hello /moe/.

BLOG POST - PLEASE IGNORE

I was never particularly attracted to being a normie
but I wanted to do it
to prove to myself. prove to others.
that i could do it
that I wasn't somehow deficient
that I chose to live the way I live, and if I wanted to go out and join my peers the only thing stopping me was my lack of interest.


but nights like tonight make me wonder
maybe I can't.
maybe I just inherently lack something that most people who go out and have fun seem to have

It bothers me
a little.

i think that if we could be normies, we would be
i don't think normies could end up in a place like this
even if we can act and look like a normie sometimes, we're here because there's something different about us

we might be lacking something others have in their heads but we have other stuff to make up for it

I'm a normie
don't @ me if you're some weeb sperglord

>>413021
show us your normie card, then

I like normal things like action movies, music and anime.

i bet you like things that aren't normal and also behave in ways that aren't normal too though

I do have a rather healthy obsession with large breasts yes
but doesn't everyone like unnormal things

no everyone except us is basically a clone

>>413020
i guesso.
that makes me feel a little better actually.

here's the thing - i didn't even spurge out or drop my spaghetti
I just went to this normie party thing - a toga party they were having on campus
and the whole time there was a voice in the back of my head saying 'this is totally shithouse. I'm bored lets go home.
and then there was another voice saying 'No. You came here to have 'fun'. start having fun. what the fuck is wrong with you. start enjoying yourself. stop being so fucking stiff. Loosen up. talk to people. enjoy yourself. '

and then I left 20 minutes later.
because it was pretty shithouse

they do that toga stuff in australia too? never knew

that do that everywhere i think
at least in the west it seems pretty common

>>413028
yeah, i think it's easy to feel guilt or shame or something in those situations where you just aren't connecting with the situation in the same way everyone else is
but not everyone enjoys that shit
you don't see people who feel like you did there because they stay home or do something else

>>413029
American culture infects the world like a virus

I haven't seen it in the netherlands, but perhaps I don't go to the right parties

I think imats is pretty spot on
I've also walked out of parties before, but have also attended many to the end
but no shame in doing other shit, I have a few friends who don't drink and never party either

we gotta follow our own hearts
can't live someone else's life
don't lose your waaaay

i mean, how many of those schmucks at the party have done half of the shit you've done
they probably wouldn't even enjoy it or entertain the idea of it
but it's still cool as hell even if normies can't appreciate it

>Loose Tweets Sink Fleets

>>413036
haha

imats-san you still enjoying that kratom stuff?

yeah, sometimes
i dont use it that frequently because it's a really big time commitment

yeah I feel ya, it's one of the reasons why I've only done it twice so far
same thing with shrroms, but I may partake in those again this weekend
I'm dogsitting, so I'll have some good trip I hope. my mum's house is perfect for it, it's big and lives near nature

>>413035
thanks, man I needed that.

Who needs drugs when you have ANIME BABES

I choose to partake in both
first a line of anime babes and then some coke

Well at least it's not Pepsi

>>413042
damn right.

>>413043
line of coke off a line of anime girls

>>413040
it's crazy how much of a time commitment drugs are sometimes
it's like you gotta schedule it in lmao

>>413041
we all have those days, man

yeah for sure
sometimes you can combine things though, like I sometimes chill with some mates when I'm stoned
they don't even notice all of the times

I bet you wish your wind team was cute like mine

>>413047
what fucks me up is that like, i can't drive if im on anything so im stuck at home generally if i take anything
and my days are basically like 2 hours of free time in between a class or two and then like three more hours of class
and some days i have to provide therapy and i sure as hell can't walk around the clinic with drugged up looking eyes

imagine me trying to talk to substance abuse counselors with pinhole pupils lol

>>413049
ah yeah that's quite different
I love in a relatively small city, so everything is cycling distance
and I'm pretty much free every night after like 18h

>>413053
i dont get high at all but the pupils make it obvious so i have to be careful

a cop or client or colleague would

I definitely feel a certain high, especially about half an hour after taking it
start to feel it in my head, but it's very different from weed

the FDA just said that kratom is deadly because there have been 44 deaths in the last year

but most of those deaths weren't attributed to kratom

government is trying to prep people for outlawing it again

well attempting again

government people sure hate weed I mean drugs for some reason
do they never use it themselves?

they use it all the time but they're also being paid to get it outlawed and know laws don't apply to them

I really like the chocolate milk tip you gave me
it doesn't really dissolve well in it though, still get small aggregates that float in it

yeah, that texture can be kind of gross haha

weed and shrooms taste terrible too, so at least I'm used to it but still would be nice if it tasted like sugar

they make kratom chocolate

I could make kratom brownies I guess
I think that would be fairly homogenously mixed together with the flour and sugar

yeah, maybe
I'd be worried about figuring out how much is fine to eat though
if you go too far the kratom will fuck you up and make you sick for like 8 hours

yeah that's always difficult, gotta try small bits first I guess
that's what I do when I make marijuana edibles too, I just take a small piece and see how it feels
but with kratom there's a little more risk
especially fi you don't mix it well and some parts of the brownies have a lot more and other almost none

20k feathers but I don't know who I want to promote
This game will never give me another Sheena again...

>>413069
yeah, i dig
buying kratom chocolate is probably safe but i bet it's harder to eat than it normally is to drink

>>413071
can still be risky
I read an article where they tested weed edibles and a lot of them had incorrect thc contents
same with those cbd oils, some didn't even have anything

yeah true
it's fucked up that everything is so unsafe because it's illegal

>>>/@elakdawalla/961043701282713601

anyone listened to some C93 stuff yet?

>>413075
yeah but mostly what I'm already invested in rather than a lot of things

7 hours of C93 stuff

ah right Disc 2 of AD PIANO Noir
I haven't played it yet

my c93 experience is really just me playing LAZ's Candle Magic 11.3 remix followed by Nhato's Usagi Daibakuhatsu remix on Solar

And then replaying Game is Over from LIVES like 10 times.

>>413077
>>413078
any albums you can recommend? I downloaded some from artists I know already, not much other stuff yet

Felt, Diao ye zong, Shibayan, Feryquitous, Diverse System's AD Piano, POP|CULTURE 7, Tamaonsen's LIVES, Diverse System's DEPTH
Liz Triangle

I'll check some of them out, only know about FELT already

Shibayan's Solar is a Remix album.
...I'm fairly sure you probably know some Shibayan.
probably not by name but most likely

ugh, GW2 crashing

ArenaNet decided to troll my profession today.
We got lots of trait changes that screw with a few builds of mine but a particular trait in here is ... quite the joke.
About a year ago, they were doing balance changes for the profession's Elite Specialization "Scrapper". Saying that things were not being used as optimally as they should because the effects seemed all over the place. The scrapper was supposed to be about control effects like stuns, dazes, and etc but they removed a lot of the dazes and stuff and added MORE DAMAGE. They said that they wanted to establish the "Purity of Purpose" for the skills. It became a great annoyance to many of us who actually liked the control (extra damage was nice though).

Anyway, now the new changes have a lot of new traits and removed traits that no one was using.
One of the new traits is called "Purity of Purpose".
And it's quite the funny trait because it's tied to one of the things that Engineers were notoriously bad at: Condition Cleansing.
It's a REALLY GOOD TRAIT, mind you. But they removed the trait that cleanses when you use an Elixir and now Cleanses are harder to do so it's just... ????????????????????????????????????

On top of all this, I've been crashing constantly for weeks now.
I thought it was just a post patch problem but I'm remembering now that this happened like four times last time I played.

people are really trashing my recruiting test
it's kind of a bummer
i put a lot of time and hard work into that

>>413086

Maria, did you ever start watching those calculus lecture videos?
If you did (or intend to) I have a recommendation for a place to do practice problems.

I started one and then I turned it off

Y tho?
Is this the time it crashed or another time?

Maria
Water you doing right now?

moe is it rude to quit a dishwashing job after just two shifts because it's shit
also where did my name go

>>413128
absolutely nothing

>>413130
What'd you say
Thing is they told me that there weren't gonna be any other kitchen hands on my sunday shift and I don't just wanna fuck everyone else over

no I once quit a job after one shift

>>413129
he asked me if I was going to come back tomorrow and I answered with "no"
you could do your sunday shift and then quit, or already say you quit but also tell them you are willing to work sunday

It depends on your personal situation
It could be extremely rude.

>>413132
what's dependent on my personal position
What aspects

If, say, you were without a job for quite some time, finally managed one, and then immediately quit, and were a burden onto your friend or roommate as a result, that's no good.
You're maybe not being rude to the place who hired you as much as those people though.

Still probably a little rude to the person who hired you though.
>>413135
That's a different personal situation then

I live with my parents and just wanted a summer job before I go back to uni. I haven't actually signed any paper work either they just had me do one shift last night

God
I fucking hate mdf furniture so goddamn mmuch
*much

There's a laser technology conference near me soon
Two actually, but registration costs hundreds of dollars
I think they're both for manufacturing technologies

Oh wait there's a subset that you can get in for $50

Yes

>>413140
No

I do not enjoy being alive

I got an email back from that company, but I'm too nervous to read it right now.

>>413135
Just say you don't think the job is for you and apologize.
They have other potential dishwashers.

Is the dishwashing life a tough one?

Stop dishwashing you're taking away jobs from the robots

When I came up with a relatively simple partially automated dishwashing device (not a dishwasher machine) as an idea for an assitive technology for people with dexterity issues or other motion limiting stuff my dad said it was useless because he knew a girl who had no arms who would wash dishes with her feet.

The real reason automated dishwashing devices are useless is because you can throw a part timer out when it breaks but you have to fix the machine.

Listen kid everything's eventually going to be replaced with robots you and I included

I have a job that robots won't replace, fortunately.

>this is what people actually believe
Although from what little I know about your job I do think you're safe.
You'll probably be dead by the time the technology being sold is that advanced.

No I will make sure it will be replaced

Just for the sake of proving what I said because I don' tlike being wrong

>>413153
If I get replaced, that means we'll have robots that completely emulated people.
If we get to that point no one will have to work!
Or everyone will be dead and there will only be robots.

robots might not want to work if they're basically people
it'd just be like having a larger labor pool

>robots might not want to work
we're not gonna program them with emotions and shit dude

sounds like they can't do rikas job then

Anyways my profession will probably be safe about as long as any. Excluding super *some super niche stuff maybe.

They can't take my job if they don't have emotions and shit.

Well
Technically they don't have to have emotions, they just need to seem like they do.
But I'm not going to get into that.

they just have to imitate and preceive emotions and react accordingly

if their emotional expression is the same as a human's, we can't really claim they don't have emotions

>>413162
>>413163
How does that make them any different than normies, then?
Normies can do my job, sometimes.

>>413164
You can program a robot to smile but that doesn't mean that it's feeling happiness

>>413166
i can smile but that doesn't mean im feeling happiness

>>413164
>>413166
That means it doesn't neccesarily feel happiness.

>>413167
let's not get too real here brah

>>413169
Too late
You already started it

Kirara what would you do if someone walked into the therapist room and said "i don't know why I'm here my mum just told me to go here and she already paid for the session"

how old are they

>>413172
21

That's not really surprising.
People in their 20s usually don't have a lot of independence from their parents these days.

ask them what they want to do with the session time

>>413173
why do you ask

>>413176
you can probably work it out

>>>/watch?v=i_tGuYNlCQ8

>>413177
did your mum at least give you a hint as to what she wants you to get out if it

>>413179
I think she said something about
I forgot

Oh yeah it was about me not making any social connections

she wants you to have like normie friends or something?

Please don't bring "normie" stuff into this.

it sounds like that's what she wants so im asking if that's what she wants

It fucking isn't you chode. She wants him to have friends.
In this context its not neccesarily "normie" friends.
It would be a disservice to him if you brought "normie" stuff into this, because he respects you as a person in this field.

>>413182
No she wants me to have any friends
Or any sort of relationship outside of the family and the internet

>>413186
and what do you want

>>413187
i don't really care if I have irl friends but I feel like the social isolation might bite me in the ass later and that I'll have failed to develop critical social skills or something

If
Hrrm

>>413188
That might be what you want to tell the therapist

I think you should talk about this with your therapist
And maybe not bring it here right now.

As someone who has historically socially isolated themselves I can attest to it interfering with social skills. Well not neccesarily but it can happen.

you're good lads

I don't believe that social skills are a thing.
Social anxiety is though, contact with people can help you not feel the anxiety.

Are social skills a spook?

social skills are definitely a thing
Social skills training teaches people a lot of useful skills that can improve social interaction, like improving rate of speech, nonverbal behaviors, tone, better navigating conversations
Many times people have anxiety about social situations because they lack skills

Also Rika that's really really funny that you believe that.

Like you have absolutely no idea how much fucking therapy I needed before I was able to interact with people properly much of the time.

Isolate someone their whole life then stick them in a social situation see how well they do

>>413199
It's anxiety that will sink them there, though.

Okay, what if hypothetically they don't have social anxiety.
But they still don't interact "properly" in social situations.
What then?

>>413200
ser >>413196

a lot of people lack social skills and don't have social anxiety too

People without anxiety seem to do mostly fine even if they're a little boorish.
I think anxiety is the biggest obstacle to interacting well with people.

hello yes this is ton

>>413204
for some people, that is the primary problem
for others, it is not

>>413205
how can you be so certain

I made the mistake of telling someone in my cohort, well, a few people, that a friend had completed suicide over the weekend.
Now everyone seems to know about it and everyone is offering me their "thoughts and prayers" and offering me support which is very kind of them but I'm also being treated like I'm fragile, now.
Someone asked me if I thought I'd be okay to attend class today because we were talking about suicide assessment and a professor pulled me aside and told me I could skip class if I needed to because she was worried the suicide assessment stuff might trigger me.

I appreciate and am humbled by the concern I'm being shown but I don't like being treated like I'm fragile. It's a really weird feeling.

does it feel condescending
is that the word

that is probably the word you're going for

Nah. They're really, genuinely concerned.
I've been getting messages since Monday evening about it and people offering to help me however they can.
Someone offered to bring me food and told me I should stay home.
It feels so strange. I'm not used to kindness like this.
Is this what normal people get from their peer groups?

I don't really understand why they're so adoring of me. Sometimes it feels unrealistic.
I've been trying to figure out if they've been fucking with me by loving me so much, like, pretending or something, but it always seems like they legitimate are just incredibly fond of me.
But it's weird that they're so fond of me because I didn't socialize with them until I'd already known them for two semesters and even then I barely did until recently. But they liked me before I opened up to them.

I like to joke that I have A rank charisma skill or something but it really does seem bizarre to me that I'm beloved like I am by people I barely know.
I try not to be suspicious about it because I know I get suspicious really easily.

>>413211
I don't think it's an abnormal reaction to have when someones friend dies

>>413213
I guess I'm the weird one
I've never had people I know offline really support me in hard times
Every time I've tried to open up to a friend group, they've shut me down

Yeah, I think that's a pretty normal reaction.

Back when Teacup died, i didn't really have a friend group, but I managed to get one in the months following it so one time I tried to open up about her death to them and they basically ignored me
They just dismissed it

>>413214
I dunno what was going on with your previous friend groups then

>>413216
Well, telling someone you're in their thoughts and prayers and giving them an easy time in class is easy.
The stuff you went through with Teacup was heavy, really heavy.
People love making those easy little gestures and helping just a little bit, but they recoil from the heavy stuff.
Most people get freaked out and distant when confronted with the really heavy stuff.

>>413214
i know how that feels
i had a hard time finding the support i needed a lot too

>>413218
My cohort has been really supportive and interested in learning about Teacup and Saku's deaths even though they're heavy things
They've offered me support there too
They've all been offering me an ear to talk to too

>>413219
I'm sure I've been guilty of dismissing you when you've needed support

Well, I think it's great that they're offering you support.

I've generally found that people are willing to help up to a point, but most aren't willing to cross the line when you're up with someone until 3 AM staring into their soul even though you have work the next day.
Only the best of friends are willing to take on your burdens as if they were their own.

It's nice but it's really uncomfortable
I've never had that kind of support before
I've never been treated like I was fragile before
Like when my grandfather died, I had professors telling me i need to come to class after the funeral, /// well, they let me go to the funeral but told me the day after the funeral, I had to be in class

I feel like I've never actually been treated like a human being until recently and now I have a learn to be a person even though personhood has always been denied to me
People have been so eager to advocate for me and help me with whatever I need and I have to learn how to stop being so self-reliant and count on other people now

It kind of sucks

I think feeling a little a bit uncomfortable with that sort of thing is normal.
You're more person-like than you think!

I didn't mean to spoil this.

>>413223
I dunno.
I think I'm broken in ways I didn't realize until recently.

I'm going to take a wrench to you

>>413224
Well, in this situation your reaction is pretty normal.
People don't like being made to feel fragile. It makes them feel vulnerable.

I'm sure most people would not feel so astounded that it's happening, though.
And I think I'm probably affected by it more than the average person, too.

Well, it is pretty normal.

If you say so

I know so!

What do you drink with your meals?

>>413234
this

I'm probably quitting my D&D group.
I've been in it on and off (mostly on) for about a decade.
But the DM is kind of a dick and unrepentant about it.
Part of it is that people are hesitant to give him hard actual feedback on anything because he can be sensitive about some stuff (in a really weird way).
Also pretty much every time I'd given him all the feedback I wanted to he started crying.

I should look into good teas.

I asked because I'm considering cutting down on soda even though I've swapped to strictly diet around once ad ay if that (as opposed to old habits), but realized that I don't really "enjoy" drinking water.
Like water is really good at quenching your thirst but I don't enjoy the taste.
I don't dislike it, but I don't like it, you know.
>>413238
I've tried stuff like that and honestly they make them taste worse to me.

You can buy powders that make your water taste fruity and stuff.
I don't really like them, though.

Tea is really good.
I recently picked up some Darjeeling and it's wonderful.

I tried that lipton green tea prepackaged stuff but I am very well aware that's not what you're drinking.

Lipton's black tea is drinkable, but I don't really like it much.

Twinnings is a brand that's really good and easy to find.
They have a combo pack that comes with 5 varieties of black tea, four or five of each variety.
I'd recommend trying that to get a feel for what you like.

You'll also want o play with sugar and stuff.
I find Earl Grey is best with a bit of milk and one sugar, while the Irish Breakfast is fine without sugar. I like one sugar in Orange Pekoe and two in Darjeeling and Yorkshire.
I don't put any sugar in green.

>>413237
Diet soda is bad for you in different ways than regular soda.

>>413241
Oh I'm aware.
But my primary concern was calorie intake.

I think some people also put honey in their tea.

Yeah, it's not really my style, so I don't know which teas benefit from it most, but it's definitely a popular way to take your tea.

Wait
I have a solution
Don't drink anything
Just use a saline IV

drink everything

There's also stuff like vitamin water.
Not sure about the calories but i think it has less than soda.

>>413246
i wonder how easy it is to get fat off soylent

>Lilina
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

>>413248
Well
Soylent Green is people.
So it depends on how fat the people its made of were.

Also my shoulder hurts
Not in a "wow this hurts so much I can't focus" way
But a "huh whenever i try to do things with this arm its seems to hurt" in addition to the background dull pain

>>413248
i wonder how easy it is to switch to soylent and not destroy your health

Depends on how healthy the people its made from were.

ive been thinking about trying soylent for a while now just for a meal when im short on time but the idea of them disgusts me

>>413252
are there dangers associated with switching too fast?
i assumed you just started chugging

>>413254
what about those instant breakfast drinks? i used to put em in protein shakes and they were good
like really thick choclate milk

>>413256
that makes sense

>>413255
going from eating solid food to nothing but liquids makes people get sick with soylent
some people get really messed up from it until their body acclimates
but then you get fucked up if you eat solid food again

Huh
Apparently it's not allowed to be imported into canada.

Doesn't meat their requirements for their FDA equivalent.
*meet

>>413254

>>413259
this is a silly edit

>>413262
How would you get it up to 99?

>edit
y-yeah

you can tell its not real
because falchion and x4

Somebody doesn't know about the datamine

oh, does his falchion upgrade make it brave?

I haven't seen it directly but apparently alm's is brave with 16 mt

More importantly valentine's seasonals

wow, finally seasonal characters from an older game
that roy is cute

give Lilina
g-giiiive

I don't see anything in the datamine about the weapon upgrades though

I wonder if I'm calm enough to check my email yet.

so i still doubt that image

I'm going off /vg/ so take it with a grain of salt

Where are the images?

>>413274
gamepress

fucked up that roy is a horse archer though

>another horse archer
>another lyn

at least we're getting that sexy hector and eliwood

I wonder who will be thrown into the tempest

Also, Kirara
There have been things like Soylent for a while.
They just aren't memes. For lack of a better word.

>>413279
doesn't look like there will be one unless i missed something in the data mine

>>413280
i know

Fucking hell
An astronaut snuck a corned beef sandwich into the rocket for his buddy during the Gemini III mission.

Huh
Apparently food tastes different in space.

that was the one that died recently, John Young

>>413284

Yeah

i wish but even with the new weapon and fury 3 she only has ~40 atk

Yeah, Felicia has fatally low attack, I think.
For her to be good, she would need like a brave dagger, and you could spam ignis.

or iceberg or whatever

>>413293
Seems like she got the worst of the falchions.
I guess I will build Alm.

>three years and over a million dollars

>>413303
How is +4 to every stat bad?

>>413305
I think it's okay but it won't stack with things like fury or goad skills.
I just tihnk Alm's is better.

>>413306
??????
it will absolutely stack with fury

why wouldn't it stack with fury

I thought on-attack buffs didn't stack.

fury is a flat buff

Fury is constant

and yeah alm is obviously the best he always is

as someone with like 50 fury characters, I can confirm fury is constnat

Well, maybe it will be okay.

my falchion healing battery alm with aether
will be getting those sweet extra hits in constantly

XDsachs looks pretty interesting though. >>413298
Lots of competition with red armor though.

i need to get more mats for alm's upgrade

Okay the email had good news.

Alm looks like he will be really good.

As is the natural order of things.
He is, after all, my husbando.

enjoy your husbando

just here to fight

hector truly is the best

[distant counter]

probably won't have it

this Hector is too sexy to kill anyway

>>413318
what was it?
did those tech dudes respond?

>>413249
aren't you happy

>>413327
If I roll her yes

Guys what the fuck
I'm a CAT

oh no

what do i do meow

become a cat idol

nobody cared who i was until i put on the ears

If I pulled them off would you die

probably not

You're a big garfield

>>413306
during combat buffs stack
The ones that don't stack are the ones that increase out of combat.
goad stacks
hone doesn't
lucina's falchion stacks

also fury is a base stat increase and doesn't count as a "buff"

for lasagna

goat stacks

ravens weapon is hauteclere equivalent
caeda's wing sword is effective against armor and cavalry
both are 16 damage

Ah the grape ape
you never fail to amaze

ecksachs ability doesn't affect dragons lol what a devoted guy

Distant Def 18 on my boy Zeph

the dream

>>413343
Oh neat, I guess they are planning new events.

That >>413342
? ? ?
is probably the town building thing they're thinking about.

yeah, i think so too

Still don't know who I'm upgrading.
I have 4* of each of the people with new weapons.
I probably won't go with Raven since I just rolled Minerva and 5* Michalis (which I wouldn't have done if I got that Minerva first)

i need to upgrade alm's sword

I have a bunch of feathers around but haven't really used them.
I may put a blade tome on summer corrin.
That's really the only upgrade plan I have right now.

I like this game

I also kidn of like that game.
Seihou is pretty ok
Vivit's second theme is probably one of my favorite ZUN tracks

>>413354
Shuusou Gyoku's OST is pretty top notch. My favorite tracks are probably the stage 3 theme and Vivit's final theme.

>>>/watch?v=BRBEWWPzQiM
specifically this version

>>>/watch?v=lVlsF9TGwtI
>>>/watch?v=CZAw1qTrgbY

>>413326
Yeah we're tentatively meeting next week.

>>413358
Hello.

I got dinner.

Huh, apparently my CD player can display song names. I've had it for like 10 years and never knew.
(I got it used so I never saw the box or manual)

>>413361
what kind of dinner

Fuck, my fucking shoulder still hurts and now my forearm and the right side of my neck.

>>413363
ravioli

That sounds comfy

I've been getting crap like this since the new updates.

>>413367
?
what's the issue

>>413360
Yo.

>>413368
Posts are supposed to stack neatly on top of each other.

>>413370
that's a feature, not a bug

>>413370
not in a dual thread

A what thread?

What does that even mean?

>>413369
How are you?

>>413374
This has been a feature for months. See at the top where it says [dual] in the OP?
There's a way you can switch the side your posts come in on.
It's dual sides.

>>413375
I'm okay. How are you?

>>413375
you scared me

>>413370
Sometimes dual thread makes things weird.

>>413376
Oh
I'd always thought it was an occasional glitch or something.

>>413379
How do you burn tomato sauce?

wait did ton burn tomato sauce

>>413382
you don't remember this story?

Didn't he?
It was when he tried to make spaghetti.

I don't remember it but thats impressive

>>413376
Decent enough.

>>413377
Boo!

One of the first times I cooked at the apartment I was making spaghetti and burnt the sauce.

You really need to get over that and try cooking again.
Cooking is really satisfying to do right.

Heh
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/02/07/asa_to_poundland/

>>413386
That's good. Anything interesting going on?

>>413388
Oh I know, I'm not going to never cook again just from that.
But it is funny that I tried and immediately just went "yeah I can keep the heat on this sauce indefinitely and nothing will go wrong, right?"

>>413390
I'm trying to decide whether to play Seihou or do homework.

What kind of homework?

>>413393
Database stuff. I switched to online-only classes, which is a pretty major load off my back.

>>413395
Cyberpunk ethic

Living in the database

Also
The Manga Guide to Databases is actually a decent book.
As an introductory text

Is there a Manga Guide to Game Engine Development?

If there is it hasn't been translated to english
Probably

Also if you actually plan on doing that I hope you already know how to program.
Cause a book on game engine development wouod most likely not cover programming basics.

I know the basics, though I'm a bit rusty.

Also I need to get better at memory management, if I were to make a game engine I'd probably do it in C.

Good
C is great
Also if you're talking about memory management you're likely already a better systems programmer than me.

I've mainly used garbage collected languages.

programming?

>>413402
I took a class in C and found it pretty enjoyable, but most of my experience is unfortunately in Java.

>>413403
Programming.

Symphogeah?

>>413404
Sasuga Java

Most of my experience is in Mathematica, followed by Octave (free matlab) which is basically C syntax wise, and then Java, then C and python

I'm going to try Julia soon, and need to learn Python for a thing and got a copy of K&R so I may actually lesrn C rather than just sort of winging it.

Lilina isn't free, there goes that dream

just spend money on her

>>413409
Save your orbs!

>>413408
Python is my favorite scripting language, but I haven't used it for anything too big.

>current orbs: 0

In Python I wrote some stuff that didn't fully work from one of those "the last two digits of your post number decide your programming project"
But I have fixed other people's python programs that I needed to use.

I killed my first Kirin.

>>413392
What's the downside of playing?

>>413416
A little, but it was surprisingly easy.
It wasn't aggressive enough to press me because my playstyle is evasive and Kirin's attacks are mostly pinpoint accuracy.
So I could just move a little and keep attacking.

Feels pretty good, eh.

>>413414
I need to do more programming in general. I was working on a fork of Clover a while back and that was the last project I touched, but I haven't worked on that in almost 9 months now.

>>413415
I'd have to do homework a different day.

Same

I stopped for the most part after losing my Mathematica license.

>>413415
Yeah, it's kind of neat how certain monsters are easier or harder for people.
I have a lot of trouble with a lot of the lightning monsters like the Kirin, or ones that aren't in World yet like Zinogre or Khezu.
I was ROTTEN at fighting the Khezu in Freedon Unite until I needed one of their parts for a Longsword I was trying to build.
And the resulting grind to get that part made me damn good at killing them.

>>413411
I spend my orbs when there are cute girls on the banner

I also need to study Japanese more. Haven't done that in well over 9 months.

>>413420
I think Kirin would have been really hard if I had a different play style.
One of the few attacks that actually hit me stunned me, and it has those AOE lightning strikes around it so being close to it could be pretty dangerous.

The hardest thing for me so far is the Lavasioth.
Harder than elder dragons!
I can't effectively dodge it because it seals off my room with those trails of lava as it goes around me in circles and it has these big lava AOE projectiles that I don't time well enough to avoid damage from.

In the past I've found a lot of the Elder Dragon fights to not be hard, per se, but long, endurance-testing slogs.
It's easier to avoid mistakes but you spend more time risking them and they're more punishing than wyverns and other species.
Of course there's exceptions to this though.

I don't think I've fought many Lavasioth, but I don't like fighting in the Volcano/Lava-y maps they tend to show up on.
Too many environmental hazards.

>>>/@nanakusanazuna3/961219974453800960

I've fought two Elder Dragons so far. Nergigante, who was pretty hard until I dedicated some time to fully mastering my bow.
And Kirin.
Nergigante is really aggressive but his targeting priority is kind of wonky and he didn't spend as much time coming after me as he should have.
But he was really fun in that Dark Soulsy adrenaline kind of way where you know you gotta dodge nearly every attack or you'll die and those narrow dodges get really exciting.

I have Kushala Daora and Teostra unlocked but I haven't fought them yet because I want to get a proper dragon weapon with Elderseal.

My favourite Elder Dragons to fight are the ones that are sheer titanic in size compared to the player character.
They're not particularly challenging but there's something totally awesome about fighting a mountain of a monster like that.
It looks like World already has at least one in its monster list. I hope they add some of the older ones to the game.

Oh yeah, Zorah Magdaros is really big. I've fought that too.
It's really cool how you can run around on its back and stuff.

There's this one Elder Dragon that's only shown up in one of the MMOs which is beyond crazy huge.
Nope, Wikia's too much of a piece of shit to find it.
But it's a long, wurm-style dragon that's long enough to wrap around the entire arena you fight it in.
I've always been sour that they never made it to the main series.

>>413430
this doesn't even work with that facial expression

>>413431
It totally does
She's smiling with contempt
Look at the posture, she's looking down on whoever she's looking at

play with a group of dishes

>>413434
It's a slight smile, but I see smugness in it
The eyes are gentle, but only because she knows she doesn't have to fear garbage. They don't show disgust but pity

>>413429
that's pretty awesome sounding

>>413435
ill accept it

>>>/watch?v=WYCXnCm_TG8
Oh there is this though, for an idea of how ridiculous some of the monsters get in relative size.

this guy is wearing a shirt that says cisnormative culture is a burden

>>413438
this makes me wish mhw had more monsters

Yeah with any luck the super-warm reception World has had will drive them to add in a bunch of the classic monsters like some of the ones from here.

yeah, five mil copies in just the first week

they did say they're planning for regular updates starting in spring

The critical numbers are how many copies they've sold outside Japan though.
MonHun selling super-well in Japan is pretty par the course. It's not uncommon for the game to be a console seller for a lot of people too.
How well it's doing in the rest of the world is the most important.

I can't find my garbage picture but that's totally the wrong expression.

Should I take up a name? Would you guys mind that? Prefer it?

>>413444
Looks like it's no 1 selling game in UK right now.

>>413446
Do what makes you happy.
You can use a name if you want.

>>413445
Def.

From what I've seen it's doing really well on XBOX too, hitting really high sales numbers on its best selling boards.
And generally the reception I've seen has been exceptional too.

>>413446
I dunno you tell me
Do you think you should wear a name?

It's not even out on pc yet too

Yeah that too.
It's probably not as relevant for Japan but for international markets a good slice of the potential market is probably holding off for the PC release too.

When it had sold 5 mil copies on the 31st, only like 2 mil were from Japan, it looks like.
But foreign sales have gotten bigger since then.

>>413447
>>413449
I don't want to seem like I'm "forcing my way in" or anything.

>>413453
lol that's what I did
Just talk to people. If you want to be recognized, wear a name. /moe/'s been starved of new blood so it's not like people would object to it

>>413446
i mean there's not really enough people that normally come here for you to be actually anonymous
do as thou wilt

>>413453
It'll be fine.
We'll know you're you even if you don't use a name.
Do what makes you feel more comfortable.

This Minerva is -at
k
I'm upset

why do my axe units come

>>413454
>>413455
>>413456
Fair enough. I've used names in other places before, just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be a nuisance in doing so here.

Forgot to actually put it on though, lol.

Just do you.
If you happen to overstep your bounds somehow, someone will let you know and then we'll get over it.

>>413456
I might not
It takes me a bit to recognize which anon is which

>>413462
I have the worst anondar

Everyone knows who I am.

Maybe, mine is pretty bad.

Bang?

>>413464
I don't know
But what really matters is your plan

obvs sugoi

I have an okay anondar but I'm just getting to know you folks.

I can recognize some people but it may take a few posts.

I can also tell from images sometimes.
Like Dutch

Chorogon

I really like Tohru.

All dragons are good chorogons

>>413476
Maybe.
Because there's some dragons I wouldn't touch.

>>413476
Maybe

It'd probably take a long time of being around the dragon before I'd even consider considering it.

>>413476
yes if fafnir

Also I'm assuming that this is a dragon of the sort commonly portrayed in fiction that can change between a dragon form and a humanoid form.

>>413476
I'd be the Kobayashi to her Tohru. But I'd also be the Tohru to Patchouli's Kobayashi if Koakuma weren't already filling that role.

>>413476
I DON'T KNOW
CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW

Did you know thqt Frankie Munez doesn't remember being on that show?

>>413483
And, y'know.
If Touhou characters weren't FICTIONAL.

What do you think kobayashi would do if someone NTRd tohru from her?

>>413486
NO DON'T GO THERE
NOOOOOOOO

>>413486
I can think of a few that are technically real people.

>>413486
#gotem
those 2hus are all just fictional
dragons are real though

>>413486
Not a problem for my self insert fanfics

>>413486
not an argument
>>413485
no why is that

>>413487
1. Try not to cry
2. Cry a lot

See >>413497

hello. how are you?

>>413501

>>413503
She's the cutest girl this season!

I'm doing okay. Still warmly waiting for the weekend!

>>413504
please refer to >>413504

>>413504
>>413506
Who are you quoting?

>>413507
I didn't qoute anyone

I swear I see Rika on here so much I forget she has a fulltime job

>>413505
She's good, but Rin is more my style.

Yeah, I can't wait for the weekend.

Nadeshiko's onee-san is super my style.
We need more of her around.

You guys post so much cute stuff kyaaaa

>>413514
kissu

>>413513
darringu

>>413513
k-k-kissu?!?!

can't wait for next episode

episode 4 was so fucking good
Before I was really eeeeeeeeehhhh on the show and prepared to drop it
But that tango, and that smile, and the way the mc confessed to 00, and then there were those really cool shots when they took down the klaxasour, that stuff was great. It made me feel all happy inside for these two dumb kids

I hope it gets really hot blooded.

I hope the other pilots do something though and it's not just horned robot saves the day every fight

>>413521
They always do that in mecha. Even if it's just shown for like 5 seconds cuz they want you to buy all the toys
These designs would be pretty hard to make toys out of though

i bet we're not going to see the kids for at least four episodes
00 will be sent to the front lines and the kids will show up eventually way cooler

They all have been shown in a lot of the key visuals and PV art from before the show's airing.

I hope 00's mech does more lion shit because that form was so cool

>>413519
I'm not talking about the robots, nerd.
The other kids have been featured in the PV art a relatively high amount compared to Hiro and Zero-Two.

>>413523
okay GOOD because I want that to happen

So a friend of mine found an amusing conspiracy theory news website and one of their authors is kind of nuts.
Sorry, all of them are.

Wait not PV art I'm being slow and tired.
That phrase doesn't even really make sense.
Just promotional art.

>>413525
For a second there, I was a bit lost, but you corrected yourself, so it's all good.

I like how the color fades from live posts now.
That's new.

It's a bit detrimental to group anime watching.
We use the change of colour to mark start and the immediate flash over is undeniably easier for that.

Nito

>>413530
That's why we stole Meguca's syncwatch timer.
Which is a little convoluted...

I mean it's not an issue.
We're all competent enough to start on time.
Aside from Ika but he never starts on time anyway so that's just how it goes.
It was just clearer when the posts turned to blue instantly.

Yeah, I can see, though it looks like now the transparency disappears when you close the post.
So maybe that could be a thing...

you gotta fight
for your right
to suck a fat dick

Speaking of transparency
Transparent thumbnails when?

>>413536
There used to be transparent spoilers, and still might be if I'm not crazy.

>>413535
In some places, indeed you do.

>>413537
Spoilers are semi-transparent when put in place by users.
Opaque spoilers are when Rika or Samu put the spoiler onto something.

>>413539
I knew that, I just didn't remember if they were still transparent, because we had to change that for some reason...
I think...

Ah I see.
Yeah it never changed here.

The source imagez for the spoilers are transparent, but that's so that they can be placed over the thumbnail without blocking all of it.

I wish I could remember why we changed it...
I had a great idea that I pushed to place the spoilers via JS but the guy who does all that stuff (because I ain't there yet) said no.

Y'all not doing anime tonight?

>>413545
How/where do you guys do that anyway? Sitting down to watch things isn't something I'm very good at but I might like to pop in from time to time all the same.

We should?
I haven't seen Rika in a bit, and Ika hasn't posted his single main thread post of "anime" yet.
Maybe her Internet is dead again.

>>413546
Starting (ideally) at 00:00 EST, we go through four or so shows a night here on /moe/. It's open to anyone who's interested, but there's usually only three of us that watch it.
There'll be an anime thread that usually gets linked in the main thread.

We all start on time by having someone, Rika pretty much as long as she's watching the show, go orange and then we all make an orange post.
Once she closes her post and it goes blue, that's when we start.

>>413546
I usually just watch everything with my girlfriend at my house, but the folks that watch it online just start at the same time and talk about it while they watch.

And speaking of anime time, it's time!

Speak of the devil and she shall appear.

>>413548
>>413549
I see. So it's not a stream or anything like that?

anime >>413551 →

>>413554
Nope.
You've got to get the show on your own terms.

Also, welcome, newfriend!

>>413554
As someone who tried doing the streaming thing, it's fucking wonky.

Lazarus has this problem where he obsessively tries to bury his feces to the point that he basically shovels litter out of the box.
He just shoveled his shit out of the box, too.
I can't wait for the new litter box to arrive.

>>413561
That's just a cat thing.
They all seem to overdo it and get shit everywhere.

ive never had a cat that did that unless the box needed to be scooped

>>413556
Makes sense. I have my ways of doing so. What kinds of shows do you guys usually watch? Are cutesy slice-of-lifes common?

>>413557
Thanks! Nice to meet you.

>>413558
What service did you use?

>>413565
Short answer, everything.
Within some relative degree of personal interest we usually trial at least everything full-length that airs in a season and some shorts that catch our attention.
This season we're watching... Fate/EXTRA Last Encore, Nanatsu no Taizai, Koi wa Ameagari no You ni, 3-gatsu no Lion, Black Clover, Beatless, Cardcaptor Sakura, Citrus, Dagashi Kashi, Dame x Prince, Darling in the FranXX, Death Match kara etc., Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan, Grancrest Senki, Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens, Hakumei to Mikochi, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, Kokkoku, Marchen Madchen, Mitsuboshi Colors, Overlord, Pop Team Epic, Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san, Ryuuou no Oshigoto, Slow Start, Sora yori mo Tooi Basho, Takunomi, Toji no Miko, Yuru Camp, and Violet Evergarden.
Maybe one or two others I missed but I think that's a comprehensive list.

>>413561
I knew a cat like that.
He was really compulsive about trying to cover his poo.

>>413569
I'm getting him a covered box.

Is weird how much cats differ on their litter capabilities.

>>413570
I used one of those for my childhood cat, since she lived in my room.
You can get some with little air filters on the top too.
They help a little.
but only a little.

>>413574
I'm getting one of those.
It doesn't smell, though.
I have good litter.
The only problem is that he shovels the litter out of the box.

I hate cat litter too.
It's such a pain.

cat that does their stuff outside, best cat
well winters are still an issue

>>413567
Cool! I've been meaning to watch a few of those anyway. Is there a schedule that you guys are on, i.e. certain shows on certain days?

>>413582
We have no set schedule, but these are the days the shows air on in time to get watched at watching time.
Unless there's some backlog from too many shows airing in a day to get watched -- we usually limit to four shows a night -- shows usually get watched on the night they air.

>>413584
awkward

>>413583
Noted. Guess I'd better get caught up on Mitsuboshi Colors, Yuru Camp, and Pop Team Epic then.

>we usually limit to four shows a night
One episode of each, I'm guessing?

>>413585
I wish I could read the full story, but it'd cost me a dollar.

oh i need to catch up on marchen madchen so i can watch tomorrow night

how much you wanna bet i won't remember

Probably won't.
Also we have Violet Evergarden tonight.
Was that one of the shows you're watching with a friend?

>>413584
sketch material

>>413587
wow
pirate that news!

>>413586
Well for example, take Saturday. We watch from those shows, Citrus, FranXX, Slow Start, Pop Team Epic, Fate/EXTRA, 3-gatsu, and Mahoutsukai.
For four shows, we'd probably pick the four of those we like the most. The rest would get saved for later days where we don't have four shows airing that day, like Sunday or Monday.
There's a bit more nuance than that but the short of it is, whatever we don't watch that night, we put off for a later day of the week.

>>413592
Too much work.

I am amazed you lot watch citrus still

I'm surprised they watch death march

I read that manga yesterday
was okayish
dunno how the anime is

I read it a while ago, that's how i know its not good
It's okay
But okay isn't good enough when it comes to some things

It doesn't seem to be a work that would be a good anime, though

they watch everything

And I also doubt it would be interesting to read as a light novel.

>>413603
It wasn't

Kinda like I don't read the slime isekai novels
though that has the addition of quite bad translation

I dropped that ages ago

>>413593
I see. And it's always the latest, most-recently aired episode of the shows being watched on that night?

>>413606
yet you read worse stuff

>>413609
Yup, sometimes the right kind of bad novel is more entertaining than a mediocre unimaginative novel.

>>413611
speaking of stuff read the ore to kawazu isekai thing

>>413608
Weeeell.
Ideally.
Scheduling doesn't always work out and some times a backlog builds up.
For example we currently have a backlog of three episodes of Carcaptor and two for Dagashi.
Some of us keep track of what's not been watched yet, and we usually post the entire backlog and things that aired that day at the start of the thread.
So checking in on what's not been watched is pretty easy.

>>413613
I've been reading it since the first chapter came out

That is a solid good one
the death march has fun world building and stuff, but otherwise it is just well there
the mc isn't bad but neither good
the author seems to be bit of a lolicon, though

But is bit weird how most isekai are light novels
I don't think the type of story really works in that format so well
I say manga is suited best for this stuff

Well
Actually historically isekai anime have been adapted from light novels
Even before the ln adaptation boom

if you were Elon Musk, would you consider hiding the body of someone you killed in a space suit and sending it into space in a car?

>>413619
I know
maybe it is a cultural difference and is just how the young like tor ead the light books
I mean I can't say I havn't done similiar, I own a fuckton of cheap fantasy novels like warcraft and diablo books bought during high school

>>413620
Yes but I'd have the ship explode as an "accident"
Or have it burn up in reentry

>>413622
you could just dissolve the body in acid or something if you wanted to do that

>>413620
Better idea
It's in a spacesuit in the trunk

>>413620
What does it have to be a dead body?

>>413614
Gotcha. I'm sure I'll figure it out.

>>413625
Because a living body wouldn't last that long?

>>413627
It would become a dead body after not too long.

>>413619
I recant this statement
I may or may not restate it after further review

>>413628
Oh, wait, I see your point.
You could put them in a space suit they can't escape from or move in and launch it into space.
Damn, that's a good ass murder method.
I'm surprised at you.

>>413629
Well the genre is still fun if they can pair up with a good artist
it is easy way to explore familiar fantasy settings in new light, though most isekai are just powerfantasy crap and harems
I mean death march most definitely is quite run of the mill series when it comes to this stuff.

>>413630
Yeah, that's what I'd do.

>>413616
The best thing Death March has going for it is that it's got a lot of cute girls and it's not offensively unpalatable.
It gets pretty game-y at times but it's a "trapped in a video game" isekai so whatever.
It also has a pretty solid OP and ED to look forward to.

>>413632
That's a really great way to kill someone.

>>413633
Yup
and the author has done some thought to their setting and world
and the main character isn't the type to abuse their power or go on the usual pwoetrip stuff, which on /are the dime and dozen of the genre

>>413634
He even slapped a "don't panic" sign on the dashboard for them to look at as they sat on the launch pad awaiting their fate.

oh yeah here is a new one that is bit more of a sol

>>413636
It's too bad Musk doesn't have the balls for that.

>>413636
Was it written in large friendly letters?

>>413640
I think it was undeniably supposed to be super Hitchiker's style.

I'm conflicted about being the only person who cares enough about this game to score it.

>>413637
I read like 50 chapters of the webnovel
*30

I can't into bullet hells.

>>413644
I dislike the webnovels
they are just like reading>
>greentext

>>413646
I'm starved for stimulation, so I just read them to distract me from stuff.

>>413639
Maybe he's just done a really really good job keeping it on the downlow.

>>413648
Yeah, maybe I've disposed of some bodies in volcanoes and kept it on the down low, too.

That would actually be damn hard to pull off

not with a helicopter

with a helicopter especially so

Or a lot of rope.
But there's little in the world that's difficult without suffient amounts of rope.

Can you pilot a helicopter?

you could also use a catapult
>>413654
i can get a helicopter pilot

>>413655
a trebuche woul work better
though techincally trebuche is a catapult too

issue with helicopter is the air currents over volcanoes, especially the active ones.

>>413649
Have you?

>>413655
And a witness
Who you need to kill and dispose of

>>413659
I know a chick that'd be down with murder and has a pilot license.
She can probably figure out a helicopter.

>>413658
Would you believe me if I said no?

>>413655
Catapult's not a bad idea

>>413662
So how do you construct the trebuche, which btw is the only design that can lob a human weighed object, so far without anyone noticing?

>>413663
Find plans for o e on the internet.

>Without people noticing
Go to a particularly remote volcano
It's still not practical though, its just more practical than a helicopter

I made a trebuchet out of popsicle sticks as a project for my high school phsyics class, that was pretty fun.

>>413664
nah I men how do you just pull that and no one notices

there are a lot of volcanos that you could just go hang out at and aee nobody

>>413667
the ones with easy access have tourism around them
the ones that don't have easy access, mean you need quite big logistical capacity to construct the damn thing

you can construct it elsewhere and move it

also a lot of manpower

>>413669
a trebuchee that can lob 50-100kg projectiles?
it will be big

>>4136615
Yeah, I would!

Okay
A very large ddrone
There are ddrones that can carry people for like 15 minutes

>>413673
now we are talking, though high chance the drone mightn ot survive
once again air current problems, cause of the heat

>>413672
Well, I'd never ever ever kill anyone!
In cold blood.

>>413675
Yeah but alall iit nneeds to do is fall into yhe volcano, not hhover over iit abd drop a cirpse before flying away
Plus Quadro or however many rotors you have copters are much much more maneuverable than helicopters

BUt I'd just cement shoes and ocean
if I wanted to dispose of someone
and also the sea would do my work for me, no need toa ctually kill someone

>>413677
Drones have helped a lot in volcanic exploration and measurements, but the research teams lose a lot of them
good thing for wireless connections, so the data is never lost

owning a farm with pigs

Well a farm with a field would work too
human body would be a great fertiliser

Modern techniques for finding human rremains are pretty gogood.
Burying it in a field (unless really deep) isn't the best hiding place.
Not that its not good
But it's not volcano tier

btw rei what would you call only sense?
it is kinda isekai, but it actually isn't
since it is just a game

>>413682
ocean/sea still best

by the time the body floats up, it will be quite hard to pin the deed to anyone

>>413686
Okay how about
Underwater volcano
>>413684
I'd call it garbage, but i barely rremember anything about it

and if you catually cement them well enough, they will never come up

>>413688
what the crafting autisming is just so amusing

>>413690
Then read oji san no vrmmo whatever

*to

>>413691
a novel nto a manga

But I do wonder how far into th e future, it will be before we have complete VR MMOs or other games
where you can actually senses tuff and shit

Or is it a scifi tech always

Define "full vr"
And "sense stuff"

>>413698
well let's just use the most famous example, like sao

I'm actually not 100% familiar with its stuff.
Also I expected you to say The Matrix
But
If we mean unconscious irl and stuff wired to nerves
Hrrrm

We are talking anime stuff, but yeah matrix would work too
but with bit more fail safes than that

I can't ssay for sure
I know some people in that field though

Man I wish there was a nearby stores
I want something swet with my coffee
donuts or shit

And by "field" i mean doing shit directly with nerves to make artificial ssensations

Mm oh wow now I saw the zoom in thing

But just makes you think of the consequences
we already have people dying of too long game sessions, but if you are entirely in a world where your mind is detached from your body...

Anyways in terms of like what's feasible with current technology disregarding any sort of major break through
Haptic feedback, vvr hheadsets, spherical (or whatever they're called) treadmills and some other shit I ccant recall the name of
Is what we're stuck with

Hooking people's brains up to computers sounds kinda impractical and dangerous.

Right?

>>413707
With a price tag of too much
>>413708
indeed
not even considering the more cyperpunky risks, but just imagine people playing full immersion games and then coming up against some real life phobia monsters
or experiencing a really traumatic experience in game
or how taxing would it be to the brain to do such activities for say 8 per day? Not to mention the people who do day to two long marathons

>>413710
Ehhh, maybe, but it nneeds tto bbe ddeveloped into consumer technology and come out of the lab

>>413710
It may or may not be taxing
The tech doesn't eexist yeyet
But it's nnot "your brain is processing shit to render graphics"
That level of stuff is just overriding the sensory nerves to receive ffrom the vr world and then redirecting motor control impulses to tthe vr world

>>413713
Yeah it could basically be similiar to a sleep status in terms of activity
But I didn't mean using a person's brain to process stuff, just that you still use your brain input to move your virtual self in that world

>>413714
No dude
It's the sasame aas mmoving irl
The nerve signals get redirected to vr, iinstead of going to yoyr arm for example

>>413716
YEs and during sleep your brain also cuts the nerve signals to body so that you don't accidentally move in your dreams
and when that bit fails a bit, you have those weird sleep jerks

>>413717
In this cacase they aren't "cut off", they're redirected.
Iirc in tge sleep thing they just aren't ssent at all

yes they aren't cut by you, but I started thinking that the whole playign of the full immersion games could be accomplished with a similiar state as sleep
so it could actually count as low level rest, wwell wouldn't prolly remove tiredness as you actually didn't sleep
but it would count as physical rest at the very least

Anyways this stuff is 20 years away at the very least (technology does not advance linearly, in some cases it can advance very quickly so im accounting for a possible exponential aadvance, or large ppolynomial advance)

gah I should remove all other versions of beethoven's 9th than that wiener philharmonics one

from this playlist

Herro

Test

>>413721
Would actually be fun to have a series that actually isn't about the game or its players but some company people who need to deal with the issues the game produces

I'm pretty sure there's some regular scifi about that.

Also, how many pre 2010 isekai anime can you name off the top of your head?

hmm lotgh is post 2010
sao is too, right?
*lotgh lol
Log horizon

digimon would count but it started in the 90s

and rayearth and twelve kingdoms

but those are the traditional "pops into fantasy world" I can't really think of any game ones
or gamelike
or "hey this is the fantasy world of my books/comics/games"
>>413742
I mean like overlord or such where it is gamelike world

Game ones aren't isekai
Err
Not trapped in mmmo ones anyways

>>413733
Escaflowne

>>413743
Sssdh
*sshhhh

Although yeah, I was surprised by the lack of Escaflowne in your mentions.

Cause I have never watched it and most likely never will

I haven't either
I do own the movie, still haven't seen it though

Escaflowne's an alright anime if you like DRAMA and relationships and all that shoujo stuff
The fantasy mecha is really great

>>413754
>being ///

Fantasy is probably the best setting for mecha since you can just say it runs on straight up magic

I like well written drama and not drama for the sake of drama it tends to be in anime

>>413752
>mecha
and you just killed your pitch

>>413752
Let's you skip all the bullshit involved
But if I went and watched show that was about mechas, I'd want it to go into suuper detail why it works and why they use the humanoid form of all forms
and not some other forms too
like spiderstuff
or shit

Mecha shows make ten times more sense when you think of them as Japanese super heroes like they were in the 70s

I bet, but I don't that much enjoy the superhero genre either.

>>413757
I think you mean tokustatsu.
*tokusatsu

>>413759
No I mean mecha
Tokusatsu does include plenty of super heroes
But I'm talking about 70s super robot anime

I meant instead of "japanese suoer heroes from the 70's"

Like look at say, getter

>>413762
>Tokusatsu (特撮) is a Japanese term that applies to any live-action film or television drama that features considerable use of special effects (tokusatsu literally translates as "special filming" in Japanese).
Why would I refer to anime with this turn

>>413764
Oh okay misunderstanding cool

>>413760
In your earlier post you said super heroes not super mecha
Which through me off

>>413763
See >>413764

Anyways are you guys done with the listing as many pre 2010 isekai anime as you can thing?
(without looking them up)

>>413770
I think I have actually watched that

Now and Then Here and There is another isekai
Did you guys list that one
>>413769
did you like it

No, I didn't list any.
I will soon though

Oh there's another one
Aura Battler Dunbine is isekai

>>413770
fuck if I remember
it most likely as 15 years ago

*was

>>413773
it was top of your head
not "look up"

>>413773
I forgot about that one, i haven't seen it though

>>413776
I didn't look it up

>>413773
I think I have seen bits of this once
maybe on tv even

>>413779
>maybe on tv even
Really? I'd be very surprised if this got broadcast outside of Japan, let alone Finland

or some VHS
but the characters look familiar
>>413780
cable is a thing

and satellite

Maria, tell me when you can't think of anymore.

I'm done

Okay, I'm going to briefly look over what was listed before I do mine. So i don't list any redundant ones.

Those Who Hunt Elves, El-Hazard, Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure, Fushigi Yugi, Kyo Kara Maou, Zero no Tsukaima, some may argue Inuyasha, some may argue Spirited Away, Tsubada Reservoir Chronicles,
*Tsubasa

>>413790
I wouldn't count inuyasha, since it is time travel

>>413790
and tsubasa is a can of worms I don't want to open ever again

>>413793
It's in continuity with Blood-C
And possibly blood+

>>413792
Hence "some may argue", I've seen stuff that's even further away called isekai.

>>413794
No blood+ has nothing to do with blood-c

Which one is the vampire hunting schoolgirl one?

Both

Anyways, Blood-C is also in continuity with Card Captor Sakura.

>>413799
Well not really blood+
cause vampires in that are big demon bats and the high school stuff is dropped by episode 3 or 4 of the 50 or so long series

Fuck
I always remember that damn /ss/ scene with the sayas real sister and her adopted brother

Then C is what I was thinking about

>>413803
Only thing good in that continuity was xxxHolic

I liked Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle.
The world-bouncing they did is still a plot idea I'm really fond of.

>>413814
Xxxholic is Fucking great

>>413809
good old rapemurder

>>413815
yeah it is good about untill the clone arc hits
and then the series just goes batshit and barely manages to keep its plot in

>>413814
Also Watanuki is in Blood-C

coherent form

>>413819
random cameo doesn't make a series good
you might watch a movie for a twist, but 5+ hours for some final episode schenanigans
nope
I dropped it in ep 2 or 3 because boring

Not a cameo

A 12 episode sseries is not 5+ hours, but I get what you mean.

>>413823
25x12=5 hours
"but episode is just 20 minutes"
add tot hat small pauses, occasionally watching both ending and opening, pausing to do other stuff etc etc
and you have the bare minimum of 5 hours
as someone who in general one sits his shows, I can attest taht 12/3 episode anime takes bare minimum of 6 hours to sit through

>>413824
It's closer to 20 minutes than 25
Plus many people do not watch the oopening and ending everysingke episode

Now you are just arguing minor things
and once again I do have a lot of experience on this as I generally one sit my shows

My general estimation rule is 1 episode = 20 minutes

well that is wrong

Are you familiar with Fermi estimation?

no and I don't need to
I don't care about estimations of the average
I know how much time it would take for ME to watch that series
and I dropped it on the second or third episode

Oh I remembered another isekai
Abenobashi Mahout Shoten

or which ever episode had this scene

>>413834
I think I once started watching this but never finished

*Shotengai

>>413837
Same, it's good though. FLCL era Gainax staff

I just never finished it

Yeah, I aldo never finished it
Also the main character's older sister's character design is Rei Ayanami

I do wonder though, why no reader site has "isekai" tag

Also the modern Japanese isekai is likely through its influences, directly descended from John Carter of Mars.

It reminds me of the vampire boom, though isekai has lasted longer and seems to be just I guess dying and ressurrecting nonstop

Yeah
I guess I'm glad the Maou boom is over
Maybe

I'd say SAO and LG kicked it off and then everytime there is somethingl ike Overlord or such, basically new big entry to the genre
it revives
>>413853
Yup, but it is similiar, well the first part

SAO isn't isekai

Nowadays I pick up quite werid series.
I seem to go for "creativity" whatevr that means
a work that seems to try to do something different
it doesn't even have to be good, just that it takes some new approach or such to an otherwise stale or overused genre

I can appreciate that.
There's an isekai web novel/light novel/manga series that I picked up last year that's pretty original
The premise is that the mc who gets accidentally sucked into a hero summon meant for his friend (they both go) and refuses to become a hero like his friend.
And it turns out that magic does in fact exist in "our" world, it's just secret
And then it turns out that the fantasy world's magic is really underdeveloped compared to "ours"

Is just fun to see what people can come up with
and isekai is something that has lot of potential in it, which is why I seem to have past year run into them a lot.

>>413855
and then is trained into medic
I just read that yesterday

oh wait that is the "new world has shitty magic" one
the mc is bit edgemaistery, but the idea is fun

>>413858
No, not that one

>>413861
that one is quite good so far
the hmm was it "there is something wrong with this world's magic" or something is bit meh in terms of characters but the idea is good

Well, the feeling it has is that its in medias res for a contemporary urban fantasy light novel
But the protag accidentally gets isekai'd

Now I can't recall how it was, but it did have some autisming so far for the magicking
which makes it somethign I am interested in
whenever an author actually puts thought into how their magic works, I am interested

Another interesting one I found, (I don't tthink there's a manga) is about a guy who had been isekai'd, and then went on a year or so journey and saved the world, but wwent back to deal with some stuff on Earth before moving tthere permanently, but when he comes back several years passed and the workd is fucked again, but this time in part by his former allies

>>413867
that sounds interesting enough of a setting
but I don't like to read the novels for this stuff
either the translators are just bad at writing or the authors themselves are crap
but they are just drago *drag to read
Even something lik overlord
's webnovels were quite bad compared to the actual published novels

Oh and he tries to do the "bring as much information ffrom our world thing" by bringing some ereaders with a shit ton of stuff on them and solar chargers
But he mixed up the suitcase with that shit with the suitcase with all the porn that he intended to throw out
So he accidentally brought a suitcase full of hentai instead of a compendium of knowledge

>>413870
Solid plan

>>413870
comedic, but predictable
also yaeh if I was suddenly being isekai'd somwehre, I'd ask that my computer be zapped into a pile of fried scrap metal

>>413875
The fucking thing from that slime isekai tjough
Iirc his ffriend tossed (in the novel) the computer in and left the faucet on and it flooded the mc's apartment

he asked his friend to do that and cause eh was being reincarnated at the same time got max level lightning resistance from it

>>413876
lol

but i havn't and won't read then ovels
either the translators suck at writing or the actual material is just boring
which is why I say these work best as manga
no need to write the fluff stuff, just narration and dialog, which they are better at doing

>>413879
Usually both

Usually what happens is the manga gets the first chaoter or two translated
And then I'm like "damn, I wonder what happens next"
And then if I find the novel translated, I read enough (usually all of what was then translated) that the manfa won't get there for years, or likely never get to that point

I just steer clear of the webtranslations

>>413881
I heard that the slimething gets quite retarded or such at some point, though dunno does it carry over to the manga

It does, stopped reading the manga though

the manga has good enough art
oh yeah death march manga has quite well drawn fight scenes to boot
is bit surprising, how well it is drawn
I wonder does the anime have that too

I know

I read the first chapter of the manga the day it was released

is quite amusing that the mc goes to fuck some random barmaid at the first village they stop once they set out to see the world

Wait really, I don't remember that part.

>>413889
yup

In the manga?

and then he tries to go brothel hunting with bunch of guys he was drinking with, but this time his harem girls come pick him up

Oh are you reading the one about the exterminator?

no death march

No I meant "have you read the one about the exterminator"

no
I think

Wanna link?

gib

But is fun that momentcause it does make him more human
I mean who wouldn't be bit pressed when surrounded by only girls, of which half want to bone you
but you think of them as pets or well them being kids
and hte only one who you are intrested in is away and not ready for that

https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=143822

>>413901
fucking what

But it would be fun if there was a series following say that sage of the forest? guy from the Hero Union BBS manga
it /every chapter he was in and doing magic autisming was just so fun to follow

That would be fun.

It could be a native or it could be an isekai'd guy
but basically someone who just doesn't want to be bothered and does everything they can to avoid being dragged back nto the world
while having way too much power

I found a manga (and ln) about a guy whose family is a line of "back up" heroes, for whenever the destined hero for some fated adventure dies or decides to not follow his destiny

Well I guess the cute max lvl witch girl is one

But thing that got me pondering
as he heals his strain away
does he prevent muscle growth?

The rest of the premise is that he saved too many heroines from different trope plots and that in the future they have a war because he never picked one
So some person gets sent back in time to make sure that that doesn't happen

>>413906
I think I read a few chapters but didn't continue

It had some amusing scenes.
Did you get to the part with the demon lord?

>>413911
dnno
it was one of those "oh what is this lets read for a bit... ooh shiny... few hours later* what is this tab, close it"

You care about spoilers ?

I doubt I will return to it since it isn't bookmarked

He gets isekaid into generic summoned hero please defeat the demon Lord world while accidentally activating a short range teleporter inside of a ship in warp space
And just skips most of the hero quest by teleporting inside the Maou's castle
And one shots him with a laser gun
The Maou comes back like three or four times due to healing
And tries to complain about hik being cheao, because he's immune to all magic, and that the mc won't even let him soeak

*speak

I have that page saved somewhere

Thing that some authors screw up oft is how they use the op mc character
afterall, the flagship best example of using it well in OPM would be ruined, if there ever comes an enemy Saitama can't just casually slap into oblivion.

Well, the mc's not OP. Its just that he had a type advantage in that one encounter. He can't beat the big bad space douchebag with the ray gun

Yeah, but I was talking in more general sense.

I get ya

Or if you have no good explanation why the OP mc is so powerful
and this isn't just related to isekai, but isekai has an op mc quite oft.

Yeah
Anyways here's the thing I was talkingabout

this manga is just so good even rereading it within few dayspan doesn't take away the best scenes

>>413927
what benefit would a creature gain from 4 eyes set like that?

I absolutely love this girl's expression in this

Last page

>>413933
He's a shapeshifter so he probably just did it to be more intimidating or something

>>413936
but why?
why would you add more strain to your brain from additional eyes, if they don't serve any purpose

It would be able to see better, also improved depth perception.

>>413938
the only reason for those eyes to exist would be to see above
they are looking at an angle, where they would not be able to see properly to where the main eyes see

>>413939
The socket's face is at a different angle.
Maybe it's to better see above it while flying in case another dragon attacks it
Or all but two of the eyes could be fake
We just don't know

is a thing I have started to dislike more and more
creature design with no thought put into how they actually work
maybe itworks if someone manufacturers the beasts
but in say world where they are the natural fauna and thus have evolved somehow, they should actually naturally function
and thus their traits should serve some evolutionary benefit
>>413942
lol

Sounds like you're developing autism

Stuff like that really bothers me sometimes.
I'm not sure ehy it doesn't bother me as much anymore.
I bet there's a constant amount of bothered I get, but what bothers me varies.

But same goes for fantasy armour design or bad castle design and so on.

Same goes for scifi, with latest big issue being the good old "open a hatch directly into the void of outer space to drop bombs
in space

Don't forget
>explosion sound in space

I can buy stuff like the treasure planet, where all spaceships are just space boats
cause that is just how all in that world is
but if there are some inconsistensies in an otherwise somewhat consistent universe, it just starts to annoy me
>>413946
that doesn't bother me, cause movies
it would otherwise be boring as fuck in general, though it would be fun if some show or flick would pull it off

I'm having fladhbacks tto a really difficult exam question I had on solar sails.

>>413947
I think Silent Running did that.

Mm, but I would love to see it in some more actiony space fiction
it could even be "space fantasy" like star wars
of course some actually realistic scifi that takes the 3 dimensions available, the fact tht you could have engagements from millions of clicks away
that you don't really need viewports in space only vessels
and so on

The two legged robot was played by a double amputee in it.

>>413950
>takes the 3 dimensions available
I'd love to see this more instead of just ships firing at each other as if they're navy ships operating on an ocean
Surrounding each other from different angles and stuff

Mass effect describes its combat quite well, though the actual cutscene space battles are quite general scifi stuff in the end

>>413952
This actually takes me back to LotGH and the "best strategy form a half circle" stuff that people make fun off
but it kinda makes sense
if you have a universe with big fleets
and ships are designed with large batteries
you could use them in small formations and do crafty manuevering
but if the enemy takes 50 000 ships and forms one giant firing lane and then just takes shortest route to your capital planet
what can you do except actually form up some solid defensive line at some point and take them on?

you can try to hit and run them, but each time you do, you are faced with immense difference in fire power.
>>413955
yeah the formations used in theshow are stupidly thick, but I can understand keeping a fleet type formations in space too

Really you should have your ships spread out pretty far
There's a lot of SPACE in space
There's no reason why they always need to be clumped together so the enemy can easily turn just a little bit to hit the next ship

You shouldn't really even be describing the formations in terms of 2d planar figures. You're still limiting your thinking (your as in the strategist) to surface tactics.

the planar figures shown in the show are just to make it easy for the viewer
they are 3d stuff always and they even do attacks from above, below and such in the show
or guerilla tactics
they just don't usually show those, cause takes more to animate them
giant blocks are easier to do
or 2d figures on strategic map of the main bridge

Also
Do you honestly think that in a realistic space combat scenario, that encounters at distances of a million km are feasible?

The ships in LotGH seem to take a lot of time to turn around
If you're playing defensively, you could surround them and just shoot from many different angles, like in a half sphere enveloping them
Since you can concentrate fire much more easily since for some reason there's a tonne of relatively close formations

>>413958
If space combat was realistic we'd probably just be shooting super fast rail cannons at each other from billions of kilometres away

Also the use of melee weapons
if boarders are clad in heavy space suit armour, do you really want to fire at them inside space ships with big guns?
also, just like in trench warfare, melee weapons just are a lot wield yin thight spaces

>>413959
The term "realistic scifi" was used earlier
I generally take that to mean hard scifi

>>413959
you could still dodge them
or just build shield tech to prevent that
or enough armour to block it

>>413959
>billions of kilometers away
Really dawg?
With rail guns?
Do you have no sense of scale at this level of distance?

>>413962
>block it
You'd need a lot of armour considering that in space the bullet doesn't slow down

>>413963
Okay not billions

But that is the thing
when you design your ships, you really need to consider the weaponry you are also giving them
for example, if you have light speed ramming torpedoes, no one would build stupendously large ships for war
only civilian and transports would be big then
war ships would be small and agile crafts

>>413964
Just for reference
Do you know how long it takes light to travel one million km in a vacuum?

>>413964
Well say few hundred metres of it

Also even if you go like "we shoot near light speed projectiles" but
is that even feasible?
how much energy would it require per shot?

Depends how "near" you want to get

>>413968
A lot
Lemme grab a graph fir you real quick
