Goodbye hats.

May I win again next year.

Memor-X

@LoganM so you won this year?

Logan M

@Memor-X winterbash2014.stackexchange.com/leaderboard/network

I'm on top, so I won.

Turns out I didn't need to do anything today to win. The 73 hats I had yesterday would have won also.

Hakase

it was a nice walk

Memor-X

@LoganM i wonder if the fact your the first #1 means that you really are the winner overall

Hakase

silence, nobody around

slow snow

felt like the whole world is empty and I can do what I want

Logan M

12:04 AM

Insofar as Winter Bash has a winner, being on top of that list is about as close as it gets.

Hakase

got salmon pate and chips

Memor-X

@Hakase would be perfect for this

Hakase

except it's 3:05 right now and it's after-new-year holidays

Oshino Shinobu

now he need another person with umbrella and a reporter and a cameraman

I lost my crab hat D:

Hakase

ingredients: pink salmon 54%, tuna 17%, rapeseed oil…

rapeseed sounds scary

Logan M

12:07 AM

Don't they usually call it "canola oil"?

Memor-X

@OshinoShinobu i lost my pirate hat, i doubt i'll be getting one next year.....all well, hopefully by next year i would have a script to allow me to put on any hat

Hakase

produced in France for John West Foods blah blah Liverpool, England

@Memor-X you can lose hats?

Logan M

@Hakase Everyone lost all their hats.

Hakase

ah

except Mystical

Memor-X

@Hakase if you're referring to the chat then refresh and Mystical will loose his/hers too

Hakase

12:10 AM

theirs

and no

tf2

Memor-X

@Hakase oh, TF2 don't count, they have hats all year long

Logan M

@Memor-X If you really find gold badges hard, just game fanatic next year on some site. Join a site around the middle of September and visit it every day until you get a gold badge during WB.

Memor-X

@LoganM oh yeh, you get a gold for that and i have the ipad app which makes things easier

Mysticial

Yeah, definitely still have my unusual TF2 hat.

lol

Hakase

I have 5 sorts of darjeelings and they all taste about the same

the difference is so slight that it doesn't really matter

Mysticial

12:12 AM

I guess I'll be learning how to play Scout now.

Logan M

@Memor-X I dearly hope that there isn't an iOS-exclusive hat next year.

Hakase

@Mysticial no, you learn how to make some money out of that and trade for a hat for your favorite class

scout is hard as fk

Mysticial

@Hakase Nah, I'm keeping that hat.

Bit of sentimental value for being my first ever unusual.

Hakase

demoman or soldier is the way to go for gen pop

Memor-X

@LoganM and that there's is a mod's hat

Hakase

12:13 AM

well then, best of luck

Mysticial

I played 2 hours of scout last night. Had a kill/dead ratio of about 1/2. Not too bad actually.

Hakase

on a public server?

where do u play

Mysticial

yeah

Logan M

I wish there was a mod hat.

Would have won harder with one. Rather than a technical 4-way tie, it would be 2-way.

Hakase

@LoganM you want not only to win but to make everybody else miserable?

Logan M

12:15 AM

@Hakase Winning means being better than everyone else.

Mysticial

Basically, if I really wanted to help the team, I'd go bonk-atomic-punch and then run around the enemy just to annoy them and draw fire from their sentry guns. If I wanted to get kills, I use crit-o-cola and fire into the masses.

Logan M

Probably no one else seriously cares about this as much as I do though.

Taisho

Hakase

@Mysticial you can just spam pipes and stickies and both distract the enemy and score kills

demomen are the bane of public servers

Mysticial

Oh, you meant demoman.

Hakase

12:18 AM

I'm just saying that this might not turn out well unless you really try your best and become a great scout player

Mysticial

I wouldn't say that demoman is overpowered. But they can be annoying if you don't know how to deal with them.

Hakase

I'm sure I'd be trading any unusuals for the classes I don't play for the ones I do

Mysticial

I play soldier, heavy, medic, demoman, and engie. Occasionally pyro and scout, but never spy.

Hakase

never spy?

why not?

it's the single most interesting class

Mysticial

Never got good at it. By "good", I mean, "not absolutely sucking".

I'm "okay" with sniper on specific maps with the right weapons and team support.

Just don't count on me to get headshots.

Hakase

12:20 AM

it depends on how you view your performance

I used to be a great piss-off sniper

everybody would be dripping with urine on the enemy team

I can't shoot well for the heads, so the sydney sleeper is my choice

Mysticial

@Hakase Same, I play sniper with Sydney Sleeper.

On very specific maps, I'll do Machina, but only very specific maps.

Hakase

with long hallways

Mysticial

yeah

Hakase

and payload type probably

spy is a great class for dragging the cart

equip dead ringer and crawl behind it

this is what I do when I want to win the pl map

Mysticial

pl map?

Hakase

12:23 AM

payload

Mysticial

oh

Hakase

pl_hightower

pl_goldrush

cp_* is for control point

Mysticial

I play heavy on payload maps.

It took a while for me to figure out how to counter snipers and spies.

And I take the most hits, but it really helps the team win.

Hakase

you can be a pyro and blow everyone away from blocking the cart

also one of my favorite last resort tactics

Mysticial

On some payload maps (like high tower), it's I commonly get a kill/dead ratio of 2/1 because it's really hard to die while you're getting healed both by the payload and a medic.

And it's almost always a sniper that kills me.

Hakase

12:26 AM

also it's incredibly fun to blow enemy down the fall as pyro on hightower

Mysticial

Yeah, it took me a while to figure out how to counter that as a heavy who sits on the payload.

Hakase

you can take a soldier with the pain train to drag faster

he's got a lot of hit points still and dangerous up close

probably use direct hit to counter the pyros

or the shotgun would be a better way

shotgun is really powerful in tf2

Mysticial

Depending on how good my teammates are, I can easily get 4/1 kill/dead ratio on high tower. If there's enough scouts and snipers on the team keeping the enemy spies busy, it's harder to keep me in check.

Hakase

I used to play as the gas jockey when the full set still had the fast switch effect

blow up and shotgun

I'd say we should play together sometime but I'm afraid the latency would make it impossible

Mysticial

where are you at?

Hakase

12:30 AM

moscow, russia

Mysticial

oh

Hakase

best case it'll be around 120 but it usually is around 300

how appropriate

Taisho

Hakase

> Yes. 350 ping from NZ but 180 with VPN.

Dodging red circles fine now.

> Australian here. Ping to EU servers from home connection = 300+. Ping through VPN = 150-200 depending on congestion.

I don't think it solves anything for FPS games

gimme the ip

what does that mean when there are timeouts past a certain point? that all of the points have disabled pings or only the first one and the rest just don't get the request?

can't ping the server directly

maybe it filters ranges or something

heh

back to glasslip and chips with pate

Logan M

why are you watching glasslip.

don't

Hakase

12:55 AM

watashi wa… kininarimasu!

Logan M

@Eric This translation is terrible.

Eric

@LoganM It is. Unfortunately it's the only one out right now.

Logan M

IMO wait for Cursive or read the raws.

Eric

Do you have a raw source?

Logan M

volume 3 has been out for a while.

looks like it's on nyaa if you're just going to pirate it.

Eric

12:59 AM

kk

Hakase

1:27 AM

"it just kinda happened"

Frosteeze

@Eric Translate it for us while you're at it :3

Eric

@Frosteeze Ergh. <_<

Hakase

7 episodes, nothing definite has happened

"we're all friends"

"I won't pry"

"I won't ask"

"I don't know what anyone is thinking"

"we're not friends anymore"

Frosteeze

1:43 AM

So plot progression is a flat line basically?

Hakase

it's a point so far

with a tiny little squiggle

the show isn't going anywhere so far

nothing is definite

those "visions" are not yet explained at all

they might be nothing at all

the only mysterious thing is that both characters see them at the same time, but they're nothing important

the rest of the show reminds of a very slow friend love entanglement drama but even for that it's too slow

Taisho

Hakase

1:59 AM

Oshino Shinobu

@Hakase for a second I thought they want to sell housewives

Hakase

looks like some english textbook from school

Memor-X

@OshinoShinobu maybe they still are, selling housewives to housewives

Oshino Shinobu

that sounds yuri

Logan M

@Hakase is that from Glasslip?

Memor-X

2:04 AM

@OshinoShinobu yeh, but it's mainly just stupidity like selling Ice to Eskimos or Sand to Arabians. in a Married Yuri Couple why would the "housewife" want to buy a second who could potentially steal her partner

Hakase

@LoganM yup

Logan M

2nd question: why are you watching Glasslip?

Hakase

still interested in how long it's possible to keep things from happening

Logan M

13 episodes

Hakase

I've come this far, now I must finish it

Logan M

2:06 AM

(is that how long it is?)

I forgot

Hakase

yes

8 episodes watched

Oshino Shinobu

what's wrong with glasslip? I haven't watch it

PA work usually has good anime

Hakase

this one isn't

Logan M

Everything is wrong with Glasslip.

Except the animation is pretty okay and the sister isn't terrible and the chickens did nothing wrong.

Hakase

the freaky still images randomly scattered throughout the episodes will make you doubt it's PA works or any decent animation studio even

Oshino Shinobu

2:08 AM

yea Logan you always love the chickens

Hakase

srsly what's up with those stills

Logan M

Also it has classical music which would be good if it weren't for the fact that it's Glasslip.

@Hakase Glasslip

Hakase

oh there are like 2 pieces of classical music

Logan M

Some BG is classical.

Hakase

and one of them keeps repeating like that Nana song

Logan M

2:09 AM

(mostly really mainstream though)

Hakase

fuck yeah we don't!

Oshino Shinobu

looking at you posting while watching hurts me

just drop it already

Hakase

I'm waiting for the "visions" to become blatantly bullshit or something

something!

anything at all!

I read a manga a long time ago about a girl and some stuff happened and she ended up on a train platform and she was about to fall and a guy saved her by teleporting across the train tracks.

Oshino Shinobu

coffee is good for anytime

Yuuki

2:43 AM

@OshinoShinobu False, coffee is good for none of the time.

Logan M

2:53 AM

Good coffee is okay. Bad coffee is terrible, and most coffee is bad.

Hakase

I seriously have no solid facts proving that something is going on

Logan M

Given the choice I'd always pick tea though.

Hakase

tea 100% of the time

Logan M

@Hakase nothing is going on.

I don't remember that scene but I'm pretty sure nothing happened for the whole show.

If something does happen, it turns out to be nothing eventually.

Hakase

ok I'm toast for today

Reactions in Heileen

Chapter Title "First Kiss" - if i end up kissing John i am going to rage
First kiss scene - \*swoons\* Marie kissed me, Marie kissed me
Marie drunk- \*drools\* i wish i was you right now Heileen
End game - after kissing all over me when she was drunk there's no confession from Marie? guess i'll have to wait until the 2nd game
Heileen 2 start - where's Marie, f*** the Ethiopian man and woman here with me, i don't care, i want Marie!
Meeting Juliet (and Diligence End) - i guess Marie is gone, well, i'll be with this scary Pirate Captain

in all, the 2nd game just sucked because i couldn't continue things with Marie

Q: Why is Tomoko actions on her computer so exaggerated?

Disappointing ending The ending does not resolve the important plot points, leaving you frustrated. This is a spoiler list.

Oshino Shinobu

@mirroroftruth recent edit is mine, what do you mean

mirroroftruth

i don't get it what that was for

Oshino Shinobu

not really sure what's the purposed, for sharing I guess?

mirroroftruth

@mirroroftruth if you and @OshinoShinobu haven't already woken him up by pinging him

@ton.yeung yes, @Hakase

mirroroftruth

@Memor-X let him sleep and have nightmare of watching GlassLip

Oshino Shinobu

I don't think pinging @Hakase will wake him up

Hakase

Oshino Shinobu

4:40 AM

@Hakase i thought you broke out

Oshino Shinobu

@Memor-X lol, dunno about ipad, never use one

Hakase

@mirroroftruth those were example entries to show how to still keep the list inside a spoiler

those spoilers are very sensitive to markup and don't work if you do anything you'd normally want to do

just remove those and type it like the rest of the recs so far

mirroroftruth

so what exactly the purpose of that community wiki post

Hakase

@mirroroftruth lists of works united by a same strong characteristic

mirroroftruth

and the characteristics are

Hakase

something notable

Memor-X

@mirroroftruth Loli factor

Hakase

something you would look for when browsing recs

yes, like high loli factor

mirroroftruth

@Memor-X Loli factor are not to be hidden

Hakase

4:44 AM

wtf to sanity ratio

Memor-X

potential in scoring Adolescent Points though watching anime

Hakase

robots and smart machines maybe

@mirroroftruth if you have any ideas for these characteristics, let's post some more lists and fill em up with recommendable titles

but don't ask me right now, I'm kinda in the middle of sleeping

mirroroftruth

@Hakase ya better sleep , i will get detail when you actually fresh

@Hakase don't have nightmare of Glasslip and Firework in winter, may Jonathan help you when you chicken

Hakase

great comedy that makes you cry laughing, something sad that makes you cry, basically the more tears the better, but not "Why have I wasted 24*20min time of my life watching this?" kind of tears

we'll figure it out later

mirroroftruth

@Hakase sometime you should do to think why did i do

If I haven't heard of it, it's probably not legal.

mirroroftruth

i think she is the 1st post of girls from one piece

or there has been other post

Logan M

That would be somewhat surprising.

There should have been at least a couple by now.

mirroroftruth

couple

Logan M

Not that I remember any other examples though, but we've gone through like 2000 images.

mirroroftruth

and other may be of Vivi most probably

its really rare to see post from anime like Naruto and One piece

Logan M

6:23 AM

Naruto and One Piece don't have a lot of fanart or official art.

And I only rarely resort to things like screencaps.

mirroroftruth

@LoganM that one is true and if they have then they of the male character

Logan M

I guess I should specify "good" fanart. There's plenty of Naruto/OP fanart. It's just mostly pretty bad.

mirroroftruth

you are right

Oshino Shinobu

because some good artist doesn't care about naruto and one piece

Logan M

I don't think that's it

It's more that those fanbases are too large, and so they're saturated with bad art. There is still some good art though (in fact lots of it), but there's so much bad art that the good ones are pretty rare.

Whereas with a more niche fanbase, the average art quality will be pretty consistently good.

When I get images, I still have some from popular series like that, but they look under-represented because of that. But I think they're relatively fairly represented.

mirroroftruth

6:45 AM

there are very good fan art but most of them are targeted toward male rather than cute girls :(

Logan M

There's some of that too
