I don't know about Gura, but that's Ironmouse's real voice. It's like that because of a lung infection caused by her immune disorder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironmouse#Career

That was a way more interesting read than I thought it would be.

Very cool how someone in her condition can interact with the world via an avatar.


The first sentence of the wiki says that before that, she wanted to be a soprano opera singer.

Soprano is very high pitched, so she would have had said high pitched voice before hand. The pitch of a voice is not super related to lung capacity, so much as mouth/vocal chord/throat shape


Soprano isn’t really “very high”, it’s just the higher of the two ranges of women’s voice types. There’s soprano and mezzo soprano. Those are the two broad types for women. Within soprano and mezzo soprano there are subtypes, like lyric soprano, coloratura soprano, contralto, etc. (There’s a lot of detail I’m eliding here. This is not just about pure range, but about what kind of sound you can get in specific ranges using certain techniques. Also note that this classification is specific to opera and does not translate to singing in other styles or singing.)

I’ve heard statistics that most women are sopranos. It’s just that most don’t have voice training.

Likewise… and this may surprise you… I’ve heard statistics that most men are probably tenors. Like, 80%.


Well now I feel bad. Ironmouse's story is very inspirational.

> artists that they're exploiting

I thought he pays the artists?


They figure a 50-50 split is exploitation, where there are tens of thousands of wallpaper apps that don’t see the light of day, because they don’t have someone like MKBHD backing them


The old blocking also stopped your posts from appearing in their "for you" timeline. The new blocking doesn't.


This is pure speculation. It's not implemented yet and there is no detailed explanation of how it will work. It could easily still prevent your posts from being algorithmically recommended.


That rumor from when the game launched was debunked


It’s an app because that’s the only way to distribute iOS safari extensions


Ah, I didn't know that.


And Gaina


Aoki Uru will never get made and even if Top o Nerae 3 gets made, one can consider TRIGGER's entire early catalogue and Gurren Lagann spiritual sequels of sorts already.

And that's it for any of GAINA's projects that have been announced 5 years ago now that might have given a hint of them carrying GAINAX's torch.



There must be a rule of that. If you think someone will probably make it run DOOM someday, someone already has.


...and of course they did! I didn't actually expect it to be playable with the knob control like that, so I'm actually even more impressed. I was just expecting it to compile and run, but not necessarily play.


It's a paid-up-front app, so you buy it through the App Store, which means you can use it with any device you have that's signed into the same App Store account. I don't see any in-app purchases.


On the App Store it says: "Up to six family members can use this app with Family Sharing enabled."


That’s for family sharing with other Apple IDs, but for your own Apple ID there isnt a limit like that


The devices don't have any GPS. Instead, they have a unique ID that phones see, and report their location to Apple/Google/Tile. If the network is bigger/denser, then your devices is more likely to be detected, and detected more often.


The version it downloads isn't the version on the disk. The disc version is compiled for the Xbox 360, not the One/Series.


Xbox games are all VM images so im not it’s even sure it’s recompiled as much as emulated. All they are probably doing is ensuring compatibility . Dave Cutler said XBox is a variant of hyper-v.


Yep and each game comes with a weird windows os it runs the game with. XB360 was the power PC one so it has to do something to emulate it -- since hyperv doesn't emulate it may swap the OS or something


I guess it could still use the assets on the disk, in theory.
