Was thinking about reading all of Go Nagai's works but then realized it'd probably be impossible given just how much he wrote. It's pretty insane compared to almost any other mangaka out there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Nagai_bibliography

What are the most notable ones to check out though? I've read Devilman, some Harenchi Gakuen, some Mazinger, Cutie Honey, and all of Getter (although does that really count?) Was considering watching and maybe reading Dororon Enma-kun next (OVA/Remake TV) since the OP was cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIsQqRoyKqo

>It's only 13 chapters long.
Yeah, but most chapters have between 50 and 90 pages, so it's still fairly long. According to Kodansha's site, the official total is 912 pages:
https://kc.kodansha.co.jp/title?code=1000002347
You can see it if you select a volume and check out the ページ数 part, they're each of average length. Really though, my point is that with these three alone you already end up with 19 volumes, that's pretty sizeable already. But add Abashiri Family's further 15 volumes (where a molester is accidentally swallowed up by a giantess so to rescue him they make her shit him out? wtf), 9 more from Guerrilla High, Maboroshi Panty and Kekkou Kamen, then 7 from Oira Sukeban, 9 from Susano Oh, and then you end up with a total of fifty nine volumes, which is "shonen running weekly for ten years" territory, longer than Dragon Ball but not quite as long as Naruto or Bleach.

It's interesting, I get the impression that originally he liked to work more with (relatively) shorter stories, since the first runs of those mentioned in >>125029 are actually in line with the ones listed above, in the 4-7 range for Devilman, Mazinger, Getter, and Jack. It's in its second part that Jack goes way higher, for example.

A lot of this untranslated stuff like Samurai World though. There's also Hanappe Bazooka which has 10 vols but was only translated up to chapter 4 (less than 10% since it has 41 chapters). Also has a 45 min OVA.

All hail the father of mecha and pervy shit in anime/manga.

A cool thing about Devilman is that you can see the influence it had on Berserk right in the first chapter (it's not present in certain editions however). The demons in the Great War of Gods are obviously reminiscent of the Eclipse demons in Berserk. And also the obvious parallels between Akira/Ryo and Guts/Griffith.

Somebody told me that digitization will let us preserve things forever, but I feel like it's the opposite because of how complicated accessing digital data is and how fast technological systems evolve. Old formats get superseded by updated ones and niche platform-specific ones get abandoned when that platform does. We can look at a wall relief from 5000 years ago and work out an approximation of what it was saying just by looking at it, but how would you get any data out of a floppy filled with files for a program that hasn't been updated in 100 years?

Eventually the effort of maintaining compatibility with old things is going to cause data to be effectively lost, but some formats will obviously last longer than others. Personally, I think the humble .txt file will outlast most others because its simple, yet vitally important to many basic computing tasks so you can't easily get rid of it and there's not much incentive to improve the format. That said, I could also see a specialized format that is used for something like .nes which is used pretty much just to preserve old data being maintained by enthusiasts while more general-purpose formats get killed off to force people to adopt newer ones. Which ones do you think will pass the test of time and which will be be the quickest to die out?

Hey Kissu Kissu! Would you like to play Sonic Karts sometime? I have created an addon pack with some fun stuff included! If someone else is willing to host it, that would be cool, but if not, I can always do it myself.

The download includes everything needed to host and play the game, plus a custom client created by 4/vm/ that adds new features to the game.

Game plus addons download: https://mega.nz/file/mJYUhJBR#UmY_51jm0gQkjk3uZa512Z09T75V8GujKVscg7clX0s

4/vm/ client source code: https://gitlab.com/c3851/srb-2-k-cep

Stuff added via addons:- Custom characters! https://files.catbox.moe/v72z70.webm If you have characters you want, feel free to suggest more!
- Wide variety of tracks. About 42 map packs worth of maps!
- A Kissu theme pack with custom music and graphics on the voting screen.
- The in-game HUD is colorized to your chosen color, including the new speedometer and drift gauge.
- A hitfeed that shows when people hit each other or fall off the map.
- Timers on the bottom of the screen that shows how long your sneakers, your mini-turbos, or you being spun-out lasts
- A simple trick system. Tap brake after a jump to get a small speed boost when landing. It is on a cool down timer after you do it.

File:AI Song.mp3 (2.56 MB) [play once] [loop]

As 'primitive' as it is, I've been a fan of this song for years. There's plenty enough generic music made by humans, that I see little point making more just like it with AI - the bigger potential IMO is for using it to make music that sounds inhuman, just as how Vocaloid is at its best when treated as its own style, not as a poor imitation of human vocals.

I can't decide if this guy is using AI voice generation or is actually this good of a mimic. But he's producing content at an amazing rate and most of it is good. I don't listen to a lot of rap music anymore (mostly just K-rino) but this guy drops a new album every month or two and I always give them a listen.

I think AI music is like all AI-art. It can be a great tool in the hands of an actual artist. But a lot of people aren't the creative types and they produce mountains of garbage just because they now have the ability to pump it out.

I've noticed a ton of new youtube channels lately that do nothing but post AI generated click-bait. Some of them have millions of views and from the comments it's obvious most people can't tell. I've seen some other suspect stuff on youtube lately as well. A lot of "face reveals" lately that are obviously some kind of AI+face tracking and/or so-called "deepfakes".

It's been a while since Kissu's played any games together, and with the interests in agriculture becoming more relevant and Stardew having finally received its multiplayer update recently, I was thinking now is as good a time as ever to see if there's interest in cultivating together. I think in comparison to the upcoming Factorio expansion it should be a nice relaxing intermission people will enjoy.

What is your definition of a complete game? If it is fulfilling the original vision then it's a finished game, anything new is just extra free stuff. Would you rather devs take a paradox model and ship post launch updates as endless torrents of DLC? Or should they just drop it and never touch it again no matter what new ideas come to mind? Is anything ever really finished then?

Does /qa/ have any experience with ebook readers? I've been getting back into reading recently, and although I like the ebook reader app I have on my Android phone (ReadEra), it's not entirely pleasant; my phone is a bit weighty so it's tiring to hold, and it strains my eyes after reading for a while.

The most obvious choice seems to be a Kindle, but it seems kind of opaque what the differences are between models other than storage. I'm really not a fan of them seemingly being permanently tethered to the cloud and this "ad-supported" thing seems annoying as well. Ideally, I would have something that I can move my own ebooks onto just by plugging it into my PC. USB C is a hard requirement as well; I can't believe Amazon was selling Kindles with the worst charging connector of all time, micro USB, up until 2021.

Looking at the prices for the features that matter to me... I'm really wondering if it would be worth it buying one at all. From what I understand, I would probably be looking at buying some Android e-ink tablet, but those don't seem to have the best reputation online (?) and I can't imagine any are particularly lightweight. My phone is ~200g and that feels a bit too heavy for me. Anything tablet sized I'm sure would be too heavy for me.

Yes, but there's a little bit of work you'll need to do. If your manga are in .CBZ files, you'll need to convert them to .EPUB. I personally use Kindle Comic Converter. You can technically load .CBZ files if you want, but they'll have no metadata other than the title, and page turning will typically be very slow. Converting to .EPUB let's you import those converted .CBZs into Calibre and add metadata to the files. You can technically just use Calibre to convert to .EPUB, but IIRC it's just not as granular as Kindle Comic Converter.

I should also add that for whatever reason if you add .KEPUB, before the .EPUB file extension, things will load faster and for normal text EPUBs you'll get access to things like changing the font. For regular ebooks it's fine to use Calibre to convert to .KEPUB, but you'll need to download a plug-in inside of Calibre to do that.

Well, it has come out. It looks fairly okay all things considered, but it would appear to make any use of the color feature you really need to be using the glow light, which may negate some of the benefits of using e ink (namely the long battery life). Without the glow light it certainly looks muddy and poorly saturated as Kaleido tends to look. It's a bit darker than normal a normal e ink display without the glow light to compensate, as you can see here: https://youtu.be/UEGPFIpJz98?t=421 (Jump to 7:05, for reference). In a few reviews I noticed that you can see some diagonal lines in some of the up-close shots of the devices. After some thinking, I'm pretty sure this is because of the LCD layer being fairly low resolution... A cheap trick they use is marketing the resolution by stating the PPI. For color, that's 150 PPI, and for black and white it's 300 PPI. As the device has a black and white resolution of 1264 x 1680, that means the color resolution is a quarter of that at 683 x 840. I'm not sure how big of a deal that really is, not having seen the deivce myself in person to tell, but the lower resolution of the color layer doesn't appear to result in any weird aliasing in any reviews, so it's probably not an issue in reality.

I've noticed that there's a bit of talk here and there at times about big named directors like Shinbo or Ikuhara in threads about there respective anime. Similarly there's "the /qa/ voice" and a few threads in the past made about favorite seiyuu's. With the more recent Seiyuu Radio thread I got a bit more interested in asking /qa/, how much do you pay attention to who's making the anime you enjoy and how conscious of their work are you while watching?

For myself I mostly know seiyuu, studios, composers, singers, and directors since those are more the big in your face part of anime, but I also can recognize a few character designers like Akio Watanabe/Amazuyu Tatsuki. I also know a few (non-director) animators by name, though I can't really tell who's who from just watching an anime like it's occasionally possible to do with directors/studios. Not even sure if it is possible.

Maybe it's a bit meta for some people, but I think it can be valuable and give you a greater appreciation of anime you really enjoy or lead you to finding other works with them included that you may also love. It can also be an interesting experience to go through the catalog of a director to watch how they grew over the years. A similar thing applies to seiyuu, and with them there's also the feeling of hearing a new voice you don't recognize that absolutely hits it out of the park and astounds you, like Utena from MahoAko.

AniDB is definitely very informative. I think it mostly suffers from a UI that doesn't really capture people's attention. You only get a few seconds to have a first impression and it fails to compare to MAL and anlist in that regard. Personally I use anilist because easily connects to Taiga. ANiDB is far more trustworthy when it comes to ratings, needless to say. If it did somehow get a sudden influx of say 50,000 users I wonder if the site and staff could support it.

I've thought about it before. The site could easily be near-perfect in regard to completeness but I just don't think that's going to happen unless something significant changes. People don't like the UI which causes less people to join, change requests can pend for literal years which causes less people to continue contributing, the list goes on. There being several "competitor" sites doesn't help either, since a lot of people just contribute to AniList or MAL instead which seems like a fool's errand imo, they're so incomplete and will never be complete since they exclude so much.

>>124147
The site could probably handle it since donations go above the goal every time they're done, but the staff absolutely couldn't since they struggle to maintain what they currently have. Returns to the point about staff apathy, the senior moderators just don't care anymore and there's too much of a backlog of change requests to realistically work through with the current (relatively) active staff.

Some people assume that product quality is a bell curve, centered on the the middle of the likeability spectrum. This leads to the center being the most common mark, and the extremes the least common (or even taboo).
That is an assumption. There is no evidence that it is true. And by making the full point scores so rare, you are creating an exclusive label. This can easily turn from merely a personal judgement to a confirmation of your community's values and then into something yet more perverted.
"Look here upon the Great Classics. This is what [medium] should aspire to be. Unfortunately, modern creators only care for money."

It is hard to measure enjoyment. It's a subjective experience. It not only varies from person to person, but also between repetitions of the same stimulus. And that is precisely why we all are so vulnerable to having assumptions as described above distorting our judgements. Distorting? Arguably, we would not be able to give a judgement at all if not for a framework. Assumptions are, in a way, necessary.
But I want to propose, as an alternative, a flat fun curve. Where the enjoyment spectrum can easily be divided into n different segments with each segment containing as many items as every other one. n/n would be no smaller a set than (n-1)/n.

Unlike the typical fantasy demons though the world in this treats them as beings on the opposite spectrum of gods, so for the MC being faced with just a botched fragment of the insurmountable being felt completely hopeless. Though a convenient plot thing happened that allowed the issue to go away, it did well at showing the sheer scale of power displayed by the demon fragment. It got me wondering, what are some good examples of media /qa/ knows that tackle this lovecraftian feel properly? It seems difficult for most authors to really present to their audience creatures whose scale is just infinitely above what can possibly be defeated in traditional manners.

From Touhou, when Yukari isn't being a complete dork and jobs to villain of the month, she exhibits this perfectly. Her power of manipulating boundaries is purposefully vague and is only as powerful as the author wants it to be. Canon doesn't explore this very often since they're just not Yukari centric and her Gaps are mainly just useful plot devices, in fanon on the otherhand, some works explore this to the extremes. From simply pulling lovecraftian horrors out of a hat, to changing the way the world works around you, shattering common sense and logic, and playing with boundary of right and wrong or real and imaginary.

It kinda reminds me of the funny faces in western web animations. Wonder if they actually were able to cross overseas and have influence over in Japan since Niconico lost popularity.

It's not western corruption, it's a guy using proportions derpier than usual predominantly for contrast. Here the chibi looks all normal, but >>124121 is him being menacing.

Is that you aren't encouraged to contribute and make well written posts on the ones that move too fast. It's easier to just be a shitposting moron since it might feel like trying to contribute doesn't pay off due to everything archiving quickly. This is why 4chan is so low quality in general, and this is exacerbated even more by the fact that everyone sees it as a site where you can be retarded/controversial without any repercussions due to anonymity. The result is a very negative and 'toxic' environment which is likely bad for your mental health. However, 4/qa/ during our time went against this culture. If your thread was good we would try to keep it alive as long as possible through constant bumps and bumpbots. This in turn encouraged users to be less negative and try to contribute more towards its culture. 4/qa/ as its 2D/Random incarnation was really a community effort unlike anything ever seen on 4chan before. We did not rely on the staff to do anything for ourselves, we self-moderated. But of course, good things aren't allowed to exist on modern 4chan, so they were against this concept and tried to impose as many restrictions on the board as possible to counter that until everyone got fed up and left. I bet they weren't expecting for something even worse to take our place though.

Kissu is pretty removed from 4/qa/ at this point, but elements of its culture are still very present here. You see people making well thought and well written posts all the time and quality of discussion is generally much higher than at 4chan.

I want to enjoy a certain atmosphere as a lurker but the boards I liked disappeared a long time ago like iichan, wakachan, desuchan. The last 10 years of boards were mostly about currently airing anime and not much else outside of blogging.

Blue /b/ era /v/, from before the crackdown and /vg/ spinoff.
And /sp/ had a lot of that 'fuck you we'll talk about what we feel like' culture too in its heyday.

I don't really know much about what's going on, but there's some brouhaha with reddit about API access now costing money and people are talking about it a lot in the happenings thread, which is off-topic to the thread, so here's a thread for it.

in terms of expenses, the issue is likely being too general in what you allow. A focused site can exist easily with high capacity.
You can look at a few of those hacker forums for example. Very focused and collapse from the idiocy of the owners.

>it's the place where people go to look at (un)funny memes about video games that make them think "wow, so true".

Its also a place where people get a very warped view of reality because of the way things are curated and that many redditors only social interaction is reddit. Its worse than Twitter in that way

Really? 4chan has plenty of them, sure, but most of the redditors I've met are just the "kind of nerdy" people who integrate a basic understanding of low-level internet culture into their riajuu lives. None of what I've seen there has enough of a sense of community to substitute for IRL friends.

There was a moderator strike around the same time on stack exchange that recently concluded:
https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/391847/moderation-strike-results-of-negotiations
The negotiation mostly focuses on AI policy, but they also made stack exchange to announce commitment to API and datadump access, as they suspended datadumps earlier but reverted it due to heavy backlash.
They achieved a lot more than the reddit strike did which I think there wasn't any.

Because those are not efficient systems and the official app outclasses any third party in terms of features. Reddit is not just a discussion site its an ecosystem.

I tried making my computer stuff look unique when I was a teenager. I even recorded myself to have special sounds (though I ended up getting annoyed hearing my own voice every time I opened a window, so the only ones that remained were for boot-up and boot-down).
Nowadays, I just want my computer to do the things I want it to do without annoying me. Most of the internet is designed to annoy, so you've gotta have apps that put limits on what the internet can do.
I really don't care for themes, outside of them being sufficiently dark so that at nighttime it doesn't feel like I'm staring right at the sun.
