the infamous inazuma human experiment group that makes dototre.a saint

[hot notch]

This is probably the biggest L take I've seen in a while.

To each their own I guess though

[mighty cape]

thats just his opinion

[next crescent]

Ooohhh

You meant jk Rowling

I forgot I mentioned that LOL

Yeah I don't think anyone actually takes her too seriously, it's just she's a dumbass

[hot notch]

Yea just a weird opinion to have imo. Not saying he can't have it just stating that I heavily disagree.

Also holy shit that argument was super spoiler territory. Like that season is still technically ongoing and y'all just yapping about main plot points without spoiler tags.

[mighty cape]

i was just asking thoughts on rudeus greyrat thats all

[edgy bone]

whats the context

[next crescent]

LMAO?????

[edgy bone]

also does being blood related even matter if youre lesbian

you can't really make a kid

[next crescent]

It still feels morally gross and is illegal in most places I'm pretty sure

The latter at least for marriage I think

Also the thing is a Valentine's day tag so it'd also be for someone else that you are (hopefully) not related to

[mighty cape]

wtf is this

[mighty cape]

It’s an anime based on a manga called Citrus

Which is uhh

Pretty infamous lol

But yeah they’re step siblings from a recent marriage rather than them being raised together

So it’s not as ‘bad’

But the iffy thing that brought controversy was the dubious consent whenever the black haired one came onto her step sister that got people feeling icky ig

[mighty cape]

i dropped this anime a long time ago

[trail hornet]

Wth😭

[ionic schooner]

The pun is pretty funny

Ngl

[topaz linden]

That anime's a hell of a ride into adulthood

AMV that captures the mood of it perfectly
https://youtu.be/2wJ6V55M0JQ

[raven trail]

Are u guys against ppl interpolating anime fight scenes to 60fps

I personally like them so much

I completely agree its a disrespect to the artists who made them tho

[frank musk]

the smoothness ruins the weight and impact of many fights, especially hand-to-hand combat for example

but on the other hand, another reason could be why they do this is cuz they dont want to get copyrighted

[frank musk]

i doubt this was the intention tho, but it sounds plausible

[raven trail]

I think its kind of subjective tbh, i have seen majority not like 60fps stuff but to me personally, i watched the 60 fps sukuna vs mahoraga and it felt very buttery smooth to my eyes

[raven trail]

Yup very much possible

[topaz linden]

depends on the fight tbh

I find fights with a lot of effects in them (explosions, smoke, etc) look decent with it, while hand-to-hand/sword fights tend to look crappier imo

[frank musk]

also theres this blobbiness to it, like there are these anomalies that are not supposed to be there, and its so off-putting, its like smear frames (which serves a purpose ofc, its supposed to look weird), but this time, its there for no reason at all, and instead of looking funny and stupid, it looks annoying and pointless

is blobbiness even a word?

its like when you have a project corrupted

[shadow knot]

this vid answers your question https://youtu.be/_KRb_qV9P4g?si=F1XM0C-yLQvuqdn8

[raven trail]

Damn thats good

Basically its bad but gives an illusion to eyes bcoz motion blur

[edgy bone]

i really dont like using the terms good and bad broadly like that

if you like it then that's all that matters

[shadow knot]

call it mid and move on

[raven trail]

W mindset

[dusty fable]

call it zoomer and boomer animation

[edgy bone]

people on the internet developed this habit of saying things they like are "good" and whatever they dont like is "bad" and it always bothers me when i see that kind of stuff

nothing is good or bad in a vacuum

[raven trail]

Using racial slurs is bad

Feeding a hungry street dog is good

[dusty fable]

what if dog food is made from stray cats?

[raven trail]

Up for debate

[dusty fable]

what if dog food is made from elderly humans who died of natural causes?

[frank musk]

this took a turn i wasnt expecting

[dusty fable]

this was supposed to have a mildly interesting ending, but he never answered

[shadow sleet]

Almost anyone wouldve been better than sylphie though

[raven trail]

If dog can only and only eat this, i think i’ll vouch for “yes”

[edgy bone]

you could say that it's meanspirited and doesn't help with becoming friends with the other person.
But if a different person doesn't care about these things then they might not view it as "bad" .If ,say, for w/e reason they actually wanted to get the other person to be angry at them, then this could be an effective way to do so.

you could say feeding the dog is helpful for the dog since they're not hungry anymore, but it's also a use of food supplies. If someone values keeping the food for themselves more than they care about the dog being hungry then they won't see feeding it as a positive

(im sure there's better examples you can give but im bad at coming up with hypotheticals)

you get the idea

[shadow sleet]

i listed a lot before the season started and i ended up only watching like 3-4 😭

[edgy bone]

do you do this every season?

[shadow sleet]

the last couple of seasons

[edgy bone]

and do you enjoy keeping up with things like this?

[shadow sleet]

i just dont have the energy to start even though i have a lot of spare time and am bored most of the time 😂

sure

[edgy bone]

naruhodone

i used to kinda do this when i was younger but that feeling of having to keep up with the output treadmill was overwhelming and i stopped

[dusty fable]

interesting, I expected a more traditional answer. Personally, I find it strange that people prefer the remains of their relatives to decompose (cremation is a more preferable option, but also not without its negative sides). But that's how the social behaviour evolved

[shadow sleet]

yeah its just something to have to look forward to

[dusty fable]

well, simply if put between a choice of feeding a starving human or a starving dog (for example in an area of natural disaster with limited supplies), it would be pretty bad to feed a dog instead of a human

[edgy bone]

i think that also depends on further context and one's values

if that dog is your best friend and the human is someone who you dont know or has been an your enemy then i could see someone picking the dog

point im trying to make that good and bad aren't absolute truths , and i dont really like when people use them as such

[dusty fable]

pretty sure that would be pretty bad in any ethical system

[shadow sleet]

nah id def pick my dog

[edgy bone]

why should that person care about other people's ethics

[shadow sleet]

yeah these things arent black and white

always depends on the context

[dusty fable]

because if we are talking about good or bad that usually implies some sort of an external judgement

[edgy bone]

sure but my point was that people nowadays use them as synonim for "I like this" /"I dont like this"

[dusty fable]

well, these are all human concepts, so they are what we define them. Replacing "like/dislike" with good bad seems incorrect, but if enough people start doing that regularly, it could as well become a norm

[edgy bone]

you havent noticed this ?

i see it everywhere when people try to argue what's better

[dusty fable]

I noticed this. What I say that if more people do it this way, it might become an accepted usage

[edgy bone]

ah

ye ik it's just

im not a fan of conflating words like that

we already have terms to describe what you like

let's not change the meaning of a different word to do the same thing

this already happened to the word meta and it also bothers me

[dusty fable]

ppl do this all the time with different concepts, even sometimes altering the original meaning to a completely different one. If ppl find if more convenient, then it is more convenient

that's just a normal evolution of a language

[edgy bone]

[dusty fable]

I don't even think it is possible to alter this course without some unnatural intervention (like censorship), because it's just how the languages change to suit the needs

if ppl prefer to insulate themselves from their opinions (by saying that something is bad instead of saying that they dislike it), then it will become a norm eventually

[sharp glen]

new games in a nutshell

people calling everything mid tbf tho no one makes good games anymore compared to before

:sadge:

[edgy bone]

(nice pfp)

[sharp glen]

:ok~1:

[shadow sleet]

just self insert it in ur head
(i find that) the game is mid

😎

[edgy bone]

speaking of games

ive been gamehopping a bunch lately

[shadow sleet]

last game i played seriously was palworld till 140hrs

[edgy bone]

downloaded basically every single 3ds and ds game i could ever think of playing on my console

[frank musk]

im finally playing hades

[sharp glen]

:POGGERS:

[frank musk]

im having a good time im getting my ass kicked

[edgy bone]

i really liked the way hades did a lot of the more typical roguelike concepts

[dusty fable]

its a good one. Though not really THAT engaging. Like their BASTION is a much better game IMO

[edgy bone]

and how it all tied into the narrative

[sharp glen]

maybe shouldve bought dead cells

[edgy bone]

but i dislike roguelikes in general so i never got far into it

[sharp glen]

i heard hades has shittier difficulty than dead cells

like u dont get stronger as difficulty increases

dead cells its just well balanced

miasma is a cool mechanic

i meant malaise

:ICANT:

[frank musk]

ill admit hades does get spammy

[sharp glen]

if its early game

thas normal for all roguelikes

[dusty fable]

that was the main selling point, because it was novel. And pretty good one too

[sharp glen]

u have to dodge and shit once it increase diff

[frank musk]

i probably buy AC6 too before the sale finishes

[sharp glen]

then never plays it

[frank musk]

ive always wanted to play a mecha game after i saw gameplay in a japanese arcade

key word is "play", not "finish"

ill definitely try tho

[sharp glen]

all games should have a free trial

so people can actually see if they vibe with the game

[edgy bone]

ah

ac as in armored core

i thought it was assassins creed

[frank musk]

i miss lite versions on mobile

[sharp glen]

oh

oh

lmao

[frank musk]

oh mb

[sharp glen]

i thought it was also assassin's creed

💀

wat is armored core tho

never heard of it

[shadow sleet]

download 50GB free trial for 10 min gameplay 😂

[edgy bone]

the mecha series made by the same people who make soulsborne games

[sharp glen]

:ICANT:

so true

[edgy bone]

they kinda dropped it when dark souls got popular

[sharp glen]

fromsoft?

[edgy bone]

but they made a new one relatively recently

[sharp glen]

oh

[edgy bone]

yes

[sharp glen]

thas kinda

pog

is it souls like too?

[edgy bone]

not really?

[dusty fable]

if you want to play a true mecha game, the better choice would be Mechwarrior. While AC6 is good as a game it's more of an action platformer

[edgy bone]

it's just hard

but it doesnt have any of the souls mechanics

[sharp glen]

its mech made by japanese people so surely its great

sounds like good game

mech cool

[edgy bone]

you have auto checkpoints and dying just restarts you at them

[sharp glen]

Sam soon

[edgy bone]

theres no real looting for stuff

[frank musk]

speaking of mecha (lets get back to anime-related topics), isnt there somebody here whos into gunpla?

[edgy bone]

there is but i dont remember who exactly

[raven trail]

Damn bruh you do sure think a lot

It would also help someone who has a degradation fantasy

But thats just a rare case

[edgy bone]

degradation fantasy?

smh filter

[raven trail]

Uhm its like someone who liked getting insulted

[hot notch]

It's me

I'm the Gundam guy

I still disappointed with Mato Seihei tho

I seen apothecary on tiktoks, so i wondered what its about

[topaz linden]

TL;DR: If you've ever watched the show Dr. House...
That, but set in warring kingdoms era Korea

[edgy bone]

wait what

[mighty cape]

I never seen dr house either sorry

[edgy bone]

i thought apothecary was supposed to be wholesome

[topaz linden]

Girl raised an apothecary begrudgingly helps out bizarre medical cases brought in front of her, treating them with equal parts hyper-specific knowledge cures and scathing sarcasm
But mixed with very beautiful/emotional stories

She's also really into poisons

in a sorta "I wonder what the forbidden potion tastes like" kinda way

[edgy bone]

i feel like ive seen that somewhere else but can't recall where

[mighty cape]

idk how can she be immune to poisons

[topaz linden]

I mean, some you can by taking enough small doses. But she was raised as an apothecary, so she's pretty aware of where the lethal/non-lethal line is

https://youtu.be/ruEmRWcgARI

Nice sample clip

[topaz linden]

(For context, apothecary basically is a pharmacist from before pharmacies were a thing)

[edgy bone]

does it have an overarching plot or is it episodic

[topaz linden]

Kinda overarching, kinda episodic

The individual medical cases tend to wrap up in an episode or two, but the characters in the palace have overarching plots/relations with each other that grow/develop over time

[edgy bone]

02naruhodo

[hot notch]

Do you not know the whole drama going on with Nijisanji rn?

[ionic schooner]

No

My friend talked about it though

[hot notch]

lemme check that none of these words are on ban list rq

Ok one is. Lemme rewrite real quick.

So big big TLDR of the situation:

The current drama of their termination of their talent Selen Tatsuki (now Dokibird) after they bullied her internally into attempting not alive and then terminating her without notice after forcing her to be silent for over a month. Throughout the entire process they have been entirely dismissive of their communities and trying to blame it all on Selen (Dokibird). They even had the audicity to make a public statement that was 2 sentences long one of which they state they impacts of terminating Selen financially would be "negligible". Their stock is down over 10%. Last night when Dokibird was doing her first gaming stream back, other NijiEN talents started a stream where they revealed in what was likely a canned message from management that they had seen legal documents that Selen (Dokibird) had requested stay between her and both legal teams. The CEO also made some very tactless statements.

Basically people are now calling Nijisanji as Kurosanji in reference to Japanese Kuro (black) companies where they treat their employees extremely poorly.

[ionic schooner]

Oh

I think u should still delete though

I mean nothing in that message violates the rules I believe and Vtuber are on topic for this channel via its description so I'll leave for now. It's also not the first time this entire conversation has come up in this channel. I was just summarizing it.

[edgy bone]

You can look at his yt channel,asmongold tv

For a couple years now he stepped away from wow and mostly does reaction style content where he comments about various news and the weekly internet drama

[shadow knot]

isn’t that most ccs nowadays

the last time I saw him inserted himself into drama was with tectone and atsu and he managed it well

[edgy bone]

Idk about most, the internet is a vast place

[shadow knot]

thats fair

[edgy bone]

I like his takes for the most part, used to be subbed to him before i got tired of internet drama posts

But hes very direct and doesnt sugar coat stuff which can put people off

Esp twitter crowd

[shadow knot]

based

[hot notch]

He recently made comments about AI art and artists that were really bad. Watch this from 1:52 to 3:23ish.
https://youtu.be/QWrW7L3EGk4?t=112

Literal quote "artist's opinions don't matter"

[dusty fable]

it's not like he doesn't sugarcoat things. He sugarcoats plenty of stuff. But he does his "fist in the face" arguments to attract viewers (mostly toxic ones, because his arguments tend to attract argumentative types and those who like seeing people fight in chat).
Which is whatever in my opinion, but I wouldn't put much weight to his opinion (he has ok takes for the most part, but it's hard to distinguish his honest opinion from something he says to attract viewers, which devalues his point of view)

so, returning to the question, what's wrong with asmon, nothing wrong with him, but his audience is a "combative" type (with a decent amount of toxicity too), which I don't think something a hurt person (like a vtuber with moody thoughts) would like to associate with

[topaz linden]

In the context he's talking about there (businesses), yeah
He brings up Marvel as an example. If studios can make money recycling generic plots over and over vs coming up with new material, they clearly have shown they (largely) will. So if a company sees that people will buy AI generated stuff just as readily as non-AI stuff (or even just close), well... the artist's opinions matter as little as the director's to the marketing/executive team

[shadow knot]

fair evaluation

[topaz linden]

But yeah, Asmon just annoys me cause he strikes me as a wave chaser lol. He seems to weigh in on things he almost certainly has no context/stake in just to ride the click waves

[shadow knot]

I think the only thing that bothered me in his content was the usual duration of his reaction vids

but said before, thats the norm for ccs that react to shit nowadays

[topaz linden]

10 min for the ad break, yeh?

[shadow knot]

yeh

[topaz linden]

Gotta love it lol

[frank musk]

surprised to see gintama so far on the right there

[craggy mango]

Japanese women loves Golden Kamuy? Based af

[topaz linden]

Older ones do average age of 40+

[dusty fable]

erm... I assume Touhou project is popular with teens because of OSU and other rhythm games? Kinda surprised it is an IP with THE youngest audience. Also, why shield hero is popular among boomers?

also, why Kimetsu no Yaiba audience is so freaking old

[topaz linden]

Touhou Project is better known for its fan projects/fan creations than OSU tbh. It also predates the game by a good decade or so

Not sure why it would be the youngest demographic, but it gives me some hope for the series 👀

Peak touhou was more than a decade ago. They should all be 30+somethings by now at least

[dusty fable]

you don't tell me. I started from Touhou 6, which is long ago. But I kinda thought most Touhou stuff outside of rhythm games happened like 15-10 years ago. My YT was kinda quite lately about Touhou

hmm, maybe it moved to TikTok

[topaz linden]

I blame MTB releasing Japanese Goblin two years ago

[edgy bone]

tohou on tiktok sounds like an extremely cursed concept

[topaz linden]

https://youtu.be/UIp6_0kct_U

[dusty fable]

to me, TikTok is a cursed concept, so Touhou doesn't do much

[edgy bone]

indeed

[frank musk]

makes misinformation on fb look like child's play

Also yurucamp being that far left is hilarious

[dusty fable]

ah, I see. Well, good to hear that IP is still alive and kicking, but I was hoping that maybe something interesting happened in gaming department which I missed. Alas

[topaz linden]

They did collab with Toby Fox for the rhythm game that launched a week or two ago

Was pretty hype

[dusty fable]

I am still surprised that Touhou audience is so young. What happened to all the old farts who were a Touhou fanbase all those years ago? It was pretty big back then, especially in terms of fanfics and music circles. And I don't think there appeared any IP to move on from Touhou since then, or I haven't seen one

Touhou is very unique IP

[topaz linden]

Context is kinda amazing lol
TL;DR:

• Zun and the studio start working on a full proper game to replace a gacha mobile rhythm game that shut down the previous year
• Studio decides Toby Fox would make a nice DLC artist
• Toby Fox loves Touhou, says "hell yeah", signs on
• Few weeks in, he tells em "Hey... so I'm struggling a bit with making my stuff fit with the Touhou vibe. Is there anyone you can send over to help me out?"
• Studio: "sure, we might know a guy"
• Studio: "So, uh... here they are. You know ZUN, right?"
• Toby Fox: *fanboy scream*

Ultimately, they agreed to do a mashup of one song from both of them: Toby remixing the Touhou parts, ZUN remixing the Undertale parts.

Came out really nice imo

https://youtu.be/Ko3Xg_sKq0w

[edgy bone]

is the size of the bubble supposed to represent how popular it is

[dusty fable]

Toby Fox is the guy behind Undertale, right?

[topaz linden]

Ye

[dusty fable]

ye

[edgy bone]

i love how it's just

one piece demon slayer

then everything else that was mainstream in the past year (or less)

you can see the recency bias

[topaz linden]

Recency bias is incredibly strong lol

[dusty fable]

well, it doesn't show much, obviously ppl would vote recent ones and One Piece. Kimetsu no Yaiba is confusing to me though

[topaz linden]

Would love to see the results if they could only pick stuff older than a year or two

[edgy bone]

it's just

a good mix of stereotypical stuff japan loves

[topaz linden]

Ngl, biggest surprise for me was Yurucamp being so far to the left

[edgy bone]

is it?

it feels p normal to me

[topaz linden]

2nd most after Yugioh

[edgy bone]

most of the stuff on the left has cute girls

most of the stuff on the right has hot guys

[frank musk]

Now it makes sense why gintama is on the right

[topaz linden]

Ye, but Yurucamp just kinda feels more gender neutral in intended audience. Not surprised it's male leaning, but to that extent...

[dusty fable]

Yurucamp is one of the few IPs I don't know. Is it something like Idolmaster?

[edgy bone]

lmao

[dusty fable]

I can post it again

[ionic schooner]

DW about it

[dusty fable]

stupid automod automodded the word "KM s" a-la kilometers, which besides key management system doesn't seem to be something worthy of automodding?

[ionic schooner]

[dusty fable]

well, anyway, to all fans of running, don't push yourself too much, knee damage is hard to rehabilitate, took me almost a year to completely heal

[mighty cape]

anybody watched dungeon meshi or that using healing magic wrong anime?

[topaz linden]

The abbreviation has another use besides key management system, and that other use is very much worth automodding

[mighty cape]

Just search your most recent mentions

[ionic schooner]

No it goes away when it's deleted

[mighty cape]

When did you first notice it?

Might’ve been Jake if you were t logged in since yesterday

It was NoTimeLime

I saw it on my phone notifs

[mighty cape]

Then yeah. The coward deleted it.

/jk

[ionic schooner]

They just got automodded😭

[next crescent]

^

But yeah, the reason it got automodded might seem stupid on the surface because you were using it innocently, but there's a less innocent use for it that's very common online as an expression of dissatisfaction/frustration/depression

[topaz linden]

https://tenor.com/view/obi-wan-perhaps-the-archives-are-incomplete-impossible-star-wars-gif-14446376

[next crescent]

There's another variant that's directed towards others that's used as an expression of frustration/anger that's also automodded when used

[ionic schooner]

I know that one

😭

[tidal shore]

unfortunately this is the problem with straight up banning specific words, context doesn't matter ur gonna get booted no matter what 😭

since I'm here, anyone willing to explain why they liked Frieren? I tried getting into it but couldn't, so at least I want to understand what people see in it

[topaz linden]

The alternative is having mods personally overseeing the messages of all 230,000 users tho, so a bot that deletes messages with known sus words but doesnt ban is a decent compromise imo

[tidal shore]

realistically speaking there would be at most 200 to 300 users active at any moment in such a server

well even then, I do get it

[topaz linden]

Vibes - It's got a nice vibe that finds a unique balance between being episodic and having an overarching plot.
Aesthetic - The art style, the music, and the character designs are all very nice.
Feels - There's a lot of moving moments in the show despite its slow nature. It does a good job of using the passage of time and its character's relationship with it to draw out some powerful moments.
Quality - The animation quality of it is superb, and not just in the big fights. Even little moments have a ton of attention and detail put into them.

It's also a nice break from your usual fantasy/isekai fantasy tropes with how it handles a lot of plot points.

[tidal shore]

I'd contest the last one
I'm gonna assume you described what you personally experienced, thanks for the reply!

[topaz linden]

I mean, it subverts quite a lot of the usual tropes. That's not really that contestable since even the premise itself (taking place after the big bad is dead) is a subversion

[tidal shore]

it would be to me if I hadn't read like 50 manga with that plot point
and then traveling the world and doing random quests

I do agree that it takes a unique approach in terms of story, being about passage of time and growing as a person, from the pov of Frieren, and seeing her become less detached over time

I think the "seeing Frieren grow" part is really touching, just too slow to get me invested tbh

or maybe it's not too slow (to me), maybe it's not emotional enough (for me), but I digress

[topaz linden]

It does a really good job at capturing "happy-sad" in a way I havent seen many series do 👀 (like, grief and loss being paired simultaneously alongside hope and joy)
And happy-sad is cathartic af when done well

[tidal shore]

happy-sad huh

[topaz linden]

Reminds me a lot of Porter Robinson's kinda vibe with his music

[tidal shore]

walking around the post-apo world also does that, say Girls' Last Tour

[topaz linden]

unironically I saw a plot like this in an anime once....

[topaz linden]

Also, once Frieren's all wrapped up, I can't wait to see the action AMV put people put it to good use. Some pretty damn hype bits of animation they can use 👀

This one popped up in my feed a week or two ago
https://youtu.be/ls_iea3Y_cU?si=RJvux7CCQJbAjwv6

[tidal shore]

good action animation 🤤

[topaz linden]

You gotta love it

[next crescent]

they also have really good jacket animation

for some reason

also hot damn that amv

the music is just so good

i need the whole frieren ost honestly

[topaz linden]

I take pride in curating only the most banger of AMVs 😤

Got like... 5 damn playlists dedicated to em on my YT This one being the "main" one

[tidal shore]

337 videos wtf

[topaz linden]

is good inspiration material for my own edits

not that I can get anywhere close to what some of those mfers can pull off

[next crescent]

jake's amv playlist is a feast for the eyes

[ionic schooner]

The hair animation

When the Freiren becomes lowtiergod

The demon persons tears mix with her blood and her hair is cut before her head

It's so much detail

[next crescent]

yesssss

that was so good

her just floating with her hair flowing

[tidal shore]

calling myself "mix" has broken me, everytime someone says "mix" brain stops

me thinks hair should be pretty easy to animate and make look good, true or nah?

[dusty fable]

wiki search didn't show me anything of particular interest, except for couple of diseases and I didn't bother to dig further. I don't think mentioning a half-obscure disease is really insulting, but whatever.

[next crescent]

shit hard as hell to animate well

[topaz linden]

...dude, im not sure if you're trolling, but it's literally the first google result

[next crescent]

depending on the actual hair style

[tidal shore]

you kno that abbreviation of km per second also can mean stuff like [breathe my last breath] myself stuff

[tidal shore]

maybe, I just think flowy things are easy to make look good

[dusty fable]

google is known for adapting search results. My first page is mainly AWS and otherwise IT related

[tidal shore]

we like flowy things

[topaz linden]

Urban dictionary and dictionary.com both have it as the first result

[tidal shore]

actually i should try before saying, got opentoonz and im getting more familiar with drawing faces as time goes on

[topaz linden]

Not sure where tf youre looking lol

[dusty fable]

okay, whatever. I don't really see why this should be a banned word, if some person needs help

[next crescent]

tbf, searching up just the three letters gave me a hair salon as the first result

[topaz linden]

If that person needs help, there's hotlines with trained professionals for dealing with that. That's not something appropriate for the server

[next crescent]

also some schools, and the key management thing he mentioned

[topaz linden]

I'm once again reminded of the forbidden meme from the server dark times

[tidal shore]

i mean its pretty obv cuz li9ke u dont want ppl to engage in self harm talk

[next crescent]

ye

[tidal shore]

all these restrictions do restrict humour potential though, but if u want unrestricted speech then big servers aren't good for this since they're more heavily moderated in that aspect

[next crescent]

which we should probably stop

before it gets a little too over the line for server rules

[dusty fable]

I don't really want to search deeply. If google and wiki don't show me something of concern, I don't intend to look further for obscure meanings. Last time I did that with FGM (don't look it up, I thought it was harmless because it was featured in a headline of a top news agency). So I don't fancy searching abbreviation meanings for too long, lmao

[next crescent]

to be fair, it's not really "obscure" in internet culture, it's been something relatively commonly said for decades online

just like lolcats

or rage comics

but like they said, it's a topic in the server that isn't really allowed

rip any innocent uses of the acronym, like for key management services or kilometers per second, but them's the rules unfortunately

[shadow knot]

did you include the slash when you wrote kilometer per second

as in km / s

[topaz linden]

This server follows the imperial system like true redblooded Americans 😤

[next crescent]

🦅

[shadow knot]

I only use imperial for height and weight

fitness culture

[tidal shore]

and the imperial system follows the metric system which is doubly ironic

[next crescent]

canadian?

[shadow knot]

weightlifitng* culture
because "fuck cardio"

[next crescent]

it does?

[tidal shore]

imperial system is based on metric

[next crescent]

iirc imperial is made to refer to real life usage of stuff while metric is using simple mathematics to measure stuff

which is why an acre is as big as it is

and such

[tidal shore]

but ur right, originally it was not meant to be

[topaz linden]

Kinda.
TL;DR iirc: It was vague stuff at first, but when it came time to do super fine science, they set fixed units based on a ratio to metric numbers

[tidal shore]

technically came from the british who opposed the french...

it's always with the french....

[topaz linden]

Because metric is scientifically fixed

[next crescent]

ah okay

[next crescent]

damn it, it's always the british

[tidal shore]

also we call metric scientific, but rly it was reverse engineered to be scientific

[next crescent]

i call it math because everything is either 0 or 1

[tidal shore]

doesnt change that i like metric more

[topaz linden]

It was scientific by that time's standards lol

[dusty fable]

I am of a slightly different opinion. If people feel that their favorite discord server is a better place to open up about something that troubles them than calling a hotline, then probably they have reasons for that. So I do think that people should engage in such talks instead of avoiding them. But I don't mind the other way around, not my server, not my rules

[tidal shore]

well, wasn't a meter based on something like the arbitrary division of distance from one point of France to another point of France?

[next crescent]

the other side to that coin is the onlookers who it could affect in return, which is why it is banned in the server

not saying avoiding those talks is the answer, but there may be other discords that allow it that could be safe spaces

or a server with a venting channel

and not a genshin community server

[dusty fable]

it only affects onlookers, because the problem is not really adressed on a proper scale

[next crescent]

plus, any advice given by strangers online could also be harmful to the person opening up, or some people who'd be volatile in response to it- causing even more harm

[tidal shore]

honestly I don't see big spaces as "good enough" to open up, discord may seem like a save space but you don't actively think at any time that thousands of people could be looking at you being vulnerable
small spaces are Imo better, although more prone to exploitation

[topaz linden]

First it was a fixed percent of the distance from the equator to the magnetic north pole. Then it became "this specific metal stick we keep locked in a vault".
Which still isnt very scientific, but compared to things like "it's X paces away" it is

[next crescent]

imagine opening up wounds and hoping for people to give you advice or sympathy, only for someone to come barging in and using that to make you feel worse and causing you to close yourself off

there's multiple reasons why it's banned, and nothing black and white

[tidal shore]

true

[dusty fable]

there is plenty of niche discussions going on in big spaces. And while it is not a good place, I think it is better, than if person doesn't look for help at all

[tidal shore]

and then the kilogram hasn't been redefined until like 2017 or something?

oh it was in 2019

[next crescent]

the kilogram was redefined?

[tidal shore]

yeah

[next crescent]

also why are volumes like the gallon different between a "gallon" and a "US gallon"

i tried reading up on it before but it confused me 😭

[topaz linden]

We came up with a more precise way of measuring weight, so we defined it based on that instead

[next crescent]

ah okay

[topaz linden]

The units of measurement are based on really wack stuff tbh

[tidal shore]

this is so convoluted tbh

[next crescent]

okay so now that kilograms have been "redefined", does that change everything everyone knows about their weight lol

[dusty fable]

I'll just wait until maths get rid of time in physics. Might take a while

[tidal shore]

a second is something like frequency of atoms somthing something 😭

what the heck 😭

[topaz linden]

Nah, it just means we can more precisely tune our measurement instruments/reliably get the same number

[next crescent]

ah

[topaz linden]

If you remember significant figures in high school, we basically just added another 0 (or 10) after the decimal

[next crescent]

😭

[topaz linden]

The number doesnt change, but we can more accurately measure it

[next crescent]

okay

[topaz linden]

(Well, it might change microscopically to round to the nearest fixed increment)

[next crescent]

and this is why i like imperial

[tidal shore]

but its still based on metric

[next crescent]

don't care

i was raised on imperial

[tidal shore]

copium

[next crescent]

and i can do it brainlessly

[tidal shore]

fair

[next crescent]

all i need to know about metric is 50F = 10C and 32F = 0C

[topaz linden]

It's based on the might of Impire

[tidal shore]

...

[dusty fable]

poor kids, traumathized from a young age

[next crescent]

[tidal shore]

no that would be indoctrination

[next crescent]

[topaz linden]

Ngl, I tried to get used to weather in metric, but imperial temperature just makes it so much easier to be precise in how the day is going to feel.

70f vs 80f is a big change, but it's just a 5ish degree difference in Celsius

• the size gap between meters and centimeters
  Having a unit between the two sizes is nice

[next crescent]

yeah

exactly

it's nice having inches and feet

looking at 10F and 15F doesn't sound like a lot

but it goes from jacket weather to shorts

[tidal shore]

the "imperial makes temperature so much more precise" is a copium cuz you really won't feel a difference unless temperature changes by like 3-5 degrees C

[dusty fable]

Americans with their excuses, when the most of civilized world uses SI

[topaz linden]

Meters are good for big things (buildings, vehicles), centimeters are good for small things (books, monitors). Feet is good for medium sized things (furniture for example)

We have yards and inches for the other two 👀

[tidal shore]

a good question to ask though, does the measurement system differentiate the civilised from the uncivilised, or do the civilised decide which system is best, thus making that system also viable 🤔

[next crescent]

wouldn't uncivilized use neither imperial or metric?

[dusty fable]

yes, measuring stuff in fingers and feet is a caveman mode

[next crescent]

where'd fingers come from

[topaz linden]

At least we still can measure things when we dont have a measuring tool on hand

[tidal shore]

is there such a thing as uncivilised in the human culture? or what we perceive as (what we used to call barbarians as derogatory were actually very smart)

[tidal shore]

OI!

[next crescent]

this is literally what i do

i know how long a foot is on my arm

[topaz linden]

Iirc, a thumb's width is a decent approximate of an inch

[next crescent]

i can measure using my arm

[topaz linden]

Tho I usually use a dollar, since it's exactly 6 inches

[next crescent]

mine isn't because of how small my hands are

but the second knuckle of my pointer finger is

the distance from second and third

[topaz linden]

Skill issue

[tidal shore]

i mean that's true even for metric, not having distances defined as thumb or feet doesn't disqualify you from using them in times of need 🤔

[next crescent]

!!kc

[next crescent]

but how many centimeters is a foot?

[tidal shore]

see but that's what makes this unreliable

[next crescent]

or an arm?

[tidal shore]

imagine some bloke is selling stuff and he uses his giga chad 52 size (european) feet, while you have to pay in beta 32 size (european) feet

to measure stuff

[topaz linden]

If its enough feet to make a notable difference in approximating, we'd be using yards 👀

[tidal shore]

or what if you could hire someone with even bigger chadder feet to measure the distance you need and pay that way 🤔

and thus reducing the price per foot 🤔

[tidal shore]

what is yard defined as?

[tidal shore]

something like 30.48 i think

[topaz linden]

3 feet 👀

[dusty fable]

it is defined by a yard stick. And since each farm had their own yard stick, people killed for that stuff before proper systems were introduced. Oh, medieval England

[tidal shore]

what, so you then make a yard stick from your feet? but then your yard stick is shorter than that other guy's yard stick

[topaz linden]

But again, you're not really using body part approximation for anything more than a few lol. Past that you'd get a fixed measurement tool

It's more just the ease of eyeballing measurements in your immediate person

[tidal shore]

hmhm

very interesting

but if people did use their limbs, I do find it funny thinking how "oh noo I don't have enough to trade with, I need to increase the size of my feet HAMMER SMASH"

[next crescent]

ew, who uses their actual feet to measure a foot? 😭

[dusty fable]

yes, and then you fight with your neighbour about how to divide that grove near the pond equally, and then goes the killing

[tidal shore]

if ur not a feet person then you could use your elbows, greeks did it

[next crescent]

no, i meant a foot foot

the one on your ankle

[tidal shore]

[topaz linden]

[tidal shore]

[next crescent]

LMAO

[next crescent]

!!kc

[dusty fable]

isn't it gigantic for a girl?

[next crescent]

no

not really

mine is like the most average average size foot for girls here

[tidal shore]

it's actually pretty small
though I'd expect a girl to be like size 36 or something...

[next crescent]

for us

[tidal shore]

in the united states

[next crescent]

according to eu, 39 is both 8 and 8.5

[tidal shore]

US obesity rate is 40%
this heightens the average foot size

[next crescent]

huh?

[tidal shore]

all that excess flesh ain't going to squeeze into the shoe hole

[next crescent]

oh

oh

[tidal shore]

its just assumption though

[dusty fable]

americans need to claim more land with each step, obviously

[next crescent]

shoes also come in wide

[long peak]

Why are we talking about feet

Kc what did you do now

[next crescent]

because imperial system

[tidal shore]

ok so it started with the french

[long peak]

Oh, you mean the correct system

[tidal shore]

another one bites the dust...

[dusty fable]

we are realizing the deepest caveman fantazies

[long peak]

🦅🇺🇸🍔

[tidal shore]

caveman mentioned

(im polish i can make that joke)

Japan winning again

[dusty fable]

if japanese had bigger feet, their whole land would be covered with footprints by now

[tidal shore]

thank you google very cool

[next crescent]

not surprised

[dusty fable]

read it again

[tidal shore]

oh man this went very off topic quick post fumos and talk about anime

https://tenor.com/view/suwako-post-this-frog-touhou-fumo-touhou-fumo-gif-26420843

[dusty fable]

we are discussing japanese feet. Pretty anime, if you ask me

[mighty cape]

https://tenor.com/view/fumo-fumo-meme-fumo-dance-touhou-touhou-meme-gif-25935984

[next crescent]

oh yeah, it's the anime channel

anyway, frieren animation is really good

[tidal shore]

ok lets say hypothetically i had a link to a website which collected every single still frame of Holo from Spice & Wolf with feets in picture, would I be able to share it here?

[dusty fable]

https://youtu.be/aalpzhIkmnA?si=7lFvdJj3Jk19m9j_ posting this frog

[tidal shore]

can't tell why but SoL anime tend to have the best animated action sequences it's kinda crazy

Dragon Maid did it too

[next crescent]

yeeee

[dusty fable]

is this eminence in shadow? (/j)

yes, it's atomic

ATOMIC

[dusty fable]

Touhou 11 is my favorite BTW

[tidal shore]

cool

i've tried 5 and 6 but couldn't get past stage 2 so /shrug

gave up after 10 minutes each time

gonna finish it one day probably

but man playing on anything less than Lunatic does bother me

[dusty fable]

Hmm, don't remember the 5th, but Touhou 6 is considered one of the hardest, so nothing wrong with not finishing it I finished Touhou 8-14 on hard, but can't finish Touhou 6 on normal, so yeah

[tidal shore]

touhou 6 being the hardest was actually the main motivator for me to try

also isn't touhou 11 like one of the easiest?

[dusty fable]

no. 13-14 are the easiest. Then 10, then 11, then 7-8

[tidal shore]

so it goes in reverse huh

[topaz linden]

Personally just excited to see minusT's next animation. Should be pretty soon

[tidal shore]

who what

[topaz linden]

really good Touhou animator

[tidal shore]

ohh

[topaz linden]

like, beyond S-tier level

[tidal shore]

will have to check them out

[topaz linden]

He's doing a series of fight animations based loosely on Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

Part 0 serves as both an intro, and a "trailer" for the fights to come he's working on
https://youtu.be/xRSlq42_sUE

"Part 1" being a 7 minute long Reimu v Marisa fight

https://youtu.be/430ejbSn-5k

[tidal shore]

bringing 2d to 3d

can't imagine it being easy

[topaz linden]

it legit is the best attempt I've seen at 3d bullet hell

[dusty fable]

the best touhou animation is this https://youtu.be/BTe1JMTlwwc?si=iIDDZONU1Wx4UXkK

[tidal shore]

hold on a sec

no wayyyy

[topaz linden]

The Okuu one is also already out as a standalone thing

[dusty fable]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovQKvaKILmc and from this I learned about the existence of Macross

[topaz linden]

This is the one he's making coming Soon™️

https://youtu.be/DAYtwNxh97I

I'm hyped for it

[tidal shore]

oh hey I alrdy peeped that one

[dusty fable]

3d definitely made it easier to animate spellcards

looking good actually

[topaz linden]

They do a really good job of conveying the chaotic density of it while still being able to tell what's going on

https://tenor.com/view/utsuho-danmaku-minust-touhou-power-gif-16744261

[dusty fable]

timestopping teaser in this is pretty enjoyable

[tidal shore]

man I'm completely mesmerised by this

[topaz linden]

it's so good

[tidal shore]

:HuTaoPepeHands:

HUH 😭

[topaz linden]

[tidal shore]

I'm adding you to the nono list

[topaz linden]

Speaking of which, there's a fan edit of part 1 out there that adds the Spell card SFX
https://youtu.be/8qtErOk7oCw

[tidal shore]

I wonder if Optie Animations did something like that how it would look

very much like their Armageddon and Lyrith videos

[topaz linden]

the Armageddon video is something else man

[tidal shore]

well, it's all cool visuals and it's kinda accurate which I like
but Lyrith did seem way more complex

this sorta cartoon cutout style

[topaz linden]

yee, every Touhou art piece goes hard in its own way lol

They're all insane

like, I found a cutesy music video for one of Shinra-Bansho's new songs...
Cute song about Remilia being tsundere about wanting some company. Simple stuff

Nah, they found a way to make even that over the top

https://youtu.be/AYpVrYFg5uo

Turn on subtitles

[tidal shore]

lyrith music video was about a girl desperately needing to go to the toilet

[dusty fable]

well, it definitely went far from this. Though I like this sort of simplistic way of storytelling https://youtu.be/oMPQWjb0rZo?si=mvZNzV-gGihQJ72u

[tidal shore]

yoo that's actually rly clever

[tidal shore]

yeah i rly like storytelling in music videos

this specific look is actually pretty common in some rhythm games as storyboards 🤔

ok maybe not that common, kind of a lost art now that i think about it

[topaz linden]

No matter what it is, the Touhou community will find a way to be extra af in doing it

[tidal shore]

truew as long as it's not the official touhou anime

[dusty fable]

Touhou community is probably the most wholesome and productive that I have seen. I've never seen any kind of fanbase wars in Touhou community too People generally welcome anyone, whether they play original Touhou games, Touhou fighting games, rhythm games or just an artist or musician or anyone else with hundreds of applications of Touhou

A lot of it thanks to ZUN (OG author) too, since he never restricted any sort of use of his assets

[tidal shore]

yeah he did what nintendont

i just realised the official touhou anime ova will never be seen again and it made me a little sad

[dusty fable]

anyway, if anyone wants to try OG Touhou games, I would suggest Touhou 13, since it has the perfect balance of gameplay/difficulty, the spellcards are very variative, music is good as usual and mechanics are not too complicated like in other games of the series.

[tidal shore]

thanks i may test that one day

[topaz linden]

Personally, I'm solidly in the "love touhou, refuse to play the games" camp

[tidal shore]

inhale

SKILL ISSUE

revenge taste so sweet 😋

[dusty fable]

games are fun, if you find out how to play. It's like darksouls, it can be obnoxious until you learn what devs expect of you

[topaz linden]

that doesn't sell me at all as someone that dropped dark souls/elden ring for being exactly that type of game

[tidal shore]

did you try Sekiro?

[topaz linden]

I have it, have not tried yet tho

[tidal shore]

look, I couldn't get into souls likes and all, but Sekiro is the only good FromSoft game that got me to replay it several times and then speedrun it it's like the best action game ever literally SS tier nothing comes close

im biased but it's top 3

for me

[dusty fable]

I would say you miss out on certain type of gaming experience, but I don't really sell anything.

[dusty fable]

Sekiro is also probably their toughest game (not sure about their old Armored Core games, I have heard they are very tough)

[tidal shore]

it's the toughest because Dark Souls players aren't used to being actually able to... you know... fight back?

it's a fast paced game that rewards aggression

Dark Souls is the opposite, it rewards patience and beta male behaviour

once beta mfs enter the giga chad aggressive Sekiro ofc they will piss their pants

hmpf

hmpf hmpf hmpf

hmpfhmpfhmpfhmpfhmpfhmpf

iw ill never forgive dark souls players

[dusty fable]

I really hope you play PGR

[tidal shore]

hmmm yes PGR

if it's a gacha game i will send oyu to brasil

[dusty fable]

Punishing Gray Raven. Sadge. I would say its golden days are over. It is still very good in terms of boss fights, but no more genius

[tidal shore]

okk gulag time

[topaz linden]

All I know about PGR is the great soundtrack

because I saw a cool AMV made from one of the tracks. I have an AMV addiction

[dusty fable]

I would say this is one of the most iconic boss fights in the game

https://youtu.be/3mIdVm7Cp4o?si=iHct4VKRL2r9LrTM

[tidal shore]

guess you can speak with Jake in AMV speech now huh

[tidal shore]

nice and punchy i like it but it seems to lack the interaction depth that the likes of Sekiro have

well, it's a different kind of game so it's unfair to compare

nvm

[dusty fable]

there are more interactive bosses and characters out there. It's just the most crisp fight in the game IMO
