yeah makes it perfect for reading Dujinshi

Which monitor is it? I spoiled myself by getting a 17'' 1920x1200 laptop earlier last year and can't stand any lower resolution. :p

That promo makes me realize how creepy things can get. This is what I learnt from the promo: BLOOMERS! GIRLS WITH BIG GUNS! YAAAAY! PROPELLERS!

Nothing's creepier than trying to westernize an oriental art. It's like western power yoga.

Currently watching this at the moment. Hard to come by anime like Over Drive, it's good so far :D

Radish?

:D It's already on my playlist. It's the next thing I'm watching after finishing the xxxholic OVA.

I have Over Drive, Nasu and a few other sports anime lined up for me to read and watch before I run my half marathons this coming spring. :D

Cool, recommend me some sports anime? :) I've got some in my MAL lined up, like Hajime no Ippo and Slam Dunk.

Radish™

I suggest reading Slam Dunk if you don't like the dated animation. You have basically named all the good sports anime right there. ALL the gems of the sports sub genre are manga. I would recommend Touch, H2 and Ping Pong (amazing Seinen manga).

The rest of the sub genre is full of drama and teenage conflicts. If you do think that's your cup of tea, then check out D-ash.

I'm actually going to be watching Yu Yu Hakusho (the arc in which Yusuke goes under Genkai's training) and GTO (and prequels when Eikichi was a badass delinquent) too for motivation since there isn't any other anime or manga that has that tone. I have yet to come across another anime or manga that can beat Over Drive when it comes to sports.

also yes something more than video quality is going to be lost with that show.

The manga is written by the same author of Black and White, which led to the visual masterpiece, Tekkon Kinkreet.

Might have a look-see then as I loved watching Tekkonkinkreet on the big screen.

Yeah but finding wallpapers for isn't so great so i end up using dujin pages and photobook pictures.

Have you checked out animepaper.net? It's the best user made wallpaper resource. You have to be a contributor to its forums to download though.

Here's where I get my wallpapers. >:D

NSFW: http://nik.bot.nu/ (There's plenty of ecchi/hentai wallpaper)

It scrapes 4chan wallpapers and other resources that I never figured out. You can search by resolution size, keyword and almost every other method out there. I hope it's useful.

Soul Eater is quite possibly the best Shounen anime series I've come across since Eureka Seven. Think of Bleach (demon souls, crazy swords) and every successful aspect of a shounen series from curvacious women to slapstick comedy to cat girls. The high production quality and bland J-pop/rock and attempt at English/Japanese slang scream high quality shounen.

It's a must watch for all you Bleach watchers and readers!

it's not like that most of the time but it does remind me of yee old geocities sites that had nothing but gifs on them.

They could just leave the background wallpaper as black or white instead of stars. :p

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
