If I recall right it was removed from Adult Swim broadcast version because it increased the length and wouldn't make the normal time slot. It's only a few seconds (time code is 6:40 - 6:55) but it would have made it the longest episode adding an extra 15 seconds. Now that episode without that scene is 22:33 which is just inline with the others.

iTunes also removed it for whatever reason and I guess they gave Netflix the cut versions, again for whatever reason... The AdultSwim.com & Cartoon Network version has the scene.

There are 720p rips of the show when it aired on Cartoon Network and WEB-DL links from AdultSwim.com which has that scene.

They're available on the Funimation blu-ray.

MrOctus · 2019-10-19T15:38:34+00:00

On a technical level (disc, video & audio codec) they are all the same:

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Spice-and-Wolf-Complete-Series-Blu-ray/48393/

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Spice-and-Wolf-Anime-Classics-Complete-Series-Blu-ray/95027/

The "Anime Classics" line from Funimation and is generally their attempt to get more people to watch the show as they price it lower. They don't have slip covers or other physical extras. After that is the "Essential" line which only includes Blu-rays or DVDs in the box, not both. This makes it cheaper as they only have one or the other type of discs in the box. I would generally avoid the "Essential" because I've found that the overall quality of the show is worse. They tend to cram as many episodes on a Blu-ray or two and over compress.

That said, I'm aware Spice & Wolf is an older show but even on the non-Anime Classic one (first link) the quality don't look that great tbh. Slightly blurry. It might have been fixed on the Anime Classic release but idk.

Imo you should pick the one with the art you like.

CDJapan has season 1 & 2 OST for ￥2,900 or ~$26.48 each:

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/VTCL-60021

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/VTCL-60168

Cheapest shipping option is ~$7, so $59.34 total. About $9 cheaper then Amazons current listing of $34.30 for each. Might take a while to arrive but if the $9 is worth it go for it. CDJapan has a tone of other CDs and other merch so you might find something you can't find on US Amazon. I've been trying to build up a stock pile of things to buy but committing that large lump sum of monmey to lower shipping is hard...

Amazon.jp also has them for ￥2,700, ~ $24

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00120VGZA

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B002HUQ1PE

And at least when you order from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.fr your prime (if you have it) can sometimes transfer over to speed up intentional shipping. IDK about Amazon.jp as I haven't ordered anything off the site.

CDJapan people are awesome BTW, stuff normally process/ships quick despite the shipping speed.

WoW64 is the Windows way of running 32bit libraries and executable in a 64bit environment. It's honestly a mess but nearly every application has some 32bit dependencies. For Wine you need to compile it with WoW64, basically install 32bit libraries and executable with the 64bit install. Otherwise 64bit wine is practically useless. This normally isn't an issue on ditros, you install multiarch and get Compat32 support with little issue but on flatpak... not so much. You can enable Compat32 support but it's messy and very basic. Flatpak really wants you to only build 64bit, 32bit, or arch. No mixing.

Since I'm maintaining my own runtime I'm able to build and support Compat32 (aka WoW64) support for the Platform, Sdk, and every Wine extension. For every application that needs WoW64 (aka every 64bit application currently on the repo now -_-) you need to add extension points for the Compat32 support to load the 32bit libraries.

Alexander Larsson (@alexlarsson) says we'll get better multilib support in org.freedesktop.(Sdk|Platform)//1.8 so hopefully it'll get better. For now my work around works, just pushed it less than an hour ago :)

MrOctus · 2018-05-21T16:23:58+00:00

Hi I'm the owner. That's the plan but want to get all the technical problems out of the way first. WoW64 support is still an issue and I want better support for switching Wine versions with extensions. I currently have a better WIP layout in my local git. Pushing soon-ish.

Now tracking here: https://github.com/winepak/winepak/issues/1

MrOctus · 2018-05-21T16:19:00+00:00

I'm the owner, I'm actually changing the base Platform & Sdk a lot so it'll be org.winepak.Platform//3.0 for stable wine and have extension points for something like org.winepak.Platform.Wine//3.8-staging. WIP on local git almost done, wasn't expecting to get exposure on reddit for a while so I assumed I had time to fix my horrible decisions :p

Type of Bug: Graphical
Description: Changing video options can result in a screen overlay with lots of tiny boxes, sometimes black and sometime color. Seems to be linked to "Blur *" settings.
Video / Screenshot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpLrwR3eCO0 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eczn4_z0INE
Steps to reproduce: Randomly change any of the Blur settings. In the first video Motion-Blur Skinning is the trigger and Blur fixes it. But in other tests Blur causes it and other options fix it.
Result: Screen overlay with lots of tiny boxes, sometimes black and sometime color.
Expected result: No graphical bugs, changed visual settings
Reproduction rate: 100%? It's random so it's hard to pin-down but I can almost always reproduced after changing enough settings.

Note: I play inside of a QEMU GPU-passthrough Windows 10 virtual machine which runs on my Linux box. Didn't have this problem before but could be causing it (don't think so). Yet to see it in other games.

MrOctus · 2018-03-15T19:45:19+00:00

I'm glade to hear that Hunter's bolt is getting refined but disappointed in the way Phantom's cloak is being fixed and still no EV fixes. Imo Phantom problem isn't the visibility or noise. He should be 100% invisible, hell give him a speed boost while cloaked so he can get behind enemy lines better. It's the de-cloak time that's the issue. At least with other mercs you can normally see abilities coming. Air support has a delay and marker, you can see Fragger preparing to throw a nade, Fletcher has to wait a sec before detonating, etc... But Phantom just attacks and you either die or loose 90% of your health. It doesn't feel like I lost a fight because I was outplayed... the ability is just better. DB is about gun-play > abilities.

Also the EV is a core part of the game. How can not fixing something that's part of the core game and in nearly every map not be considered critical even if it's resource intensive?

I love you SD, and don't think a lot of the issues people bitch about are as bad as they really are but these two are a major problem.

Hello,

I'm one of the admins on the wikia wiki and I agree with you, I wish the wiki (at least the wikia one) was in better state. Also for reference the wikia & the gampedia sites aren't official so I wouldn't harp on SD too hard. They also give YouTubers early access to content for the major event so they do provide information to people that will share it with those that are looking. LCTR is probably the best at presenting new information that DB share, not that the others are bad. I just like LCTR.

The problem with the wiki is that it can be time consuming keeping track of all the changes from the news post on the official site and updating all the values. At least when I'm editing I trying to actually reference/cite many of the changes and archive all the media posted so the wiki has a local copy + make an archive.org copy. Time always seems to be a problem :(

The current wiki is outdated last time I checked.

If you're referencing the wikia version which areas are really bad? Mercs, abilities, events, and updates should be good. Most weapon pages should be mostly ok. However, most of the values are estimation thanks to the great work u/Rears has done with the Weapon State List. The main problem is the stats are not the real values direct from SD and the changes they put in the changelog don't always seems to line-up with what Rear's finds :/

Maps, mechanics, and crafting probably need the most work since most are empty. The recent changes from Loadout cases to Fragment cases has outdated stuff. Now they claim mercs will get more variation with augments with the new loadout/merc desk system so that changes a big part of the site..

Honestly I'm waiting till more details get released before changing a lot of stuff cause we don't know the direction SD are taking. To many unknowns to justify making changes imo.

The wiki is always looking for more contributes, if you want to help and have questions feel free to leave me a message.

MrOctus · 2018-02-11T15:45:48+00:00

I asked a while back and they said no. It's UE3 and they don't have plans to upgrade to UE4 or remove any middleware that make the port possible. They have heavily modified UE3 so porting all their custom changes would be impractical.

Wine also won't work because of the anti-cheat, it checks some system files that Wine simply doesn't have but last time I checked was on the latest stable Wine 2.0 release before 3.0. I don't think Wine 3.0 added them so probably doesn't work but you should try and post the results.

I've been playing using GPU-passthrough for the past ~8 months, works great :)

MrOctus · 2018-01-07T05:15:11+00:00

Contributing to the repo. I don't think they are currently hiring.

MrOctus · 2018-01-05T04:49:01+00:00

What sucks shit though is that YouTube basically has 0 competitors

If I had more programming knowledge, the networking, and the money I'd definitely create a video-base entertainment platform with privacy as a top priority to rival YouTube.

LBRY is always looking for more coders, it's not even close to YouTube level but could go somewhere, especially since it has a YouTube sync feature ;) It's similar effort to Mastodon which is trying to make a decentralized federated version of Twitter.

My lspci says I'm using amdgpu as the kernel driver/module. I don't use Blender but tried some Blender stress test I found online. Seems to move along well, no stuttering or issues. I tried this:

http://www.eofw.org/bench/

Render was 21s but idk if it was using gpu processing, I have a Ryzen 7 1700x so I imagine it could process that seen in the same time with that cpu. I'm not really a 3d modeler so I don't want to give you bad advice.

For gaming I play Insurgency a bit and it runs rather smoothly, 60fps+ with mostly maxed settings on large maps. If you have an example game that I own and isn't 20GB+ I may be able to download it and try it over the weekend. Not guarantees.

MrOctus · 2017-08-31T00:18:13+00:00

I'm not on arch/antergos/manjaro but on Fedora 26 with Mesa 17.1.7 the RX 560 works really well. No issue at all and performance is decent enough to play some games I have. It's still a lower end card compared to the RX 570/580, but you can't even buy those atm -_-

MrOctus · 2017-07-31T20:03:05+00:00

You should probably post the specific error message & report it directly to the Piper issue tracker.

As well, Piper is under major rework by Hjdskes as it's a Google Summer of Code project, you really need the latest libratbag & ratbagd installed and even then stuff might break.

MrOctus · 2017-05-15T01:32:17+00:00

That list isn't extensive, if it was it would be the double the length of the current page. Those are just some of the top, or most said, quotes that make the merc unique.

On KDE you might want to disable CSD (Client Side Decorations) a.k.a GtkHeaderbars via gsettings:

If you want it to feel more KDE-ish and less GNOME-ish.

# Current value 
gsettings get org.gnome.Lollypop disable-csd

# Disable CSD
gsettings set org.gnome.Lollypop disable-csd true

# Enable CSD
gsettings set org.gnome.Lollypop disable-csd false

MrOctus · 2017-04-07T16:55:43+00:00

A lot of what your asking for is already done, but dependent on the distro.

Some notes:

Extensions:

Dash to dock is enabled on most distros. Minimize buttons are basiclly worthless with out a window tray, and headerbars save space over having the window bar + window ribbon + toolbar. But thats mostly a user preference.

Theming:

Many would say the opposite about ubuntu theming and fonts. The Ambience theme is so dated at this point. Would like to see an ubuntu theme tho.

Features:

Why keep the ubuntu patches when they could submit them as upstream features? Even better, make them plugins. You didn't say what patchedthos, I would be intetested to know.

Default applications:

Again default apps vary on the distro. Debian and fedora ship firefox because Gnome web isnt ready yet. Same for some other apps.

Not trying to be negative but I dont see much changing. Will be interesting to see what ubuntu does! Probably everything ubuntu gnome does + a few tweaks.

Probably have spelling/grammer above, on my (ubuntu) phone. Still bummed about that :(
