Halo is moving to the Unreal engine. Halo is not important enough to post about on /qa/ or /jp/ so I will post about it here. The announcement video they made isn't important enough to post either so I will post this nice song instead.

I'm not sure what the point of the thread is if the topic isn't important at all but I hope people appreciate the song that I posted and I hope people appreciate the time and effort I spent watching the Halo Unreal engine announcement video and the time and effort I spent in making this thread. I hope people appreciate the effort I went to in selecting this song as well, I wasn't sure what song I was going to choose to post but I thought long and hard about it and in the end I felt that this song was the best song to post. I hope that the people of this board appreciate this thread that I have made.

When you think about it, those holding office don't really do much in the way of actually working or staking out well defined positions on anything. Their answers are vague at best with some feel goodness to them, or too specific without any care for how people feel. It seems that just like with people at any other job they're only half-assing it with luck being the primary factor that landed them where they are today.

What determines the "strangeness" of different fetishes? I say the main factor is whether it is supplementary to regular sexual act or if it supersedes them. Which is why romance plots involving vampires/monsters are relatively mainstream, while things like scat or baby rp are not.

Many TV stations(mostly Public ones for some reason) are creating content inspired by Youtube or made to specifically target Youtube. This video is by the ABC and is heavily modelled after Youtube and even mentions the comment section at the end, there are other segments of the ABC that kind of copy Youtube documentary formats but will even have a Youtube like set in the background(shelves with random things on them). The BBC has a gamer segment that the host presents from a gamer chair in a gamer room, the PBS channel has numerous Youtube channels as well like PBS Space Time and PBS Terra.

Interesting. I wonder if this is what the future of Youtube will be, if eventually it will just become regular TV anyway.

People like to place politics as the forefront of discussion when incompetence is far easier to blame. Though there's maybe a case for overlap between the two. On the other hand like this video points out, Blizzard has been accused of the same politics and yet people love Overwatch. So it stands to reason more the culture of toxic positivity and refusal to acknowledge critique is to blame for Concord's failure than general politics.

I think dissecting the reasoning and hole the team fell into that lead to such a colossal failure at attracting an audience with their product is much more interesting than any of the culture war stuff surrounding it.

How to draw a REALLY gross foot

This is how a foot can be drawn in the most kimo way possible by getting everything about it disgustingly WRONG. These are things that can happen by accident when someone is attempting to draw a foot. I am not addressing ways of intentionally making a foot gross such as dirt, mole, hair, callus, stink, etc.

¥ Triangular
The heel is narrow and pointy while the ball of the foot is wide.
¥ Long foot
The foot is long. This combined with the triangular nature creates awful "kangaroo feet".
¥ Bean shape
The foot is bowed outwards, and the heel and and ball of the foot points inwards towards the centre line. This is often made worse by the toes also pointing inwards, and in advanced cases, the toe length increasing from pinky toe to big toe.
¥ Toe spacing
The toe has an unsightly gap between it and the next toe.
¥ Long toe
The toe is long instead of cute and round and stumpy.
¥ Thin toe
The phalanges is thin compared to the tip. This makes the previous two problems even worse.
¥ Flat foot
The foot has no arch, sitting flat against the ground.
¥ Toenail
YUCK! Give it a trim.
¥ Red
The unnatural colour of the foot gives the impression of a steamed lobster.
¥ Wrinkle
Just looks old and gross.

You know I've always had my doubts about how people could say stuff like "The only people that could be against incest are people without a sister!" because I've always been pro incest and had a lolimo. But recently as she's been getting up into her later teen years I'm finally starting to understand why people could be swayed in the other direction. She was always a bratty teen, but it's just gotten worse and worse and I think of her as such a bitchy annoyance. So I can see with that how people could be turned off from the idea of incest forever based on it.

Not me though, I'd still absolutely ravage my imouto if given the chance and opportunity.

I do my best to stick my head in the sand while using X and only browse Japanese content, but for most of 2024 now anytime a Japanese thread goes viral the comments are just drowned out in Indian engagement farmers posting machine translated Japanese from whatever it is they speak. And then on top of all this they samefag and don't even get punished for it since they have that stupid checkmark. They do this on Earthquake and Typhoon threads and disrupt real people's attempt at communicating the situation.

Secret Club

I know I've mentioned this a few places tonight so I wanted to post a thread to gauge interest and get some opinions on the matter. I don't mean to be all doom and gloom here I'm trying to be proactive. I've discussed this with some people through e-mail already but not I'm seeking other opinions as I value anon's input in all matters.

With that in mind I'm going to copy/paste something I wrote in an email a few months ago. I'd love to hear your opinions. I'd like to work together with some like minded people to make this a reality. It's a long email so I'll need to break this over multiple posts are usual.


#####################################

The <TBA> Media Club Proposal. Requesting input from all possible
founding members. Please share with your friends that you think would
make good founding members!

Goal of this project is to replicate the feeling of the early comfy
anime/manga college clubs I participated in while living in America in
the 90s. Along with very early digisub community that spawned on IRC
in the late 90s-early 2000s before it went "mainstream".

In addition the goal is to merge the English speaking
and Japanese speaking otaku communities. Which I feel
is more possible now than in the past due to good on-the-fly translation software and so many people eager
to learn Japanese or English as a second language. As such all parts of the website will be bi-lingual.

In this thread I post updates about fansub projects I'm working on and beg for free labor.

We started working on MahoAko yesterday. We thought the Chihiro TL would be good enough to use but we're going to end up making a lot of modifications and removing most of the styling they used (karaoke is awful). They did make some impressive signs. The 2nd episode's .ass file is 44.5MB.

Transformation scenes in episode 1 have bloated up file size to 900MB-1.4GB. We may attempt to make it smaller but right now we're more concerned with timing and the translation.

Will post public QC version soon if anyone wants to help. x265+Opus as usual. Anything beyond that can be done by request (like FLAC). Last time I asked no one spoke up so I've not been doing lossless audio or x264 releases anymore.

We had to slightly bump up requirements for play back devices to 4.1 high profile because transformation scenes kept running up against bitrate buffer. Will probably use that profile going forward. Since it gives us a little more head room and most modern devices support it just fine.

If anything bothers you about existing TLs of anime speak up now or forever hold your peace. We'll be back to working on older stuff soon™. Thanks to whomever provided some good raws for older stuff like BPS I haven't forgotten you. Just been busy.

Encoding notes: The JPBD for MahoAko is really bad. Horrible upscale by studio. Lots of banding. Did what I could to fix it. Can't descale to native resolution because it's a hodgepodge of different resolutions even within the same scene. Went with mild AA+minimal line darkening instead. That's it.

I've been waiting YEARS to post this, and I think it's finally time to do so:
April 2003, A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy
https://web.archive.org/web/20110807032541/http://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html
Phenomenal title, wouldn't you agree?

>Now, this story has been written many times. It's actually frustrating to see how many times it's been written. You'd hope that at some point that someone would write it down, and they often do, but what then doesn't happen is other people don't read it.

Shirky's speech draws from a book called Experiences in Groups by W. R. Bion. He starts off by comparing the internet to a group of neurotics that Bion was taking care of, which were "conspiring to defeat therapy," spontaneously and without obvious coordination. You see, dear >>19472, the topics of /r9k/, politics and youtubers are actually part of a basic group of topics that groups naturally drift towards. It's, I would say, a mixture of salacious talk and an attack on the outsider, two of the three topics Shirky brings up.
But you know what? Today I don't feel like writing an essay, I simply don't. So, I'm just gonna leave here some of its beautiful quotes (without green):


The first is sex talk, what he called, in his mid-century prose, "A group met for pairing off." And what that means is, the group conceives of its purpose as the hosting of flirtatious or salacious talk or emotions passing between pairs of members.
You go on IRC and you scan the channel list, and you say "Oh, I know what that group is about, because I see the channel label." And you go into the group, you will also almost invariably find that it's about sex talk as well. Not necessarily overt. But that is always in scope in human conversations, according to Bion. That is one basic pattern that groups can always devolve into, away from the sophisticated purpose and towards one of these basic purposes.


The third pattern Bion identified: Religious veneration. The nomination and worship of a religious icon or a set of religious tenets. The religious pattern is, essentially, we have nominated something that's beyond critique. You can see this pattern on the Internet any day you like. Go onto a Tolkien newsgroup or discussion forum, and try saying "You know, The Two Towers is a little dull. I mean loooong. We didn't need that much description about the forest, because it's pretty much the same forest all the way."
Try having that discussion. On the door of the group it will say: "This is for discussing the works of Tolkien." Go in and try and have that discussion.
Now, in some places people say "Yes, but it needed to, because it had to convey the sense of lassitude," or whatever. But in most places you'll simply be flamed to high heaven, because you're interfering with the religious text.


And then, as time sets in, difficulties emerge. In this case, one of the difficulties was occasioned by the fact that one of the institutions that got hold of some modems was a high school. And who, in 1978, was hanging out in the room with the computer and the modems in it, but the boys of that high school. And the boys weren't terribly interested in sophisticated adult conversation. They were interested in fart jokes. They were interested in salacious talk. They were interested in running amok and posting four-letter words and nyah-nyah-nyah, all over the bulletin board.
And the adults who had set up Communitree were horrified, and overrun by these students. The place that was founded on open access had too much open access, too much openness. They couldn't defend themselves against their own users. The place that was founded on free speech had too much freedom. They had no way of saying "No, that's not the kind of free speech we meant."


Geoff Cohen has a great observation about this. He said "The likelihood that any unmoderated group will eventually get into a flame-war about whether or not to have a moderator approaches one as time increases." As a group commits to its existence as a group, and begins to think that the group is good or important, the chance that they will begin to call for additional structure, in order to defend themselves from themselves, gets very, very high.


The web turned us all into size queens for six or eight years there. It was loosely coupled, it was stateless, it scaled like crazy, and everything became about How big can you get? "How many users does Yahoo have? How many customers does Amazon have? How many readers does MSNBC have?" And the answer could be "Really a lot!" But it could only be really a lot if you didn't require MSNBC to be answering those readers, and you didn't require those readers to be talking to one another.
The downside of going for size and scale above all else is that the dense, interconnected pattern that drives group conversation and collaboration isn't supportable at any large scale. Less is different -- small groups of people can engage in kinds of interaction that large groups can't. And so we blew past that interesting scale of small groups. Larger than a dozen, smaller than a few hundred, where people can actually have these conversational forms that can't be supported when you're talking about tens of thousands or millions of users, at least in a single group.

Do you think it's possible for a lifelong NEET to have a romantic relationship? How does one even find a partner with aligned interests?

I'm halfway to wizard age and I've been thinking about at least trying to turn things around for myself, but actually doing so seems incredibly difficult. I can financially support myself and fulfill boyfriendl-y duties, but I can't drive because of a disability. I'm not even sure how someone like me would find a partner.

I tried to tell you cars were the problem and that the lack of walkability in cities leads to worse health outcomes, but you didn't listen. Do you really think people would still be obese if they had lived somewhere where they could get in a healthy amount of walking or biking, or otherwise take public transportation to get where they need to go? I'm sure the fact that most Americans get in their 4000 lbs vehicle to go to their local Walmart that is 1 mile away, and work in a job that is completely sedentary, and then come home and live a sedentary life in from of their computer has absolutely no impact on anything~.

>The number of U.S. adults who died of heart disease and whose death record cited obesity as a contributing factor was three times greater in 2020 than in 1999, according to research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

Brains and Consciousness

>>>/sum/2723

I think the research thus far has been overly focused on subjects who have had surgical intervention to split the hemispheres of the brain, rather than subjects that have had no connections between the hemispheres from birth. To my knowledge, and very cursory searching, no similar studies have ever been attempted to be replicated in these persons. I'm personally inclined to believe that in absence of any direct connection between the hemispheres, the hemispheres are still able to communicate effectively, but at lower bandwidth through obscured pathways which might result in difficulties with more abstract perception. I'm personally acquainted with one person who has this condition and they're pretty normal, albeit with the caveats mentioned in the links below. The concept of "split consciousness" has always been questionable to me.

blog thread

I made a thread here a few months ago in which I said the blog thread was teetering on the precipice of my tolerance levels due to the harm it was doing to kissu. People were beginning to treat it as an all-purpose general thread as if this were one of those /a/ boards with one active thread at a time.
Well, how have things gone since then?

Going back 50 posts (may have messed up counting) starting with >>>/qa/112367
Number of blog posts: 4.
Because of the following posts I did not lock that thread immediately, so good work on using the blog thread as a blog: >>>/qa/112384 >>>/qa/112428 >>>/qa/112459 >>>/qa/112534

It is my opinion as a mod/demi-admin/whatever that the time has come for kissu to spend some time without the blog thread again. And yes, we've done it before, although I can't remember when.
There are multiple discussions that could have been new threads and multiple posts that would have been good additions to existing topical threads. I don't want to fight against people and spend each day moving a dozen posts into existing or new threads. Contrary what you may think, your new thought or opinion of something does deserve a new thread. Don't sell yourself short. You can even make a new thread on /jp/ with no comment at all if you want, or no file at all.

The blog thread persists so long as it is not actively detrimental to kissu's functionality as a site with multiple boards dependent on people creating new threads, and people seeing them and commenting in them. Once people start congregating into one thread the rest of the site starts to atrophy. The sooner action is taken to curb this behavior the less betrayed people will feel when it's gone. I already worry that people have become accustomed to creating non-blogs in it because they think it's better than making a thread.
So, at some point in the near future I think kissu will be spending some time without the board-within-a-board thing known as the blog general.

Kuon has left and the rule is gone. Perhaps she'll return one day...

I expect to see it on 4chan and other sites with close cultural ties to it, but kinda sucks to see the /qa/ name depicted this way on a "retro anime" imageboard: https://wapchan.org/meta/res/866.html
Is this something to "correct" or do we just accept that /qa/ is forever associated with the stuff that we would have spammed off the board back in the day
