@Memor-X No you want to get the entire set of this

the leds glow differently

user1306322

@ShinobuOshino Right, Nadeko! I was trying to remember who else had this hair style

I didn't like how it looked, but I suppose it was required for the plot

although the snaky style fit her much better

Shinobu Oshino

@user1306322 I like nadeko hair however it look, with bangs, without, or snake hair

Memor-X

@Krazer ahhhh, i was going to get them all anyway to see if the top halves could be removed easier for when i change the batteries but if they glow differently then i'll get them

Shinobu Oshino

@user1306322 medusa style is better though :3

user1306322

I'm trying to remember how I could mix up the names Nadeko and Nadeshiko when I posted a question about her and Araragi's weird encounter

@user1306322 ah, the one from bakemono? I thought you mean from second season

what is Yamato Nadeshiko by the way

Memor-X

user1306322

Yamato nadeshiko

is a Japanese term meaning the "personification of an idealized Japanese woman", or "the epitome of pure, feminine beauty". It is a floral metaphor, combining the words Yamato, an ancient name for Japan, and nadeshiko, a delicate frilled pink carnation called Dianthus superbus, whose kanji translate into English as "caressable child" (or "wide-eyed barley"). The term "Yamato nadeshiko" is often used referring to a girl or shy young woman and, in a contemporary context, nostalgically of women with "good" traits which are perceived as being increasingly rare. However, Nadeshiko Japan is...

I was surprised to find out that "Murasaki" means "purple"

Murasaki-san = Mr. Purple

@user1306322 violet

user1306322

I haven't decided how people's names should be constructed and with what meaning in mind, but I sure don't think just a color would be fine

some emotion or quality would be much better for a name

just a color by itself may mean different things

It's harder to interpret than a known emotion

Krazer

@user1306322 murasaki is after the flower

user1306322

12:19 AM

@Krazer my source is en.wiktionary.org/wiki/…

and personally, I find it hard to tell the difference between purple and violet most of the time

whenever I hear from people that a certain color means something, it's usually totally unexpected to me

the whole rose color thing is ridiculous to me

parenting is hard

I was rewatching Nichijou when I saw Hakase get a rollcake out of Nano's hand, and so I went out and got one myself

I only wish we had 4.5% milk

Shinobu Oshino

@user1306322 who need refrigerator when you have Nano

she has all the food inside her body

@Krazer aren't violet=purple?

user1306322

12:31 AM

@ShinobuOshino well, Nano then argued that all food should be kept in the fridge after Hakase got a baumkuchen out of it

Memor-X

i'll ask this here since i can't find anywhere else, I currently have a chapter name in a nanoha fanfic called <Chapter 6: Storms, Stars and a Flower of Shadows>. the title basically describes the characters the chapter focuses on.
i want to replace "Flower of Shadows" with an actual flower name, the flower has to relate to darkness/black/shadows but not something meligmant since that part references Hayate and an OC Character.
Preferably i want it to have an S sounding start (in japanese tsu would be acceptable), though if it doesn't i could just convert to to Al Behd and force it to have …

@ShinobuOshino more like a different shade

@ShinobuOshino purple is darker, violet is lighter

@Memor-X what kind of shadow are we talking about?

what feelings does it evoke

@Memor-X malignant maybe?

Memor-X

@user1306322 the magical element known as shadows, Hayate is only connected to Shadows because of how she's the master of the Book of Darkness. Trishia (the OC) is shadow because of her distant nature to everyone else but to the one she loves who she had a almost yandare approach to (at one stage wanting to kill Nanoha for making her upset), and and her past is somewhat dark aswell

user1306322

I suppose it can't be a forget-me-not?

Memor-X

@user1306322 yeh, i meant malignant not meligmant, i just don't want a flower which has an ominous meaning too like being evil or the such

Aquilegia

Aquilegia (common names: Granny's Bonnet or Columbine) is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers. Etymology The genus name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because the shape of the flower petals, which are said to resemble an eagle's claw. The common name "columbine" comes from the Latin for "dove", due to the resemblance of the inverted flower to five doves clustered together. Description The fruit is a...

looks cool

I don't really know how to do the flower choosing

part of me tells me that if the fans aren't going to ignore the name, they'll google it and see the pics and wiki page, which may or may not be to their liking

other part of me says people may just see a cool flower name, and even if it's look doesn't live up to its name, they'll still think it was a nice decision

recently I started noticing that just a description, without specifics is usually enough to evoke the intended emotions

so maybe this "Flower of Shadows" should be a fictional one?

and now for something completely unrelated… Nanba Hibito was moonrock-blocked by the Space Brothers' NASA despite the fact that he had experienced several panic attacks and successfully proved that he learned to control them in front of many authoritative people, so basically he's become the most experienced astronaut, and NASA was blind not to see that

Do I understand correctly that the increase and the high quality of enticing and alluring and seductive scenes in the Second season of Monogatari can be called fanservice?

On that topic, Joomla private beta began today. (I still have no idea what a Joomla is). Also, Earth Science is in public beta as of today.

Memor-X

@user1306322 i did think that but then i wouldn't actually be able to fit in the explanation of what it is until a flashback chapter i have planned much later (currently planned as apart of the transition between the Living Lost Logia Hunt and the Trip to Al-Arcross)

@LoganM did you manage to find a way in?

Logan M

@Memor-X I found a way to get read access. Still can't create an account on the private one though.

Memor-X

@LoganM wasn't read access all you needed?

Logan M

@Memor-X I never needed any access.

I just wanted to break in.

I'd still like to find a way to get in, but I wouldn't be surprised if I can't until they open the site up.

Logan M

1:51 AM

@Krazer I'm already on that site. The one I don't have access to is cs50

user1306322

I was thinking that in Nichijou some characters haven't ever talked to each other on screen, but that's because there are many unrelated groups that don't have much to do with each other

and then I wondered if there are animes where some characters never got to meet one another

Krazer

@LoganM I believe they send out invite links to registered students

Shinobu Oshino

@user1306322 I think there are some like that...

A: What is cs50 and why can't I access it?

We're not really ready to announce this quite yet, but you might surmise from the title that this is a site "For Students of HarvardX CS50x: Introduction to Computer Science." The Area 51 link is just following a template that, in this case, doesn't apply.

Logan M

@Krazer I know everything about the site. I have read access. I just can't create an account, and I'm trying to find a way to do so.

Shinobu Oshino

@user1306322 nope, I was wrong, never see something like that, I'm thinking about lucky star but I don't know. I never finish it

user1306322

@LoganM you may need to obtain that "edX" account to login with it

Logan M

2:17 AM

@user1306322 There's no official non-dev supported route for account creation at the moment. Any method I can find will necessarily be an exploit.

user1306322

@LoganM you could probably ask the devs then

Logan M

@user1306322 I doubt they'd tell me how to exploit their system.

Plus, that basically ruins the whole point

user1306322

then I suppose you'll have to steal some cookies or social-engineer your way in

Logan M

I'm trying to get access because it's something I'm not supposed to be able to do. Getting in with their help would be pointless.

user1306322

I'm not sure the result would be worth the effort

Logan M

2:22 AM

FWIW, at least one non-dev user has succeeded at making an account. I think I know the method they used, but it's too boring so I'm trying to get in a different way.

Memor-X

@user1306322 you best bet would be MMO based series because each character has 2 identities, the avatar in the game and real life so it's more common character meet in the game but never in real life and some are very different in real life, .hack is a good example of this. as far as i know in .hack//SIGN Tsukasa and Subaru may be the only ones who met before the Twilight Incident and Tsukasa met Bear when he became her guardian sometime during the incident.

in the Luminality episodes, even though the main characters were at the Helba Server during the battle with Corbenik they never met the .hackers and i think no one ever met Helba except maybe Bith the Black (though there's an indication that Wiseman/Yata may have after the Twilight Incident but that's unconfirmed).

Krazer

3:25 AM

@LoganM aside from cookies, it's going to be difficult to guess the key

Memor-X

@Braiam SIGN seemed better in my opinion because unlike Roots everything in it wasn't a throw back to the game

grrrr, i would ask this on the nanofate chat room but the site is still down. in Nanoha which group is N2R affiliated with? it seems too small to be a separate division like the Gulf Special Rescue Unit, Dimensional Navy, Wildlife Preservation Corps, Ground Forces or Enforcers

@user1306322 it depends on how you apply it

user1306322

is it because of the importance of respiration regulation most athletes have lower average intelligence than other people?

I wanna think about cool stuff while exercising

@ton.yeung in hindsight, I should have used the word "knowledge" instead, ye

@Krazer what I meant was that I don't want to not be able to think while exercising because I have to count sheep instead
