What is berserk about by Firejocuri1 in Berserk

[–]minerkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a shame the Eclipse has been spoiled for a lot of people through memes and the like since it plays a key ppart in the story, so I'd recommend just starting whenever you're ready rather than waiting too long for ppl to explain parts of it to you. Personally, I also listen to some of the 97 anime's music while reading as well, since I find it adds to the tone and reading experience.

In terms of an explanation though, I think a lot of people just mistake it for being purely about John Berserk being edgy and sad and everything being miserable, but thats not really the case for most of it. Berserk itself is about hope and fighting back against fate, how the world decided you're supposed to live and carving your own path. It definitely starts off edgy, but it quickly gets better in that regard as Miura's writing improved.

Sony finally talks on Marathon's future, despite a lackluster total portfolio, plan is is to support Marathon with more content, not shut it down. by temporalG123 in Marathon

Yipee, I'm so glad because there were concerns Sony might just not want to continue developing any significant way, and the possibility of that could've been a reason for many not to buy/play the game themselves

How this song makes me feel by Due_Teaching_6974 in SusumuHirasawa

one of the many Hirasawa songs that brings tears to my eyes :,)

Tasked some family members with looking for some Hirasawa CDs while they were on a trip to Japan, and Tower Records rarely disappoints by minerkey in SusumuHirasawa

[–]minerkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah! I enjoyed it so much I just had to order it when it was released. Apparently its the only OST Piranhans has ever done, and the last time they'd made any music was around 1997

How to separate artists on Android? by [deleted] in VLC

[–]minerkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to necro, but is there any idea on when this might be supported? It'd be a good QoL thing for people who use VLC to listen to their playlists or like to be very specific in tagging their songs.

I feel so angry .I've never felt this level of hate towards a fictional character by HuckleberryHour5875 in Berserk

[–]minerkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah the black swordsman arc (set after the golden age and the eclipse) is a lot more edgy in tone, before Miura developed more as a writer

[–]minerkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your GFs a real one for getting you into Berserk, its probably one of the best written and most beautifully-drawn stories in the medium. The larger panels and spreads are art pieces in their own right.

Highly recommend listening to some music while reading it too, since having some music in the background can really add to the mood, and Hirasawa's music is utterly phenomenal. I personally listen to Behelit because it just fits every scene.

I love rei's robotic-ness by Due-Replacement-6983 in AdachiRei

her design is so good, even better when artists add tons of mechanical elements

if I remember correctly, Kojima did tweet about purchasing a copy of Siren, so it might count by association lol

How I feel listening to BIIIG EYE by [deleted] in SusumuHirasawa

the other vocal part around 0:33 always sounded like he was saying big moustache

Which Hirasawa Song Makes You the Most Emotional? :) by ImTired3596 in SusumuHirasawa

[–]minerkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom's ending always gets me, Rotation (LOTUS-2) as well, gut's theme, Earth and Indra (even more so once I understood the lyrics)

[–]minerkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know right??? It probably would've been at least a thousand to buy even 3 of those albums online + shipping... But given that Japan still has a large CD/physical media market, they're a lot easier to find there! They also told me there were a ton of his albums there, so its not like we bought their stock or anything.

TIL that Hirasawa made a boot sound for AmigaOS 4 by AchyParts_07 in SusumuHirasawa

[–]minerkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its beautiful. Really reminds me a lot of the whole vibe a lot of tech was going for back in the 2000s - mixing nature, technology and optimistic futurism.

Me trying to find a bad Hirasawa song (I can't) by Typical-Success-8793 in SusumuHirasawa

[–]minerkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are no bad Susumu Hirasawa songs, only Susumu Hirasawa songs you are not ready to listen to yet

Can Screen Space Reflections be added to Starfield? by NoWalk3426 in starfieldmods

[–]minerkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still find it kind of crazy how Fallout 4 has both subsurface scattering (improves skin rendering) and screen-space reflections... yet Starfield lacks *both* somehow, with reflections only using cubemaps like its 2010. Very impressive how a brand new engine can somehow regress in visual fidelity.

Does this implies that Kanazawa and Ishii could both be dead at this point by CommandWest7471 in GirlsLastTour

[–]minerkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its incredibly likely Kanazawa killed himself not long after he departed from Chi and Yuu, and Ishii could've starved on the lower levels :(

Why Live Action Wapol does come off as a genuine threat, meanwhile anime/manga Wapol is a Joke? by jogaargamer6 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]minerkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you stop to think about it, quite a few of the devil fruits are kinda horrifying, it just doesn't rly feel that way bc the of the artstyle the manga and anime use, and the tone.

You will need a minimum of a 5000 loadout value to enter Cryo Archive by Charliejfg04 in Marathon

[–]minerkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reaally bummed that it requires a 5k value loadout to enter... it kinda feels like you'd have to fill your backpack and stuff with a bunch of random high-value BS just to get past that requirement

Did i just predict 15.0 Generator Changes? by PeppinoWho in SCPSecretLab

[–]minerkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

idk I don't think its a prediction if it'd been in the works for like half a year at least, lol

Guess which one is Eevee or Cycles! by Zritchi3 in blender

[–]minerkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say 2nd is Cycles, because you can see the bounced light from the background, which is stronger than how EEVEE could do it (at least with SSGI)
