zabadoh,

Is that from a movie?

p.s. The flag in the background in the full photo in the article indicates that this happened in Taiwan, not mainland China.

zabadoh,

from the MAL reviews of the source manga: myanimelist.net/manga/122150/Isekai_Shikkaku

Isekai’d hero doesn’t care about saving the world. He only wants to commit suicide with his lover in his first life that he suspects has also been isekai’d to the same world.

Things turn out okay, despite his best efforts to kill himself, e.g. He poisons himself with the intent to commit suicide, but he can’t die, so his blood becomes poison to enemies who attack him (paraphrased from a MAL review)

It’s a comedy.

It doesn’t sound like the strongest concept, but 10 volumes of manga and still going…

Positive MAL reviewers say to read until the 7-8th chapter when the writing kicks in.

Now, THIS may be an interesting indicator on the state of the Japanese anime industry…

This is actually a Chinese animated adaptation of a Korean manhwa, that’s getting a Japanese dub.

Are the Chinese studios going to start buying up rights to adapt good IPs, leaving Japanese-backed productions out in the cold?

Remember that article about the Japanese yen being devalued so much that they can’t afford to outsource their animation work to overseas studios?

That also applies to buying rights to non-Japanese sources, such as Korean manhwa, which are becoming more important as source material that appeals to an international, not just a Japanese, audience.

If other nations’ animation studios grab good IPs, and release them on the Japanese market, the anime profits go overseas, then Japanese studios may start going bankrupt because they can’t compete on a production pricing level.

Specifically, the more Chinese studios get involved in high-level production decisions, that may subtly affect the social attitudes that get the funding to become animated, i.e. no anti-authoritarianism, government is always right, Westerners are baka imperialists, etc.

edit: Not that there aren’t subtle things in anime either, e.g. missing discussion about the role of Japan’s Imperial government in WW2.

zabadoh,

And Hideaki Anno formed studio Khara, which has been financially supporting Gainax, and is a major creditor.

Khara (and Anno) has now acquired the Gainax trademark and serves as the manager of the trademark.

The good news is that:

Co-founder Hideaki Anno’s current studio Khara acquires Gainax’s trademark

You couldn’t ask for the Gainax IP’s to be in better hands than the most accomplished of Gainax’s founders.

zabadoh,

Why? To kill them off faster?

zabadoh,

It just goes to prove that if you have enough money, you can always find some woman to jump on your withered dick.

zabadoh,

Performance art and stagecraft more than useful information.

But fun to watch nonetheless!

Fraud trial juror reports getting bag of $120,000 and promise of more if she'll acquit (apnews.com)

A juror was dismissed Monday after reporting that a woman dropped a bag of $120,000 in cash at her home and offered her more money if she would vote to acquit seven people charged with stealing more than $40 million from a program meant to feed children during the pandemic....

zabadoh,

Since she dropped the money off with the police, the person who owns the money can come and claim it.

If nobody claims it within a certain period of time, then the money is officially hers to keep.

If someone does come and claim it, then they will probably get in a lot of legal trouble.

i.e. The money’s about as good as the former juror’s. She just needs to wait.

zabadoh,

Good point!

Internet forums, TV shows, movies, and videogames are fun, but they’re not a good substitute for talking to real live humans, especially your peers of the similar age and background.

You gotta put yourself in some place where you meet the same people consistently to become friends with them.

It takes on average 8 encounters with conversations to become someone’s friend, so you have to be consistently there over a period of time.

Go volunteer anywhere, get a menial job anywhere. Especially if it’s something you think you’ll hate, you’ll learn something and at least you’ll be interacting with people.

You’re in college, and you should be thinking about your future. Summer is no time to waste, and you should be (or should have been) looking into internships in some career field that you’re interested in. Again, don’t turn your nose up at a company or type of work that isn’t the latest and greatest, because you’ll learn something by doing anything. If you have free housing with supportive parents, you can even ask a company to intern for free just to get in to some experience in a field that you’re interested in. Or maybe not interested in. For example, you might like computers, but you might find work on a farm or veterinary clinic and find out that you like animals even more.

When you do go back to school:

Does your college have a cafeteria on campus? Spend some time at the same one, every class day, for lunch and/or dinner, (preferably both) and join the same group at the same table. You’ll probably recognize people in some classes you’re taking, and you can use that as an “in” to get conversations started. Or even just overhearing people talking about something you’re interested in, in which case, just join in.

Where do y'all recommend looking to find no-disc game patches in general?

Mostly asking because I’ve never used these before due to never needing to. That, and I have a few old disc based PC games that I’d love to be able to straight up boot without the game disc. These are games I could just pirate, but I figure I already own them in disc, so I’d rather see if there are any reputable places...

zabadoh,

Those no-disc patches can be sketchy and infected, so watch out!

My preferred way to play games without CDs was virtual disc emulators, so you can store a copy of your game disc on your hard drive, and virtually pop that game’s CD image into the virtual drive in when you want to play that specific game.

One good trick with these, is that you don’t even need a full copy of the disc: There was some trick to creating a very small disc image that just has enough information to get past the game’s copy protection, but it’s been well over 2 decades since I did any of that, so you’ll have to do your own research.

zabadoh,

It’s such a convoluted plot. I don’t even remember where it left off… I hope there will be some recap episode(s).

zabadoh,

Okay, but what is bad about it?

zabadoh,

It sounds like you liked the source material.

Sorry it got a bad adaptation.

zabadoh,

The title for this post ends with “Week 22” which is fairly meaningless… I think the count started last season, but didn’t get reset to “Week 1” at the start of the current season, some 9 weeks ago.

Another thing on the list for improvements?

zabadoh,

An opinion piece from the right wing echo chamber…

Every single article on the home page right wing slant about the Trump trial.

zabadoh,

Skydance: Started and run by Larry Ellison’s son, David Ellison, and being that, it’s impossible for him to run out of money.

I hope he’s a Trekkie.
