Hey if worse comes to worse boards can be deleted

>>3727
I guess just one example as an supporting argument I advertised 22chan here previously: https://4-ch.net/music/kareha.pl/1666316613/l50 because it pretty much seemed as though 22chan has the perfect features for what the guy was describing and although we do have a /mu/ for where such a thread could be made it seems there's more of an demand for an entire board where .mp3 files could be dumped to. The only problem being in that case that it would probably eat up a fuck-ton of space in a very short period of time, and I don't remember any staff announcement on how much space the server has.

Does anyone have any idea which ones are in demand right now? I'm pretty sure stuff like Touhou has been overdone pretty much everywhere now. Maybe we need a separate thread to discuss this and probably not this one >>>/meta/299/#299 since this would probably be for more general boards. It would probably also make more sense to make them exempt from some rules from the website to make them more casual and easy-going since as mentioned something like the .mp3 board would probably be void of discussion? and I am also thinking that if the number of these niche boards grow it would probably make sense to make a separate /all/ for them (or some of them) from the general boards although maybe that's cutting them off to much from the website?

>>3730
I really like the idea of something like this just imagine /mp3/ - MPEG Audio Layer-3 and only allowed formats for this board would be audio files so no images or videos. If anyone wants any serious conversation maybe make a sticky telling them that there is a dedicated thread on /mu/ where discussion should take place through cross-board quoting or something.

The site could really use a proper posting guide. Something central, stickied, and always visible, updated regularly by the community. A resource to help people improve their posts, like >>>/cre8/1 but broader and not just another thread that gets buried over time. This directory could include practical stuff like links to tools (e.g., ffmpeg guides, simple video editing software) or maybe even ideas on how to better engage with posts. The goal also shouldn't be to overwhelm with a million options like just list the best tools and advice to make things easier. For example we have a lot of users talking about anime, tv, or movies, but barely anyone posts clips to back up what they’re saying. It makes sense though because going through a movie to find a specific scene and then figuring out how to trim and encode it is pretty tedious. But there’s probably software out there that makes this easier, like tools that let you record clips as you’re watching. Maybe this stuff is obvious to some people but honestly I only found out about "Handbrake" the other day, and it made me wonder how many other tools like that exist like things that simplify the process for people who don’t already know the workflow. Maybe this isn't a good idea at all because I'm pretty tired right now as of writing this but think of it the same as a video game tutorial.

Drew this for fun

the shading and colors are really cool!

That looks really fucking cool especially the colors. What was the process that went into creating this?

Thanks.
My process for drawing pictures like this is pretty unusual, because I draw with a M+KB.
Usually, I don't use a paper sketch as a basis, but for this one I did in fact have a paper reference that I used. From then I'll create a digital reference to use as the basis for the digital version, and from then I'll draw out different "chunks" of the piece based on where the light is hitting the subject. If I were to create an analogue to traditional drawing, it's like I draw the white parts, rather than the black parts.
Then I will separate parts of the image into different segments based on the material, i.e "leather", "hair", "cloth", "coat", etc. This is because I typically do coloring and texturing based on the materials, and I like to keep it organized just in case I need to redo/ touch up different segments of the piece.
The final part I do is the actual linework, where I will typically just outline the piece and fill it in with black. This was the first time I didn't use a textured brush for the linework, to experiment.

I forgot to include this, but while I don't have WIP screenshots of it, I did The Punisher separate from Vash himself entirely, and the geometry of putting it together was something I did when I was bored inbetween segments of filling in parts of the coat/ drawing the gun.
Here is a completely black & white version of the image. I think some parts of the picture are better without colors, like the bands and parts of Vash's arm, because they're easier to see.
Coloring is the LAST part of the process that I do, and I like to use lots of paint-themed brushes to add some nice texture. I tried something different with this piece however and did more cel-like shading and coloring, because I thought it would look nice. I'm glad it came out the way it did, and I think I need to find a way to mix this method of shading with my "normal" ways of doing it because then I would have the best of both worlds

Nico Nico Douga is finally coming back tomorrow after the ransomware attack. I tried to convince myself that maybe this was a blessing in disguise thinking that the staff at Nico Nico Douga were taking this opportunity to completely overhaul the site, considering how awful it has become over the years since the disaster that was Nico Nico Zero in 2012 (with its resource-intensive video player, confusing layout, high system requirements, ignored user feedback, etc.). I had hoped they might return to their roots, refocusing on the otaku community, fixing all of the playback issues between different browsers, and easing up on the restrictions between premium and non-premium users.
But how naive was I? It's always been clear that the current corporate staff at Dwango have forgotten the website's BBS origins of being a platform for otakus to share videos with other otakus, and taken to heart the misguided notion from clueless foreigners that Nico Nico is just "Japanese YouTube." This is god damn awful, you can't discern this from any other video website.

NicovideoDL is a web-based method used to download niconico video content, without having to futz with GUI and terminal-based programs, and also the headaches of attaching premium login cookies to your downloader.
As of the relaunch of Nico Nico Douga, you can insert the two letters "dl" after "nicovideo" on your current sm id URL. A message, like the first image attached, should appear, and it will refresh every 5 seconds. Once the video is ready to download, a blue hyperlink appears; simply just click and download the contents to your local filesystem, and you're done! The attached video is an example of the output of nicovideodl.
As of posting, the team is working on guaranteeing premium quality output using this method once those services are fully restored on DWANGO's end. Until then, this is a useful method to bypass content loading errors that might occur, and you simply just want to view and/or save the video locally for backup/safekeeping. (especially if another incident like this happens again!)

Holy fucking shit I thought that the past logs feature on nico nico douga to view old comments was gone for good but lurking this thread here: https://itest.5ch.net/egg/test/read.cgi/software/1716314151 someone managed to implement it here: https://github.com/darthlain/nicodl_release The output will be a .xml file which you can put into something like https://air.fem.jp/ (commeon) along side the video and it will display all of the comments. commeon by itself should be able to fetch past logs but I keep getting a bad request for some unknown reason.
Anyways the nicodl_option.json should look something like this:

{
"dl_dir": "", (put in the url where to save video, MAKE SURE IT IS DOUBLE BACKSLAHES \\)
"yt_dlp_path": (put in the url where yt-dlp.exe is located, MAKE SURE IT IS DOUBLE BACKSLAHES \\)
"comment_mail": "",
"comment_pass": "",
"user_session": "", (Press F12 in chrome and go to application and go to cookies and find the value of user_session.)
"is_video": "true",
"is_comment": "true",
"is_kakolog": "true", (make sure this is set to true to download past comments)
"is_kantan": "",
"comment_fileformat": "",
"end_presswait": "true" (press enter on finish)
}

then when this configuration is correct open nicodl.exe and press the "a" key put in a URL and then write "nico" to start downloading.

As of October 30th, 2024 (Unknown Time, JST), access to niconico content flagged as sensitive and explicit are geo-restricted if you are detected as a user (registered or not) outside of Japan. Attached to this post are two images: first is the restricted results, even with sensitive content displayed turned on in user settings; second image displays what it is like with a Japanese non-residential IP. The final image is a message when attempting to access flagged-as-explicit content as a non-Japanese IP. Side note: it's really interesting seeing the nicopedia content preview hidden when looking up tags as well under a foreign IP.

My game is going to take a fucking month to come in??????????
Anyhow taiko is being launched in america, i wonder if they will still keep the old one at my arcade? also i found this on youtube, this is how babby formed? https://youtube.com/watch?v=rJ0yycGGOKc [Play]

https://taiko.ani-nya.com/
someone must have ported the mobile app version of taiko to a web app, i guess other versions hosted by other people got takem dowm by namco lol.

They have quite a few RPGmaker games on the switch shop like AO ONI, and IB

>>3733
They also ported a game that was only on steam
Milk Inside a Bag of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk and part two of that game.
It's a psychological horror game that was supposed to be high quality stuff. I saw a playthrough ages ago and its kind of nice that it was ported.

god dammit i thought desert punk ended in volume 13 but i guess publication ended in 2020, it's been a while so maybe i should check it out again and maybe it'll have a better ending.

i actually planted a maple tree in my front yard lol, they gave away free trees during arbor day.

>>3703
Do you see any signs of the tree growing?

>>3706
it was tiny before like as tall as my leg and now its around my height.

It finally started getting cold outside for once. Usually it is around late octoberthe weather dips.

>>3707
It seems like the tree is growing fast.
>>3738
I love and hate it at the same time. The cold scares away normalfags but at the same time, the sun comes down way too early.

Yeah, the majority of meows from the younger cat is to the older cat.

met two farmcats the other day. both let me pet them and one of them was shy. their names? corncob and cornpop. corncob was a brown tabby and she was pregnant. she rubbed against me. cornpop was a tuxedo cat who was shy, meowed at me and then let me pet him. good cats overall.

Today was the fourth anniversary of taking care of my cat. Thank you catface for being a joy!

I think its wild that calicos are viewed as lucky around the world.

I befriended the cat who works at the local store. I did not realise their tongues are like sandpaper!

>>3480
Most likely they feel secure, or that they are guarding you from potential prey.

What is the visual difference between tired eyes and bug eyes?

>>3718
tired eyes is when they squint

bug eyes is when the eyes are wide open to the point where they appear to pop out

What touhou games should i play first? Is there a specific order i can play for story reasons?

>>3720
I thought I had bug eyes this week but I could barely keep my eyes open all the way.

I bought the last first appearance spidey figure they had in store. The package was damaged so i had to take the figure out. I like how they are making the figures without visible pins. I noticed parts of the figure was miscolored, and i had to remove some plastic that kind of stuck out funny but it doesn't matter. No matter what i like it.

I'm actually sure it looks like a MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II, yes its missing parts that a rick dom specifically has but i dunno like the arms and some of the parts like the hands stick out to me. Also some of the joint parts was borrowed from the dwage. Still like it and gonna build it but if i see a hguc revive version i'll snag it for anime accuracy.

i forgot to post a pic of the sinanju and the 1.5 gundam.
i learned something recently with the sinanju, where the waist peg is prone to breaking, they changed the plastic to make it less fragle, but it still breaks on people BUT, they sell brass pegs online for 10 bucks so its actually no big deal. also they sell the inner frame, but made of metal which i will totally buy in the future lol.

made some progress with the entry grade nu gundam, new nippers cut cleaner then old,but i still need to be careful.

>>3570
i finished him on halloween, everything went smooth but i fucked up on the gun part even with my new nippers. (will post a pic soon)
in other news i bought a shfigurearts figure of zoro for 10 bucks, "the raid on onigashima" version. i have no real clue why shfigurearts are so pricey, he's like 60 bucks online. also i guess people don't like him too much, i guess the outfit he wears is a thick plastic and it kills the articulation. i still think he looks cool though. personally i would have liked romance dawn but beggars can't be choosers. they had luffy for the same price but i passed on him.
