Q: What manga is this from? Please help!

Dudeguy I ran into this image on Reddit I think. But the image is edited so I can't find the proper image or manga.

 
@Sakamoto Borderline NSFW?
It's a manga, and I can't tell if the fluid is blood, semen, both, or something else.
 
either way it's nsfw...
 
We just put it under a NSFW spoiler right?
We can do that ourselves.
 
1:38 AM
So apparently in these laptops, you don't need to install modules in pairs to get dual channel.
I knew this was the case with older laptops that only had 2 slots.
I didn't know it was still the case with these 4-slot laptops.
 
@Mysticial saw exposed body and just skipped strait to the tag to fix it. i didn't bother reviewing if it was NSFW or not
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan i don't think that's any different from real life. just that in real life it's unobtainable
 
@ton.yeung spoilering it is fine, but the content is really skirting the edge.
If enough ppl flag it as inappropriate, it goes poof
 
1:58 AM
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ i wonder how things look when they go poof in cyberspace
in real life its a small plume of smoke
@ton.yeung i see why Neptunia is so cheap
out of all of those i don't have Amnesia. while i can easily play Otome games and into the role of the character chasing after guys is not my thing
now if there was a couple of girls playing as Heroine would be much better
 
2:14 AM
@Memor-X you play Ryona games lol
?
 
@Frosteeze what?
 
Ryona games, where the heroine gets tortured and stuff
best you google it yourself
 
@Frosteeze how the hell do you get that from me wanting to play Amnesia with Heroine having some female love interests?
or does she gets tortured in it?
* angst doesn't count as torture
 
@Memor-X you can have otome Ryona ala Amnesia style, where the main female character gets chased by an evil succubus or whatever and the first cant fight back
 
@Frosteeze .......you do know there is a visual novel where you play as a succubus and she falls in love with the sisters she's living with
 
2:22 AM
this would be very different than a visual novel

Q: Are these actually Origami?

Memor-XSo in my Collectors Edition for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 3 it came with a sheet which can be made into this I have also seem similar things on eBay of the Puella Magi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Are these actually just Origami? or is there a different name for them which one would...

 
@Frosteeze ok, well i have never played any visual novel where i am a girl being chased by a succubus nor can i really imagine something like that....at least not as the main premise. maybe if one of the heroines was a succubus deredere
or whatever the dere is for the one who is madly in love with the other and they see them and only them and always praises everything their love interest does, almost to the point they became stalkers

@Taisho thank you
 
2:43 AM
@Hakase we can do a meta like the meme one
 
3:02 AM
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ i was actually thinking about that on the weekend but didn't voice it because i could only think of 2 events. the monthly anime streaming and Gift Exchange
 
pasu nyan nyan nyan
 
3:25 AM
room topic changed to Maid Café (メイド喫茶): Welcome back, my Master! お帰りなさいませ、ご主人様! Sit back and relax to some General Chat for anime.stackexchange.com. We're now serving anime & manga with a side of Moé. Here, smiles are free and the lolis are the best. Please make use of our maid service: meta.anime.stackexchange.com/q/1166/191 [anime] [maids] [manga] [recommendations] [spoilers]
 
@Memor-X there's past n future ones, like the EU meetups, avatar changes, tomato jspanese lessons etc
 
@Memor-X monthly avatar change :p
 
@Darjeeling but @Hakase hasn't suggested a theme for those in months
 
he did actually, just not pinned it
 
Last one was toushino kyouko
 
3:29 AM
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ ahhhh, that was the reason for the Toshinofication
 
this month is music
I don't know the real reason for The Toshining, I wasn't here at that time, I put the tag because everyone else change their name and avatar
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ was that just our regular avatar change? I thought it has something to do with our gift exchange
 
3:45 AM
The Toshinification was caused by the T-Virus.
 
3:59 AM
watching Mahouka
this like, an anime about crappy Physics or something
 
4:16 AM
@Frosteeze for a moment that i thought it was short hand for Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
 
nah Madoka is 10/10
otherwise I wouldnt have Homura/Madoka as my avatar
but Mahouka holy shit, it's like sitting in a racist objectivist calculus physics class
 
@Frosteeze and how is that different to the schools on the Incubators homeworld?
 
@Memor-X ...heh I never saw Kyubei in that light before
but that's a good point
 
o/
 
@ton.yeung maybe I am a bit, but I read somewhere that there's a number of high-profile right-wing LN/manga authors that are right-wing and make what is essentially propaganda
so not so much I am sensitive to race, but more like I don't want anime, manga, or LNs to be a platform for political agendas
 
4:30 AM
Propoganda is not a problem in most anime, otsku pandering on the otherhand...
 
@3@
 
@ton.yeung well I see your point. I guess my problem with the series isn't really racism, since I can't really quite call it that
I'm more annoyed with the technobabble and the lack of conflicts
 
@Frosteeze Mahouka is just bad. Don't spend any time thinking about it; you will definitely regret doing so.
 
Ergh it was so promising in the beginning. Like, I can see why people like the LN, but it just drags on and on and on
 
I would never consider reading it. The only way I made it through some of the anime episodes was by muting it and watching at 2x speed.
 
4:37 AM
@ton.yeung watching the anime. I'm assuming that the first arc stayed true to the LN. The arc after that was just...boring
 
dialogue-heavy isn't a problem for anime. What's a problem is when the dialogue is all bad.
 
See I tried watching it like that. I was like, "this is a good anime version of a high-tech Harry Potter." But they just keep talking about inane things I don't care about and the technobabble is just reduced to "Tatsuya is so smart lol"
@LoganM that's pretty much my problem
it does have interesting concepts though and the competition games looks fun if I were doing it myself
 
If Mahouka had even a shred of self-awareness it would actually make for a hilarious comedy
Think Tamanawa from Oregairu S2
 
Yeah, it was like watching an unfunny version of One Punch Man in a way
 
4:43 AM
yeah same principle
 
@Frosteeze much of mahouka story is mostly dialogues and Tatsuya's inner thoughts, difficult to animate since they can't make and episode with only 2 people talking
 
Monogatari had episodes with 15 minute dialogue sequences
In any case, my problem isn't with the lack of inner monologues or with dumbed down dialogue. It's with the scenario.
I didn't even listen to most of the dialogue because it was too painful to even attempt to suspend disbelief.
The artwork was okay I guess if you don't think too much about the story it's attempting to show.
 
It seems to me Madhouse focused too much on the action
 
there was a distinct lack of action...
well I stopped on the schools competition and unless you count the games as action, it wasn't really actiony
 
while the show was a waste of time, I don't think it's because there was an excessive amount of action
at least, other shows have had comparable amounts of action without being absolute disasters the way mahouka was
The LNs look rather readable even if you don't know much Japanese. They appear to be written to try to use as much pretentious-sounding technobabble as possible, but without any real clue of what all the terms mean. If you ignore that it's rather simple Japanese.
 
4:56 AM
I think I wont completely drop Mahouka just yet, but I will put it on hold till a 2nd season comes out or something
that way my investment on it wont be a total loss
 
@Frosteeze it picks up a bit after the monolith code part towards Yokohama disturbance
 
J > E is probably the biggest market for translations right now of any two languages, so you probably could make money off learning Japanese better
like I said, there's a market for J > E translation, so knowing Japanese is a skill that could make you money.
I don't think the two are mutually exclusive
also, a lot of the translation market is for rather technical documents, and those pay quite well. Depending on how efficient you are, you could probably make more money doing less work than as a programmer.
 
I think you can make a killing being a freelancer translator
like being a manga translator on commission, i wanted a certain manga translated but it was $60 for the whole thing lol
it was only about 28 pages long
 
entertainment isn't a good thing to get into for translation. It's very low-level, so it doesn't require any special skills to translate.
Also, there's not much money in it to begin with.

Q: Was it necessary for the Kais to let Gohan's energy be drained for Buu?

AnimatedLimeI'm still confused to why Supreme Kai paralyzed Gohan for his energy to be drained. Couldn't they just have eliminated Babidi so Buu wouldn't be resurrected?

 
While in college I met a guy who is one of the go-to translators for pharmaceutical and biomedical documents from Japanese to English. He only works a couple hours per day and is easily making 6 figures.
I hear that you can get even more money as an interpreter, but that's much harder and also more competitive
 
Does anyone know what album this is from?
Google translate doesn't work too well on names and proper nouns.
 
O hi yo/
 
It's by EastNewSound, I forget which album
 
I do know it's from EastNewSound. I'm trying track it further down.
 
5:25 AM
I have their albums at home so I could check
 
Since EastNewSound has a pretty big repertoire.
 
I think it's on Scattered Destiny (track 10)
 
Ah, I've seen that name before.
Thank you. And it's not one of the EastNewSound albums that I have.
 
I think they might have re-released that one on one of the best-of CDs. Not sure though.
 
5:28 AM
Oh...
I guess my tastes aren't unique. :)
 
personally, it's not my favorite EastNewSound song, but it's not bad
 
I've tracked down most of the Halozy songs that I liked. But that was easier since they had English names.
 
5:53 AM
hi @mirroroftruth
 
Lo @Tyhja
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ hel @ʞɹɐzǝɹ
hmm prolly shouldn't do that twice
 
@Tyhja kill @ʞɹɐzǝɹ
 
@>@ ~~~
he's not responding
i must have killed him
with my DEATH STAR(E)
 
would you kindly kill @ʞɹɐzǝɹ
 
6:02 AM
!! !
no HoiHO.oi-san
she would answer about killing

Q: why didn't anyone in the school noticed that Natsume is actually a female?

Mike AgustinIn the early episodes of Tokyo Ravens, Natsume is seen wearing a boy's uniform. It is said that this is due to some customs in their family. But why didn't anyone noticed that she is actually a girl?

 
haruhi-chaaaaan~
 
i think ^ OP need some trap anime recommendation
 
6:26 AM
wow greedy
everyone thinks greedy is anyone who makes significantly more money than they do. But if you actually look at how much money you need to make to live comfortably, even with fuzzy accounting there's no way you need to make 8 figures.
@ton.yeung That depends on the job and where you do it.
In any case, I'd never want to make that much money. It would take way too much time figuring out what to do with all of it.
It's already way too much work figuring out how to deal with the money I do make, and that's not much at all
 
@ton.yeung 10 figures? As in 10 billion?
Nice
 
6:41 AM
10 figures is 1 billion, not 10 billion
 
Oh I'm off by a zero.
Still
That's a lot
 
either way, it's more money than anyone needs
 
@ton.yeung Apparently, the SSDs that we have in our laptops aren't normal SSDs.
Check this out:
Those are NVMe SSDs.
PCIe SSD rather than SATA.
That would explain the massive price difference between the SSD size customizations.
Those benchmark numbers are ridiculous. The only system I have that can match it is the one with 16 parallel hard drives.
I'm actually not sure if you can even stick a normal (SATA-based) SSD into those slots.
 
Is it okay if I join you?
 
6:54 AM
Yes it's fine. This is a public chatroom, no need to ask.

Oh, I just didn't want to impose...
I'm all jacked up on coffee, probably wasn't the best idea to go to Starbuck's at 5
What's everyone doing?
 
I'm reading up on m2 SSDs.
Since apparently, I have no idea what the hell I bought two weeks ago.
 
What's m2 SSDs?
 
It's a new form factor for SSDs.
 
Oh...
I'm just listening to DUBSTEP!!! Dubstep is bae...
 
7:04 AM
I don't have much opinion on dubstep generally, but this is a great song:
 
Hey, yeah! That's great!
What's your favorite style of music?
 
I like 12+ hour repeating anime meme songs
 
:)
Hopefully that works

Q: Anime Identification Request

DakotaI used to watch an Anime back in early 2000. The most memory i have is the main character would shoot numbered balls out of a gun, and maybe if he killed someone they gave him a certain ball.

 
I didn't. I thought they were still capped a SATA3 bandwidth per stick.
What confuses me is this: msi.com/pic/faq/…
It says 4 x SATA3.
But M2 is PCIe x4.
PCIe3 is 1 GB/s per lane.
M.2 is PCIe 3 x4.
Which means that the bandwidth scaling will stop at 2 SSDs.
Either way, it shouldn't be possible to get more than 4 GB/s from the four m.2 slots.
You mean SATA 3?
At least that's what I'm reading.
That I know.
I'm reading here that's m.2 supports both SATA and PCIe/NVMe.
 
nice
fibre everthing
xD
 
I'm wondering if you can put both a SATA and an NVMe drive on the same m.2 set of 4 ports.
Not that I'm gonna do that.
 
Right. So if I connect a SATA drive and an NVMe to different ports on the same m.2 set. Do they both run independently at their respective speeds? Or does it drop to the lowest common denominator?
At some point, I'm gonna put a 250 or 500GB in the laptop and move the Windows installation to it. Then I'll put Linux on the current 128GB one.
So the entire m.2 can only be configured to run one way or the other?
 
7:40 AM
I think @Taisho is the only regular here who is consistently on-topic.
 
Btw, my 5960X box has a single m.2 slot on the mobo. Whereas our laptops have 4 of them.
oh
I assume the NVMe slots are the ones facing up when you open up the back.
lemme pull out the picture I took.
Oh. If you zoom in on the picture I took:
2 days ago, by Mysticial
user image
You can clearly see the left slot labeled "SATA1".
That make sense since the video that shows how to add the 2nd 2.5 in. drive uses that slot.
 
7:59 AM
oh neat
I was actually more interested in getting to the ram that's under the keyboard.
There's this thing:
Not very detailed though.
Not quite the same model.
Yeah, I'm looking at mine right now.
It really does look like you need to get at it from the other side.
Which basically means take apart the whole damn thing.
Possibly
Welp, I'm not going to disassemble the entire thing to get at the front side ram slots.
So I'm staying at 48GB unless that top assembly comes off.
Or when the laptop is near the end of its useful life and I don't care anymore.
 
8:14 AM
Granted, I don't actually abuse my old machines since they're probably the only machine I have of that particular processor generation.
I'm keeping my old laptop since it's the only Sandy/Ivy Bridge machine I have.
It's 4 x 8GB.
So they're all populated.
 
8:38 AM
imgur.com/gallery/WwGutPI − I'm inclined to believe this happened
so ok there are idiots who think it's okay to ask others to turn down their good job just coz they can't do as well, but what about actually complying with such ridiculous requests? Is that not idiotic?
 
> so ok there are idiots who think ...? Is that not idiotic?
fill in the blank
 
I mean both parties are acting like idiots
there's no good side then
both are probably on their own separate social networks explaining the situation
 
my point is that for just about any idiotic idea, you can find someone who strongly supports it
better to just ignore the idiots
 
@ton.yeung Multiple sources are saying that it requires a complete tear-down: forum.notebookreview.com/threads/…
 
@Hakase Hello, Hakase, professor, connoisseur.
 
8:45 AM
yes, hi
 
The fact that you need to remove the heatpipes and such is almost crossing the line for me. Since I rarely ever manage to do thermal paste right the first time.
Note that these notebook processors don't have IHS like the desktop chips.
So putting too much paste will actually bleed out and short circuit the components.
 
whoa are they not sealed in dielectric something?
 
not necessarily.

Q: Looking for a manga i have read but i forgot the name

MangamanStory Guy plays rpg game 1 of his guild mate got hacked after getting a rare item then he helps his guild mate trying to find the hacker The character of his friend is a high lv knight The protagonist asked his friend who is a GM to make an event so they can find the culprit thats all i rememb...

 
you could apply some sticky tape around the sides and then wipe off the bleeding paste with a cotton stick
 
8:50 AM
I'm pretty sure the circuit board that holds the chip itself is probably covered with some insulation. The chip is only like a millimeter tall, and I don't see how it's possible for thermal paste to not leak on to the circuit board itself.
But I can't say for sure.
Desktop chips have the protective IHS, so it's a non-issue.
 
I'd ask on hardware forums/reddits what to do in such cases
 
Yeah.
The thermal paste that I have (and I still have a lot of) is mildly conductive and slowly hardens up over time.
But it's also very high performing.
