iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

our notes having a hat trick of attribute/song/band bonuses alongside gekisou types means that even if they had a a traditional tiering system right now it would still be grossly preferential to whales. the difference is that you don’t ‘feel’ like you’re putting in Hard Work lol

tiering is also scored by whaling it’s just less obvious and you also get rsi

you can’t have that thing where the pad of your palm rapidly activates the farmost lanes if you’re playing with thumbs when the track is only like 80% of the screen’s width man

I do like it when the blue woman who hedges everything she says is tortured by grief for the funny ぜ girl who's significantly more sad and bitter than she lets on I can't lie

For the sake of discussion, lets accept that "They don't even really mean to brigade you, actually, they just use BlueSky in a way that inspires brigading." Then this is a problem with the affordances of the platform and needs to be dealt with.

my review to my friends has been no shit 'it would be good if it wasn't bad'. Miku is still in my top five though don't get me wrong.

000

by the fourth scene essentially reiterating what you've already seen and making the same exact jokes you've heard twenty times before you just start to check out

100

the plot of their main story is extremely thin and they struggle to milk 20 chapters out of it ... while also being twice the length of some equivalent millsage episodes even when nothing is happening?

100

cherie and yomogi need their respective gimmicks dialled back by like 60%. they'd have basis to be compelling if they weren't constantly strangled by some of the worst comedy writing I've ever seen from this series

100

people don't think ikka danran's main story is worse than millsage because it's lighter in tone, it's because the pacing is horrible and it's very obvious that miku and raika are the only characters who are going to get fleshed out while the other three are being saved for events

most of these responses my reaction is just. You can ask clarifying questions and learn things instead of getting red in the face if you don’t know something. the average person isn’t actually thinking about how bad they need to intellectually mog you and you’re being a paranoid weirdo

020

I mean I'm going to say find the king instead of kingu wo sagase because some titles are simple and translate well even if they aren't officially translated. but I feel like a decent amount of this is the weird reverence of jp-en translations as infallible gifts and a fear of the foreign

a lot of 'japanese lit? yeah! I love murakami and no longer human...' replies acting as an authority LMAOOOOOOO. ultimately it depends on how it flows and what the person speaking was exposed to first and if you get overly neurotic about that you have shit to unpack

We don't talk enough about the soundtrack of Fuck's Quest II, which was clearly made by someone who understands how to compose music and used that knowledge for evil

Are Linux and Open Source Un-American?
Community
by Steve Coe
on February 21, 2001

Jim Allchin, Microsoft Windows operating system chief, was quoted in an article about open source last week. I advise any Linux user to go and read it if you haven't already, as it's great comedy material.

According to the hive mind of Microsoft, open source should be made illegal. There's no way around it, this is the bottom line. Want to write your own code and release it into the community? Congratulations, come with us Sir/Madam, we have this nice little grey room for you. Don't worry about the bars on the windows, they are there for our protection in case you somehow manage to write a graphics viewer or a Perl script to terrorize the world.

Ordinarily, a mere underling like Mr. Allchin wouldn't be taken too seriously, but Microsoft speaks with one voice, and we all know who he is channeling.

As a member of the Linux and Open Source communities, I am appalled and outraged by his comments and wish to respond. The article shows Microsoft is scared. Very scared. So, will they build a better product? Nah, to hell with it, they'll just get the government to outlaw the competition.

multiple people from ANN, even, which is not dissuading me of my preexisting take that its a site staffed by deeply unpleasant lunatics

040

so when is bluesky going to enforce the new dogpiling rule on that guy from ANN

240

this is my baseline annoyance with it but also it's really gauche that so many big-name 'serious' figures in the english anime sphere are dogpiling a small account for saying as much too

020

'engaging in a relationship-by-deception by hiding the fact you two are related and that it's incest is pretty repugnant' is true in the real world, but the narrative bends over backwards to add as many (audience-perceived) 'extenuating circumstances' as possible such that it's not an issue. grrhh

010

the judas thing is right there! you could have had her *actually* sell her out! it was foreshadowed and you still were willing to deliver on that foreshadowing in some capacity, so it's not like I misinterpreted that element of the story! but they're so scared that you might actually hate her

literally just have her actually have some semblance of a clue that crychic would have been blown up and you still get a significantly more compelling character. the 'yeah she's responsible just like the songs hinted but actually its because she bumped into a guy she didn't really mean to' is so

tl;dr if the story clearly doesn't think your character did anything wrong why should I

130

which, back to my first post: every song about having committed some grave and irredeemable sin immediately had all of its weight evaporate and become trivial. they botched the story so bad for me that even the music's suffered as a secondary casualty

031

'our jesus analogue forgives her judas despite the weight of her sins' works significantly better if the narrative doesn't do fifteen backwards flips to clarify that the judas in question is minimally culpable. you didn't write judas you wrote the ztd snail

120

every time you critique this people start engaging in circular logic where 'they had to write her to be purely reactive because she's written as purely reactive' but like. they didn't have to do that? it gives the last stretch of the story far less emotional weight? refill my nothing

220

I'm kind of glad they learned their lesson about not letting characters actually do anything wrong and just secretly being misunderstood but like. it's notable to me that she doesn't really have anything proactive to do in the game because they wrote her to be purely reactive

120

the fatal cover would have made me go crazy two years ago now its just like. okay so we know what she did and it was nothing. how am I supposed to believe this sentiment if you wrote it such a way that it's literally all in her head and she didn't do anything

230

anyway I need to rewrite my spec sheets tomorrow I overslept today and wrote it off as a free day off @_@ even if I did housework

100

I think if I ignore the financial benefit secondary parties are reaping from this whole thing I don't super have beef against him but I can't stand how phony and incongruous his public image is with what the actual facts are

010

regarding that one thing he has an obvious excuse now especially given the game's dependence of micromovements so I care less about that and more about the associated clique's persistent racism and refusal to engage with the story or worldbuilding in favour of 'wacky japan' to be clear

it's very funny king larper of larp mountain put in the 'at least play the games' bullet like he wasn't openly admitting to the fact he hadn't played half the games he cited as inspiration. what are we even doing

240

classic. not sure if the industry's ever not going to have this type of guy

100

'oh this guy is aggressively trying to undercut other graphics programmers by saying what they've done isn't that impressive? let's see what he's made, haven't heard of his studio before' and it's just a trailer that intentionally obscures the gameplay every fucking time

necromantic was fun and I still also sometimes listen to it so its not like all of their songs are bad but releasing a song that turns shinki-yumeko into the same dynamic touhou fanon flattens every master-servant pair into is like dropping a bomb onto a tiny fishing village with a population of 500
