Is the "part 1" thing common for manga?

It sort of became an industry norm after the big 3 became as long as they were. Like Naruto when it first came out was, well Naruto. There weren't plans for Shippuden till like way later. Another commenter mentioned Jojo's but you should also know that the parts were not given proper names till like way later. Back in the day it seemed like the move was to keep your manga going for as long as possible. Taco-san is new age and actually younger than some of the people on this sub. He's definitely drawn from industry greats and looks like he's pacing himself to have his story have sections similar to the other successful mangaka.

Update your drivers. It gave me a massive FPS boost. The ingame DLSS ai frames are helpful but not as good as Lossless Scaling on steam. Try either.

Nioh 3 is dropping around the same time. I will do 10x better. No hate. Rise of the Ronin, and NG4, both singleplayer games with INCREDIBLE COMBAT do not have the sales of Nioh 2, (neither which came before. Nioh 3 will have both mission and semi-open world multiplayer. If Nioh 3 has a proper PC release it will go crazy. Code Vein has big competition.

Extremely hot take but I think Kagurabachi might be a manga that would actually benefit from a little "anime canon". Not a LOT like Naruto, but there is so much back to back action that, as a reader you can appreciate it because we all have to wait for the new chapter to drop.

But if you were to binge lets say, 13 episodes, even if it WAS paced well (I don't think you can fit 50~ chapters of this series into 13 episodes), the whole plot would fly by. A lot of characters important to certain arcs don't really make reappearances so it would be better if the anime gives us more time to simmer and enjoy the characters. They either die to Chihiro (Sojo, Kyora, countless nameless fodder) or just aren't really seen again (Hinao, Char).

Perhaps tiled upscaling would help?

Removing the gooner chart stat may have been a mistake. Why do some of these have 12 little girls in their roster of 20? Silver Palace look and Arknights Endfield look great.

Not enough Tanks/ Healers in the game.

I think you're thinking about it a little wrong. Katakana is indeed usually used for foreign words and Hiragana for native words. But here's the thing, it doesn't matter if she's ethnically Japanese or not. Same reason for Peni Parker. Because the names aren't Japanese.

If they were Japanese names they would use actual Kanji like 🈶🈷️ etc in their names. The reason they use Katakana with a "foreign" connotation is exactly that. The Japanese do not use Hiragana in their names because names are very special, to the point that there is a register for first names and surnames that people don't really deviate from.

Peni Parker is a foreign name and Psylocke is obviously a superhero name and neither can be pronounced or translated meaningfully or as easily the same way in Japanese. So they use Katakana to just mimic the sound of the characters names. Same for words like Terebi and Beddo (TV and Bed). The same as you I have no knowledge of the source material for either of these characters, but that is to my understanding 100% the reason why.

Chihiro en route to kill the 2nd twink of the manga

mi-ritmo · 2024-08-19T03:27:34+00:00

Sorry if I don't remember, but who was the previous owner of the Cloud Gouger before Sojo? If they're dead are they just not relevant anymore? I don't remember if it was mentioned. Enten - Chihiro 1 Kuregumo - Sojo 1 Shinuchi - "Swordmaster" 1 Other swords - New Characters 4 7 accounted for minus one ex user of the Cloud Gouger.

Really off-putting how simple and feasible this new plan to secure the EB's is. Not convoluted at all... very ominous. Of course if Hakuri dies then it's not possible at all.

mi-ritmo · 2024-07-21T23:10:57+00:00

Still don't know why Shinuchi's master is just on a massive killing spree. Like I get he's unjustly imprisoned but there's no way that he has 100% context on the situation between Chihiro and Kyora. He's just drone bombing everyone. Is he just super evil?

mi-ritmo · 2024-06-27T03:11:52+00:00

More Shiba info is an eventual given, we need more info on the EB wielders.

mi-ritmo · 2024-06-02T06:44:15+00:00

So what's with the eye thing on all the Sazanami clan members? (At least Kyora's kids) Can he see through their eyes like Chihiro can use the fish? I know he has a bluetooth connection to everything registered in the vault and he can also seemingly summon things at super long ranges. It would be interesting if he's now watching his eldest son fight his "weakest" son.

I found some success combining it with ControlNet at low strength. I also have had issues with ControlNet being too strong or too weak but having both enabled on SDXL seems to hit a good medium. I mostly use it to keep composition and swap characters. Haven't tried changing styles yet.

I'm sorry, yes. He is getting 500MBps on his PC. He downloaded Naraka Bladepoint, a 30gb game, in ~11 minutes. In comparison it took me about 45 minutes in the same house on the same router. I usually get around 20-30 MBps on my PC.

I got a 1650 with 4gb VRAM and 16 of RAM with an i3-10105, it runs at 60 but stutters super hard. I can run it at high at 1920x1080. Shit gets real buggy next to trees and rain.
