I see you like Bad Girl

I’m nearly finished everything I wanted to watch from 2025 Q4.

The only one left is Shuumatsu-Touring. The characters are nice but the plot so far (EP9) is not very engaging. I thought this will be the best so I saved it for last. Wrong move.

It seems that my strategy of watching 1 trailer each and bubble sort the whole season based on my predicted enjoyment, is not giving a good result.

Finished this week (kind of)

• Towa no Yuugure I think this one has the best visual out of roughly 30 I picked from 2025 Q4. Okay-ish story, nothing that will stick with me long afterward. ED is goooood.
• SPY×FAMILY Season 3 It’s been a long while since anime get an audible laugh out of me.

• The Fire Hunter Skipped second season back when it’s airing. Decided to rewatch the whole thing. Not sure if I would watch again if there is a remake in the future. I enjoy the mysteriousness and the world building part up to the end of first season. I don’t know how to describe this kind of “civilization after shit hits the fan” revelation ending, and I don’t remember ever liking any that I have seen.

For 2025 Q4, within the scope of what I watch, I can say without a doubt Campfire Cooking in Another World is the best. (I did not watch the horses)

edit:
forgot to mention Scarlet. I guess that’s how weak it is. Review on anilist already cover most of what I also think.

Made a big purchase of airsoft parts few months back. The parts arrived this week and to set the mood, I’m getting some cute girls with guns ready to binge. If anyone have more, please let me know.

• Sabagebu!
• Upotte!!

Can I have context, please?

how do you rig your character?

I vaguely remember seeing a video of someone modifying a taser to be an EMP using coil wire. IIRC it needs to be close to the target, almost touching it to be effective. At that point, if you have a taser and want to deal some numbers on the creep, just tase them and stomp the glasses.

It sucks, yes. But a platform having massive amount of AI-free human created arts, and advertised so, is prime target for scraping. It might actually help the scrapers even.

Unlike many portfolio websites and image sharing platforms, we automatically implement “NoAI” tags on Cara by default to protect images uploaded to the platform. These tags are intended to tell AI scrapers not to scrape from Cara.

Cute of them to think unethical scrapers gonna comply if they ask nicely “dont scwape pwease” The “glaze” or whatever poison they use will get beaten with enough time and training material.

Surely they (cara) have good intentions, but I see this as simply offering an option to artists to instead of getting f* by both scrapers and the platform they are on, the artist can get f* only by scrapers here.

Tech bros successfully spawn something infinitely worse than Alegria.

I’m starting to realize how little people know about making art, and how little they think about the art and graphic design they see in the world.

I am oblivious to how normal people react to these sort of stuff, or why business owner decided to use slop. Are they so disconnected that they know no one who can do basic design?

It could be that they want “professional” looking art for cheap free and treated the artists so badly for so long and this kind of situation is the result. If normal people don’t care that businesses are using slop then they have even fewer reasons to care. It’s starting to feel like “the person doing this job don’t deserve to get paid” line of thinking. The Rube Goldberg machine of consequences are so long they probably feel this is completely acceptable thing to do.

I want to see how design/illustration field emerge from the ash once all this shit collapsed, if we’re still alive.

Furthest back that I can remember are Doraemon both films and series from around 80s 90s and some other tokusatsu. All on VHS. Can not remember which one exactly is “the first”. I start early ;)

Then some series that I never watched from start to finish on cable network. Like Ranma, Sailor Moon, Oh! My Goddess, You’re Under Arrest!, Houshin Engi, El Hazard, CC Sakura, Galaxy Angel. I always try to be in time for Sakura and Galaxy Angel airing, because cute girls. Never did, because school.

edit to include Utena… it became a source of running joke between me and a girl next door.

Some certainty with title that marks the moment I start actively seeking out and watching more anime. Probably Sister Princess, fan-subbed, burned on CD-R. Good times.

yeah… about that bread…

It’s quite rare that I felt betrayed by bread.
To be fair, it’s on me buying it not knowing the word “melon” is for its appearance, not its content.

Most of our search result pages feature one or more Instant Answers. To deliver Instant Answers on specific topics, DuckDuckGo leverages many sources, including specialized sources like Sportradar and crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia. We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.

Whatever they are doing over there, it’s not working.

I also noticed that majority of results from DDG are some random website with no relation to my query whatsoever, having bot written article picked up by some SEO trickery. e.g garbage site about cooking (doubt) having tech related article written by bot. These sites seem to have articles for everything.

Another complain is how they detect simple unit conversion (or calculator) query. DDG have converter UI and still shove garbage converter sites up my face, I don’t even know how these sites managed to have some specific “convert x unit a to y unit b” indexed. Annoying AF.

SEO is a broken game and index/crawler should change the way they do things. As it is, I see no point putting in effort to cater to good crawler anymore. Might as well block them all and go back to early 00’s style neighbor links, slap tar pit and anubis on it for good measure.

I would love some suggestion for alternative privacy respecting search engine that have some “sense” of what they are actually indexing.

Will throw this into random corner of my brain and check them out after I empty my backlog… eventually.

My mixed feelings about mech aside, it got absolute banger songs. No pun intended.
Re-sublimity | agony | Suppuration -core-

edit: correcting anime run date

stabbed into chicken nuggets… McNom Opus
wonder if this is a trend/meme in Japan

Too distracted by the dino and not noticing the cup and rectangular thing next to it. What is that? Ice cream?

Just finished To Your Eternity S03 and what I half expected turned out to be true.

There is an unanswered part. This one does not feels like part of the core story and I have not look into source material yet. I’d be grateful to anyone who knows…

I can’t go. Still, I want to know what happened to him, what changed in his mind. Every subsequent films after Summer Wars and Wolf Children are slightly more disappointing than the last.

Yup. “Disappointment” would best describe my thought. I remember getting excited for The Boy and the Beast, watched it, get disappointed. Then comes Mirai, another disappointment, worse than the last. Learned not to expect too much before watching Belle.

Went on wiki to look something up…

Could be the writer, could be something else IDK. At the end of the day, what only matters to me is that it’s enjoyable and worth my time. I have not seen Scarlet yet but will treat it as something random from no-name director going in.

Other than absolute masterpieces already listed by other users. These are some that I have rewatched and can think of.

• Non Non Biyori
• Flying Witch
• Gabriel Dropout
• Handyman Saitou in Another World
• Encouragement of Climb

you mean Houkago Teibou Nisshi?
If not for covid situation I think it would have been more popular.

In situation which I have to get someone up to speed on the code base, learn new language or framework, No. I don’t want them or myself on the receiving end of “trained him wrong, as a joke”. Not out of principle but practicality, hallucination will cost me time, time I can use to actually read the docs, or find expert and consult them.

But if you want to build something only for yourself, run a model locally and go ham. I’m not a purist.

I am quite positive that it is AI gen.

• RGB light (can be edit in)
• RAM stick contact pins look too dense to be real
• Thin CPU fan with big hub pointing down while cooler fin lay horizontal
• Weirdly large distance between CPU and RAM socket

We have “Schadenfreude”. We’re gonna need a word for physical pain caused by witnessing such stupidity.
