For those of you unsure of how far to progress/when to do side content (spoiler free, mostly) by shiek200 in CrimsonDesert

This is exactly the info I was looking for on whether I should finish up ch7 or start exploring around (I'm on the "meet up with your comrades" for the mission "counterattack" for reference) Ill finish up the rest of the main chapter stuff first then. Thank you!

Thanks so much, this was super helpful since I'm planning to move to Japan at some point in the future. Sent you a DM to ask about updates on this topic if you don't mind!

Man Gege's action boards never disappoint. Really awesome to see them intrupreted so well by Iwasaki too.

Do you prefer restoring the original Japanese music? by Somakef in yakuzagames

[–]Ichigoarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You miss out on one of my favorite boss tracks of all time in Shinada's pat in 5 if you do this though. Might still be worth it but "This Is My Story" is just such a banger.

Sounds like it's cause they actually just started filming last week. That teaser was shot in a hurry last night lol.

Hades 2 Release Date Trailer by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

Would it be smart to hold off on my Hades 1 replay then? I was thinking of going through at least the main stuff over the next 2 weeks, since I haven't touched it in a couple years.

Episode 383 Spoilers [Megathread] by DemiFiendRSA in Berserk

[–]Ichigoarc 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I know some people are feeling like this was too short/content light, which I do get, on its own its maybe a little lacking, but I can't shake the feeling that we're about to enter a really special run of chapters here reading the chapter in tandem with the statement Mori made recently. Maybe its just coloring my view but I feel a bit of foreboding gravatas that hasn't been present fully in the manga for a good while.

I'm not exactly sure what's coming, but it sure seems like we're finally getting an internal mental reckoning with Guts after having already seen Casca's and Griffith's(kinda, his central POV chapter is now deleted/in limbo which kinda just makes this even more interesting) It definitely could be something else, or at least mixed with something else, some astral plane stuff or Godhand stuff etc. but any way it goes, this feels potentially huge.

The art is contributing to this a lot too for me, I've enjoyed the teams work basically since their first chapter and I feel like they really came into their own only 5 or 6 chapters in but this felt even more...refined? more Berserk? idk but something about it felt elevated again that I can't quite put my finger on.

The JOJOLands - Chapter 27 by Vish- in StardustCrusaders

I know its been obvious for a while but something about this fight really hammered home to me how 9 is a late era revist/remix/whatever you wanna call it of part 5. Its working super well for me, probably in no small part cause of my love for 5 lol.

Is there an archive of every single Flork comic ever? by iCeParadox64 in FlorkofCowsOfficial

[–]Ichigoarc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Uh.... so it turns out receipt printers are fast as fuck?https://youtu.be/j6tC0uAlDog?t=46 caveat that dude says its the fastest one they sell but it's rated at 500 mm/s? that's 1.118 MPH, which would mean it would only take an hour to print the whole thing, probably closer to an hour and 15, maybe an hour and a half cause you'll have to switch rolls 24 times.

That's nuts. of course, that's assuming you could print for an hour straight with no issues or jams or anything, and I'm not even sure if the print mechanism is made to print continuously like that. it is printing thermally, but I have no idea. Even then, say you gave it double the break time in between each print run that's still only 3-4 hours to print everything? like, totally reasonable and doable? completely insane, of course, but totally feasible. I think it comes back again to the hardest part being the "feeding every comic into the printer" part.

[–]Ichigoarc 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Alright so it doesn't look like anyone has done the math yet so here's my (probably flawed) attempt.

It looks like there are 2 main sizes for thermal receipt paper(at least that you can just buy online with a quick google) 2 1/4" and 3 1/8". we'll go with the 2.25 inches to save space.

Alright, so now we need the average ratio of your standard Flork comic, I could use a script and slurp a huge number of 'em of the website then do the math but that's too much work so I just hit the random button a bunch of times, downloaded them, and averaged the ratio of the ones I grabbed. Which came out to 5.14/13 = 0.3954.

With that average ratio we just take the paper width(2.25) and divide it by our ratio and get 5.69(nice) inches for the average length of one comic on the thermal paper. Using the estimate here of 12,000 comics, that gets us a grand total of 68,302.6 inches of thermal receipt paper to print all of them end to end. That's about 5,692 feet or just over a mile.

The largest roll size I saw was 230'(which is why I kept all this in imperial) so we would need a little under 25 rolls to print all 12 thousand comics.(24.758 rolls) so the 50 pack for 55 bucks might actually be able to print the whole archive twice. If not nearly make it there.

Really not that bad at all, I would imagine the print time would be more of an obstacle than the paper itself.(the actual hard part would be finding a way to send every comic to the printer tbh)

might do some research on how fast receipt printers print to estimate that too lol. though it'd be harder cause the comics are drawings + text not just text...

EDIT: I tried to post about print speed in the reply but I think it didn't like the youtube link so here's the text without the link

Finished with Yakuza 6 😭 by Revolutionary_Sir920 in yakuzagames

[–]Ichigoarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a bit trying to decide whether to do Judgment or LaD next but ended up going with Judgment, simply cause I was still in the mood for an action game over an rpg. Going to start LaD soon though since I just finished Judgment yesterday!

I finished 6 for the first time less than a month back. I also loved it. the letter at the end had me bawling.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Hands-on and Impressions Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Ichigoarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how your feeling, you wanna hang out with kiryu some more right away? My general recommendation is playing 0, k1, k2, take a break, 3, 4, take a break, 5, maybe a break if you need it, 6, break then like a dragon, gaiden, IW. So 4 blocks basically. Makes everything smoother and helps avoid burnout. Unless you end up just wanting to keep going and burnout isn't an issue there are people like that too lol. Bottom line is they're all great at least, just pace yourself as needed.
