  1. Moby, explain this Dorime meme to me.

      I have no idea on what you are talking about. I dont really follow Latin America memes because they are all low quality, ironic and deep fried.

      From looking around, it seems the song Ameno from ERA was used in some latin memes as some sort of praying, then it turned into some low effort remixes of the song.

  2. I know this is a late insight but...

     

    Did Japan really just lobby for the 2020 Olympics because that's when they happened in Akira?

      They're trying to make anime real. RED ALERT.

      I mean if Akira was going to be real then Tokyo would have gotten completely fucked by a kid with psychic powers in 2019, so I think we're okay.

      You're asking this when companies shat out the Back to the Future products they were supposed to have by 2015?

  5. Today I realized that if I had an HDMI to component adaptor I could record my computer on my VCR.  Thus I could record a Vtuber livestream on VHS.

     

    Such a thing would almost certainly be one of a kind and thus in ten years would be worth either a fair amount... or absolutely nothing.

    1. Gyokuyoutama

      Gyokuyoutama

      Here are the factors which would maximize value:

       

      -Retro and/or Synthwave themed Vtuber

      -Unarchived stream

      -Vtuber not popular now, but gets popular in the future, thus making the recording the only copy of the stream (this would be the hardest to game obviously)

    2. Raison d'être

      Raison d'être

      Depending on how many tapes you have you could just scour the 2views list on Twitch and record one stream each to widen your net as much as possible. Could probably make a net profit on it ten or so years down the line.

      Record a playthrough of a vaporwave game on VCR, something like Broken Reality.

  7. I was fiddling around with an old mp3 player of my brother's that he had left at my parents years ago.  All the buttons on the outside are busted, but I thought maybe I could get it working.  I couldn't get it to play music, but I did get into the file structure and saw names that both resembled my humor far more than his and referenced stuff that he wouldn't have been interested in (like Big O and Aura Battler Dunbine.)

     

    I hooked it up to my computer and apparently I used it as a makeshift external hard drive backup of my first personal computer.  In addition to a gig of the first music I downloaded from the internet, there were also about 60 books in .txt format, lots of various school assignments, some old java programs I made, and Hello! style archives of the very first forum I was active on.  I only vaguely remember making the decision to transfer this stuff over to the mp3 player, and as far as I remember I never transferred them to any other device before now.

    1. Raison d'être

      Raison d'être

      Sweet, free mp3 player!

    2. Gyokuyoutama

      Gyokuyoutama

      Now it's pretty much only an external harddrive.  Most buttons on the mp3 player are broken, including the play button and most of the navigation buttons.  (Notably once you go into a folder the only way to go back is to reboot the whole system.)  It has a remote that might work, though the battery in it is almost certainly dead.

       

      On another note I had ignored it for a while since when you boot it up you get random garbage characters so I had assumed the hard drive was fried.  Turns out that these are just music files from the Dunbine soundtrack that had Japanese names that the display wasn't set up to show properly.

      My car has a USB port that you can put a flash drive with music files on and it will play them, and unfortunately it just cannot handle japanese characters which is extremely unfortunate for my love live mixtape

  9. In "The Marriage of Mrs. Fox" (Die Hochzeit der Frau Füchsin) Mrs. Fox's husband has nine tails and is quite proud of this fact.  You can see this in this Brothers Grimm cartoon from way back:

     

     

    I guess this is technically an anime even though I think it was primarily made for European audiences.  But the detail appears in the original fairy tale, as the very first line goes: "Es war einmal ein alter Fuchs mit neun Schwänzen" i.e. "there once was an old fox with nine tails."

     

    Anyway, this is literally the only time I've seen references to foxes having multiple tails in a western, non-influenced by Japan work.  The fact that there are nine tails specifically is stranger still, as just having multiple would be enough for the story to work.

     

    The story is basically about worrying about getting cucked and faking his death to see what happens only for his wife to be faithful to him... until she finds another fox with nine tails and then immediately decides to marry him.  The story could have had Mr. Fox get beat out with the new suitor having ten tails, but it stops at nine, like that's the max.

     

    Anyway, I'm posting this for two reasons.  One is just I thought it was an interesting tidbit.  Second, I'm curious if anyone has encountered any western stories with foxes having multiple tails, discounting stuff influenced by anime.  The closest thing I can think of outside of this is when Samson burns down a vineyard by tying pairs of foxes together by their tails.

    1. Gyokuyoutama

      Gyokuyoutama

      Foxfire (i.e. Will o' the Wisps) being associated with foxes is pretty universal, unlike the multiple tails thing.

       

      It's also common consensus that the tip of a fox's tail is white because it got burned and/or produces fire.

      Discotek just announced that they're no longer pressing new discs for Grimm's Fairy Tales, so if you want the above episode and more in a pro-physical version you'll have to buy soon.

       

      Don't miss out like you all did for Joshiraku.  (Holy shit, it's going for $160 on ebay.)

       

      What am I saying all of you guys just pirate everything anyway.

      I have someone who works as a sound engineer for the western anime companies occasionally. I've been tempted to buy some BDs for some old shows from Discotek but I simply buy nothing period.

  10. I fully intend to die without ever hearing a non-nightcore version of Rockefeller Street.

    1. hugthebed2

      hugthebed2

      I really thought "You're gonna go far kid" was just an MLP fandom song when I first heard the sped up version.

    2. Gyokuyoutama

      Gyokuyoutama

      I had heard the Offspring version before I heard variations, but I've now listened to the eurobeat version so many times that the normal version now feels off tempo to me especially in the chorus. I also expect an extended instrumental section after the first chorus.

      This song has also replaced the lyrics to RHCP's Don't Stop in my head:

      And I thought that was russians that were still pushing HoMM 3.

      Whatever, post whatever you need and I will help you out as long as it actually is polish.

    3. Gyokuyoutama

      Gyokuyoutama

      That's what I thought too.  If I recall correctly Wake of Gods was made by Russians, and the actual Heroes V + were made by Russians, as were the new King's Bounty games.


      But recently on a whim I started looking around to see if mods had progressed and found that there were a whole hell of a lot of them, and that like 75% of the discussion is in Polish.  (10% is still in Russian, 10% in English and the remaining 5% is a mixture of other Eastern European languages).

  15. After weeks of listening to music from youtube mixes generated from various starting points and with varying browser history I have determined that all roads lead to Africa.

  23. Even if it is impossible, each man's memory making to data is possible is is making each man's "Memory" data. The possibility is bold and discusses it in detail. The research and study are that credibility is very high, nd that it is certain only in possible in a present technology and knowledge will advance though it has already gotten excited pros and cons about the contents of the thesis and the theory of saying [gi] is unfolded in not only the physics in the future but also the field perhaps the composed theory. Hereafter, the thesis parahippocampal gyrus on the temporal lobe, and all the man's need there what concretely one is "Memory"?

  24. Excerpt from recent e-mail from the dean:

     

    "When making online versions of courses, please make sure that they are accessible to all students.  Keep in mind that not all students have the same level of technology.  Some students might not have smart phones, and some might not even have access to computers or internet connections.  Nevertheless, your course should be accessible by all of these students."

     

    So apparently the new online course must be usable by people who are not online???
