I like how he's set up his hovel inside the bend of those water pipes. I wonder if the elp keep him warm, or just add a sense of space.

sentientcarbon posted:A successful anime franchise must be one of the most disgustingly profitable things in the world. So much drat merchandise...and the standards for writing are so low... Actually, anime things always move very little merchandise because the anime industry has a weird Japanese way of thinking about business. This business model also partially explains why you get these anime waifu lairs: there was never any attempt at trying to sell anything to anyone who wouldn't build an incomprehensible moe-moe shrine. What they do is calculate how many people there are that are guaranteed customers, who'll purchase their anime and related merchandise no matter what. Usually this comes out to a few thousand. They figure out how much money they want to make and divide this number by the former number and set this to the unit price. This unit price is guaranteed to be disgustingly high and completely prohibitive to anyone other than insane people with disposable incomes, but there was never any interest in selling to anyone but insane people with disposable incomes. There is no effort to model their businesses on supply-and-demand principles or to truly diversify by bringing in new customers in any appreciable quantity. Making accessible shows that the general public would enjoy, or more importantly, want to spend money on, is rarely or never done. Incidentally, the whole Japanese home video industry works like this; prices are set at outrageous price-points assuming only the guaranteed customers will buy. Anime tends to fail outside of Japan because the Japanese licensors try to force the same business model on licensees whose customers come from a culture that assumes that maybe a normal person would want to buy a blu-ray or something every once in a while; so even say, American crazies wouldn't be willing to pay such outrageous prices. If the licensee actually manages to set a reasonable price for their market you suddenly get a huge amount of Japanese people reverse importing that version of the anime thing back into Japan (animes always have the original audio tracks) and then the licensor accuses the licensee of undercutting them, so they take their ball and go home. It's idiotic and unsustainable and depends upon a niche of shut-ins having practically unlimited coin, forever. tl;dr- Anime moves fairly little merchandise, but it moves it all to the same crazy people, who then post pictures of that merchandise online for threads like this to laugh at. This is How Anime Works.

And recently, some companies have tried to make countermeasures against this, such as in the region-locking of the international version of Persona 4 Arena, even on PS3. Also, Sentai Filmworks, the company that licensed the Persona 4 anime, had to take the Japanese language track off the blu-ray release of the anime.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here and argue that it's a good business practice to assume that sane, average people would not be interested in a vinyl figurine of a busty pre-teen with magical powers and blue hair who is spread-eagled and also you can remove her panties.

I get the feeling the whole reason your example there exists is becuase of that market in the first place. They didn't make Doko No Sex Maid 3 and then said "Ok time to get obsessive weirdos to buy our stuff." they thought "Ok we need to make huge bank off obsessive weirdos." then made Cat Girl:Sex Panties Gaiden.

That poor sap didn't even get a plastic vapor barrier to live on, which in my experience means he's sleeping in cat AND rat poop and piss. Cat's don't like to piss on plastic vapor barriers, so with plastic down he'd only be sleeping in rat poop and piss. Moral of the story folks, don't ever let your life get so bad that sleeping in a crawlspace seems like a viable alternative.

I can't imagine a crawlspace like that has a very big opening to get in. Does he have to crawl in the dirt anytime he wants to get into his hovel? So many questions.

Mind, it was always stuff that belonged in a crawlspace, like support beams, rolls of insulation, etc, but still. There's usually a man-sized hole you can crawl through, and after that it's a matter of reassembling poo poo.

The story I heard about this one is that it's in a tiny house (or apartment or something) and the guy's wife (or girlfriend or something) didn't want a visible computer in the lounge and there was nowhere else to put it, so he built a cabinet for it to go in, and used it with the door open. So it's more of a fold-away computer desk than a weird fortress of solitude. All in all not an ideal solution, but not the worst thing. I believed that until just now, when I saw the handles on the inside of the door and the stains on the floor.

You're supposed to have insulation underneath your floor, though, so it doesn't have climate controlled air or bugs passing through it. Forget the insulation, I'm wondering why there isn't a freakin' sub-floor. Even older homes had a layer of crummy wood as the base layer nailed to the floor joists, and then the nicer-looking, sanded, stained, etc... wood on top.

Lonely Virgil posted:That is not marmite on that trash can, is it? This is horrifying  I live in Florida so it's basically impossible to avoid a roach here and there no matter how clean your keep things. I am utterly terrified of them. I don't know if it's an outright phobia but I can't handle them. I had to deal with one the other night and you'd think I was trying deal with a crazy guy with a knife the way I dealt with it (thank god for having a cat who kept hunting it and eventually chased it around to a spot where I could kill it).
