He's not wrong; making nicely styled anything in UI is a PITA.

with a simple menu like in Nier Automata

If you go and break down all the little things it does, it's actually not that simple. It's not quite as in-your-face as P5's menus were, but there's a bunch of little transition effects -- things like the triangle dissolve when opening it and a particular typewriter text effect that types out characters with deliberately wrong letters before correcting itself. Areas changing color like progress bars -- which can be interrupted and which reverse themselves nicely if the user changes tabs so that you get a transition effect without delaying the user much. An overall styling that's reminiscent of old LCD screens -- which needs to work cohesively with the rest of the game design. Subtle changes to the music when the menu is open. Special animation sequences (e.g. in ending E). Etc, etc. Individually none of them is all that hard, but putting it all together was probably still a PITA for whoever wrote it.

!animepics@reddthat.com -- people mostly post fan art these days, but discussion of anything anime-adjacent (anime/manga/VN/hentai/etc.) is explicitly allowed too. In the past I've posted amusing/interesting stills from shows I was watching, custom image composites, screenshot comics, and things like that.

!anime_irl@ani.social -- "A community for sharing relatable real-life situations depicted in anime."

I'm not sure if I've ever fallen in love with a completely imaginary dream person, but I did dream about my ex once years and years after we broke up. I don't remember what I dreamed about exactly, but I do remember waking from it. The happiness fading as the realization set in that it was all a dream -- I was by myself in bed and none of it had been real. I'm usually pretty good at dealing with solitude, but that moment... that was the most intense loneliness I think I've ever felt.

I noticed while making this list that Lickitung was incorrectly spelled "LIKITUNG" on the third day.

Edit: Also, for Nidoran♂ vs Nidoran♀ you have to look at the picture to distinguish since they just say "Nidoran" but they do say it twice!

I don't know how to do it with KDE's tools, but on the command line with ffmpeg you can do something like this:

ffmpeg -i video_track.mp4 -i audio_jp.m4a -i audio_en.m4a -map 0:v -map 1:a -map 2:a -metadata:s:a:0 language=jpn -metadata:s:a:1 language=eng -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4

Breaking it down, it:

  • runs ffmpeg
  • with three inputs (-i flag) -- a video file, and two audio files.
  • The streams are explicitly mapped into the result, counting the inputs from 0 -- i.e. -map 0:v maps input 0 (the first file) as video (v) to the output file and -map 1:a maps the next input as audio (a), etc.
  • It sets the metadata for the audio tracks -metadata:s:a:0 language=jpn sets the first audio track (again counting from 0...) to Japanese; the second metadata option sets the next audio track to English.
  • -c:v copy specifies that the video codec should be copied directly (i.e. don't re-encode -- remove this if you DO need to re-encode)
  • -c:a copy specifies that the audio codec should be copied directly (i.e. don't re-encode -- remove this if you DO need to re-encode)
  • output.mp4 -- finally, list the name of the file you want the result written into.

See documentation here: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html

If you need another language in the future, I think the language abbreviations are the three letter codes from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-2_codes -- but I'm not certain on that.

I wonder if this will actually cause an increase in the number of security vulnerabilities and breaches as there's now a fairly obvious way for employees to penalize their bosses financially for being assholes...

I've seen 20+ car crashes outside my window in the last few years and cars usually either stay right where they stopped until police (and later tow trucks) arrive in the case of serious accidents or else pull over to the side of the road to exchange insurance information in minor accidents. In some of the moderate cases, I've seen the drivers try to move their cars out of the way of traffic but they still stay at the scene. I've never seen a car pull into a parking lot after an accident despite there being one literally right there where I live.

The Japanese text on the bottom of the left image says: Sapporo (Draft) Black Label beer. I can't tell what the four characters under 生 are though. (Too blurry for me to figure out.)

Edit: those characters might be 非熱処理 -- meaning unpasteurized.
