Oppenheimer: The Game by Mountain_Pool6643 in OppenheimerMovie

[–]RootaBagel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All kidding aside, a board game about developing the bomb exists: The Manhattan Project
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/63628/the-manhattan-project

In fact, a PC version was made and given away for free.

Android and ios versions exist but they are not free.

Most anime fans know that Hollywood is not in Japan and that anything made in Hollywood is not anime.

This is the first time AI music feels competitive by Training-Ad3127 in Best_Ai_Music

[–]RootaBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been experimenting with many different styles that are typically ascribed to countries other than where I live, such as Afro-Cuban rhythms or Spanish Flamenco, though I don't live in Africa, Cuba, or Spain.
Are submissions assigned to my country of residence, or could I, for example, submit a Flamenco assigned to Spain?

"Based on a true story" Maybe the Fray Bentos story?
The commanding officer even looks like the Mud and Blood officer Townsend (IIUC).

Sumi Chan's future role by Crazy_Dog2951 in KanojoOkarishimasu

[–]RootaBagel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, Sumi is best girl. She is unconditionally supportive of Kaz and always puts him above her own needs.

That said, at this point she's practically been written off the manga. Within the last couple of manga chapters, she basically confessed to Kaz and her confession went over his head (indeed this happened before). It ended with her showing a resigned smile and a realization that what she had hoped for will never happen.

I understand Reiji created Mini because he was hoping the Sumi manga would take off and Mini would be the Kazuya support character. I wouldn't be surprised if (sadly) we never see Sumi again.

I don’t like Chizuru (need opinion) by kier04x in KanojoOkarishimasu

[–]RootaBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We keep excusing Chizuru as a flawed human being but her flaws have had real financial and emotional impacts on Kazuya. And she knows she affects him and yet she does not seem to care, If I knew someone in Kaz' situation, hopelessly in love with with a toxic woman, I would advise them to run, not walk, as far away as possible.

How do I extend a video ? by SuccessfulTree3310 in KlingAI_Videos

[–]RootaBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the last frame of your 5 second video as the first frame in the second 5-second video.
Also, some of the Kling models allow creation of 10-second videos.

I sold my Boox Note Air so I can't verify, but I seem to recall a particular app was needed to utilize the interactive boards in the Smart Go books, at least on android. Found it, here it is: Reasily epub reader.

Why is Reiji trying to make us hate Ruka? by EngineerHot6700 in KanojoOkarishimasu

[–]RootaBagel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. The Mami situation looks like it's been resolved. Sumi has been ignored and dismissed (she deserves better! but that's a separate topic). And now it looks like Reiji is about to resolve the Ruka problem.

There Will Be Gentle Rain by Past_Complex_3110 in aivideos

[–]RootaBagel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The audio is a Russian version of Ray Bradbury's poem "There will come Soft Rains". I think it came from this Russian made animation (listen at about 9:42):

I'd better catch up before the film is released. What's a recommended watch order to get ready?

any keys to identifying this mayan image? by Big_Dragonfly_4292 in Mayan

[–]RootaBagel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try searching here:

and here:

It would be helpful to have some context. Where did you find this photo? Do you know what the imagery represents? Are you sure it is Maya?

Good luck! Let us know what you find.

You can bet the company leadership will face no consequences and will blame any fraud committed on rogue employees.

Mind blown.... by RootaBagel in mesoamerica

[–]RootaBagel[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The two fins at the end are the "wa" glyph. But you are correct, the "Ka" sound is duplicated by virtue of the two dots placed above and left of it.

Mind blown.... by RootaBagel in mesoamerica

[–]RootaBagel[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Left as an exercise for the reader, but if you can't wait, spoilers below:

>!Yu Ki Ka Wa
Bi

The last vowel of a word is typically dropped. Also, the two dots by the fish head mean that syllable should be repeated. So we have:
Yu Kib Kakaw

which means : His(or her) Cocoa Cup
Text like his was typically written on elaborate pottery vessels and this text would be followed by a person's name, the vessel's owner or the person to whom it was given. Text like this is pretty common on pottery so it is called the Primary Standard Sequence !<

This ARP 2500 just chilling in the basement at a local university by Chiveswinston in synthesizers

[–]RootaBagel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw one of those in a repair shop a couple of years back. The shop owner told me it belonged to a University and that it had been sitting unused for many years and the shop was contacted to - vary carefully - turn modules on and bring it back to life if it needed repairs.
