  • The setup is better than say, Solo Leveling, but once its done it gets a lot blander just like Solo Leveling.

    Granted Solo Leveling has way more issues and is 90% carried by good animation.

    I also think the protagonist from Arifureta has a really cool niche ability but it really is not used creatively. For all intents and purposes after the first dungeon his power is “gun” (with “gun” being flexible) and sometimes vehicles or a shield, all of which he got from first dungeon iirc.

    It’s creative in a sense that he made firearms out of essentially just magic and knowledge but like… it never evolved past that. Hell I’d take a dust explosion every once in a while or something, thermite, acid. But the focus was “aura” and edginess rather than a compelling or clever protagonist.

    That said I still plan to finish the newest season and will prob watch whatever comes out next. The aesthetic got me and ig thats the point


  • I like parts of this show but it is just super generic harem anime a lot of the time and not really that good.

    Minor compliant:

    Like with

    Annoint

    being

    spoiler

    a new body for that one healer

    I feel like they explained away “And we can reverse it so no harm done”, the protagonists win by miles every time and never have any setbacks.

    Major complaint:

    One time I literally paused the show, it was when they get this random dude in the desert.

    He’s in the backseat of the truck and I paused it thinking “why is this scene wrong”

    That’s like the only time I remember a guy ever being in the backseat, it’s like only ever been female love-interests that are part of his (not-a-)harem. They have so many characters (literally the whole class got isekai’d) but no one gets much screen time unless they’re Yue or a girl with a huge bust that gets added to the not-a-harem


  • I thought about this a lot the other day.

    Its “justification” is in that era girls go married off even younger than that.

    That monk dude has to turn away a girl who’s… 14(?) after she asked him to take her with him and that she’d bear his children.

    Personally, in that setting I think it’s fine as long as they are not like fanservice to the viewer and its actually plot relevant. The monk asking her originally is more for humor as it was clearly shown as ridiculous and when it was more “legal” he took it more seriously and shot it down. That kind of humor is definitely a product of its era (wasn’t the age of consent in Japan like 12 until less than a few decades ago?)

    Also regarding Kagome, this anime was written by a woman and one of the main demographics is schoolgirls who want their heart to flutter by imagining themselves in a pseudo-isekai. Not saying it makes it right but it personally doesn’t bother me because I get why stories like that exist coughTwilightcough

    EDIT: The constitution set it to 13. But most prefectures up-ed it to 16 in recent decades apparently


  • The driver that appears is “snd_hda_intel”, the intel part is apparently just what they decided to name it, doesn’t matter that the board is centered around an AMD Chip

    I’ve disabled the other two devices I have “Navi 31 HDMI/DP Audio” and “Rembrandt Radeon High Definition Audio Controller”

    The former is for Audio through my GPU(?)'s HDMI which i didn’t even know was a thing

    The latter I thought might be the one I needed but apparently its for the hdmi of the board itself

    I will try your advice with alsamixer and see if I can get anything out of it


    Update: Alsamixer I flipped everything off of mute, some things were muted, I also disabled auto-mute but nothing changed.

    Audio from youtube tries to play out to the right card but I have no idea what’s wrong. I’m back to my hdajackretask idea and messing with that




  • Ngl, i love linux so much more and would never go back to windows but right now my audio jack doesn’t work for my new pc build.

    I’ve contacted the manufacturer of the motherboard, they say to try Windows

    I’ve posted on linux questions subreddit, nothing replied

    I’ve posted on EndeavourOS forums, got views, not replies.

    I’ve gone so into the weeds I’m trying to remap pins because I’m assuming the manufacturer relies on something Windows pre-configures so audio will play but it never makes it out of the port but it’s been weeks and I can’t solve it.

    Again, I’d never go back to windows but damn do I feel stranded rn.

    I feel like I would treat my Togruta wife very well ;-;

    Real talk tho, humans will eventually reach the stars, being negative/nihilist about it and saying it’s better if it doesn’t happen is dangerous because people like Elon/Donald will definitely do horrible things if people with remorse and morals aren’t involved/ already established there / the one’s initiating

    Not saying you’re nihilist, but I go to Uni in SF and everyone is so anti-imperialism that they think any form of colonization (even on a dead planet like Mars) is bad and it’s pretty grating.

    Elon should not be the one who decides how the land/living conditions are set up


  • Being able to “prove” that something is AI generated usually means that:

    A) The model the generated it leaves a watermark, either visually or hidden

    B) The model is well known enough that you can deduce a pattern and reference what you’re checking with that pattern.

    The problem with the former is that you are trusted this corporations (or individuals training their own models, or malicious actors) to do so.

    There are also problems with the latter: The models are constantly iterating and being patched to fix issues that people notice (favoring certain words, not being able to draw glasses of liquids full to the brim, etc)

    Also, if the image or work was made using a niche or not well-documented AI then it probably wouldn’t be a pattern that you’re checking.

    Also also, theres a high false positive rate, because it’s just pattern matching mostly.


  • There is “ELO” in these dating apps,

    Swiping a lot at a low success rate makes your elo drop and you appear less in general, and if you do appear it’ll probably be to another low elo person.

    I don’t like dating apps but if I had to advise, delete and remake the account to be “fresh” elo with no history and say no atleast 90% of the time. With the 10% being what you think is a decent shot.








  • I understand but I literally just left Nogales to visit my stepfather and during my week there there were so many campaign ads. The only thing he told me about them is that candidates from all positions from Mayor to Governor and up wind up dead all the time.

    Apparently it’s really common and my father had a similar reaction to the top comment. Yes it’s scary but it’s something that the government needs to take precautions for


  • I’m a cs student rn and there’s a lot of stuff that I’m learning specifically with UNIX and Linux related things. I use my steamdeck as a daily driver (literally sit in the front of class, pull out my steamdeck with my jsaux case and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo)

    There’s some issues with the walled garden. The way they do system updates is basically by having system stuff on its own partition and overwriting it. It functions well for a “casual” person that doesn’t care about linux that much.

    The issue is that I have to install things sometimes. Even things as simple as an OpenVPN package so I can use my nordvpn. Updates sometimes will wipe things I install in package manager. Other things (like Xelatex) are simply too big to fit in this partition so I have to install lighter packages even if I want to use the whole thing (Math formulas need a LOT of symbols).

    This has actually led me to see if it’s worth it to install a third party OS. Bazzite was a good contender but I like Arch with the KDE desktop so ultimately I would just want a steamOS that I could install more things on.

    Currently I’m looking into how I can achieve this. I don’t know if I should just enlarge the partition holding the system files, or if there is some pacman settings that I could have packages installed elsewhere and automatically symbolically linked in /user or wherever it needs


  • I use it as daily driver. I have a JSAUX dock with ssd for home, I unplug and bring it with me to university and use it with a bluetooth folding keyboard and house I got for <50$.

    It does everything I need. I’m a CS Major and “Boxes” works well for any sandbox environment I need.

    If you’re super technical, some thing in SteamOS can limit you, like how system files are on their own partition that gets wiped every update. But it’s perfectly doable


  • Female outfits are typically more interesting, like in GTA maybe it’s not as bad but I’m tired of every endgame male armor in rpgs of MMOs being a guy in a giant mountain of metal. It doesn’t look “badass” it looks stupid and bland. (On the flip side bikini armor is also stupid)

    That and female voices are just more… appealing? Idk the science behind it but there’s a reason AI assistants are like 95% female voices.


  • One Way Heroics (Plus)

    Made by a guy in Japan. Uses a custom engine and has really intricate rpg elements, super cool and I’m a huge fan. Basically you’re constantly moving right because a black fog is consuming the world and if you aren’t fast enough then it’ll consume you too. Kind of plays like a Roguelike, but runs can have the shorter objectives, or the really long ones.

    Granted it’s not perfect:

    • It was made by one guy so after a certain amount of time you kinda see most things, needs mods (which doesn’t exist) or more content.
    • You only get one stat per level-up, and if you get like “carryweight” five times in a row, then you kinda just got low-rolled and are weak-af
    • You can’t actually determine what biomes you end up in so sometimes you just get volcano 3 times in a row and it kinda sucks, it would be nice to see biomes up ahead and chart a course
    • There’s some “degen weeb” dialogue that’s funny about once and then kinda weird. (Characters simp hard af for you after your run if you get SSS rank in a category they rate you in, theres some “prefixes” that give alternate dialogue to npcs, so if you get a “Naughty” Dosey/Frida/Mila then all her dialogue is degenerate af for the rest of the run)

    But I still love the game, and one of my first projects I plan on is making a hexagonal-grid version of the engine that would enable the above (gameplay) issues to be fixed, something might come out of it tbh.
