@Gallifreyan just wondering, does handholding every post shounen ai/yaoi stuff? just wondering if hand holding is a unique realm for shoujo ai/yuri

CrystalDiskMark Shizuku Edition
 
@Mysticial new skin?
 
No idea. I need to find out.
Wasn't hard to find it...
Now this is how you do software development:
 
@Mysticial yes, all programming needs to follow this

ohayou
 
@Proxy K-On ichiwa
 
nice one :D
 
@Proxy thanks, was actually waiting for someone to come with in with so i could use it
 
even better
i got donkey kong yesterday instead of last firday
and it is a hard game
 
@Proxy is it a modern platformed?
i hear that people found the remake oif Crash Bandicoot harder because being made inot a modern platformed meant the hit boxes were tighter
(ie. in older platforms you could see yourself almost hovering off the edge)
 
5:58 AM
i am not sure what did you mean by modern platform?
maybe i am just bad at games now
but on the first one i had to adjust to the controls a bit
 
@Memor-X Fun fact: you could on Win7-Win8.1 IIRC. You can also do it yourself with CSS in a lot of Linux distros. (I wonder why Windows/Mac don't support fully custom themes)
 
from my memory donkey kong country 3 had a tighter control scheme
 
6:19 AM
@Proxy well if you played platforms in the past you might notice now-a-days you tend to miss jumps because of the tighter character hitbox and controls
@ASCII-only i know with Windows 7. i have a Sono Hanabira theme. i have a screenshot of it here somewhere
 
There's a version that's supposed to work with Windows 10
but I tried that and the screen just turned black when I tried to change themes
@Hakase Shelter
 
@Memor-X could be
 
@Memor-X argh too many conflicting themes
 
@ASCII-only not really. the stuff on the top right is Rainmeater apps
 
6:28 AM
@Memor-X yeah but your rainmeter apps should have a consistent theme too
 
@ASCII-only well they should release consistent app themes then
 
@Memor-X just make one
 
@ASCII-only if i was a decent fan artists i would
 
@Memor-X just steal someone else's fanart
i could should try (otherwise i'd be wasting the too much I spent on this tablet)
the hard part is deciding what to draw
 
7:21 AM
@ASCII-only you can technically use p/invoke calls to set all the properties of apps to what you want, including background images, transparency and just about anything really
 
@Hakase hmm. there must be a reason why it doesn't work though
@Hakase but if that's a thing pls link to whatever relevant docs you manage to find
 
@ASCII-only I already came to terms that buying a tablet was a waste for me
but at least I've had the first-hand experience of having one, so in that regard it's not wasted
 
I use it
sometimes
mostly it's just 1. I have absolutely no clue what to draw or 2. I'm doing something else
 
@ASCII-only first of all, there's .net reflection where you can much more easily do that with .net apps
 
> .NET apps
not very many things out there are .NET apps
also reflection != P/Invoke docs
 
7:25 AM
you can do both if you feel stupid :D
I know you can do weird shit like hide window control buttons, change window content margins to add more glass on the edges or remove it
window transparency too
control transparency also
changing window titles and control text contents
there's gotta be a way to set other properties
I just can't google it right now in 1 minute
 
@Hakase well actually, the thing is: how many of those things can you do to other windows
 
I haven't tried it yet but there seems to be lists of commands for user32.dll
and you can just SendMessage if you know the code and parameters
 
if that's possible I should totally make a win10 rethemer :P
 
idk you can start here :p
in any case I think your best bet would be looking into uxtheme.dll customization
@JNat mornin!
@ASCII-only are you making any apps/games these days?
 
7:45 AM
not really
@Hakase yeah that's what other people tried. doesn't work for a lot of win10 versions
 
hmm but that's the best way to do it really
performance-wise and without memory leaks
(at least minimizes them)
 
yeah, well... it is Windows (and Micro$oft) we're talking about
 
if you manage to figure it out, their theming logic should be pretty simple
but I'm not well versed in reverse-engineering these libs
I don't think it has changed much since the early days of this windows generation
(I think it started with vista?)
anyway if themes were the only problem with win10 I would have switched long ago
I keep reading about botched updates where your pc doesn't wake up from sleep or some other bullshit like drivers for specific hardware stop working
I don't know if it's ever been that bad with win7
during active development I mean
and now win10 is their public dev build, I just don't like that level of quality assurance
 
@Hakase hmm. well they have a private (?) beta (Insider) so IDK why their release build quality is so crap
 
yea it's like the default is their insider builds
idk if they have a slower than default update ring, but maybe that could be an option for me
I still prefer the look and feel of aero glass tho
anyway
I've been thinking about high fps monitors lately
normal fullhd displays like mine are 5-7k rubs now
I got my first one for about 14k back in 2010 or so
then when it broke a couple years back, another one for about 11k
now it goes for 7k
a 144hz version goes for 15k
now the IPS matrices with 120/144hz are upwards of 35k, but more like 50k coz quality matters a lot at that point and the cheaper models seem to have backlight bleeding problems and dead pixels
I'm thinking about getting a 15k one in a couple years if I update this desktop to a better one with a new cpu
reading stuffs about hardware also, it seems like I should wait for the next gen of motherboard-cpu combos, and then there's gonna be new nvidia gpus at the end of the year
 
7:57 AM
yeah, upgrade the GPU along with it as well
 
I got a 1030 to play fortnite better and honestly it helps but now cpu is obviously bottlenecking the entire operation :p
gpu gets to about 1/3 or 1/2 when cpu is at 100%
playing dark souls while doing a cpu-intensive operation feels like cheating
 
but when u uz gtx 1080,
 
everything is in slow mo and I can maneuver much better
 
Mornin'
 
u get gloriaz 144fps
 
8:00 AM
you can get glorious 240fps on 9800gt, in cs 1.6 for example :p
 
mostly I just want 120+hz for a smoother desktop experience
not so much in games
I still don't get stable 60fps most of the time so yea
and the real future of 3d games is vr goggles which we can still wait for to get better and cheaper
and by then the hardware to run it will hopefully also follow suit
I'm just glad I can finally play dark souls 3 on the cheap
 
I'll be getting ready to go to work
 
@Hakase clearly the real future is VR games with focus detection
focus meaning eye focal distance here
 
8:27 AM
idk about that, I haven't read much about how it matters
and idk about moving displays or optics
it better have a reaction time as fast as the eye
 
8:50 AM
@Hakase not moving, focusing
like if your eye focuses further away the VR headset would compensate
 
Hi Maid Caféens
 
9:53 AM
Bye Maid Caféens
 
10:20 AM
@Morwenn Caféens?
 
10:40 AM
@Memor-X Sometimes it does, I think... Obviously yuri takes the centre stage, with hetero being the second favourite
 
11:19 AM
@ASCII-only how?
 
@Hakase it's not something that exists yet exactly
 
well, how would it
 
@Hakase but apparently live focus detection has already been done in cows using (non-visible) lasers or something
 
what problem does it solve is what I don't get
 
It doesn't. but it's more realistic than normal VR
 
11:21 AM
how so
 
because things at a different distance from your focus distance would become blurry like they should
 
oh
 
So it would do basically the same thing as Magic Leap, just without rendering an entire 3D space (so it would require much less processing. but only if this is actually viable)
 
so software depth of field effect
 
yeah.
 
11:22 AM
and the laser eye sensor can shift it depending on where you look at
there's one little problem
we can at will focus on an arbitrary point in space
if the lasers only try to figure out at what 3d object in camera view both eyes are supposedly looking, that's not gonna work
 
@Hakase why would that be a problem though
 
they'll need to also get the focal point of the eyes
well, that's not realistic :p
 
@Hakase I'd assume they'd fire the laser at an angle and measure the angle of the reflection to figure out focal point (but that'd mean each headset would need to be calibrated individually)
 
if you're just relaxing your eyes and with an unfocused gaze glancing around, the image would focus/unfocus whereas in real life it doesn't
it'll be a pretty weird sensation I imagine
 
@Hakase focus/unfocus???
 
11:26 AM
if the only information these sensors get is where you're looking at
I could probably explain it in great detail but it'd take me 15 minutes
we'll see when they make it
 
@Hakase yeah. but I'm assuming (since they say "focus") what they actually do is determine what distance you're focusing at (and since you always have to focus at some distance it would always work)
 
one other problem I foresee is that the eye already doesn't see a lot of detail outside of the small cone at the center of where you're looking at, so blurring the surroundings even further is.. why?
I especially like large images where everything is very detailed, and so I can get these details with what is essentially "peripheral vision" when staring at a large image up close
if that tech blurs periphery even further, it's just gonna be another one of those "disable before playing" checkboxes in the graphics settings :p
like fuuuucking stupid motion blur
I already get motion blur thanks to my unstable 40fps so no thanks
 
@Hakase but it would only blur as much as your eyes would blur it naturally
 
@ASCII-only yea, so double blur
completely unnecessary
it's already natively handled by our eyes
 
@Hakase no, because like how Google Glass is completely focused apparently? so it would only be single blur
 
11:31 AM
never wore them so idk
 
it shouldn't work differently from regular screens so I think if you try to simulate it on a normal display, you can
 
@Gallifreyan well atleast shoujo ai/yuri is number 1
@Morwenn dam, i was watching Doctor Who then
 
@Hakase ok. so apparently Google Glass projects the image directly into your eye so there's no focus problems
 
infact the only reason my mum is putting up with season 10 is so she can see the guy with @Gallifreyan's face finally die
despite the fact that i keep telling her that it happens in the christmas special after season 10
@ASCII-only easy enough for me. either something for my game, book or general shoujo ai/yuri
 
11:37 AM
@Memor-X yeah, for you >_>
 
not enough Orihime x Tatsuki

@Memor-X is this rainmeter ?
@Hakase eyyyyyyyyyy
 
@Gagantous top right yes. the start menu no, that's a Windows 7 hack/mod
 
@Memor-X what's keyword on google for that kind of mod ?
i saw A profile shortcut on your desktop, is it good ?
quick search, it's an old vn
 
@Gagantous the .exe i have is called "Universal Theme Patcher & Exploreframe" which contains those programs and a couple of .reg files called takeownership
don't ask me where i downloaded it from cause i can't remember
 
1:12 PM
you use sticky notes?
 
but if you update windows 7 it will reverse the .dlls it mods
@Hakase not at home no
 
probably some megashare links from deviantart
what do you do in fireworks?
 
@Gagantous it's ok. one route is depressing near the end but it fixes itself up for a happy ending
@Hakase my image editing
 
last version released in 2012
 
@Hakase if that's CS5 then it's what i have
 
1:14 PM
and its features match photoshop closely
for verctor drawing there's illustrator
 
@Hakase photoshop has more tools
i see Fireworks as Photoshop Lite since both are owned by the same company and anything you can do in Fireworks you can do in Photoshop
though the one feature Fireworks doesn't have which i wished it did (in CS5 atleast) is how Photoshop when you do something it adds a filter overtop which you can turn off
ie. if you brighten and then sharpen, you can turn off the brightening without having to redo the sharpening and see how it would have looked
 
@Memor-X you can just as easily download an older 2012 photoshop or even earlier
 
@Hakase at the time i couldn't
 
but now... you can!
 
@Hakase if i could find something that had Illustrator and Photoshop
 
1:26 PM
why do you need illustrator in all that though
vectors?
photoshop can view them but editing is limited
 
@Hakase yeh. i have some images which i learned could be converted to vector images so i can resize them
 
afaik vectorization algos are meh unless it's a cartooney source image without textured parts
 
@Hakase oh i have some
one moment
^ i want to vectorize that so i can make it as big as i want it
 
1:42 PM
make sure to look it up coz there are probably vector source files or someone already did it

Q: What's the reason some of the Detective Neuro's manga cover's page upside down?

GagantousI have twelve volumes of Majin Tantei Neugami Neuro actually, it has 22-23 volume, but it should cover more than a half. It's really weird since the first tenth volume of this manga's cover is upside down like you could see in this site. What's the reason behind it ?

 
3:37 PM
:o
 
4:04 PM
no questions about cortana?
 
4:15 PM
user image

apparently some artists delete their pixiv profiles because they're dumb
why would they hide their public images that they published if they don't want the public to see them
why did they publish them in the first place then
do they think these images will be forever gone from the internet this way?
 
why np.reddit tho
 
what is wrong with these artists
nice pictures
idk

Q: Animes Like Naruto, Fairy Tail, and One Piece... but with romance ?

KwayLooking for an anime that’s similar to those three animes. Has a great story, all the good stuff those ones have. However, Im looking for one that has romance as a big part of the story line. Naruto and fairy tail gets romantic towards the end, while one piece has little to no romance. So again g...

Q: Where can I watch the remaining episodes of Naruto? (Sub or Dub)

The Ninja LlamaThanks you all for your answers!!! Also can people give me tips on other good anime shows that I can watch. Thanks Again!

11:22 PM
there can be some legit reasons such as
- entering into deals/agreements which require the public stuff they control to be removed
- they plan on selling them so remove the free copies they control
- they quit
there is also a culture in japan about wanting to control the message which is why you see Nintendo act like assholes to gamers
