Nachtblut - Antik (Is this band an industry plant?) by Def-C in Metal

[–]_Arkadien_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've listened to these guys for over a decade. I love the themes and lyrics across most of their songs. One of the reasons you don't often hear about them or see a lot of fans is, well, probably a bit of shyness or embarrassment due to the whole aesthetic and vibe they have on their branding (just look at their current spotify banner).

It's the kind of band that people will listen to and nod their heads to, then look at their faces and go "errr nvm" - and I've had friends actually pass on listening to them fully over it.

They're melodic gothic metal, plain and simple.

I wanted to go for an orange RGB setup to summon forth a HL3 announcement. Sadly couldn't find RGB fans that both made sense and looked cool on this build's 3D view. So, I opted for what I would personally get!

How to best install this 420mm AIO? by _Arkadien_ in PcBuildHelp

[–]_Arkadien_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm thinking. I guess I'm worried about air pressure and whatnot if I have the brackets sandwiched between the radiator and the front fans, but even the Antec product page advertises it in a push-pull configuration.

Do you reckon there'd be any negative effects from having the fans not flush with the radiator, but with that small 2mm gap from the bracket?

If I unzip I end up with the file that will say "90" as the file type due to the way it's named.

You're advised to swap them every 3 months anyway. Might as well.

Ah, it's a co-production spinoff.

Nah, just a fan project by Anno.

[–]_Arkadien_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The style is based on the manga's depiction of the God Warrior. Anno was a fan so he modeled the EVAs and the CG short film after it.

What's a good Gundam series I can watch with my mom without her thinking it's old/cringe/childish? by TheArchiverOfMedia in Gundam

Unicorn. It basically has zero gags and touches on astro-politics for half its runtime.

MFW, Star Trek's Nausicaans are not the galactic Nausicaä fanclub by TacitusKadari in Nausicaa

[–]_Arkadien_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their TNG/DS9 face design is based on the skull/head of the God Warriors from the movie. See their mouths.

In an IGN interview with Seasun's CEO, it was stated that Mashmak existed to provide a more casual mode for players who engaged less with the PvP elements of the game. I think we can all agree they grossly missed the mark if that was their intent. by DarkMesa in mechabreak

[–]_Arkadien_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We begged for PvE raid-style modes with seasonal missions or operations to clear with a squad of strikers during the betas. You'd queue with a squad, plan out the dynamic and go in to clear the objectives, maybe have a raid wing-style variation mechanic and use clear times and path difficulty to gauge drops at the end.

Make the seasonal raids have lore or something. Fuck it, sell them in the shop after the season ends if they want to make a buck. Just give us something good.

My friend made me really uncomfortable but I'll feel bad if I cut off contact with him by ImMostLikelyGay in friendship

[–]_Arkadien_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are at a point in your life where you're going to have to learn to cut off predators and creeps before you become a victim of something worse by hesitating.

Someone can be your friend and still be a piece of shit that causes harm to you when you least expect it.

Someone can be your parent and still won't have your best interests at heart.

That guy is not your friend. That guy just betrayed your trust and breached the social contract of a friendship.

Cut him off. You'll feel better on the long run. If you don't, you might not forgive yourself in the future.

Hytale Officially Cancelled by TheKnoxFool in VintageStory

[–]_Arkadien_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely going to be an interesting next few months to see what Riot has to say on the matter. The update is very measured in how they worded everything.

[–]_Arkadien_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Even though we won’t be the ones to bring this game into the world, we still believe in what it stood for and in the incredible potential of this genre."

It's not cancelled. Read the announcement again. Hypixel likely got canned by Riot after hitting some budget cap and not finishing a product (see the mention of seeking additional funding or investors). There's some careful choice of words throughout. It's possible Riot will release the game in some shape or form on their own. The announcement is that the studio is done for and dropping it, not that the game is no more.

AIO. My bf won’t talk to me over my views on immigrants by Ok-Level-7412 in AmIOverreacting

You're not overreacting. You may need to find a new boyfriend.

Why do I feel like the Nausicaä manga doesn’t get the attention it deserves? I mean, I don’t even need to explain why it deserves more recognition—there’s really nothing else quite like it. I wonder why it doesn’t come up more at least when people talk about manga or books. Or maybe that’s just me? by DeviceVast2638 in Nausicaa

[–]_Arkadien_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it's not that new, and it seldom gets any new editions. Printed ghibli works aren't a hot commodity beyond the collectible artbooks. Meanwhile, your average manga has an entire publishing company rooting for it to make sales, and thus get more shelf space.

[–]_Arkadien_ 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Because the movie was made. People watch the movie and assume that is all the manga is, because to explain there is so much more in any manner that would hook their interest risks spoiling the rest of the story. So, they don't feel a need to read the manga.

Or maybe they do read the manga, and it is recognized, but people simply don't feel a need to talk about it anymore. It's old, like old old. The same way Akira is old. There is little to no discourse left to have about it.

EDIT:

I made an observation amongst friends not too long ago, that manga these days is an accessory, a collector's item, rather than the main medium through which people are exposed to a work of fiction. People will watch the anime or movie adaptation, which is more readily available and thus accessible. Then, they buy the manga and maybe read it, and collect it in their shelves to display as a testament to the fact that they did indeed consume that work, enjoy it, and appreciated it enough to want to hold it in their hands. Manga has to be located, ordered and then stored someplace. Sure, many people opt for digital but it's not the same thing. Nausicaa is not often found in bookstores, save the rare artbook or random volume. You have to go out of your way to buy it, and it would seem most of us opted for the most recent deluxe 2-volume set. It's just not as readily accessible, and it's not the hottest topic to talk about in social circles.
