  • I've got to go think about it for a second, and then I get to realize what it meant.

  • I almost ate the onion here. I thought it's the band who wrote the paper they submitted for peer review—and which they put into practice via their music.

    Something like a polyrhythmic approximations to Pi where the music's time signature started off as 3/1, then 22/7, and then 333/106 etc.

    IDK, I'm neither a music nor a maths guy.


    EDIT:

    A word.

  • I got <first_name_initial><middle_name_initial><last_name>@gmail.com in imitation of my university webmail account name. My brother who had the same first name and middle name initials knew this and had adjusted accordingly.

    However, recently, someone registered this e-mail for school and I kept receiving their school e-mails.

    My e-mail account is already roughly two decades old at this point, so I thought I was safe from this kind of problem.

  • I'm not really this person but I've often been told I am too comfortable with people to be an introvert.

    I can attest to this though. Even if I'm not front and center of a social gathering, it's still incredibly draining to me, and would take a few days to recharge. Even longer if I've got to be in charge and be front and center (takes a few weeks to recharge from that).

    I think it's a difference between what is natural (being alone, recharging, etc.) and what is forced (being front and center in a crowd). Being an introvert doesn't mean you can't learn being comfortable being front and center in a crowd. As you've said, it's a matter of how you gain energy and what mode you're most at home with.

  • I remember making an essay about how Boxxo had some issues he had to deal with first, and how I am looking forward to the anime showing him dealing with those issues with the help of Huelmy, Lammis, Michael (who seems to be the most well-adjusted guy in the group--if it weren't for his speaking hang-ups), and the others.

    I remember noting that Boxxo doesn't even mind remaining a vending machine forever, and likely doesn't even want to turn back to being a human. And that not getting telepathy is a sign of this.

  • No...? But I did the math correctly, and for a certain interpretation of "attend", I am a day too late.

  • Not really. I tend to operate on a "don't ask, don't tell" basis when it comes to my origins.

    it is less of shame and more of an opsec thing.

  • The thing is, I was thinking it's actually real--not satire, but tone-deaf "poverty roleplaying" performative "see? I know what the poors are experiencing" kind of thing.

    That this wasn't even limited to this internet age, that this had precedence back in the gilded age: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/04/poverty-party-invitations-from-the-gilded-age.html

    I've heard of such a thing also during the Great Depression, where rich socialites threw "poverty parties" while there's actual hunger everywhere else.

  • International Agape, I guess? Love will save the world and all that shit.

  • Same! I was thinking someone was thinking: “oh, those guests might want to experience the Real Amazon™ experience!”

  • Relocated as soon as I can after the announcement. The only ones (of mine) coming down with the ee ship are my posts and comments--probably.

  • Thanks for the information.

    I am not so much concerned as the usability of the Hepburn romanization as it's survived the test of time, but if I am remembering it correctly, Kunrei-shiki was chosen because of this one-to-one lossless transcription between the Japanese kana and the transcription. Hence, I was wondering if this is still a concern, and whether or not there are steps to address this if ever this is still a concern.

  • Might there be efforts to address some of the issues surrounding the Hepburn romanization when it comes information loss especially when there's a kana → romanization → kana roundtrip?

    For example:

    • ジ ⇒ ji
    • ヂ ⇒ ji
    • ji ⇒ ジ (?)
  • Hellnight/Dark Messiah

    It's a relatively obscure PS1 game in the horror genre.

    The main thing that made it relatively unique among the horror game of the PS1 era is its lack of action mechanics. It’s essentially a horror dungeon crawler without action mechanics. You can run away or sneak past the invincible enemy, or if you gain a companion, the enemy kills your companion allowing you to run away when caught.

    It is pretty different from the other horror games from the PS1 era, which made it relatively disappointing for those expecting it to be similar to the likes of Resident Evil or even Silent Hill.

  • I've played Tactics Ogre after I've read some accounts of it being described as FFT's spiritual successor, but I must admit I never finished it--not because of the gameplay which is suprisingly deep for its time, but because of my own perfectionism. I didn't let myself just play the game without any guides or overthinking, instead went full "I want the perfect gamesave".|

    But yes! what you said is true. FFT is a more accessible successor to Tactics Ogre.

  • No cakes in this account (2025 Jun 4).

    And I never caught my other accounts' cake days (2023 June 6, 2023 July 4, 2023 August 15). Was only reminded of that due to this post's OP image.

  • Huh, that's not a browser, but I'll take a look at it nonetheless. I am currently using Alexandrite as a browser frontend though. But thanks!

    (In terms of this survey, IDK where‌ browser frontends should be placed, I am not sure if it should be here or its own top-level category)
