OS-tan Talk / Re: OS-tan hot takes

Last post by Lily1027 - Today at 01:51:20 PM

Under this logic would Nanami and all the other Madobe's even count as OS-tans?  They never refer to themselves as OS-tans. They also never appear with any known OS-tans. at least as far as I am aware.

Cannocinally no, cannocinally Madobe Family and OS-tans are not related to each other, but imo it feels less off than with the Merryweather's universe.

Technically yes, because it's anime humanization of OSes and other computer related things.

I just wanted to say that I like to see the OS-tans (with the Madobe Family) and Merryweather's comic as two (or three if you don't consider the Madobe Family as OS-tans) separate universes.

Just memeing as warm-up sketch about the age old joke about every new Windows demanding obscene amounts of hardware resources, Vista having been just the same.



Vista had quite Windows 11 type of launch because of the hardware requirements, however Vista didn't straight up lock people out from upgrading. Aero did require a graphics accelerator, but Aero could be disabled.

Doing a bunch of work on the wiki.

New articles for:

• EDVAC

• TOS/360

- Updating bio avatars throughout.

- Adding references to first appearances for a ton of other characters, mostly pulling from More IBM-tans.

O nice. I forgot about her tbh, but I like her design and think it fits well with Vista.

OS-tan Talk / Re: OS-tan hot takes

Last post by Goujer - Yesterday at 09:17:54 PM

I would say that the Merryweather's series are not related to anything OS-tan or anything-tan and that it is its own separate universe. The main character doesn't even use the "tan" suffix and uses "chan". And as far I know, Merryweather never said that the comic is OS-tan or anything with tan related. The "OS-tan" has been used as an umbrella term for things like Browser-tans, App-tans, etc. But what I meant was that I don't think that the Merryweather Internet Explorer comic falls under any of this.

But I think why people considers some universes that are not related to OS-tan OS-tan is because here is honestly no other know fandom that is about humanizing OSes.

Under this logic would Nanami and all the other Madobe's even count as OS-tans?  They never refer to themselves as OS-tans. They also never appear with any known OS-tans. at least as far as I am aware.

OS-tan Talk / Re: OS-tan hot takes

And another hot take of mine is, I hate when people says the Merryweather Internet Explorer-tan (and other characters from this series and the whole series) are OS-tans. Those are two separate universes, I mean, I don't mind crossovers or AUs or anythings like that. But I mean it when the context is meant to educate about OS-tans (like wiki or video). It really feels like the person who made it just went to google, found the first image, and told themself "it's humanized ..... so it's OS-tan" and started to find informations about the character even though it's not OS-tan.

I feel like it actually wasn't been never called officially OS-tan comic or anything. But as i've mentioned before, some people just sees something humanized related to technology and immediatelly goes "it's OS-tan".

Anthropomorphizing something computing-related =/= making an OS-tan IMO

Could you provide the quote in Japanese? I could try to find the meaning of that.

こしこしあんあん, but I've already done plenty of looking and it's been inconclusive. There's a distasteful doujin with it as the title I've ruled out already as the origin;

-A doujin that used the term in its title. This was quite easily disproven as the term's recordable usage dates back to October of 2007 which predates the doujin which was published in May 2011.

Meaning the doujin appropriated the already-existing term from somewhere.

Completely missed/forgot that this Vis-tan was also called Ultima-san. Always just called her Vis-Tan/Vista-tan.
It's been a while since I've drawn Vis-Tan.
