I have an interesting OS confession to share.

Years ago now, I found myself attracted to one of the users of this site. Between the outlook she had on life, her work ethic, and her dreams,...

The way I'd describe it is that the lack of an option such as Discord is driving people away right now the way it is.

Not to be accusatory or insult anyone, but let's be realistic for a moment....

Have I played this game? Yes.

Did I like it? Meh - not so sure; it seemed to make very little sense in terms of the storyline.

I guess, more than anything, it re-iterates the lesson of "If you...

There's never a right or wrong decision for this type of issue; it ultimately comes down to you making the best guess you can based on who you are as a person and both of your levels of commitment to...

Sadly, a cookbook on how to make various types of food you'd find at a typical Japanese dive bar in Tokyo... (Izakaya: The Japanese Pub Cookbook, by Mark Robinson - if you're THAT curious)

Most...

Historically, all of the "official" OS offline meetups here in the United States were down in Texas, usually in either San Antonio or Austin for one of the local anime conventions down there.

I...

Been on a bit of an Invoker stint lately after winning the grand finals of the Nebraska regionals a couple weeks ago with my team due to an incredible Invoker game vs. a raid boss-level Medusa.

Hey, folks. I recently picked up the MangaGamer Humble Bundle game package, and would like to offer you the Steam game redemption codes for the games in the bundle that I already owned. In other...

The profile pic says it all...

To offer a network engineer's explanation of why this happens, it's because the DNS servers that your ISP is providing to you are flaking out. Sadly, this is an all-too-common problem with some ISPs,...

Thanks for your interest; I don't have any videos of them yet. I'm scared to make demo videos at this point because I was in a rut for a while where building these for clients was consuming all of my...

I've played MtG off and on for years, although all my decks are Commander or Vintage-legal; Standard got too expensive to competitively keep up with.

Spice and Wolf brought up a lot of contemplation for me in the sense that the business/economics aspect of the anime and novels were incredibly realistic, the interpersonal relationships had a great...

Note the 'not' there in my message.. haha

It's been hyped up quite a bit by the usual subscription-based anime streaming vendors as one of this seasons "best offerings". So yea, everyone's hyped....

I normally watch series at the end of the season once the episodes have finished, so I haven't seen many of this season's animes apart from a few recommendations and continuations of series that I...

I've had a very similar problem to this happen intermittently over the last 3 weeks or so, but issue ended up being caused by a routing bottleneck between the ISP at my house (Windstream here in the...

That's correct. In Japanese, as in other languages, there are differing words for different levels of emotional caring.

As you've mentioned, 'daisuki', literally translated as "big like", is a...

To be fair, it's not just Otaku Streamers that has this issue. Many other anime sites that haven't made the jump to 720p video yet or are using an interface that (admittedly, no offense) looks like...

Hey guys, LastVanguard here.

In light of some common mistakes with Handbrake becoming prominent in a few of the uploads around OS (no offense to anyone!), and since I'm frequently asked by some of...

Don't interpret this as an attack on your views, because you raise a legitimate point. Allow me to offer my perspective coming from the opposite end of the spectrum.

America is desperately trying...

They trust me implicitly now, although that wasn't the case 10 years ago.

My Dad's mostly been the kind of guy who always views his kids as "kids". As such, he formerly "always knew better" than...

What I did in this area was to get an under-desk elliptical peddling unit. Since I'm often sitting at a desk for work, at home writing web code or encoding, or just some casual gaming, this helped me...

Allow me to give you an opinion from one who's actually been to a Lindsey Stirling concert.

She's quite good, but the majority of her "grace" when playing comes from her ability to "feel" music...

Probably a bit cheating for me, but my repertoire would include:

Guitar
Bass
Drums
Piano
Sitar
Mandolin
Celtic Fiddle
Chinese Bamboo Flute

Honestly, do a lot of introspection.

Some of the dumbest mistakes of my life were made while "in love" with someone. Strong emotions have a tendency of making you look past faults in someone else...
