#"Sousou no Frieren 2nd Season"
Sometimes I think Frieren is overrated, but it isn't
It has so many beautiful scenes that make me appreciate life, that make me realize I have to take it easy sometimes

Take the day off


Finished the second season 2. Hopefully the 3rd comes out soon.

Hey everybody, did the news get around
About a guy named Butcher Pete
Oh, Pete just flew into this town
And he's choppin' up all the women's meat
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He just hacks, wacks, choppin' that meat

Reminds me of the Jin Yoshida from the game Soma. I often wonder how bad his death must have been that it cracked open his high pressure suit helmet.

Isn't it crazy how AI has given pretty much everyone almost unlimited power to create whatever they wanted and nothing noteworthy has been created? Sure AI can speed things up, but the bottleneck is new ideas

TBH it's still not very reliable. Like it still guesses and makes up information and it's your job to review what it wrote to check for errors and fix them yourself later. Most people don't expect that and give up early on.
Like it's not a money printing machine.

Supporter Tier is Free Right Now! Just make an account and ask for it!
Check it out: Supporter Tier
I decided to make this thread so we can have a discussion about how Umi Galaxy is supported.
The idea behind the Supporter Tier is that, if the website grows, at some point we'll need to make some money to cover the server costs. And if it gets really huge, there will be even more costs beyond just the servers.
Right now, the servers are cheap and more than enough for the current traffic, so I'm taking this opportunity to give the Supporter Tier for free to people who register an account.
What do you think the Supporter Tier should have?
Right now, the Supporter Tier provides boosts for Clan and Alliance threads. Since everyone can create a Clan or Alliance, there needs to be something to prevent usage from getting out of control. We can't have an infinite number of threads with millions of media files without eventually paying for all that storage.
At the moment, Clan and Alliance threads have very little usage, so I was thinking about extending the Supporter Tier perks to regular threads on the normal imageboard as well.
What do you think? What kind of perks would you like to see in the Supporter Tier?

ゲームのほうが、やさしいかしら。

I've decided to make this thread to discuss what I've learned while trying to promote Umi Galaxy.
So far, I've noticed that visibility and clicks are important, but there's also a need to reach the right audience.
For example, yesterday I made a post on Reddit promoting the website on /r/webdev. The post got around 92k views and 200 likes, which translated into 200+ visitors to the website.
That looks pretty good, but none of those visitors actually engaged with the website in a meaningful way. Nobody posted on the imageboard, and nobody created an account.

About 10 years ago I became interested in learning Japanese. Mostly because of anime, I just wanted to know what the basic konoyarou/tasukete/urusai stuff meant so I could focus better on the show's plot.
The tsukkomi/boke comedy in anime involving unecessary physical/emotional violence never fails to amuse me. I don't watch much anime these days but I have become interested in Japanese culture.
The Miko shrine maidens, Shinto shrines themselves, Geisha, tea ceremonies, Onsen, no tipping in restaurants, general lack of DEI, and so on and so on. All things that I wish the US would adopt.
Thus I've been on a journey, for a few years now, to pass the JLPT N5. I've bought many books on this but it's always turned into a 5 minute study session followed by 30 minutes of youtube.
Result: I can read common kanji compounds like 野菜、電話、入口, without furigana now and from memrise practice I know pretty much all hiragana/katakana. However I just can't power through the grammar parts.
SO I've signed up here: https://www.tokiniandy.com/
It's $10 a month and my hope is that this course dumbs it down enough for me to stick to it for longer than 5 mintues a day. I know some N5 stuff now so I hope it can boost me to N4 level this year alone.
I don't mean to shill this course and I have no idea if it will even be worth it. However my plan is to post updates here every week or so and let you all know how it's going.
I hope that this will help other anons here struggling with learning Japanese. It's an amusing/mysterious high-context language (see honne/tatemae) but it will break you especially with grammar.
Still, the challenge can be quite fun. Which is why I refuse to drop it. Gonna start tomorrow (today?) night so stay tuned.
Allegedly the Janitorial staff got replaced with AI which does make Palantir involvement plausible. Picrel is going around and getting deleted.
Looks like something out of the SCP Foundation

True, it's good for certain things and horrible for others

Another altchan in the sea of altchans except void-san made a containment board for AI spam. The site used to run like dogshit but not anymore so I figured it was time to tell others about it.
My hope is that people that genuinely want to discuss tech here find this little bubble and we can all have a good time. At least it's more constructive than complaining on 4chan.

NP, I wish more sites had a lite mode setting.

>so I was thinking about extending the Supporter Tier perks to regular threads on the normal imageboard as well.
I think that would be better at least for the OP public post. Not sure if having a public thread filled with dozens of 20MB files is such a good idea. It could slow down the site with too many lurkers.
However the OP post getting more leeway in filesize would help boost thread quality, even with AV1 a larger filesize limit is always better anyways.
>if the website grows, at some point we'll need to make some money to cover the server costs. And if it gets really huge, there will be even more costs beyond just the servers.
host your own and the server costs never go up.
host your own and there are no other costs aside from a proxy.

Thanks man, I'll have a fix for it next time I restart the website

I managed to endure about an hour of these videos, about halfway done with lesson 1 in the Genki 1 section, tokiniandy has 12 sections for this.
I took the N5 practice test from here: https://www.jlpt.jp/e/samples/forlearners.html
I got 6/14 right so I'm still at rock bottom but watching the video seems considerably less stressful than reading every beginner Japanese book I've tried.

Honest update: 3 months later and I still can't pass all the N5 sample questions on https://www.jlpt.jp/e/samples/forlearners.html
I don't blame tokiniandy though, the videos seem concise and to the point but it's like I'm too dumb to actually grasp the grammar points.
Like I have such a horrible time distinguishing when to use へ and に for location even though the video series seems to try to explain it to me.
I've only been chipping at them in 5 to 15 minute sessions per day max so my laziness hasn't helped either.
I dunno what to do maaaang, it's like I need to grow new braincells or something but I don't know how...
