64gb of ram is very useful for 3d modeling and other hobby arts.

Used to be cheap AF too. Shame

Shouldn't a wishlist mean that it isn't shipped at all though? Why would wishlisting expose your home address?

Yeah... As someone who uses fightcade occasionally, moderation on these services when they're non-federated are a real problem.

I think it's pressure to try to get him to pull out of deals with Chinese memory manufacturers.

It isn't going to work though. The industry is too fucked right now and apple needs to partner with Chinese memory manufacturers if they want to produce hardware this year.

Cool. Wasn't sure about the idea of more evangelion but I'll keep an open mind. It'll be interesting to see what Tsurumaki has left to say in the Eva universe and it's definitely very interesting that Yoko Taro is working on the script. So it's easy to say it beat my expectations.

Wouldn't it be better to just make downvotes clamp to zero?

I get not liking the rat race of up vs down votes, but the scoring is designed to help spam prevention itself.

Is there some sort of public blacklist of known youtube channels made with AI? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

It will still show the channel in search results, which really sucks if they're a prominent channel in a specific field.

I find it so crazy that there's no "Ignore this channel" feature on Youtube.

Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to prevent people from blocking or ignoring channels they hate?

[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 42 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Used products in Japan are generally stupidly cheap. Something about the culture makes it so that people generally look at old devices as worthless and non-new devices are occasionally shunned.

Anyway, good write up and grats on the PSP. Good luck with the next one too.

Matrix Space? (lemmy.zip)
 

Hi Ani.Socialites

I was curious if there's a matrix chat room for ani.social for meta discussion and for interacting with the broader community? Even if the scope of this room was reduced, it would in theory be nice to have a place to have some meta discussions and support chat.

I'm trying to reduce my discord usage so having an anime community would be a great help.

Lemmy.zip (my instance of choice atm) has this on their end, for example.

Thanks!

Lupin the IIIrd Immortal Bloodline : US Screening (Spoilers/Reactions/Discussion) (lemmy.zip)

I went to see Lupin the IIIrd Immortal Bloodlines in theaters today, which is currently having a limited screening in the US before having a digital release sometime later this month IIRC. I believe this film has already been seen in theaters around Italy and Japan, but this is otherwise the first day for the film in France / US and Canada from what I can tell.

I'm going to be brief about the film, only to gather my thoughts more later and revisit this thread tomorrow with further comment.

Spoilers ahead. If you don't want to see them, back out.

spoilerBoy, I really wish this film was better. As a huge fan of most of Takeshi Koike's works, I was really bummed out that this movie didn't live up to his legacy as a director.

There are some redeeming qualities to the aesthetic and general art direction, but most of the dialog of this movie drove me nuts with how expository it was. A significant chunk of this movie is characters talking about Muom and how he is immortal, and since the characters are split up for most of the film, it becomes a telephone game where each character is responsible for telling the others that they're immortal. At a certain point, it was too silly to even take seriously.

There are various characters introduced (new villains or side characters) who are unnamed, and various named characters who return, but most of those character either vanish part way through the film with no explanation or otherwise serve no purpose to the plot other than just... existing. For returning character, I'm talking about Yuel and Hawk, who felt like they didn't need to be in the film at all. Hawk gets demolished within the first 5 minutes of him showing up, and that is immediately after showing a flashback where his head is cut off. There were a few new characters as well who show up and do effectively nothing, but I'm not even sure if these characters were given a name let alone a reason to be in the film.

There's also some major pacing issues with this movie. There are sequences in this movie with inexplicable time skips and reversals; This includes some ludicrous usage of flashback to serve as a deus-ex machina for how the gang wins by the end of the film. I could tell immediately that the movie was going to have pacing issues when the recaps were doing a pretty awful job of selling me on movies I had already seen before (that were a lot better than this one!)

Hmmm.. I don't know. There's probably more I could say, but I'll have to sleep on it. Overall, I'd say that I'm glad that Koike wrapped up the movie and that we finally got it, but I can't say I'm entirely impressed by the penultimate (? final?) film's overall plot. I've been seeing people on other communities talking about how this all leads up to the 1975 film Secrets of Mamo, but I still can't shake the feeling that there are major leaps of faith the movie takes with the plot that are simply hard to follow and not just part of some larger idea.

Want to keep this thread up for discussion about the film, if anyone else on the fediverse wants to talk about it or has seen the film previously in Japan and want to share their thoughts.

CrowdBucks is a new payment system for the Fediverse (wedistribute.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/34716680

This was initially demoed at FediCon 2025, but CrowdBucks is an open source, self-hostable fundraising system that allows people to financially support one another. You use your existing Fediverse account to hold a fundraiser, and can also donate to other people's fundraisers as well. The form factor is kind of similar to Kickstarter or Patreon.
