TROPHY CASE

Remove /r/atheism from default. Regardless of how popular, NO partisan subreddit should be a default, because that makes reddit itself partisan. by [deleted]in ideasfortheadmins

[–]Simmerian 1 point2 points ago

Default subreddits are determined numerically and always should be.

Determining default subreddits numerically means the defaults can never change. Once a subreddit becomes a default it gains subscribers at a much faster rate than any non-default subreddit. The subscriber gap between the lowest default subreddit and the highest non-default subreddit (that has never been default) is more than 300,000.

It's a flawed system that favors the already default subreddits.

Don't worry guys, Blizzard said always-online is only there to improve the player's experience.

Did we invent the words 'downvote' and 'upvote'? by MyPotPiein TheoryOfReddit

[–]Simmerian 13 points14 points ago

Upvote used here (2003): http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=271393

Conclusion: PerlMonks used upvote/downvote before reddit.

Game of Thrones is on pace to become the most pirated show of 2012. by jabberwalwalin entertainment

8-9 months after it finished airing on TV. Three weeks before season 2 aired.

"Douyu no Sou" by Kazumasa Uchio by Simmerianin ImaginaryLandscapes

[–]Simmerian[S] 1 point2 points ago

Sadly there is not, as far as I know. Uchio likes to put those dragon-like creatures in his work. Look at the cloud in the middle, for example.

That's about what I came up with, but it didn't really sound like a title. I'm guessing there's a better way to translate it.

As far as I know, no.

Feel free to translate the title: 同憂の想

Posted this on /r/SpecArt a few months ago but it didn't get many votes. Probably more suited for this subreddit.

Apparently the original resolution was 28000x6000 - too large for him to post. He did, however, post a 2900x2000 clipping of the left side which you can view here: http://i.minus.com/irxEgdedkGrVM.jpg

They only have 1 album, 1 EP, and 1 single right now. The good news is that their 2nd album comes out in week.

Nice list, found a few I'll be checking out. I'll add a few artists not on this list that may be worth mentioning.

SPECIAL OTHERS - Laurentech : Post Rock, Jazz. Very uplifting music, great for when you're feeling down.

Jizue - Rain dog : Nu-Jazz, Post Rock. Somewhat new band with a style similar to Mouse on the Keys (also worth checking out). Nice if you want something a bit more jazzy. They don't have much out at the moment.

sgt. - cosgoda : Post Rock. Another jazzy band. Their music is pretty well executed.

Anoice - Kyoto : Post Rock. Their music is pretty calm and ethereal.

Hopeless Local Marching Band - Lose Mass (mp3 link) : Post Rock, Experimental. Found this band pretty recently. Their style is sort of like World's End Girlfriend/Kashiwa Daisuke.

Got this from a friend of mine, need ID/appraisal please. by Virus1112in whatsthisworth

[–]Simmerian 0 points1 point ago

Oh, oops. I copied and pasted this from elsewhere once I had the first few characters. A few results had that character included. Didn't notice I copied it.

Not sure about all of those, but I think some of these were found in the code of one of the recent updates?

I definitely posted this a month ago...

Yasunori Mitsuda composed this track. I'm sure you guys all recognize that name.

La-Mulana WiiWare cancelled for NA and EU. Nicalis says "there's definitely a chance for it on Steam." by Simmerianin gamernews

[–]Simmerian[S] 2 points3 points ago

It's a port, with updated graphics and music, of a well-known freeware indie game. It's a 2D Metroidvania style platformer and it's sort of like Indiana Jones (you play as an archaeologist exploring a tomb, trying to solve a mystery).

It has been well received but it's known for it's extreme difficulty. It doesn't give you much guidance, it has difficult puzzles, and is difficult in general. This was an intentional design choice by the developers, who didn't like the lack of difficulty in other games at the time (2005 is when it was originally released).

Katawa Shoujo getting some love from Kotaku by Araragiin visualnovels

[–]Simmerian 1 point2 points ago

It'd be nice if there was more media attention, but I think KS had different circumstances than other visual novels.

KS got lots of attention because it was a visual novel that spawned from a 4chan thread, was made by regular people from around the world, and had been 5 years in the making. There was lots of hype, so a few of the popular gaming news websites decided to report on it.

Actually, it seems I didn't resize it. Thought I did.

Here it is completely uncompressed (7.92MB) though: http://i.minus.com/ibzaoyEMpsKiYG.jpg
