No they can't.

Q: "I have found a dead link, will it be reuploaded?"
A: "Unfortunately no..."

Most of the DL links don't work. WTF?

GROSS!! The end credits are hard-subbed. I'll pass on this.

None of the links work. WTF!!??

Can you tell us which authoring software does that by default?

Thank you!

I suspect the OP may have been drunk posting considering how many files they posted this to, or they have some derangement syndrome. I doubt it will stop anyone who likes this groups releases from downloading.

Software encoders using hardware encodes as a source. Even BD's are hardware encodes.

All that yapping to say nothing significant.

Enough already...
Since you and others are claiming hardware encodes are so bad quit watching CR, NF and others.
BTW quit watching BDs since they are hardware encodes also.
I think most here would agree that those releases are good enough for them.
Are they the best? No, but there are plenty of software encodes that are done poorly here also.
The anon that was shitting on all the INDEX releases just because they were hardware encodes is IMHO just being an ass who most likely watches CR, NF, BDMV etc hardware releases and I don't see him jumping on those.

Since when there's any need to explain why hardware encoding is bad?
You(plural) dont know? Why don't you(plural) do a simple research online? Or even just ask the AI?
This guy made the god's work and shared an extremely important information about these releases, and you go and delete their extremely useful comments? Doesn't really make sense to me tbh :/
Unaware people come here to download a release and read "AV1" and think that this will be like every other AV1 release, and instead they are downloading crap.. not to mention that these releases have FLAC audio..... with AV1..... it should be clear as the sun that these releases are, to say the least, disgraceful.

Anyway, if u really need an explanation fed to you(plural), I just found a good one here: https://nyaa.si/view/2042076#com-3
In short, using a hardware encoder is only convenient for the encoder(person), because it will take less time and effort from them, not for the users, which will get an encode that's literally crap, because it's simply meant for real-time applications, not for downloadable content.

I am 100% sure they meant to write "hardware encoders", otherwise their statement contraddicts itself.
Their brain must've farted for having to explain such basic knowledge.

Yes.

Software encoders are better quality though. It's hardware-encoded releases that are inferior, as they are meant for realtime applications like livestreaming where quality isn't a concern.

Thanks for the fetch!

Thanks for your comment, but it'd be more helpful if you explained why you're suggesting readers shouldn't download.
In fact, if you're convincing enough, you don't even need to say "DO NOT DOWNLOAD" as the reader could come to that conclusion themselves.

You don't need to post this on every historical entry (especially those that already have comments discussing the issue). There are measures in place to prevent duplicate comments, and I don't look fondly to those trying to work around these restrictions - I've removed most of those comments.

This is the funniest "I don't have a nyaa account" crashout, I have ever seen.

Potential zip virus?

You should stop, the more you comment the more you ridicule yourself.
If you lack knowledge about the topic, you should simply avoid commenting.
You have absolutely no idea what hardware encoders are and what they are made for.

And the award for the dumbest take today goes to...

You!   Crapping all over someone's releases just because you think they are trash is asinine. I could have a field day here crapping on all the releases I think are trash. But I have some class and keep my mouth shut.

And the award for the dumbest take today goes to... Anonymous n°??

The whole discussion is about right and wrong, not like and dont like.
The releaser is sharing trash content to unaware users, OP simply made them aware. You should thank him.

Attacking a bit of software You don't like and fansubbers you don't like!

Most people visit & download what they like.

Unless the subs or dubs have errors that make them difficult to understand or contain malware or intrusive promotional material, I ignore the comments.

A strangers personal like or dislike means nothing to me.

I like what I like.

>  most people here pick shows on size because they watch and delete.

You've just proven that OP did the right choice spamming that info all over his releases.
MINI releases with FLAC audio and encoded with a SOFTWARE encoder are literally the LAST release they could ever want to download LMFAO.

> Don't you have any standard?

Of course I do, I'm an archiver of shows I like so I pick quality.
But most people here are not archivers and pick shows on size because they watch and delete. Most are watching on small screen portable devices.
To come here and shit on a bunch of releases is just poor.
I'm now done with this topic because I've said all I need to.

Based Kimiko/Index hater

^ this message was meant to go in reply to another one above, if possible, delete it

Don't you have any standard?
Moozzi2's releases, as well as ANY other badly filtered release or even SOFTWARE ENCODED release IS unequivocally BAD.

Or are you trying to tell me that if you have to choose between:
- [badly modified, unfaithful to the original and wrongly edited content] and [faithful to the original content]
OR even
- [someone with actual competence that uses the correct tools for his job] and [someone that has ZERO idea of anything that regards what they're doing]
you would pick the badly modified one and the incompetent one??

^ Does this below help u understand A LITTLE more?

Also, I think that OP decided to take a step in after this shit take ->

Comment n°1 under his demon slayer release:
Nvenc again for those who don’t go look at the very bottom of the mediainfo

Mr_Kimiko's reply (https://nyaa.si/view/2042076#com-2):
What are you even talking about??? Does that even mater? No.

indeed a pink cat

> Does this mean that Moozzi2 encodes are good?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just because you and I don't care for Moozzi doesn't mean everyone agrees, one shouldn't be trashing a release when no one asked for an opinion.
The OP is trashing all these releases that he most likely hasn't even watched.

Like Pink Panther, not a natural color.

actually 9 or probably more (from nyaa)

Also, u're commenting under a release where the kind uncompetent Mr whatever that u're defending didnt even bother to check the names of the files before making the torrent, and made THREE mistakes over 4 frigging words:
> </b>Your</b> Being Summoned, Azezal
> You're Being Summoned, Azazel
And this release even has 3 seeders, jfc
Probably this is the quality that u deserve.

No one had a problem here with Moozzi2 encodes either.
Actually, still today, there are people who believe that Moozzi2 encodes are good, some even think they are the best (which is insulting to any encoder on the scene btw).
Does this mean that Moozzi2 encodes are good? What the fVck is this reasoning?

Exactly, over 1,400 DLs according to NYAA and not a single complaint here or there.

No one had a problem here with this for over 2 years.
You show up and suddenly and loudly proclaim THE SKY IS FALLING.
