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:Best time to build a PC?
Right now it seems to be a good time to build a PC:imageboard happenings thread
Post interesting or unusual stuff concerning imageboards, textboards or related stuff here. This thread is for a more centralized place of limited discussion, but please feel free to make new threads if you want something more thoroughly discussed.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.Hidamari Stream
'Cause it's been a long time coming.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./qa/ music creation thread
i've seen dedicated drawthreads and writethreads here, but never once saw a music creation thread. considering you can post sound files here i wonder why it happens, because i did see several posters here said they made music. is it because many consider the stuffs they make have no merit to be posted? or because many have some musician profiles that they want no connection to this place...?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.Media News Thread
This is a thread for sharing general news about anime or video games or other entertainment that you don't feel like making a thread for./qa/ works on the /qa/ mansion
https://www.gameroomcity"Grindy" Games
What does /qa/ think about games that requires the player to do a lot of repetitive processes to win (grinding)?/qa/nime: continued!
I was reminded that another year has passed since the last time the /qa/ anime chart was updated, so I thought it was as good a time as ever to bring it back, update it, and improve on it a bit in the process.AI Games
What do you think about AI games, where not only scripts and characters will be AI generated, but also the game route, game mechanics, and random events?IMs and imageboards
What would the benefits and drawbacks be of trying to implement IM functionality onto an imageboard. If you were to try doing so, how would you approach tackling this? My thoughts are that an omnichat encompassing everything connected to the site and the site itself would be neat, but I can't really see the need for anything further like a board chat or smaller.Let's talk to AI Characters
MORE AI STUFF! It's weird how this is all happening at once. Singularity is near?Voiceroid fun!
Thanks to a link from a guy that lead to discussion and a link from another guy, we have links to software that makes cute voices!Raytracing
What does /qa/ think about raytracing and more specifically, ray-traced conversions of older games? Personally, I feel like most ray-tracing is wildly unrealistic and is often done in a tacky and exaggerated way, especially when it comes to RT conversions which rarely live up to the original.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.KONOSUBA STREAM
Because there's a Megumin anime coming out soon I think it's a good time to finally have Konosuba be something that the kissu stream has seen. To that end I'll be streaming the two seasons of konosuba followed by the movie these upcoming fridays and sunday.The Kissu Year+ In Review
Something I've kept to myself until now is that I've been taking catalog screenshots of /jp/ and /qa/ for a year with the goal of sharing its HTML snapshots. Well, it's time to finally use them!Learning Photoshop with Kissu!
Hello, friends. Would you believe me if I told you that the attached image is an edit? It does not exist! It's crazy, isn't it? You assumed there was a Mewkledreamy/Elden Ring crossover, but it's not actually real. This is the power of photo editing./qa/ makes a schedule
Did you know that making schedules for activities can be a good way of helping you to accomplish what you set out to do? Instead of letting NEET entropy guide you, you should try and put some order into the things you do./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!Cool Software?
Do you use any software that other people may not know about that you like?Buying stuff?
There's some bad news in Japan about the yen being quite weak lately, but it's selfishly good news for people that want to buy Japanese things, so have you thought about it or have bought anything lately?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?Intel Arc
Do you think Intel will commit to their GPU line or chicken out when the sales get bad(as Microsoft did against Apple and Samsung), which they inevitably will be against AMD and NVIDIA market dominance, or will they commit to it and try to make a market where one doesn't exist(has anyone done this)?OGL v1.1
Has anyone of Kissu heard about this? Apparently the new version 1.1 of the OGL was leaked recently and it's much more restrictive than 1.0.Factorio Space Exploration Server Thread
SERVER IS UPJapanese 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 imageboards
Let's talk about Japanese imageboards.Fall 2022 Seasonal Anime
What is /qa/ going to watch this season?Nyoroko's Live Broadcasting - a Kissu scanlation project
I feel like continuing the typesetting of this one. Can't make any promises about how far I'll get, but I'd like to get a few more chapters out at least.Revival of Translation Project(s)!
About a year or two ago we threw together a ramshackle translation group for a manga/doujin. It started off decently, but it kind of fell through at some point, although some very impressive work was done including a full translation of the text!Utena Anime Stream
As outlined in >>>/b/11084 I plan to stream Revolutionary Girl Utena in 4 separate streams starting this Friday/Sunday. Each starting at 6pm EST, that means the first stream is tomorrow!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.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.Utawarerumono? UTWARERUMONO!
I need a thread to post about the Utwarerumono trilogy, specifically the anime adaptation of part 3 which has just started airing so I made this thread. Generally speaking, I'll do what I did about the stream thread here >>91605 and post art and music and stuff to share my love for this series and I hope you'll join me in talking about it!What video editing software do you use?
What video editing software does /qa/ use? I'm looking to perform simple editing like cropping, flipping, and speeding up videos and making image sequences. I use Sony Vegas and it's really bad, the exported video is always dimmer than it should be and the compression is awful compared to ffmpeg's.Dennou Coil(2007)
In ~6 hours @ 6PM EST I'm gonna be streaming Dennou Coil(2007)Kissu's Birthday!
Kissu is four years old! Stream has concluded!Dwarf Fortress Released on Steam Today
https://store.steampoweredVideo 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.Moderation Policy
What's /qa/'s philosophy for how moderation should be handled? Hands off and left up to the users, or complete control under the mod's discretion? Back on 4/qa/ I used to lean more towards the hands off side with how the board was ruled by user moderation. However, after reflection I realized that the user moderation was a bit of a consequence of circumstance which kissu doesn't really have, so now I'm in favor of more moderation to keep boards/sites stable.writing prompt
let's have an easy little writing and writing prompts threadPixiv is being stupid again
https://www.pixiv.net/info.php?id=87How does /qa/ retain their knowledge?
What activities do you partake in to keep your mind up to par with whatever it was at its peak? How do you motivate yourself to stick with them? Also how do you switch your brain from just mindlessly playing video games to theorycrafting and analyzing them so that you can actually play/strategize better?Filters
Are filters helpful or harmful for imageboards? On one hand it can more easily allow for coexistence of elements that are both perfectly fine on the grand scale but maybe don't get along with each other. On the other, they could potentially separate boards into "factions" of sorts.Osamu Tezuka's Shammi-sen manga

There's a new season on the horizon, kissu. So that means it's time for you to sift through this list and find me the good ones to watch.Upcoming Anime
Any good anime in the future? Like, not next season but just the future. Watching this looking for things and there's a Kenshin reboot for some reason.when did you first start using Chan-Sites?
I first heard of 4chan watching Gamer from Mars videos about '10 crazy 4chan pranks' I think they were called I remember seeing these videos and thinking that 4chan was this magical place where you could say anything you wanted and get people to do what-ever you wanted and it wasn't as good as I thought it was but I still enjoyed being able to say why I liked with complete anonymity and I became interested in anime and manga and gradually I started using 8moe and other chan-sitesAudio Editor

There's a new Haven and Hearth world starting on August 12th!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.Kissu multiplayer games?
