doesn't increase the amount of sleep I get, but at least it starts earlier so there's less wasted time doing nothing in bed.

Does /qa/ have any experience with ebook readers? I've been getting back into reading recently, and although I like the ebook reader app I have on my Android phone (ReadEra), it's not entirely pleasant; my phone is a bit weighty so it's tiring to hold, and it strains my eyes after reading for a while.
The most obvious choice seems to be a Kindle, but it seems kind of opaque what the differences are between models other than storage. I'm really not a fan of them seemingly being permanently tethered to the cloud and this "ad-supported" thing seems annoying as well. Ideally, I would have something that I can move my own ebooks onto just by plugging it into my PC. USB C is a hard requirement as well; I can't believe Amazon was selling Kindles with the worst charging connector of all time, micro USB, up until 2021.
Looking at the prices for the features that matter to me... I'm really wondering if it would be worth it buying one at all. From what I understand, I would probably be looking at buying some Android e-ink tablet, but those don't seem to have the best reputation online (?) and I can't imagine any are particularly lightweight. My phone is ~200g and that feels a bit too heavy for me. Anything tablet sized I'm sure would be too heavy for me.

With how crucial it is for us to remember names, one has to wonder, “Why the HELL is it so hard to remember them?”. I ask myself this all the flippin time. In the span of the same day I meet someone I can forget their name multiple times. In seasonals I often forget what characters are called and refer to them by ‘MC’ or their color. Which when you think about it, it’s weird. You can remember so much about a character or person that you can spit out all sorts of identifying traits, yet the one thing that classifies who they are gets forgotten. And then there’s names I can’t forget, like many 2hus, the EVA characters, DB characters, immediate family, etc. How come those ones stick around even when you don’t use them for ages but one you just heard can be forgotten minutes later?
It makes me feel like there has to be some trick behind it. Some special method people use to remember names since some people out there can remember every person they meet. Tell me your secrets, norms. I want to know how you’re all doing it while making me look like captain retardo. I want to be able to talk about an anime I just watched without having to go to the MAL page to get their names.
Names
Names are a funny thing. They’re just words, sometimes with no meaning behind them, yet convey so much importance in how we refer to ourselves and others. In fact remembering them is oftentimes seen as common decency. Or in the case of referencing media, crucial towards singling out characters.With how crucial it is for us to remember names, one has to wonder, “Why the HELL is it so hard to remember them?”.

So with that in mind I'm going to be streaming the first 10 episodes of KareKano April 6th, or next Sunday, at 7:00PM EST. Only the first 10 because I feel like that's the most crucial portion of the story that sets into motion everything else. The setup, main cast, and character relations for the most part are established after that and it's more digging deeper into them that we can stream maybe some other time if people want me to. Be sure you're there for it!

streaming karekano april 6th
A clip got recommended to me on youtube and reminded me that I absolutely love this anime. In terms of the typical shoujo today despite its influence I'd say it still stands out, and Anno's influence on the presentation through his direction (before the budget kinda goes kaput like EVA near the end) is strikingly impactful in conveying the mood of each scene and allowing the highs to reach further than manga ever could. Miyazawa's probably still my favorite Shoujo protagonist of any romance series, her smarts and unbreakable character make her extremely endearing to watch as situations arise throughout her and Arima's school life as a result of their relationship. It's a great exploration of two quite different characters who take interest with and build each other up as they go about life and maturing.So with that in mind I'm going to be streaming the first 10 episodes of KareKano April 6th, or next Sunday, at 7:00PM EST.

The format for deciding on picks this year will be the same as the last with the addition of maybe singling out a specific anime of each year to be the most /qa/ anime of the year. For the current candidates that should be easy since there's only 4 of them, but for this year we'll have to conclude all the seasonal polls first and then afterwards decide.
The polls will be made separately and then linked in the thread with at least 3 days allotted for people to decide on winners, and I'll make a new poll for each season every day, starting with Winter 2021 today. To not make cheating so easy I'll make it so an IP needs at least 3 posts to vote, which shouldn't really be hard for anyone I hope.

I’d never had a prostate exam before. I thought they just did that for old guys and I’m only 28. And the only thing that ever went up my butt was a thermometer when I was a baby.
I was pretty nervous when the doc told me to bend over the table. I was already naked from the rest of the exam, including the “turn your head and cough” part. I always worry I’ll get hard when he does that, and this time I could feel myself starting to a little.
He got a bunch of Vaseline on his finger and started rubbing it on my hole and I was shocked to find out how good it felt, even though it was cold. I had never played with myself there before, but this sure felt good.
Then I could feel him starting to push his finger in and I thought, “I wonder what this is going to feel like. I know some people like it. I wonder if I will. It sure feels weird.”
Well, he couldn’t seem to get his finger to go in. He kept rubbing it around and then pushing, which felt really good, but it was like my butt was saying, “No visitors!”
He told me to relax, which was kind of difficult because of all the sensations I was feeling. I think I was even getting hard! And that would be really embarrassing!
I tried to relax and suddenly it was like my butt suddenly surrendered and let him in. Oh! My! God! I’d never felt anything like it. I couldn’t help but groan. Maybe it was more of a moan, like a moan of absolute pleasure. I was immediately embarrassed. Did that sound like an orgasm? Does he think I’m gay and love anal sex? I’d never even considered such a thing!
As he felt around inside me he immediately found my prostate and I immediately felt myself get fully hard. It was amazing. I was very confused, too. Should a straight guy like this so much? It feels so weird. Do I want him to stop immediately? Or do I want him to keep going and see what happens?
After a short time rubbing around my prostate, he pulled his finger out. I immediately knew this was something I wanted to experience again. But I was also terrified to get up because I was really hard and I was afraid of what he would think if he saw it.
Well, he told me to get up and I did, swallowing my fear. Sure enough, I had a strong erection. When I got up, he saw it and totally ignored it. I was still embarrassed, but a little less so because he didn’t say anything.
After that, I’ve been obsessed with that feeling. I play with myself there almost every day. I bought a dildo yesterday but haven’t worked up the nerve to use it yet. Maybe tonight.
The other weird thing is that although I think I’m pretty much straight, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it would be like to hook up with a guy to have him fuck me. I really think I would like it. Then I don’t know if I’m straight or bi or what. I just know that there is a lot of pleasure available in my butt and I have a doctor to thank for teaching me.
Anybody else have these feelings?

When did lurking start being seen as something good?
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.

Words of "native" or "germanic" origin in Modern English that start with a "g" all use the hard-g sound as in "gift". While "foreign" words of "latin" origin use the soft-g as in "giraffe".

From an evolutionary perspective, why are we all not premature ejaculators? Think about it, the faster you let out your seed the less time you spend in a vulnerable state, the less energy you waste on flailing about, and the less opportunity the female has to push you off. It's objectively better to be able to spurt as soon as you stick it in, so why haven't we dominated the genepool yet? Even if it's not a problem for modern civilization, surely wasteful mating should have died out when predation and food shortages were real threats. Lots of animals seem to be able to sperm at will too, so why has humanity mostly lost this useful ability?

While rewatching Cutie Honey in Giko yesterday, it made me reflect on a certain sentiment that you always seem to hear, how "ADHD" content is nowadays. Which I've always assume means filled with constant stimulation and energy. But when you take a look at the media/anime being put out now, and even really with all the supposed 'kohai' tiktok stuff that's just someone talking plastered with games, a background essay meant to be ignored. There's not any energy in those at all. It's a farce with pretty colors.
Even on a broader level there's really nothing energizing about anything in media, not only supposed 'brainrot' garbage. It's all extremely tame and boring compared to any anime that put even a teensy amount of heart into making something bombastic. The realization sorta hit me while watching Onimai back when it came out, but really came into its own watching the two back to back last night. Onimai is good, don't get me wrong, but the energy it presents is several levels below that of something like Galaxy Angel or even Milky Holmes. Although I guess with that they're different genres in a way since SoL is generally more relaxed, but there's just no modern replacement for anything of that style nowadays and it's annoying the supposed replacement is magnitudes less exciting than its predecessor. This goes doubly so for any isekai which feel similar to the aforementioned 'brainrot' content in that a vast majority is meant to glaze by your eyes and pass the time rather than hook you into its fantasy world.
I just want to feel hyper and attracted to the screen like a magnet, I don't want to be bored. And today's media just seems to command my non-attention.

Pixiv vs Twitter
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?

Just found out about the 2015 janny chat log IRC leaks.
Have you guys already discussed this? Just Google "4chan janitor IRC logs" and look through them. Basically, a janitor went rogue around 2015 and leaked years' worth of IRC logs. They are absolutely hilarious, especially the absolute meltdowns moot and the /jp/ janitors had because of the the various shitposting factions that waged war with them around 2011-2015.
There's a janitor who confesses to taking meth to stay up all night so he can delete more posts (WhatWinterLeft / Saegrimr / Cat looks like janny), a janitor who confesses to molesting his nephew (Kazisho), and more. Also, AoC (previously known as "meido") talks about how he shat himself multiple times in school and received the school nickname of "dooky"
Also, BOOF was /k/'s janitor
VCR_Working and fsdfdsf were also obsessed with /jp/
Janitors from other boards constantly mocked the /jp/ janitors for managing the worst board, and moot publicly humiliated and ultimately expelled some of the /jp/ janitors from that channel

Do you constantly work on your passions in some way? I think that working towards a goal always is a good mindset even when you're busy with other stuff in life, since it'll always help you come closer to achieving something similar to a "life-goal". My life's goal is making the perfect metroidvania game, but that's put on the backburner for me while I learn JP to go to Japan and also play every metroidvania to analyze why I love them so much and hopefully encapsulate that into a vision.
Though at some point I definitely need to learn some programming to get it done, and I need something that motivates me to learn a programming language over anything else... I think my problem right now is that I have no clear goals whenever I start up programming that I can work towards and so I get lost and drift towards things I know I can make progress in, like JP and analysis.

The banner itself claims that this was done on the grounds of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1466A and 1467; per the banner itself, "It is unlawful to produce, distribute, receive, or possess an obscene visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture, or painting, that depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Individuals who do so can face significant criminal and civil penalties, including imprisonment, fines, and forfeiture of property."
But... The banner also shows the seal of the Intellectual Property Rights Center, which is suggestive of this being brought by foreign rights holders claiming copyright infringement, but then pururin being seized and prosecuted under obscenity law. Sites being seized for obscenity are typically done by the FBI, whose seal is conspicuously missing in this case.

Has the internet been a net benefit for society? Going by the access it gives us to all information, it could seem so on a technical level. However, with so much information out there it's impossible for a normal human to sort through, and as such many rely on small feeds to get their information that motivates them most emotionally. This stewing of outrage culture seems like it's lead to perpetuating and even stoking more violence and hatred.
On the other hand, the vast sea of information has also given opportunity for those in research to collaborate and build off each others work at lightning speed, and even help to raise new generations on material that teaches them well. Not to mention the entirety of github. In my own personal experience I feel as though I've learned to connect better with others through my use of the internet.

Is pleasure real or is it merely imaginary? We've often heard of material pleasures, bodily pleasures, etc., but as far as we are capable of knowing, it might not necessarily be anything but a mental phenomenon.
What if pleasure is just a meme? What if enjoyment does not exist? What if it's all mere poetic fancy, constituting nothing but decoration in art, pure artifice born from the inside of creative organ?
But if people do strongly enough believe in it and bring out works of art that represent this ideal very much in accordance to what they believe it is meant to be, then can it be said to come into being, or does it remain trapped on a canvas or on a piece of paper? If Man attributes the qualities of beauty, grace, harmony, balance to real objects that were created by nature, do those qualities indeed objectively typify them, or are they only assignations describing a subjective judgement, a mere product of circumstantial associations?
The World might not be objectively beautiful, but it is not objectively ugly.

Since time immemorial, two questions have remained present in the minds of all those dwelling /qa/: what do we call ourselves, and how do you pronounce the board's name? It has long been a matter of ⟨/qa/⟩'s phonemic composition, whose myriad expressions appear to contradict each other at every turn. Herein you shall find an authoritative examination of its manifestations and the underlying logic, motivated by the recent anniversary, and based on General American English and General British. (I am sadly forced to neglect Australian pronunciation for the sake of my sanity and time, nothing personal mate.) It's very long, but its length is necessitated by these phenomena's complexity.
The two books I've consulted the most are Gimson's Pronunciation of English (actually by Cruttenden), and Kreidler's The Pronunciation of English, while getting transcriptions from The Oxford Dictionary of Pronunciation for Current English with some usage of Cambridge here and there.
I'll first go over general English grammar and fundamentals, then compounds, and then free-standing ⟨/qa/⟩. Some of these are heavily subject to board changes, take ⟨/qa/bal⟩: of its 39 total hits, 35 are from 2017-2018. Likewise, 65% of ⟨/qa/non⟩'s 449 instances come from 2020-2021. Patently tied to historical contingency. Also, some words included are less than nice, but they're important to the overall analysis.
No.XXXXX = a 4/qa/ post and its number.
⟨xxx⟩ = a word as it is written, not pronounced. After words with ⟨/qa/⟩, the added parenthesis (XX) represents how many times it appears on desuarchive, totalling the root alongside plurals and such.*
/xxx/ = broad transcription, the word as made up of logical units, phonemes.
[xxx] = narrow transcription, specific sounds independent of the logic behind them.
E.g., English ⟨cat⟩ is broad /kæt/, but narrow [kʰæt], with the extra puff of air that English speakers add at the start, but which is generally not treated as relevant.
In terms of the broad transcription itself:
/V/ = any kind of vowel.
/Vː/ = a long vowel.
/(*)/ = a, let's call it, "optional" phoneme. It may or may not be there. I also use it for some written words like ⟨/qa/bal(l)ah⟩.
/'/ = the following syllable is stressed. The difference between CONstruct /ˈkɒn.strʌkt/, and conSTRUCT /kənˈstrʌkt/. Extremely important stuff.
/j/ = the sound that would typically be written as ⟨y⟩ in English, instead the IPA follows the convention of continental Germanic languages like German's Jagd, Jahr, ja.
*= E.g. ⟨/qa/y⟩ appears 26 times, and ⟨/qa/ys⟩ once more, so it's ⟨/qa/y⟩ (27). Also, there are several cases where the number listed is less than the amount of desu hits, due to matches that weren't actually referring to the board's name. The greatest offender in this regard is ⟨ka⟩.

I don't really plan on living in the EU, and my lawyer mentioned it would cost around $1,000 just to initiate the process. He would need to research the documents and find definitive proof of my ancestry, but even then, my request could be rejected due to the records being too old or complications like my great-grandparents having given up their citizenship when they left their home countries for other reasons

Have you seen the storytime generals on 4/a/? I ended up checking out the ShimSim one after the manga ended and it looks like a qualitatively new thing. A new historical epoch.
They're basically a chain of chapter dumps, sustained by a dedicated OP and a group of people interested in reading whatever manga manages to get traction, a notoriously rare thing to happen. At the end, the OP may announce what they're going to dump next, and the community will move on to that as well. They differ from regular ol' dumps in that they carry around in-jokes and all that as well as getting perpetually bumped and remade like a standard general. Right now there's even some friction between /tkmiz/ and the storytime's community, mainly over the former's liberal use of spoilers.
It's like, rather than a segregated topic growing a micro-community, it's a micro-community hopping from topic to topic. Turned the whole thing on its head.

It's been a while since I've actively used this site.
Something that struck me on my return was just how much more imageboard-y it had become in my absence. Posts like >>133721 contain a kind of real-lifey cynicism that I generally didn't see that much before. There's also more social media speak, although I can't find any specific examples off the top of my head. I remember someone saying "bend the knee" though. It's not a huge difference, mind you, but it's definitely there, and I don't like it.
I've also noticed that there's a lot more generals, which I'm not a fan of. A large part of what I liked about Kissu was the site's hostility to them, where you were encouraged to either make new threads for new topics. Again, not a huge increase, but it's something that stood out to me just casually browsing
I'm probably not going to stick around. Partially because of the cultural shift, but also I'm just not interested in topicless imageboards as a whole anymore, and Kissu has been very much that since pretty early in its existence.

A large part of what I liked about Kissu was the site's hostility to them, where you were encouraged to either make new threads for new topics. Again, not a huge increase, but it's something that stood out to me just casually browsing
I'm probably not going to stick around. Partially because of the cultural shift, but also I'm just not interested in topicless imageboards as a whole anymore, and Kissu has been very much that since pretty early in its existence.

We'll be using a new locally hosted video stream system, so if you want you can open up the stream in VLC directly by using the files in https://rtmp.kissu.moe/streams/verniy.json when it's ready
It's a 1080p stream so I might switch to individual 720P files(the traditional method) if it doesn't work out.
The anime? It's by the author who did Oyasumi PunPun. It's better if you know less about it, but the animation and music are great.

I am considering going on a carnivore diet. Nothing fancy, prolly just ground beef, eggs, and dairy products every day. I've tried more "balanced" diets before and I never felt any better. Lately I've been very depressed and started putting on weight, so I'm interested in seeing what life will be like cutting out carbs almost completely. I understand there are some risks because there hasn't been much research on these types of diets, but I don't really care about anything right now.

I'm a latin american BR working remotely "with" U.S. companies, not "at" them. Essentially, I'm a middle manager between Latin American contractors and U.S. clients. I make $50k a year in what's basically a NEET job, just doing 1:1s with developers, clients, and handling invoicing. I barely work 2 hours a day.
You’d think I have it pretty good, being from a third world country and barely working, but then I look at the FAANG managers and directors I deal with and they're making anywhere from $250k to $500k a year. With that kind of salary, I could retire in a year in my country.
How do they even get into these positions?
When I check their LinkedIn profiles, most of them started as directors or program managers right off the bat... Meanwhile, I had to start as an intern. Honestly, I feel like where I’m at now is as good as it gets if I want to keep this a NEET job. But if you think differently, enlighten me

We are working towards this year's Christmas present for anon: A "restored" version of Onimai that will have many improvement's over last years' release. A revised English translation, corrected color, many scenes that were "censored" on the BD restored to the TV version and many other things. One thing I _really_ want to include is a restored panty shot from episode 2. But so far I haven't been able to get anyone willing to edit/redraw these 30 or so frames. I am dumping these frames again with corrected colors/chroma today in the hopes that someone will rise to the challenge.
This archive has all the frames (and a few on either side) of the censored pantsu shot. It's the typical modern day "black void" pantsu shot being used in most modern anime. We would like to restore it to what it was intended to be. If you're willing please let us know. You have a chance here to insert your own little easter egg (perhaps a cute picture of a rabbit?) on the pantsu.
Link to archive: https://files.catbox.m
They are in uncompressed .bmp RGB32 format. I ask that you please do not change the color space and return them in the same image format if possible. If these are not workable for you let me know and I will try to dump them in whatever image format you prefer. Whatever you send back is going to have to be re-inserted into the episode itself and converted back to YV12 color space. I've attempted to properly convert them to RGB32 for you. If I fucked up do let me know. They are 123MB in .7z compressed archive and will uncompress to about 500MB. Please be mindful not to rename any of the files. As the number is linked to frame numbers on my end!
There are only about 20-30 frames total that need to be edited. The rest are duplicates or appear before or after the pantsu would.
Thanks for your attention!

People have complained in the past about a catalog-centric way of viewing boards on /qa/, but is it really that bad of a thing for some people to have it as their default view? As a primary benefit, I'd say that browsing from the catalog tends to increase the use of threads past the first page and keeps new eyes on threads. I think that this really helps to promote more long lasting discussion than pure index viewing does.

"They" don't want you to divide vectors by vectors, but it's one of the easiest to understand operations you can define. We'd like a scalar q that makes qB = A, but that's not always possible, so pick the value of q that gets as close as possible, minimizing the size of the remainder R = A - qB. This happens when qB is the component of A parallel to B, and R is the component of A perpendicular to B. We'll call q the scalar quotient and write it as A/B.

From pointy sticks to plasma cannons, what are you favorite weapons in real life or fantasy? Weapons are more than just implements of destruction, they represent the culture and time period around them, and many cultures find certain types to be sacred or at least ceremonial. In fantasy they can similarly be an important part of worldbuilding, or more importantly just be really cool. Even wizards often need a good item in their hand to cast their magic.Cuteness is not considered a weapon in regards to this thread!

Zippyshare will shut down by the end of this month.
I think the impact is limited since it's meant as temporary file hosting, but a small number of files have survived for much longer due to continued downloads.
If you know some old files you want on Zippyshare like those on some DDL sites, download them now.
On the other hand, if Mediafire was to go down, the impact would be much larger since lots of files on it are now over a decade old. The same can be said for Mega due to the huge amount of files shared on it.

It started with HARMONY (Robot Unicorn Attack), then Fukkireta, then PONPONPON, etc. For /a/ and /jp/ I guess there's JIBUN WO, Hare Hare Yukai, the many catchy classic Touhou/Vocaloid songs, the /jp/ theme song, gachimuchi (gachimuchi also got popular on /v/, it's how it got transferred to the normsphere on twitch many years later), ME!ME!ME!, various Japanese MADs, etc.
I guess the modern incarnation of that would be those viral TikTok songs, but it just feels 'soulless' in comparison for a lack of a better word.

I don't like the idea of there being more story to Mushoko Tensei after this episode. The ending isn't anything grand but the general message about growing up would be far more potent if it ends here. I don't see how all the other plot lines resolving matter to the main story. Resolving them would just distract from the core message around "growing up". Rudy seems to have finally "grown up" and accepted that he is no longer some isekai main character power tripping in another world, but he is a human, living in an actual world, and his actions have consequences; that he is now willing to take responsibility for. Unless it turns out Rudy's kid is also some isekai'd manchild that then begins to but heads with Rudy, I don't think there is much more to say about a manchild growing up and living a responsible life.

Or how we're only 3 years away from the point when NGE will have aired as close to the very first mecha anime as to the present.

So, what do you /qa/eers think of AI currently? Do you like it, dislike it, find it useful in any meaningful way at all? Or are you simply not interested in the output of algorithms?
I myself find AI to be a useful tool in generating the kind of content I've either exhausted the available stock of or are gated off by some hurdle I need to spend more time overcoming. When it comes to text/story generation, it's like a CYOA playground where I play the role of DM and set up all the lore/situations/characters, and then the AI acts out events as I lay out the flow of the story.

/qa/'s thoughts on AI
There's two threads on /qa/ for different AI generation content and help. A thread on the morality and ethics of AI. One about the future potential AI holds. One on >>>/megu/ for more in-depth help with specifics. Then scattered about across all the boards some threads using AI generation for image openers and such. However, none of these actually encompass kissu's opinion on AI!So, what do you /qa/eers think of AI currently? Do you like it, dislike it, find it useful in any meaningful way at all? Or are you simply not interested in the output of algorithms?
I myself find AI to be a useful tool in generating the kind of content I've either exhausted the available stock of or are gated off by some hurdle I need to spend more time overcoming. When it comes to text/story generation, it's like a CYOA playground where I play the role of DM and set up all the lore/situations/characters, and then the AI acts out events as I lay out the flow of the story.

you will be the directors of the feared imouto rescue squad. A highschool club of imoutos that use fearsome weapons and tactics to rescue kidnapped onii-chans, wherever they are in the world...
the rules I will be using are Osprey - Black Ops.
It's the most fun rules that allows for stealth, and action gameplay and feels to me like the best simulation of small unit tactics that you can easily DM for
I've uploaded the rules for your enjoyment, but I will be adjusting the rules a bit to make the game work better. Don't worry about it too much....

Not particularly fond of the actresses, nor of any other part of the video(s), but this dance move with their skirt swirling really has me wanting it looping somewhere within my line of eyesight all the time.

Every now and then people like to talk about future human evolution, that humans hundreds of thousands and millions of years from now humanity may be a completely new species that does not resemble a modern human any longer. Do you think so?
Personally, I'm inclined to believe that evolution is like language. When there is a strong social fabric connecting one person and community to the next, languages evolve very slowly. When that cohesion breaks down, languages tend to diverge and evolve. I think evolution is probably something like that, and within our broader interconnected world, humanity will probably evolve more slowly together and so maybe that human born hundreds of thousands and millions of years from now will resemble us much more than others like to suggest.

God damn I hate the modern internet
I just wanted to re-learn how to edit a clip in davinci, but it's impossible to actually find the information. Google is just a bunch of AI garbage and youtube nonsense that is 30 minutes long to explain something that would take one entire sentence.
I don't know how anyone learns a new skill in this hellscape of noise.
Then I remembered a tip where you add "+reddit" to search reddit for humans sharing information for the benefit of other humans and I found it within seconds. This is going to be patched out, isn't it? Everything else is already drowned out.

Why play something competitive if you are not going to be the best? or among the best, at least.
¨For fun¨ is the obvious answer but then you have a big skill gap between players. I don't play competitive online games anymore because I haven't been able to find an answer to this. I don't want to be a pro or anything, just good enough to think of myself as ¨good at the game¨. Whatever that game might be.
Instead, I've been playing Prominence Poker and MahSoul because those games are luck based and I can listen to a video or do something else while playing.

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.o
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.

Greetings and rabbit rabbit (you didn't remember to say it, right?)
For a bunch of reasons I can't get into this is my favorite month of the year. One of those reasons is I get more free time to work on things I enjoy.
Over the last couple of weeks I've been re-watching Moon Phase for the first time in over a decade. I grabbed the best version I could find from the usual trackers. The release I got seems to be the most popular and all of the others seem to be using the same subtitles for the English translation. I was disappointed see that the scripts being used are filled with both spelling and grammar errors. One of two per episode I can forgive. A typo that's one letter off on standard QWERTY keyboard I can forgive. But I hit a string of 3-4 episodes in a row filled with horrible errors and it was obvious to me that no one bothered to even quality check the work before pushing it out to the public. This is in addition to several other errors I've noticed in the video/audio portion along with some pacing issues in the scripts themselves.
I posted all that to propose the following;
I've been slowly working on a handful of old series (and one new one) thanks to various people from here and elsewhere that so graciously provided me with good raws for a couple of shows or volunteered to do quality checking. I haven't been able to put out much in the last few months but now that I'll have more free time I'll be pushing some stuff out soon. But I'm one man and can only do so much so quickly.
So I was curious if anywhere here would be interested in helping out with things like correcting spelling errors in scripts or watching pre-release encodes. I need people to do stuff like the following;
1) Test encodes on various set-top devices (video game consoles, firesticks, AppleTV etc)
2) Double check spelling/grammar in English subtitle scripts
3) Watch test encodes on various different software/hardware players and tell me how things work on their local mpv/mpc-hc+mad configs
4) Help track down raws (DVD, LD, BDs and VHS) that aren't as common on public sources for some older content
5) Help initially seeding releases / posting them to public trackers
6) Post list of shows/series they think could use some attention
In other words the usual work for old fansub groups. If you can do other things like typesetting, timing, and encoding that's would be much appreciated as well. I'm basically trying to see if we can get an open source group going that doesn't fall into the usual trap of the fansub drama. An anonymous group if you will.
Last year a handful of people came together and did a show together and it turned out great and ended up being a lot of fun for everyone involved despite some people attempting to ruin that. I'd like to do the same thing for some older shows. I just happened to notice Moon Phase could really use a better subtitle script and thought people here might be interested in making that happen.
Anyway, last year we all worked using public threads+email when required. Worked out fine. We do have an IRC bot but we rarely use the channel it's in for anything but uploading files to it when needed. I don't care if we release under that old group name or make up a new one. I don't care about starting a website/page or trying to build up a reputation (we can use a different group tag for each show or none at all for all I care). I'd just like to see some of this old stuff get a proper archival release for future generations. Since the people currently churning this stuff out don't seem that interested in maintaining a level of quality I feel is acceptable (on public sources at least).

Stardew Valley
It's been a while since Kissu's played any games together, and with the interests in agriculture becoming more relevant and Stardew having finally received its multiplayer update recently, I was thinking now is as good a time as ever to see if there's interest in cultivating together. I think in comparison to the upcoming Factorio expansion it should be a nice relaxing intermission people will enjoy. Also it's on sale right now so if anyone's interested I can buy it for them ( https://steamcommunity.com/chat/invite/NUIbnP7U )

Horror of the Incomprehensible
Watching the most recent episode of Madome and within it there was a botched demon summoning that took place. Unlike the typical fantasy demons though the world in this treats them as beings on the opposite spectrum of gods, so for the MC being faced with just a botched fragment of the insurmountable being felt completely hopeless. Though a convenient plot thing happened that allowed the issue to go away, it did well at showing the sheer scale of power displayed by the demon fragment. It got me wondering, what are some good examples of media /qa/ knows that tackle this lovecraftian feel properly? It seems difficult for most authors to really present to their audience creatures whose scale is just infinitely above what can possibly be defeated in traditional manners.
