This is a thread for discussing and planning streams that people can host using kissu's own anonymity-supporting cytube fork at https://theatre.kissu.moe/! People can and should make threads for the big day so they can post images and stuff and be more in control, but a thread to talk about stuff was suggested and I think it's a good idea.

It used to come up a lot more when an anime came out, whether anime should try to be more faithful to the source material when adapting even if they weren't going to cover the rest of the story of a manga. I think back then I was more partial towards the faithful camp, because I had more hope for sequels to good series back then that'd continue the series towards its more intended end.

Now though, that wish has been more or less fulfilled with most adaptations sticking close to the source material whether they end on a more conclusive note or not. But at times it feels like that was a monkey paw of sorts. Since now series simply last forever, and there's an infinite amount of different LN/Manga adaptations flowing out the gates each season with zero hope of getting a sequel. They'll always end feeling half-finished (because they are) and plenty of buildup there could be that's packed into the adaptation that has no relevance til later arcs is also left untouched. This leading to the entire anime somewhat suffering for it because it feels more like you wasted your time watching a "Read more by buying the source!" ad than anything. And honestly, when it comes to what studios are adapting nowadays, I feel like scriptwriters in these anime studios could do a far better job with the source material given to them than the majority of LN authors could do with their work.

So the DDDDD thread made me realize that kissu doesn't really have any threads dedicated to manga that I could find. The focus seems to be too much on seasonal anime. I realize that this is because manga is much harder to find/follow than seasonal stuff as there are no clear guidelines for it and Westerners don't read comics nearly as much as the Japanese do.

Anyway, what manga have you been reading recently? I just read the latest chapter of Shimeji Simulation a few days ago. As with anything made by Tsukumizu so far it is great. Definitely recommend it to everyone here and I do hope it eventually gets an anime adaption as well like SSR.

What were they thinking? It's like they couldn't figure out how to make a full-length game so they just split into five different teams and stuck all the resulting minigames together to pad things out. It's super frustrating because the core gameplay is still fun and they clearly proved they could have made a much better game, but they just didn't and covered all the good stuff in as much tedium and distraction as possible.

The RPG-ification of gameplay elements is really weird, even though I like RPGs. I guess it's an easy way to pad out a game, and they even call it stuff like "gamification" now when they apply it to other things.

I think it's because it's something you can add to make it seem like there's more to any game and it gives a sense of progression, but it seems like it takes away more than it adds. Half the upgrades in this game are completely pointless, like a bunch of HP increases and making the stupid dog marginally better at things he's never going to be doing, a few are critical to the core gameplay and make the first bit of the game feel really awkward until you can get them, and then the rest are OP shit that negates the strategy and technique you spent the earlier bits learning. Maybe they want to have that dopamine hit from a big "side quest complete" and need a spendable resource to enable that, but when the gameplay itself is fun you don't need to encourage players to interact with it.

I tried, but it's an exercise in frustration. I think I did try the katakana thing, but it was still hard to do the pitches and such. I think I also tried general TTS tricks, which I can't quite remember. (I think it was like typing "hoo" instead of "who". I didn't fully understand the UI either, but I guess part of the whole "unable to understand Japanese" thing.
After seeing all the AI cover stuff I don't know if this has any chance to gain traction outside Japanese; it's just too much work.

Made a giant bowl of granola to last another couple weeks again. This time I used about 60% as much honey and maple syrup and I can really tell. I never measured it, but I have a feeling for it. I also added more nuts this time: walnuts, cashews and pecans. I wanted to add almonds but I need to get something to chop them up. Do people use a mortar or something? I don't want to turn them into tiny things that will lodge in my throat, but pea-sized things. Granola, nuts, and raisins, raisins, cranberries, peach. Good stuff, but I need to expand. I want to get some flax seed and other boring nutritious stuff I can hide in it.
Anyway, granola is good. When you assemble your own it's like 25% of the price of the "premade" stuff. It's amazing that there's so much of a premium when it's just throwing stuff together in a bowl and crisping them in an air fryer/oven if desired. Good lazy food.

I want to nakadashi *girl* has become a popular phrase on imageboards (mostly 4chan). But it's a mix of Japanese and English. If I was going to say "I want to cum inside Holo" fully in Japanese, how would I go about doing that? In the English sentence, nakadashi is a loan word and it is the action being done, but in Japanese I don't think 中出し is a verb. Can it be verbified by adding する to it? And then you conjugate it to say you "want" to do it. So the end result would be 私はホロで中出ししたい which would translate to I want to cum inside Holo. Am I correct?

Japanese is fun to learn.

Words of "native" or "germanic" origin in Modern English that start with a "g" all use the hard-g sound as in "gift". While "foreign" words of "latin" origin use the soft-g as in "giraffe". The debate between "gif" or "jif" should be seen as an extension of the French linguistic imperialism, imposed upon the common English people since 1066.

"gif" is pronounces with a hard-g, unless you are French sympathizer; in which you deserve to be shot.

I can barely use 4chan these days because of all the captcha fuckery. But even when I still lurk it, from time to time, I find the place just as mentally draining as any big social media site. How do people put up with the constant aggro and bickering over whatever the latest big culture war thing is? Don’t they ever get tired of that? Or making every single piece of media fit into some console war style faggotry with another?

It’s honestly begun to stress me out looking at the place more than ever. I don’t get how people are able to stick to this loop every day.

It's a mix of boredom and constant gratification. Not instant, constant. If you don't notice it early enough and cut it out, you might get caught in this spiral where you check several pages and sites on a loop of sorts where you switch tabs or apps until something catches your eye where you suck it up and move to the next thing the instant your interest in it wanes. Anger is just something that catches interest very easily and if you've browsed 4chan for long enough you might've on more than one occasion started writing a reply falseflagging as the type of response you yourself would hate the most, as an extreme version of what you're stealth mocking in hopes that other people call you out, only to then double down yourself on the message you hate.
It's really weird how things turn out this way, but the average twitter user could spend all day scrolling increasingly faster down some hashtag about a thing they never even heard of just to catch some post they dislike and spend more time getting angry at it.

I don't think people can stay in this state for particularly long though. I didn't bite this cycle too hard myself but I got burnt out on being angry at nobodies online and just stopped going to places full of people being angry on their free time, though it might have something to do with my free time being limited because i'm a filthy wageslave. There's probably a ton of people who burnt out as well and quietly disappeared, only to be replaced with 10 more anger addicts. Whether this effect plateaus on a grand scale or not is yet to be seen, though so far its only been getting worse and more common.

Join a monastery if you want to be an island. Getting mad and doomposting every time someone uses an offensive term for a group of sexual ideologues currently in the social spotlight just spurs on the negativity you're complaining about. It never should have received the attention it has, but it's too late to stop that now and the sooner we accept it's just a generic buzzword insult the sooner we can all stop pretending like the issue matters.
