my train was slightly late so I tapped off and tapped on when off-peak hit so I saved a crisp $1.57 bless that freighter that was running late I guess and blocked the passenger train
ya, it looks like the bottom of the moon's tilted towards the veiw. Like you can see t the* bottom. Looks to be a creater, or circle w/ lines spidering in every direction outwards. And looking through that lense, the MOTM doesn't look the same at all. And where the nose would be looks like a completely different face.
I did in starfield what I do in a lot of open-world games and that is do every single side mission and side quest before doing anything in the main story and then when it comes to doing the main questline I'm OP as fuck
Where do I go for good translations of the manga though? I guess maybe nyaa has it But I don't really like reading manga like, locally, cause I haven't found a comfortable image viewer for linux yet
Because it's a long weekend I allowed spaghetti-and-hentai Saturday to roll over a bit into the Sunday. Unfortunately, Now it's the cold, hard, sober reality of the Monday (which is usually reserved for Sunday).
>>1100094 Well I completed all the different joinable fractions and the main storyline. I don't even know how you'd 100% a game like this since some of the missions are infinite.
I already read the whole dang manga well, what's out at least
S C
I do kinda wonde where the anime is gonna end off though it's 2cour if I'm not mistaken I guess maybe they'll end it after the mage exams That makes sense for a 1st season end
Gura really has an incredible singing voice though >>>/watch?v=EgFTc6Xwjos I'm pretty sure this is the playlist they shoved into the game on that mixtape
isn't it fucked up how slot machines don't even produce gambling addicts, but slot machine addicts specifically? people who will actually get upset when they win cause the machine freezes up for a moment when you win
Anno
Because slots aren't really gambling At least like, in that there's a function of evaluating risks and betting on the odds I don't think you're getting the same thrill out of putting coin into slot and pulling lever as you are playing a card game with stakes or another kind of gamble
>>1100154 sounds like they usin the slot readout patterns as a tool for dissociation
S C
yeah pretty much it's just a blur of sounds and colors and you just rhytmically push the button over and over, and everything's abstracted, it no longer reads out the money count it's "credits", and there's so many possibilities for payout paying attention has no meaning anymore you just gotta trust the machine, not that it ever actually mattered, of course

I kind of miss the schizo
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
last time the schizo was back everyone was like "you should go get help"
they had a sale on ground beef yesterday, so I got a good bit of it Gonna be nice to have actual ground beef rather than pork For one it's not as squishy and malleable so when fried it's a bit easier to deal with
>>1100178 YEah I'm using it for a sorta stew thing It's a bag you just fry up 500g of ground beef or pork and then add water and the bag Sometimes I just fry it and have it as is with rice, though Rice and ground beef is a great food Easy to make, maybe not too tasty but you can add soy sauce for that, and it's easy to eat >>1100180 Oh Well I meant like, in a pan
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
you're gonna fry it?
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
I probably had 500g of ground beef tonight.
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
sorry I'm interpreting the word fry differently and got tripped up
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
I don't have any white rice in the house right now
S C
wait shit I don't even have any butter in the house I don't really need it I guess but I guess I'll make sure to get some later
S C
I used to just use oil, like olive oil or something, for frying, but after a while I've started just using some good butter instead Tends to end up better
>>1100183 for what? the ground beef? it has enough fat that you dont need to add anything
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
forgot to mention but I got accepted for a four week (unpaid) training thing at the place I did data entry skill tests at.
S C
>>1100186 Well I mean yeah it does, but it does add a little extra and makes the frying just go smoother in my experience that might just be placebo though
It turned out real good in any case >>1100190 Yeah And good butter will have some extra stuff too, usually just salt, but still Some actually good butter will really up the cooking game
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
probably makes it taste better and also makes it fattier
I wonder how long it's gonna take Frieren to figure out what's going on in the manga She's been around long enough you'd think she'd be quick on the uptake
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
she does seem a bit dense i havent read the manga yet though
She's not really dense, she's just emotionally distant And so ancient, the mundane stuff has kinda stopped mattering It's not that she's got eons left to go, that's not why she's quick to spend years doing something random She's already been around for eons, the next 10 years is just a small sliver of what she's already done in her life, it just doesn't register
S C
And that extends to people, too It's like trying to get to know a housefly or something You just wake up one day and all the people you spent time with are gone, and that's gonna happen so many times, you stop really being able to care, even if you want to
though it should be said it's not like she's got the wisdom of the ancients or something bordering on omniscience she's just an elf, so her lifespan is on a whole other level
It turns out I have NOT achieved actual self sufficiency in zomboid yet I mean, I KINDA have because I could just stuff myself with cabbages and not move much, and I won't burn all my calories But that's not a very exciting way to play the game Which means... I gotta move my base to somewhere I can fish, or go on fishing trips on occasion to stock up on some calorie dense food
Zomboid's seasons aren't entirely functioning yet, so you can both fish and farm year round, but that's gonna change next update, at least for farming
S C
Either way I'll have to clear out the area at a fishing spot and build a little temporary base there, likely with some power for a freezer to temporarily store my fish
I figure I'll make one of those once it's open Also be careful in the US tomorrow, turn off your cellphone The government is broadcasting the vaccine activation code over 5G tomorrow, turning you into a zombie
it's over for me... tomorrow i'm gonna show up and be like Hello fellow citizens! What's your favorite part of America? Mine is DIVERSITY and SAVING THE WORLD FROM NAZIS.
yeah they're timing it with the emergency broadcast It's all a grand plot to be evil for its own sake
S C
I feel like conspiracy theories in general are real good windows into why a lot of stories in general are kinda stinky People overall suck actual ass at coming up with any motivation for Bad Things beyond simply being "evil" in some ultimate sense
the conspiracy always has arbitrary restrictions that aren't fully fleshed out I think my favorite are the ones being harassed by the CIA using beam weapons to make their teeth hurt though The CIA is trying to just bother them, it's probably some agent just on lunch break fucking with the thing out of boredom
There's one schizo on youtube I've been watching on and off and she's truly got the wildest stuff She's got the teeth implants, and even recorded herself going all out in the dentist office, with all the staff like "miss, please, there's no microchips in your teeth" which means they're in on it she's got a brother who's also being targeted, seemingly lives in the same building, but over many years of footage from random places in the building, we've yet to see or even hear a sound from this brother, so I'm not actually sure if the brother is real
I think also some celebrities stole their music from her brother Or something, it's been a while
It seems kinda fun though, doesn't it? Being schizo I mean Stuff is a lot more exciting You don't have a headache cause you forgot to hydrate, you're being targeted by the government because you know about the subliminal messages in the new Yung Lean music video
but being chu2 isn't the same kind of fun you don't believe it when you're chu2
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
some people do my supervisor was just telling me about how she has ~visions~ oooo and how the universe is granting her ~visions~ for being So Good at meditation and that she sees her Ancestors its super chuuni and she believes every aspect of it
S C
are you sure she's not just trying to fuck you again?
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i mean she does want to fuck me but i told her that her visions are not real and she got really upset and insisted that they are and started googling random websites to support the idea that zazen can give you visions (it can't) like shes 100% serious
♍︎／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
if a person was having actual visual hallucinations though couldn't those legit be called 'visions'
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
visual hallucinations do occur in zazen sometimes, we call them makyo but she says that these are distinctly not those and are in fact trance-like visions granted specifically to her by the universe she says they're 100% spiritual Awakening
♍︎／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you should sell her some himalayan salt crystals say they will enhance them
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
would you believe me if i told you she already has crystals
don't sell her himalayan salt crystals anyway, that shit is way too good to sell away, you should be using that for food >>1100244 that woman is going to murder you one day, you know?
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
she has this whole idea that the Universe put me into her life specifically to Bring Her Buddhism because it is her Destiny and she has been one her whole life and didnt know it (she still has not even touched the surface of zen)
>>1100243 i dont think she can physically kill anyone she's like obsessed with love & peace complete hippy hippie she feels uncomfortable even making a joke about murder
♍︎／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
can she spiritually kill anyone
S C
well you know best I guess, but she has serious stalker aura and that can often go real south real fucking fast
>(she still has not even touched the surface of zen) she hasn't even gotten to the end of original half life?? yeah does sound p. weak train her to be stronger
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i dont want to train her i just want to tell her she's wrong until she eventually stumbles into being right about something (this will never happen)
Anno
The only hallucinations I had when I did the sit in LA was when my vision started to swim from the pain in my calves
I had a few hallucinations throughout the years, but most were tied to insomnia, self-imposed or otherwise I used to hear voices from my attic when I lived with my dad, and a few times I stayed up long enough I saw humanoid silhuettes here and there But nothing like, convincing
>>1100250 the pain becomes less frequent the more you do it and you find more comfortable ways to sit i should have brought my bench and let you use that but i left it in the hotel room you did good though
Anno
Nah I ain't no wuss I just have thicker thighs to calves ratio that's only amplified by my being a bit heavier than I would prefer I could do cushionless seiza on the tile hallways of my highschool back in my better years I can tolerate a padded floor and some cushions!
so true the idea of getting brain damage is terrifying to me pretty much all my hobbies AND my job rely on me having Working Brain i could probably operate at 75% capacity but if it goes lower than that i will probably just give up and go become a deranged homeless person living on the street and shouting at cars
My former Japanese teacher emailed me, i think they're trying to get student numbers up for the next semester And he's likw >yoi You were one of the best in the class, yoi just need to polish your skills to keep improving But what they DON'T know is that i was just coasting off 14 years of anime and weeb shit. Any time i had to memorise anything new it was a real struggle
Anno
Yeah, polishing your skills is going to be a real struggle, man Seriously learning anything new is gonna be tough as an adult with a fully-formed brain If you want to do it though, you gotta put in the effort Lifting and the gym wasn't a cake walk to get there regularly and do your sets, was it?
Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
>>1100284 Yeah ik. Nothing worth doing is easy My only point really is that i think he has a bit of a skewed perception of my abilities
Barring like, extraordinarily bad acting, how do you tell the quality of an actor, anyway? I feel like you can tell when someone's a bad actor, but once they reach a certain threshold how do you distinguish the really good from the good?
I feel like that'd just make you struggle even more to tell good from great Though you'd appreciate the bad acting more, if nothing else
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
when i was younger and had no idea what good acting was at one point i got to a certain level of zaza where i was able to focus intently on a movie i was watching and the bad acting just stuck out like a sore thumb, just didn't resonate with my humanity at all, idk. anyway there are no rules its just about resonance and gut instinct and experience with people
well yeah, bad acting is fairly easy to suss out But I mean like, how do you differentiate the acting that's real good from the REAL good acting, you know? Like, good acting vs Oscar acting I mean I know the oscars are a bit of a meme, but there's still seemingly some sort of consensus on what makes a performance worthy of it
I've just never been able to do that To me acting performances mostly just sorta reach a certain threshold where it seems 'real', and from there I can't tell the difference It really ends up feeling more like "truly great acting" is a matter of having a really good script and a well written character, more than ability on the actor's end
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
meh consensus is not that reliable you get up into the spheres of people praising virtuosos and one persons trash is another persons prize
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
meryl streep is a legendary actress, she just disappears into the role its not like ryan reynolds where he's ryan in every movie
well yeah but that's still kinda typecasting at fault If you're cast as the same guy you were in the last 10 movies, that doesn't mean you're not an exceptional actor, it just means you keep getting the same role
I guess the only actor I can think of where I feel like they're not actually that great of an actor while still being very good is Gosling He's a good actor, but I also feel like whatever the script, he's the same guy Which might be the intent, but if 'feels' like he's not supposed to be the same guy
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
just watch a bunch of meryl streep movies you'll get it watch some gary oldman
Anno
im c ryan
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i think gosling was good in some of his stuff and i still havent seen barbie at least it shows he has some range beyond quiet sadboy
I'm not even gonna watch barbie honestly But that is a role where he seems to have been a different guy at least, so maybe it's worth checking out even if my interest is zero
I'll definitely watch Oppenheimer one of these days though, just cause nukes are interesting
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i actually really wanna see barbie idk why the marketing got me nah its just i am down for a movie with elaborate real sets and ryan gosling being a goofball
S C
I'm also curious to know what it means for all the effects in oppenheimer to be practical Like did they just use actual footage of the boom, or did they genuinely fucking detonate an unholy amount of TNT?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
from what i heard oppenheimer is mostly dudes talking in rooms not that much cool explosions
Well yeah, but that's kinda the interesting bit But it must have a boom for there to have been practical effects >>1100311 An abstract kind of nuclear detonation
Anno
the boom is kind of abstract from what i saw
Anno
you can youtubers try and recreate his boom
Anno
can see**
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1100308 nah they cheaped out and just did a flash I think with magnesium and maybe phosphorus I ended up not seeing the movie because of an effects review I read
Oh I guess the alternative to a ton of TNT is to just do a small boom close up or use a different similar looking interaction >>1100316 Wow that's disappointing
I mean it doesn't matter, truly, but it's very disappointing because the movie is both about the fucking nuke AND because they hyped it like "we did all the effects with practical effects instead of CGI" so you have some real expectations going in
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
not even a real boom just a flash
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1100315 non CG trinity blast was the main reason I wanted to see it
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
I'd rather just watch 3 hours of nuclear test footage
S C
I wish I was alive back when they did the public tests of those damn things It would have been SO COOL to see a nuke in person
Sure you are gonna get mad cancer, but like, worth tbh
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
same also, fun fact the study that lead to the test ban treaties was done with poor methodology >>1100319 you won't get cancer if you're far enough away though I'm definitely against the test detonation of nukes woth super high yields, like castle bravo
I highly doubt they were positioning people far enough away though
I mean I'm just against nukes in general, obviously, I prefer this planet to be habitable at least until I die But I mean If it's gonna happen anyway, I wanna see it, yknow?
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1100321 there's a lot of info about people getting cancer from nuclear tests and fallout and what not but ive never heard of any civilians having cancer linked to viewing a nuckear test
oh yeah there was a whole town that was downwind from, I think trinity? that had incredible spikes in cancer rates and stuff after that shit Which is fucked up >>1100324 Yeah they were just positioned downwind, as a settlement, they just got screwed over by the US government\armed forces
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1100323 yeah but that's not linked to them viewing it
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
actually can you link me info on that?
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1100323 keep in mind rhey had no idea what the fallout yield would be they were literally taking bets about whether or not it would burn up the atmosphere
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downwinders I mean there's more than one group >>1100326 That always struck me as real odd tbh I get betting against it lighting the atmosphere up, but betting on that is insane It's just a losing bet Lose-lose, you can't win If you win the bet, your winnings aren't gonna be good for much
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
oh nvm yeah I guess the people who were told to "go outside while wearing this radiation badge and check out the mushroom clouds" we're fucked
Man I wish I could get to see a mushroom cloud though If the nuclear war pops off I hope one hits close enough I get to see it without actually wiping me out The next one can wipe me out, but I wanna see one at least
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
kek
S C
well, not that Norway is gonna get fucking nuked anyway ain't no reason to nuke our ass, for either party
everyone gets nuked cause if russia and the US just nuked each other then other countries could take them over afterwards, so they need ti *to make sure that everyone is nuked.
I mean sure if they're nuking EVERYONE then we're getting nuked too But at the same time, it seems meaningless to nuke us when you could chuck that nuke at someone else instead Our border with Russia is TINY, we don't really have a military to speak of, and any reason to fight us in a war would be to actually get the land, and nukes screw that one up big time >>1100337 >>1100335 I mean that sounds stupid just for the reason that... well, like there ain't no benefit in conquering an irradiated wasteland Though I guess nukes don't necessarily fuck the area up, Nagasaki is still just a place where people live I think, or maybe it's Hiroshima Or maybe it's both Depends on the type of nuke too I expect
Either way, nuking us seems like a waste of a nuke, if you're worried about our military taking control to any extent, you should just nuke your borders instead so nobody can cross it safely, cause we do NOT have the manpower to take over anything larger than a city, and even that's a stretch
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
iirc they used game theory to justify it
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
ah wait I'm thinking of something else well maybe it is related to MAD
Nukes are real scary though It's wild how Normal everything is when there's a handful of guys around the globe who could in a fit of delirium just kinda wipe us all out by pushing a button And that's not to mention how many times the US, and other governments for that matter, have kinda just fumbled nuked and miraculously had them not actually go off Some even "went off", but not in the way they have to in order to function as nukes
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
I'm gonna stop you now a nuclear warhead wknt detonate if you drop it there's a very specific and delicate process required to arm and detonate a nuke >>1100344 yeah and even an armed nuke wont go off if you drop it it needs some specific stuff to happen
S C
>>1100343 Some have been dropped with the switch set to "armed"
Well true It's still pretty spooky though Though the main threat has really been radioactive pollution resulting from the explosives blowing the thing apart and spreading the reactive material around Which has happened at least one time
But the explosives going off on accident does mean it's technically possible they go off correctly and blow the damn thing It's super unlikely though, that stuff is extremely precise, it's not enough for the C4 or whatever it is to merely blow, it has to blow up around the matter extremely synced up
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
C4 isn't impact sensitive and won't detonate under extreme heat either
S C
yeah I dunno what they use Or used It's probably a lot less dangerous now than back in nuke infancy
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
the stuff need to be detonated with super precise timing it's like

I made a wrap today, and used collard green lewf leaf* for the exterior. >>1100391
also lycoreco is in it also madoka and rance and a bunch of stuff it's about a girl who makes bishoujo games being upset that they are being killed out by gacha games and then blah blah blah she ends up in 1992
S C
>>1100426 wow, an actual show rather than a wacdonaru
that must have been expensive as hell >>1100431 Oh, maybe It's still impressive though, it's real rare to see direct references even to stuff the same studio was behind
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
its all aniplex so they may have had the rights in-house it probbaly would have taken a lot of networking to get the permissions though because you need the permission of the higher-ups at aniplex but you also need the permissions of every individual owner of those franchises the original writers, stuff like that very impressive first episode
S C
and also it's not necessarily enough to have the anime rights for something like this right? Like that Kanon is a game, so
the first scene is her recording a video begging the viewer to go to her apartment and destroy her computer without looking at the hard drive she's so REAL
Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
>>1100429 Don't Japanese have weird ip laws about using real properties?
Doujinshi fanworks are generally actually outside the law, too, but the IP holders look through the fingers cause it's a massive PR own goal to actually go after it (though Nintendo has a handful of times)
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
huh the plot of the manga is a semiautobiographical by a woman who did a lot of eroge/nukige/galge/vn art and the guy who did The World God Only Knows
Most notably the ToukoxTepig doujinshi series got a cease and desist basically And Mogudan too got asked, though without direct legal threats, to knock it off with his Ayanami stuff
S C
that last one is weird though cause Mogudan made A LOT of those and had more or less stopped by the time he got asked to stop anyway
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
I'm pretty sure he started again
S C
oh, maybe? I haven't really followed mogudan for a long time
Kirara "Ikkyū" 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i never heard about mogudan being asked to stop that, interesting
S C
Well, at least I have a memory of hearing that It might have been speculation as to why he stopped for all I know Was super long ago after all
it's gotta be rough to join a game studio cause you like drawing cute girls and you're relegated to drawing big titty milfs instead Not that they can't be cute too, but it's usually not the vibe
