| 119638 | Isn't it funny that two of the best anime airing this season, Frieren and Dungeon Meshi, are both intermixing serious plot and action with prime Slice of Life material? It's really a winning combo to have since you want the audience to be endeared to your characters, and there's no better genre for scenarios to do that than SoL. On another note, I've learned to stop nitpicking and love the Frieren. Despite my hesitations towards calling it excellent from the onset, at some point within the p | [View] |
| 120475 | So it has been [i]SEVEN YEARS[/i] since the anniversary of /qa/ becoming 2D/Random and /qa/ itself is just one year short of turning a decade old. What are your fondest memories of /qa/ as that particular incarnation which led us here today? I posted the Doggy Temple thread on /jp/ which was what made me think about this in the first place: https://desuarchive.org/qa/thread/2019745/ I can see some of my posts there. I also liked the anon who called everyone faggots for not watching M.D. Geist, t | [View] |

| 120110 | The longer time goes on in a community you fear participating in, the bigger the newfag you'll be when you eventually post. The bonds that exist will grow stronger without you and those chances you had to forge friendships will be lost. Wary and judgement is cast upon the newfag when they first enter into a community. Their every contribution or post viewed with the extra critical eye people place on strangers to the group. Yet even still, the brazen newfag presses on without fear and eventually | [View] |
| 109192 | I spent a really long time trying to get this working recently, so I figured I'd document what I did to get GPU passthrough working on my laptop. The steps I went through might be a bit different on other distros given that I am using Proxmox, but the broad strokes should apply. Bear in mind, this is with regards to using a Windows 11 virtual machine. Certain steps may be different or unnecessary for Linux-based virtual machines. First, why might you want to do this? Well, the most obvious re | [View] |
| 120099 | Sometimes I wonder what Kissu would be like if the voting system used on /ec/ and /megu/ was a sitewide thing that was active on every board. In the standard imageboard format, it's hard to tell the difference between a post that has no replies because no one read it, and a post that has no replies because people found it generally agreeable and nobody had anything to add, and it can sometimes feel like you're shouting into the void. This isn't a feature request. I'm not even sure if it's | [View] |

| 114206 | So, what anime are you planning on watching this season? There's quite a few major sequels and continuations and some new stuff that looks great as well. https://www.livechart.me/fall-2023/tv https://anilist.co/search/anime?year=2023&season=FALL | [View] |

| 119745 | I've been looking at 4chan/w/ and found the powerlevel thread. It's like a thread for posting wallpapers which reference some anime/manga/game/whatever but try and be pretty stealth about it so it won't look weird in public. There were some really good ones there, but there aren't many wallpapers for phones there... What wallpapers does kissu use? I've been using pic related on my phone for a long time now, it's Okabe's phone wallpaper from the Steins;Gate VN. Pretty stealth but still a nice | [View] |

| 119331 | I wonder how much the proliferation of generals comes down to having to attach an image to the OP on most imageboards. It's a small thing, but speaking personally, it adds just enough friction that I've posted things I've wrote to existing threads rather than starting new ones. | [View] |
| 119221 | How do I make good programming language benchmarks. No one has done any performance research on Godot's GDScript because the community says it's good enough. Any benchmarks only look at framerate in physics calcd and not GC impact or memory per object. Obviously that reasoning is not good enough. Picture related is single core performance on a weak processor | [View] |
| 119049 | A thread about phrases, buzzwords, and online discourse in general, because why not. Which terms do you gravitate towards and which ones do you avoid? Do you think people has lost the ability to take lighthearted banter in stride? Personally I try to write properly when the discussion is semi-serious, but get lax when funposting. For mainstream though it seems like using memespeak for post-ironic brownie points or ad-hominem attacks has been the norm for awhile. It gets tiring seeing the same | [View] |

| 86904 | Hello, friends. Would you believe me if I told you that the attached image is an edit? It does not exist! It's crazy, isn't it? You assumed there was a Mewkledreamy/Elden Ring crossover, but it's not actually real. This is the power of photo editing. Photoshop is expensive, though, and these days you have to subscribe. I heard there's a way to bypass that, but this isn't the thread for it. I heard someone might have uploaded it somewhere, I think a bird was talking about it. Anyway, where was | [View] |
| 118948 | What makes something look good? It's one of those things you see people talk about a lot, but I've never heard a satisfactory answer. Most theories of aesthetics boil down to some combination of "this looks good we should do more things that look like this" and "I like how this looks, you should too". I don't want to be told [i]what[/i] looks good; I already know what looks good because I have eyes. What I want to know is [i]why[/i] the things I find visually appealing visually appealing.

| 112574 | Recently I've come across two different channels that seemingly popped outta nowhere and started putting out fairly specific and very high effort content at a pretty decent rate, which then went on to get hundreds of thousands of views. It's weird, so I wanted to share it: Dogehammer Fortykay makes WarHam animations in the style of Madness Combat with the peculiarity that all humanoids are portrayed as a variation of doge, and they seem to have a pretty good grasp on the lore.

| 114661 | What tales have your minds woven while you lie in slumber? As for myself, I just had a dream in which I died. It started off with my father taking over a trip I planned out with a friend and making the experience somewhat uncomfortable. During said trip I uncovered a trait about them I hadn't known amd also apparently they had a medium sized youtube channel they'd mostly put behind them. Apparently it was discovered by a background check my father ran. Which is odd considering they were conce | [View] |

| 116588 | The other day I came across Go Nagai's adaptation of the Divine Comedy, and a lot of its illustrations struck me as rather un-manga-like. True enough, most of his large illustrations appear to be taken from Doré's art. It's a very interesting crossover. The main change Nagai does is making characters more monstruous, you can see how he draws Charon here twice as tall as regular people and gives him blank eyes for further contrast, and to King Minos in the first circle he gives a pretty evil lo | [View] |

| 113925 | To what extent -- if at all -- do you think people should be protected from information hazards? Should the spirit of preserving free speech supersede ethical considerations? To be clear, I would define an information hazard as any piece of information which can reasonably be assumed to potentially result in harm to others or oneself. Many things would fall under this definition, such as instructions on the creation of a weapon to direct encouragement or instruction to commit self-harm. Takin | [View] |
| 116620 | Q: Why is Spy x Family s2 better than 1? A: Because it's the Yor season Seriously, I can't get enough of this cutie draped in crimson. Not to mention the way the spy gags are interwoven into the plotline without breaking the flow, or how competent this more serious story is for what on the surface looks like a mainly comedy anime. It's an absolute love letter to the genre and I in turn love it, and relish in the popularity it's found itself. How about /qa/, are you enjoying the increased sc | [View] |

| 118080 | I am convinced that cell phones have reached a level where they can read the end user's mind without relying on verbal or typed in data. Some examples that have happened to me recently; I was sleeping in the middle of the day like a NEET when I was woken by a loud bang. I thought something had fallen on the house so I ran out the back door to check. Nothing was there. I went back to sleep for several hours. When I woke up I went in the bathroom and saw that my shower curtain bar had fallen | [View] |
| 118098 | These are really popular, and I don't get it. Is there any reason to use one of these instead of just writing the to-do list in your synced note-taking application, another thing everyone in the productivity treadmill seems to have? I guess notifications are the main difference, but you should be relying on your calendar app for that. Or barring that, a piece of notebook paper and a pen? | [View] |

| 110772 | So I was trying to write an IRC bot and while I started off in python I realized at some point maybe I might need to do stuff in javascript as well. It got me wondering if you can just have a bot that's in python that just connects and calls upon javascript programs to do stuff. My first assumption is no since most programs I've seen online seem to be entirely written in one language or another. Since if this was the case then you'd have people mixing and matching languages to do individual task | [View] |
| 117919 | How would you describe cyberpunk without the "punk"? Since the "punk" portion of the term implies some sort of rebellion against the system or disdain for norms. This question came upon my mind while thinking about the future and how for many the kind of cybernetic corporate controlled society we'd be in actually may be desirable and maybe even the natural evolution of things. Even for I, I find myself dwelling on some sort of charm or intrigue about the more moral-less late stage capitalist | [View] |
