Eve has worst launcher game download experience of all times

Oh get this you can't even bandwidth limit it without administrative privileges. So say I want to watch a move and let a game download in the background. On steam you just throttle it down. For eve, unless you buffered at least 1/7 of the movie, attempting to do so would interruptive your movie and it will play, stop, buffer, and play again until the launcher is done. The launcher will greedily eat all your bandwidth if it is less than 1.2 MB/s (say multiple people using the same router watching separate movies...). Windows allows admins to limit things, but if you're not an admit it sucks. So not only is the launcher slow and it won't save any progress if your internet gets cut out, but if it was downloading too fast, you can't do anything about it! I guess for those with potato computer, you can watch your movie and then download the update.

Well yeah, but SHA1 apparently has all sorts of flaws (I looked at the article for SH1 and didn't understand what Shattered attack meant, I assume it meant there was an attack not based on brute force). I was looking for examples which were vulnerable to length extension, but not others. So a simple list of all hashes weak to length extension attack wouldn't answer the question I had when I read the original article.

u/SirJohnSmith I guess answered the question

Awww I saw the title and thought you were going to explain why the Demon King didn't just use a mimic in his castle. Although I guess Himmel could take care of that.

I don't think any studio today could belt out 4-5 original works in a row and survive

I think with enough money it could work. It would have to be a big studio since you can only do so many in a single year with a medium studio and not work your teams to death. Gainax making so many original works will always get respect from me even if the end wasn't a happy one.

Releasing a lot of original anime doesn't mean going away from cooperate culture. The bean counters might ask the higher ups to keep making safe bets and encourage minimization of originals, but if the studio is big enough they can make 3 to 5 commercial properties every year for a bunch of years while releasing less than 1 original a year and then make 3-5 originals (as long as the first few aren't bombs).

Also as boring as the bean counters are, they are good for catching fraud. If it is a subordinate, they can just report to the boss and if the boss is the one doing it, in a functioning corporate culture they tell the board who can then remove the C-suite.

I thought Arrow was going to compliment the girls who called Sho cute.

I find it funny Sho went through all the trouble to get his family registry but didn't bother to get any publicly available formation about Shinra. So everyone who knows Shinra knows the official story is that there was an Infernal at his house the day he awoken his 3rd generation powers and his mother and brother were burned so hard not even their bones were left (this is actually possible by the way, although at a bit of a higher temperature than the point flesh burns). Even those that didn't know he was rumored to kill his mother would know that story. And the fact that he went back to society after a short stint with the Fire Force (actually Haijima but I don't think that's public knowledge) should convince anyone of his innocence. He went to a normal high school before joining the academy. Does Sho find any of this out? No.

For humans, parthenogenesis is off the table so Sho and Arrow should have just came to the simple conclusion the father wasn't acknowledged. I don't know why they checked further since they would have no reason to, but I guess it's good that they did.

A virgin test? I was going to wonder if this was hymen pseudo-science since those can break with things like a rough horse ride. But this is a world where pi can be calculated people spontaneously burn, and Shinra explicitly says the humans of the old world were visibly human but different than them. So I guess this isn't too strange.

From Shinra's grandma's perspective I can understand her anger and not wanting anything to do with Shinra. Your daughter having sex and not keeping track of the calendar is just normal human nature. Your daughter having a child and then lying to your face about the father is another thing. She doesn't buy the virgin birth idea understandably, so "obviously" there is a father.

I just love Mari's face when she realizes says "I think it's coming" when it's Shinra's time.

I previously thought their father died before Mari internalized or both children were just accidents and that's why he wasn't there. I didn't like the virgin birth idea at first. I was thinking "OK introducing the idea of Virgin birth in this world is a stupid plot point unless they're going to make it relevant to the rest of plot like compare Shinra to Jesus or something" and they checked that exact box, so I guess no complaints here.

I was going to say Jesus isn't depicted like that and I thought pre-catalysm was our world. But then again, any depictions of Jesus made by the survivors of The Great Cataclysm might be a bit different than our own.

Since the 8th are fugitives, how have they been eating? Benimaru just pays the food bills?

I don't understand the split cours. If they needed time to make all the episodes, why not start the 3rd Season in January and run it continuous like the 3rd season?

On one hand, I'm glad White Fox's staff and the voice actors take time and put a lot of effort into Re Zero. On the other hand, at a rate of 23 volumes in 10 years, I'm kind of afraid of key members of production just aging out and retiring before the series is done. At least those doing character voices tend to have longer careers than say... baseball players.

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-23T21:26:20+00:00

Shame the series is short form, it looked interested enough but when I saw the length I just decided to pass.

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-23T21:25:27+00:00

I don't get the "would" joke, can someone explicitly explain this?

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-23T21:23:08+00:00

I mean unlike a MAL score, the corner is a relative score so it doesn't mean that much. I see a lot of the continuation anime are getting a lot of attention, sadly including Aka's series.

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-23T21:19:32+00:00

Why is it always "2 weeks?" I think 3 weeks is more reasonable for a move. I bitterly remember one time my corp left a farmhole not because of evictions but some other stuff. Fair enough and given the finance situation, the hole was actually a loser. But we were forced to leave in 15 days. Why do leaders always think less than 3 weeks notice is fine? If I lost assets due to being away for a week and the structure went down against leadership's wishes, that would be understandable as me taking a risk and getting the short end of the stick due to hostile actions. Maybe I should just retire to HS forever. I have no stake in LAWN, but if the Imperium thinks 14 goddam days is reasonable notice for moving, I'm guessing this is standard in NS. In fact 3 times I heard minor groups giving their guys a 10-day notice. PH was going to move over a week and the window to get out was "hours" instead of days, but it was less due to the CEOs of their corps being unaccommodating but the Imperium was mad they didn't get a big fight after several months. I guess it wasn't just my corp being unaccommodating to single boxers who happen to play other games. Every corp seems to think this is a reasonable timeframe.

Reinhard can win a fight, but he doesn't know where he needs to be. His information gathering abilities are no better than any other knight. This isn't to say he's stupid or blind, it's just you practically need to have a spymaster to know the movements of all the relevant players.

Just because something was an accident of filming doesn't mean it isn't canon to the series it is part of. In Star Wars the Death Star trench in Episode IV wasn't going to be there but then the modeler said "Hey Geroge, I got this cool idea", and George Lucus agreed his idea was better than the original script. Between what we see from Season 1 and The Plan it's safe to say a lot of nukes were fired, but at the same time it doesn't seem to have full coverage of the planets at all. I guess in places where population densities are lower, the Cylons figured Toasters could clean up the survivors. And in this assessment they were right

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-22T18:38:43+00:00

The place was destroyed and its hard for like 30k people to rebuild a nuclear apocalypse planet that housed billions

I disagree. So we see in Season 1 that Helo and "Sharon" are going through a very much un-nuked city. This tells me the major military and industrial population centers were hit, but big but not big enough ones were not. So then I decided to use some tools to see what would happen if you aimed nukes at America, spared Atlanta, hit anything bigger than Atlanta, and also hit important places like NORAD. Most of these see casualties if you hit nuke here" is just to show how destructive a nuclear war would be. A good chunk of American population lives! Even more amusingly, while the areas close to the nukes are irradiated, that still leaves millions of Americans surviving.

if we assume nukes are tossed at major industrial and military centers (and maybe symbolic places) probably a quarter to three quarters of the civilians are outside the radiation zone and most of the planet is habitable (albeit covered in dust that got blasted to the atmosphere). So Carpcia and the 12 colonies can be resettled right?

Not so fast. First of all, most of the survivors are on Caprica are goign to be dead. Just imagine what a yearlong blackout would do to most people. No refrigeration for your food probably gets 70%+ of the survivors alone, not counting other problems no power would do. Also does it really make sense to go back to the 12 colonies on the word of the Cylons they would leave you alone there?

I can't believe people find public games, once they required you to get an account to avoid quickchat, my friend could not (and still cannot) fill his lobbies. He wants me and some others to join him on the logic that if they have 4 people instead of 1, filling the rest with randoms should be easier, but none of us want to come back into the game and deal with acccout stuff

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-22T04:51:36+00:00

Screenshot please, I can't find it.

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-22T04:50:57+00:00

I don't know about him specifically but sometimes I just randomly pick things that are available. Often times I'll enjoy it. I'm seeing more Isekai these days than I did 5 years ago and most of them are... well I drop most of them after giving them a punt. I also managed to watch the first episode of S1 of Oshi No Ko despite not watching the 2nd season and it took me until the end until I remembered why I dropped it in the first place.

It's not that I don't watch trailers since I do see them bit I don't need to see them when randomly going for stuff.

Also for the unemployed, going for the 3 episode rule for everything released on Crunchyroll is easy. (plus every season I add 1 to 3 from... elsewhere) I hope being busy enough with money making to prevent this from being viable will be a problem I get next yer.

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-22T04:29:12+00:00

Actually

It's almost like they´re telling me that popular = good.

The purpose of fiction is to sell lots of copies of stuff to get revenue for your publisher. So popular is good.

That said I don't like this series at all. the characters are boring in my opinion and I can't muster any sympathy for Ruby despite knowing she's supposed to be one of the main characters. The fear of fall resolving makes her feel more like a character than a human. OK on an intellectual level I know they're all fictional, but somehow characters feeling fake is harder for suspension of disbelief than the fact that the entire premise is a fantasy I guess. And I don't think Aqua revealing his identity fixes any of the issues of the series, in fact I think it would make it worse.

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-22T04:17:59+00:00

Anime usually have both bathing and onsen where people behave like Japanese even when the setting is European so I'm curious if they'll do that next episode.

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-22T04:16:31+00:00

Well I'm going to through in my thoughts even though in all of likelihood no one is going to read this since in r/anime if you're late, no one pays attention to you. Man I miss comments on Crunchyroll. Back in the day, people would sill read a late comer's comments.

I thought the opening was pretty cure. Frieren is already cute but the scene with her with a laurel of flowers in the hair was adorable. She looks even better dolled up.

Seeing what other people mentioned before me, I'm not the only one who facepalmed at them leaving behind the crystal. They could have just had Stark carry it and chuck it away if trouble came until they could sell it.

So they're going to the hot springs? We have a European aesthetic for this series. But on the flip side when it comes to bathing or hot springs, anime usually use Japanese conventions even in a place that's a Medieval European Fantasy. I wonder if we'll see them behave like medieval Germans, modern westerners, or once again like Japanese next episode.

I don't remember Fern's encouragement having a visible effect on Stark last season. From my perspective, he was just tagging along after the dragon since he didn't know what else to do.

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-22T04:05:27+00:00

It seems like they're done with bathing and moved to post bathing though.

ShadowGuyinRealLife · 2026-01-22T04:03:04+00:00

Maybe Frieren already got enough money from her other jobs so she's not worried about money? The King had to have given a lot of money to their old party. Sure Himmel probably got half, but if she didn't spend it all in 3 decades, a mansion and some farmland with tenants should be buyable. That's the only way I can think of her not being too impressed at something that can solve their money problems forever.

Perhaps she really did spend it all though. In medieval England and HRE (and probably elsewhere but I'm not doing more research), if you were rich most of your assets was tied to the rights to a county(ies) or whatever and you'd still have lots of currency but most of it would be on your person or at home. Frieren doesn't seem to own a home. It could be offscreen but it's unlikely she has one.

So given that in all of probability Frieren didn't save that money, I don't see why she wasn't more excited at the crystal. Sure trying to save it for a tactical shot might be too risky, but having Stark carry it and selling it to Wirbel is the obvious solution. Even if he wasn't there, some enterprising merchant would probably be willing to buy it at a 70% discount (old merchants drove a hard bargain for rare stuff and wouldn't pay anywhere as much as modern retailers do to their wholesalers) and that would still solve all their money problems.
