- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 2 weeks ago:
At least none of the people I personally knew played it wanted to play it. Might be due to the marking though. I really enjoyed it, it played like GTA with fighting mechanics similar to Batman Arkham Asylum etc and I also thought the story was pretty neat

I understand. However, I’ve had very similar experiences with industrial cameras and sensors in a research setup.
Taking snapshots was ok, once you had setup everything (it only worked with GigE Network cards supporting jumbo packets and some other specific settings) and used their “acquisition” software (which could be automated). However, triggering multiple cameras at once at the exact same time was a similar experiences with additional trigger lines and multiple discussions with the manufacturers application engineers.
Even worse where non standard sensors line photosynthesis sensors or other industrial sensors used in a non standard setup. For the lidar I also had to read their hundreds of pages long documentation of their serial interface but send it via TCP in special packets which had almost no documentation. Depending on the command the byte order also had to be swapped which was not documented at all and I had to find it by trial and error.
For a different laser sensor that produces point clouds there was a simple interface to get preprocessed images but we wanted the raw point cloud data which also required to download the files from an on-device FTP server which also required so some guess work.
Later I worked in industrial settings with PLCs and these guys sometimes also go overboard with complex setups (I’m looking at you, Siemens RFID reader…)
So I’m not sure if it’s the military grade that makes it such an experience. Industrial grade seems like a similar experience. I guess a lot of consumer devices also do shit like that under the hood but hide it in firmware and drivers.

- Comment on Paramount+ Serves Up Bizarre AI Slop Thumbnail For Star Trek 3 weeks ago:
I’ve seen an AI slop thumbnail that made me laugh hard. It wasn’t on Paramount, it was a weird movie streaming channel and they had a movie about the assassination of JFK. The thumbnail was a sniper on a roof, pointing his gun at a parade and the sniper had… the face of JFK himself.

Sorry for my reaction, I wasn’t thinking right.
- Comment on Anon is a paramedic 3 weeks ago:
It’s very specific (not parents losing children), repeated twice (green and white text). I’m a father of a daughter. The thought of something happening to her made me not think right and write it.
- Comment on Anon is a paramedic 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but the green text said something like: “There is no better food in the world than pancakes”
It was super specific. Why not “a parent losing their child”?
You are right to call me out but as a father of a daughter I felt a bit attacked and just thinking about the combination of her and suicide made me not think right. I’m sorry.

Interesting. I have to say these are nuaces I never really focussed on so I didn’t notice any differences there. I’m in my 40s now and I started watching Anime in the 90s. So there was this stuff on public TV like “Mila Superstar”, “Sailor Moon” and some football and racing shows and the rest I had to get from friends or video rental. There I focussed on SciFi and Fantasy extreme stuff (super violent, scary or pornographic). I’d say there where some masterpieces like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion, Berserk, Patlabor, Lupin the 3rd, Memories, Spriggan and many more. Later, I guess in the early 2000s there was Dragonball and Dragonball Z on public TV, wich I liked. Then with access to the internet I discovered more stuff like Death Note, Cromartie High, Samuari Champloo which had a completely different vibe etc.
Well, long story short: I never really cared for those more “social” and school related animes which I guess have been there a long time so I didn’t notice any shifts there. Some of the animes I watched had a school theme but that part always just confused me (e.g. Spriggan), I guess school in Japan is very different.
I think there have always been “cheap” animes which where mostly there to sell merchandise and toys but that was not what you meant. What really pissed me off was the early shift to 3d rendering which made a lot of interesting anime completely unwatchable for me.
Regarding the “bonkers stuff” I actually feel there is more available now. I don’t use Crunchyroll but there seem to be lot’s of shows like “what if you reincarnated as a vending machine in a mediaval fantasy city?”, “what if you reincarnated as an intergalactic emperor”.
