Pixiv vs Twitter Anonymous 06/01/22 (Wed) 02:12:22 No.90678 [Reply][Last50 Posts]

Which side does /qa/ take? Obviously pixiv would probably be better for searching (although boorus are even more preferable for that) and viewing a long list of art at once. However, in recent days I've been using twitter's feed more and I think that in terms of discovering new artists and likewise finding interesting stuff from people you haven't already followed it's a lot more convenient. Also the previews are a lot easier to see. So in terms of finding content, which do you think makes for the better go-to feed?

Heh, that's pretty good. (and thanks for the translation).
There was that time at the very beginning when there were AI-derived jokes like the rainbow penis that artists drew themselves, but things have advanced a bit too far to see fun errors like that, really. Well, generally.

>Aaron Rodericks didn’t know what he was looking at.
>A post on Bluesky featured a sexualized image of a dragon that shared visual similarities with a human child. It had been reported to the company as a potential violation of the network’s community guidelines, and now it was being reviewed by Bluesky’s head of trust and safety.
>The guidelines ban CSAM, which is illegal to distribute. They say nothing, though, about anthropomorphic dragons. And the artist claimed that the dragon in question was 9,000 years old.

The new league starts in a few hours so I thought I'd advertise the /qa/ mansion guild here in case anyone wants to play it. We're around 6-7 right now, but I have enough guild slots so that we can accommodate pretty much the whole /jp/ spinoff population that still plays games (upper limit of 30-ish if I'm assuming generously). The bulk of us are going to be playing on softcore-ruthless so I'd recommend doing that too if you want to reap the benefits of a shared use stash. But, anyone that just wants a bunch of free space can join to use it in normal/hc too. We have a good deal of space https://files.catbox.moe/b6cox8.jpg so poor NEETs can enjoy the convenience of paying without needing to spend a dime.

So if you're interested post your userid or character name ITT if you want me to invite you, we're fine with anyone that's not a complete subhuman.

I kinda wonder, how do people discover new music today? There's such a vast expanse of stuff out there and most all of it is hidden in its own corner of the internet. If you know what you're searching for maybe it's easier, but finding completely new stuff that appeals to you seems like an extremely tough endeavor. Are there any good methods /qa/ knows of or is word of mouth the best way still?

After years of being told I'm in the wrong line of work I've decided to take a shot at what I was born to do: writing.

I'm going to write and publish a LN before the end of this year. I just wanted to tell someone so I stick to this goal. I don't imagine it'll be that great but I've taken a look at other books and LNs people are publishing and they aren't that great either.

Will my friends here read the first draft when I'm done?

Thread getting bumped is kind of depressing. Since other stuff took so much of my time this year that I haven't gotten anything down yet. I have managed to flesh out the story some more. I have a BIG BAD, I have an MC, I have most of the world fleshed out. I just haven't figured out how I'm going to get from the initial introduction of the first MC to the second real MC.

I'm going to set-up a dedicated emacs machine for writing so I'm not so sidetracked with software projects and try to focus more on this after the holidays. Since every time I got started on this over the last months I'd get side tracked working on my various software projects or video projects. Video stuff ate up A LOT of my time over the summer. Far more than I expected since I ended up working on three shows I never planned to. It got so busy I didn't even finish the one video project I planned on doing this year on time.

what OP/EDs do you like? I was thinking about the popularity of LycoReco when it came out and how nice it'd be to see more anime inspired by gunslinger girl since that was one hell of a boson anime. the OP for it being one of my favorites and having that early 2000s english indie song for its op. also do you remember that in the same season lycoreco aired there was another original anime "engage kiss" that failed miserably and was just a soulless gacha cashgrab checking boxes to try and hook a playerbase, lycoreco had no tie-in and was the biggest anime besides bocchi so goes to show how far creating something good takes you compared to trying to cash out on the trendy market researched ideal money printer

My first time buying a car I went to an honest car dealership that set the price what it is, no up-sells, no hours long financing trying to get you to purchase supplemental yadda yadda yadda. Still managed to haggle like a grand off the car by saying I'd walk lol

A decade ago, I was visiting this shady site selling self-defense lessons and when I moved to close the tab, a voice loudly yelled WAIT! Apparently you can rig your website to play a sound file (they used a baby crying as an example) when you move your cursor to the tab bar. Also a pop up window appeared offering a better deal.

We don't really have haggle culture in my country. People who attempt haggle are just seen as a nuisance and may even be ignored in online second hand trades.
Haggle culture is inefficient for everybody involved. It is better if people try to offer reasonable prices and leave it at that so the buyer and seller does not have to constantly waste time in their life trying to get a better deal. I can't imagine having to haggle all day every day like they do in some of the poorest countries because it's just expected.
I walk into a store and if I don't like the price I leave and find another store. This makes haggling unecessary.

It's fine for large purchases like cars and houses though, it makes more sense to argue for a while when we're talking thousands or hundreds of thousands, but not for cheap items.

I love haggle culture online. Whenever I use ebay I try to find listing that have the "make an offer" to see if I can drop the price. Usually 60-80% of the original list price is achievable. In public is a different matter though. I couldn't imagine haggling at an electronics store or a furniture store or something.

Anonyaamous 12/04/24 (Wed) 08:02:10 No.135709

I'm way too scared of offending other people to try to haggle. I'd much rather not buy it at all.

Thinking a bit more there are stories that elicit feelings of dread and feet. Cousins that make you feel sick for reading them. With that in mind it's possible to make the reader question their mental wellness. But it's far from causing the same outcomes

Did they make any good flash games back then?

Anonyaamous 12/01/24 (Sun) 03:15:22 No.135644>>135648

Yeah, but I kind of struggle to remember ones that aren't pornographic, though. Stuff like that one with Mai from King of Fighters or the JSK Studio stuff. There was that one Crash game where you launched someone with a side view, and uhhh... ummm... hmm.. kind of drawing a blank...
The Touhou flashes I remember were non-interactive

I think I remember a few H ones, but I definitely didn't play much of them. And I'm not even so sure the ones I played were flash or not...

Although I feel like some H-sidescroller flashes I played were originally JP so those might be some.

Just found out about the 2015 janny chat log IRC leaks.
Have you guys already discussed this? Just Google "4chan janitor IRC logs" and look through them. Basically, a janitor went rogue around 2015 and leaked years' worth of IRC logs. They are absolutely hilarious, especially the absolute meltdowns moot and the /jp/ janitors had because of the the various shitposting factions that waged war with them around 2011-2015.

There's a janitor who confesses to taking meth to stay up all night so he can delete more posts (WhatWinterLeft / Saegrimr / Cat looks like janny), a janitor who confesses to molesting his nephew (Kazisho), and more. Also, AoC (previously known as "meido") talks about how he shat himself multiple times in school and received the school nickname of "dooky"

Also, BOOF was /k/'s janitor
VCR_Working and fsdfdsf were also obsessed with /jp/
Janitors from other boards constantly mocked the /jp/ janitors for managing the worst board, and moot publicly humiliated and ultimately expelled some of the /jp/ janitors from that channel

What are your favorite controller designs? Are there any old, system-specific controllers that you prefer to use over modern ones? Or do you like being able to use the same controller for everything now?

I generally enjoy the better ergonomics of the modern ones, but I always feel weird playing N64 games with new controllers because using the right analog stick for the c buttons feels weird, especially for games like Paper Mario where they're used for menus instead of camera controls.

I guess the D-pad would work there. I can't think of any N64 games that use both the D-pad and the analog stick, so as long as you're doing per-game mapping you don't actually need to have both mapped at the same time (same with Z and L). It's still the wrong hand and I feel like that'd create issues with stuff like Banjo that uses the buttons for both camera and special actions via button combos, though.

Weirdly, I think the Xbox UFO controller might be the best substitute since it also has six face buttons thanks to the weirdass black and white buttons that disappeared with the 360. Probably easier to find ripoff N64 controllers than OG Xbox controllers these days, though.

>N64 games that use both the D-pad and the analog stick
Pokemon Stadium (Pokemon Stadium 2 in JP) uses all three ways to hold the controller if you include the minigames, so if you want only one remapping for the entire game you probably want to map the control stick to both analog sticks, and two of the C buttons are going to have to be mapped to weird leftover buttons like R1/R2, Select, L3, or R3.
Tsumi to Batsu (Sin and Punishment) lets you aim the gun with either your right thumb or your left thumb while you use the D-pad or the C buttons to move around.
>Banjo
Banjo has been brought over to newer consoles, so you could try loosely basing your remapping on the newer control schemes made for those.

For 2d, nip Saturn controller.
For 3d, I mostly use a ds4 out of habbit but I have a ds3 and 360 controller.

Dishonorable mention to the Dreamcast. Worst controller ever even xbox fat in my tiny hands was less annoying since at least its analog worked.

>I wonder why they didn't just go with this labeling for B and A in the end, with B as the left button and A as the bottom button.
Miyamoto gave an answer in this interview:

ゲームボーイのボタンに合わせて、そのような配置にしたんです
The decision was made to position A and B in such a way as to match the Game Boy's buttons, with the B Button diagonally below and to the left of the A Button. But on the Game Boy this diagonal slant isn't as pronounced.
Confusingly, a non-negligible number of SFC/SNES titles still ended up using B as a "confirm" button.
