Let's have a thread for expressing thoughts and ideas which don't really deserve their own thread, and possibly aren't entirely appropriate for elsewhere on the site. As the content that description begets may not be entirely up to /qa/lity standards, I ask that posts made in this thread are moderately thought out and are kept at a civil level so the thread remains somewhat peaceful and is befitting of kissu. Aside from that, feel free to get whatever it is that's bothering you off your chest, or say whatever odd thoughts may come to your head.

Jaiden Animations has a crew somewhere around the low-double high-single digits range last I checked. It's not 1:1 the same, because she uploads way less frequently, but with the style of content she does taking longer (animation, game reviews and vtubing) I feel like it evens out.

Mmmm, I'm not so sure about that. Look at the Linus Media Group's site and all of their stuff:
https://linusmediagroup.com/
Linus's main channel does daily uploads, Techquickie uploads every 3-4 days, ShortCircuit 1-2 days, TechLinked 2-3 days, Mac Address every two weeks, Channel Super Fun is apparently monthly, and LMG Clips put out seven videos in the last 24 hours. I went and looked at their uploads over the last seven days and they've put out roughly SIX hours of video in just one week. Those are videos that get written, recorded (with fancy cameras, lighting, etc), edited, and which use tons of props and hardware that they need to first obtain, move around, and set up properly. On top of that, they put out another episode of their WAN Show podcast which is over five hours long.
They also manage their own merch, which has way more stuff than Jaiden's store:
https://www.lttstore.com/collections/all
And they have some sorta streaming thingy site:
https://www.floatplane.com/discover
Even holds an expo wtf???
https://www.ltxexpo.com/

In comparison, this week Jaiden streamed 14 hours of raw, unedited gameplay, and she puts out 15-20 minutes of what looks to me like somewhat plain animation every couple months. I don't think the two are on the same level.

To expand on my thoughts on New Urbanism (and similar things like Strong Towns), I think the thing that bothers me the most is when they confuse optimizing for space with optimizing for human comfort and happiness.

Like, oldschool European alleyway-type streets definitely have their charm, but they're also hella claustrophobic, don't allow much light in (especially as the buildings get taller), and provide little in the way of privacy. I like visiting places like these because, again, they have their charm, but for the sake of my mental health I'd much rather actually live in a city where I feel like I have personal space.

Not to mention that they want to "emulate" city design of countries that they have never lived in, visited or really even know about.
Amsterdam is a nightmare to travel around in any form of transportation.

 No.2276

>>2271
Another thing that drives me crazy is how much they talk up "traditional architecture" as superior to "modern architecture". There's no such thing as "traditional architecture". You're comparing millennia worth of different styles
that evolved independently all over the world to a small handful of closely related movements from the same ~100 year period. No shit more people are going to like "traditional" more; there's significantly more of it to like.

 No.2277

>>2273
I saw at least one nutcase say that people crave a "sense of enclosure", which I'm pretty sure is the exact opposite of what most actual living breathing human beings want.

>>2271
>>2275
They confuse "nice to visit" and "nice looking" with "nice to live in".

When you take a vacation somewhere, you don't have to interact with the ugly bits that citizens do, and you don't have the time to get tired of the good parts. There's a good reason that most photos of Amsterdam, for example, are of nice looking buildings next to nice looking canals, with the inconvenient innards of the city being treated like an out-of-bounds area in a game.

That's weird. I thought the whole point of fighting against cars in urban design was to free up space and stuff.

I've gotten GNU/Linux perfect for me (XFCE+Fedora, an almost completely free system, looking at getting a fully FLOSS system with trisquel when the money's right)

That's the excuse people use to not bother at all.
But I think it's flawed because while people do have different tastes they can agree on certain things and the majority will sway a certain way. Plus even if you can't please everybody you should steal try to make something beautiful.

 No.2300

>>2299
My point is more that it's not a definite 'thing'. The utility of language is to communicate ideas, and, in general, if a term isn't bound to a clearly defined concept—if we argue over what it means—it's useless as a term. What I'm suggesting is that we break down the various, at times mutually-exclusive ideas represented under the banner of "beauty", and then seek out more precise ways of describing each of them.

 No.2301

>>2300
To a degree but people's view on beauty is more closely aligned than you would think and there is a lot of common ground there.
Pretty much everybody would agree that Venice is beautiful or that the alps are beautiful for example.
Many terms are bound by far less defined concepts.

 No.2302

>>2301
My umbrage with the term is that people use it as if it were a clearly defined thing unto itself, as opposed to an abstract category that contains several other, more concrete ideas. Writing a poem about the value of beauty, from my perspective, is the same as writing a poem about the value of goodness; you're not really saying anything.

Starship might launch today, they are hoping for 8 AM CT, which is about an hour away.

i believe most derailment here is people consciously veering into something thats obviously not what the op intended

I find it mildly annoying when people call Undertale (and by extension Deltarune) an "Earthbound-like". Sure, the Mother games were a big influence, but so were Cave Story, Shin Megami Tensei, Touhou, Mario and Luigi, Yume Nikki and Moon.

People love to hate on DBS and its community, but it seems to me like they've been pretty damn influential. Their funposting starting in 2017 seems to have paved the way for Spanish terms and tierlists becoming way more popular throughout most of 4chan. SEXOOOO in particular is shockingly widespread, reaching 68k posts on Desu in the last three years alone. Before 2020 only 15K total posts with the word had been made, of which a measly 4k had been made during 2018 and 2019. That's like an over 1000% increase in yearly sexo. They also created "I kneel", which similarly gives NINETY FOUR THOUSAND results since the start of 2020. Worth remarking that numbers for both of these are taken from Desu alone. Very, very interesting stuff.

Thinking about Honzuki made me think about something. I don't think it's an uncommon stereotype for poor and uneducated people to have lots of children. But... When people live in cramped tenements as poor people often do... How do people find the time and privacy to... y'know... Do they just not have any shame and tell their kids to turn the other way... I don't like thinking about this.

Thingken about that time a local sushi chain had a moe mascot before going pro and winning a Michelin star. They had itasha delivery cars and even a lorry with a huge picture of their mascot on it.
