and for further context, the song is the opening to the English localization to Captain Harlock (This part I didn't know until just now) youtu.be/k99fOxvRRg8

For reference, the video/song in question is this banger by DocFuture youtu.be/jKfHNT6CbSM I'm pretty sure I've never seen this on Chuni, it'd be a welcome addition though.

I think the next challenge is the VLX, I dunno if I have the heart to do a non reversible mod to that though, imma have to think on it...

Anyway, my crusade against hard wired USB cables in arcade sticks continues. The Qanba Dragon is now free of it's earthly shackles, grab the files here

and in some alternate universe we'd have a functioning Aquapazza port, but that's very likely incredibly out of their hands.

Some of it is definitely just rose tinted glasses, I'll admit, but I miss the days where I could feel that raw "otaku" passion from creators, unapologetic and original. I guess it could be worse, I'd rather be remembered for Evangelion TV than Rebuild... Anyway here's Daicon IV.

Over the years I've caught myself thinking about powerhouses in the anime/manga field over the years, and how I just don't feel like we see anything nowadays like we used to, from Gainax to CLAMP to Rumiko Takahashi nothing feels like it has the same staying power anymore, or legacy.

There are a number of brandings that various companies used to market their "Adventure Games" such the "Sound Novels" that Chunsoft put out in the 90s, and a few agnostic terms like "Kinetic Novel". Visual Novel is just sorta the term that stuck in the English community and probably the most apt one

Hi, old otaku here. Generally speaking the "correct" term is "Adventure Game" in Japanese, A "light novel" tends to be a written body of work that doesn't rely too much on complicated kanji (it's a sort of nebulous term) and a "Visual Novel" is a term coined by Leaf for their adventure games.

What I'm more getting at is questioning the motivation for some of this, are you installing Arch to show off for some weird fake internet points or because you understand and agree with the design philosophy? It's a god damned OS, it's there to let me look at anime tiddies, not look at my specs.

Like, you do you, but no one should be impressed you installed Arch in 2025. It's never been hard and no longer tedious because it's entirely automated through the installer script. I'm not saying that in a bad way, I'm happy you don't have to deal with pacstrap anymore.
