It's hard not to like Dr Leskinen, even knowing who he actually is and what he's up to Just a very likeable character
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
what is he up to
S C
uh, he works with the US intelligence agencies and intends to steal the time machine just as WW3 erupts, a plan he concocted in the future and relayed to his past self via a brainwashed child
S C
Because S;G works with world lines, the obvious paradoxes involved aren't an issue Effects of time travel can exist without ultimate causes as a result of how the whole thing works, basically
Maho just has big gremlin energy She's not in the original, shows up in S;G0 which basically picks up after a revised finale where Okabe doesn't try a second time to save Kurisu and persists in the doomed, kurisu-less timeline which will inevitably devolve into WW3
Maho knew Kurisu as well so the two of them ge along fairly well
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>>/watch?v=WXchEIP5vIo didn't know this was happening i wonder if it's a straight remake or another timeline
Well if Suzuha (young adult) is there, it's gotta be an alternate timeline, no? well, remake would make some sense too yeah, I guess But I dunno, a remake seems meaningless, they already remade the VN for the anime S;G ELITE is the VN but the story's a little adjusted to fit the anime, and uses animation from the anime and stuff, I think
Maybe RE:BOOT is the other way around, new anime but following the VN completely?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
idk she was in the original too
S C
no wait that's Huke art in the first place, that's an announcement of a VN, not an anime So yeah I bet that's either a continuation of S;G true ending, or yet another alternate timeline
It'd be really cool if it was set in 2036 and followed the gang dealing with SERN and stuff, but that seems unlikely given the existence of Kurisu and also Daru not being slimmed down
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
it's the exact same but luka starts out as a girl this time
S C
The exact same but time shifted and Luka transitions and is already dating Okabe so he never gets that close to Kurisu, and medetashi medetashi True ending is Mayuri\WW3 route
they're losing part of the logo the same way they'll lose part of your data
Anno
>>1141666 I think when the news of it was announced, the translating English news sources I saw for it called it a remake So it'll probably follow the same story beats Maybe they'll add more routes or elaborating content
Anno
I assume it'll still take place in the same time setting as the original Since the initial setting for Steins;Gate is a love letter to Akihabara in the era the VN was written, and Akiba is a drastically different place these days
That's not actually Kurisu, to be clear Well I mean it is Kurisu, but it's an AI built by uploading her memories onto a server, before she left the US to go to Japan that fateful summer
Of course, those familiar with the story knows how that goes, but I really think it's neat how it both ties in how she knew how to make the time leap machine addons, and also addresses why the world goes to actual SHIT if she dies
The SERN Dystopia was, for all its faults, at least without actual conflict You either got erased from the timeline at a young age, or you lived a long, if repressed and unfulfilling life
S C
I mean Suzuha mentions it in the anime too, but in the VN she makes it even more clear It's not that there's no more war, there's no more conflict People don't fight, like literally people don't even get openly angry with each other in the SERN NWO
Anno
Yeah but a world where Marsh can't hurl Australian insults at me hardly feels like a life worth living
man they really cut out a lot from the anime, huh? Or maybe I'm just on a branch of the timeline the anime didn't go down, not entirely sure Don't think so, pretty sure the stuff here was just cut for time, and kind of as a result screwed with the relevant plot details Alas
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
they cut stuff from the anime? but it was so long shows how insanely long VNs are
Well in the original S;G anime, they did cut some stuff, yeah, but honestly it wasn't all that much Noticable, sure, but not enough to cut much of the plot details short, didn't really leave you going "wait what the fuck was that about then?" you know?
I actually figured out what the two warning mails Obake gets were too It was MISTAH BRAUN trying to warn him cause obviously he heard all their chatter about time machines and stuff, and really didn't want to get the order to, you know, deal with Okabe Though probably also in very large part he didn't want Okabe to find an IBN 5100
Finishing the time machine wouldn't be that big of an issue, it's not like he'd have to execute Okabe for that, seeing as SERN actually wants to use rather than eliminate those sorts of people if possible But if Okabe got an IBN, and Braun found out, he'd have to secure the IBN and then take himself out, leaving Nae all alone
But anyway in S;G0 the bit about Reading Steiner not being entirely unique to Okabe is expanded upon a bit, and it's kind of a seemingly big deal I don't know how this resolves in the VN yet, I'm still FAR from the true ending, I haven't even gotten an ending yet and I intend to get all of them and finish with the True Ending, but I can't imagine this is just something they dropped in without a resolution cooking
That and I suppose kind of obviously, the anime only concerns itself with the true ending in the first place Suzuha Route never comes up in the S;G anime, for example, because all the branches cut the story short at that point in time
S C
well, in suzha's case very literally it does, but I don't imagine that goes for the other ones
Anno
If I remember correctly, a chunk of the stuff they cut from the game for the anime was stuff like, route bad ends Like in the anime there's a montage of Okabe failing to save Mayushi, including one where she's made of goo stuck halfway through a wall That was an actual bad end in the VN
S C
hm...? I don't remember that when I played through it earlier must have been luka or faris' routes? I mean it's not like there are outright bad ends, to begin with
S C
hell, surprisingly, the whole "oh, my watch stopped" bit seems to be an anime-original Mayuri never mentions her pocketwatch stopping during those repeats in the vn
S C
Also isn't it kinda silly how hopping between world lines is described as people's memories being rewritten? Like I mean, it's not like the RESULT there is wrong, but that's not really... a good way to put it, right? Reality itself is rewritten, the simulation's reset to the time when the time traveling thing showed up, and then things play out from there And even that is seemingly not entirely accurate, there's no real reason \\\ information on whether timelines persist after sending something back to the past that successfully impacts events
I mean based on the information we do have about S;G's structure, it should be outright impossible for anyone without Reading Steiner to discover time travel in the first place. If the timeline persists, then they can only conclude they failed because nothing changed, and if it doesn't, the timeline changes to one where they never did whatever successfully changed the timeline, which we know happens with every single d-mail if nothing else Like if you succeed at sending something back in time, but your timeline keeps going, you have to just assume you failed, just like everyone did in the WW3 future of S;G0 Okabe did one final time leap, or tried to. But nothing happened. And so they lived with it, Okabe no doubt more confused and frustrated than anyone, since he's never been in a situation where the time leap machine was used and the user just remained there
I mean hell, canonically there's only one other person than him who even used it, and while it didn't activate reading steiner due to its seeming low impact on the timeline, said mystery user did "disappear" from his perspective, even though that's only because he's like, a fixture of the "active" timeline without it, he'd just see that certain someone standing over the machine like "what the fuck... it doesn't work anymore now?"
S C
Well, I suppose nobody else has ever been in a situation where the time leap machine was even used in the first place, throughout the whole series there's only one person who has more than Okabe's word that it functions in the first place
The more you think about the mechanics of S;G the more confusing things get though Because you end up with questions like, "what determines whether an okabe has reading steiner or not?" Because there ARE okabes in all those potential alternate timelines, there is an okabe that picks up the phone in the past, an okabe without reading steiner, whose soul is overwritten by our boy, and it truly is his soul narratively speaking, not merely his memories, being shunted across time The okabe in the past, should he have reading steiner, would... no, maybe he'd pick up the phone either way? it's not like we can know that, I guess
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
does your body disappear when you use the machine to send your soul back
S C
Naw Or well, it depends on whether the timeliness tangibly exist in parallel or not, technically But if they do, the result of a successful time leap should, for anyone watching and the actual body that used the machine, be an assumed malfunction The timeline that received the time leap can't really be the same one that sent it, it branches I mean with long enough jumps that don't end up shunting you into a different attractor field, it should be possible, but even then you'll assume it didn't do anything because well... You're still standing there

I recently found out that academia has been lying to me for years by saying that computers use truncated taylor series to calculate the values of transcendental functions.
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
lol academia? out of touch with the real world? impossible

I think the real reason is that Pade approximants are outside of the scope of most highschool and undergraduate courses though I guess since the pade approximants do use taylor series coefficients ... anyways I think my numerics class should've covered these I'm reasonably certain the professor was aware of them given the kind of work he does

I don't really know much about Nin switch thought of buying one on cyberM but decided not too, like have had many HH's but really didn't ever have a color, DS or switch ever. the steam HH looked preaty cool and theres tons of games. I wonder if there a way on switch to bring in wifi from father away like if you where out of range on an acess point and the only one game that you bought/cloud afford got borning, and you wanted to play online?
Don't usually buy something to just get it cause other ppl get it and only caude it's hype or something, I'll get into something if it's peeked, or theres an something of interest that draws you to it. Some one browed a ds and a rpg I can't remember and it was really fun playing it on the way to work, coouldn't get down with DS or light the screen was too small but switch is more like what I look for in a HH. cause**
one thing about the switch don't like is it takes up alot of room iin your pocket it's not exactlly compact, thats would be good for watching crunchyroll though. And movies, would be for good veiwing, it's touch scren so you could prob draw with it.
Anno
>>1141875 The Switch has a Micro SD memory card slot, so even if you get bored with the cartridge game you have slotted in, you can install plenty of games on a memory card And that's on top of the internal drive which could store a few games on it too As far as online play goes, I don't think any Switch model has a particularly good WiFi radio. If you just wanted something for Internet access for light video streaming or for downloading software, it'll suffice In the end WiFi is only as good as the device which is broadcasting the signal. No amount of tech in the Switch is going to let you grab a WiFi signal outside of its range But as long as you're not solely interested in games which require a persistent Internet connection, like something along the lines of an MMO or strictly multiplayer games, the Switch is an excellent offline console

when I was in Japan lining up at the subway station ticket machine there was this youngish guy, dressed to the absolute nines. He would put most cosplayers to shame. Face was covered in some sort of powder/cream to make it glow paper white. boots with like 3 inch heals made of leather. Clothes looked like some sort of robes out of a future sci-fi fantasy.
It reminded me of what some of the god sky people wore in Bleach. and the craziest part was that he didn't seem like he was on the way to a concert or a convention or anything. Just wanted to dress like that to walk around town.
I actually asked him if i could take a picture. (SUUMEE MASEN - SHASHIIN DE IIIEE DESUKA)) and he said No. But was really nice and apologetic about it. He made like a cross with his arms . seemed like he was kind of shy, which is also kind of funny, because if he was trying to go unnoticed he certainly wasn't dressed inconspicuously
