I'm all caught up with Sound Euphonium now except for Liz and the Blue Bird, which I probably should have been more aggressive in getting a copy of not knowing how little Mizore and Nozomi would be present in the film and OVA (although their stories are done by the time the OVA comes around). That being said, Winter and Spring 2024 are absolutely jacked and will be a fantastic 6 months of anime, and Oshi no Ko S2 looming on the horizon.

I was really surprised to find out that Ensamble Contest currently sitting at #1 OVA on Anichart for the year. You can definitely see the increase of quality in KyoAni pre and post Arson attack (when KyoAni was already top tier when it came to production quality), and this series is no exception.

Yes. And the time is now. Bastard looks like a motherfucking forest oni or whatever. They need to follow through with this.

This is the only known artwork for Gorochu we have. Anything else is a fan creation likely created by RacieB.

HornedLion is talking about the scrapped Raichu evolution.

That's Gorochu, and I have been patiently waiting for its front sprite since 2020.

That's pretty cool.

This weekend I watched Sound Euphonium and Sound Euphonium 2. I have the 2019 movie queued to watch, and I still need to find the 2023 OVA but after that I will be all set for season 3 when it airs next week. On the arbitrary KyoAni scale, I'd probably place it around a Hyouka (so average) with my only critcisim being its reuse of certain songs in its soundtrack and lack luster season 2 OP and ED.

Not much recently. I've basically told myself I'm done games for good unless a really interesting live service game comes out again.

This meme stopped being funny ever sine Mezase Pokemon Master aired.

I don't eat breakfast.

I get 100mbs from my router but it's more than that.
I don't se much value in anything faster.
I have worked with 100gbps networking equipment before.

Will test it some more if the issue happens to me again.

I have no idea what is going on, the current theory is that it is a kind of shadow ban, where all you need to do is switch accounts or view videos as logged out (e.g. with private browsing). Also none of this affects people who use things like MPV's feature to play youtube links.

I suspect at some point someone is just going to create a browser extension to play Youtube videos without Youtube's frontend (there are sites that do this but they're all kinda eh).

I think someone had the idea that if you change the video source to a different domain (like the legacy google video domain) it solves the problem. I might see if I can hack together a userscript to address this.

Keep in mind I think embed links youtube.com/embed/<video id> are unaffected by this, which might be an easy solution (just create a userscript redirect). I'm about to go to bed, but I could probably do this in 10 minutes in the morning as I already have a redirect script for shorts.

30s? The pages might take 3-5 minutes for me to load.

So the current thing is that they are blocking accounts from viewing videos. You can literally open up a private tab and view videos with ad blocker but you cannot view them on your account. How stupid is this?

Looks like Youtube is going to war again. Pages don't even fully load.

Idk how I still haven't seen this, and I haven't had to touch anything with ublock. I do shut off my computer every day, wonder if that has something to do with it. Maybe it needs to be done if you never close your browser?

It is incredibly common. I was not affected by the first wave earlier this year but am now.

I just got one saying it's going to block videos if I don't start allowing ads... I got ublock origin is there one that works better?

Purge lists and redownload them. This happened to me earlier.

It mainly fixes it yea.
It's been a pretty fun time.

So I guess nothing is secure.

Correct but I can sell you the product I've been working on for the past few years that fixes this.

Why not? Most payloads are just repurposed versions of existing payloads.

Also new CVEs come out daily.

I've really lost a lot of steam recently and do it purely because I don't have very much going on besides work.

"Seed and Feed"

They're called nostalga traps.

As people like to point out it's just 2048. I played a few games of https://suika-game.app/ (I don't want to pull out the switch) and it's just an ok match 2 game. It's not even that entertaining to watch.

I'm sorry what? Just sounds like consumerism to me. Even when I was religious we would celebrate "harvest" in November.

No ads with this novel thing called an ad blocker.

What a delusion.

I'm a fan of Naruto purely because of the music. I don't think I've seen more than a handful of episodes.

I don't.

Asking for IT help is your first issue.

It wouldn't be the first site on the Internet where I spent way more time than was healthy, only for it to close and never speak to any of those people ever again. And almost never think about until someone makes a topic like this and then I think back to the late 90s and early 2000s like they were a lifetime ago.

GameFAQs reminds me of all of the 2000-era forums that have long since been forgotten and I almost feel like it is a relic of that time and should probably go away sooner or later. I have no idea how to replace PotD. There are no longer general discussion forums. It is definitely the site I have been on the longest, as next year will mark 20 years for me as well.

I don't know who that guy is but he is a smart person.

I would be pretty upset but there's not much going on here these days except for the Star Trek / Doctor Who boards and the anime thread.

helly, you have been banned so many times it's unreal. Haven't you been usermap axed multiple times? I am surprised you are not kos'd yet. I don't even know what you do for it to happen.

So how long until making any topics entirely is not allowed?

Knowing Fandom's track record? End of the year.

BoomerKuwanger posted...

The way there wasn't really anything said about a direct replacement or the future of the site in general makes me wonder if they're viewing the site as being in "maintenance mode" now

Would probably want to ask Devin that although the fandom guy DToast seems to be running the show now based on inferring a post he made on Hardcore about CE last month.

It's not as effective as the "boiling frog" (making small changes over time so people don't notice or complain, and then suddenly you're charging them three times as much and they never realized it). But it's definitely a thing companies have done.

I don't like this guy, but literal real world example of boiling frog at the time stamp.

Is this some kind of poor people problem I'm too Premium to understand

I don't know, my Youtube account was created in 2006 and Premium didn't exist then and I don't believe in paying for free services.

I could go on.

Crazy that people are shifting the ad blocking situation to other drama garbage.

Ok, watching the first episode of Hyakkano, and I am taking this way this joke way too seriously but when the love god mentions watching Laputa for the first time, the translators do not translate Laputa as Castle in the Sky, which is really annoying me. Censorship is always really weird to be because of how iconic Laputa is as a movie, and the fact they both show a censored Laputa and play Kimi wo Nosete during the scene (twice) but can't even translate the name of the film correctly...

Oh, I'm dumb, 100 Girlfriends is listed as Hyakkano.

Ads are a vector for malware. I am protecting myself by using an ad blocker and have done so since 2006.

Yea same here. I guess this is going to be reality until one side caves.

Mid-way through The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten I found out that they're making a second season and that's great because I finally finished it tonight and hope that it gets the post-confession arc a series like Horimiya got. Lots of people claim that the romance genre stops at the confession but there are a lot of shows airing right now that have very good post-confession arcs, namely my favorite ongoing manga BokuYaba of course.

In retrospect Winter 2023 was jacked. I am actually thinking of watching Apparently, Disillusioned Adventurers Will Save the World which is outside of what I normally watch but after having seen a couple of episodes of the dub it interests me and we're nearing the time of the year where I have more free time than usual and not enough to do with that time.

I have no idea, I only know about it because it popped up in the news a few weeks ago.

Their app is literal spyware (more so than most mobile apps).
