fuck now what are they going to do in super without her?

They have time since the current arc's all about the Tournament of Power and so far the character's been MIA for 20 episodes or so. But still, that is some horrifying news. Yeah I'm at a loss for words, it's so sad. I only recently gained appreciation for the Japanese voices, over a year of watching DB Super subbed and never touching the Japanese voices before. So this does affect me, I think this is my favorite moment of her so far in Super.

which is gonna suck

geez she was 57? she doesn't sound it!

It just makes me think of Masako Nozawa, who's 81 and you hear Goku's Japanese voice and you can never tell that's the voice of an elderly woman. Further on that, fuck, if she passed, see this news just makes me fear other members of that cast will get it. Similar feelings I had when Ronnie James Dio passed, and years later Tony Iommi had a cancer scare and I think Geezer Butler, there's sympathy and sadness for the deceased, fear and concern for the living related to them.

WELL FUCK MY LIFE FRIEZA'S ENGLISH VOICE ACTOR HAS C.O.P.D

Unfortunate news coming from Houston today as Dragon Ball Z voice actor, Christopher Ayres, finds himself facing an irreversible lung disease.

PLEASE SOMEONE SAY A PRAYER

I just read about that, his youcaring fund page is linked on r/dbz and it shows that they went over the goal, which is good.

It doesn't say he will pass, hopefully, that's another voice actor I enjoy.

Theres a lot of tension in the Dragon Ball community due to these recent events, I hope it manages to slowly pass.

How so? I don't really involve myself with the community because I tend to get into impassioned arguments that come off being pointless or damaging.

With this and the whole Chris Ayres thing. Imagine losing both Bulma and Freeza in one fell swoop

Oh I thought you meant some heated debate. All the news brought everything I did to a really hard halt. It also dampens release day of USUM and now I'll go into this week's new episode of Super with my head down, so to speak.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
