Little protip, you can use markdown to format links.

Example:

[Source (gelbooru)](https://gelbooru.com/index.php "hover text (optional)")

Which will show as: Source (gelbooru)

I like the aero aesthetic tbh, especially the vista rendition.

It's heavy on GPU for sure; but it manages to pull off a relatively consistent look (or at least more consistent than anything that came after)

!alzheimersgroup when?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

no problem, lots of new users now and many still trying to figure out how to post.

glad to be of help.

protip, you can copy the image from Gelbooru and then hit CTRL + V when you're focused on the URL field, this will upload the image to lemmy if it's less than 1 MB.

Otherwise you can upload the image to a file host like catbox and copy the URL it gives.

Lastly you can use the image url from gelbooru and copy that; but they don't like their CDN to be used as a file host for other services as they don't generate revenue.

Okay, you’ve kind of sold me on Mahoyo as my first Nasuverse VN. That sounds right up my alley, and it’s a bonus that it’s short, haha. That’s not something you can say about most of Nasu’s games. I keep seeing this game pop up everywhere on VN sites! Maybe I’ll have to give in soon and buy it.

I'm not gonna stop you, I've had my fair sare of fun with it and the beauty of the nasuverse is that you can start anywhere and still have enough context to figure out what's happening (except when they start pulling out magic, that shit still hurts my brain). Personally I prefer the longer format of Tsukihime as it is used really well to build up your knowledge across routes and throw new things at you at a reasonable pace (fate does the same, but I find the execution of it done better in Tsuki)

I do own a Switch, but I don’t really want to play VNs on it…

if you can get your hands on the NSP file (which you can do by dumping it using a modded switch) Yuzu should run it just fine and you can read it that way, it's how I read Mahoyo and it's come a long way performance wise that I managed to do it on a 2015 toshiba satellite. I would recommend using some sort of controller (if you're on Linux you can use pretty much whatever you have on hand) I tried using keyboard mappings and it isn't really that great even after setting them up as best as I can.

animated webp allows for video compression it can dramatically reduce file size while also giving the same benefits as apng. It also allows for proper transparency so you don't have to fiddle with export settings not to have layers overlap and you can use actual alpha values

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

while that will work for the majority of images, webp is not just a container for jpeg compression and allows for much more (animated webp for example is the near perfect replacement for animated gif yet very few applications support it).

The big advantage is that webm and webp can use a variety of formats really well and allows you to pick the one most appropriate for your content whilst still having a container format that supports it.

I remember being very bored by the second season of UBW but also kind of liking it. I’ve seen the original Fate series (yes, yes I know), the UBW series, the UBW movie, and Fate/Zero. I think I liked UBW the most.

If you haven't already go watch the Heaven's feel trilogy or read the route in the VN (I do think it's coded so you'd have to finish Fate and UBW first though).

I’ve been wanting to read Mahoutsukai no Yoru for a long time, ever since I saw the cover. I like Slice of Life stuff a lot!

Mahoyo is mostly slice of life and it's done pretty well, it has the occasional action but the majority of it is about Aoko (she has a brief appearance in Tsukihime) and you get a really good intro to the magic of the Nasuverse (Fate also tries to do that; but after the second explainer from Rin you've kind of had it) Tsukihime isn't going to spend it's time infodumping (except a couple scenes near the end of the Arcueid and Ciel routes) and you're just expected to know things like KnK. I recently finished the Mahoyo VN (thanks to the re-release actually offering an english translation even if it has a couple issues (although I've read worse)) and it's pretty banger even if the slice of life scenes didn't entertain me all that much (although they are used really well to build the characters and their relationships). It is a pretty short VN though (at least compared to the other Nasuverse works) and definitely worth a read.

I don't know what engine it uses though as it's hidden behind the switch executable; but I suspect they're using some form of kirikiri as it is very similar to Fate/Stay Night.

That’s a crying shame. I wish more companies preserved their work for future audiences, though if they don’t want it preserved, I can understand why, haha.

It is a shame, especially with Tsukihime where the far side routes are currently only available through the original game with the remake coming™. Although I have heard that there is some interest in a proper translation if they were to do a PC release (and let's hope it won't take them another 10 years to do so). That said I am looking forward to the scrapped Satsuki route which would no doubt be a complete banger (at least from what I've been able to gather with the content from the original and what we see on the Plus Disc)

you can use the link field to link to an image on any hosting site (such as catbox.moe) or click the little image icon underneath to upload an image.
