Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
like if i had a normal database and i did image resizing with an API the site could run on like a 256mb vps easily

the problem is image resizing takes al ot of ram in bursts, video thumbnailing too this would all go away if i just put image resizing on a separate server tbh

tomodachi game is kind of a strange show, especially this second Game they're doing that's so easy to break they could have just all agreed at the start to just submit a single lie about themselves on the cards each time, and they'd be guaranteed to either smoke out the traitor or finish evenly, probably Either someone does something else than what was agreed, and they get fucking yeeted from then on, or they all submit the same inoffensive stuff about themselves each time until the ened

Although I would much prefer an actual translation of the novels. There is a sort of fan translation but its really just like 30 page summaries of each or something.

Queen's Blade was really popular like 14 years ago. I remember that there was a psp game for it.

The art in ciconia is definitely a lot better, apparently cause ryukishi just did sketches and had someone else do the actual drawing It still feels ryukishi though

Anno
Also I can finally post on /moe/ again from my phone You fuckers aren't rid of me yet
/人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
wow who said we wanted to rid you I am being hostage by a feline
skeleton isekai's a lotta fun isekais generally are, really, there's just some that are really really boring
Anno
I bounce between it being kinda fun and being a bit too on the nose The whole "Wow this is a real fantasy" bit got tired by episode three and I dunno, it just has a kind of shallowness which makes it hard to sink into
S C
That much I agree with yeah, hopefully it mixes stuff up a bit soon. If it just continues to be "MC is OP and an uncomplicated good guy" the whole time through with occasional "cat ears, poggers!" gags, I might drop it
Anno
Otome Game Isekai is probably the most fun isekai this season The best isekai is probably Honzuki but it's on its third season now so kind of a high barrier of entrance But it has some really great characters and a living world
S C
Oh, I was meaning to check that out, but I sorta forgot Partially "forgot" because to some degree it seemed kinda, I dunno, not fun for whatever reason
Anno
Shield Hero season two is nice too
S C
>>1042707 this season, or just, the best? 3 seasons is doable, I'm bored fairly often after all
Anno
Honzuki is the best isekai this season It's kind of cheating since, again, it is on its third season But none of the season ones are real knock outs Closest is probably Otome Game but I would also say it needs like 2-2.5 episodes to really get into the right speed The first episode especially is really meh and it was only because I gave episode two a shot that it got good
S C
Well I mean, my favorite isekai is either Overlord or Muv Luv, depending on whether you count Muv Luv as an isekai considering the anime in a lot of ways isn't actually an isekai in any meaningful sense And I don't really like the Muv Luv anime all that much, some of the older ones are honestly better
So it's a tough call really. Overlord I have no real criticisms of beyond the obvious ones that come from adapting an LN into an anime I just love that series to bits, though I still gotta catch up on the LNs some day
Anno
I feel like you misunderstand, I'm specifically talking about shows airing this season
S C
Fair, I just kinda got carried away Muv Luv really is in a kind of weird spot though The anime aren't isekai, meaningfully, but the VN absolutely is and it's the core of the MC's motivation So it's weird
I'll give otome game a look though, most of the time I end up enjoying stuff recommended here I wouldn't have checked out that black company isekai if kirara didn't mention it at some point And that show is incredibly good
Anno
The best shows in general this season I think are Paripi Koumei and potentially Summertime Rendering, as long as it doesn't go too dumb Koumei is just a blissful experience and celebration of fun Summertime is wild and has set up such a cool series of mysteries
Wait I totally forgot about Shokei Shoujo when it comes to this season's isekai mostly because the main character is a native of the world That's definitely the new isekai I'm most anticipating week after week
S C
I'll have to give that a look too then
Of the shows I've looked at so far, my favorites are easily SpyxFamily, Summertime and annoying healer though I like the skeleton isekai a lot, but it's not like I'm itching to watch it when the next episode comes out Tomodachi Game seems like it might be either trash or pretty damn good, too, it just depends a lot on how it progresses from where it is I guess just because of the premise and name, I end up comparing it a lot to Liar Game in my head, and so far it's really not done well in that comparison, but it's a somewhat rare genre so I'm willing to give it a few more episodes >>1042717 Literally nothing with a new season this season is stuff I've actually watched the previous season of I think one or two of them, I watched the first season and never felt like watching the second
Anno
New seasons of continuing stuff are great too I'll happily eat up new seasons of Kaguya-sama and Machikado Mazoku getting its second season finally is glorious And like I said earlier, I'm loving Honzuki getting more episodes
>>1042716 Birdie Wing looks good, I haven't started it yet but there's a character in it who I really like the design of.
S C
>>1042718 oh that reminds me, I haven't been on vrchat in a long time now Just don't feel like it as much I guess
S C
I generally just avoid sports focused shows, honestly Sometimes I'll watch one, but it's rare, and usually because they're just really good, like pingpong or whatever

Yeah with Takagi-san last season I think we're getting at least three seasons straight of Yamamoto anime adaptations
S C
hot damn the honzuki LNs are numerous! There's no way the whole damn thing's gonna get animated, so I have no choice but to read it now
Anno
I kept thinking that, but we're at three seasons now And it's not like they're throwing money at the adaptation
S C
I mean sure, but after 2 finished seasons, we're at ep 3 of s3 and we're like... 6 of 29 books somewhere I'd obviously love for all of it to see animation, but I really think that's unlikely, we're talking like 15 seasons or something for that or 10 at least I guess And presumably there's a lot less fat you can cut out for animation purposes the further into the books you get, too Lots of stuff early in series like these can be visually shown much faster than the written word, but those things tend to become less prevalent later on
S C
But man these counting methods on the LNs would piss Myne off There's parts, book-in-part, and also just which one it is counting from the very start, and they're not entirely consistently applied seemingly
Wikipedia says part 1 is the three first books, but this torrent claiming to have all of part 1 has 7 books

S C
Also isn't it a bit strange for Urano\Myne to recognize she's obviously in a bit of a medieval time-setting, and then use the family's salt to make shampoo? Salt was SUPER valuable for a large part of our history, after all, and being a bookworm there's no way she's not aware right?
Anno
Salt is super valuable, but it's also not a rare commodity Per example, the Romans would pay their legionaires in salt; you can't exactly do that it salt is a rarity Now her family is poor, but generally a small portion of salt is not going to break the bank
S C
That's true I guess It's just a little strange that at least in the anime, it wasn't even touched on, even if in this other world salt doesn't hold the same value as it does or did here, possibly
Her family being poor is also a bit strange honestly Sure it makes sense they're not wealthy, but her dad's the commander of the gate guard, right? That sort of position you'd think would carry a respectable purse
S C
Though, I guess they're never actually going hungry or anything, which is probably in and of itself "not actually poor" in context
Anno
That's also kind of a view of modern capitalism on the aspect Myne lives in a world where economy was divided more into nobility, wealthy, and workers There wasn't a whole lot of upwards mobility aside from the rare occasion where someone made a mint and was able to move into the wealthy And becoming nobility was unheard of; Myne's ascension into religious nobility is mostly the thing of fantasy
S C
That does make sense, yeah I guess I just figured her dad's position would result in a higher paycheck than it seemingly does, but when there's not exactly a lot of options for increasing your wages, they tend to be lower across the board It's not like everyone can do most work at a competent level, there not being any sort of public education or anything, the overwhelming majority can't read or write, and most of those who "can write" can write their own name at most So there's not a lot of leverage to negotiate for a higher paycheck, you can't even really go on strike or nothing cause you'll just not get fucking paid and then you're gonna be broke and unemployed instead
Anno
Probably even worse than unemployed If the gate captain tried to strike he'd probably get imprisoned and get to rot in jail
S C
yeah I mean depending on who your employer is, you might just be fucking executed
S C
Striking as the gate guard is effectively treason, after all
S C
...though at the same time, they do need SOMEONE to do it so you may have some leverage, considering the lack of potential replacements
S C
> Aaaah... A temple. It sounds like religion is enforced here, which sucks. I’ll try to avoid that place as much as possible.
So that didn't work out too well
S C
Actually, I really wish more fantasy settings would play around with the concept of religion being outright false, even if it's held in high esteem Most fantasy tends to either have the religions of the world all be true, or they're more of a cynical powerhungry thing, which I mean that's cool and all, but it'd be cool to see more interesting ways of handling it Even magic can be toyed with similarly, if you go with an unexplained technological aspect. People are led to believe a thing is magic, but actually it's just a device, that sort of thing.
Though, I don't mind magic and pantheons They're a staple of the genre for a good reason after all

Generating a plot is easy for people still at least

plots are not too hard what the book made clear to me is that stories are all about the how the protagonist's inner motivations change over the course of the conflict which seems kinda obvious now that i write it out but like im autistic whatever so i just needs a program to plot the inner course and generate outer course as a byproduct which fuels the prose

Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
why is gheesling such a great name
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
okay what if a supervillain took the japanese language from japan, erasing it from everyone's brains what happens next (this is totally not a code geass ripoff)
S C
well for starters, you gotta decide whether it's replaced, or if japan is just without language now
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
without their native language, but with any other languages learned. and the emotional language that we all share remains intact
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
so people outside of japan keep their japanese?
S C
>>1043033 hm hm Certainly you could have this lead to a lot of civilizational turmoil, perhaps even throwing the whole government out of balance and leaving Japan very vulnerable to outside aggression Their military is now unable to even read their own internal reports, all classified information is effectively relics from a lost civilization On a more base level, those who took their English studies seriously would have an extreme advantage for a fairly long time, being the only ones even capable of reading or writing anything at all They'd be in very high demand for businesses and stuff, and everyone else would necessarily be reduced to manual labor, number crunching, or learning a language, probably English considering that's likely what's most prevalent when Japanese is thrown out
Whole damn country would be thrown back several decades for a decent amount of time
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>>1043034 probably just erase it from the whole world except for one orphan girl in amsterdam
S C
Well, of course, Japan is already fairly vulnerable as is due to the pact with the US, but even the US might become more aggressive when the whole damn country's unable to communicate effectively internally They may be able to keep it slightly under wraps if they act swiftly, though, but anything they do to keep that information contained will appear extremely authoritarian and fascistic from the outside, they'd have to cut their internet off and stuff to not make it obvious that literally nobody at all is writing so much as a single japanese character anymore anywhere, after all. That's something I could see happening, it'd make sense to keep something that big under very tight control Their whole legal code would need to be rewritten from memory, too
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
rewriting a legal code from memory sounds extremely dangerous
S C
One would expect it to become tainted by the beliefs of those in charge of it They could even use it to their advantage, arranging the law to be more favorable towards certain things they hold in common Stuff like the right to an education could be left out even, creating a ruling class out of those proficient in a language now Potentially, anyway
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
the idea of erasing a language is pretty nonsensical so it would be hard to predict but i guess you would get people inventing new languages left and right? or just converging on english
S C
Certainly, you could have the country end up with a lot of languages constructed out of commonalities for the area Our dialects are extremely diverse, at like a world-class level, despite being a relatively small country, and the differences can in large parts be traced to the economic staples of a given area I don't fully understand the process, but near the coast up in the north, the dialect is very distinct especially when relating to stuff like fish and whatnot And without a common language as a base, you'd definitely end up with very, very different languages developing Though, I think the government's inherent need for a common language would push something like English into at least being a very prominent basis for all of them. It can't function if it can't communicate between jurisdictions and stuff after all. There's a reason official languages exist
S C
I think at least for writing a story, you'd want to lean more on a specific language being pushed very early on, just so you don't have to deal with the mental overhead of all the various distinctive languages that develop It's painful enough to develop one language that spans the whole world in fantasy settings, having to come up with a way to communicate many languages and their differences would be a lot of work, even if possibly more realistic in the short term
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
that doesnt seem so bad you can make different factions and enemies with incommunicable dialects
S C
well another issue is that even if those differences will develop in the short term, they all remember they are japanese and have like, economic needs that span those distinctions, so there's a big drive towards settling on some way to communicate effectively throughout the country Businesses have branches in several cities and stuff, so there's a lot of pressure to at least have some way to communicate between everyone
S C
Long term, I just don't think it's believable for those impromptu languages to stick around in a country that already exists and has so many factors pushing towards a single common tongue Dialects will for sure become way more pronounced than they currently are though, since the ways they develop for communicating until everyone's brought up to speed will bleed into the official language
S C
Of course, there could be a big effort towards just outright relearning japanese Though that seems like the most boring option
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
no thats not allowed
honestly theyd probably just learn english boo
S C
I think you could still do a lot of interesting stuff with it in the time between though The story would probably just mean anything anymore once an official language is adopted again
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i like to work backwards i come up with an ending and then i figure out how to get there like, "i want them to blow up the moon at the end" and then i figure out a story to make that happen usually i build the ending, then the world, then i figure out how to get there
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
that makes sense i think thats a dominant strategy otherwise how are you supposed to plan the story
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
I slept all day and want to sleep more. Probably not a good thing, but its helping my headache.
S C
Well, that's the first book done They really did take their time with the anime, not a lot was left out
S C
Just look at how cute
Anno
Yeah the original LN illustrations are gorgeous Kind of a shame that the anime is kind of ... not as good
S C
I still think the anime is plenty good too It's just obviously not feasible for something animated to be quite as detailed and polished as cover illustrations and stuff
S C
It's kinda weird how the anime changed her hair so the bun's at the back rather than at the side of her head though That seems like a strange choice to make
Anno
There's a considerable difference in the cover and colour illustrations for the series and what the anime has put out I think especially with how sloppy Myne's potato face is and that there's almost never any kind of shading or gradient for depth in the animation colouring that it's clear they weren't trying particularly hard to animate the series
S C
I suppose Though, it does make it cheaper, so we might have that to thank for even getting another, and even 2 more seasons Personally I don't really mind how the anime looks though, I guess I might just have a lower bar I think it looks pretty good, honestly, has kind of its own look overall
