It's been some time since we have had a Rika thread.
Kannagi
Hello Rika! How are you?
Marsh-chan

>>609054 You get extra xp for catching stuff with your support trainer. It's fun to time your throws with someone.

Anybody here got experience running the pc98 Touhou games on GNU/Linux? I've run into some trouble and the advice that works for other people isn't working for me.
... hitboxes in this game... that is all I have to say
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWETN !PcAPtAiNJo
is +5 best armour can get?
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Depends on the armor type What does your armor upgrade with?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
red hems are all twinkling as gargoyle
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Then yeah, +5 is max They're kind of like boss weapons in that way
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
lame that nazgul robe doesn't upgrade 0/1 game
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWEKirara, the CatTN !PcAPtAiNJo
if chosen undead was left handed MAN he would have it easy or she
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
btw do any of these soul weapons be useful to me?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also I need a pyromany teacher
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also does shield when not blocking give you any benefits?
Kirara, the Cat
>>609076 the teach is the lady that upgrades your flame Kellogg's sister
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
The pyromancy teachers are either the guy you save in the sewer or >>609078 who you can find in Blighttown around a pillar right of the bonfire, assuming your pyromancy flame is +10 or higher.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
The guy you save from the butcher in the sewer returns to firelink afterwards.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I FUCKING LOVE HOW ARTURIUS' LEAP ATTACK HTIS YOU EVEN WHEN IT DOESN'T HIT YOU 30% OF THE TIME
YOU DODGE IT YOU ARE FUCKING KILOMETREA AWYA FROM HIM BUT NO IT HITS YOUY
BEAUSE FUCK YOU
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FUCKING WIN A GUY WHEN THE FUCKER HITS YOU WHEN HE DOESN'T HIT OU?
>dodge >it hits full force ... why does anyone play this bugged ass bullshit game?
Kirara, the Cat
Looks like they used my alias so that's good. That podcast I hate, that id. is So it shouldn't bring me any trouble.
>>609088 We are surely blessed with such a rare occasion.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>609078 who? >>609079 guy went away after I accidentally hit yes
Kirara, the Cat
>>609092 idk her name Kellogg's sister one of her sisters you know, there's spider Kellogg, wall Kellogg, and human Kellogg
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
ain't there
Kirara, the Cat
she's there somewhere
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>609093 mr tosnki says I need +10 pyromancy I only have 6
Kirara, the Cat
oh, idk i thought she showed up earlier than that
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
föjkasdfjkklöas
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
rip 10 humanity
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
chosen RETARD here decided TO SLIP DOWN ANOTHER CLIFF
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
THIS FUCKING SPOT IF I DON'T SLIP DOWN FROM HERE NOW WHY DO I SLIP DOWN FROM HERE ON OTHER OCASIONS
GAME ANSWER ME
LEVEL DESIGNER
COME OVER HERE I HAVE A FUCKING SWORD THAT IW ANT TO RAM UP YOUR ASS
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
that cliff has cost me 80k souls and 14 humanity
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>609092 you can talk to him again after did you not
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Wait why were you running around with 80k souls and 14 liquid humanity
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>609104 no that is just total amount I died went back to artorious or other place slipped off at that point and lost those souls because I just slip off fucking 2 metres from the clfif because fuck my game
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Do you mean total as in what you've lost throughout your playthrough or
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
3 times I have fallen off at that point 2 metres from the cliff
Kirara, the Cat
What's /moe/'s opinion on bowling
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
it's ok
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I like it but it's not my favorite thing to do
月
there are worse ways to die but it's not the best either
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the onyl hardship in artorius is this he keeps hitting me despite me dodging it with the jump and lunge attak I time it 100% as I always do yet he hits me so... and then after that he always does the triple jump attak and kills me
I got all his moveset down I can bring him to about 5% hp but once that shit land son me dead
what can one do against a hit that hits you despite it not hitting you nothing bullshit fight
>learn to dodge his attacks well can't because some attacks just hoose to hit because shit game
>>609120 cause the hitbox errors I have are similiar to the jump errors that are Known to happen
basically what the game shows and what the game calculates don't match leading to weird slips down the cliffs or you getting hit despite being miles away from being hit
the game calculated you being "too near the ledge so fall" or "just at the hit range so hi" but the 60fps game had you be well in safe zone
I enjoyed Dark Souls. I didn't think it was bugged with movement or hitbox errors. I sucked at it for ages and then learnt how to properly play it.
Kirara, the Cat
I didn't have movement problems, and some of the hitboxes suck, but I don't think it was that bad. Not in PtD at least.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>609126 Okay so >>609101 why am I not falling here but when I during fights with the 2 mobs heading down that slope do FALL DOWN HERE >>609112 Why did I get hit here?
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>realize the amount of time it would take to get to TN proper since none of my characters are there ooof. effort.
I don't know dan shit happens sometime.s You just gotta roll with it.
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
Dark souls super fustrating.
we should play together TN. unless you are doing a no summon run.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
This is my favourite
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I am behind him out of his AOE effect and I got hit
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I am beginning to love artorius if not just for the fact taht I only GET DAMAGED by his lunge and jump attack when I have dodged it and not the AoE effect just straight up "it hit you" but I was nowhere near him
it is just like that fucking Lava retard all over again I am nowhere near the attack, not even the AoE I get hit
And I bet it is because of the 60fps thing
Kirara, the Cat
Ice cream and bowling deitos
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Okay uh Let me work my way to Artorias.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I am not going to summon you
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I'm going to punch artorias.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I don't care how your experience with him goes that is my experience with him I get hit despite dodging I mean COME ON LOOK AT THE SREEN SHOTS
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
My concern is I need to make sure Artorias' hitboxes will do dumb things.
Kirara, the Cat
The secretary at my clinic bowls every Monday night. She said she bowls like 200. That's like twice my average.
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
Like 200 balls a night? or is that a score? because 200 balls is a lot of balls. to bowl Its probably score score
Kirara, the Cat
Haha, 200 is a score, yeah. Max score is 300. 200 is pretty good, I roll around 100.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and fucking there >jump attack >hits me >triple spin jump
does holding a shield help btw not blocvking just holding it
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
oh all of my saves are like this good. >>609147 Only if the shield has a passive which the grass crest does
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
yeah but if I triangle it it still gives it
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
yeah
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
so shield only helps when blocking
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Are you asking if the shield only gives you defensive stats while blocking or are you asking if you get the buff while it's on your back
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh Oh god it's the prepare to die again edition but with every enemy being a red phantom too jesus christ how horrifyign that's the worst thing ever
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
no I think worst thing ever is getting hit one out of four hits and you just don't know what you are doing wrong
you try to science it out and it doesn't help it just seems like a fucking AC roll >dodge roll >success >now do AC roll >uhh= >yeah >19 >well he hits 200 >so he hits me
>>609184 artorias is one of the few bosses that is actually difficult i think and it doesn't help he has splash damage that's hard to gauge the range on
Anno
and that annoying move where he whips around and throws abyss gunk on you that one gets me a lot
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
yeah it combos nastily with his triple jump I just got hit by him with his lunge and great leap attack despite dodging it
Yuu
What do you guys think about the move to 4channel?
Kirara, the Cat
>>609194 I don't know anything about the situation. I haven't been on 4chan seriously in a long time.
What in the actual fuck Splitting the site? That's fucking rtarded *retarded I hope someone tracks down gook moot and punches him He's had it coming fir *for a long time
Marsh-chan
to be fair, the site has to be hemorrhaging money, right he has to do something to make it more viable
FormerRei@mobile
>>609199 He lies about how much the bandwidth costs, he's most likely skimming a lot off. It was really suspicious when he started talking about the lack of money early on because moot set it up so they'd have enough to last a while.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>609198 >g**k moot whoa now we dont' need to throw racial slurs
Kirara, the Cat
I was gonna say it but decided against it I'm glad you did
FormerRei@mobile
>>609201 >>609202 That's literally what people call him Do you prefer Hirishimoot or Hiroshima Nagasaki?
Marsh-chan
I remember thinking moot was a spinless faggot but I read his Rolling Stone interview the other day while I was researching some other stuff
and now I couldn't blame him in the least for wanting to distance himself from all that shit.
Rei I thought you were better than redditors and shit like that
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
I could care less about the 4channel stuff. I just care about the boards I occasionally use. /a/,/jp/, /c/, /lgbt/ and anime wallpapers and they all various suck *variously suck >>609211 I get bored and lonely, so I join in conversations that talk about things I know or like. and download cute and/or fun pictures
FormerRei@mobile
Hiromoot then
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
All I do on 4chan is lurk and grab things that are relevant to me
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I don't think I have posted in 4han since radio left it
Yuu
I think it kinda sucks for some of the yellow boards that really didn't do anytying wrong. I imagine the yellow side of the site is gonna get phased out.
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
/b/ being removed would be nice. maybe /pol/ too >>609215 to shitter websites >>609216 Containment board argument sucks. just remove it and have mods remove the shitty posts
Marsh-chan
oh no now where will people find internet porn
FormerRei@mobile
>>609214 Not it wouldn't It's a containment board *no it wouldn't If /b/ gets removed /b/yards will flood all the other boards */b/yards
I think it was more or less targeting /pol/ rather than /b/.
>>609217 All the blue boards have been moved to 4channel.org. As an attempt to distance from the side of the site that advertisers didn't like too much.
I persoanlly think it has more to do with politics than porn.
/b/ and /pol/ is no big loss, but the downsides to all this is that yellow boards like /u/ that didn't really do anything wrong are going to fall to the wayside. And the moderation on the blue boards is going to be much more strict.
FormerRei@mobile
>>609214 >remove the shitty posts They already have their hands full
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
Wait /b/ is on the other side thats actually pretty nice separating the NSFW and shite to other side. I don't mind this
>>609218 /u/ moving over is unfair considering /cm/ is over on 4chan side
Yuu
>>609222 I think that if /pol/ were deleted, it would literally spill all over the internet at this point. It was bad enough when /new/ was deleted and /pol/ has way more momentum right now than /new/ ever did.
FormerRei@mobile
My biggest issue with this is that I don't like change.
Maria
>>609223 /mlp/ >>609226 That makes them sound like some sort of terrorist group holding everyone else hostage I think the current spillover exists because it has a source to spill from. The source needs to be burned down. People go to /pol/ first before they spillover to other boards
>>609236 I disagree with your disagree. I think you're really overestimating how moderated "mainstream" places like twitter are. The people only flock there because they're given a space designated for it
>>609228 To be fair Some people from /pol/ are actual terrorists
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
if they get removed they will just go a bunch of different chans. some of them are even from polchans and post on 4chan at the same time. I don't think spillover is much of a concern.
/pol/ already spills itself all over the internet that's what they do If it dies on 4chan, they'll move to 8ch, and if it dies on 8ch, they'll move to megu- oh wait, that literally already happened
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
come on I want to invade
Marsh-chan
I would have guessed that at this point /pol/ is far too mainstream and above ground it's mostly edgel0rd teenagers who get a rush out of dropping race hate.
The people who are hardcore into it would all have found somewhere less well known
I'd guess. I'd assume that's the way these things usually work
>>609228 I kinda disagree. The board is the people, not the board. /pol/ is like it is because it's one of the only places for people to go with the internet being the way it is these days. It's so heavily policed these days.
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
Pol has loads of non-4chan spin off boards as well. I don't even think 4chan is there mainstay anymore.
The problem with pol in the first place was that it was getting all over the place and out of control. they weren't just staying in pol.
Marsh-chan
You guys probably already know this but I just found out yesterday: the original artist who created pepe has started filing lawsuits against all the far right groups who have been making merchandise and stuff that uses his IP
FormerRei@mobile
Huh my 4chan app still works and I don't need to update it Cool
Yuu
/pol/ was created as a pressure release valve because the whole site was becoming /pol/ anyway after /new/ was deleted. It's the people, the board doesn't particularly matter.
I think deleting it right now would be a particularly bad move for the 4chan staff, because they'd spill over to the blue boards. Slowly phasing it out like they're doing now is probably the way to do it.
FormerRei@mobile
>>609240 He's been doing that for a while I doubt it will work though
>>609245 Yeah, but that's not because of 4chan or the board. It's because of the internet as a whole and the fact that you're anonymous on 4chan. Those people can't post what they want to post on other sites, especially normie sites, because they'd be doxxed/banned/etc for having wrong opinions.
>>609251 It counts as parody in a lot of cases Yeah, I do don't know the exact term for this but he's lost control of the property Sort of like the wait no nvm
Kirara, the Cat
save /po/
Yuu
>>609248 Well, the whole internet is kind of scary.
Marsh-chan
>>609256 Well it is only in cases that people are directly profiting. It's not as though he's going after artists and shitposters
Kirara, the Cat
>>609258 Yeah, but /pol/ weaponized antisemitism in a revolutionary way and has spread it all over the place, especially now that they've started organizing using that Gab S // Gab site
It was probably inevitable, though. If not /pol/, it would have happened somewhere else.
FormerRei@mobile
Honestly I think some of these Pepe cases will have a good chance of making legal history This is one of the few meme related legal issues that are really going to court It's also a fair use thing too
Marsh-chan
Even undesirables have a right to freedom of expression.
>>609262 I never really understood how people can advocate for genocide and then claim that the free speech is a right based on principle. Surely the two ideas are inherently contradictory
>>609285 As in literally advocating genocide. "I support the mass murder of this race of people". You can't simultaneously support free speech as an absolute universal principle whilst simultaneously advocating the shutdown of freespeech for others via murdering them. Well you can but you'd be stupid to
>>609287 No I'm talking about the logical and ethical contradictions involved with holding these two stances simultaneously.
FormerRei@mobile
>>609284 Define "advocate for genocide" because depending how they word it its covered by free speech.
Kirara, the Cat
Maybe let's not have this discussion on /moe/. It's a very distressing one and people are going to get all mad.
FormerRei@mobile
>>609284 Covered by free speech There's no intent to commit a crime
I wear glasses. when I take them off one of my eyes tends to drift to the side a little. It takes a little concentration not look like a doofus. I tend to look like a doofus
I've been really drowsy all evening. For most of the past week I've been sleeping around this time so I guess I'm really off kilter. At least it's so dark I'm pretty much sleeping at night.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>609318 You can have more of a spell by equipping more than one copy, but you can only get one copy of Great Chaos Fireball
Anno
>>609342 i slept for like 14 hours in the last day and a half and yet i woke up drowsy i want a time refund, God
Anno
Those lengthy sorts of sleeps never end up being actually refreshing, eh. After a certain point the more you sleep the groggier you are waking up.
Anno
>>609343 You can get it but only if you go to another NG cycle after killing Gwyn, anyways. I've seen some guy with like 12 CSS.
some random bot is catfishing me all of a sudden never had this happen before
Anno
>>609380 wauw you even got one that sends pics ask for bobs
Anno
>>609380 Those pesky relationship-seeking AI are gonna be all over you from here on out.
bang
well look at the time
Anno
It's ants o'clock!
Anno
W O W My body really can not handle me putting shitty shit foods in my stomach I'm sure it's always been this way and I haven't noticed until recently because I went on a healthy-eating binge and had no issues for a while and now I'm dying
Anno
Yeah, the human body is really quick to reject junk food once you turn off it and start eating predominantly healthy.
Anno
But I still have half of this big bowl of spicy ramen am I just supposed to throw it away now
Anno
Nah you just stomach through it. Sacrifice a bit of physical pain for that flavour.
Anno
Looks like my hands are tied 40% of all food produced in the states is thrown away and wasted, and I refuse to contribute to that
Marsh-chan
>>609425 hell no, dude you'd be wasting like 60 cents
I sure hope you don't have any horrible nightmares tonight.
Anno
Good luck causing them Though I'm sure it's all a drug lack induced thing Stupid lack of medications
Anno
man idk
Anno
>>609432 It's okay I don't even know if I'm sleeping tonight.
Kannagi
Morning moe!
Anno
Oha you
Kannagi
Sleepy. How are you?
Anno
Probably the flipside, to be honest. Way too awake for how late it's gotten.
Kannagi
I know how that feels. I had shitty heart palpitations and anxiety that stopped me sleeping for nearly 2 days. Ive been using over the counter sleep aids to sleep. I hope you are okay.
Anno
I hope you are ok Both of you
Anno
I'll be all right. The thought is a comfort though.
Kannagi
If
Kannagi
Well that broke.
>>609441 Thank you. >>609442 I hate that I can't do more for you, especially with knowing how unwell i was when I couldn't sleep. I hope you can Get comfy. Take it every *easy.
Anno
Ah, the obliteration state. I only wish the unhealthiness will end soon. It seems to have its hold on all of us.
Kannagi
I can't wear my fitbit anymore because the moment I see my BPM high I become unreasonably panicked.
Kannagi
Friday was pretty shitty and Saturday was easier. Hopefully today will better.
Koi
Soon
Anno
The killer in me is the killer in you.
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
I wonder if I could sell photos. It might be nice, but I have no idea about declaring income and stuff like that.
Koi
All that stuff is easy. You just write it down and tally it up. Now..figuring out deductions? That's magic.
Marsh-chan
everything is a business expense.
Marsh-chan
I was clicking through some random youtube videos to kill time and there were a few runescape ones that came up since I'd been looking up skill guides an' stuff and there was one that was like "Top Unusual Account Builds" and there was a guy with 99 attack and 1/1 in every other combat stat and he was like "yeah. this was a grind. it probably took around 750 hours"
And that was a real wake up call. Imagine sinking that much time into something meaningless that isn't even fun for the sheer pleasure of hitting lots of 1's and no 0's
and then I realized how much time I'd spent playing the game in the last couple of months and how little I've gotten out of it. because it's not even just like playing vidya all day. because it's not even fun
So. I sold all the items, went to a free to play world and made some fuckin kid's day
And now I'm done.
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
Don't get too stressed about hours invested in things. You can do whatever you like, you don't have to be thinking about being productive or whatever. I think it is good to move from something that you don't want to do. Habit is hard to break and sometimes hard to justify
Anno
>>609454 Well, just make sure you don't get too itchy going cold turkey. It's good to realize it isn't a fun experience for you and act on that though.
Marsh-chan
>>609456 In most situations I actually find it easier to go cold turkey because once I have a taste of something I want MORE and MORE and MORE. so it's easier just to stop. >>609455 The only thing I'm upset about is a feeling that I've squandered my time overseas by letting my bad habits get the best of me. the hours themselves don't matter as much. I probably would have just wasted them doing something else.
Marsh-chan
If I was going to get mad about hours invested in something I'd get mad at League of Legends
Over 4000 games played and I was still terrible at it.
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
I can understand the feeling of wanting more of shitty things. I find it harder to stop because my memory is so bad at remembering tramatic feelings. so I forget how much I dislike doing something and do it because it becomes habit or feels good for a short shitty time
Marsh-chan
>>609459 That can be one reason that it's good to have other people around to keep you accountable
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
>>609460 Totally. Having something to keep you accountable is good. I try to distract myself with things I'll enjoy. Picking up photography is a lot of fun. If it wasn't so cold i'd go out and do more.
Photography gets me out of the house too when otherwise I have no reason to ever leave the house outside of university which I just go and come home right away.
Marsh-chan
do you have any photos you've taken that you could post? I'd like to see them.
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
Here some of them https://www.instagram.com/kannagsmoe/ I haven't posted a lot of them up.
I really like flowers, berries and colours
Anno
Just listen to this song. It's so fucking liberating It made me feel free for the first time in months. >>>/watch?v=1zRkbWpJ988

>>609463 fuckin' hell, mate this is like proper Artistic an' shit
Marsh-chan
like high level
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
Really? I have a lot of learn. how to reduce blur, how to get lighting right. It is hard to adjust lighting over here compared to when I went over to new mexico where It was sunny everyday.
I'm glad you like them though, thats nice!
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
I love it when it rains. Rain is so pretty.
I should resize these... a bit bigger than I thought.
Marsh-chan
>>609464 my speaker has been doing this annoying buzzing thing every few seconds which kind of ruins the effect. I'm glad you're feeling liberated though! >>609467 yeah. nah. I'm not just trying to flatter it's actually really high quality.
>>609472 you had to write a thesis essay to get your Masters, right?
Kirara, the Cat
>>609473 I had to do a clinical proficiency exam for my master's. It's like a thesis, I guess. I had to do testing and treatment with a client, then write up a treatment plan, case conceptualization, report, and then I had to defend my work in front of a panel of psychologists.
Marsh-chan
oh. neato. That's really practical
Marsh-chan
which makes a lot more sense than just testing written skills. You could be an excellent writer but a shithouse clinician.
Kirara, the Cat
Yeah, my program is pretty practical. It's a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology program, a Psy.D. instead of a Ph.D. or anything like that.
Marsh-chan
I'm reading a book on the internet from 1998 and it's amusing how outdated it is >there are currently over 200 million connected users and over 30 terabytes of Digital Data >it is unlike that television or movies will ever be widely distributed in digital form because of the inability to make a profit
>>609477 makes sense. Unless you wanted to go into academics or something That's the stuff you actually need to know.
Kirara, the Cat
haha, if only they could have known
>>609477 yeah, there are a lot of crappy clinicians out there unfortunately I have to do a dissertation for my doctorate too
also: that was more of a cuddle than a fight. >>609483 good luck. hope you find something interesting.
Kirara, the Cat
>>609485 Haha, I'd put it off if I could. It's like a two year project, though.
Yeah, they're just wrestling on the floor trying to restrain each other lol
Kirara, the Cat
The other day, I saw someone I haven't seen in a year, and they've gotten so fat that I couldn't even recognize them at first. It was weird.
Anno
It's a little scary how quickly something like that can get away from you.
Kirara, the Cat
Yeah But this was bad. She must have gained 40kg in the past year, at least. I don't even know how it's possible
Kirara, the Cat
We watched Taxi Driver (1976) last night and I was surprised at how relevant it is to the political climate of today. It showed very well the way right-wingers can radicalize into fascists. Travis was basically a prototypical alt-right fascist. Right down to his need to "clean the degenerate scum" from the streets of NYC.
Anno
That's another movie I've never seen. I think I've heard of it before at least.
Kirara, the Cat
Honestly, amazing movie. I can tell why it's on so many must-watch lists. The writing, the direction, it's all very good.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
scifi strat games have good ost quiteo ft

The composer for Kyousougiga's OST is teaming up with Kajiura Yuki to produce the OST for a new Shounen Jump adaptation animated by ufotable. The creative qualities going into this are pretty exciting already.

isn't taxi driver the "I am walking here" movie?
Kirara, the Cat
>>609495 No, it's "are you talkin to me?!" Robert DiNiro.
>>609494 What's the adaptation? That's a winning combination.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Oh that one I think I saw it ages ago but don't remember much about it
Anno
>>609496 Kimetsu no Yaiba. I know pretty much nothing about it but it's one of Jump's bigger series at the moment. Or at the least one they're pushing for really strongly.
>Since ancient times, rumors have abounded of man-eating demons lurking in the woods. Because of this, the local townsfolk never venture outside at night. Legend has it that a demon slayer also roams the night, hunting down these bloodthirsty demons.
Ever since the death of his father, Tanjirou has taken it upon himself to support his mother and five siblings. Although their lives may be hardened by tragedy, they've found happiness. But that ephemeral warmth is shattered one day when Tanjirou finds his family slaughtered and the lone survivor, his sister Nezuko, turned into a demon. Adding to this sorrow, a demon hunter named Tomioka Giyuu arrived and was about to finish Nezuko off, but to his surprise she and Tanjiro started to protect each other. Seeing this oddity and Tanjiro's promising fighting skills, Giyuu decides to send them to his old mentor to be trained.
So begins Tanjiro's life as a demon hunter, bound on a quest to cure his sister and find the one who murdered his entire family. from manga ups

the art for it looks familiar I wonder if the author apprenticed under some other big shounen author
Kirara, the Cat
Sounds pretty standard for a shonen story. I'll wait to see the execution before I pass judgment, though.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
on average, I think standard works best for shounen, if it is also done with good standards
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Still one of the weirdest mangas I have read is where a manga author gets isekai'd into his about to be axed manga that then ends abprubtly, like it was axed but it was pretty much written that way
a real mindfuck of a read in a way
Kannagi
Back home. I was feeling a little tired. It is a little gloomy out and starting to rain, I took a few pictures.
lol people aren't cheering for borders, they're cheering for anti-imperialism because that colonizer got btfo
Kannagi
>>609514 It is so dumb to read it as advocating zero tolerance deadly border force. It is so nice to see a group of people who have survived imperialism. >>609516 The people here were not untouched. The british did a lot of harm to them.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
It is still incredible that there are several communities that have never had true contact with the outside world out there.
Kirara, the Cat
yeah, it's amazing the sentinelese actually have been contacted though The Brits came and kidnapped some of them and assaulted others sexually, which is why they're so hostile. The Indian government often checks on them after natural disasters.
A ship once wrecked on the island as well, and they've built tools out of the remains, too. I think the crew narrowly survived.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>609517 yeah the british empire, australai to be specific had captains who illegally, but took a long while for the people to really react to it, kidnapped natives and forced on them contracts to work on plantation during late 19th century "Recruiters" they were called officially, they were offering jobs, but quite a number of them tricked or outright kindapped the natives into servie.
Doesn't really surprise, since shanghai-ing people into the fleet was STILL a common practice even over in europe. Really... just imagine it, having a late night stroll in the town, someone knocks you over and then you wake up onboard a ship
Amusingly a guy who ws shanghaied to a shitty colony fleet, jumped the ship, got ashore a head hunter island, joined their tribe as a headhunter and lived there like 8 years was one of the main actors of ending that practice.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
another funny note that i didn't know, the swimming crawl ws taken from the pacific natives by such people who for one reason or another spent time living with them.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
or was it from north amerians... or maybe both
Kirara, the Cat
It's a shame we don't know anything about Sentinelese culture but that's probably for the best.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
there are quite curious beliefs on such people usually though their socities tend to be quite brutal at times
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
though so is ours, but such in a more "well dressed way"
Kirara, the Cat
I think them being brutal is a myth. Some are, but anthropology has disproven that most are these days
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
It is just more of a cse of harsh punishment s in many cases hmm my C is acting up
Kannagi
I think it only appears brutal because of how divergent they are from what we know and understand. It is weird to think the world still uses words like "primitive" to describe cultures so different from their own.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
there should be a single word for "not so technologically advanced"
Kirara, the Cat
We used to have words like primitive, but they have such bad connotations now. Like Kannagi said.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but primitive also implies like not socially developed either in terms of lacking norms and laws and so on
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Ok I'm finally up
Anno
I still am. It's probably been about twenty-five hours now.
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
When I was at the hospital my doctor told me to take it easy. I kinda pushed myself going out. I feel really sleepy now. I might have a hot bath or shower. I wish I had a patience to fill a bath.
Anno
Yukkuri shite nee
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>609534 get into tub while as it fills I do that always
Kirara, the Cat
>>609531 Sometimes. For example, when we talk about primitive camping, it's only about having no amenities and surviving with your own tools and stuff.
>>609536 Thats difficult for me because I have difficultity knowing if something to too hot for me. >>609533 I hope you can sleep soon. I felt so ill not being able to sleep.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
curious
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
>>609540 I have to run alternatively the hot and cold taps to figure out the temperature. I've burnt myself a few times running baths. I usually can't be bother with baths and use the shower
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
hmm I don't know if the manga has weird writing or the translation is just off talking about kimetsu no yaiba
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the translation is already quite derb english
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
Do you read any Manga in Finnish?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
no finnish translations usually are just bad it is an inherent issue of language and not the lack of skill in part of translators I do own all of DB in finnish and 6 vols of Nichijou those have damn good tls but usually if I see a finnish manga I give it a good look and just see real bad usage of language IT really boils down to the average translator just being a bad writer, and just translating so the result is just "eeeh" simply said many phrases that seem normal in english or japanese just become instant cringe in finnish, if you translate them as it is
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
>>609546 Oh thats interesting. Part of the reason I don't like some translations in English is because of poor writing or really poor translation. Yen Press is so hit and miss
Anno
>>609539 I'm aware. But there's too much making me wired up. Or was making me wired up I guess. Like most things it's easy to get desensitised after constant immersion. And now I'm so tired aaaaaaaahhhh
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Also another problem is simply, that most translators write in written finnish when the characters clearly should be speaking in spoken finnish it just don't work Nobody aside from politicians and news anchors really speak in written finnish >>609547 this pops up in any animes I have bought, well movies ghibli official tls are just sometimes so wrong they are right, but miss basicalyl HALF the content
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
>>609548 I was really wired. I tried a lot of things to try and sleep. hot chocolate, showers, cdb oil, hot water bottle. The only thing that really worked was time to be honest. and i guess the kalms I took helped me lower my anxiety at not being able to sleep

Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
>>609555 I looked for valerian root. There wasn't anything that said valerian root.
I probably should have looked at the ingredients in a bunch of things. I thought Valerian root would be like a tincture, tea or something like that.
Well I have a big box of Valerian root extract pills now

I think I have started to say something amongst lines of "do one or the other, you can't do both" when something annoys me maybe I will havet hat written on my gravestone "You can't live and die at the same time"

on another note I ran out of good coffee I wonder can I bring myself to buy more or force myself to first drink the garbage coffee
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
main character of kimetsu no yaiba is damn polite it is actually refreshing when the usual shounen character are either brash, super edgy or just hot headed and noisy

since my only human interaction is when I say 'hei' and 'kiitoss' to the checkout guy at kmarket effectively 100% of my conversations are in Finnish.

but hey, you know what if you've got to live like a loner shut-in Finland is the best country in the world to do it in.
I wish I could buy a new camera I don't think I can improve at all with my current one anymore

>>609643 I'm raining and pouring >>609644 I really like close ups of flowers and things. Macro lens are amazing. I want a better one >>609645 If you save up for one if you can - I really don't regret buying this camera. I am so happy I got one despite not having much money. >>609648 That sucks. I would never be able to buy a camera right now.
But I still doubt I will ever take a better pic than this
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
I like paths. especially winding or ones bordered by amazing trees.

I would have thought Finland would be far more FANTASY.

Do you know if you're coming to US for Winter yet, Kannagi?

>>609658 and north looks like this this is from sweden, but applies
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
>>609659 I don't know. My mom hasn't got back to me really. I think there might be a good chance I probably won't be able to. Since I think she intends to come over here instead.
I was talking to my little sister yesterday, she apparently said she's possibly coming over in Feb. It feels like a shame. but I can't do much.
TN !PcAPtAiNJoTN !PcAPtAiNJo

TN !PcAPtAiNJoTN !PcAPtAiNJoKirara, the Cat
>>609661 Well, that's alright. I think where I want to go next summer will be really cool, so maybe you can tag along for that /moe/ trip. Although I'm getting pretty excited about the upcoming one!
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
all finland has going on is retard trees
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and snow
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
>>609666 I'm jealous that you all are in the US. I wish I lived over there sometimes, I mean I like England but nearly all my friends are far away. Sucks.
Kirara, the Cat
>>609669 Well, maybe once I move out west for my internship and Jan moves in with us, maybe you can, too. We'll build some cabins in the forest! It'll be great. A tiny friendship commune. Y'all can help raise my kids.
I don't think my kids will fall in love with Jan or Kannagi. That'd be really weird. People don't usually fall in love with their aunts/uncles.
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
Not that thinking about children have lovers is the first concern I think of for a forest friendship commune.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>609681 as a proper american dad you will need to own a glass container, like one of those "in case of fire break glass" with an axe or fire extinquisher, but with "in case of boy/girlfriend break glass" but it has a shtogun inside
Kannagi !NEATO1nxtM
Besides who knows what the future holds. Jan or I could have partners ourselves by then

opr maybe you and jan are partners?

How so? I am a yuri-otoko My mind works in shipper logic
though I do have to at this point say
Sorry for snapping off at people yesterday about at this hour was REALLY pissed off from playing dark souls
Kirara, the Cat
That's okay. The game really can be frustrating.

Haha, Dark Souls really is super fustrating. Don't worry about it!
I've alt-F4'd dark souls enough times

TN !PcAPtAiNJo
btw you know that anxious feeling well of anxiousnes or of panicing about something or worrying about future
I think i have nearly killed that emotion too
weird how my mind works I wonder how badly I break when that emotion becomes too bottled up? since that is how my mind works now I kill everything untill something breaks
I wonder when I will do this to joy or happiness
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also how many emotions can your stip off a human and still remain human?

My chest hurts a little again. I really hope I'm not getting sick.

I am 98 chapters into kimetsu no yaiba I give it so far a solid 4/5 it is quite "generic" but in a fresh way kind of like marvel cinematic universe but in manga form
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and the main character is so polite and well mannered it is damn fresh breath in manga
>>609714 also your life line is long but with weak branches though with several offshoots so yeah not tht bad but your fotrune is... well it isn't weak but depends on your choice

You're the only one putting those words in your mouth dude

You would have said that
Anno
If I would have, I would have. I didn't, so I would not have.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I denied so you didn't

ever fully realise that how evil you are?

You lack a single evil molecule in your bone
and don't you deny it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
"oh but tn i can be nasty" yeah but that isn't beign evil

Being acutely aware of the evil you lack is still a component of fully realizing how evil you are.
Kirara, the CatTN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>609732 and you most fucking definitely are pure good
Anno
Your sense of moral evaluation is pretty garbage though.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I can just see beyond your scope
Anno
No, you can't see shit dude.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
You of all people say that
if you are oh so all seeing how would you rate me?
Kirara, the Cat
>>609733 I want to topple civilization, knowing that many people will die if it happens.
Anno
>>609737 I don't need to be all seeing to know you're delusional as all hell. I'm not going to rate you because morality is dumb shit.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>609738 yoy do it to help humanity future generations and entire human race
a zero sum game you already delt in your mind 10 billion dead now is less than 10000 billion in the long run
Kirara, the Cat
Humanity surviving would be nice, but I'm fine if it doesn't. I want to preserve the planet and I'm fine with human extinction if it's necessary.
I would also be happier without civilization.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
universal scale what is one planet berift of life than one cancerous parasite species spreading everywhere?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>609741 see the actions are drastic and results even more so
but in the end they try to reach a good end
Kirara, the Cat
Most people would consider wiping out humanity to be evil.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
that is just viewing things from human centricv view not objective
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Besides our saviour says our timie is limited humanity isn't ment to last forever

if you bring our doom, thatm eans you are the anticrhist and we live the end times and that is good for all of us
