・anime

[limber seal]

its all about costs and profit that simple...
some can do more with less and some do less even with more found and support

plus a lot of anime are just adverts for written material....
so if after anime increases their OG sales.. they dont redo anime until the manga/novel sales drop down

very paradoxical right?

[tidal shore]

it's about clients too

if there are no clients to fund it then poof gone reduced to ashes

[limber seal]

yes that what is tarted with...
costs and profit

There is a different cut from manga to anime production and profits

the owner for base source sell right to anime....
but only a certain amount of material...
anime is made
there is a period of waiting and see what is what
if profit from anime creation doesn't go to OG base source more than what was calcualtae before hand
they dont give rigth for next sesons
even if the anime "supposedly" was liked by many.. for one reason or another the OG creator dint get its intended share so they dont sale right to same studio or in general for anime

i said genshin cuz is the most blatant example... but yes there are older examples
also u should enable ping users u reply to or they cant see it, i just scrolled above by chance and see it lol
but also no, and no its not about the production cost but skill in general
schedule1 game was made with literally nothing.. its an issue of style and skill to incorporate properly 3d into 2d

[hot notch]

Again comparing games to anime is like comparing apples to oranges

Two completely different production frameworks

trying to compare schedule one to cgi in anime is ignorant at best

[rancid ledge]

this tbh^

i remember danganronpa being compares as a game and a anime

then theres persona

[hot notch]

Yeah you can't compare two different mediums directly

It doesn't work

Especially interactive and non-interactive media

[rancid ledge]

thats also like comparing waffles and pancakes

or transformers and gundam

[hot notch]

I mean transformers and gundam at least can work because they're both anime

Completely different genres but both still the same medium

Trying to compare a game to anime is asinine

[rancid ledge]

nah, its crazy ass work

[limber seal]

...

u both crazy go visit a docotor

its like watching borked telephone game..

was fun to see u go agasint eachother on the issue "Gundam vs trasnformers"

I genuinely don't know if you're just rage baiting at this point, actually can't comprehend what we're saying, or are choosing to be ignorant.

You do this frequently where you come in with a take that a lot of people here would disagree with and then act like we're insane or stupid for not agreeing with you

[ionic schooner]

I LIKED IT

[dusty fable]

rip

[dusty fable]

well, it's ok

[dusty fable]

tbh, you got worked up over nothing. You explained nothing of your position, except saying that production pipelines are completely different. Could have expanded by saying that game development revolves around a single game engine, while anime can't take that approach, even if it would have been very beneficial if it was possible

the closest it got to animation engine was what Pixar had

but anime has a multitude of very unique artstyles, so it is very hard to make a flexible engine that would be able to adapt all these artstyles

[hot notch]

That's fair. I definitely did get a bit worked but it does annoy me that they are constantly in here acting like any opinion that isn't theirs is wrong. If they were at least acknowledging that other views exist it wouldn't be that bad but their default response to resistance seems to be to insult the other party. I'm also guilty of that here so I will own up to that.

Aside from the whole production style and pipeline the one of the biggest differences between making a 3d game like Genshin and using CGI in an anime is firstly the difference in types of media. There is an inherent fallacy of comparing interactive and non-interactive media. Ignoring that though creating a reusable set animations for a player to use in a game is also very different than trying to integrate CGI into a 2d environment. The game is inherently all 3d so it will all look more cohesive if everything looks the same. To bring up what Lime said about the whole engine aspect of it, the game will render the same because it all goes through the same engine. They also claim that it's an issue of style and skill that they can't make CGI look good in anime but I'd have to dispute that as well. The most common use case CGI has in anime right now is to cut costs. The industry has the talent and skill to make CGI look good (e.g. the HI3rd animations, anything by Orange, Girls Band Cry, Ufotable) but it's not cost effective to do so if the main goal is to save time and money.

For the studios that take to time to incorporate CGI properly it looks really good for the most part. It's just an unfortunate fact that most of the industry uses it as a tool to cut costs.

for ppl who missed this or dint get it...
the VA Pronounced:
Klaudia -> Kraudia
Ryza -> Lyza

[hot notch]

If it's in Japanese they don't have a character for the L sound so it's often just replaced by the R sound since it's the closest they have phonetically. Take my name for example. Liger (pronounced the same as Tiger but with an L instead of a T) is most commonly translated as ライガー and pronounced as Raigā.

[tidal shore]

heard stuff about gachiakuta being good

but it's literally the most shounen anime ever with 0 room for interpretation, everything is screamed into your face in it

cool art tho

[limber seal]

well its an anime... and evrything is peak beside the actual plot.. witch is just average shouned btw.. not even close to mid or bad

[limber seal]

i get that.. part we had this discussion before... but have u read what i posted or not?
there is certain.. coherence to be followed

[limber seal]

also... well they live in an actual dystopian world on the brink of collapse basically
the premise is top.. its just well the anime is -> a Shonen -> gotta build with usual bricks and mortar to reach the cool stuff.. and its all there when need to deliver most of times cool powers and so on

[dusty fable]

Pretty much my own conclusion. Dropped at ep. 3 Unfortunate, since it had potential to be unique

[tidal shore]

whoa incredible

rare Lime agreed on something with me

[dusty fable]

I used to hate pantyshots in every anime, but this time I thought "what a missed opportunity". I can't even remember the last time I've seen a pantyshot in anime. Hmm, actually I just remembered Dress Up Darling, but besides it it was around a year ago in a horror Mieruko

Or this one. Like why the hell would you do a close up shot without a pantyshot

[tidal shore]

try watching ecchi comedy then you will get them

[dusty fable]

well, that's the point, I am not interested in ecchi 😅 Just find that anime is getting really low on fanservice

[tidal shore]

but is it though

oh it is

[dusty fable]

pantyshot per anime statistic would be even more gruesome. I swear it was every second anime in 00s

[tidal shore]

ok but

there's 1 year where 1 show lifted it up the average so much because it was a statistical anomaly

it was about flying panties btw

https://www.vxreddit.com/r/anime/comments/ruaiy2/just_some_migrating_pantsu_sora_no_otoshimono/

[dusty fable]

I don't even know what you are talking about

[tidal shore]

the only reason I remember it is because

I couldn't believe it when I saw it

so I had to look it up

(the real reason being I was a healthy teenager)

(that said panties never aroused me so Idk what Japan sees in this)

JFC F-15 jet panties I can't

[dusty fable]

this is why Japan is the land of artists and Poland is not. It's the art of imagination

[tidal shore]

true

side note

I just arrested Klaasje

even tho Moralintern is so evil

actually know what

I'm going back on this decision

getting to fuck over Moralintern seems like a better decision

[dusty fable]

at this point I can't help but ask what's your opinion on Dolores Dei?

[tidal shore]

war criminal

jk I don't have an opinion

I forgot most of the lore regarding her

[dusty fable]

it just means you didn't dig enough. It's pretty controversial, you wouldn't forget

[tidal shore]

I honestly couldn't care in each of the playthroughs I've done

[dusty fable]

you should have. She is the basis of all Disco Elysium. She lay foundation to Moralintern, as well as modern civilization in Insulindian Peninsula. She is also the counterpart to Harry du Bois

[tidal shore]

it's at the altar when we learn most of it, no?

Encyclopedia is a yapper so I habitually skip most of it

[dusty fable]

not quite. A lot of it is Encyclopedia. Also Dicemaker and the church if I remember correctly. Also there are some parts connected to Harry's memories about his wife

[tidal shore]

dicemaker

I can't revisit the altar's dialogue tho

[tidal shore]

how he deifies her in a way

[dusty fable]

I have a suspision Joyce Messier wanted to be a modern Dolores Dei, can't remember if she alluded to her in the dialogues. But Joyce definitely did a ton of Pale research

[tidal shore]

doubt it

well, if I'm missing crucial context then that's too bad

oh did I mention?

this game makes me feel incredibly exhausted after just 2-3 hours of playing

hold on a sec

@dusty fable this would suggest the religion influenced the culture, including the political ideology 🤨
was Dolores Dei a religious figure in the first place? she is depicted as one
this would reflect the real life to some extent too

[dusty fable]

well, maybe you shouldn't expend you energy on hating moralintern then

and Klassje

[tidal shore]

I don't rly tho

it may seem like I do but those are temporary passive checks, I don't hold these in

[limber seal]

hey i asked about it cuz u worked in combo with me hailing it to caveman..

[dusty fable]

I only recommend to watch things that I am completely sure are worth it. More than that, I usually tailor my suggestions according to person's taste (if their taste is known to me), so even if I am flippant about something I suggested, it doesn't mean that I haven't considered it seriously

Which means that Ergo Proxy is what Caveman generally likes. But, it's an anime that is not a casual watch, so it takes some effort to appreciate it like getting into a proper mode of thought

Personally, I don't see a point in pestering him about it, because as I said this is not an anime you can just watch whenever

[limber seal]

eh.. i guess..

[rancid ledge]

or make a anime list that makes you feel happy

dont worry about peoples preferences

[limber seal]

but this wasnt abotu me...

but also it dpends...

[limber seal]

i usually take more time in watching "easy going" anime then the "intensive" ones

cuz i get bored as fuck.. liek the atelier thing.. holy fuck like over dozen of times started never got past ep 1...

while the "Intensive" one usually have a dragging point and i just binge watch them at least half season in 1 sitting

[limber seal]

good memmo.. it started so good but then ... it lost me duno why

maybe my problem is that i watched them 1ep each week instead of usual approach of 3+ in one sitting..

[scenic crescent]

because its an anthology series

it leaves cliff hangers then you switch to another characters story

the cliff hangers will usually be explained like 6-7 episodes later

except for the first cliff hanger

i think

because thats the latest one in the timeline

[limber seal]

ye dumb shit like that...

its like those where the backstory of character of genshin before the viewer even got to genshin story...
only that qrhcon/story of quest actually stops mid story.. during the episdoe so u dont even get the final payoff

[scenic crescent]

is it really dumb

its called non linear story telling

where events inform each other and builds atop one another without regard for following chronologically

its used by Christopher Nolan alot

and Naoki Urasawa is famous for doing tht

its just a story telling technique

[limber seal]

there are thos who do it right. and those who do it wrong...and wtv in between...

[scenic crescent]

to be hero x does it right imo

everything builds up to the ruins incident episode

[topaz linden]

It's also more of a prequal for the upcoming S2 than a standalone story iirc. The director's said the 2nd season will be much more focused on the overarching story, while S1 was focused more on introducing the characters and their motivations to the audience

[limber seal]

it dint pass my litmus test. drope di aorund ep 6 or 7... so for me is a not so good

[scenic crescent]

that is literally 2 arcs \

[limber seal]

when was that electro dudes fight? what episode?

[scenic crescent]

yeah but season 1 had an overarching plot for half of it

[limber seal]

new chalenger ecltro speed vs old

[scenic crescent]

electro dude helps inform the story of linling

because he shot moon

and sets him up for future episodes

[topaz linden]

If you watched after Episode 7, you dropped it on the first episode of Lucky Cyan's arc

[scenic crescent]

i really like lucky cyan

my third favourite

too bad her 3d models chopped

😭

https://tenor.com/view/to-be-hero-x-tbhx-lucky-cyan-xìngyùn-qīng-tu-bian-yingxiong-x-gif-9958009909679440129

[topaz linden]

I like her character, but I do think her arc could have easily been a two episode one instead of a three parter tho

[limber seal]

oh interesting...
yueseen the lucky girl with plane and zombies fight later...

got a higher quality image? cant read ep number

[scenic crescent]

true

queen should've been a 3 episode arc instead of two

queens fight needed more build up

great fight though

https://tenor.com/view/queen-to-be-hero-x-queen-to-be-hero-x-awful-gif-absolute-cinema-gif-544423727445436904

my favourite characters are
ghost blade

[limber seal]

oh funny thing... techincaly that image is agasint the server rules

[scenic crescent]

louli

[limber seal]

imagine getting banned fo rshit like this... for a server

[scenic crescent]

and cyan

i didnt like the alien pet guy much

and i needed more linling content before i can judge

[topaz linden]

Not really a bannable offense tho, the message would just get deleted

[scenic crescent]

esouls arc confused the shit outa me tbh

[scenic crescent]

THATS HER NAME THOUGH

[limber seal]

oh yes i know.. but i mean imagine getting banen dforever fro that... ffs KQM mods are fuek dint he head..

[scenic crescent]

shes not even an actual one

loulis a teenager 😭

[topaz linden]

Dunno if discord compression will mess with this one, but should be slightly higher quality

[limber seal]

"rule is a rule"
i said that simply "well technically"
and from my POV is a udmb rule also

[limber seal]

wait so they are al forgoten? there is no return toa char in same season? once their arc is done?

[scenic crescent]

i love the gacha splash art thing they do

[scenic crescent]

no every single arc converges

[topaz linden]

No, they appear in other characters' arcs

[scenic crescent]

yeah

they appear in other characters arc

[topaz linden]

Increasingly more often as the series goes on

[limber seal]

oh ok..

i will start it again once find some time..

[scenic crescent]

by the 60% mark of the series its basically an anime with plot

louli--> two johnnies arc wasnt split up at all

dragon boy--> end of story X is one bigger arc also

[limber seal]

but srsly so much potential down the drain..
really wanted to see if they will deliver with that "social clout" as a way to give powers to their HEROES X and how many Real Life jabs will throw with that kind of story and "mechanics" -->> as a parallels to our society

[topaz linden]

Yee, though I'm conflicted about that cliffhanger of an ending lol

Reminds me of the most recent Spiderverse movie
"Great so far... can't really give my thoughts on the arcs tho since all of them pushed out their resolutions to the next act"

[scenic crescent]

its parralel to chinese society

😭

also they have a bunch of stuff about social clout specifically with Nice

[limber seal]

and how is that diferent from world/global social/media clout?

[scenic crescent]

i think of all characters, cyans character is basically finished

[topaz linden]

Oh yeah, Cyan's basically got nowhere to go development wise unless they ||have one of the other heroes kill that friend of hers|| lol

[scenic crescent]

mfw nice brutalises cyan in the first ep of season 2

shes pretty high in rankings rn tho

[limber seal]

do u mean that as of chinese "old" society traditions
or how now the media clout works in modern now china?

[scenic crescent]

dragon boys getting the boot ngl

[scenic crescent]

modern clout

[limber seal]

well that is jsut western import then

[scenic crescent]

this yalls goat

you cant go and complain that they dont touch on the social clout aspect when you dropped 7 episodes in ;sob

[limber seal]

did they do something new and better in later episodes besides the initial part with nice? and E soul?

[topaz linden]

Yes

[scenic crescent]

yes

we also the real nice

his death scene fries me everytime

[limber seal]

i mean on the "media clout" getting their hand dirty and so on..

[topaz linden]

Yes

[scenic crescent]

yes

[limber seal]

without actual spoiling btw ppl..

[scenic crescent]

no ones spoiling 💔

nice dies in minute one of the show

https://tenor.com/view/to-be-hero-x-nice-to-be-hero-x-nice-lin-ling-gif-9666086873145188391

[limber seal]

yes that what i liked the aniem at start that scene -> it meant/promised they will not use mitten gloves on critique of society

but spiked metal and maybe poisoned even lol

[scenic crescent]

to be hero x is the boys but anime and our mcs are heroes

i dont like esouls though

his arc is the weakest for me

first two episodes were great but three seats just left me confused

[limber seal]

it needed more background

[scenic crescent]

idk most of your complaints so far are complaining about a story telling technique ngl

[limber seal]

the idea was to fuck on society imho... just show a new hero and clear fake clout to fuck arroudn the old one ... why?? -> JUST CUZ!!!

[scenic crescent]

also did you watch the pv video for e soul 😭

[topaz linden]

TL;DR: Later arcs explore:

• The relationship between Trust and Fear (opposing forces in the TBHX world)
• Deliberate usage of Fear to manipulate Trust
• The social impacts of Trust on a hero
• How bottom-up/streetlevel heroes form in a world of big corps
• How Trust forced the X tournament and hero rankings to be set up the way they are
• Limitations and upper potential of Trust powers

[scenic crescent]

wait whos street level

i cant think of anyone

[topaz linden]

Ahu's story is a grassroots/street level origin story

No corps involved

[scenic crescent]

OH AHU

yeah

ahu

[topaz linden]

Oh yeah, also how the different hero corps are constantly trying to undermine each other

[limber seal]

have u tried to eat fish...ice cream?.. stake... ananas...sushi... chocolate pie.. pickles??? alone are ok
and that exact order in 1 sitting???.. yah nah...

[scenic crescent]

i love the politics

aspect

[scenic crescent]

this is complaining about a story telling technique atp

also whats wrong with an anthology

[topaz linden]

Blonde girl from Nice's corp the only senior executive that's not completely insane

[limber seal]

like i said one and twice already some do it good others dont..
did u understand the example with food???

[scenic crescent]

idk man maybe non linear story telling isnt for you

[limber seal]

are u actualy ok with eating al that food in 1 sitting little bits one after another?

[topaz linden]

No one says you have to binge it all in one sitting

[scenic crescent]

true

[topaz linden]

I for one only watched the show one arc at a time

[scenic crescent]

binge culture killing anime

[topaz linden]

I waited for each arc to finish, then watched those

[limber seal]

the aniem literaly is depended on you knwoing the bakground and timelines..

[topaz linden]

Not really...

[limber seal]

wdym binge is wrong?!?!?!

[scenic crescent]

IT IS WRONG

😭

animes, mangas arent meant to be binged

unless its chainsawman

i hate binge culture sm istg

[topaz linden]

Some stories are paced deliberately with the idea of having gaps for thinking/reflecting on the story in between

[limber seal]

doesnt each arc ends with a final ->* "hey hey hey YOU the viewer!! yes you did you notice the connection from this with that other story?? yes mr viewer its there!!"*

[scenic crescent]

no?

😭

no??

[topaz linden]

There's layers to it.
Connections for the fans that like to dive deep, but also repetition/rehashing for those who can't be bothered.

[scenic crescent]

when did that ever happen like actually

strawmanning atp

[topaz linden]

Honestly in the first two arcs, cant really say? There was a little bit of subtlety later on, but first two arcs were pretty blunt

[limber seal]

then why is when u open the reddit page of the sub to anime
half of comments are asking wait in what time lines is this and how that ties with that other arc
and other half is of ppl saying how excellent is that callout and this obscrue reference to that other thing...

[scenic crescent]

makes the world feels more alive yes

[topaz linden]

Because those are the people that enjoy researching those things

It's not a requirement

[scenic crescent]

true

the anime doesnt require you to have a background knowledge at all

just understand that this event takes place before this one or after

also you are on the subreddit

the place for die hard fans

[topaz linden]

Same way half of the Genshin Lore subreddit is people making irl lore/myth connections for Genshin's various quests/characters.

You don't need to understand ancient Mayan/Norse/Chinese mythology to get Genshin's story. Some people just like investigating and making connections.

[scenic crescent]

of course they care about that

[limber seal]

bs.... 90% of genshin threads is waifu glaze and question about how to play the team/char...

[scenic crescent]

r/genshin_lore

😭

and because genshin is game first

[limber seal]

ah well lore..

[scenic crescent]

theres no tbhx game

[frank musk]

i think ur referring to okbuddy subreddits and the general gacha subs

[topaz linden]

The main point was that you can have a bunch of people obsessing over/trying to go deeper into the story, but that doesn't mean the story requires that level of analysis to follow...

[frank musk]

its like how a video game adaptation does a small nod to a game mechanic as a reference, it wont impact as much the casual viewer's overall enjoyment of the show, but to longtime fans, its a cool little easter egg theyll appreciate very much

[topaz linden]

Yeah, adaptions do that all the time. Names/images/references from the source material will be scattered around as little treats for observant fans to spot and appreciate

Gravity Falls in particular did a great job of this. A ton of hidden clues scattered around that teased the story that eventually got told directly to the audience later in the series

(Well, that one's technically not an adaption, but same idea lol)

[limber seal]

wait is hero X and adaptation of something? or sequel or spinoff of some other previous universe?

[topaz linden]

Technically it's the third "To Be Hero" show they've done, but to quote the director:

TL;DR: They have shared themes, but no direct connection, and the shared name is mostly just to make use of existing public awareness of the To Be Hero brand.

You don't need to watch the other two.

[limber seal]

the previous was also kinda "superhero type"?
and also diferent timelines?

[topaz linden]

No shared timeline/world/characters, just similar superhero focus (though very different tone. Originals were more of a comedy type story iirc)

[dusty fable]

Odd Taxi is an example of good non-linear storytelling. TBHX is bad non-linear storytelling. Why? Because authors pick up and drop storylines in unappropriate moments, leaving viewer confused.

[scenic crescent]

you are supposed to be confused i think

[topaz linden]

Imo, S1 feels like supporting material vs a proper show. Like a collection of OVAs (despite the shared plots).

Going off of the director's commentary, at least S2 should be a more cohesive/traditional format

[scenic crescent]

and then you keep watching and get the answer

[topaz linden]

which is why I'm personally holding off on giving it a rating til S2 drops

[limber seal]

wait no, i mean if the previews season where also a type of anthology or non linear telling their own stories with diferent timelines

[scenic crescent]

what

to be heroine and to be hero are two completely different shows

[dusty fable]

well, yes. If you see the trick and don't see the point of it, it's twice unwelcome from viewers perspective.

[limber seal]

i dint ask that though...
also that author caled them seasons in that image

[dusty fable]

It's fine if you don't see the trick, this means this was done elegantly

It's also fine if you saw throug the trick, but you also see the intent behind it (you don't in TBHX)

[topaz linden]

Iirc, one of them was episodic (not a jumbled timeline, but each episode disconnected from each other, like a Saturday morning cartoon).

The other was an anthology iirc, though it's been a while

[scenic crescent]

trnaslation error

[limber seal]

ok i see...

[topaz linden]

Or just poor choice of wording. But yeah, the rest of the paragraph makes it clear they didnt mean literal seasons

Director pretty shamelessly went "yeah, we're totally just using name recognition here"

[scenic crescent]

is to be hero and to be heroine that popular?

i thought scissor seven and link clink are more popular

[topaz linden]

In the west, nah. Idk about in China tho

Link Click's their biggest one in the west for sure tho

[scenic crescent]

link clink and scissor seven imo

[topaz linden]

Never heard of the scissor one personally, but I see Link Click merch everywhere here in the US

[scenic crescent]

idk i dont live in the us

i thought that clip of scissor seven is really popular

[dusty fable]

Maybe. Personally, I think they just fucked up the narration. I don't mind tho, the idea is nice, maybe they will do something decent eventually

[scenic crescent]

https://tenor.com/view/scissor-seven-cike-wu-liuqi-anime-seven-thirteen-gif-15835994355799525586

[limber seal]

actualy fk it.. let me watch properl yhero x now..

wait for my rants..

[topaz linden]

Yee, I'm cautiously optimistic.
Cause the first two arcs showed they're at least decently capable of telling/presenting a good longer-form story. So hopefully S2 lets them focus on doing that

[limber seal]

or hailing..

[limber seal]

its not just naration but...
SO SO SO SO SO mnay new chars.. and we need to udnerstand this is that and that and thi si sthis yonger verison of that

[scenic crescent]

no you dont

😭

again thats for the lore fanatics

[limber seal]

and then on top of that names that for western viewers are confusing...

[scenic crescent]

????

this is grasping at straws atp

all the names are in english

major characters

and i dont see people complaining about that for japanese anime

i can accept criticism like e souls arc sucking but "these names are too confusing for western viewers?"

what

[scenic crescent]

its in english 😭

[dusty fable]

it's not a problem if narration is okay. Like if there is a proper transition between story arcs. So you get some characters from the prev arc, some new characters. They just straight up changed characters, setting, situation going from first to second arc. I was watching 2nd arc and was always: how is this relevant

[scenic crescent]

the anime already pandered to western viewers

💔

[topaz linden]

Well, you see.. Big Johnny is the big one, Lil Johnny is the little one 🤔

[scenic crescent]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-does-he-know-gif-26833694

[scenic crescent]

there are characters from previous arc though?

[topaz linden]

1st arc was more of a "start the story at the end" type deal.

The subsequent arcs more or less tied things together to each other

[dusty fable]

maybe. But they completely swapped the main cast.

[scenic crescent]

like a "how did we get here"

[limber seal]

-> and they should more often type in "30 years ago" or somthing

[topaz linden]

Think they do that literally every time there's a time jump 👀

[scenic crescent]

they do though

[scenic crescent]

why would a new focus character have the same friends as the last arc

[limber seal]

not enough that in each arc they change not just main hero BUT ALL chars... thats the point
but i need to read some "common era data" from tv or paper barely shown on screen for a few second and need to udnerstand rigtht away where we are

[scenic crescent]

and i think they have a consistent cast of ghost blade, louli, johnny, ghost blades daughter,cyan and queen ngl

[scenic crescent]

did you not see the giant text

in english

[limber seal]

plus not helping that go watch to one side audio is CHN other side audio is JPN 3rd audio is ENG
and often they dont translate properly what was said

[scenic crescent]

my only gripe was that esoul sucked and linlings cliff hanger was resolved off screen for a flashback next season probably

[scenic crescent]

sounds like a you problem ngl

[topaz linden]

If you have three different audios playing simultaneously, that might be a setup issue on your end 😅

[dusty fable]

I concede, I completely lost interest after they switched to 2nd story arc. So I watched 4-6 more episodes waiting to see what's the deal but wasn't into it, so I might have missed details, but it looked completely disconnected to me during that time

[scenic crescent]

its for free on youtube entirely in chinese

[scenic crescent]

not completely, esoul was the one who shot moon

although the linling plot line was resolved offscreen

singular frame resolve for linlings arc

linling will basically be the main man for s2 t

[topaz linden]

TL;DR:

• Nice arc: Very end of the show
• ESoul arc: Introduces several villains who appear later in the show
• Cyan: Introduces big bad, otherwise a side story
• Queen: Side story, mostly just shows she works in a team with some other characters
• Lol character->??? (Tower) episode: One shared story arc, split across 3 PoVs
• Dragon Boy->Ahu->X: One shared story arc, split across three PoVs, ends where Nice's arc begins

[scenic crescent]

x ends after nice's arc

[topaz linden]

Yee, there's a jump at the very last bit

[scenic crescent]

ahu ends where linlings arc began

[topaz linden]

Wait, yeah, the Nice stuff was the finale of Ahu's, woops

Okay, yeh, X was seperate

His was just S2 setup lol

[scenic crescent]

and also gigantic lore dump

[dusty fable]

tbh, I just didn't like the story flow. I like characters, and I liked 1st story arc (even though it was rushed), but I am not invested past that

I'll watch s2 to see if they do things more coherently

[topaz linden]

Gonna be a bit tho sadly lol

Director's working on a 2 cour S3 of Link Click next year

Earliest we're getting an S2 is maybe '27

[limber seal]

since u experts of this anime here...
WTF was this at end of first arc?

[topaz linden]

The 21st heroes tournament is S2. The season ends right at the start of it

All the later plot points tie into the various corps trying to get their heroes into the Top 10 so they can compete in it

[limber seal]

so anime was made by JPN studio.. and then the CHN dubed it for their public?

[topaz linden]

Made by CN studios, published, dubbed, and marketed by JP production companies

[limber seal]

ah

[dusty fable]

anime pls, in 25 minutes there was like 10 minutes of storytelling and 15 minutes of this nonsense.

This anime has vibes as if the original source is VN, but somehow it is LN.

And here I was hoping the anime would be top of the season

[scenic crescent]

the final tournament is shown at the end of season 1

[limber seal]

what was the deal of 2nd arc of E souls fight and that Rock doing all that? or its epxlained later on properly?

[outer scaffold]

Frequency.

Is it wrong to befriend only those who are the same frequency as us?

[limber seal]

no u should also l check their skin color clearly!

[scenic crescent]

you need to watch the esoul video for that

essentially esoul only cares about saving people

and rocks cannot control esoul

so he planned the created a new esoul

[limber seal]

i dont remember that Esoul can only save ppl.. .. is this a callout to that other hero that can only stand up hero from first arc? so we need to assume is same way for Esoul some specific gimmick??
but i meant if that "Uncle Rock" story gets explained later on in episodes

[outer scaffold]

I think ur the one who does that...

[dusty fable]

They wont catch the radiowave otherwise

[outer scaffold]

What I meant by this question:

https://www.instagram.com/share/reel/BAD2xXCzHE

[outer scaffold]

The one take voice act by Saori Hayami

[limber seal]

https://tenor.com/view/obama-what-seriously-what-the-president-gif-16881768

[dusty fable]

tbh, the question is more clear than a reel in unknown language

[limber seal]

from bad to worse

[outer scaffold]

So, from what I saw in the comments, the woman complained to the MC that MC keeps pushing her away by saying "You wouldn't understand it", the mc is chuunibyou (the anime is Inou Battle)

[limber seal]

wait wait wait..

i rember this discussion

liek that bear or man in the wood.. it was a long ago meme discusion

if not wrong there was an eve deeper context to it also like it was multi folded

[dusty fable]

Haven't seen the anime, but personally I think we are free to befriend whomever we want Unfortunately, working on different frequencies does mean it would be hard, unless ppl are compatible for some reason

[limber seal]

like they are both right and wrong

cuz as usual "it depends"

[dusty fable]

I myself pursued a bunch of friendships that were kinda doomed anyway. It worked out in a way, but still such friendships are not quite the same compared to those with whom you are in sync

[outer scaffold]

And that even though the woman who complained and MC were childhood friends, the moment MC found a girl who is equally the same frequency as him, he feels... connected.

[dusty fable]

well, what to say, that happens. You kinda need to make effort to maintain friendships. Same goes for relationships.

[outer scaffold]

Connection.

[limber seal]

art/entertainment should make you think not copy 1:1 or accept it a face value
real life is very different
You see/hear something? think how that may be changed if u where in 1 place or the other, what if this was different what if this and that

[outer scaffold]

Effort? What if the person doesn't want to receive the effort?

[dusty fable]

well, then shucks. But most ppl do like when another person is interested in them. Excluding pathological interests

[tidal shore]

then ur not a good friend

[outer scaffold]

How are we not a good friend if we were the ones who make the effort for the friendship?

[tidal shore]

the other person*

[tidal shore]

while on the topic lemme ask, by "effort" what do you mean here?

[dusty fable]

well, usually it means that they dislike your current tactics. Just change the approach

[dusty fable]

mostly, attention and time

[limber seal]

daaaayum...
and then ppl say im crass or rude and wtv else "bad"... in here...
bruh u entered the room and hit bellow the belt right away bruh...

[tidal shore]

attention and time for someone who you like spending time with, presumably, shouldn't take much effort
which could mean another thing, that every friendship eventually becomes uninteresting to some extent

[dusty fable]

it's not like he is singling out anyone, so it doesn't matter?

[tidal shore]

yea I'm built like that 😎

sup Ena

[limber seal]

i mean...
it was clear berry soon that Anaxa had a personal problem and could not get something IRL from a person/friend
and tried in a very not subtle way to get an opinion from us if is betetr to stay with peopel that have same way of thinking or behvariour in IRL

ciao

[tidal shore]

changing approach just to start an interaction, or to hold interactions in general? I feel like there's a fine line here between pretending to be someone else vs being yourself

[dusty fable]

just like all things. But just like all things it's not a one way road. If if became uninteresting it can become interesting again. I have multiple friendships that span decades and we went through a lot. There were times when we weren't in contact much and times when we spent lots of time together. Those times were coming and going, interleaving each other

[tidal shore]

I didn't read the context
so I scrolled up just now, the question is quite interesting actually
I see nothing wrong with befriending those you find interactions with to be mostly effortless ("same frequency" as they put it)

[limber seal]

its better to just come out with the exact example of what exactly happened
just say person A and person B if dont want for us to know who is who...
but at least the relation/events shoul dbe as close to reality

[dusty fable]

nah, changing approach about actively befriending someone.

[tidal shore]

ahh icic

[limber seal]

also anyone who gives their opinion on something be it online or IRL -> never take them as real or defacto in anyway. cuz they literally dont risk a single thing
its YOU who gotta live with consequence of those actions, not those who advice you on what to do
always take with a grain of salt anything u hear or see

[dusty fable]

I just think that sometimes it doesn't hurt to look to revive friendships that fizzled out. Probably your interests divereged, so it would help to find new common grounds

[limber seal]

oh also...

u know what have in common the best written tragedies stories etc???

PEOPLE 👏 dint 👏 communicate 👏 with 👏 each 👏 other 👏 properly

[dusty fable]

like 100% of time in RL situations?

[limber seal]

ok but u overlook something important in you "friendship TC"

most of your friends... where u made them?

and when

[tidal shore]

what are you getting at Ena

[dusty fable]

depends. I have friends that I made throughout my life. I guess work friendships are the least stable of those, mainly because I didn't pursue friendships there

but I still have my childhood, middle school, high school and university friends. Each of those groups gave me some pretty close friendships

[limber seal]

because things ussualy happen for a cmon reason.. and things also change gradualy.. cuz u know time.. and age...

[tidal shore]

no work friendships is so american

kinda sadge cuz workplaces are one of the few spaces where adults can meet new people

[tidal shore]

'time and age' are so reductive, human relationships are much more complex than this

[dusty fable]

we actually had a great and friendly workspace (as well as team). Better than most I think. Unfortunately we still mostly worked on different projects and adult life is not very supportive of afterwork bonding (we did some though)

[limber seal]

1. u make friends because u go out of house
2. because you have a common place where keep meeting ppl, even same ppl keep seeing them from different POV.. "not just OMG they where so rude never again"...those place that u keep meeting in forced you to look at same person form different POV...and eventualy u seen the RPOS> CONS and they became a friends...
   3 ages

[tidal shore]

true, work/life balance currently sucks depending on where you are

[dusty fable]

the biggest problem is still an age gap. Like school, university etc keeps you in the same range with peers, but at work it is much more spread out

[tidal shore]

also depends on the type of jobs, but you're right

[limber seal]

so in reality ppl dont make friends with ppl on same "frequencies" or same type of mind -> but because of "frequency" of doing same thing frequently -> habit

https://tenor.com/view/mic-drop-obama-barack-gif-13411519

[tidal shore]

erm

no

[dusty fable]

they do though. It's just rare

[tidal shore]

ofc the kind of people you get to pick is limited, but you will pick those you get along with the best, no?

[dusty fable]

I guess might be more rare today, since before internet all your peers had mostly the same interests

[tidal shore]

idk I was born after the internet

came into existence

I imagine the scope was much smaller back then though, but people were still just as diverse

[dusty fable]

fwiw, Internet didn't occupy most of ppl life before like 2005 or around

[limber seal]

have you noticed though in media.. how a group of ppl are shown people with different "character"?
the timid, the intellectual,, the sporty... the mad one.. etc

even in when they are in the same group interest.. fans of DND.. or wtv .. they all split in different types still

why is that? cuz they copy or imitate real life...

waiwait wait i want yopur true back!!!

[tidal shore]

true
and fwiw I didn't have the internet until 2012, so I had some childhood without it

[limber seal]

[tidal shore]

well, Poland was pretty backwater then

so

most people were in similar situation

around me

[dusty fable]

different types doesn't mean different frequencies though

[tidal shore]

that's just anime tho, not real life

[dusty fable]

it does work like that in real life pretty often too

ofc, characters are not as distinguished

[tidal shore]

u mean people build their whole personalities around a specific trope?

[scenic crescent]

I love manchainsaw

[dusty fable]

no. It means that people sometimes do be like a trope

[scenic crescent]

https://tenor.com/view/asa-mitaka-chainsaw-man-csm-asa-asa-plush-gif-131791569307704416

[limber seal]

movie tv show all have the same group "comon in something" but different in rest
never even anyone show "same radio frequencies" friends group

art imitates life

[dusty fable]

I mean that friend groups tend to be pretty diverse

[limber seal]

the issue is when life tries to imitate art by not having enough life experiences

[tidal shore]

what radio frequencies
obviously Anaxa didn't mean that by frequency???

[dusty fable]

it's not an issue unless you only emulate your life from what you have learned from TV shows

[limber seal]

https://tenor.com/view/missing-the-point-the-point-gif-16745988427925620316

[scenic crescent]

Why are we talking about anaxagoreass

https://tenor.com/view/anaxa-hsr-honkai-star-rail-anaxagoras-hsr-anaxa-gif-8730286764795653283

[dusty fable]

you might have to resign to a fact that you and caveman have different radio frequencies

[tidal shore]

yeah

radio

[limber seal]

someone threw a ball int he room
now we dogs bark at each other

[dusty fable]

but wait, if you are both connected through WiFi, then they should be the same?

[limber seal]

imagine how interesting is Hero x if i abandoned that to yapp abotu this..

for how much now?? half an hour?

[scenic crescent]

I cant takr mfs who watch a show and barely pay attention to it seriously

[tidal shore]

hey that's not very cool, I'm trying to understand here what the hell you mean by frequencies

[limber seal]

the initial metaphor used to stir our dicusion

was that

[dusty fable]

might take your foil hat off first. Otherwise frequencies won't reach you

[limber seal]

i mean i am not wrong no? or u actual ydint get that?

[tidal shore]

well anyway I'm going sauna-maxxing rn cuz it's late already, will pick this up tmr or something

[dusty fable]

Personally, it just means if you are in tune with someone. And I believe sometimes you get that vibe immediately on the first glance

[tidal shore]

yea agree, this is how I understand it too

[limber seal]

see Notime gets it. in "tune" same frequency are synonyms on that context

that was the whole point of my disertion.. wtf

how u dont folow the home asingment???

ur teachers gonna be dissapointed!

"vibe" vibrations. -> frequency is misure din vibrations...

omg BASIC ENGLISH!!!=!=!=! WAARAGJASKDJHASKLJDNK

[dusty fable]

just don't soak up too much water

[limber seal]

https://tenor.com/view/me-when-i-see-my-class-gif-15768348532634343334

im really worried about the future of society...

oooooh...ooh i got the reference just now...

[limber seal]

HOLLY FUCK...
just now understood it.. was on pause for 1h before this scene happened with queen just 5 sec later lol seen it only now

[tidal shore]

I did get it though 💀

why insert the random radio frequency stuff then

it's hard to understand you cuz of the irrelevant filler

[dusty fable]

tbh, I started this as a joke

[limber seal]

wait for real???
did u not read the comment that started all this?

[dusty fable]

He meant specifically radiowaves, those weren't quite the part of discussion

[limber seal]

or its an actual lost in translation metaphor? not just slang jargo :skill issue?(why there is is no emoji for this but its only in reaction mode????)

((ok nvm it was from other server..not here the emoji))

yah we both kept escalating the metaphor joke/

[dusty fable]

Well, sorry to say this, but it might have worked out not in your favor, because the setup for radiofrequencies was comedic, as in more of a counterpoint

[limber seal]

ehh.. still
it was all part of crescendo i was making since start of discussion
cuz the frequency was related to frequency/tune/vibe "radio frequency" context of word and i tied in the other context of same word to the habit to frenquency of doing same thing repeatedly

[dusty fable]

the habit to frenquency of doing same thing repeatedly

this part never came up though, or I overlooked it

[limber seal]

yes that was the point -> cuz none was considerign that side of this whole "friendship TC"

and i reminded ppl of school university work etc

"habit"

[dusty fable]

like habitual behavior as part of friendship socials is an interesting concept

[dusty fable]

well, you should have been more clear

[limber seal]

but its at base of it all...

[limber seal]

my bad?

its liek saying fire is not important to human society... and was important only when we discovered it 10000 years ago...

at abse of it all for human firendhsip is-> habit

[dusty fable]

true. Partially. We kinda went way more further ahead than "grooming" each other.

In our social evolution

[tidal shore]

tru tru

[limber seal]

frequently

[rancid ledge]

is this how yall communicate?

[limber seal]

verbs be verbing and vibing

[rancid ledge]

what the frigg are yall arguing about

[dusty fable]

yes, through Internet

[tidal shore]

no arguing

just convo

[rancid ledge]

oh okay, debate i see

carry on

[tidal shore]

ok break over

[limber seal]

yes we vibrate some flapy meats.. while pass air...

[tidal shore]

I gottasay though @limber seal I'm often confused by how u interpret my messages, and I'm often lost about what you intend to convey

[limber seal]

ok understandable im also very bad at vibing my fingers properly to type decently and refuse to correct unless ppl call me out

hate the (edited) part also

hate even more to delte and retype it all

[rancid ledge]

so amazing that everytime i come back, loads of shit like this happens

welcome to the anime channel everybody

[dusty fable]

the problem is, while fire is still important to our society, it would be pretty hard to explain every technology through fire, even if the concept is applicable So while habits are at the foundation, explaining through them is too heavy

[limber seal]

ehh agree but also ieesh it depends

is there more extremis now than before?
is there more extremism in online communication cmpare to IRL?

[dusty fable]

it's anime related. You just need to scroll back far

[limber seal]

far far far enough

but yes we are heavily off topic

if someone start anime discusion we wil shut up

[rancid ledge]

oh keep going, dont mind me

[dusty fable]

well, this is going a bit offtopic. But technically yes. Because people are not well suited to multimodal communication. Until 20th century human discussions mostly consisted of a few ppl at best at a single time and place

[rancid ledge]

im glad i come back to whatever chaos this is

[limber seal]

dont worry.. as usual... i wil tie it up back to OG question that started our discussion

one big nice loop

so only ppl got in a habit of bullshiting or insulting each other without consequence
while IRL they dont do it as much.. cuz there are consequences
both different kinds of habits.
one may end with a slap or fist..

[dusty fable]

Main problem is that more ppl outside our comfort groups are there on the internet. So unless you mindfully moderate this yourself, you are bound to get into a polarized discussion

[dusty fable]

eh, I think we are slightly past that

[limber seal]

well yes...there is worse..
but same time the point is
if u knew that person IRL.. in habit of meeting them u would not do/say certain things to them or somethign related to them..be it their group skin color country etc...

[dusty fable]

and what is the conclusion?

[limber seal]

i frogot...

i swear i had it 5 mina go.. but forgot the tie-in

[dusty fable]

ok, I forgive you

[limber seal]

wait say somethign related to waht i said..above.. maybe it comes back..

or deconstruct my POV

[dusty fable]

don't stress it

[limber seal]

liek debate my take godamit!!!

@tidal shore unleash it agasint my speach about online extremism and IRL habits..

[dusty fable]

tbh, I see too many branching points from here to discuss

[limber seal]

yes but all u need is to take waht point that says im wrong... mayeb it comes back.. waht i had in mind..

i got distracted by a gif then ashor ton yutube whiel typing here..

[dusty fable]

like, for example, it is known that ppl change "roles" depending on their environment. Like ppl can behave differently at workplace and among friends etc. But most ppl still stay within set parameters. So technically, switching between Internet and RL would be the same. Like you behave differently, but not really

[limber seal]

ah ah ah

so but its easier to dehumanize someone u dont meet!!

its like the abc or 1010 of psychology

[dusty fable]

Yes, but it still not very much different from meeting a stranger. Like we tend to dehumanize strangers too. It's only ppl within our close acquaintances that we consider fully human. Supposedly

[limber seal]

even someone u hate IRL u may say some shit behind their back...but if u know they can find what u said to them.. even if they keep silent but u keep meeting them -> your conscience will eat at you (and i mean this in big majority of ppl and not fringe extremes small number cases)
Even them being silent but present eats at you "soul"
And even if they where bad in your POV the more you meet them the more normal human they are(again big majority of cases no fringe ones)

[dusty fable]

I think the same is true for Internet too. There are plenty of examples of this behaviour

[limber seal]

yes it human "connection" but its still the habit of meeting them all the time that disarms the "extremism"

[dusty fable]

on the Internet there are also places that we visit more often and ppl that we talk more often to, so the process is still there. Ofc, there is more volatility due to the openness and wider availability of Internet

[limber seal]

yes but still in a way smaller impact imho

[dusty fable]

sure, but shouldn't it work in other direction too? Shouldn't you value their opinions less?

tbh, my problem is that I don't experience Internet at all like that

[limber seal]

in what way? u meant that
cuz compared to someone equivalent IRL that have the same discussions their opinion will be much more valuablecomapred to their eqivalent on internet.

[dusty fable]

I guess it's partly because my use of Internet started from Internet clubs, so there was both physical and digital connection

so, technically, I was physically in the Internet. For me it was a physical place, because I had to physically go to connect there

[limber seal]

who is who though?

that just equivalent of game arcade or sports bar

[dusty fable]

don't underestimate those though

ppl live in there

[limber seal]

well i dont... that stil falls in to IRL habit conection

[dusty fable]

sure, which is why I am saying that Internet was part of my IRL habits.

[limber seal]

ok but thats not true internt thats "lan party"

[dusty fable]

true. But at that time there wasn't much distinction. Internet was just a "bigger" LAN party tbh

[limber seal]

ok but my speech was the lack of IRL habits is what makes the internet(digital communication) extremism worse
if u know the person IRL that u speak on interact with on internet that is an IRL conection

not just a internet/digital/electric interaction

[dusty fable]

well, I guess it would be hard to explain. We used to have local networks, that were almost like physical connection even if you never met physically. Like you literally knew your local provider hosts and admins etc without ever meeting them. Ppl might call it parasocial nowadays

Ppl fear parasocials for some reason, but it was fun, and I am pretty sure it can still be fun

[limber seal]

hmm yah.. i dont really understand that

but "parasocial" dunking is bullshit
all do it online streamers tubers etc

"oh no i said something the chat doesn't likes" let me change that...
why u allare typing "L" omgogm sotp it... second day "leter L" or "spaceLspace" is banned..

same for coments under yutube video

[dusty fable]

Well, whatever doesn't suit you, you can always moderate on your side, imo

[limber seal]

yah ofc "you do you" but so many ppl dunk on "creators -> "look a that "parasocial" loser cant keep viewers without going parasocial baiting..." -> But they themselves then do exactly same with their viewers

and for you as "viewer" called parasocial? by who? -> ask them about i dont know... some new product cosmetic.. their prefered sport team.. or wtv is there that trigers them.

[dusty fable]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ It's not like hypocrisy is only an internet thing.

I prefer strimmers with small communities because it's more suitable for idea exchange

[limber seal]

not being in "vogue" cuz of random self associated social status to an item and not just another person to look up to, is not a 21 century thing.. it existed for hundred of years at least

i mean not even calling in the kardashians or that other dumb girl...wtv her name...

we got "The Emperor's New Clothes" ages ago as a fable

[tidal shore]

aight I will debate you

link me to your point

too lazy to backread

[next crescent]

Do it in DMs though, since political debates like that are against server rules lol

[dusty fable]

it's not a political debate though

[next crescent]

Oh it wasn't?

[dusty fable]

it's a social debate

[tidal shore]

yea

about the power of friendship

[next crescent]

Ah okay, because I saw "is there more extremists now than there were before?" And assumed it was political because... Well yeah

But then also if it doesn't adhere to the anime/manga/etc topic of the channel it should be moved anyway

[tidal shore]

tbf extremism is often associated with political context, even though it can easily be applied to everything else

[next crescent]

Ye

[dusty fable]

well, it was more about extremities of views

[next crescent]

And since timelime is involved I deadass just assumed it was political

[tidal shore]

issok I'm sure this will become anime-core if we bring up examples from anime

[next crescent]

But yeah, stay on topic, move off topic to elsewhere appropriate, yadda yadda I gotta go back to work enjoy your debate

[dusty fable]

what the heck. I am not even discussing politics that much. Like maybe 10% of time at best? Pretty sure lower than that

[tidal shore]

incredible

Lime ur now politick man

pretty sure I touched on politics more than anyone here though

[dusty fable]

cease and desist, I am the politick laureate, I own all politick here

[tidal shore]

I'm not relinquishing this title, if it's a war you want then you will have it

[limber seal]

ok Hero x haves awesome fights...

REALLY awesome fight.. cool animations.. all the .. how its name key animation money shot.. name..

but i could care any less for them.. like 0 involvement or suspense

https://tenor.com/view/ok-gif-19067401

me in my dark room looking at monitor cool efects cool choreography etc.. but still "...ok"

there is more teeth gritting when i seen for the umpteenth rewatch time when Malcolm about to fight against some school bully

[dusty fable]

I need to watch it. Never seen the show

[tidal shore]

sakuga?

[hot notch]

Just as a fair warning alternate spelling/evading filter is also a noticeable offense.

[tidal shore]

-# footnote: sakuga just means animation, it only holds special meaning in the west/english

[craggy mango]

New Skip & Loafer chapter just dropped

Today was a good day

[limber seal]

isnt that for "master plan"?

[limber seal]

but then mod said its ok

or staff.. wtv more or less same i guess

[limber seal]

do we have an actual politik channel?

if u think im shiting to much on an ime elft and right.. imagine that x100 what i have to say about curerent "modern audience "politics"

[tidal shore]

no, plan is "keikaku"

and it's not "master plan"

[limber seal]

oh oh

[tidal shore]

no, politik is banned in server rules

issok anyway I prefer sociology over politiks

only issue is even in general channels it's discouraged to talk about this stuff

[limber seal]

bullshit.. i seen it in tc liuge so many times..

i thought there was an actual channel for it though

[tidal shore]

you've seen it, sure, but it's still highly discouraged

[limber seal]

damn i could sweat a mod in TC lounge said its ok if wanan shit on it one way or another...but cant find the message

also discord search function is worse than a generic chat gpt

ooooh so Gyoza is Dumplings...

fuck... TIL

[tidal shore]

nah u just bad

[limber seal]

wait..

[limber seal]

do i even need to explain why is bad or its self explanatory?

[tidal shore]

yes, explain

[limber seal]

wait i need to draw it

for special kind of ppl..

[limber seal]

for the special kind of cave people...

[tidal shore]

yea, what's wrong with it?

[limber seal]

oh u are even more special then special people...

[tidal shore]

could it be you think the smart search feature isn't actually a feature?

also don't call me special

this feature is actually very convenient

[limber seal]

yes ists a big not a feature in this case..

bug wtv..

[limber seal]

and...how is it, exactly ?

[tidal shore]

for example you get to find not just a specific string of letters, but also plurar and shortened words of it which broadens the search (requires less specificity basically)

[limber seal]

yahhhhh... righhht... nah

https://tenor.com/view/right-lol-yeah-ok-yea-gif-4825911321701417109

[topaz linden]

Surprised someone with so many typos has an issue with a feature meant to help search for text with typos

[tidal shore]

fr

[ionic schooner]

fr squared

[tidal shore]

fr cubed

@ionic schooner watch Land of the Lustrous

also hi

[ionic schooner]

I would but my GPU kinda messed up I think

[tidal shore]

u can do it on yo phone

[ionic schooner]

[tidal shore]

quick use a browser with built in adblock and pop up blocker

there's no time coco they're coming

the thing is coming

this might be your last chance coco

u need to

[tidal shore]

fr tho what did u do

[limber seal]

wdym?

[ionic schooner]

I dunno it's been getting more corrupted or something since December last year

[tidal shore]

BRUH

[ionic schooner]

First it had these weird purple compression artifacts in dark areas but I found a bypass for that

[tidal shore]

it's been almost a year, literally how is it still working

[ionic schooner]

But now it's getting more cuorrupt

[ionic schooner]

It's not like affecting the performance or anything

If I was blind I could ignore it

[tidal shore]

so just display? u sure it's not the monitor?

[ionic schooner]

Idk it could be

[tidal shore]

try different monitor

[ionic schooner]

But I doubt it cuz I screenshot stuff in games too

[tidal shore]

or plug it into a TV or something, evberyone has a TV

[ionic schooner]

And it has a lesser version that happens all the time

[tidal shore]

oh

[ionic schooner]

And it appears in screenshots too

[tidal shore]

damn

yea ur cooked, put it aside to mine crypto or something and get a new one 😭

[ionic schooner]

I can send some screenshots

[ionic schooner]

Like it's not that bad (when not using directx)

But it's still there

It's annoying

[limber seal]

if the search was smart "clevat" query would also show: "clevat+es" or "cleva"
but its just randomly shit doesnt shows all results.. i dont want an "im bored" search on google or wtv its that "surprise me" button that was before

if i say search "clevates" and u dont show "clevatess" which is just one extra +s at end of my query then W T F is this shit seach functions

[tidal shore]

ok the missing S is kinda wack I'll admit

[tidal shore]

do it

[limber seal]

https://tenor.com/view/office-michael-scott-thank-you-gif-5278681

ergo search function is shit in discord

[tidal shore]

issok Ena

[ionic schooner]

this is an example from a cutscene

its in the background

its like blocky

[tidal shore]

call yourself Tony Skunk

[ionic schooner]

its worse when watching anime

[tidal shore]

what am I looking at

[ionic schooner]

lemme see if it appears on my phone

[topaz linden]

Not seeing anything here either

[ionic schooner]

if it doesnt its prob jus my monitor

[ionic schooner]

ya thats some of it

[tidal shore]

can you describe what it's supposed to look like?

[ionic schooner]

and its alot more on the right too

[ionic schooner]

like its blocky

[tidal shore]

anime screenshot then

[ionic schooner]

and theres dark green and purple blockyness

[ionic schooner]

ok

[tidal shore]

but I think I see it

[ionic schooner]

i got a good example

[limber seal]

is amore oclorful bright image?

yah right.. amore lol

[topaz linden]

Not seeing any green or purple here

[ionic schooner]

idk can u guys see it

[topaz linden]

Nope

[tidal shore]

honestly I don't see anything that would look odd here

is it supposed to be noticeable at a glance?

[limber seal]

this is officialy trolling..

[ionic schooner]

ya

[ionic schooner]

nah i swear

lemme get an example from reddit

[limber seal]

[tidal shore]

and how much of that is actually compression

[topaz linden]

Reminds me of the classic
https://www.reddit.com/r/ShittyTechSupport/comments/msqe9t/my_screen_is_cracked_can_someone_look_at_this/

[limber seal]

oooh

[ionic schooner]

thats what i thought before

[limber seal]

wait so its hsi physical screen wrong??

[ionic schooner]

but its not cuz its in games too

and like

i remember my game didnt have those before

[topaz linden]

There's a decent chance it could be, if it's supposed to be as obvious as they're saying

[ionic schooner]

maybe

[topaz linden]

Either an issue with the physical screen or the parts of their computer sending the image to the monitor (cable, graphics card, etc.)

[tidal shore]

take a photo of your monitor 👆 🤓

[ionic schooner]

but im using the same screen and it didnt look like this when i was playing zzz before

[limber seal]

ye ye 99% its ur physical screen problem but basicaly not Video card problem or software...

[ionic schooner]

ya ig so

atleast not this problem

cuz i got another problem but thats not related to watching anime its just a game thing

so i thought they mightve been connected

[topaz linden]

It could still be both, but on the display side (sending the info to the monitor), not rendering (the computer generating the image)

[ionic schooner]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/11edtmo/found_a_fix_for_over_pixelatedblocky_black_areas/ its kinda like this

but not as bad

sometimes

[topaz linden]

Yeah, not seeing any of that

[ionic schooner]

sometimes it is pretty bad

[tidal shore]

oh damn

this does look like compression

[ionic schooner]

well i hope all i gotta do is replace my monitor

cuz i dont wanna buy a new gpu

[topaz linden]

Could try replacing the cable first before the monitor

[ionic schooner]

ya

[topaz linden]

Or borrowing one from a monitor you know is working

[ionic schooner]

i lowk threw out the original cable by accident and bought a new one that looked the same

[topaz linden]

Then I'd try borrowing a monitor you know works and plugging it into your computer

[ionic schooner]

nah i dont got another one😔

[topaz linden]

That'll tell you if it's the monitor or your card that's the issue

[topaz linden]

Borrow one from someone

[ionic schooner]

i kinda wanna upgrade my monitor anyways

the gpu i wanna keep tho

[limber seal]

is dekstop or portable?

[ionic schooner]

desktop

so i could use another monitor

idk anyone to borrow off of tho

😔

[limber seal]

ya ez pzp even tv hdmi cable

[tidal shore]

doubt it's the monitor considering the screenshots capture the issue

[limber seal]

huh?

[ionic schooner]

lowk idk if they do

[tidal shore]

whuh

then it's hard to tell

[ionic schooner]

i mean they do its just super hard to see

i could see traces of it on my phone tho

and i saw a part of gurren lagann on my phone too and it didnt have these compression artifacts

[tidal shore]

crazy

[ionic schooner]

I also got this screenshot but it's only when I use hardware acceleration

Which is why I think that's a gpu problem

I turned off hardware acceleration but the compression artifacts from the other images r still there

[limber seal]

do screen shot and phone shot of same bad image an dpost here both

[ionic schooner]

Ok

[tidal shore]

crazy

[ionic schooner]

Ok I found such a perfect part to screenshot

i found another problem

my phone camera kinda bad its hard to see the compression on it

ima take the photo anyways

[limber seal]

this is already like super duper bad...
so jut post both source from system screen shot and phone shot for us to see it
not you from your monitor

cuz ur monitor is biased at 99%

[tidal shore]

to my understanding, screenshots capture true pixel value, not the displayed-on-monitor value

well, I haven't checked so I might be yapping

[limber seal]

screnshot captures VG card..
what comes from PC through cable to monitor is different
so its a "physical" issue on end of image demonstration -> aka monitor or the "data" passsiing though physical device aka cable or some pins
