There should be a Kekkai Sensen X Hetalia fanart on pixiv.

BRB going to Slaanesh altar for sacrifice to make this happen.

Well, Apple succeeded. Spotify announced limiting their free tier to 3 months.

what so I only have 3 more months of spotify left? what did apple do?

On this week's Jojo, featuring Vanirra Ice, schiit really hits the fan.  They really trolled the people who haven't read the manga with that ending.

Cuz Cool Ice is too cool for JoJo and gang.

Spoiler: jojo episode 43

Meh, I could care less about Polnareff though. XD

Wow, you actually met some weebs on the job? Damn.

Yeah it was actually a bit scary since I haven't personally met someone like that before (not even at Sakura-Con). I've only heard of them on the Internet. lol

It'll get boring quickly.

Didn't encounter too much loading but I knew what I was getting myself into with these console games lol.
 

  The load times in that game are just painful. I hope they find some way to further improve them even more, but man, if you were an early adopter, yikes. You probably spend more time staring at the loading screen than actually playing in those first couple of hours LOL
 
Can't wait to hop back in myself, but I've been busy as of late. 

Played for around hour before I had to go out. Friend I met up with just platinumed the game today and was telling me how load screens are really killer.

Its a good fight and the upcoming Dio fight is going to be awesome. I'm pretty hype.
 

At work today, I got to ring up some hardcore weeaboo's (big Bleach/Naruto/Death Note fan/only subs/doesn't know Japanese but is really into it) groceries. The first thing I tried to scan was a Shonen Jump magazine book thingamabob and that kinda started a long conversation with said weeaboo. It's my 2nd full day on the job so I was kinda struggling with the produce code things and I got side-tracked a lot about anime-speak. Long story short, the magazine can't be scanned, I have to manually punch in the numbers, and I totally forgot to ring it up and left it on the side of the checkstand. >.>

You guys up there really do have a lot of weebs lol. Working at yaoicon last year I had a few repeat female customers that kept coming back and back to talk to me about yaoi. Even after they ran out of cash/luggage they still kept coming back blocking access to the booth when other customers came by they weren't able see our books >.>
 
On the opposite end of the gender spectrum the same thing does happen with dudes and h at cons. Coworker was telling us how one dude last year was hanging out at our h booth for something like 3 hours one day. I do like talking about h more than yaoi at cons with customers personally as long as they really end up not sticking around too long.
 

  Wow, you actually met some weebs on the job? Damn.

I've been handling some more of my company's social media accounts lately. So many "Hey can you check out this manga I have been working on" messages, comments, tweets. Can't keep up with them all. I talk to so many weebs on the job.

Does anybody know off hand what is the lowest THD+N "high-end" headphone amplifier out there?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/970055861/hybrid-valve-headphone-amplifier

< 0.00008% distortion*
Not too bad for a tube amp!


























*That's totally not the distortion spec for the op-amp, not at all

Sigh...... "Idiots"
I'm willing to bet they didn't even bother to measure the damn thing.
I see your testing rig for output impedance resistance measurement, but nothing for such an outrageous claim on THD?
You have to be kidding me.

THAT game is coming to Steam?
Oh boy....

And it has the English dub! The voice actress for Nana used every chance you saw her to make a bro pun in English. It was horrible and when I was over at a friends place he was just kinda torturing us by playing it with the English dub. Brotaku, Broccoli, Brotagonist, Brobocop etc.
 
Higurashi on steam is a bit more surprising for me.

Heh.



People are having a lot of fun with that demo.
Despite the big balancing issues

In their M2 magazine photo, they list the "distortion" as < 0.001%, which is still really low for a tube amp. Of course these numbers are definitely backed by real measurements, so everything is A-OK, no problemo!

Not A-OK!
 
Saying "ultra low distortion" is misleading, because we don't know if it's talking about THD or THD+N. More importantly, it doesn't say what bandwidth it was measured at, and at what load.
 
If they actually had measurement gear, then they'd have a clue about listing amplifier performance specs, and they'd be more thorough. Therefore, I think they're just parroting whatever the manufacturer told them to specify.

Yeah I know, that was just sarcasm. XD

Most people actually don't bother to list the bandwidth. LH Labs' stuff for example has "okay-" or "pretty good"-looking THD+N values until you realise that they measure with a 90 kHz bandwidth and the numbers will probably lower if they switched to a 20 kHz one instead.

Of course, THD+N values of 0.01% and below are likely negligible for us humans.

They do that so it's hard for a normal person to compare it to other gear that's specified at 20 or 30kHz, which is industry standard. I mean come on, why don't they also give the figure for 20/30kHz. 

 
I'm going to have the 252/202 combo back in house later today, any bets on the 252's THD/THD+N? Stax lists THD maximum 0.01%@100Vrms

I only had once lobster, and it was from a frozen one, i just de-froze it and eat it... was less fancy than i imagined it would be...
