| New Website: thegrail.quest | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| @90sRetroFan My new website is finally operational. I still | |
| intend to do blogposts (I just uploaded my first one, in fact), | |
| but I decided to do a full-fledged site instead of a simple | |
| blog, since it's more customizable and provides me with greater | |
| scope. I've never created a website before, so this is a | |
| stumbling and awkward first attempt, but I'm still proud of what | |
| I've typed out so far. The content is what's important, and I | |
| can just overhaul the outward appearance later. This website | |
| isn't necessarily intended for everyone within the Aryanist | |
| political and philosophical sphere. It's more of a subculture | |
| within another subculture. The content on the about page is | |
| intentionally derivative of some of the terminology on | |
| aryanism.net proper, but the rest of the website will have its | |
| own character and stand on its own. I wouldn't mind you guys | |
| keeping an eye on me, though. And the reason why I'm mentioning | |
| it here, is to let you know that I am in fact investing my time | |
| and effort into something that I hope will eventually benefit | |
| us. | |
| @rp As I said in our PMs, you're more than welcome to join me in | |
| running this group, since we can theoretically collaborate in | |
| real life. This isn't just going to be an internet thing. | |

| Definitely not. I'm an absolute dualist, a la Zoroastrianism and | |
| Manichaeism. The Devil/Yahweh derives from nobody but itself. | |
| Maybe I should clarify that later | |

| [quote]Auntie? | |
| Where are you, Auntie? | |
| Oh ****! Auntie! | |
| Where have you gone, Auntie? | |
| Please answer me, Auntie! | |
| Auntie, are you in here? | |
| Woah! | |
| Oh it's you, Auntie! So good to see you again! | |
| I was so frightened just now! | |
| What were you frightened of? | |
| I was afraid that you had abandoned me here because you didn't | |
| care about me anymore. | |
| I already told you that I intend to spend my whole life in the | |
| catacombs. | |
| So how would I abandon you? | |
| That's true. | |
| Follow me. | |
| Where to, Auntie? | |
| I'm going to teach you martial arts. | |
| Teach me martial arts? Great! | |
| What the... | |
| I hope you don't mean to tell me that you want me to train in | |
| there? | |
| I absolutely mean to tell you that you will be training inside | |
| this cage. | |
| What?! | |
| Guo, catch this bird. | |
| OK, Auntie, I seriously need a breather before continuing. I'm | |
| totally out of breath. | |
| You've only been training for an hour and you're tired already? | |
| You think you can achieve success in martial arts with this | |
| attitude? | |
| But Auntie, I've been here two days now and have had nothing to | |
| eat except honey. | |
| No rice, no meat, nothing. | |
| I'm a rice person. Even if you fed me ginseng every day I'd | |
| still starve! | |
| So you're saying you have to eat rice. | |
| Are you saying you and Granny Sun don't eat rice? | |
| It's not that we don't eat rice, it's just that ever since | |
| Granny Sun died, we don't have anyone to cook the rice. | |
| What?! So you had rice here all along?! You should have told me | |
| earlier! You may not know how to cook it, but I do! | |
| Not bad at all. | |
| What did you expect? | |
| To be honest, I wasn't even giving it my full effort. | |
| As the saying goes, a cook is limited by the available | |
| ingredients. | |
| Too bad down here in the catacombs we don't have poultry or any | |
| other meat. | |
| So as much as I want to prepare a richer meal for you, I have | |
| nothing to apply my cooking skills on. | |
| All practitioners of our style of martial arts must purify our | |
| sensual desires. | |
| So we can only eat vegetarian food. That means no meat allowed. | |
| Oh come on, Auntie! I mean sure, occasional vegetarian meals are | |
| a good way to detox, but if every meal has to be vegetarian, | |
| won't your mouth end up numb? | |
| Ever since childhood I've been fine with plain rice and tea. You | |
| don't have to worry about pleasuring my palate. | |
| You'd be better off focusing on your training. | |
| Precisely because of your dedication to teaching me, not only do | |
| I promise to train diligently, but moreover I insist on cooking | |
| for you the best dishes possible to express my appreciation for | |
| you.[/quote] | |
| Please post the timestamped version in your reply. I will then | |
| check to see if it works. | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Right now, my process is to have my PC's text editor open, and | |
| pause the video whenever audio starts and whenever it ends, to | |
| manually type in the time codes during those pauses, and the | |
| accompanying English subtitles. Once I'm done, the text file | |
| will be saved as an srt file, and then sent back to you. Is that | |
| about right, or is there a more efficient way of doing this? | |
| Also, when I'm typing things out, I'm supposed to also record | |
| the milliseconds by three digits, but none of the video players | |
| I can think of show the milliseconds, much less in three digits. | |
| The closest solution I could find was going back to the YouTube | |
| page, right clicking the video, and then clicking on "stats for | |
| nerds". But that only shows the milliseconds rounded to two | |
| digits. I would prefer to do it the "right" way, and I've never | |
| done this before, so I don't know if just leaving the third | |
| digit as a zero will hinder the finished product in any way. | |
| Other than that, I think I'm getting the flow of things | |
| #Post#: 21159-------------------------------------------------- | |
| Re: New Website: thegrail.quest | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Okay, I looked at another video on YouTube, and they're not | |
| precise with the three digits either. They seem to only measure | |
| in seconds and half seconds (so either 000 or 500 for the | |
| millisecond field) and that's even less precise than what I'm | |
| doing. So I'm assuming that my measurements are close enough and | |
| won't affect the subtitles. Feel free to still correct me | |
| though, if anything I said above sounded off or non-ideal | |
| Also, holy hell. A bit of a challenge right off the bat. The | |
| main character talks so fast in the very beginning. I'm glad | |
| I've got that part done now ;D | |

| "Once I'm done, the text file will be saved as an srt file, and | |
| then sent back to you. Is that about right, or is there a more | |
| efficient way of doing this?" | |
| Rather than send the file, you can simply copy and paste the | |
| entire text in the file straight into a forum post. This is the | |
| advantage of working with plain text format. | |
| "milliseconds rounded to two digits" | |
| This should be fine. Even rounded to one digit (ie. the nearest | |
| 0.1 second) might be enough. As long as you place yourself in | |
| the perspective of a viewer and feel comfortable reading the | |
| subtitles as you have timed them, it shouldn't be a problem. | |

| Well done! I think you have the gist of it. As this is just a | |
| trial run, I suppose we can waive polishing the timing and word | |
| layout, something which we would do for a real project. | |
| So, if you intend to continue, the next thing to do is to decide | |
| which series to work on. Do you have a preference? | |
| Another thing requiring decision is naming convention. Should we | |
| go with subtitles that reflect the names of characters, places, | |
| etc. as the actors themselves are pronouncing them, or as | |
| standardized in mainstream references (e.g. Wikipedia)? I | |
| personally feel partial towards the former, but admittedly this | |
| would make our subs intentionally unconventional. | |
