Soulsilver and Platinum are considered the best pokemon games, maybe start with these ones then.

>>1189
I can see why people consider soul silver the best but platinum seems like a retread of diamonds and pearls.

>>1188
The fucking Vs. Seeker, I did not realise that they included it in FireRed and god damn, was i stupid for not using it. All this time i was basically running around like an idiot after exausting all the visible trainers and grinding on shitty lower level wild pokemon when i could have been using Vs. Seeker to train, it is so fucking useful and actually nice,
Pokemon trainers you fought against can have another fight with you, and i noticed they also are in some cases tougher and higher level. Is this feature in other games? Have i been blind?

>>1190
I'm curious about this, because dispite being a retread apparantly the changes made allegedly improved the story, along with litte things like a back button on the poketech watch thingy
They added the pokemon detective guy looker and they changed most of cyruses dialoge, and expanded apon his role. It's too bad i don't remember much of my playthrough of diamond because otherwise i think it would have been neat to see if platinum is good or overrated.

This is the May 2023 appeal submitted by FC2's lawyers, and it mentions bilibili four times. It is likely though players like DPlayer or any commercial bilibili player with danmaku functionality are outside of the legal jurisdiction of Japan, and why they are still not sued by KADOKAWA-DWANGO.

https://nitter.poast.org/sigekun/status/1533297493626105857
In this post, even sigekun (Dwango COO, niconico representative) encouraged niconico users to report any danmaku comment add-ons and extensions, as they also infringe DWANGO's patents (this may also include Twitch's user-created danmaku extension). Some of the links to these add-ons posted in the replies were also taken down by KADOKAWA's IP lawyers.

Well, good news, apparently niconico staff are upping the audio bitrate limit to 576kbps, not quite lossless quality, but its better than the current 192kbps limit.
Still, it won't really rectify the damage on a ton of old "high audio quality" uploads that were encoded in 320kbps back in the day, as those have been permanently encoded to 160-192kbps, with the smile_high encodes completely wiped. Thanks, UNEI.

Video submission specifications for niconico: https://qa.nicovideo.jp/faq/show/5685
Video Overwrite Correction Campaign (Premium members only can participate)
https://blog.nicovideo.jp/niconews/244634.html
24-hour Overwrite Correction Submission Guidelines (Premium members only feature)
https://qa.nicovideo.jp/faq/show/19424

More information regarding submission of works that wish to take advantage of the high-quality audio feature. Note: High-quality audio option will not be available until around April 2025, and it is a premium-member only feature. If you attempt to upload a video with high quality audio, but it doesn't show up, you have 24 hours to correct your submission following the video submission guidelines to have your high-quality submission recognized.
If you wish to use the 576kbps feature, you must set the sampling frequency to 88.2kHz-96kHz.
Otherwise, your audio that is posted in PCM and FLAC will be converted to 320kbps (kind of like what this website does); although if you upload audio at 256kbps or higher, it will also upconvert it to 320kbps.
Side note: I had no idea niconico supported AV1 already, it was already one of the most requested technical features to add to niconico to ease the burden of storage space on niconico's servers and bandwidth for both dwango and the users, but it came at a cost of processing power since most devices did not support AV1 decoding until many devices that came out a few years ago to now and the future.

Minor update on this, apparently Japanese users who have likely reviewed and assessed the verdict of the Dwango v. FC2 lawsuit also point out that FC2 also violated the patents by catering and targeted the Japanese demographic.
Other Japanese users mainly look at the other way for Bilibili, because they are not based in Japan, do not have Japanese UI and services, and are also based in a country where national law does not honor Japanese patents by default.
Side note: I also uncovered a rather old, but still during the time of niconico's attempted renaissance, a chain of posts that sigekun made regarding bilibili in 2018. This is roughly about 7 years before the ruling was in favor of honoring Japanese patents overseas by the courts.
I also saw other comments directed towards sigekun regarding bilibili in more recent times, but he has gone completely silent since those posts he made around 2018-2020.
Though, with the recent appeal being dismissed by the Japanese courts, it seems that niconico's patents are honored overseas as well, with many people calling on Dwango to sue bilibili as well. It seems the nicofags are out for blood after this ruling.
In short, all fingers point towards: as long as you do not provide services and products to Japanese users that infringes Japanese patents, you might be able to get away with it...broadly speaking. Meaning: no Japanese UI, no Japanese language, no Japanese sensibilities when it comes to social approaches and manners, and so on. Do not attempt to cater to the Japanese demographic or customer base, and you should be okay.
It also helps to not run a commercial operation and keep it 100% non-commercial, community, and/or personal-based.

You take an elevator to the highest floor of the building and open 22chan. After that you scream your device to demystify the website

>>1560
Go to the 22nd floor as well and once you are done screaming post moar.

Legend says that if at 22:22, you go to the bathroom, turn off the lights and stare at the mirror, then say 22 times:
>mirror mirror on the wall, what's the comfyest chan of them all
Then absolutely nothing will happen and you'll look like a buffoon

Yeah, because you didn't you tap your feet twenty two times. You didn't pet a cat twenty two times. You also need twenty two bottle caps. Oracle will know what you need in addition.

Here's another thing that pisses me off in a sense, it was something i subconsciously picked up so i very well could be wrong.
I like japanese anime and manga, made for japanese people.
I don't honestly want to see western values, philosophy, content and so on. I want to be thrown headfirst into a diffrent world with diffrent values and ideals and perspectives (and artstyles)
I thought it was fucking neat when a character in Back when you called us devils mentioned a story from the shinto text Kojiki, specifically the one about Izanagi and Yomi in World of Darkness. I'm sure if i was a japanese person, reading an old western comic book they probably would want the classic experience and any japanese manga shit thrown in would probably be gay looking to them
If i wanted to read a western comic book i fucking would, i don't want to see that shit in a manga. I don't want to see japanese adaptions of western IPs and so forth,
The manga felt off to me, because it felt like the author went put of his way to be mr globohomo, like the visual artstyle felt, western to me, and only way later on there was some japanese references, hell the cast of the story was multiracial, clean, i understand it fits in well with the context of the story but fuck, thats not the point, to me it felt like the author was trying to hard, also it felt like a western graphic novel written by a japanese man, trying to appeal to a global audience. It's weird to me. It's like several times where like in western comics where the artist/writer tries to emulate anime and manga but fucks up real bad and looks strange. The western artist does it as a joke or out of respect, but in a way it shows a fundemental misunderstanding for the artform and distrespects it, in a way tainting it, as for the japanese artist, i can't even discribe how i feel besides it kinda feels like their selling out? like selling their soul for the sake of money?
Fuck if i know, it just felt kind of off to me while i was reading the manga.
Also i kina didn't like the early monster reveal and i would have liked if they did something sneaky like maybe keep him obscured by shadows, or even mentally blocked out, or even obscured by something. Also i felt like the they should have stayed in the orphanage a bit longer, maybe even something bad happening during their escape like maybe a trap or something gets a kid or two killed to show that escaping will come at a cost instead of being so easy.

>>4375
Hahahaha what the fuck? I remember reading it pretty far and it already felt like the quality dropped by the time they escaped the meat factory and had that fight in the village but I never got that far about the things you are talking about. Is this seriously what this was all about from begin with? This is straight up the same thing what happened with AoT where suddenly the story reveals to be about the holocaust and jewish persecution. How does this even happen? Does some rabbi pick up his favorite manga before its finished and uses his connections for them to change the story into something else?

>>4377
They basically went down the route of "the demons are a reflection of human beings" "look at those poor jews getting killed by those muslums"
The fat cat demons at the top used human flesh to retain their humanoid form and intelligence, a special demon family existed who had the ability to still be humanoid because special blood so the fat cats where like "lol, no" because they wanted to use human flesh as a means of controling the masses, so they killed and ate damn near all the special demons besides one
This is all fine and dandy and actually kinda cool untill the author decides to pull the "just like human capitalists" card and then also have characters who "hate the demons" because racism SEE SO DEMONS ARE PEOPLE TOO
>had that fight in the village
Remember the super cool pimp demon in the hat with the lemur? Nigger died after the arc but at the end of the fucking story he fucking revived from the dead and dispite being a total bitch previously he was like "BEHOLD YOU ALL ARE OPPRESSED BY THE FATCAT DEMONS AND DISPITE EATING HUMAN FLESH MYSELF EATING FLESH IS TOTALLY BAD"
So yeah, massive fucking rugpull, Not really obvious as you read normaply but then it fucking hits like a migrane.

I want to check out psycho pass, sounds really interesting. Anything psychological horror is like crack cocaine to me so i throw myself at it, and it's always a hit or miss like madoka magica was fucking good, probably will rewatch that soon.

Since it was based on a true story here are the original Densha Otoko posts: http://milkyway7075.g2.xrea.com/trainman1.html and the original clip for comparison. The english subs that came with the show aren't great... stuff like using "yes" for ｷﾀ――(ﾟ∀ﾟ)――!! is just stupid and also yeah that's Nasubi (Tomoaki Hamatsu).
I was honestly only reminded of this today because the maid working at my house broke a $325 Hermes plate that was a birthday gift for my mother.

>the good news is that raws of that pilot film DO exist on one of the DVD compilations that are out there. The bad news is that the film is entirely unvoiced, and it’s unclear whether or not there’s music attached. Instead, it was subtitled. (This is not unexpected for a pilot film.)
> I’m pretty sure that that webm runs the length of the entire pilot film.
>As for why this animation style was abandoned, a cursory glance at the Japanese Wikipedia page reveals that Momoko Sakura herself vetoed the proposed look of the series and wanted something that was closer to her own personal style.
>In the original manga, especially at the beginning, all of the asides, inner thoughts, and explanations were done in Maruko’s own voice -- understandable as it began as a semi-autobiographical manga. We all know that the anime we got solved the problem of bringing that to the TV screen by introducing an external narrator which piled on the snark. Clearly that concept was not part of the planned adaptation from the beginning -- we see here in that frame that the original plan was for the action to freeze and to have a “spirit” Maruko address the audience directly.

Watched this Christmas special again where Hanawa exchanges roles with Maruko-chan. I honestly wonder how I could watch more of this series after the first season even though the art style looks like crap but I guess you do get used to it eventually. I tried checking Netflix with a Japanese VPN but it wont display any episodes older than 800 so...

Not even sure what episode it was from again I just have it saved as that file name but its one of my most favorite ones.
