You might find this site interesting. It's unique and has a nice presentational style. It doesn't have that much of the lain stuff, the author probably realises how lame that kind of thing is.

Sorry, my Japanese isn't powerful enough to carry on a conversation yet.

>>44194

oh snap thanks mate. the site is still lain trash but that's a good think for me. also don't worry about your japanese ability; study hard and eventually it will come naturally!

Let's be the ones who end it though.

I guess this could probably help out. Look for a cool title and click I guess.

>>44581

>>44567

You're not my real mom. I'm going to respond to anyone I want to. Including you.

>>44568

bro....

>>44568

go back

I would seriously trade my soul for imperfect immortality.

>>44527

were you the guy who made the other thread? good thing that you remembered it, even if nobody else really did

>>44532

clairvoyance is the super power you really want to get. then, you can get anything else you want

>>42848

shit i know this is a dead board but if you're still here anon please post that cap

>mfw erodoll was a gook

well that makes sense his art always felt pretty western

Honestly, I'm not even sure if the relics of imagination can capture the inquisitive mind. Do you know how to tell time? It's written on the dime. Do you think it's a crime? Yes, as long as the blame isn't mine.

Four springs and a metal whistle can make a mighty fine tuna sandwich on a nice summer evening.

>>44534

sorry, can you rephrase that?

>>44509

>>44510

Is this the kind of thing we can post about as we make more sense of it, or would you prefer that one or two people solve it and we form an elite /jp/ society? Also, were you inspired to make this because of that comment I made on cryptography here that one time? If so, sorry if I've disappointed by not figuring it out so far.

Nice car taste

Hey Sooks, do you have a secret injun hangover cure? Asking for a friend who is crying in the toilet.

Is it tomorrow yet?

>>44494

>>44472

no fuck you leather man

see you next year

Thanks for the hard work, as always.

>>42769

You look.. disturbing?

>>44183

Let's be fair nothing he made after umineko was really good. My expectations are low but ill give it a shot anyhow.

>>44229

Actually never played that one to be honest so I guess I can't even write what I did. Also higanbana was kind of decent.

Tell me how you liked it if possible.

>>44112

oh shit, I forgot to give one of the @s a dollar sign

that's probably why continuing didn't work

don't use twitscrape's continue feature unless you fix it yourself, otherwise it won't continue

It's not worthless. And I do. Enjoying them is about 40% of the motivation for collecting them.

Having content for review and sharing with others is the majority of the rest of the motivation.

Having absolutely perfect rips of anything at all is but a small portion of what I care about. I only ever go for that when it's actually feasible and reasonable. Such as with video game console collections small enough to fit in a few dozen GB like most of No-Intro; if the most perfect rip is right in front of me already without exhaustive search; or if it's the only version I can actually find.

Regardless of motivation, having the content accessible in the first place is the absolute goal. Perfect rips are just icing on the cake, so to speak.

Having things in a usable format is inherently desirable, even for archival.

Even if you consider it imperfect, even if you consider it of less worth than perfect data, it's still data, which is miles better than NO data. And it's usable data at that.

But I'd go so far as to say imperfections may actually ADD worth. Particularly with the including of subtitles or removal of anti-piracy messages and advertisements. Or in some cases, like this one rip of Qwaser I have, drastically cleaning up the fucking awful scaling for the bluray release by pre-filtering, so that I don't have to waste electricity doing it myself.

I do not like dealing only in absolutes like all or nothing. Because it's absolutely retarding. Literally so. And also generally impossible.

Worth less? Maybe; arguably at least. Worthless? Fuck no. All discernible data has worth, even if it's relatively worth less than other data.

I'd argue that if you ONLY take your philosophy to its logical extreme then it's even more open to attack. Due to having no room for rationality and reason.

Information is cheap, data is invaluable.

Well I guess I'm not actually serious about that, it's just part of my character here.

>>44228

Information isn't always cheap. In fact, people often work to its limit availability to try and make expensive. Especially real life secrets, but also simple media.

Ideally, information for simple media would be cheap and readily available. Maybe not immediately, for the sake of profit and production, but eventually at least.

Ideals aren't realistic though.

Data itself may be considered invaluable, in certain contexts. But data without the information it contains is worthless; simple noise.

Even though the data and format do indeed matter, contents matter more.

Only when the contents are guaranteed to exist and be obtainable do the formats come into play. And even then it is often quite a tradeoff, for space, convenience, and sometimes finance if it must be purchased.

I'd still gladly take a crappy XVID encode of a series from the days of old, if the only other option is not having it at all due to being lost to time.

If I can find a better format then great.

The XVID encode would be worth less, but not worthless, as it still contains the contents however degraded they may be.

I do wish you well though. Archive all you can.

>>44291

Thanks, and sorry if my opinions seem unreasonable. The amount of junk rips compared to proper copies makes it seem like absolutely anything is available on the internet, as long as you're happy with getting an inferior or legitimately incomplete (that is, not by my own insane standards) version. But I guess that's probably not the case, I'd probably have an easier time knowing if I actually downloaded things with the intention of using them.

Unless we start travelling through time and start digitising the space around a master film reel/the first performance of a piece of classical music/the really big fish dad caught but didn't take a photo of, I guess there's no point in trying to archive everything, anyway.

Do I want to archive things to make them more accessible, or just so they can keep existing in some form? If it's the second, there's probably some bullshit metaphysics I could come up with to relieve myself. Otherwise, I guess archiving anything I see would be the best I can do. Maybe I should be a little more reasonable about my goals.
