@TiagoNugent I've seen a lot in, let's just say the covid onwards years, people who think that lack of flashbacks = lack of backstory. Any time your character understanding is reliant on you paying attention to their situation, their dress, their housing etc. they are baffled.

we DO get backstory though. He has a doctorate in molecular biology, wrote a paper calling everyone in his field idiots for believing that water was necessary for life and got shunned, and became a middle school science teacher because he's a coward.

one of my favorite elements of Project Hail Mary is that Ryland Grace is basically just a guy we really don’t get a backstory, a failed relationship mentioned no flashbacks, just sort of a drop-in-and-start-playing audience surrogate gives it a “classic blockbuster” kinda vibe

@DoctorDazza Do reporters always call them "Pokémon Character Shop", even when the news is positive? Or just when bad things happen there?

There are some front page VNDB entries that i have NEVER heard people talk about on here at all. Maybe Im just blind but my guess is that they were super popular back in the day and have since lost lots of the popularity. Especially since they all got relatively old translations

@Geecube3 @DylanMcD8 neither Apple or Google choose what emojis get created. Its by a completely separate org (unicode consortium). They also choose what letters/languages get added. Apple and Google just follow the specs that they release

@Real_Kilometers Interesting article. I had no idea they were that big. I wonder how their stats compared to kissanime before the original shut down

it's kind of hard to overstate how big hianime was it's been funny to see various hianime mods/staff say each new offshoot that's come up in the days since is a "fake" version of their bootleg site (from the article version of this thread animebythenumbers.substack.com/p/rip-hianime)

Miles | Anime by the Numbers@Real_Kilometers

HiAnime is dead, so here's a few important pieces of context to remember: 1. It was the biggest bootleg anime platform in the States, accounting for ~15% of all anime piracy with ~4M US monthly users per White Box analysis. 2. It was a for-profit outlet. That was its purpose. It made the people running it a *lot* of money. It was not helpful for media preservation. 3. Many cite accessing unlicensed/unavailable anime as a key benefit, but that represented less than 1% of US viewership per White Box. The most popular titles on HiAnime were broadly the most broadly available. 4. That said, a slight majority of people who used HiAnime also used legit outlets for anime as well, which showed that many people used it to "fill gaps" or because they didn't know where to watch a certain series. 5. Most of the subtitles (90%+) were not "fansubs" but rips of the official subtitles. When it was a fansub, they were ripped from the fansub group and monetized, which isn't really any better IMO. 6. The hydra head is real, and there are plenty of other outlets for piracy. That said, whenever the top pirate site goes down, some % switch to legal services, which goes back to fund the industry. Most anime revenue comes from overseas these days, and streaming revenue is the biggest driver of overseas revenue. Every view counts! 7. No one is "wrong" or bad or anything for having used these kinds of sites, particularly if they have no other means to do so. However, if you have no other option, I'd strongly encourage you to seek out venues that don't directly finance the people exploiting anime against the wishes of the creators. Even with ad-block, you're providing economic incentives for bootleggers by using these sites. I'd recommend learning about torrenting instead.

@mantis_bunny @AnAverageGamerX IMO another reason it was clowned on was that Nintendo showed people using it on their legs when sitting on a couch, which doesn't work well in real life

@AnAverageGamerX when you see the amount of people who have switch 2 as part of their desk setup then it makes mouse mode even more attractive imo. it got clowned so much at launch but it's getting utilised way more than people expected

Always makes me laugh seeing people tell people to gatekeep nyaa like it isn't insanely popular It works well, but there's a million forks and several alternatives. If you want the lesser known stuff you should be using a private tracker.

@BoundaryBreak Could they dither with the holes smaller then a pixel? When it gets rendered and output to a screen, it would look just like transparency
