    General Politics Thread

    Away from the all-consuming politics of South Canada in the non-disintegrating and still globally relevant nation state of Canada proper, has anybody else noticed that wannabe canuck-in-chief Pierre Poilievre looks like somebody fed a picture of Michael Gove into an AI image generator and...

    Rate the last anime you watched out of 10

    Personally, I would indeed say 'no' but speaking as someone who was almost immediately hooked that's a bit of a tough call to make. Having another look through that thread as well to remind myself exactly what happens when (and recognising that episode 4 is probably the worst episode of the...

    Rate the last anime you watched out of 10

    I'm glad you got something out of it (and that it means I don't have to write a 2000 word essay response) but I actually think it's a shame you weren't involved. It's good to hear different perspectives and it doesn't bring me down in the slightest, for my money it's all more fodder for...

    Oof. I can't summon much of a response to that right now, but I do have 23 pages of light reading for ya if you find yourself missing my posts, Vash.

    The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

    Are... are frame rate fluctuations like that not normal for console gamers? [laughs nervously in PC] It's playable enough for me. In interiors I'm getting like 110+ fps but in the open world it ranges between about 47-63, which is pretty normal for a modern Bethesda game. Fallout 4 still plays...

    The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

    Oh boy, you appear to be correct. That "ground-up rebuilding" phrase I'd internalised was just referencing the graphics. Looks like Gamebryo bugs are back on the menu after all. Plugging another engine's code into Unreal is actually a thing, yeah. The GTA Trilogy remaster did something similar...

    The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

    Well technically speaking it isn't really, it's been developed by Virtuos and they've rebuilt it from the ground up in UE5. So it's finally time to say goodbye to the Gamebryo/Creation Engine and its near 30 year old jank/charm and hello to TAA with built in motion blur via monitor ghosting that...

    The General Conversation Area

    Hello AUKN, it's been a while (though I don't think three months counts as my longest absence). To say 2025 has not been kind would be a bit of an understatement. On previous occasions when life has been kicking me repeatedly in the balls I've tended to stay quiet until things pick up since my...

    An Angel Passing By: Haibane Renmei Simulwatch - ep 05 29/12

    Episode 1 - I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe Geez, I didn't realise quite how difficult it was going to be to talk about Haibane on an episode-by-episode basis with foreknowledge of what's to come, but I'll do my best. It has been quite some time since I've seen it...

    What did you BUY today?

    @Shadow Cat bizarrely that's not even the strangest inappropriate tagging I've seen today. I was recommended the following games in the Steam sale "Due to your recent playtime in other Sexual Content games" iRacing Assetto Corsa Competizione I suppose certain car designs could possibly be...

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    The thing is, CR doesn’t really have a monopoly as far as anime is concerned because (perhaps unlike your average Netflix or Disney+ subscriber) I think the average anime fan is probably a lot more net savvy and capable of obtaining anime via other means. The kind that don’t cost them anything...

    Holiday 24 Simulwatch - Choose Your Fighter

    Damn, you’re right. The only place it seems to be available for streaming now is bloody Apple TV and I think they only have about three subscribers worldwide. That’s not a problem for me since I have the discs (and a uh, digital backup of the discs I can travel with over Christmas on my laptop)...

    Holiday 24 Simulwatch - Choose Your Fighter

    Have to say I'm a bit surprised by the popularity of Haibane, . It really seemed from the other thread like Fujiko was the popular choice . Thanks for setting this up Prof, hope all four of you who voted for Haibane join in with the simulwatch!

    Manga Volumes to buy at bargain prices

    afaik the re-release of GSC is still on schedule for February, probably not worth paying over the odds for second hand copies now. ... Are those Strawberry Marshmallow volumes really worth that much? I mean I like Strawberry Marshmallow, I like it a whole lot, but I'm not sure I like it enough...

    How were you thinking of formatting it, like an “I’m planning on watching x this week if anyone else wants to join in” kind of deal?
