>>12290 here, for you

what is tis site? never heard of it before. (i just joined the link to look arround and i found another site like this but with more characters)

yo, yo neighbor from the south, lowk arabic has some absolutely AMAZING poetry, genuinely recommend ya learn it, spacetoon can't even fathom to give the avg 8 year old what al mutannabi could teach the average badiyyah kid

also, for learning languages, i recommend throwing yourself into the country without knowing anything, worked for my dad when he was an immigrant and worked for me when i came back to my home country

I learned french for 10 years as a child, but ended up forgetting most of it by this point. Still comes in handy sometimes though

>>114 Due to canada's laws, I can understand most of the average VOSTFR, albeit stringing sentences causes this annoying sense of impeding incorrectness, even if I use a dictionary. I plan on eventually forcing myself to think and post in broken Esperanto.

i am from chile wish spanish is my first lenguage, and as you can see, my second lenguage is english. at some point, i tried to learn french on doulingo because of adult cartoons like les kassos and vermin, i'm also trying to learn japanese too but its been a while since i tried to learn it in busuu... i still suck at speaking both.

Another awesome find that I did not know about until recently was a flash game from 2009 called Lomando, luckily it was ported so we can still enjoy it today. It's a strange puzzle game about searching through a haunted house. https://www.lomando.com/main.html

This one is decently new, came out last year. It's not the spookiest thing I have ever seen but I enjoy it. More than jumpscares or gore, I REALLY love horror that makes me feel deeply unsettled. Uncanny valley and such.

I don't know

i basically always have to try to study so i don't understand the question. studying for me is always a conscious effort, even if it's easier at times than others.

My desktop used to look pretty neat but recently I have become a KDE normie :( I should get back into it once I recover from my technology burnout.

Switched to gentoo a couple of days ago in light of the whole systemd thing, it's been fun using so far honestly. Might switch to a WM or KDE soon, xfce isn't really doing it for me

Can I post this, even if there's no animay background?

>>1860 Non-anime detected. Hikari3 Death Squad being deployed to your location imminently. Say your prayers, hikarin.

>>1861 PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!

ADDENDUM, because I just realized I forgot a bunch of things I meant to put into this post This is still a simplified model. It does not take into the Excitation plus Resonance model, the Spectral Voice Model. It uses a linear transform and not generated trajectories. One thing I was thinking about was the part in WBVPM section where they said that one of the disadvantages of WBVPM was not being able to separate harmonic and non-harmonic. I also read that the noise is embedded as fluctuations in the spectrum of each voice pulse and over time, which is what I had presumed because the information has to go somewhere. I was thinking, what if you took each harmonic as the values and the pulse onsets times as the positions in a spline. Then interpolated at regular intervals. Then applied the fourier transform. Then separate the highest frequencies and the others. Take the others and apply the inverse Fourier transform, and then rebuild a spline from this and interpolate the values back at the onsets. I wonder if this would work. There would be loss though because of the resampling steps. This could decreased by taking more samples. You could also apply a correction by sampling and sampling it back to calculate the resampling loss itself without the removal of the high frequency modulations, and then add this difference back to the main pulse information after the separation.

Hello I'm back with another update to my VOCALOID project. It's not as big an improvement as last time - and in fact, there's no new features - but I felt like it was worth posting. I've been trying to rectify the major issues before I move onto implementing the Excitation plus Resonance model. The first thing I attempted to tackle was all the added noise at high frequencies. Here's the original spectrum: https://files.catbox.moe/fq55bo.png And here's the reconstructed spectrum (with no transforms applied): https://files.catbox.moe/gq7jff.png You can clearly see the high frequency artifacts. The first thing I tried was something mentioned in the paper. In the paper, specifically the WBVPM section, it was mentioned that there are two approaches for a non-integer size discrete fourier transform. The first one is repeating the signal while second is upsampling it. I went with second as the former is patented and also because the second is easier to implement. It is mentioned that increasing the repetition count of the signal (or in the case of upsampling, the upsampling factor), and then discarding the higher frequencies, can improve the estimation by reducing artifacts. In the case of repetition, it is also mentioned that quadratic interpolation can be used in the resulting spectrum, however I am not sure if this can be done for upsampling and as such, I have not tried to implement it for now. Here's the result after applying an upsampling factor of 3: https://files.catbox.moe/qcgnzq.png Here's the original audio: https://files.catbox.moe/f7g8ta.wav The original reconstruction: https://files.catbox.moe/da0m1i.wav And now with the improved reconstruction: https://files.catbox.moe/513ycn.wav You can see an improvement, especially at lower frequency, however the high frequency artifacts largely persist. So they have to be arising elsewhere. I realized the source was the reconstruction of the signal (AKA the "synthesis"). I had previously implemented a synthesis method that was quite different from the one used in the study, because I did not understand the method in the study at first. My synthesis method worked by taking each voice pulse and for each sample where the voice pulse is the closest voice pulse to that sample, setting the value of that sample to the interpolated value of a spline representing a time domain version of the upsampled voice pulse with a step corrospondin between the ratio a sample in the regular time domain and the upsampled time domain. Now, in some cases, estimation inaccuracies and differences from any transformations that were applied result in these regions of samples being bigger than the actual sample itself. In these cases, we take advantage of the period nature of the voice pulse and repeat it (i.e. sampling before the start is equivalent from that offset from the end, and sampling after the end is the same as that offset from the start). However, this method results in discontinuities in some cases. Here is an example of such a discontinuity: https://files.catbox.moe/jnnxfj.png I began to try to implement an interpolation system. In this system, we could calculate the gap between pulses - or in the cases of inaccuracies in the other direction (i.e. overlapping pulses) - the overlapping area, and interpolate between one pulse and the other linearly. However, this was approach was complicated significantly by the non-integer (and potentially differing) sizes of the pulses as well as numerous edge cases. For this reason, I struggled to do so and spent over an hour trying to figure out how to do it corrrectly. About half way through, I decided to check the paper again and this time I understood the actual synthesis method properly, largely because of a diagram I had missed the first time.

>>12281 In the actual method, each pulse is is expanded in a manner similar to that of the border interpolation technique used in WBVPM analysis, except kind of in reverse. In this technique, for each voice pulse, we generate extensions on both sides with each extension having the size of the border interpolation ratio of the size of the voice pulse. Then we apply a trapezoidal window to the voice pulse which starts at zero at each side of the extended voice pulse and becomes 1 on either side after protrusion of twice the border interpolation size on each side. Then we overlap and add the voice pulses. This technique fixes the discontinuity issue because it effectively results in each border-interpolation-length side of each voice pulse being interpolated with the corrosponding section for the other voice pulse linearly over a period of twice the border interpolation size. However, this only holds perfectly when the fundamental frequency is the same for both voice pulses (and thus they are the same size) and they are spaced out at onsets that are exactly the period of the fundamental frequency apart. However, when this in not the case, some amount of modulation occurs that results in some voice pulses being attenuated while others are accentuated. This is especially noticeable when there are large inaccuracies in the fundamental frequency estimation and/or the voice pulse onset sequence. Here's the same section from before. Notice how now it does not have a discontinuity: https://files.catbox.moe/p26914.png Now here's a zoomed-out version: https://files.catbox.moe/zacw8w.png Now here's a section with large inaccuracies in the MFPA estimation that clearly shows large modulation artifacting: https://files.catbox.moe/efk1vx.png Here's the new spectrum: https://files.catbox.moe/f94zse.png You can see that while the high frequency artifacts are now gone, there are now more low frequency artifacts. In fact, the overall amount of artifacts is actually higher than before. Here's the reconstructed audio: https://files.catbox.moe/ympfi0.wav While I ended out solving this issue by fixing large inaccuracies in the MFPA system, it is interesting to note that my approach is more resilient to estimation inaccuracies. Perhaps for a future improved vocal synthesizer, it would be worth exploring a variant of my periodic continuation technique adapted with an interpolation method that could handle changes in pulse onset and f0. The first thing I tried was switching to a magnitude-limited logarithmic scale for the ampltiude in the MFPA function instead of it being linear. However, this resulted in little to no effect. The next thing I tried was adjusting the size in periods of the window used for the peaks that are fed into MFPA, however again this resulted in little to no effect. Next, I tried implementing the harmonic peak selection algorithm I proposed in the previous post, but again this resulted in little to no effect. Finally, I began looking at the MFPA refinement algorithm instead, and I found something quite interesting: In this section, these are the per-frame detected onsets: https://files.catbox.moe/f36gno.png Now here's the onsets chosen by the MFPA refinement algorithm: https://files.catbox.moe/4b7hc0.png

>>12282 Notice that while one of the onsets in the detected onsets is wrong, there is also a correct one for that voice pulse, and additionally, the incorrect onset chosen was actually for the next pulse. Furthermore, that incorrect chosen onset was actually not even a detected one - the one detected for that frame was correct - so it must have been one of the additional onset candidates considered by the MFPA refinement algorithm. I realized shortly after what the issue was: When I first wrote the MFPA refinement algorithm, I was under the false assumption that it's primary purpose was to compute a superset, rather than a subset, of the detected onsets. Because of this, I realized I could make a simplification to the algorithm. In the paper, it says to calculate the MFPA error by finding the closest MFPA onset to the frame. However, since I thought there should be at most onset per pulse in the detected onsets, we could do this by just getting the onset time at that frame index (where we get the frame index by rounding the time). I believe actually even written the code originally to use a search, but simplified it. But since now there can be (and usually are) multiple detections per pulse, that assumption is no longer true and by doing that, we may choose a pulse which is not actually the closest. In the case I show above, what probably happened was that the wrong detection in the previous pulse was chosen, resulting in choosing the wrong one for the next pulse. I fixed the issue by making it use a search (and also sorting the detected onsets first), and it fixed that section: https://files.catbox.moe/0oryig.png Here's the section that was heavily modulated before: https://files.catbox.moe/r0oq2w.png And here's the spectrum: https://files.catbox.moe/pgfqfh.png Notice the low frequency artifacts are mostly gone. And here's the reconsutrcted audio: https://files.catbox.moe/98zbd1.wav Now here's the pitch transposed audio with the fixes applied: https://voca.ro/1izsfK1Ewhaha3 Compare to before: https://voca.ro/1mJ5qljrp9hD

Much of this goes very over my head but it's cool to see the work you're doing hikarin. Thenk you for sharing your hard work.

>>107 beautiful name, flamboyance :surprise:

Hello /aca/rin~ I'm gonna try fileshelter software once I get back home today!

A group of women is called either a sisterhood or a flock. never knew that!

I have an SSD in both of my computers. You may as well upgrade, hikarin. It's a noticable improvement.

I think its very worth it, I have a t60 and upgraded it to an ssd, it took it from an old pc to basically on par with any of my newer computers.

>>1754 SSDs not only have faster read/write times (essentially quicker transfer speeds) but some games are now requiring them to load stuff quick enough. You may see an increase in performance and they have virtually zero moving parts (at least m.2's) so you don't have to worry about head crashes or moving parts failing/making noise.

>>1754 Me luv SSD I can just slam them and memory doesn't get corrupt. Like God intended. Stone tablet tier reliability

>>1754 I use SSD's for most of my computers at the moment but still primarily use HDD's for stuff like external storage, it is a pretty common upgrade and rather simple to do if you'd like to try it out yourself.

I wonder if it's received updates I learned about the Chaoshan region of China, it had been the origin of a lot of derivatives of it's culture, as it had been home to a lot of migration overseas. It had a lot of impact on Singaporeans, along with Indonesian Chinese, who were often the majority landowners, strangely often. Quite a few people there speak a variety of Mandarin that is the closest to ancient Chinese, and they're often referred to as the Teochew people. They also have a coming of age ceremony. Interesting people. https://www.omniglot.com/chinese/ A useful page for people trying to learning languages, a lot of documentation I'd recommend the movies, „An Elephant Standing Still” and „To Live” on https://kisskh.ws/ which I found a lot of East Asian shows in Also try out https://lightnovelpub.org/ for quite a few webnovels, albeit in English, Qidian would be better for Chinese https://www.konglongmandarin.com/ Another interesting website I came across to learn Mandarin from Peppa Pig

>but this should be the only numbering system(that is shown anyways) It's not like that because it's still using the same stuff that the image boards use and it's too much of a hassle I'm not bothered to deal with. Also I prefer the futaba numbering system.

>>1799 Hey Kujify, I've ended up taking the HD rip with chinese subtitles and adding English subs from an old and defunct translation group (Kiteseekers). Lmk if you'd like me to forward you the series in as high quality as you can get

Oh Dude, Tet0 if you please could provide that to me that'd be amazing man. I'll give you my dicksword so you can forward it over to me through other means. Sorry for the delayed response I've been busy. It's .8kuji or 8kuji

>>1830 Added you, I'll figure out a way to forward it to you in a little bit. I watched a bit of the first episode and it was okay so I hope the rest of the episodes are too

Wait. Hang on a second. I'm not getting anything through just yet. Try this again please. My dicksword has been bugged the past couple days for some reason.

>>1832 Ah I added the wrong 8kuji I guess Oops

For me it's Rana

Did you know there's an unofficial UTAU based on MGR from Cookie☆ that became known as MGRoid? Now you do

>>1822 I did not know this hikarin thank you for the information

>>1346 are there any good (female) voices that can be used for english tts?

>>1824 Zundamon has an english Voiceger voicebank but other than that not really

Honestly 1080p is enough still and if you dont care all that much maybe try the jump to what others call 2k (2560×1440). It's a huge jump in quality and wayyy easier to run than 4k. I wouldn't recommend ultra wide unless you know how to mod games and all your shows will have black bars. I will say you should try a dual monitor setup! It's convenient if you ever wanna boot up something separate or put a video on the side. Sometimes I'll play my ps3 on my main monitor and transfer files/do other tech stuff on my pc in the background. 100hz is good but if you can affordably get 144 or 175hz I'd recommend that too. Realistically you shouldnt't need to spend more than ~3-400 dollars on a new monitor, especially around holidays or days like fathers/mothers day. They get real cheap around them at places like Best Buy usually. Last bit of advice: price check always. I bought a monitor off Amazon for 50 dollars more than I would have paid on Newegg

so hikarian, what did you get?

Ah my Goddess has has a better dub desu. I watched it as a kid on YouTube dubbed so I'm biased... Not an anime, but the Neptunia series' dub is way better than the original Japanese. In the original they all sound the same sorry

I prefer watching Hetalia in the dub because the voice actors in the english dub have different accents depending on the country they voice act, and i think that’s hilarious.

Azumanga Daioh & Lucky Star as sometimes I think it kinda fits better but I like both languages and just flip flop between the two

>>1482 I prefer death note and fma(b) dubbed

>>1729 Same here. At this point I can't imagine playing project phantasma without Stingers one-liners. Kind of like the rest of armored core, it has this "cheesyness" for lack of a better word, which I really like.

My current reads, alongside Anna Karenin which I'm reading on my ereader. Me thinks all the people posting about all the polemics they're reading should slow down and read some (good) fiction first...

>>427 Fiction is gude yes. I will be reading some classics next, debating between the Grimm's brothers tales or The Count of Monte Cristo.

>>343 >For my Legionaries holy based

>>429 It was really good. R.I.P to a Real™®© one, Codreanu. Taken too soon and by his own king nonetheless. Vindicated pretty soon after when the commies took over. I very much enjoyed his emphasis on the importance of teaching the intelligentsia the value of and respect for physical labor. Other fash writers talk about this too but Codreanu really lived it in his day-to-day.

>>425 Finished The Storm of Steel. The scenes and experiences he describes in this book are quite harrowing, it's crazy to think men younger than me were going through such horror! I am not sure if I could rise to the occasion like them. Although I am pretty anti-war, the descriptions of honor, bravery, comradere, and sacrifice he gives are quite inspiring nonetheless. Good read. Next I will read some sort of fiction although I haven't decided on specifics yet. Thinking either Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian or Braum Stokers Dracula. Also my book club is likely reading Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals so I'll be reading that too alongside. Hence I wanted to pick something fiction, easier to ingest.

>>1843 lol, if you ask some of my friends, getting someone's IP address means you're le the ultimate h4xx0r.

>>1840 Poorchan uses it but that site feels more like a test than an actual attempt at running an imageboard

Are there any actual advantages to using Yotsuba over something like Lynxchan, Vichan, Jschan, etc?

>>1850 I highly doubt it. From what I can tell it's quite outdated and poorly supported. You're very probably better off just using one of the options you mentioned.

>>1844 "I already know my IP, dumbass"

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

Because Black Ops 2 was set in 2025, does that retroactively make it alt-hist? They were also relatively on-point with predicting drone warfare.

>>36 I find it hard to believe that they don't have some form of consciousness. This might just be pure sophistry, but when I look into an animal's eyes, I see always see something looking back at me. Curiosity, fear, worry, I'd say that most of the feelings that animals have are negative ones, especially wild animals, but that doesn't dilute the fact that they have those feelings. A predator on the verge of starvation will go against instinct and desperately attack something they know they can't fight, just for a chance at a meal. A prey on the verge of death will still try to fatally wound the predator, making it a pyrrhic last meal. I don't think they view the world anywhere near us, with heightened levels of thought, but they are present in the world and conscious, that's what I believe.

the problem with this question from a materialistic standpoint is we aren't fully sure how the consciousness came to be. like, the scientific community isn't sure how or why humans developed a conscious. my guess would be animals lack the sophisticated level of abstract thinking we do. consciousness requires awareness of one's self, their place in the world around them, and their needs/emotions in a way that animals lacking human intellect cant fully emulate.

>>36 humans are not "technically" animals we are animals. if we have it then they have it too if we don't have it then they don't since we are essentially the same thing i also believe that pmuch everything living has consciousness because the idea that a plankton has it but bacteria doesnt is just too damn stupid a better question is why do you presuppose that animals might not have it? why do you assume that we have it? its about time we grow out of the 4k year old religious propaganda that we are higher than animals and we are gods special little kids

>>54 Religious comments aside, we literally are higher than other animals and we are special. We are the only animals on Earth capable of this level of thought and articulation. Some animals are smarter than others. It's very arguable that many animals do have rudimentary consciousness, likely comparable to a gradient of complexity, and the line between having and not having consciousness isn't cut and dry. But at the end of the day we are the most intelligent species on Earth by a LONG shot and no other animal is comparable. That makes us special and in some regards "above" other animals. >the idea that plankton have it but bacteria doesn't is just too damn stupid Yeah because that is stupid, neither of them do. >its about time we grow out of the 4k year old religious propaganda that we are higher than animals and we are gods special little kids God wants us to be the stewards of the Earth, our job (which we are pretty shit at) is to care for the Earth and its inhabitants as everything is His creation including ourselves.

>>55 can you rigorously prove anything you said? people believe the idea of human exceptional because they like it not because anyone knows anything about it >We are the only animals on Earth capable of this level of thought and articulation. how do you know that? do you know what a whale thinks? do you know what you mom thinks? does she even think? >Some animals are smarter than others how do you know that? has anyone ever developed a cross species "smartness" testing system? >It's very arguable that many animals do have rudimentary consciousness, likely comparable to a gradient of complexity, and the line between having and not having consciousness isn't cut and dry. how do you know that? what kind of tools or instruments or methods do we have that we can use to measure "consciousness"? >But at the end of the day we are the most intelligent species on Earth by a LONG shot and no other animal is comparable. again how do you know that? dolphins brains are bigger than ours what if they are actually smarter? >That makes us special and in some regards "above" other animals. we are special coz we are the only "we" we know of but "above"? i dont know about that.

>>4 I am not really optimistic. It looks to me as if most younger people neglect participating in more bureaucratic forms of education. It really disturbs me to witness the normalization and the promotion of cluster B personalities in the system. I don't know whats going to happen, but it doesn't look good. We are more connected and yet more disconnected in general; social media removed unity in thought, I don't know what's to hope for. We really need a belief system, because the world in general looks bleak to me.

We find ourselves at a pivotal moment in history where the sinners are cast aside for the righteous. In other words, those who cling to desperation and greed will miss what's happening now and will be doomed to failure. It's pointless to predict what the future will hold. One can only guess what will happen, but a better option is to make a choice on what is happening right now in front of you. I know that the present also pushes back at us, too, but let us not forget what we can do to fight back, our desire in our hearts. Our passion and creativity. I myself find myself the most successful in life when I am working my hardest to create what I want to and what I love doing. That is why it is essential not only to be unafraid to make decisions but also to have unwavering determination that you will come out on top in the end. Forget all these doomsayers who try to predict this dreadful future! Don't let them stop you from doing what you love. Always focus on what you love doing and you will succeed in the end.

>>4 def worse unless we do some kind of a revolution we are screwed chances are most of us wont see 22nd century i hope however that the internet exposing fakeness and poinlessness of all of these wars will foster a global pacifist movement it would be nice at least if more nations adopted japanese style constitutional ban on war

>>34 That was actually what I learned last year. She even has a boyfriend who loves her quite a bit acts like nothing has happened. I've occassionally fantasized about her being a successful celebrity or something of high status so that I could ruin the lives of those she is close with,

>>37 I feel it too anon. I hate how these people are the ones who go to the top and don't remember what they did to most people around them. The silver lining is that they are probably more broken inside and that they will probably mess up badly in the future, maybe karma is building up to bite them in the back? I still believe good will win, even if evil reigns for long.

>The silver lining is that they are probably more broken inside and that they will probably mess up badly in the future, maybe karma is building up to bite them in the back? I still believe good will win, even if evil reigns for long. Like I said, If we want good to win, Then it's on us to push for it rather than just hoping that good will win. As Joshua Graham would say, "You can't except God to do all the work". It's on you to make that change.

>>39 that's true, I heard of a parable where God condemned people who did not do much with their time, despite having the ability to do better, over time, I feel like I've realized that I have too money and too little time, it sucks

what do you mean by karma? if we take the simplest popular definition - that its basically just cause and effect - why would you not believe in it? if a person does something bad then it makes world worse and then they have to live in a worse off world thats karma and there 0 superstitious elements in this defenition >>33 you say it as if thats all shes done in her life bully you and "win" whatever that means

Syrno soon gonna block the word foid and moid with something else.

>>12201 We should be inclusive and replace them with groid (group of people)

>>12204 hmmm... a groid... a group of moids and foids.... together in harmony..... much to think about............

>>12093 lil hikarin just https://otakudolls.com/ and ur good to go.

>>12209 Is it a manufacturer or reseller/distributor? I'm asking about manufacturers.

Miku! Get out of there!!!

MIKU! RUN AWAY! GET AWAY FROM THAT THING!!!!

oh no................:worried:

Wait didn't it Say No PENIS or VAGINAs? Or I am I just dumb

>>42 an example: >while he did a thing, he(same person) did another thing vs >while he did a thing, he(different person) did another thing but imagine those parens were case markers

>>43 I see now thank you very much. very intresting

>>28 I'm too drunk to talk about linguistics but I dropped out of a masters in this so I know more about anyone else in this thread AMA

>>431 Are there features you think English is missing compared to other languages? What about features it could do without?

Wenis and Wagina Ex: My wagina is sore, my wenis is all flabby

>>98 Draw her getting an education

Drew her with a can of beer

how much cyberbullying would it take to make Tomoko a lolcow if she were real

Dude I can't even Imagine it though nice Tomoko

eh, she would arguably be worse

>>12148 do you just have a collection of risque twink pics hikarin?

>>12148 Can you share?

>>12151 Mossad made me collect and post them.

>>12153 Mossad turned me into a femboy and killed my mother

>>12181 >Mossad turned me into a femboy Proof?

Touhou stinks, and the captcha stinks.

Sometimes Syrno isn't a lazy fuck and that is nice of him.

She smoking

>>12182 what brand of smokes does Hikari-chan smoke? i'm thinking Peace.

What holiday is it? I'm down to celebrate anyway

It's March 8th.

happy March 8th!

You might wanna try postmarketOS on it. It might be a funny homelab... given they suppport it... https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices

>>1848 That might be fun, however the tablet isn't officially supported. Could try a generic version or something maybe. The tablet is model SM-T220. Galaxy Tab A7 Lite.

>>12124 I want to make my own board for friends, but unfortunately, not everyone knows English or can use a translator

>>12124 updoot

>>12120 I use frantech.ca/buyvm.net and have a good experience with them. They take crypto (including Monero) and if you use crypto, you get full anonymity. When register, they have a form for some personal information. But they told me that you can just enter placeholders if you only use crypto to pay, which is what I did.

>>12156 He is the same one that moaned about his vps on heyaoi just a while ago and samefagged praising it Caution

>>12176 Didn't samefag - both times someone else asked

Not too long ago I played through Overboard, a short map pack from the guy who made Going Down. Short and sweet maps with some awesome level design, and a NG+ mode with harder enemy placements after you beat it for the first time. Link to the Doomworld page: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Overboard

Hideous Destructor and Doom the Way ID Did are always a kino combo~ Been playing a lot of Ashes 2063 lately, and it's pretty comfy: lots of doom cute and sick weapons. Anyone been getting into wadding themselves? Been meaning to get my hands wet one of these days

I remember an AVGN episode where he covers a DOOM mod made by a food company or something? I recall you played as an alien who was fighting other aliens to rescue your family or people or whatever. It had really goofy names and weapons but actually wasn't too bad all things considered. Surely I am not hallucinating.

>>1820 Chex Quest?

>>1825 Yesssssssss it was Chex Quest. Crazy how popular it was when it came out, from a cereal box of all things.

>>623 Agreed. I'm playing it for the first time with a friend and we're slowly going through 100% completion. Even some of the missions are a headache to get through, not considering the tedium of 100%.

One's have had to retry bosses the most are ds3 and the trails of cold steel series. Trails could be hard but always had room to try different strategies, was very satisfying to figure one out that finally worked. DS3 when you lost it would happen quickly but in a jrpg where boss battles can go 30 minutes - an hour losing towards the end hurts much more, esp when you realize you were just stupid/confident.

It was probably soloing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate's G-Rank. There were certain fights that were dogshit but the game was mostly fun and felt rewarding when beating tough quests. That was until G3, where everything was just artificially difficult (the only exception being Chameleos). Everything would just 1 tap you and Gog was just a giant damage sponge that was obviously not intended to be soloed.

>>639 Sekiro makes elden ring look like hello kitty island adventure

>>1823 Sekiro was only hard for me because I refused to learn. Deflecting isnt the same as blocking and it took me too long to learn that. I also beat Isshin in maybe 3 real attempts. I will say I did have to fight Owl Father and the Demon of hatred about 10 times each though
