home already

I've visited 4 phone shops on the way home

TFT-IPS displays is a confusing name for "shit plus" technology

yes

I also need to feel good about the purchase which is the hardest part of this

that cheap lumia I got in october infuriated me quite a lot

no cheap smartphones seem to have a decent display

now I'm starting to think that maybe I just need a stupidphone

basically, I have no need for any smartphone functions, just the maps in case I get adventurous and get lost on the streets, but that doesn't happen often enough to warrant the purchase of a smartphone

roms?

idk why I do this anymore

maybe to keep a conversation going…

yes, I just googled that >.<

Hestia's ribbon has gone viral to even the West

That's quick. I don't even notice the ribbon

Toshinou Kyouko

it's been on my twitter feed for weeks @_@

nhahtdh

(I know about it the last time some one posted the news a few weeks ago.)

(I'm just impressed that it gather enough interest that even people in the West start to mimic it)

I just crossed 7000 rep. Need 3000 more...

Toshinou Kyouko

You can do it :)

nhahtdh

Looking at my reputation history - *facepalm* most come from id-req

@ToshinouKyouko Not really. I find all your recent reps comes from trope or regular series questions

Toshinou Kyouko

@nhahtdh my recent ones, still mostly id-requests though

I've been trying to answer more interesting questions :)

JNat

@nhahtdh Wanna chime in on this discussion?

nhahtdh

That's good. I can never answer those questions, since I lack source

Toshinou Kyouko

my highest series tag is lucky star

Logan M

IMO series tags are basically impossible to gain any appreciable amount of rep in.

Toshinou Kyouko

3:42 PM

unless they're a big series

like naruto, dragonball etc

JNat

Naruto is my top tag

Then FMA

Logan M

Even moderately popular shows don't get more than 1 question per week. Only the really hugely popular ones are exceptions.

JNat

And only then id-reqs

Toshinou Kyouko

only ID Qs allowed

generally aswell, many people look at id requests, but less will look at series if they havent seen it

Logan M

I don't quite understand why there's a separate room for meta discussion. Isn't that one of the things the main room is supposed to support?

Toshinou Kyouko

@Unihedron Did you add an "n" at the end of your username?

Wasn't it just Unihedro?

it was

@JNat yep

I took away the "n" during Winterbash.

steamcommunity.com/workshop/aboutpaidcontent − you can now pay for mods

Toshinou Kyouko

.... yay

Hakase

yeaa…

Toshinou Kyouko

modders only get 25% too

Hakase

5:05 PM

wuuut

Toshinou Kyouko

yeah

Hakase

wtf

that is definitely not enough

why

Toshinou Kyouko

dunno

its like 45% publisher 30% steam 25% modder

Hakase

terrible

publisher is way too greedy

modder must get at least a half

Logan M

I'm confused. What is a mod? I guess not a moderator.

Hakase

5:19 PM

modification

for video games

Logan M

I'm surprised that doesn't violate some sort of copyright law.

Toshinou Kyouko

some games support it

traditionally though, it would have been violating yeah

Hakase

what law

it's an original creation

like translations of literary works are considered standalone works

Toshinou Kyouko

it's a remix of an existing work

like, you couldn't translate my book and sell it

i'd have to give you permission

Logan M

Translations are standalone works protected by copyright, but the rights-holder has the exclusive right to permit the creation and/or distribution of a translation on their terms.

Toshinou Kyouko

5:24 PM

^ better words

Logan M

Derivative work

In copyright law, a derivative work is an expressive creation that includes major copyright-protected elements of an original, previously created first work (the underlying work). The derivative work becomes a second, separate work independent in form from the first. The transformation, modification or adaptation of the work must be substantial and bear its author's personality to be original and thus protected by copyright. Translations, cinematic adaptations and musical arrangements are common types of derivative works. Most countries' legal systems seek to protect both works. They grant authors...

I'd guess game modifications fall under that as well.

Taisho

Hakase

shmopyright

25% is unfairly little

Logan M

What did they used to get?

Toshinou Kyouko

before mods were free

Hakase

5:29 PM

(I think logan implied that)

Toshinou Kyouko

o

Hakase

(but idk he's weird lol)

I guess something is better than nothing, but that doesn't seem fair still >.>

why does publisher get so much anyway

steam does content distribution and sales

publisher only really updates their game to fix absolutely atrocious bugs and that's usually it

people already paid for the game

mods should not include any additional money for the publisher

hmm but I suppose this is to create more interest for publishers to add mod support…

ok makes sense now

wonder how to make use of it if it's true

Logan M

@ton.yeung I don't understand that article. It doesn't even have any equations. You're better off reading the paper and watching the PITP talk by Juan. But honestly the 2001 paper is better than the 2013 one anyway.

someone made this game store.steampowered.com/app/261700

the question is do we want to

Frosteeze

lol was this based on the hentai game platformer that has the same mechanics Iris Action

Hakase

I only looked at it for 2.5 seconds before posting that :p

@ton about that bug in msvs which locks the binary. Some of the users on SO say it happens because the app is stuck in some exceptiony state and can't exit quickly after you stop debugging as usual. Do you know of any unusual ways to stop debugging that could be an effective workaround?

I don't have enough info about that, so I can't ask a question that won't be immediately closed

Hakase

8:53 PM

wonder if there's some way to reroute the default exit function to that

or if it even works during an exception break

perhaps Terminate All will solve this

we shall see in the future

Q: Is Fuji-san really that easy to be climbed?

In the second season, episode 6 it is said that ‘Fuji-san is a mountain that even beginners can climb.’ That got me wondering. The mountain is over 3700 m high and to the best of my map-reading knowledge, the valleys surrounding it can’t be too far away from sea level. That means it’s a climb...

yama-no-susume

Logan M

@Sakamoto Altitude isn't the most important factor in determining the difficulty of a climb. Also, not sure if it's on-topic.

JNat

@LoganM Does not seem to be about anime, but about climbing

So I'd say no

Logan M

That's my line of reasoning as well

Actually, there is some relevant content in the anime that does answer this, so I'm inclined to answer it and leave it open in this case.

Frosteeze

11:20 PM

seems like something that should be asked in Japanese Culture SE mhhhm

Logan M

No, really on Outdoors SE imo.

But I'm answering it here because it can be answered by other content from the anime.

Yama no Susume is surprisingly accurate with how it portrays climbing.

Logan M

11:43 PM

Danmachi is kinda boring for me. So far Hestia is the only good character.

Mysticial

This season has a lack of good shows. :(

For me at least.

Logan M

I have lots of good shows this season.

Mysticial

@ton.yeung myanimelist.net/animelist/Mysticial

Some of the stuff a bit out of date.

MAL sometimes drops update requests.

Logan M

Also, I really wish Yama no Susume was way longer, and the girls progressively go on harder and harder climbs. It would be really fun to watch them get to the summit of Nanga Parbat or K2 or something like that.

Mysticial

Lemme update my list.

btw, I'm officially not a Google employee anymore. But I'm stlil in the office able to chat and still with access to corporate resources.

11:51 PM

@ton.yeung Everest isn't that hard. A well-prepared expert climber will basically always succeed.

Mysticial

@ton.yeung 3 from this season right?

Logan M

Still way harder than Fuji-san of course, but it's far from being the hardest mountain to climb, just the tallest.
