    I don't know, I doubt all of Remilia's family are a bunch of anime folks.

    Never know though!

    Princess Mononoke is beautiful, even to the non-anime kind! :P

    Issue with cherry blossom trees is that they're just so ugly when they're not in the blooming season, or whatever it's called.

    I don't really like anime. I prefer manga, because it's black and white and I have no patience for the pacing in anime. Plus, manga in English is not terrible, whereas I can't watch anime not in English (for obvious reasons) and people get upset when I want to watch anime in English.
    Sorry. :c

    I mostly watch it dub as I can watch it while not having to concentrate on it. Some I watch in sub, but that is only when I try to pay attention. People get upset at it?....So? Just tell them to go fuck themselves. They aren't the ones watching it.

    Some anime has great dubs, like Cowboy Bebop(ive just started it myself).

    Hell, my HP Omen laptop could output 4k decently and even play Binding of Isaac Afterbirth (sure as shit should be able to) so I wonder if even just 4k OS, etc, is really that tough on the computer...

    It's not but he's talking about extremely weak computers. And you need to have HDMI 2.0 or UHD will cap at 30Hz. I'm not really sure how many of those streaming devices have HDMI 2.0.

    I would recommend an Amd apu rather than an i3, but mITX is definitely what I would do for myself.
    Amd GPUs allegedly handles 23.976 a whole lot better than the competition and while power certainly is a factor, CPU power is not.

    AMD APU also helps if you're doing GPU-assisted playback of 720p/1080p content at a 2160p display with better quality upscaling algorithms like Jinc, SuperXBR, Nnedi.

    MadVR is the best video renderer for Windows and I'm not really sure what would be the best for Linux or OSX, my guess for Linux is MPV

    • NVidia Android TV:, there does appear to be a 3rd party software for Linux that should let me stream an x session.
    • HDMI over cat5 from a 'real computer'
    • Build some sort of mini-itx Pc with an I3
    • ???
    • toss an old macbook/macmini on the back

    I don't need to run plex or some other media-server, I want it to display a full screen terminal with ~160x50 characters of text and maybe the occasional iTunesU video.

    Any recommendations?
    Using a raspberry on 4k is like paying a whore to talk about your problems....

    Have you tried either Intel's Compute Stick, ASUS Chromebox, Intel NUC, HP Stream Mini? Not the cheapest, but one of those might work.

    HERESY. Learn JP. >.> Then you can do many more things. I can bother someone consistently about go learn JP to play games that may never get released or takes a few years to get released in the west with crappy localization. >.>

    HOLY CRAP.

    I'd love to see the full images! Those little instagram copies on their own look breathtaking!

    Multiple Canon cameras and a lot of lenses?

    Seriously though, I don't have a clue. I'd ask him but he's apparently travelling somewhere tomorrow and is sleeping.
