New Website: thegrail.quest
By: SirGalahad Date: September 18, 2022, 10:34 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
@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.

Congratulations on your new site! Here is a BGM to celebrate its

Thank you for the well wishes and the cool BGM! Your support
means a lot
[quote]Wait, so are you rejecting dualism? And if so, does "we

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

SUBTITLE TEXT
[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

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.

You should ask the made-of-plant seasonings that you put in your

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.
