    Dunno if this deserves its own thread or going into the May'n thread or what, but An auto-translate of the description. Seems to be a Best Hits album, wonder if that's the entire tracklist:

    The Jarrod'sTech YT page just uploaded a video about this. Tl;dr - Publicly, Nvidia says laptop chips aren't affected; behind the scenes, they're asking laptop makers to check laptop GPUs (in some cases on completed, boxed, to-be-shipped laptops) for missing ROPs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pou_chA9FZE Additionally, KitGuruTech wrote about a potential scam where at least one store are withholding RTX 5000 stock from those who have already paid for them and/or claiming there's a RTX 5000 recall, so that they can mark them up and sell them for more. https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/bought-an-rtx5090-be-aware-of-etailer-price-hiking-scams/

    Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

    By the by, the composer/lyricist for the song is フワリ (Fuwari). I wonder if that makes them the main composer for the show as well, or if it'll be a collab effort, etc.

    I wasn't super enamored with the song. Then I heard this May'n take. Then I went back to the Suzuki Minori take. And now I dig it.

    Anyone know what Satelight are up to right now? Maybe they're working on an OVA while Sunrise do the show, which would allow them to explore other music genres as has been the case in the past.

    Is it them missing an opportunity? 9070 XTs have sold out at MSRP, the only ones you can find are $700+ with new stock expected to be relatively expensive as well; 5070 Tis are $900+ so immediately out of the question; and 5070s are expected to have incredibly limited stock and also immediately skyrocket in price. 9070s will be comparatively in stock and at MSRP while everything else is marked up and/or out of stock. If it's all that's available, and it actually holds somewhat to MSRP, then... 🤷‍♂️ ??? (EDIT: Of course, expecting them to hold to MSRP is a big ask...) Given the GPU market is this way and has been this way for forever now, I think I'm extra convinced to just grab that Framework Desktop Strix Halo board instead.

    Watched the first half of Frieren. I gotta say, I think it's been a bit overhyped. Through 14 episodes, it's... don't get me wrong, it's not bad. It's decent, which isn't the diminished praise it might seem like. It just doesn't hit me the way I think it seems to have hit a lot of people. A couple nitpicks: I hate the generic fantasy world. I hate how artificial the job classes feel. "I can't do antivenom magic because I'm a mage, not a monk--" Why? Why does that make a difference? You call yourself a magician, you study magic, you've spent a lifetime collecting magical spells. Why? I hate the in-fight commentary. I had hoped that the limited fights, being so infrequent, would be snappy and slick when they happened. Instead it's *do move**do countermove* "I see I underestimated you. You were hiding your skill level all along, blah blah blah, <padding out the runtime here>..." "Indeed, I knew you would do this and so I yap yap yap <padding out the runtime there>..." It reeeaaally dragged down the pace of that city-making-peace-with-demons sequence, especially when they started explaining to each other exactly the thing they just spent two episodes explaining to YOU, argh... I think I may have been spoiled by other stories that already dealt with similar subject matter. Love, mutual and unrequited, across time in 5 Centimeters Per Second. The slow but inevitable passage of time and opportunity in The Remains of the Day. Looking back on one's life in Millennium Actress. And so on. That last one especially, ugh, it never fails to pull at my heartstrings... I hope, now that characters seem to be established and roles filled, the second half of the season really starts going in interesting directions with all of them.

    Don't worry, that live-action movie is coming out any day now. Any day now...

    So I'm finally starting on Frieren after all the hype. I didn't realize it was an old-school 26 episodes long. I thought it would be the usual nowadays 12-14 episodes only. Did it release in two seasons? On Netflix it shows all 26 episodes as a single season.

    Consistent criticism tells me that these figures are pretty poorly-designed, poorly-constructed, poorly-everything, and not worth it - especially at the marked-up prices they're asking now - unless you simply MUST ABSOLUTELY get a figure in this specific style. I got the Bring Arts Xenogears figures before they started jacking up the prices on them. Fei, Elly, and the two Weltalls, and that was it. I'm glad I got them early in the line's existence.
  12. kajnrig
    Very much ymmv.
  13. kajnrig
    I'm seeing talk about it potentially being down to a simple typo in a config file. Does the video cover that? They spell "resolution" wrong or something, and fixing it claws back a ton of performance. Dunno how true that is, just hearsay, but it wouldn't surprise me. Capcom and embarrassing typos seem to go hand in hand.
  14. kajnrig
    Indeed.
  15. kajnrig
    Yep. The specific graphs do show a disparity between raster and RT, so that's something to keep in mind, but essentially it's a 5070 Ti for $150 less... assuming both at MSRP. If 5070 Ti prices don't drop in response, and 9070 XT prices stay anywhere near MSRP for any significant length of time, the difference will only be that much starker. What's the average price of the 5070 Ti right now, $900? $1000?
  16. kajnrig
    They have a slide comparing 9070 XT to 5070 Ti, for a simpler comparison. For whatever reason, it seems to have flown under the radar despite showing up in the official presentation. As usual, take first-party claims with a grain of salt (video timestamped, but 27:00 if not): -2% 4K performance -23% price +23% "performance per dollar" +2% 4K performance if OCed

    No, you're not wrong. That's the poster for the third movie, not the fourth movie. ...is what I was going to say before I fact-checked myself and indeed that IS the correct poster, just the wrong name on the poster. Oy vey.

    So she's not stepped down yet, just actively looking for a successor? That's also far better treatment than ex-Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger got last year, which was exactly also as Seto described, just a sudden "it was the honor of my lifetime to lead XYZ etc." announcement and a retirement package. Well, whatever it is, I'll be sure to check back when they announce a good reboot of The Acolyte. Dunno why that show in particular elicits such a response in me, but alas...

    EDIT: I unfortunately don't have pics to compare size. A 1/48 VF-1 will be slightly larger than most 1/72 modern fighters/other 1/72 VFs, so it should feel pretty much at home among them. The only obvious discrepancy will be the cockpit/pilot. You could maybe transfer a 1/72 VF-1 cockpit tub and pilot over; I've thought about doing that but have never gone through with it.
  20. kajnrig
    That's really funny.
  21. kajnrig
    Very nice. On a related note, I was so disappointed that his VF-22S was basically just a cameo in the OVA. I was really hoping for some budget to have been thrown his way.

    Don't mean to double-post, but I have a question for everyone: After listening to some of the M7 songs on Youtube, it's as I suspected and the M7 music is actually fine, just the audio quality in the show was incredibly crap. Mylene's vocals especially were barely audible, and everything overall was pretty muted and flat. Was this the case for anyone else, indicating that's just what to expect from the stream, or is there perhaps a problem with my setup? (All other shows/movies were fine, BDs sound fine, games sound fine, etc.)

    Anakin lookin' like an angry little dwarf.

    You think so? I didn't exactly pay attention to the lead-up; all I remember is it was billed as a very brief short story to accompany Zettai Live!, which it is. It doesn't do a lot, but it does take a step towards a full-on happy ending for the Frontier movies instead of the bittersweet one Sayonara no Tsubasa leaves us with. It wasn't necessary, but it didn't hurt, and it came with a bitching new Ranka/Sheryl duet, and the Frontier cast are always fun to watch, so I dug it. I can get feeling cheated, though.
