Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed with the response (or lack of) for the post I made yesterday. It was easily one of the dankest memes I've ever posted. Whilst I do primarily meme for myself, some recognition was probably deserved. It was that dank.

How can a Meme be humid and chilly?

I don't know a lot of memes, sorry :( I probably would have said something more relevant if I knew the deeper meaning to it.

You'll always be the dankest in my heart, Kei-chan.

Dampest and most humid?

Indeed.

I wouldn't describe my dream man in any other way.

Apparently one of the most hated words is moist

I'll never get that. "Moist" is a word that manages to flawlessly capture precisely what it's supposed to represent.

Touch something moist. That's exactly what the word "moist" feels like.

^Very true. It's the physical version of an onomatopoeia.

How do you mean?

Maybe. Don't get too down on yourself, we just have to not say anything that the mods will use to make a witty retort about while resetting the number.

Hmmm... How would I go about creating an oval shape with my keyboard? I tried making an O, but it was a bit too round for my tastes. I need something more... horizontally squished.

Mods, you're good at computer stuff. Care to help a guy out?

This is the Diploma font. Have you tried out any fonts?

Just going to ignore the goading because I was already coming into this thread to reset anyway because I'm still sleepy and annoyed that I'm still sleepy.

Sound Shapes went from super comfy to infuriating. Death Mode seems to be about 10% skill and 90% luck.

I have Crunchyroll now.

The "high" streaming quality on Android is shit and the manga app is broken.

Will keep pirating on the side/10

donavannj August 3rd, 2016 1:12 PM

That was a sleepy reset. I have half a mind to reset because I'm still numb in half my face from novocaine from a dentist appointment earlier today, but the Swede's Crunchyroll problem is far more interesting.

Which app versions are you running, and on what device? Most of my quality issues on Android are tied into my home ISP having persistent performance issues. I don't really notice the resolution issues because my phone screen is only 5.2" in size.

I generally stream Crunchyroll via the PS3 app. Which, while unwieldy to navigate at first (you get used to it as it's the same interface as on the PSVita), I generally do not have issues with. I don't have issues with higher resolutions because I'd rather see something in its native resolution than have to deal with a hastily done upscale.

Then again, I generally have none of the problems that most people complain about with apps for whatever reason.

I use the Android applications.

Image quality is glaringly obvious to me on my 9 inch 1536p tablet's screen. Even more so is the sound quality.
The native resolution of current anime is higher than 720p more often than one might think, as well. 900p and 1080p are both common sights. And even with upscaling, the low bitrate and artefacting of a 720p stream tend to make the picture much less crisp and pleasant than that of a 1080p one. Even if it's downscaled to a 720p screen. Hell, especially then.

I'm sure the possibility exists that the app is limiting itself by how it perceives my connection, in which case I'd wish it to bloody well give me the manual choice instead, since I can watch 1080p video fine on other services over Wi-fi. As for the manga issues, they seem to have to do with how sloppily the application handles the storing of pre-loading data. Many seem to share the issue. (It's not like I got CR for manga anyway, so eh. I just won't use it.)

You know, as I take a look at the Crunchyroll forums (granted, a bad idea to begin with) to read discussions on legitimate usability and quality issues, I find that threads are littered with responses using logic along the lines of "I personally don't mind inferior quality, ergo this is a non-issue", "at least you get to watch anime/it's better than nothing(!), so stop complaining", after which some CR representative dryly posts that there "are no current plans to change this", and that's the end of that.
You know, I think it's this that aggrevates me the most. That people defend the issues, as if someone's doing us a favour, rather than providing a premium service.

I suppose, if anything, it should be considered a success in a company's PR if they have managed to create that kind of view of themselves in the minds of its users. Fuck that, though.

Yes, I'm annoyed.

I installed a fan-made application for CR streaming, and my viewing experience is not only crisp and smooth but also void of unnecessary bs. I'm happy now.
