- Comment on CITY THE ANIMATION - Episode 5 discussion 4 days ago:
I wasn’t sure what to expect after the production team told people that episode 5 would show them something they’ve never seen before, but heavy use of mixed media claymation, what must be a new record of simultaneous split-screen footage and experimental animation techniques to focus on various details of a giant animated shot surprised me either way. I’m not sure if this episode will work for everyone, but it’s honestly so technically impressive that you have to watch it. I’m sure that the staff had fun working on this, even with the amount of work it must have been.

It’s the opposite for me. I’ve enjoyed each Episode more than the previous one, with the exception of some standout gags - like the yakisoba bag incident, which is a master class in direction, animation, setup and timing. It’s probably one of my favorite animated scenes ever.

This isn’t an issue if you give private information to “good” companies since they don’t suffer data breaches. Make sure to check their website for the authentic “good company” seal.

This just makes it extra frustrating when many people reacted to these news with indifference. They are not visible by default. You can hide general tags and specific games from your view very easily. There is no need to celebrate arbitrary censorship by puritans or hate groups, just because it doesn’t negatively affect your primary usage of a product.
- Comment on romm v4.0.0 (self-hosted ROM manager/player) has been released 2 weeks ago:
To me this looks nothing like Discord beyond having a compact sidebar… In fact, I would hope that Discord never inspires any software UI, because it really fucking sucks.
It’s probably not a good idea to infer how privacy friendly an open source software is, based on such a superficial visual similarity to a closed source proprietary product.
- Comment on Hair color is a spectrum 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it looks very much like that picture, at least in any crowd I’ve seen. Japanese society is pretty uptight about visually standing out too much. It’s all relegated to specific locations or events. Comiket is one example, because the many attending cosplayers are impossible to spot outside of the actual location (unless you count their luggage). Compared to similar events in europe, most of which are way smaller, you’ll see extravagantly dressed people with bright hair colors in a large radius and on public transport.

Of all comedy anime I have watched, this probably has the best direction. Incredible stuff.
- Comment on See You Tomorrow at the Food Court • Food Court de, Mata Ashita. - Episode 1 discussion 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t seen this episode yet, but most of the low budget comedy anime adaptations fuck up the comedic timing in my experience. Mostly by lingering too long on random shots (padding the runtime I suppose). Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai comes to mind.

For the UK maybe. I still don’t see why the entire EU needs to be affected.

Using Traefik outside of k8s is for masochists. Especially after configv2. Caddy is by far the easiest reverse proxy to configure and has the sanest defaults.

- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 5 weeks ago:
I wasn’t looking for technical support. You can do everything correctly and still get your mails randomly marked as spam or not delivered at all. This has happened to us, some of our customers, multiple smaller email providers as well as several municipalities (imagine blackholing government emails, what a grand idea). They don’t send sensible return headers, they might not even return your undelivered mail at all, they won’t react to any inquiries to their postmaster contact (or anywhere else really), they will blacklist entire IP blocks sometimes. The only way to sidestep any issues with them is to pay a few thousand bucks to enter their
cool kids clubcertified sender alliance, which is what the big marketing firms use to deliver mass amounts of unwanted ads unhindered through their networks. - Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 5 weeks ago:
It is cheap, but the performance leaves much to be desired and their technical support is piss poor.
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 5 weeks ago:
I’ve had the opposite experience with their cloud services in a professional context. My biggest gripe is with United Internet, the monopolistic company that owns IONOS, 1&1 (an ISP) as well as the ad-ridden, flaming pile of garbage that are GMX and WEB.DE, two of the most popular email service providers in Germany as well as a constant source of pain for anyone operating an Email server. They will ignore common industry standards and best-practices, silently block your mailserver for absolutely no reason, not respond to inquiries and just generally make the internet a slightly worse place for small to medium sized businesses and selfhosters.
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 5 weeks ago:
It’s an alternative, but IONOS honestly fucking sucks as well, so I’m feeling pretty ambivalent about this.

There’s a link for alternate packings on that page, where you can see older versions, some with more aesthetically pleasing patterns of minimal tilted squares or symmetry. All of them use a larger value for

You have no idea how the people complaining about video game prices spend their money. You just disagree with them and make shit up apparently.

1992 was a very different time with very different market conditions and consumer behaviour for video games. Games used to have a much greater perceived entertainment value, despite their relatively small development budgets compared with today. They were also entirely physical media and renting was still a very common way to play them. From what I remember, it wasn’t the most financially accessible hobby either. Most of my friends growing up didn’t have permanent access to their own gaming console and not everyone that did had all the latest games. Nowadays, the gaming market is completely saturated with high quality titles, most of which are fairly cheap as well if you don’t buy them on release.
In any case: Super Mario Bros 3 came out in 1988 and released 1990 and 1991 for the US and Europe respectively. It also didn’t cost $59 and your inflation calculation seems off…
- Comment on Chainsaw Man Limited Edition Blu-ray Set Launches This July 3 months ago:
Blue Locks animation fucking sucks and was a result of poor management and unrealistic time constraints. That the final result is even watchable, given the production woes, may be a credit to the poor animators and editors, but it doesn’t “work well”. The existence of worse animation doesn’t make it better either. A minimal animation style can work, if it was planned from the beginning, but that wasn’t the case with Blue Lock.

Sorry, no idea. I think I’ve only ever watched other people play multiplayer supcom and the few tutorials I watched were for Forged Alliance Forever. This is the kind of stuff I was watching a decade ago. Check it out if you’re into old gameplay videos with a crusty mic track. :D

If your mass storage is full, any excess is wasted, so you should always try to make sure that it is being spent on something useful. SC1/FA incentivizes a constant balancing of your economy.
You can reclaim mass from dead units (even civilians), buildings, rocks, trees etc. Trees also give a bunch of energy which can be useful very early on. A failed attack will quite often turn out to be a mass donation that gets recycled into an army for realiation. All of this might be balanced differently between the different versions of the game, so I can’t be sure that it applies all that well to base SC1 vs. FA or even FAF.
Don’t build all your energy reactors in a big cluster if you can help it. One well placed attack will blow the whole thing up in a chain reaction. On the other hand, sabotaging your opponents power grid is often a solid strategy.
If anyone is interested in FAF and wants to take a look at some different levels of gameplay, check out GyleCast on YouTube.
