ooooh , i like the new banner, the dress is seems a bit stiff but other then that really cute.
I've set up my own Pleroma instance the other day. It seems to be working fine currently, but I still have a hunch I missed something that will bite me later on. If you wanna follow meh, here's the address: @spaztron64@sns.arcesia.net
I edited the message board's post file directly to embed the <img> tag :) This time I went with MMD directly, without the additional LightWave workflow step. The models aren't mine, I probably should've disclosed that earlier. You're right about the missing light though, I should redo the scene with two more lights. Right now there's only one dim, blueish Blinn-Phong light source combined with a bit of ambient lighting from MMD so as to reduce the harsh drop-off from light to dark shading, giving it more of a half-Lambert look. Unfortunately due to limitations of the Blinn-Phong MME shader the monitor screens were also shaded, so I had to render an unlit scene and merge it's unlit screens with the final lit render.
images on the text bbs!? o_o the meshes are good (x69000 <3) but the lighting needs work. i don't know if lightwave is capable of crt distortion, but the monitors need to emit some light. maybe render again w/ 3 point lighting using the monitor light as a backlight. sel has noir elements, so low-keyed lighting might be cool too, but not thematically consistent to the show. low-keyed lighting might also contrast too much with the stylesheet, so maybe not.
Uncanny!
Whipped up a new site banner, a bit of a remake of one of the old LightWave renders. D'ya Like it?
Are you done?
Soon a major American multinational will begin buying Japanese anime studios. Globalization will flatten the world into a single Americanized monoculture. As American corporations rule the entertainment world and audience expectations are manipulated by these industrialists, all cultural difference and uniqueness will be wiped out or sold as a consumerist fad like Buddha statues and yoga. Since 2001, the United States embraced the Clash of Civilizations theory of Prof. Huntington. Since then it has effectively declared a cultural war on foreign civilizations. The war on Islam will be followed by war on Buddhism to make the world safe for Coca Cola and Levi jeans. Consumerist neocolonialism has the structure of a new religion with brands as idols and stores as temples. The Chinese, Japanese, and Indians embrace mimicry of Western culture and American corporate trends inevitably the result will be the strangulation of creativity. The Chinese and Russians have embraced similar theories that make foreignness a sin and promote ethnic and racial hatred. The politicization of art leads to standards of conformity. Wuking is the AAA style video game adapted from a classical Chinese novel with Buddhist folklore. It offended a number of people because it did not express American monocultural values. The game mimics American and Japanese visual style and mechanics and presents nothing new or unique. During the Cold War there were two major global languages. A century before that there were several global languages. Today there is only one and that one is English. From Nigeria to Japan school children learn English as a second language. Interest in classical languages and local languages has declined in a major way and the UN claims many languages are dying out. Since languages are repositories of folklore and culture, the death of languages produces a death of cultures and results in sameness. The struggle between art and capital results in the hollowing out of the art form and the destitution of the artist. We are rapidly approaching a world where we are all identical and one dimensional.
Very cute dolls!
Depending on the era of software you want to run, as well as how much maintenance you're prepared to do, different models will suit you better than others. Since Buyer's Guide 2 isn't ready yet, it's best to ask in the #pc98-beginners channel at the PC-98 Central Discord (http://discord.gg/j2ns7UQ)
I have been interested in purchasing a PC-98 system for some time now, but i am sadly not quite knowledgeable when it comes to old japanese computers, so i was wondering what you guys would think i need to know before getting into them.
nice to see more pc98 prods on the way, hopefully with some real oomph too (still exciting whatever it is if it's for a different platform, lol) the pc98 having text on a separate layer remains a very neat feature I had used jpgv98 to display a "wallpaper" behind the terminal and thought it was the coolest thing at the time.
Thanks miredo! The demo's not much, but it is the first of it's kind on the scene. We do have something cooking up at Otomata Labs though, so stay tuned!
nice site here saw the spinning lemon pc98 prod, very neat
man this is a cool wibsite i found on the internet. bye guys
i would love to, but sadly i am probably a planet's distance from you T^T, (saudi arabia) would still be open to seeing seeing your collection, maybe make a Doll/BJD part of your site, i would love to contribute with some images from collection.
Do tell if you're open for a second hand trade sometime then, Khaludy!
Aha, i have a good amount of BJD's, mostly 1/3's and 1/4's, its a lovely hobby yet its really pricey and space consuming.
it's raining
James: I'll forward your regards to him. Khaludy: I have two 1/6s with me so far, it's a bit of a pricey thing to be into and I have very little room for storing anything more. I aopreciate the regulars here.
foolish mortal, you have shattered the etiquette by prepending an extra 'Re: ' to a reply title. the bbs police, in coordination with RIPE NCC and ARIN, will be eliminating you shortly.
Sorry for the late reply, and thanks a lot spaztron64 for the response, I was just a bit concerned for him as he just deleted the place and dipped. If you talk to him can you tell him that the goatfucker from the old matrix server says hi and wishes him well? Also I am sorry if I broke any BBS etiquette as this is my second time using one xd.
I honestly did not expect to see anything about BJD'S/vinyl dolls here!!1, the dolls look absolutely stunning, are perhaps a BJD/Doll collector aswell?
Put this together yesterday: http://bjd.arcesia.net Have fun!
using the test result is just very easy, but generating one with urandom is much better. (ideally) 8 bits of entropy per char instead of the 5.95 of [a-zA-Z0-9]. at 6 chars and 100 tries per second it would take avg 44627 years & 2x that at most. idk if the field would work with the entire range though, maybe special chars like escape or delete would make trouble. # tcl proc entropyBits permutations { expr { log($permutations)/log(2) } }
What if I piped /dev/urandom into my deletion key? Would that suffice as enough random? I must know! For now they will be the sacred word of the legend Druaga1.
Somebody's done their math, nice!
considering backpacking to a nearby city on inline skates, seems like fun. site looks good in dillo. trick to make deletion keys for the chronically lazy: use sentience test result. pow(62, 6) = 56800235584 = only 35.7 bits of entropy, but at 100 requests/second it would take an average of 9 years to guess and 18 at most.
That's good to know. Anyway, I'm on vacation right now, so I'll be even more offline than usual.

it was me austin! it was me, all along~
I honestly thought it was you all along, doing tests with your custom IRC script thingy.
a user named 'test' is sitting in the irc, it's weird because the addr resolves from a textboard 0chan.vip. anyway, surprised to see you on modarchive spaz, small wired.
hardware manuals are 404 :< the banner is cool though
As explained in the title, I am currently in the process of designing and writing content for the PC-9800 Central Community website, in an effort to reduce dependencies on Discord and it's bullshit. It's still a heavy work in progress, but you can follow along on http://pc98.ne.jp
Dude that was me! The room is now at #los-angeles:matrix.netho.tk
Truth be told, I didn't participate in any of the chatrooms previously tied to this domain.
I finally checked the QR code some chink showed me during a SeL themed panel at Anime Expo 2022. The "Matrix" chatroom is gone now but all this was left. Seeing that kid's face as I pulled out a flip phone to take a picture of his QR code was priceless. I still think about it.

Lele's doing other things now. He had no interest in renewing the domain after I asked him, so I said fuck it and took it for myself, reason being that I wanted a neat gTLD .net domain.
hmmmm I personally have never heared of that name before or of a matrix server on this domain, maybe spaztron64 knows about it.
hi. does anyone know what happened to lelenium? last i remember he ran a matrix server on this domain.
hope you're doing well -r12freon
No problem Khaludy, I myself am pretty busy these days too, but I try to check in whenever possible.
spaztron64, glad its still active, and EVE burst error actually peaks my interest, i am planning on playing it once i get the time, and for Children of Belgrade Metro, i might check it out though my japanese is a bit rough, sorry for the late reply i had been on travel for the past few weeks so its not everyday when i am free to open this forum, thank you for the cool recommendations. :))

An Exchange 5.5 Chat Service (IRC) is now available at arcesia.net:6667.
I should note that it's only a deployment, Midori. The source code is available at https://github.com/spaztron64/jesenbbs Do know that it's pretty bad and I simply haven't had the time to refactor most of the rubbish as of late.
