Surreal. Never read any of Junji Ito's works. I've only seen his artworks through social media. I don't like horror much, but let's see how long I can keep up with this one.
I'm gonna wait for the platinum ultimate mega collector's anthology edition at a 90% discount after 7 years.
Archon Quest Spoilers
Sometimes I forget what happened in previous archon quests (and the story in general). I'm happy I remember Caribert from the cloth tied to his arm though.
His bit with Atossa was really emotional. Especially with the dolls on the tree in his island.
I found Caribert more interesting than the twins for some reason lol. I was a bit disappointed that the traveler doesn't remember their conversation with the other sibling. I was expecting something like what happened in the Sumeru Archon Quest.
I knew there was going to be a gift/ornament though but I wasn't expecting a photograph. It was a bit funny.
Anyway, I can't wait for the next summer event. Genshin Impact's summer events are always fun.
The only screenshot I was able to take:
Due to federation issues between Ani.Social and Lemmy.World caused by geographic distance, Ani.Social has been relocated from Asia to Europe.
Ani.Social was first moved to US on May 12 because EU providers like to ask for my passport and electricity bills. But even in the US, Ani.Social still could not keep up with Lemmy.World. Thankfully, there are smaller server providers in the EU that don't ask for my birth certificate so we migrated there a little over 24 hours ago.
The chart below shows Ani.Social is now on par with other servers in terms of Lemmy.World activity queue in the past 24 hours.
Moving Ani.Social to a region closer Lemmy.World was a last resort option because I'd like to have my servers close to me and to avoid centralizing Lemmy servers in US/EU. However, because a potential fix appears to be scheduled for Lemmy v0.19.5, I felt that we really need to migrate sooner.
I apologize for not announcing the migration and the downtime(s), as I only had time to work on this a few days ago.
We will likely relocate back to Asia in the future when a fix is available.
Because of a problem during the migration, activities (likes, posts, comments, etc) from Ani.Social between May 12 16:31 to 17:47 (UTC) have been lost locally. They may appear in federated instances but cannot be deleted or modified from Ani.Social. This happened because of an unexpected behavior in migrating the database. I apologize for this and I'll carefully review the database restoration steps next time.
(Specifically, I first restored an earlier backup then a later backup after. For some reason, Postgres did not include the changes of the later backup.)
You can now upload videos that are up to 25mb in size and 7200 frames. See example below:
The file size is modeled after Discord's file size limits when uploading files to text channels. Depending on the usage and costs, we may or may not decrease these limits.
info.ani.social is the documentation @koyo and I wrote a long time ago but never completed. It contains information about ani.social such as the rules, guidelines, and FAQ. The aim of the webpage was to provide new users all the information they need to navigate Ani.Social and the rest of the Fediverse.
All the important information displayed in info.ani.social has been copied to https://ani.social/legal and the sidebar. Because Ani.Social aims to be accessible and easy to use for new users, I will return the info page as soon as possible (and possibly in the form of a community wiki).
Other instances have alternative front ends for Lemmy. Some of these look modern and include new features. We have deployed Photon at https://photon.ani.social if you are interested in trying a new look for Ani.Social. Let me know what you think of Photon and other frontends that you might like.
Did you know that when I chose a domain name for Ani.Social, I had a few other candidates? These include otaku.social, baka.social, and nyaa.social. The first two were taken and I was choosing between nyaa.social and ani.social.
I decided to use Ani.Social for an anime Lemmy server because it was direct and straight to the point. I also felt nyaa.social was more fitting for a microblogging platform.
When I have the time, I want to experiment with a few microblogging platforms or other ActivityPub software for nyaa.social. If you have suggestions, please tell me! Right now I have Misskey and Sharkey in mind.
If you have questions, suggestions, or other feedback, don't hesitate to comment, post, or DM!
Thank you for reading this and I hope everyone enjoys their day! :D

which government? there are plenty of those.
Most people in my media classes seem to be so obssessed with the content of social media as opposed to the systems of social media. A lot of other students and professors are only interested in alternative content rather than alternative systems. They talk about the "algorithm" as some kind of sentient being instead of something programmed by people. It's a weird shift in media studies going from concerns over systems to content.
Another one is how people will only watch things that are on Netflix or whatever the popular streaming app is now. Some people have asked me for film suggestions but when they find out that it's not on Netflix, they lose interest even if I provide them with a link to it from archive.org or other very special places.
DaVinci Resolve is much better than any open source NLE. Generally, most closed source media production software is better than their open source counterparts except Blender. Blender is incredible and it gives me hope that other open source software can be just as successful in the media industry.
Out of curiosity, other than fmhy.ml, lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad.ml, what other Lemmy instances were using .ml domains? Also, how are the latter two still running but fmhy.ml isn't?
edit: This has triggered a chain of comments I wasn't expecting. I'd appreciate it if someone can answer on a technical level. Is the latter two using a different registrar or name server which is why it still works for them?
My favorite r/selfhosted comment.
Here's my experience with some search engines:
A Tier -- Gives me the closest results.
B Tier -- Gives me decent results.
C Tier -- Gives me poor results.
Open Source Front Ends - Results quality varies.
F Tier -- It sucks.
If anyone knows of any other search engine not in this list, let me know so I can try it out.
The end credits mention 3DCG and motion capture so you might be right.
