I'm not sure about the others, but the last guy (from Oregairu iirc) was definitely pretentious. Like being vague about his ideas just to appear smart and productive. The hand gestures was the best part.
I'm still playing P5R. Steam says I have 100 hours in but I'm only 70 hours in my last save. That probably means I put almost 30 hours playing the card game in Thieves Den.
Though they couldn’t even manage to do that without sticking the bitch in the scene
I read the Scum's Wish manga. If I recall correctly, there's an extra chapter of her some time after the events. I think that was the very last chapter too. Now that you point it out, it does kind of seem like the story centered around her a lot.
For some reason though, I actually enjoyed this manga lol
I found this video essay interesting. The style is a bit different where narration is text on screen but I found it enjoyable without an audible narrator.
I never really thought about the trains in Hideaki Anno's works but now I'm a lot more conscious about it.
In my opinion, the cause of "the burden of animation" is being underpaid and overworked. If there were better laws that can address these issues, we wouldn't need to resort to AI.
But for in-betweening, I assume you're referring to something like CACANI but that's a bit different from generative AI I think. It behaves more like 3DCG because the lines are vectors.
The clip is from a documentary where Miyazaki works on a 3DCG short film (something completely unheard of). You can watch the documentary here. I do like the point he makes:
(Suzuki) "So, what's your goal?"
(Guy) "Well, we would like to build a machine that can draw pictures like humans do."
(Miyazaki) "We humans are losing faith in ourselves."
I should clarify that NLnet is probably not a commercial company like Skeb is. I know translation exists but all the Lemmy support chatrooms are in English.
Reddit was (and still is) seen as foreign/overseas social media. Other social media platforms are much more diverse than Reddit. Twitter, TikTok, and Insta for example. YouTube and Facebook too.
Most people here in Lemmy come from Reddit. Reddit is very popular in the Western world. It's not popular outside of it.
In the context of the larger Fediverse, I think Misskey is an interesting case study. It's created and designed by Japanese people. The docs are in Japanese. It's sponsored by a Japanese company. Resources and support are also in Japanese. Therefore it has a strong Japanese userbase.
On the other hand, Lemmy is created and designed by Western people. The docs are in English. It's sponsored by a Western company. Resources and support are in English. Therefore it has a strong Western userbase.
Also I should point out that other than Twitter, Instagram, etc. there are some platforms operated by non-Western companies. China has a lot of those like Bilibili, Weibo, Baidu, etc. Korea has Katalk and Line, etc etc. They aren't popular outside of the region.
edit: I should probably clarify. It's not like we don't use Reddit. It's just not as popular.
Finally got Chevreuse! Iansan too. I guess Varesa is nice but I pulled mainly because of Chevy and Iansan. I don't know if I should try pulling for their constellations.
Pyro region Natlan is out (and concluded recently I think). So new characters, weapons, artifacts, etc. The Natlan characters have this gimmick that allows you to traverse terrain in different ways.
There's a new mode called Imaginarium Theater which is like Spiral Abyss but instead of having only 2 teams, you're given a pool of (mostly your own) characters that you can pick to build a team out of per chamber. The enemies are much easier though.
Other than that, mostly limited time events. Summer, Lunar New Year, and other events I couldn't remember anymore lol
Oh boy I (finally) finished Angel Beats! You know, it's a terrible idea to watch this in the library. It's hard to hold back those tears when there are people around.
Anyway, this week I'm watching Genius Party and Ghost in the Shell.
