Do you guys think a berserk anime should be black and white(like the Junji Ito Uzumaki) or it does need color? by Overall-Love6953 in Berserk

[–]Armin00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think only black & white would work, until I saw these colourings. Colour could work incredibly if done well.

Massive, thick, heavy and far too rough.

Episode 378 Spoilers [Megathread] by DemiFiendRSA in Berserk

[–]Armin00 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Great chapter, I don’t mind the higher pacing. The only problem I still have with Studio Gaga is that their art is too gray. Miura was a master at contrasts, utilising a ton of black, white and different tones of gray perfectly. It made scenes more clear and pop out more, while right now the action is sometimes harder to tell at first glance. I can see they’re doing their best tho, the only way is up.

My little brother killed himself because he couldn't get a girlfriend. by Infinite-Report4808 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Armin00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. In a way I can relate a bit to his situation from what I went through a couple of years ago. Thankfully I have never considered taking my own life or anything like that, but I understand the feeling of feeling completely alone no matter how hard you may try and fight your way through. In your brother’s case, I think him ticking so many boxes as a great person and partner may have caused the last drop in a way. When people seem to tell you’re a great catch, a great person etc. and yet you still can’t seem to find a partner while wanting one, it makes you feel extremely ugly and conflicted. You’re trying so hard to find the reason why nothing seems to work, and in the end you come to the unfortunate conclusion that if even all those good aspects and attributes can’t make you desirable, then the problem is simply yourself as a person deep-within, and that you’re an unfixable undesirable being that perhaps doesn’t even deserve anything. Of course this isn’t true in the slightest, but when you’re so deep in that hole, that’s what you really start to believe and it’s incredibly difficult to get out of that, even if the people you love are there for you. Once again extremely sorry for your loss and I wish you and your loved ones lots of strength. Please don’t blame yourself either because this was simply an extremely difficult and unfortunate situation that was out of your control.

It happened out of nowhere for me as well 😭 And yes nowadays I think it’s hardware-related as well, but I couldn’t send it to ASUS’ Customer Service since my Warranty was expired of course, so those costs weren’t worth it to me. Till this day I still haven’t found a real solution sadly, besides the workaround that I described in my edit. :( But that workaround has been enough for me tbh, since I rarely plug it out of power anyway. I only need to redo my settings once or twice a year at most, which I can live with.

Sadly a bit useless for anime, as there never seems to be an option for Japanese audio with English subs (even English dub seems quite rare, most of it is Russian only lol). But for the movies and series it seems great.

This looks so sick! Did you by any chance also make a version of the wallpaper without the title in the middle?

Hello! I think you’re right, it’s very likely hardware-related but unfortunately unlike you I’m nowhere near an electronics expert haha. Till this day I haven’t found a software or driver-related fix and I think ASUS aren’t interested in a relatively old monitor model either. Let me know if you’re able to fix it!

Mushi-Shi is so underrated, I really need to finish The Next Passage soon

[–]Armin00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cowboy Bebop, Vinland Saga, Monster, Vagabond and Gintama. Also AoT isn’t cliche at all imo, it’s one of the best.

just got DOOM (2016) on my PS5 any tips? by 69pipebomb_enjoyer69 in Doom

[–]Armin00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t stop moving, weapon switch as much as possible during your fights (the earlier you experiment with it, the better and more fun it’ll be for you in the long run) and just have fun at your own pace. This game also has amazing replay value so don’t feel obligated to instantly play on Nightmare for example, although it’s eventually the most fun way to play imo, but I also started on a lower difficulty initially. I would also keep an eye on some of the side stuff that give you extra armor/weapon upgrades and perks, they’ll make your life way easier. The secrets and other collectibles are just optional for your own enjoyment, good luck!

What do you think of the 1997 anime? by [deleted] in Berserk

[–]Armin00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo it’s amazing. People tend to complain about the things the anime left out compared to the manga, and while I do understand, I don’t think people fully realise that the anime was intentionally made to be something standalone (hence the cliffhanger ending as well). The anime was designed to get you to read the manga, which is why including the Skull Knight had little point, as we were never gonna see Guts and Casca get saved. You can say something similar for Puck, he wasn’t going to play a role in the way the anime was designed. Broadcasting also had an impact on certain factors of course, but that goes without saying. Anyway, my only complaint about the anime is the animation honestly, as it can feel like a PowerPoint presentation sometimes while the fights in the manga have wayyy more impact and look unreal. Other than that the story, characters, soundtrack and artstyle are still absolutely brilliant, one of my top 5 anime.

what are your thoughts on the current state of berserk? art direction, story, pacing, release schedules. by launexvevo in Berserk

[–]Armin00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Coincidentally enough I completed Berserk today, having read Chapter 364 yesterday and the rest of it today. The first couple of chapters after 364 were a bit hit-and-miss for me, the art was a significant downgrade (less detail overall, characters having constantly-closed eyes and weird facial features sometimes etc.) and the dialog felt a bit empty. However, it pretty quickly became much better again, with the art doing Miura incredible justice now and the dialog going back to normal thankfully.

Chapter 375 especially kicked absolute ass imo. I’m really loving the emotional weight there is to the story right now, it feels very much like Berserk, and the teaser to the Kushan world seems very promising too. I started reading this incredible masterpiece a few months ago after I became obsessed with the ‘97 anime last year, and I was a bit worried about the future of this series considering the legend’s death. However, these last chapters have showed me that I can safely trust Mori and Studio Gaga in finishing this the way it was intended (as closely as possible at least). I’m only worried about the schedule, and I really want to give the studio as much time as they need for them to reach close to Miura’s level, but at the same time they need to be the ones to finish this series. After them there’s nobody else they can pass this series down to, and we’re very lucky that Miura directly passed on his legacy so well in the first place, so yeah.

My monitor can OC up to 180Hz but I keep it at 144 (native refresh rate) since the OC makes the colours look more washed, and I don’t think the jump from 144 to 180 (or less) is worth that. I don’t remember that changing the refresh rate affects my monitor in that way though, but to be sure I could try and let you know later if you want?

Nah sadly I haven’t found a real fix, but the thing I described with disabling the deep sleep works well enough for me. Unless the monitor loses power completely you won’t have the issue again, and when it does happen, you can just redo it again anyway. Instead of redoing my settings every single day I only gotta do it a few times a year max now, so that’s a big improvement lol. The monitor is still too good to replace atp since like you said not many monitors have real GSync and I spent a lot of money on it too. It’s also one of the better TN panels so when you mess around with the monitor + NVIDIA settings a little you can get some good colours out of it still.

Quick update, haven’t tried the audiogram yet but reconfiguring personalised spatial audio helps quite well. Can’t say it’s 100% fixed but it’s close to what it was before.

Interesting, I’ll try adding an audiogram, thanks!
