I’m about >1hr in so I more or less just completed the tutorial(?). I have to set the game at 200% render scaling because the anti-aliasing is terrible at 100%. The mouth movement is a bit odd and the characters move strangely sometimes. There’s also a lot going on in the UI and it’s not nearly as clean as P3R. There are text boxes that kind of hover around your screen in the city. I’d much prefer it was anchored on the NPCs instead.

Also MC’s face looks funny in some angles.

Other than that, the game looks really good. I think they made the atmosphere quite well. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it at first as I’m not the biggest fan of fantasy but the introduction with the man talking about “fantasy” was interesting enough.

I’ll finish the demo this weekend but I’ll buy and play the game after I play the other Persona games first.

Oh I think I’ve heard of this one. It’s honestly crazy what some people do over a videogame.

I’ve never read this. But reading the title reminds me of post-game League lobbies where people would drop locations for a fist fight.

I don’t think they ever push through but its pretty funny sometimes lol

I tried to get into this game because I like Rimworld but damn is it so hard to learn. I couldn’t even get past the tutorial.

Gacha games.

I play Genshin Impact and one gacha is enough for me.

Not expecting to see this today. Those crossover outfits are really cute.

ツンデレサービス～！

At first glance, I thought they were Kronii and Reine.

This thread is like 2 months old and I’m rewatching the episodes of the threads I missed on, so let’s go through this via screenshots.

I’m pretty convinced this toilet sign is Ougi and Nadeko. I think it’s easy to forgot that Ougi is a boy now.

We finally got the opening for Nademonogatari which features both Kana Hanazawa and Saori Hayami. I don’t know if Nademonogatari is the first time I’ve heard the two together. Both their voices share this characteristic I can’t describe in English but when you hear it, you might get what I mean.

I’m certain this is a callback to an older scene in the series. Either Koyomi or Ougi meeting with Tsukihi. You can also say Akira if you’d like.

Marina Inoue sounded completey different here, obviously because this isn’t the same Sodachi we knew. She’s a lot more compassionate and sister-like to Nadeko. I didn’t even recognize her until Nadeko said so herself. I’m actually quite glad Sodachi is doing better here and didn’t turn out to be a one-off character in the series (as she kind of came out of nowhere previously).

There really is something about girls cutting their hair short when they want to change something about themselves. It’s a really interesting phenomenon that boys don’t really have an equivalent to. More interestingly I guess, this scene parallels with Hitagi and Koyomi during Mayoi Snail.

By far the shots that reminded me that Monogatari is “peak cinema”, as they say. Live action shots, somewhat reminscent of early 2000s handhelds composited with a running topless Nadeko.

After extensive testing, I might have figured it out.

Any JPEG image with truecolor, 100% JPEG quality, and >5 megapixels silently fails. It’s very specific but I’ll see what else I can do.

edit: I think I figured it out (again). Lemmy has a timeout of ~30s for images. It takes more than 30s for pictrs to process a JPEG image with the properties above (about ~45s). The image will be processed and can be accessed via its URL but Lemmy won’t return the URL because of the timeout. The timeout is actually hardcoded to 30s. I’m not sure why it’s hardcoded nor do I understand why it takes pictrs to process the image for so long (it only takes a second when I do magick convert image.jpg image.webp). I assume this is why videos don’t get processed either when I tested some time ago. Anyway, I’ll try to bring it up with the devs.

That might be the case. I think I can increase the limits that pictrs can accept.

edit: I increased the limits so very high resolution images (up to 8000px) can be uploaded (but are still downscaled to 4096px).

Now, what I can’t figure out is why pictrs isn’t processing the Haruhi image. Directly uploading the file taken from yande.re doesn’t work (it just silently fails). Converting the file to PNG (or any format) and uploading works:

I shall investigate more.

Do you have a copy of the image you were trying to upload? I could check the logs to see what’s wrong.

Image uploads seem fine on my end:

Except for some really large (8000x8000) images. I also upgraded to a pre-release of pictrs last night because it fixes this really annoying bug where images appear broken. But it might have introduced other bugs.

Some (maybe most) of these accounts are likely using custom domain linking instead of a server.

No, I don’t think it removes duplicate images.

Right now: 0.3GB per user per month. This number is probably much higher for other instances because I don’t keep copies of federated images anymore and I’ve been compressing images early on.

This doesn’t include bandwidth and backups.

I managed to bring down ani.social’s monthly costs to only ~14 USD when converted (which includes everything except backups). With 165 monthly users, that comes to around ~0.08 USD with a lot of accomodation.

Lemmy is efficient in resources except in storage (database and images) which grows infinitely. Unless you’re purging older posts and images, it keeps growing (very slowly).

I made it a small badge so people wouldn’t have to feel obligated to donate. But yes, the entire instance has been community funded already thanks to generous one-time and monthly donations!

Oops, I misunderstood how it works. You can add subdomains as your handle.

I thought subdomains were people using PDS. So I don’t know anyone running a PDS. I might try running one just to see what it’s like and actually learn the network.

But here’s an example of @user.domain.com: https://bsky.app/profile/tomoshika.voms.net

I don’t think they’re using a PDS though. In fact, it’s really hard to tell who’s using a PDS or not. I’m not sure what the effect of this is in community-building and I wonder if control over the network is really decentralized. This is really… confusing.

Anyway, the PDS is a lot more complicated than I thought: https://docs.bsky.app/docs/category/advanced-guides

The users with PDS use something like @user.domain.com. Users with just @domain.com are under Bluesky IIRC.
