Spring 2023 Anime
A breath of fresh air after the barren wasteland that was Winter, I'm actually looking forwards to a lot of the things airing this coming Spring. From only the short runthrough I've done I was able to immediately spot:-Megu anime
-Mahoutsukai no Yome S2
-Jigoraku
-Witch from Mercury S2
-Tengoku Daimakyou

Oh? What brings you to the abode of furry Patchy?
[This thread is a prototype of one I have planned for /qa/. This is a 'choose your own adventure' scenario using AI image prompts. While it would be ideal if you can give me specific booru tags, you can also tell me using "human language" and I can plug it in or try to adapt it into my own knowledge of booru tags.
For now, it's going to be reliant on looking at a text file to see what artist style LORAs I have available ( >>>/f/407 ) if you wish to choose one. I should probably try to find a better naming scheme if other people are going to look through it, but this will suffice for now.

CPUs and GPUs are coming back in stock.
GPU price dropped to MSRP, thanks to the end of GPU crypto mining.
New generation, low availability technologies are cropping up like PCIe 4, DDR5, RTX 4090, AM5 socket, diverting consumer attention away from previous gen.
M.2 SSDs are cheaper than ever, and will be even cheaper in the near future because of flash memory chip oversupply.

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.

Surely, /qa/ recognizes this butt or on the other hand bulge, right? Nier and Automata were the only Yoko Taro games I'd actually played before deciding to go and finish each of them in their entirety. And while similar to Drakengard in story quality, the gameplay for these RPGs actually sucks you in.
So what experience or opinions does /qa/ have with the series, or Taro in general? Automata's got an anime out right now that I've been putting on hold until I beat everything, but maybe people have seen and enjoyed it as well.

How old were you when you realized that trying to take things seriously is just meta-irony?
Meta-irony is the concept that we're pretending to be serious in a world where falsehood is the accepted norm. That we're just liars in pretending to want to be serious.
Nothing that we say on /qa/ can be taken seriously or should be taken seriously. We're all liars using sources that fit our biases.
You might think that Kissu is some site where mature styles of posting are considered better, but you're just lying to yourself in an effort to maintain some belief in the value of the old internet before people became accustomed to falsehoods and trolling.
As bots and AI style posting get more and more commonplace this meta-irony will grow more and more so that even trying to be serious on the internet will be some sort of joke. A meta-humour in a way.
Without some sort of verification system ruining your anonymity completely there's no way to even be anything other than meta-ironic.

Anyone else been messing around with the stable diffusion algorithm or anything in a similar vein?
It's a bit hard to make it do exactly what you want but if you're extremely descriptive in the prompt or just use a couple words it gives some pretty good results. It seems to struggle a lot with appendages but faces come out surprisingly well most of the time.

Take for example this unremarkable website and otherwise boring site

Someone convinces the admin to put an RCE on their desktop and screw up everything.
Is there any sort of due diligence you could do in this case or is it just a situation of another amateur sysadmin messing up as usual, giving access to people who manipulated their trust?

For example, a digitized picture of Mona Lisa worth nothing, while the original is valuable because of the canvas it was painted on.
A digital copy of a popular song can be frequently streamed for free from official sources. A ticket to a concert costs something, because you're paying for the experience rather than the song itself. The same can also be said for a digital copy of a film, versus going to a movie theater, versus the original film negative.
The price of artworks
Do you think that the price tags of artworks are determined by their mediums? I think this is the case in practical senses, which means that digital artworks should cost nothing.For example, a digitized picture of Mona Lisa worth nothing, while the original is valuable because of the canvas it was painted on.

Sadly, it really has an extremely low chance of getting translated.
So... here is my blog to attempt to try one of the fancy text hook things. If nothing else, it's going to show people that technology is pretty cool. I'd like to play through this game, but it's questionable if I'll be able to do so, especially a game that will presumably have puzzles, so a machine translation will screw me over.

I will (attempt to) play Detective Nosuri!
There was an Utawarerumono spin-off game/VN that came out in December. It's centered on Nosuri and seems to be a game that plays like the Ace Attorney games. I loved those games and of course I love Utawarerumono so I was hugely excited about this.Sadly, it really has an extremely low chance of getting translated.

According to the happenings thread >>101080 , Ash's journey in Pokémon is finally ending. It's pretty impressive. He was doing it back when I was a kid, but here we are in 2022 and it's finally over.
It brings lots of thoughts to mind apart from nostalgia.
- I wish I was into Pokémon more. It's like the /mlp/ people on 4chan, there's a bunch of dorks involved, even around my age, that still keep the magic alive. Sure, there's a bunch of kids as there should be, but it's interesting to see older people around making references that only people of a certain age would get. It's hard to find good internet losers.
-Names. People on the English internet generally refer to him as Ash (like this thread) and the localization names for each Pokemon as well. Some names are the same, but many of them aren't. One of my favorite Pokémon is Bulbausaur and not Fushigidane. With the internet full of arguments over everything regards translations, it's strange how this never seems to crop up.
-Great games. I haven't played the most recent ones, but I've never played one I didn't love. I think the newer games allow you to see the Types so you didn't need to throw moves around randomly, which was really getting to be a problem when there are 1000 of them instead of 150.
-The games get a LOT of various ROMhacks. There's even that one Touhou one that's not a hack but a standalone game. Not just simple hacks, either, but very involved stuff and you could spend thousands of hours playing them all. I should look into them more and try some out.
-Pokégirls. I think everyone knows this, but this series has some of the best character designs around and has been consistent about it since its inception. The Asuka vs. Rei thing never seemed that interesting to me in comparison to the girls in Pokémon. Even the 'girl of the week' in the anime had more interesting people in them. Duplica the girl with the Ditto that couldn't transform its face sticks out to me. Brock getting a crush on every girl really made sense.
-Just a fantastic style in general. There are places like https://hirespokemon.tumbl
I learned how to type é on the keyboard waaaay back in the day just so I could type Pokémon. Alt + 0 + 2 + 3 + 3 !
So... do you have any strong Pokémon feelings? Are you a Pokémaniac?

With that said, in recent times I've somewhat noticed a resurgence of competitors vying at a piece of the marketshare. Although at current most of these alternatives are a bit too focused on less than preferable topics, potential success could actually cause some cracks to appear in the otherwise impervious figure the current giants have formed for themselves. Which does bring up a potential question I don't think people have really considered: Instead of the net consolidating further, is it possible we actually see somewhat of a reversal in which the internet begins to fragment again?
On Media Platform Consolidation
How does /qa/ feel about so much of the content online being limited to just a few enormous platforms? In some ways this has lead to a massive increase in discoverability for smaller creators as the potential audience on these platforms could not feasibly be larger, and it's convenient for the consumer to have most everything they want right in front of them. However, everything has its downsides and I'm sure with kissu being itself split off from the mainstream net there's at least some major gripes people have with it. A good example being how content moderation on these large platforms essentially means the erasure of most content that either pushes beyond the limits of brand safe or that corporations take issue with (For example: DMCA). Plenty of videos and whatnot I've favorites on YouTube throughout the years have been lost to time because of this, and I'm sure that most of kissu has experienced the same.With that said, in recent times I've somewhat noticed a resurgence of competitors vying at a piece of the marketshare.

I don't like these games because these games don't have real difficulty or contents: they have artificial difficulty that are designed to artificially prolong the playtime and trick the players to feel they're experiencing more game contents than reality.
The only thing I need to do is to waste lots of time doing mundane things over and over again and I can beat the game when I get high enough level. Or if the game expects you to have some rare powerful items I just have to repeat the item hunt until I get that 0.001% drop. There is neither challenge, nor much of fresh contents.
Also these games tend to please casual players because casual players want dopamine and these games are designed to steadily release dopamine with level ups and item drops until the difficulty ramps up so that dopamine avoidance kicks in and players will shell out money to buy stuffs.

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. Also the AOTY polls will probably all be at the end or sometime in-between since they shouldn't be as hard of a decision.

With various advances in AI, it's becoming inevitable that such AI games will appear. And I think they have the potential to be the ultimate "write your own adventure" games.
You can write a description about what you want the game to be like and AI will generate fitting story, characters, and mechanics for it. Games can be unpredictable since every action you make in the game can lead you to a completely different route afterwards.
Imagine you can freely chat with shop owners for pretty much anything, and even develop good relationships so that you can get a discount in price in the shop, or getting some interesting random events that the game developers have never thought of like the shop owner joining your squad...
Every player and every replay will have a completely different experience which means infinite replaybility. Players can even share seeds for good plays for others to enjoy.

Alright, there's another AI thing people are talking about, but this time it shouldn't be very controversial:
https://beta.character
Using a temporary email service (just google 'temporary email') you can make an account and start having conversations with bots. (Write down the email though because it's your login info)
But, these bots are actually good. EXTREMELY good. Like, "is this really a bot?" good. I talked with a vtuber and had an argument and it went very well. Too well, almost. I don't know how varied the stuff is, but they're really entertaining when I talked to Mario and even a vtuber.
Sadly, it's gaining in popularity rapidly so the service is getting slower and it might even crash on you.
It says "beta" all over the site, presumably this is in the public testing phase and once it leaves beta it's going to cost money, so it's best to have fun with this now while we still can (and before it gets neutered to look good for investors or advertisers).

I've been thinking about applying the same principle towards other tasks - breaking them down into tiny parts that can be accomplished in a couple minutes or less, then tracking it using a clicker. But not everything breaks down so easily, and the training feels less motivating if I only get to record a click after 15-30 minutes. Perhaps if I make larger goals weekly instead of daily it'll feel better.
How do you motivate yourself to do all the things you should do in a day?
Feel free to post general progress or problems you have with motivation and getting things done.
Motivation
I've been using knitting clickers for a while now to keep track of how many things I clean around my apartment each day, with a daily goal of 20 items. It's working really well, I've basically trained myself to clean things up just because I can get a few more clicks on the clicker; like I'm training a dog. If you only clean sporadically I would highly recommend it; my apartment is cleaner than it's ever been.I've been thinking about applying the same principle towards other tasks - breaking them down into tiny parts that can be accomplished in a couple minutes or less, then tracking it using a clicker.

So the DDDDD thread made me realize that kissu doesn't really have any threads dedicated to manga that I could find. The focus seems to be too much on seasonal anime. I realize that this is because manga is much harder to find/follow than seasonal stuff as there are no clear guidelines for it and Westerners don't read comics nearly as much as the Japanese do.
Anyway, what manga have you been reading recently? I just read the latest chapter of Shimeji Simulation a few days ago. As with anything made by Tsukumizu so far it is great. Definitely recommend it to everyone here and I do hope it eventually gets an anime adaption as well like SSR.

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. This creates a more interactive experience for me than just writing out a story myself for some reason, and I find it highly addictive. Then for AI art generation, I find that AI works wonders for filling a specific niche taste I have, or specific scenario I want to create an image for. It really is quite amazing in my eyes, and I have hopes for it getting even better in the future.

I started using (and eventually even bought!) this thing called Wallpaper Slideshow after trying a bunch of free ones and getting frustrated. https://www.gphotoshow
Basically, you give it folder(s) of your choice and it will assemble a collage image of them and make it your background. You can configure it with a timer that changes it and I have it set to 15 minutes. I had originally used John's Background Switcher that someone thankfully linked to me a few months ago: >>91800 https://johnsad.ventures/software/backgroundswitcher/
I liked this one more because there's less wasted space, more options, and it just generally seems to assemble the image better. I turn it off before I go to bed each night though because I'm worried that it's keeping my hard drive active all day, which probably isn't good. I should maybe research that sometime...
This pairs well with something like Grabber ( https://github.com/Bionus/imgbrd-grabber ) that can bulk download tags from booru sites.
Of course, this stuff is kind of wasteful if you don't have an extra monitor with a wallpaper that's largely visible, but I find myself like that sometimes so it's pretty nice.

Do you like science fiction? Of course you do, everyone loves science fiction.
What are some concepts or ideas that you like in it? One of the coolest things to me are the created planets like "ring worlds" or "O'Neil cylinders". The most famous example of a ring world is probably in the Halo games and O'Neil cylinders are in Gundam a lot. Looking up and seeing the ground wrap around the sky seems so cool, but it probably can't actually happen for various reasons. Still, what a cool idea.

As a tsundere lover I was thinking about tsundere when I started to think about the differences that exist between tsuns, the start of all of this was months ago when I was trying to decide whether I wanted to use Hammann or Arethusa in Azur Lane. Both are fine tsuns, but I had difficulty thinking of them as the same. This is when I created the first set of variables, stable and unstable.
A stable tsundere acts the way they do due to their personality or to hide their true feelings. It is common for a stable tsundere to get mad and throw around insults as an intentional way to avoid showing what they really think, this goes along with the teasing the one you like dynamic with tsuns who get all mad at their person of interest as an excuse to talk to them. Stable tsundere are the type that are all "It's not like I want to do this with you or something, don't misunderstand!" yet still showed up and will happily go along with whatever is happening. For them the tsun side is an intentional choice to cover up awkwardness/self doubt and/or a result of their confrontational/abrasive personality. Arethusa is a stable tsundere. "Don't get carried away! I came here because of a tasty cake! It's still too early for me to acknowledge you!"
An unstable tsundere acts the way they do because they don't understand their feelings, their personality makes it difficult for them to control their feelings, or because they don't want to accept their feelings. It is common for an unstable tsundere to be prone to outbursts or have some reason to legitimately dislike the person of interest, violent tsundere are almost always the unstable kind unless its a femdom type of thing (think early Nagatoro and her original version from the doujin; while she can lose control, she still acts the way she does as an intentional way to show affection thereby making her a stable tsundere). An unstable tsundere is unable to control when the tsun comes out and when the dere comes out, and often can't to explain why they act the way they do. Unstable tsundere are the type that are all "I hate you! Go Die! You are human trash, never speak to me again!" yet get sad/frustrated when they get what they want and might end up going right to the person of interest. For them the tsun side is actual anger/dislike (actual or perceived) put at odds with the dere side, hence making them unstable.
Hammann is a unstable tsundere. "Why am I always so angry? Because a certain commander just won't learn! And I'm angry at myself for not getting angry at him!"
I came up with this and thought that I had come up with a good way to start categorizing tsunderes, but I knew that I would have to then think of it considering two broader types of tsundere that I already knew existed: old school tsundere and new school tsundere.
https://youtu.be/6JoyuY1i9ys
This classic clip does a good job of explaining it, but basically old school tsundere is a character that starts tsun and turns dere while new school is dere on the inside tsun on the outside. When I considered this in the context of the stable/unstable dynamic I found that you couldn't neatly describe stable tsundere as old school (though does tend to lean that direction) and unstable as new school (though again, it does tend to lean that way). The definitions aren't mutually exclusive and I was able to think of several cases where it was stable/new school unstable/old school, I have attached a (poorly made) chart with some examples for each type.
It is worth mentioning that all of this is not on a one or the other basis, I chose strong examples for the chart but these categorizations exist on a scale. An example of a tsundere I had difficulty categorizing is Asuka from Eva as she exhibits traits of both stable and unstable throughout the show and the old school vs new school is unclear as it largely depends on how you interpret the relationship. Kirino from Oreimo is another example as she is old school if you take the show at face value, but the lines becomes blurred when you watch to the end and learn more about her situation.
This is a way to categorize by type of tsundere, not type of character. Oujo-sama tsundere, tomboy tsundere, childhood friend tsundere, imouto tsundere, and bratty loli tsundere can fall anywhere in the spectrum I have created. Thank you for reading, I hope we can all continue to enjoy tsundere together.

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?

It seems WotC/Hasbro is attempting to lock down on DnD and DnD related content with this and get more money out of derivative and fan works. But the real interesting point as that this new license de-authorizes 1.0, which is pretty bold of them to attempt. It claims that after 1.1 is released no new work can use the 1.0 license, and it's caused a lot of controversy.
Personally I'm not a fan, it clearly looks like Hasbro's attempt to wring money out of the popularity of DnD. And I'm highly suspect of the legality of de-authorizing 1.0 at all. But I guess they're confidant their lawyers can defend it.
For those who don't know, the OGL is basically to TTRPGs what the GPL is to software, and it was created to mimic software licensing. It allows anyone to make, modify, or redistribute content for TTRPGs licensed under it. Most notably game mechanics and game systems.

Initial post:
We're fast-approaching the time of year where plenty of people are available, and there's a lull in media content to keep people entertained. So, I was thinking it'd be a great time to start up a Factorio server and play with Kissu! The plan is to play on a really big modpack known as Space Exploration which should ensure the server lasts a long while, and also that every person can be helpful even if they're new and it's late into the game. You see, this particular Factorio modpack revamps and expands Factorio beyond the typical endgame where you need to build a rocket out of the world, to where you will now need to escape the entire stellar cluster! Utilizing multiple planets and a space base in the process to reach this goal, Space Exploration forces the players to learn every aspect of it to keep their factory properly running. Especially with the added feature of bot decay which really changes the dynamic of the late game.
With all that said, I think it'd be good to get a head start and begin to discuss things related to Factorio related to optimizing Factories, or maybe even teaching new players/people that want to test things out how it all works. There's a lot to learn about the game and it can make it feel a bit daunting to new people at the start, so if you want to try starting up a world and seeing what makes sense and what doesn't initially I highly recommend it! Also remember that the server will be a group effort so there's no need to worry if you're not particularly good at one aspect since others should be able to help out as well!
I'll be available in the steam chat ( https://s.team/chat/NUIbnP7U ) to give anyone who may want to try out the game a copy, or you can pirate it and download the mods yourself if you so wish to do so. I plan on actually opening up the server sometime a little after Christmas, so there should be plenty of time to talk in here before then.

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.

We should try doing it again! I think one of the goals we should set our eyes on is finishing kissu's namesake since the official translation was never finished, but we should probably start small.
I think this is something we should seriously consider doing for a few reasons:
1. It's fun to do stuff together
2. We can contribute to the overall community
3. It gets kissu's name out there, which can help grow the site with new users with a shared interest
4. Using your brain to do things helps fight against Alzheimer's!

If so, say what you can do (translation, editing, etc) and maybe offer suggestions on what we could try to do first. Maybe a Touhou doujin is the obvious choice since they're so ubiquitous, but there's a lot of stuff out there.

Tea, coffee, and other similar beverages
How do you like your hot drinks? I just started making drip coffee (machine) and it is definitely an improvement over that instant stuff I used to drink for years--even the "top shelf" ones. And I like how there are so many more types of coffee to choose from now, the ones with very little acidity being my favourites.

There's two different forks of it and I don't know which one we'll use. Maybe a dice toss or something will decide? If there's some drama involved (which there usually is) I don't care about it.

New Year's Gikopoi Party
It's that time of year again when people from various textboards, imageboards, IRC and other outdated internet communities turn into little kinda-almost-isometric 2D cats and hang out and welcome in the new year. New Year's Eve is this Saturday, which will interfere a bit with the seasonal stream for some timezones, but I think we can alter how that goes and give a buffer zone for each hour mark.There's two different forks of it and I don't know which one we'll use.

To keep the "Post AI generated images" thread silly and carefree, a serious discussion that came about is being moved into this new thread so that one can stay topical.
Here is the original text:
Looks like a villain has already arose. "NovelAI", a monetized AI art thing publicly states that it trained on danbooru. Japanese artists (and stupid English speakers) upset about their art used for a paid product are associating danbooru as a willing partner and not something scraped by the parasitic company. So now some people want their work purged from danbooru because of scum like the "NovelAI" people. This is why we can't have nice things.
Also, danbooru has already banned AI-generated images. https://danbooru.donmai

I need to vent a bit, hope it won't disturb the peace and comfiness of /qa/. I swear I take it easy most of the time but I had enough. I will never buy figurines ever again. I bought a Reimu figurine from Amazon Japan for Christmas and as I was trying to put all the pieces into place I accidentally scratched the base of the figurine with the plastic stand Reimu was supposed to stay in. Then today as I was cleaning my shelf and relocating my figurines, the top of her shinto stick (sorry idk the name) BROKE UP. I can't take it anymore. I have been collecting figurines for about a decade and most of them broke up or got scratches or whatever. I'm tired of overpriced figurines, I'm tired of the of PVC, I'm tired of the burden that is putting the pieces together. Like, why can't it just be a single piece. Why the removable head, hands or torso? Why the extra fragile base stand? I won't buy more figurines because I can't take care of them. I hate how dusty they get all the time, how fragile they are and I fucking hate removable parts. I'm buying a vinil statue not a fucking toy, I don't need 5 different types of hand.
There, I feel much better now.

Is it better to space out good things or to engage with them as they are found?
I ask this because in the past 3 weeks I have finished Natsu no Arashi, Penguindrum, and Mahoromatic. I think less of Natsu no Arashi despite really liking it because I was quickly blown away by Penguindrum. Similarly I found Mahoromatic to be fun and well made, but lacked the impact the other two had. If I hadn't watched these shows so close together these connections wouldn't have been made. Is there a reason to not intentionally space things out or a way to take advantage of this?

It's a Madhouse Scifi Original by a dude who did a lot of mecha.
An episodic series where each episode builds up a hypothetical universe around artificial reality. It does this by following around a group of kids who experience it.
Rather than a story of jaded (young)adults fighting against technology it's a ghibliesque story of kids adventuring in a strange world driven by a common place technological item.
If I recall correctly it was pretty light hearted show.
I don't remember it very well and I wasn't patient enough to do episodic series a long time ago.

You WERE cordially invited to the annual streaming of Tsukuyomi Moon Phase, the namesake of this corner of the internet known as Kissu!
Kissu was born on December 1st, 2018, and since streaming is done on weekends for the benefit of those people that have things known as "lives", the stream will start on Friday, December 2nd at 6PM EST/11PM UTC.*
Currently the plan is to watch 13 episodes on the 2nd and then 13 more (12 + OVA) on the 9th, which is what we did in previous years. However, I'm also open to splitting it up into 3 weeks since 5 hours of streaming is a pretty long time.

Video Games as a Pedagogical Tool
Thinking about and planning around Factorio recently has made me wonder about what use more complex games like these could potentially have in regards to education (specifically mathematical). Usually when one thinks of games meant for education, they think of dumb kids games that aren't necessarily engaging at all. They don't necessarily challenge players to think about problems from a more "real-world" perspective. With strategy games like Factorio, AOE2, Paradox Games, Civ, or even some complex action games like Path of Exile (doubtful maybe), I believe that there's a really amazing untapped potential for the use of these for actually engaging youth and providing them with application problems that carry with them actual motivation to solve.Abstraction seems to be a real hard thing for kids to overcome and visualize, so to have something they can apply these abstractions to in a way that makes sense and produces actual visual results would probably be best to tie a reward system for people that keeps them invested in the learning process.

My idea of what a good moderation strategy could be is mods identifying the best posters and making decisions based off of what'll create the best environment for these posters. I believe this removes a bit of the bias on the side of the staff as it considers more than just their wants, and also it can lead to a bit of introspection when the "best" posters post something a bit out of orthodox. The justification for this is my philosophy that some people are just naturally quality posters or "good people" in general.

Do you watch anime on Japanese TV where they are first released?
Since anime mostly premiere on TV and only appear with subs hours later (and often weeks later back in the day), there exists a gap where they are already being discussed heavily by the Japanese communities but most Western audiences are left in the dark other than the few who choose to watch them on TV. This is especially true for anime originals.
In addition, this seems the most convenient option to catch up a large number of seasonals. The newest episodes from different titles are played one by one without any intervention from you.
Also you have the chance to see the otaku-oriented ads for the latest releases and merchandise info. At anime late night slot time they're pretty much the only kind of ads you can see. For example I saw Utawarerumono ads twice on one night of watching session!

What's Kissu's ethos when it comes to ads? Do you owe anything to creators or websites?
Recently YouTube tried out the idea of making people pay to be able to watch 4K videos, but this comes at a time when YouTube is also making users watch up to 5 ads in a row now.
I don't get how they haven't realized that making ads more intrusive encourages more people to use ad blockers. If YouTube still had banner ads and limited the number of ads to be more reasonable there would undoubtedly be less people using ad blockers and YouTube might have never gotten themselves into a situation where they would be showing a very small number of users up to 10 ads in a row...

I've been watching a few of this channels videos here and there and its really come across to me just how busy and expansive the US rail network is. At the same time that makes it seem all the stranger then that despite the infrastructure ostensibly being there, that there isn't more passenger service outside of the few large metro areas with commuter rail, such as in the North East. Likewise, its also a bit peculiar to think that there's basically no electrified lines outside of those aforementioned commuter rail services, such as along the North East Corridor with Amtrak, or with the lines operated by NJ Transit and SEPTA.

Does /qa/ keep records in any form?
I have a little notebook I use everyday to remember and keep track of what I want to get done that day, which has the upside of being able to look back in time to see what it was that I did. For example, in the 25/07/22 section I have things like "Laundromat ✓, Sweeping Ｘ".
I also have a calendar where I mark daily constant things, for example □ is the symbol I use to track that I've taken my morning pill. Before that, I'd forget, and it was messy. This way, I can look back in time and say "ah, that's when I switched to a different dose". I also write down dates for appointments or other important tasks.
A minor extra thing is writing down individual noteworthy milestones, such as "on the 23th of September of 2022 I bought a new laptop".
Lastly, I have the weekly notes I using to bring to my psychologists, with which I can see what I was dealing with at the time. They didn't have dates though, so it took me a while to nail when exactly each session took place.
Putting all of this together, cross referencing it with logs and stuff, it lets me get a pretty clear picture of how things have gone these last three years. This isn't something I implemented all at once, but a bunch of different helpful things that at one point realized I could use to form a chronology of events, which turned out to be very useful. It gives you some great perspective on your life, I seriously recommend it.

This way, I can look back in time and say "ah, that's when I switched to a different dose". I also write down dates for appointments or other important tasks.
A minor extra thing is writing down individual noteworthy milestones, such as "on the 23th of September of 2022 I bought a new laptop".
Lastly, I have the weekly notes I using to bring to my psychologists, with which I can see what I was dealing with at the time. They didn't have dates though, so it took me a while to nail when exactly each session took place.
Putting all of this together, cross referencing it with logs and stuff, it lets me get a pretty clear picture of how things have gone these last three years. This isn't something I implemented all at once, but a bunch of different helpful things that at one point realized I could use to form a chronology of events, which turned out to be very useful. It gives you some great perspective on your life, I seriously recommend it.

Kissu! Kissu! Would you be interested in playing some Minecraft together?
Last time there was a server, people were a bit divided on whether it should be creative or survival, so I set up a basic hub when you first spawn in so you can choose which you'd rather play on. At any time you're free to head back and swap which world you're playing on as you see fit.
The server will be based on 1.16.5, but is mostly client agnostic. You can play on just about any version of Minecraft from the past few years, including Bedrock Edition - which includes phones, and consoles. But, if you decide to play on an older version, things will look a bit different since new blocks and items will be rendered as older blocks and items depending on what version you're on.
There is just one limitation to the server itself, however... Because it's a free server, if no one has been online for about 5 minutes, the server will automatically shutdown beyond my control. I typically have #qa open all day, so if the server goes down, either say something there, or make a post in this thread.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.

Pixiv's monetization thingies of Fanbox and Booth are banning loli/shota, bestiality, rape, incest and guro starting on December 15th.
It is presumably related to monopolistic credit card companies exerting their influence the same way they did on Patreon and porn sites, but it is just an assumption as no one knows for sure right now. Note that this is for stuff sold, and not uploaded for free on the main pixiv site. Still, I can't imagine a neutral reception to this.

I find Claris singing the OP to Lycoris to be, in a meta way, very symbolic. Insofar as every anime I can remember them singing the OP to has been a roller coaster of entertainment from Oreimo to Madoka, and just as well Lycoris is following in those footsteps to become a favorite of mine for how lovably enjoyable it is. It doesn't tackle any unprecedented new grounds of storytelling to earn its fame; instead, the show simply follows a fairly conventional plot with extreme care and effort put into making it the best it can be. Putting its characters at the top of the priority list and endearing the audience towards them through great on-screen chemistry & development. Which by all means has been a resounding success given the anime's popularity and abundance of fanart enjoyed by the main characters.
Hopefully the success of originals like this push for more studios to try their hands at creating something of their own in the future. As I really have enjoyed recent ones like Odd Taxi and Megalobox too.

Let's talk semiconductors.
What does /b/ think about Apple's recent A16 chip? From the looks of it's using recycled Avalanche and Blizzard cores from A15 on... TSMC's N4 process... which itself has marginal, only %6 density improvement over N5 and the same yield returns. A15 itself had marginal improvements over A14, so we are talking about a two-year stagnation. Apple used to be the leader in performance per watt on their chips for a decade now, each A series processor somehow outdid its predecessor and the entire competition, but it seems like that trend is grinding to a halt. With their senior engineers departing for Nuvia and Intel and Tesla (not sure about the last one), Apple has been experiencing a massive brain drain lately. It's actually a reversal of times when they were poaching engineering from all over the industry, but it's kind of fun and sad to see the same happening to them now. M1 lit a fire under Intel & AMD's asses, and we are seeing massive performance improvements on x86 front as a result, but it looks like Apple itself is now losing steam. It's Intel's 14nm+++ all over again.
I think they were betting too hard on TSMC delivering 3nm on time in 2022, but apparently N3 has horrible yields and TSMC is trying to put the blame of kusocanning the process on Intel for withdrawing from that process for Meteor Lake (yes, 3/4 Meteor Lake cores will be made by TSMC). But even Apple apparently gave up on TSMC 3nm and like everyone they are targeting N3E now.
From the looks of it, I don't really expect any significant performance improvements from Apple for several years, primarily because they are so dependent on TSMC delivering their node advancements in time. They have to revamp their custom core designs without that sweet node shrink. AMD on the other hand entered N5P pretty late, so they have some time window until N3E actually becomes viable, and they can switch to that without much hiccups and perceived delay on their end. In my opinion, we won't be seeing any new groundbreaking chips with double digit IPC/PPW/ST/MT gains until at least 2025-2026, like how it has been for several years now. And when TSMC N3E arrives, it's going to be EXPENSIVE. Samsung's 3nm GAAFET's are pretty interesting though, as well as advancements on Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express. 2026-2027 is going to be wild for consumer processors. What do you think?

A15 itself had marginal improvements over A14, so we are talking about a two-year stagnation. Apple used to be the leader in performance per watt on their chips for a decade now, each A series processor somehow outdid its predecessor and the entire competition, but it seems like that trend is grinding to a halt. With their senior engineers departing for Nuvia and Intel and Tesla (not sure about the last one), Apple has been experiencing a massive brain drain lately. It's actually a reversal of times when they were poaching engineering from all over the industry, but it's kind of fun and sad to see the same happening to them now. M1 lit a fire under Intel & AMD's asses, and we are seeing massive performance improvements on x86 front as a result, but it looks like Apple itself is now losing steam. It's Intel's 14nm+++ all over again.
I think they were betting too hard on TSMC delivering 3nm on time in 2022, but apparently N3 has horrible yields and TSMC is trying to put the blame of kusocanning the process on Intel for withdrawing from that process for Meteor Lake (yes, 3/4 Meteor Lake cores will be made by TSMC). But even Apple apparently gave up on TSMC 3nm and like everyone they are targeting N3E now.
From the looks of it, I don't really expect any significant performance improvements from Apple for several years, primarily because they are so dependent on TSMC delivering their node advancements in time. They have to revamp their custom core designs without that sweet node shrink. AMD on the other hand entered N5P pretty late, so they have some time window until N3E actually becomes viable, and they can switch to that without much hiccups and perceived delay on their end. In my opinion, we won't be seeing any new groundbreaking chips with double digit IPC/PPW/ST/MT gains until at least 2025-2026, like how it has been for several years now. And when TSMC N3E arrives, it's going to be EXPENSIVE. Samsung's 3nm GAAFET's are pretty interesting though, as well as advancements on Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express. 2026-2027 is going to be wild for consumer processors. What do you think?

I have lots of these foods including pasta and pasta sauce, lots of sardines, beef cubes, corned beef hashes, canned ham and chicken breasts, and jams in my shelf. Also some udon, gyoza, and hot pockets in my freezer.
Together I think all these stuffs can last me about a week, but nowhere near some people who have full basements of stuffs enough for years.

Do you have a game or show or anything else that you experienced when you were younger that has left a permanent impression on you? Not just nostalgia, but you feel as though it altered your way of thinking or what it is you desire.
I'm aging myself a bit with this one, but two prominent ones for me are the two Lunar games. They're JRPGs that I first played on the PSX. They originally came out on SegaCD, but it was wisely remastered for a console that more than 5 people had. I did go back and play the SegeaCD versions on emulator back in the day, though. I even had some Lunar avatars that I still have on my drive!
The main themes of the games are adventure and love. At its core the games are very simple both in gameplay and story scope, but its charm is the unmistakable purity of it. I think these two games gave me desire for the fairytale romance that you can only see in fiction, and of course the corny "defeating the bad guy with friendship and love" cliché. It's just so beautiful and pure. If someone were to ask me what paradise is like, I would point to this kind of thing. It is the pure idealization of human emotion.
Someone might have also noticed that the art looks familiar, and that's because the character designer eventually worked on [email protected] Takane in particular really has the face, so she's a bit of a weakness of mine when it comes to 2D idols, even when I don't really partake in that culture.
Of course, the games do have issues. Today I can appreciate the fact that Working Designs went overboard with the localization process and should have been respectful to the source material. The main story is fine, but the random NPCs make jokes and references to pop culture that they really shouldn't.

Is anyone else interested in playing some Haven and Hearth in a couple weeks? It's like a free* multiplayer version of Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley in one shared world, but with more focus on exploring and there's combat and stuff. You start with nothing, but you can build up a little village (with others) as you hunt animals and raise crops and stuff. It's really so much more fun when there's a bunch of people you know working towards goals and having fun building and decorating. Do note that there's PvP and people can freely attack you if they have the right unlocked perks, though there's ways to hide in your town. Certain animals/monsters can also permanently (rarely) kill you, although it only happened to me once when I was really new. There's some system to inherit a percentage of xp from your dead 'ancestor', but I never looked into it.
There's a pretty heavy emphasis on grinding to the extent that you'll always need new materials and food. However, stuff happens on real world timers, like it takes 20 hours to dry leather, or 3 days for crops to finish growing and other such things. It takes a similar time to recover from injuries and to 'study' things to get XP, so things can't progress TOO fast.
The current world should last for at least a few more days I think if you want to run around and get a handle of things, but there's no rush.

This issue mirrors the problem of spam emails, where content-based approaches like Bayesian filtering performs significantly better than blacklist-based approaches with few false positives. Here is a write-up of this topic:
http://www.paulgraham.com/falsepositives.html
Just replace "blacklist" with "banning" and "spam" with "bad posts", and you get the situation of imageboard moderation.
I think integrating such tool in imageboard moderation provides lots of benefits:
- instant rejection of bad posts before it ever appears on the website
- moderation based on contents rather than person, less likely to cause drama
- existing moderation decisions can be used to tune the filter so they will conform to individual imageboards' standards
- it will work even better than email antispam because posters basically have to make their posts unreadable to evade filters
I can only conjecture that the only reason why this approach isn't widely deployed is because mods want to feel powerful, and this approach doesn't satisfy them.
A filtering appraoch for imageboard moderation
I've been observing a severe lack of automatic filtering approach to moderation in online discussions. The model currently used is based on banning users or IP addresses, an approach known to be ineffective because changing IP is easy, it requires constant manual monitoring of all posts, and a user can be banned for one single post regardless of how good the users' other posts are.This issue mirrors the problem of spam emails, where content-based approaches like Bayesian filtering performs significantly better than blacklist-based approaches with few false positives.

What are your experiences with the dreaded automobile and its locomotive functions, aka of the worst enemies of hikkis and neets? I have a driver's license but can't remember the last time I picked up a wheel. I probably forgot how to do it at this point. Driving is scary as hell for me. I was extremely nervous during my test and wanted it to be over as soon as possible. It's one of the most terrifying things you can do a daily basis. It's more dangerous than being a police officer or a security guard for example. Drivers have a much higher death rate than people in those professions. I had a friend who got killed in a car crash and have gotten myself involved in two accidents before, one of which could've easily killed me as well if the stupid trucker actually banged on the car instead of just scraping it, so that definitely contributes to my fear of driving.

This is both in terms of looks/visuals and shows which are my favorites. I think everyone agrees that 80s is the superior cel artstyle due to everything before it looking 'dated' and with weak art and animation and 90s anime having a 'wobbly' exaggerated look to it in comparison. And my preference for mid to late 00s stuff is because early digital stuff had a weird flat look to it since animators weren't completely used to it yet. Also helps that CGi wasn't as prevalent before. The death of hand drawn mecha was the greatest tragedy of the modern age.

Have you ever had a "misplaced time experience"? It's similar to "missing time experience" but instead you misplace the dates in which certain events occurred. For example: it's very strange to me that Kizuna Ai came to be after the 2016 election only. My brain doesn't connect the two events together and I thought she showed up earlier than that. There are also several anime/manga that give me this feeling, the most notable one being "Is It Okay to Touch Mino-San There?" I thought I read it around 2015, but to my shock it only came out in 2018 and ran until mid to late 2019.
It's not so weird as to think something which happened quite a while ago happened earlier since time appears to pass faster for you the older you get, but the opposite happening starts to get into "alternate realities/we are all living in a computer simulation" territory.
Have you ever had a "misplaced time experience"? It's similar to "missing time experience" but instead you misplace the dates in which certain events occurred. For example: it's very strange to me that Kizuna Ai came to be after the 2016 election only. My brain doesn't connect the two events together and I thought she showed up earlier than that. There are also several anime/manga that give me this feeling, the most notable one being "Is It Okay to Touch Mino-San There?" I thought I read it around 2015, but to my shock it only came out in 2018 and ran until mid to late 2019.

The Healer Girls anime seemed like a pretty ambitious and extremely well produced project for an anime where I didn't instantly recognize any of the main cast's voices. So it got me thinking and an idea popped into my mind, which looking at the seiyuu pages pretty much confirmed.

The anime seems like a test of promising new seiyuu talents with the supporting cast being mostly already confirmed pros. And so far I think they're doing a pretty good job. I think it's interesting to see things like this that show a promotion of new talents over staying with the same safe bets forever (like dubs do), what about /qa/?

How much time do you spend using imageboards a day on average? I feel like it's very easy to spend the entire day browsing a fast shithole like 4chan. It's almost as addictive as crack and cocaine and that's dangerous. This addictive quality is probably the reason why the users tend to not be very right in the head.

Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen's first 13 episodes will be streamed this Friday, and the final 12 episodes + Bonus will be next Friday, both at my usual streaming time of 6PM EST/11PM UTC!

Utawarerumono is a trilogy close to my heart, so much so that I can type it by memory!
Grand story, amazing characters, beautiful art, atmospheric music (RIP Mameda ;_;) and the gameplay in 2 and 3 are actually pretty great if you ask me. I'm going into the anime adaptation blind, however, but if it's half as good as the VN then you're in for a treat.
This is technically season 2, but it's not too strongly related to season 1 which had released a decade earlier. The VNs also share a similar gap in release dates. I'll see if I can find a relevant summary somewhere, though, if people are going in blind.
I will warn you ahead of time if you're someone that avoids conflict in media then this isn't for you. It's a world at war and it also has some really sad moments in it that aren't directly related to war. But, there is also lots of slice of life moments and positive emotions of comradely and romance in it.
