I’ve recently started reading a bunch and have mangas and manwhas I like, but the manhua I’ve tried so far was too heavy on the propaganda for my tastes. I’m not sure if that was specific to the one I was reading or if the CCP requires all art to be pro Chinese nationalist and imperialist.

My top mangas:
Hunter x Hunter (keeps going where the anime stopped, though it doesn’t finish the story and I’m not sure it ever will)
Dandadan (holy shit this one is so good, goes way past the one season of anime, which is very faithful to the manga, it’s still ongoing with weekly updates)

My top manwhas:
Hero Killer (I love the characters and art, though the action and story can be difficult to follow)
A Returner’s Magic Should be Special (this one is the first one I found after deciding I wanted to read a completed story and it delivered)
Solo Levelling (this one’s pretty fun, especially early on)

And the manhua I started but gave up on:
Way to be the Evil Emperor (some speculated in the comments that the CCP friendly stuff was to gain some leeway with the rest of the story but it was just too overt for me to enjoy. And the writing isn’t that great outside of the propaganda, too. The art was good though)

Technical analysis is where gambler’s fallacy meets self-fulfilling prophecy. Though other forces are also in play.

Good point. OP should have waited to post that after you saw that video.

And yet you’re talking about something you saw in the past. Maybe you just crossed the threshold.

Because the world is black and white, of course!

Don’t forget the other obvious option: we don’t have to play mario. Also, there’s a used game market with a ton of older games and Nintendo doesn’t get a cent from that anymore.

How did this data get gathered? Because my full chat history with chatgpt is available on the site but history doesn’t show up for it here.

Yeah, those long fake ones that are longer than the last finger segment are a turn off for me. Maybe not a deal breaker, but I find someone who decides she doesn’t want that more attractive.

Naturally long nails I’m more neutral about, up to a point (though preferably they don’t come to a point either).

But I do find someone willing to work with her hands attractive.

I enjoyed below zero but found the big moments weren’t as big. Like I’d categorize Subnautica as an exploration horror survival crafting game for the first playthrough but then drop the horror for subsequent ones. I didn’t really get the same sense of horror from below zero and don’t think 2 could do it either.

The way the original dripped the information was an experience on its own, you know, the whole reason I’m being vague to not spoil it while being OK with using quotes like “Multiple Leviathan class life forms detected. Are you sure what you’re doing is worth it?”

The second one didn’t have that, even though they really expanded on a lot of things and did a great job at making a successor exploration survival crafting game, it didn’t make me reel or feel like a hopeless situation just entered a whole new level of hopelessness. That experience is what I wish I could go back to but can’t.

JD Vance says, “two trophies are better than one!”

In jealous of anyone who hasn’t played Subnautica yet because they can still experience it for the first time.

Or “if you’re going to surrender, you might as well defect while you’re at it”. Though sucks to be them if Ukraine would rather exchange them for their own prisoners.

On the other hand, I’ve been using a cheap garbage can without the lid and it’s been good. Mind you, my home is sealed well against flies and if flying bugs become an issue, I’ll probably grab the lid. But since water is able to evaporate out of it, it doesn’t stink that much. It also helps that I leave food in the fridge until I’m ready to take the garbage out.

Personally, I think the problem was that they were being bullied, not what specific names they were being called.

Which was a pretty dumb edit because Jabba didn’t seem like the kind of guy that would let Solo get away with stepping on him. And Solo would have also known that and not casually stepped on his tail.

Not to mention Jabba also didn’t seem like the kind of guy to meet with a smuggler he had a bounty on alone in a random ship bay. Even if Solo wouldn’t have been willing to just shoot his debt and bounty away, Jabba couldn’t have been sure about it and Solo already wasted a bounty hunter that caught up to him.

Would have been better to just edit the audio to make the other guy a representative of Jabba instead of sticking to the “this is Jabba but filmed before we decided to make him an alien slug so now we need to make it look like Jabba”. Even without the tail step, he looks ridiculous walking around like that compared to the massive thing he was just a year or so later, like he’s Jabba’s younger brother or nephew.

Or how unattractive that mindset itself is. It’s like the opposite of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Mario bros 1-2

Some of the levels seemed like you could jump over the flag pole, but it would grab it from the other side. Then Mario lost levels had one where you could get passed the flag and it felt so good finally being able to do it.

It doesn’t look very happy being leashed to what I hope is a table leg but worry is a horse’s (or some other animal’s) leg. Even its pose looks like one of those “let me fucking go! I’m about to clamp down on anything fleshy I can reach!”

Even if they just sit outside, having a chair is probably better than not having a chair.

Unless you already have like a thousand of them.

TAA looks worse than no AA IMO. It can be better than not using it with some other techniques that cause the frames to look grainy in random ways, like real time path traced global illumination that doesn’t have enough time to generate enough rays for a smooth output. But I see it as pretty much a blur effect.

Other AA techniques generate more samples to increase pixel accuracy. TAA uses previous frame data to increase temporal stability, which can reduce aliasing effects but is less accurate because sometimes the new colour isn’t correlated with the previous one.

Maybe the loss of accuracy from TAA is worth the increase you get from a low sample path traced global illumination in some cases (personally a maybe) or extra smoothness from generated frames (personally a no), but TAA artifacts generally annoy me more than aliasing artifacts.

As for specifics of those artifacts, they are things like washed out details, motion blur, and difficult to read text.
