As much as I appreciate hi-rez scans and uploads, sadpanda has been pretty ruthless with a lot of recent doujinshi and the filesize (at least for the artists I follow). 500GB for an 84-page gallery gets tedious. I've been meaning to find a good way to resize the images while retaining the quality but I kept balking at the idea of wandering into a conversation about that on /g/.
sadpanda is going down slow, there's been a dramatic decrease of good doujins and a dramatic increase in absolutely z-minus-tier commissioned genderswap
To be honest, manga should compress well with PNG, with a color palette of maybe 32 shades of black and gray, and large swaths of white pixels. A lot of people don't optimize their PNGs, though. I run all mine through oxipng to drop them down to minimal filesize. It makes them load slightly slower (only potatoes or embedded devices should see a difference), but it's worth it. The reason most things don't actually save at max compression is it takes time. Optimizing a large PNG might take a few seconds on a single thread of my 13900 (and it only uses multithreading to do multiple files at once).
The color has been like this for a long while, it just goes from oldest (red, most intense light before white) to newest (purple (pink? am I colorblind?), most dispersed (perceivable) light before black).
you are the casuals
Okay, kiwi is kind of better than 4chan by what I’ve heard. You literally just got salty over a forum that is meant to be salty.
Sure, we're all probably being milked for content now, live lolcows in action. But here, in all seriousness, I'm regretting being a bit too cavalier because after being about the diaspora here and across other message boards, I'm after realising there's lads that are a bit worried and upset about their identity being leaked. I'm a millennial/gen X and jaded as fuck, so I don't really care, but not everyone's attitude is as suicidal as mine. Some people are legit worried they're going to be ruined for not even breaking any laws.
i mean, it was ALWAYS a risk tho, wasnt it? like two brian cells rub together and surly, somehow, someway, you get a spark of a thought that goes something to the tune of: "if i name shitwood AND shooting him in the head together, will i get this back on me?" or if one states: "hey for power stations, dont shoot the big bulky things but go for the porcelain bushings bc they have metal rods in them that will release and those are all special order with multi month lead times shipped by rail or by barge"
This place will get worse the longer 4chan is down. Many laughs will be had by everyone.
hmm
I think your soyjack isn't ugly enough, it needs to be an affront to God. You're only about 80% of the way there
