hello kirara instead of waking up at 7 to do eight hours of work by 3, i have to wake up at one so i can spend four hours converting files because i can't do it during the day because saddle lighten turn it
and then i get to go back to sleep at 5 to get back up at seven i tripped over a cat and closed my hand in a metal door now all the tendons are sore and i have to WORK i'm just sayin this cuz nobody appreciates the shit i gotta go through
>>204696 i was backing out the door and dumb shit cat ran in between my legs and tripped me like a fuckin wooden stick someone would shove into the spokes of a bike in motion and i fell out the door, pulling the door into my hand i didn't fall over but i still tripped
rook
oh hello kirara I didn't have my glasses on I couldn't hear you
>>204701 haha there used to be people when i was tc'ing for rev that would send interviews and shit in to be tc'ed but because it's by the minute, they'd just speed up the file like 1.5x and pay $60 instead of $90 for a 90 minute file not realizing what a dumb idea that is
hey matty i just remembered me and jan were barking at you about goin to an anime con maybe we can intersect the goals and also do some VR shoots of an anime con somewhere i'll look for cons around that time and see what's there

Well maybe you won't even be born for the Mars landing in the eventual future.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
But we already landed on Mars. We've had bases there since the late 80s.
Just kidding! I'm not crazy enough to believe that. Mars isn't even real.
Anno
I knew a guy who I had to present serious evidence that we haven't had manned bases on Mars ever to. Even then he kind of regretfully consented that I was right about it. There's all sorts of crazy people all over the world.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
At least he gave in. Lots of people just claim the proof is a lie.
rook
when did "the moon landing is fake" turn into "we put people on mars"? the world makes no sense

I dunno man, when did "the world is round and orbits the sun" turn into "the world is flat and the universe orbits around it".

that first one is true though right? it must be, surely
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
the earth is flat but there's no universe really it's just an endless ocean

But now that you mention it USA does if memory serves lack infrastructure in the form of a direct east-west connection is that railway line even in use anymore?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but such is life when you have a mountain chain at about middle of your country limits road building quite much
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Unless you are Norway or Japan and don't just give a fuck
Anno
The Rockies aren't really in the middle of the country. You could cover a good 70% of the States in reliable infrastructure before hitting the mountain range. Ignoring the cost and time investment.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Well it still splits the east and west
rook
? I can drive east and west easily enough, my whole state is east and west florida likely doesn't have many east-west running highways because it's a really thin state running mostly north-south
Anno
Florida is relatively thin. I think having some major thoroughfares in population-dense parts of the state that run east-west would still benefit them though.
rook
google maps shows three really major ones with some smaller freeways in between it's not perfect coverage by any means but I don't think it looms that bad
>>204908 why doesn't anyone make animu with this kind of interesting styles anymore?
Anno
Do you mean the set pieces or the actual animation style?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Both or just either
Anno
Well the set pieces don't really work for long-form story telling well, you couldn't even really make a feature-length movie out of all that disjointed stuff. But indie animators are producing things like that all the time; you just need to know where to look.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but i more mean just the general art style last I can think of an anime that had an interesting style was elfhell
Anno
I think Masaaki Yuasa's unique style is always interesting. He's a director but his artistic touch is extremely apparently in how the animation and style works under his supervision. Apparent, even.
But generally people that are trying to market a product to sell are hesistant -hesitant to take risks like employing a unique artstyle. Stuff like that -does- turn off a lot of people. And the stuff that does employ usually ends up arthouse-y or, well, actually unpopular. Because like I said, playing with art style will disenfranchise a lot of potential viewers.
Kirara☆
>>204904 even as i left florida far enough far enough wasn't far enough
couldn't quite seem to escape myself far enough far enough far from florids
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>204915 But I guess misnomer here is "there is no anime" yeah there is anime with differing art styles, but I kinda ment here "sol anime" since those are anime that really do live by the visuals of the characters and sets more than some action oriented, where the animation is much more important still kinda fun how the mangaka for NewGame went from scenery porn to character moe
Kirara☆
you can leave florida but florida never leaves you ;_;
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>204920 >mats moves to mars >florida detaches and flies after
Anno
>>204919 Well you can't write a good manga on just scenery illustration skills alone. Especially in Japan, characters take the fore front of successful manga series. So it makes sense to focus on polishing the characters in whichever way you do best.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Yeah the previous manga wasn't really anything outside of scenery pron it had characters who were interesting and whose stories were interesting, but you really just got a glimpse of them and a world with quite interesting setting, but it never really went into it. Kinda wonder why they did it like that
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>204922 yeah that is why the mess called centaur no nayami is such a weird thing >invents a real weird setting and wants to tell about it and how it deals with racism >distracts less intrested people with monster girls living ordinary lives
rook
everyone born in florida has a piece of it deep in
Anno
Or like how Demi-chan does a really good job of handling monster people as if they're just normal people with special needs or physical disabilities. But also cute girls in SoL situations.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>204926 well demichan is better at that, since it actually does treat the characters as characters and not just "hey peons look at this glimmering shit" well not that centaurs characters are bad but really you immediately get the main interest of the author when you read say 10 chapters
Anno
I haven't even read one. Don't plan on it either. Didn't go for the anime airing this season either.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Don't fault you wouldn't recommend it to anyone except people like me who like exploring settings.
Anno
It's a shame since apparently it's super gay. But I'm not interested in centaurs in the slightest.
>>204930 Yeah that is alos the other fault >every other type is just nekomimi level of furry >main girl is 100% furry furry
Anno
On the other hand, you get shows like Shimoneta, which was really interesting with its science fiction dystopian world hidden behind the comical premise of banning dirty jokes and porn in general. But they did so much on demonstrating the world around them and how fucked up it was and kind of ignored the actual characters, relatively at least. So it's not surprising it didn't get much attention in Japan after the initial shock factor wore off.

Apparently a bunch of people have gotten their delivery copies early too. And a few spots across Europe have been selling it on shelves pre-release date.
I could go on the Nintendo e-shop apparently and get the game from them, but it only gives a totally Japanese copy of the game. So I guess I'll just wait for tomorrow. It'll be sunny anyway.

lol my bluetooth keyboard messes up so often

>>204988 I'm being totally serious. In the opening weeks of the Switch release, more people had bought copies of Breath of the Wild's Switch version than people had purchased actual Switch units. I don't know what's up with NoA but they've been putting out a lot of green lights for game releases.
And the Switch production shortage is directly out of Nintendo's hands so maybe if that wasn't a problem there would actually be way more Switch units on shelves.
>>204991 You Americans get a nice fancy Black Friday sale every year.

black friday is a CAPITALIST SCHEME REEEEEEEE
Anno
Only if you actually end up buying more things than items you already intended to purchase.

I mean I guess it's a successful scheme either way since the masses will grab up whatever they want as soon as they see it on sale. But people who aren't looking to just buy whatever can take advantage of sales.

Also they might stop working for older 3DS family models but don't count on it happening before the 3DS family gets deprecated. The number of games that only work for newXDS handhelds is an extremely small fraction of the library and doesn't show signs of increasing.

i think that starting early with a normal VR camera would be fine though
if they are competatively priced then we'll be able to afford one with the ad revenue from the videos we complete before then more likely
the cameras they're designing will make it hard to have a "driving experience" as well since only 180 degrees means you can't have the perspective be above the driver without losing half of the passenger seat wouldn't be very effective for on top of a vehicle either

>>205144 yeah if african union can actually get their shit together, africa will probably become a major superpower in the next 10-20 years they have the potential to become richer than US or China
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Nah there is too much division in there for it to be that quick
sk
>>205148 That's ridiculous Africa will start producing a ton of weapons and you just have to trust the government that they're a threat to you so they can invade and install someone who's better and less hawkish and dangerous!
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
it's the african union they'll be fine
>>205150 africa has more resources than china or US so oh i see yeah that might be true but american power is dwindling so they won't be able to do that in 20 years probably
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Also since it is an "union" it will eventually just EU itself into irrelevancy
Anno
>>205152 I dunno man, America has managed to go pretty well for two centuries being a union.
>>205151 It's literally the only way the US will be able to stay as wealthy as it is It's inevitable, your government is run by the very people whose income is at stake if developing countries go from developing to developed
the pentagon already admitted that the US is dying and losing its power over the world and their solution is to go really fucking hard in the military and do a lot of propaganda so our haydays are gone for good because pentagon doesn't get it
they realize that people are now resisting authority but their solution is to authority harder
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205151 Too bad china is already gobbling east african resources like it is the end of the great lent
>>205157 No, they're right though If you don't stop the people you're exporting all your poverty from developing their own functioning, independent economies, your system is gonna crumble
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
https://ssi.armywarcollege.edu/pubs/display.cfm?pubID=1358 you can read about it
sk
Like oh no, we can't pay them nothing for these things we're taking from them anymore That means prices go up in the US too And in order to keep maximizing profits, a larger portion of the poverty generated will fall on the US people
This isn't some sort of revolutionary idea Capitalism is inherently built on putting the poverty somewhere else
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205157 But this is actually the eternal solution of always works, to wards waning power and failing economy. Declare a war cause that always works
Anno
Well I don't really care what the global power dynamics are. As long as we continue towards affordable commercial space travel and extraterrestrial planet colonization I'm content with the progress of the world. I wanna fucking explore space.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Me neither as long as USSR doesn't return or russia go full impeiralism and that the global superpower(s) don't topple governments that work
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
it all comes tumbling down
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205164 Well if global government happens, that will never happen
sk
Colonizing another planet would probably help a lot We could just put all the poverty there instead
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>colonize mars >mars starts to do well >THE MARTIANS ARE COMING FOR US >THE RED IN RED PLANET IS FOR COMMUNISM
sk
>>205169 >mars starts exporting THEIR poverty to US Oh no
Anno
And then Aldnoah:Zero happens in real life.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but we don't have deus ex autism in real life so game over
Anno
YET.
Anno
In reality we'd probably get Iron-Blooded Orphans instead. Since there's obviously no magi-technology hyper gate in the Moon that goes to Mars.
Aldnoah was quite amusing series if you ignored practically all the earthling shit the martians were much more interesting.
sk
What's really gonna fuck shit up is if we actually get rid of oil dependence Oh man, shit will light on fire Do you realize how much of the prosperity we enjoy is based on oil? Cause it's a whole fuckin' lot
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>205174 i can't wait to hang out with some human debris
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205177 Why do you think Arabia bribes everyone? cause that will spell their end
Anno
>>205177 I mean you don't need to convince me. Our previous dumbass administration threw all our economic eggs in the oil barrel and that didn't go well for us. Clever countries are already looking for economic stability outside of oil, like how Dubai is speeding towards becoming a tourist destination as fast as possible.
RinTN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205180 Reminsd me of how gloriously spain collapsed with their "let's put all our eggs in silver"
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
oh SHIT
guys i'm a genius
what if we put all of our money into tech to CREATE oil
and then we take all the poor people that can't work anymore and we turn them into oil
sk
>>205180 No that's the problem You can't make your country stable in the face of oil becoming obsolete If the US isn't in on it, that's fucking it dude
Yeah we keep finding more and more of it to be precise
sk
I said obsolete, not unavailable
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
It isn't going to become obsolete there is too much money on it for the powers that be to allow that
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
yeah there's a global effort to ensure that it doesn't go obsolete
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
It is like going "hey guys what if we made gold obsolete
tha would just result in NO
sk
All it takes is one country to make it happen, and capitalism will do the rest, eating itself from the inside
Anno
And as it stands, even green technology requires some amount of oil to produce. Since everything needs plastics. Sure it's a drastically lower consumption but it's still a critical ingredient.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>205193 no country can make it happen and even if they did, they'd get destroyed by sanctions from other countries
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205193 No then the oil powers will nuke you say you have mustard gas and just invade or they will buy the invention and keep it locked in a safe
sk
>>205196 You can't nuke technology itself You can nuke the inventor People in the US will use the tech themselves, start companies, provide power using the new technology, and render oil less and less valuable
ToN
oh hi pastaman
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205197 you can buy it and bury it that is what car companies do with shit all the time and it isn't even evil per se they just prepare a large enough market share for the future, if oil suddenly stops running Why do you think it has taken like 30 years for bio diesel to become a thing they slowly let it come to the consumers
whatever replaces oil, will be poured into your car in fuel stations
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>205199 yeah this they've been doing this since the 70s
Anno
>>205199 Or electrically transferred into your car.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205201 Yup but basically the existing fuel station infrastructure isn't going anywhere and the big car and oil using industries neither they just reinvent themselves slowly
but they don't allow for a sudden upset no they buy you they hang you dry or outright kill you but they won't allow you to shuffle their deck
Anno
>Twitter >New Highlights from Barack Obama, etc... I don't even follow him. I don't even follow any politicians. The fuck is this Twitter I'm not interested in this.
Fucking hell. Have some respect you twat. Trudeau calls you the President.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
the white house also released an official statement referring to him as Joe Trudeau once
sk
Trump's complete lack of respect for the formalities involved in government is probably the most likable thing about him
Maria
I thought you were talking about Bieber and I was like wtf
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>205215 his complete lack of respect for other human beings and for the sanctity of the way government works is probably the least likable thing about him
Anno
>>205215 I don't agree. It does not take much effort to call someone by their title or position, and it indicates respect and validates the power granted by the position. Eschewing all that to be "buddy buddy and talk like common people" is fine in informal places. But doing so in a formal situation is undeniably rude and obnoxious.
sk
Naw I think the least likable thing about him is the actual policies he's pushing
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205209 no now you have a lot of money and a lot of smart investments with it norway is one of the biggest debt holders to other countries smart investments when the oil well runs dry
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
Wow this got really political all of a sudden
Howard Beach is a weird place so swampy
sk
>>205220 Money ain't helping much without going to the lower class somehow That's how you end up like the US
Investment doesn't have workers in your own country I mean it goes to the government, so it can slide further left, which I would enjoy, but that's gonna be a rough transition regardless
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205225 Isn't most of your oil government owned anyhow? sure if it goes poof that is a good amount of people with no jobs but if you are smart you can invent new fields for them or rather for the people who would take the jobs of people retiring from oil and just have oil industry slowly fade away with no one applying to it
sk
Yeah, but it has workers Workers put the money into the economy, into the hands of other workers Without that, you've just got money going into the state itself, which is fine if you slide to the left, but if you for some reason don't, you're kinda not getting much outta it
sk
The government will have to either just hand the money out or employ people somehow
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205228 or people just fucking invent new fields to find work on who knows maybe start looking for more metals in the mountains or start mass producing wave generators or whatever >>205230 We've gone from paper exporter to tech exporter to ship exporter to metal exporter to cell exporter to tech exporter to fuck we are making a lot of things exporter surely people can find new fields once the actual shit starts slipping into the fan that is how economies usually function, especially if the government can support the change though alternatively you can end up like venezuela
sk
If the field doesn't export, you're not solving the problem with losing oil as an export
Anno
>>205229 Next you'll become export exporters. Exporting exporting as an industry.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205231 Actually... there is a good deal of demand for just plain old "how to succeed like finns" in some countries... so does that count? Like for example exporting our school system
As long as you're not relying on importing anything, state employment can basically sustain itself indefinitely It's unrealistic though because all the fun shit is in Japan and the US
>>205244 gonna use my eyes to perceive how good this is
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205247 Explai nNorth Korea then? it would collapse in a sec without constant pumping of foreign aid
Anno
Though the Princess Principal OP itself is also really, really good too. I love how it opens.
sk
>>205253 because it's a fucking dictatorship whose ruling class has absolutely not a single care in the world for the well being of their people >>205256 Arm all the workers Make the state big, but weak
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>205255 And your big state wouldn't end up doing this? If it goes into complete isolation, it doesn't have to compete with anyone it can then just oppress the people all it wants

wait was aldnoah something I was supposed to watch
Anno
Probably not. There were some interesting things about it but the considerable majority of it gets pretty dumb.
It's like, they made Valvrave a few years before and that was pretty trainwrecky but got a bit disappointing in the second half aside from REMOVE BAKEMONO. But then they pulled out all the retarded stops for Cross Ange and came up with a masterpiece.
Also good music because NANA WILLS IT.

I tried to watch Brynhildr once and that didn't go well

Quality of work, maybe? I mean I don't know what standards are like there. But generally having a sufficiently higher level of quality can give a bit of leeway in time.

i had to transcribe an indian doctor today with broken english and who didn't speak in full sentences, or really in any sentences it was just kind of clump a bunch of nouns at the front of the sentence and then a bunch of "you know" and then some verbs at the end and most of the shit he was saying was p hard to understand in the first place and like i bet ten bucks this shit's gonna get returned to me and told that it's unreadable yeah no shit it's unreadable i transcribed what the man said and that's what it is >>205341 india indian, it's a doctor not that american indians can't be doctors but the entire population of india is one aggregate doctor
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
india indian or american indian
月
wait that doesn't quite make sense they're p much all doctors but the way i said it makes it sound like if you add them all up they might make up one doctor but that's not true, they tend to be pretty great doctors at least the ones i encounter in my work tend to have pretty solid medical opinions not as refined as the jewish doctors but still pretty good the jewish doctors are unreal
Anno
They're good at what they do but it can be some times difficult to open a dialogue with them. Heavy Indian accent is one of the toughest things for me to decipher some times. I think the only thing that's ever trumphed it for me is super heavy Greek accentuation trying to speak English. I had a music teacher in middle school that also lived in my neighbourhood. So much of trying to converse with him was him saying something totally unintelligible to me and me nodding and a vocal agreement.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
i want to be a native american witch doctor

>>205343 the syllable enunciation is too bouncy when it's a heavy accent, it's basically bitonal speech and that makes it really, really difficult for english ears to make sense of it because there's not the fluidity of the sentence and smooth distinction between words, it's just syllable identification and measured word construction from that point
