Spice and Wolf is a masterpiece. Excellent adaptation of the LNs. Incredible VA work on both the Japanese and English versions. Excellent writing, and some of the scene direction during the last few episodes was stunning. Really hope this hangs around to adapt the entire story.
Unlikely to help, but while you’re experimenting: PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_LOG_DIR="/tmp/" WINEDEBUG="-all" fixed some extremely annoying hangs during loading screens for me. Probably a 1 in a million chance it helps in your case, but who knows.
Think we’re getting a release date for 1999 at Tennocon?
Picked up my tickets. Love this movie so much.
Waiting a bit to see what shows actually hold, but currently only watching Spice & Wolf and Kaiju No. 8.
Spice & Wolf is perfect and is following the LNs almost exactly from my recollection.
Unfortunately Kaiju No. 8 is boring as hell. Despite having immense power capable of one-punching kaiju into showers of blood, the MC has spent 90% of their screen time being functionally useless. It’s just such a weird way to write an MC. I get 1 or 2 episodes, but nearly half of the 12 episode run? The pacing needs to pick up 10x. I’m not kidding. We should be seeing kaiju getting bodied every episode. The slow burn it’s trying to structure itself around is not happening at all. Boooooooooo. Pick it up!
RE: Your edit. Votes are public. OP didn’t downvote you. You, however, downvoted OP when they replied to your question. No idea why you’d do that when all they did was answer your question. FWIW I upvoted your comment so it doesn’t get buried, but yeah, people shouldn’t be downvoting posts unless they’re off topic or against the rules IMO. No need to weaponize them.
The biggest red flag here is that someone is trying to derive meaning from Eva, an anime whose religious/philosophical imagery and themes were used “just because they looked and sounded cool” (not a direct quote.) I mean I like it too, but it’s gibberish.
I’ll say this about OSS and the community around it: It’s painfully obvious at times that while the individuals working on these projects (often thanklessly) are brilliant people, they often lack the communication and project leadership skills necessary to make a project thrive. The last few posts I’ve seen on this particular issue have been extremely vague and for whatever reason just won’t come out and say what they mean. They’re verbose, go off on tangents, and beat around the bush. We must first have explained to us the plots of TV shows, movies, and other ancillary things in order to understand what likely boils down to “people with differing viewpoints cannot find common ground.” I see the linked blog post as nothing more than someone trying to work out relatively complex feelings about the time/effort they contributed to a project they no longer have faith in more than an “expose-eh.” Given that people in the comments of previous threads have boiled the issue with NixOS down to a sentence or two, I think this is an accurate view.

Glad this is getting positive reception so far. I’ll be curious to see what gets adapted going forward given the OG anime skipped some things and slightly modified others, but so far this is really close (if not exact) to what’s in the LN.
Very cool! Still early, so ran into some bugs:
Anyway, I like that Foobar can group albums next to their cover art in a playlist. Made visually scrolling through a large playlist much more interesting IMO, and fooyin does it well! Now to see if I can tweak the size of them.
Very interesting. Thanks for the detailed explanation! I’ll check it out.
Freerdp test? I’m curious.
Downvotes with no replies explaining why? This is happening a lot.
I use qutebrowser and still show tabs, but this is a very interesting approach. Thanks for the rec.
Really good. Closer to the book as I remember it.
Also, one of the few shows I’d love to hear a dub of given how good the original dub was. I’ve been listening to the audiobooks of the LNs (which have the same VAs as the dub) and they’re great fits for Kraft and Holo.
All parts in 1hr15m-ish. Got 3 of the parts right in a row and bought the missing one after.
Interesting. I’ve been developing a game with SDL2 and think I know the stutter you’re referencing. I passed it off as an oversight in my rendering code, but maybe it’s as you say. Forcing Wayland does appear to work on my test machine, but integer scaling is broken. Might require some more tinkering or proper support in SDL3, but that’s the only thing that didn’t work OOTB, so not bad.
To have this laundry list of negatives get a reply basically saying “yeah, it’s bad, but we need to impress the stakeholders by forcing a Wayland default even if it doesn’t work correctly” is baffling.
I use SDL so this hits a bit closer to home. Hopefully they can arrive at a conclusion that isn’t harmful to us devs. It’s already kind of a tossup whether it’s even worth it to provide a native Linux build when Proton works so well anyway. I can’t imagine this will help.
What kernel version are you seeing that lockup bug on? I have a similar bug on Ryzen 5 2600x with kernel versions >= 6.7. 6.6 is fine.
More directly: Buy used. Lots of reputable sellers on eBay and their returns policy for defective products is unbeatable.
I just started watching the original!
