@GnomeSlice ....I take issue with your language.
 
NOTHING is perfect. Disallowing the ability to see it's flaws and go, "It could be improved" annoys me to no end.
 
@Wipqozn This is true of much anime.
 
@GnomeSlice You really need to think more about your word choice.
 
@AshleyNunn Hey, I'm from the 90's, fag != homosexual.
 
@GnomeSlice And you're strawmanning the argument.
 
user15026
11:00 PM
@GnomeSlice ....wow.
 
@fbueckert I'm what?
 
user15026
I....
 
user15026
no.
 
Just a sec I'm trying to think of a new word
 
@GnomeSlice That's not how it works
 
11:00 PM
@GnomeSlice Not really. It's true for most mainstream anime, but not most of it.
 
@GnomeSlice just go with "annoying people"
 
There we go.
 
@GnomeSlice You've just characterized everyone who hates Star Wars episode 1 as someone who isn't worth listening to.
Better.
Much better.
 
@fbueckert No, the people 'crying' about it.
i.e. the ones who think you're wrong to like it.
 
@GnomeSlice The correct response was "oh, sorry. I often forget the word is intended to be a derogatory word for homosexuals. Allow me to fix that, and I'm sorry if I offended you."
 
11:01 PM
Because it's not their right to decide for you.
@Wipqozn Lol.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn this
 
@fbueckert He's only referring to those who complain if someone likes it, in the same vein that complaining about someone disliking something they idolize.
 
@GnomeSlice It's their right to decide your opinion no longer matters to them.
 
@fbueckert And that would be fine if they'd just leave it at that.
 
@GraceNote Ah, the other end of the spectrum.
 
11:02 PM
Instead of trying to tell you why you're wrong all the time.
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, that would get really annoying.
 
@fbueckert That's... that's what @GnomeSlice basically called it. He even introduced it as "It goes the other way, too".
 
@GraceNote Just grin and bear it.
 
@GraceNote He clarified the statement about Ep. 1

11:03 PM
@Gnomeslice Without that, it sounded like you was falling into into the fanboy territory.
 
For the record @GnomeSlice, you are wrong to like the Star Wars prequels. That is all.
 
So we're all on the same page. Good!
 
@fbueckert Wat. How did you even get that? I was trying to be as clear as possible. =[
@Wipqozn Fuck off.
 
@GnomeSlice You used a derogatory term for those that didn't agree with you.
That tends to skew your points.
 
@fbueckert Heh. Yeah.
Okay.
 
11:04 PM
Less intellectual, much more emotional.
 
@fbueckert That's how I roll.
 
Lesson learned for the day!
 
@fbueckert What lesson?
 
@GnomeSlice If you want people to take you seriously, don't do that.
 
@fbueckert I've given up trying to get you guys to take me seriously.
Everywhere else on the internet I get taken seriously, because I DO do that.
 
11:05 PM
@GnomeSlice I'm talking about life in general.
We'd take you much more seriously if you wouldn't fly off the handle the instant somebody teases you about something.
 
@fbueckert Pffft
That's just my thing now.
It's what you guys want me to do.
 
Someone hits you with a joke at 1 on the scale, and you go off with with an 11.
 
I'm just an actor.
 
@GnomeSlice No, it's not.
 
@fbueckert lolololololol
 
11:06 PM
@GnomeSlice No, it really isn't.
 
Quit making excuses for your behavior.
 
@fbueckert Who needs excuses? I just like conversation.
Why are we talking about me now.
 
@GnomeSlice Conversation is one thing.
 
@GnomeSlice For the record, this is why you tend to get flagged more than other people. People get fed up with this kind of attitude.
 
@Wipqozn I get flagged because I curse and post pictures of women.
Apparently both of those things are offensive.
 
11:08 PM
Your willful ignorance of what is acceptable doesn't help either.
 
soooo, that's a real shame i was down voted so quickly after just stumbling into this stack. would appreciate some input on this re: your recommendations: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/95826/…
 
@Wipqozn Like I said, I give up trying to get you guys to like me. I'm respectable anywhere else.
@ylluminate That comment explains it pretty well.
 
@ylluminate Ask here. :P
 
Game Recommendation questions are off-topic here.
 
@fbueckert @GnomeSlice I think that's what he's doing.
 
11:09 PM
@Wipqozn Why did you ping me there.
 
that's what i just did fbueckert :)
 
I didn't ask him to do anything.
You know you guys didn't have to downvote it, you could have just closed it...
 
@ylluminate Hmm. The only thing I can think of is Artemis.
That's not fantasy, though.
 
@GnomeSlice Because you said that the comment explains it well which tells him to ask here which is what he's doing.
 
well, i'm open to just about anything even if not fantasy
 
11:10 PM
@ylluminate What about Castle Crashers?
It's more of a sidescrolling beat-em-up though.
@Ullallulloo I thought he was asking why he got downvoted.
 
@ylluminate Artemis is a "Bridge simulator", ala. Star Trek.
 
and if you find it in your heart to upvote my question here to help make up for losing all those points i'd appreciate it: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/95824/…
 
@GnomeSlice You did. I merged your post and @fbueckert in my brain.
In other words @fbueckert == @GnomeSlice.

Each player controls a single station, like Engineering, or Science.
Excuse me, I have a turtle that needs cooking.
 
11:12 PM
@ylluminate I'd also really recommend All Zombies Must Die. It's a funny, silly game that works best with more people, and has a level progression system like you mentioned.
 
boils @Wipqozn in soup.
3
 
@GraceNote Her name is at the tip of my tongue.
 
@ylluminate Like shooters though?
 
@fbueckert I love soup!
 
@Wipqozn Awesome!
 
11:13 PM
@Wipqozn I will be astounded if you can get her name from that particular mug shot.
 
Now you're part of it!
 
those all look interesting so far. will have to poke them. primarily looking for an mmorpg esque like i'd noted, but i'm open to others
the "quest giver" mentality is just ruining everything it seems
 
@ylluminate Also check out Magicka.
@ylluminate What, exactly, do you mean by that?
 
@GraceNote It's going to drive me nuts until I get it. I can picture her laughing.
 
@ylluminate It's the simplest way to give people things to do.
 
11:14 PM
we spend our time just catching up with each other and essentially soloing even though we're playing "together"
 
@ylluminate So you want something that's more sandboxy? Do what you want, when you want. Play together no matter what?
 
@ylluminate Spiral Knights?
 
@ylluminate Minecraft might be good too.
Or Dungeon Defenders.
 
@GnomeSlice I was going to suggest this.
It's not an RPG at all, but it is amazing if you have a group of people working together.
 
kinda like that @Invader yeah, but minecraft, for example, is too open ended to the point where it get's boring ultimately
 
11:15 PM
Someone, who isn't me, since I'm trying to shift my focus back to studying, should write up a detailed answer detailing why identify-this is terrible and that anyone who thinks otherwise is Literally Hitler:

Q: Are "Identify this" questions on-topic?

LeeHaiAre "Identify this manga" or "Identify this anime" questions on topic for the site? I'm wondering if we could incorporate a similar policy as that on SciFi.SE.

 
@ylluminate I found that problem too.
 
Guild Wars 2 is really good about scaling higher leveled players down to match the current goals of the lower level players.
 
@Wipqozn Most of us can't see these.
 
@GnomeSlice Some of us can though.
 
@Wipqozn "Studying" is now your keyword for "Remembering characters from information that is totally useless to identification"?
 
11:16 PM
hmm, dungeon defenders may be interesting. i've thought it would be nice to have a nice multiplayer tower defence that has leveling ability
 
@ylluminate It's very entertaining.
 
@GraceNote ...yes :(
 
One of my favourite games.
 
@Ullallulloo that spiral knights seems interesting
 
I think she's from an RPG.
 
11:17 PM
@Wipqozn Terrible here you mean. Aren't there other sites where it's allowed?
@ylluminate It's free too!
 
@GnomeSlice Yes, and they're objectively wrong for doing so.
 
@Wipqozn If you say so you whiner.
 
Objectively. Wrong.
@GnomeSlice You know, we can see your message history.
 
@Wipqozn I'm not sure this game is traditionally called such but I guess maybe sorta possibly?
 
@ylluminate If you have a PS3 you should check out Little Big Planet.
 
11:18 PM

A: Are "Identify this" questions on-topic?

StrixVariaNo, they should definitely be off topic. I wrote a rather huge essay on this topic on Gaming.SE. Rather than re-post it here, I will just link to that one. All of the points remain the same whether applied to games, anime, movies, etc.

I couldn't take it.
 
@GraceNote That was just a shot in the dark. The only thing I OH WAIT OH SNAP i THINK OKAY
hm, nope... maybe not...
 
unfortunately primarily macs and windoze. we do have an xbox, but not enough controllers to really allow all of us to play
 
I know it's wrong for us Gaming'ers to go about in other site's new metas to tell them how they should work. I couldn't resist

A: Should we have one tag per Anime/Manga series?

badpI suggest you consider not just holing yourselves into the "one tag per anime/manga" mindset for a number of reasons we learned the hard way in Gaming: Tag length limit. You'd be surprised how often this comes up. Want to talk about "Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation"? "assassins-creed-3-liberatio...

 
@Wipqozn @InvaderSkoodge @badp Congrats, they're going to start banning everyone from Gaming.
4
 
11:20 PM
Gaming hasn't seen enough bans of stuff recently.
 
@GnomeSlice I'd be so proud if this happened.
 
yes, that's me saying that "one game per tag" isn't quite the grand idea we thought it would be, while still being silent on the idea that once SE supports tags with more than 25 bytes, supporting tags with more than 25 characters becomes trivial
 
wow @GnomeSlice trine2 seems interesting
 
@Wipqozn I'll reiterate that, seriously, this mugshot is extremely unrevealing for identifying this girl. I mean, really, all you can tell is she's a blonde. I'm not sure even eye color is really discernable even in the highest resolution (nor am I certain that it's necessarily accurate).
 
...mostly in reply to other Gaming'ers who sing the laudes of "one game per tag" in my defense. cough @Wipqozn
 
11:21 PM
@GraceNote For a second I thought it may have been someone from No More Heroes... but I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Was just a passing thought.
 
@Wipqozn It's not.
 
@Wipqozn Geezers, did the whole mention of "Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly" tip you off?
 
@GraceNote It's something about the pose, her hair, and the collar. As soon as I seen it I just got this image of my head of her laughing in this way.
 
It's actually Bad Girl.
 
@GraceNote Oh, so I was right? Oh snap.
@GraceNote Kick ass!
Yeah, okay .I see what you mean. That's who I thought it was for a moment, but then I was like... no... it doesn't look that much like her...
 
11:23 PM
@GraceNote It is? Huh, I haven't gotten to her yet.
 
@GraceNote also, I didn't even notice you mention jelly.
@InvaderSkoodge <3 <3 <3 <3

Q: What does a greevil egg contain?

LuckWhat are the all of the different greevils that can hatch from a greevil egg? What essence combinations are required for each, and is it even possible to still get them after Diretide has ended?

 
I was originally going to pick one of the characters from Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly because, really, that'd be the perfect choice for the avatar for "Anime & Manga", but alas, not really finding a nice and usable image thus far. I didn't put a lot of effort into it, though, and I've had this Bad Girl image for a long time now.
 
Fuck I can't believe I forgot about Bad Girl...
 
I've cast my first close vote on Anime.SE
 
11:25 PM
@GnomeSlice To be fair, the picture doesn't look that much like her.
 
What's happened to me!? When did I become so intolerant to bad questions!?
 
It was just something about the way she was smiling that made me think of her. @GraceNote @GnomeSlice
 
Quite. While the full image, it's obvious, from just the headshot alone there's nothing really identifiable to her that way.
 
I'm quite proud of myself right now. I think it's well deserved.
 
(Her hair isn't 100% right, either - I mean, it evokes the likeness but in reviewing other images, it's kinda faint in comparison)
 
11:29 PM
@Wipqozn No I see it now.
 
@Wipqozn I love linking back to that.
 
@InvaderSkoodge I think it's the best meta post you've ever made.
IT's right up there with LessPop's Close Vote != Super downvote post.
 
Is it sad that the vast majority of questions on Anime.SE are about series I really don't like?
 
I haven't actually fought bad girl yet.
@fbueckert Why would that be sad?

Q: How do you explain to your friends that anime is different than cartoons?

hkBattousaiIn my region, people don't know the difference between anime and cartoons. When they see me watching anime, or they hear about it somehow, they say that I'm watching a cartoon and hence I'm being childish. Sometimes, they even display sarcastic attitudes, so that giving a serious long explanation...

They reopened that.
It could be good, but the title isn't very good.
 
11:34 PM
A little rum, little comfort food, and suddenly I'm in a much better mood. Funny how that happens
 
This is not constructive as worded because there is no canonical answer to how to convince someone something. If it were reworded as "What differentiates anime from cartoons?", that would be a valid question. — StrixVaria 7 secs ago
 
Here is a collection of all of the games I've seen mentioned here that I'll be looking at. Thought it might be convenient for someone else as well just to group them together:
Artemis
Castle Crashers
Bridge Simulator
All Zombies Must Die
Magicka
Spiral Knights
Dungeon Defenders
Trine 2
Minecraft (which I remarked on as not really a match for various reasons since we already have been playing it for over a year and it becomes boring after a while)
Guild Wars 2 (scales higher level players down to match goals of lower level toons)
 
Thanks folks. Appreciate the tips and hopefully we'll find something that really matches up here.
 
@GnomeSlice Because it shows that I probably won't be a big fan of the site?
Like I said, I stay away from mainstream anime.
 
11:36 PM
@InvaderSkoodge I really want to be active in this site right from the get go. I don't want it to become another Sci-Fi, filled with a bunch of speculation and "what if" questions.
 
@Wipqozn I'm going to have trouble getting active since I don't actually watch anime. It's just paining me to see them start off this way.
 
oh and again, any LoTRO players, would appreciate some input / upvotes on this: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/95824/…
thanks again!
 
@InvaderSkoodge I have a similiar problem. I used to watch anime on a regular basis on high school, but I don't watch it that much anymore.
 
@Wipqozn Putting "Spoiler" in the title, you mean?
 
I've watched a decent amount in the past, but mostly in series that I'd rather forget about anyway.
I was really big into Naruto and Bleach for a while.
 
11:39 PM
@Ullallulloo Yes.
@InvaderSkoodge Same here. I still read both mangas every week, but that's mostly because I was watching the series for so long I'm invested in the characters.
 
I would like to know how they end, but since neither one seems to have an end, I gave up.
I like things that end.
It should be planned out from start to finish before it starts. And then it should end.
 
@Wipqozn Oh, he also named his account the character's name and then refers to it in the first person.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Also, nicely said.
@InvaderSkoodge I'm sure they originally were, they just decided to keep stretching them for $$$.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Me too.
 
@Ullallulloo That didn't bother me. I thought that was fun.
 
11:42 PM
I only watched one anime series that ended, and it was awesome.
Elfen Lied.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Same. Which is part of the reason I don't watch as much anime as I used to. A lot of the mainstream ones go on for waaaay too long.
Also, everyone should read and watch Mushishi. SEriously. Drop everything and start reading it.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Mai HiME, if you like mecha, and a bit of a mindbend halfway through.
 
Whispered Cargo bundle on the Indie Gala Store.
 
Cargo is a... strange game.
 
11:45 PM
Will I seriously need to go into detail explaining why tossing Spoiler at the start of your title is a terrible idea?
 
@Wipqozn Make a meta.
 
@InvaderSkoodge I already made a meta about spoilers. I thought I covered it pretty well that shitty titles are shitty.
 
@Wipqozn Yes.
 
@Wipqozn Link to the meta and tell him to stop being stupid.
Except only do one of those things.
 
@InvaderSkoodge It's the stupid part, right?
 
11:46 PM
Probably.
@Wipqozn Also I can't stop listening to this. It pisses me off that I didn't take it seriously when my piano teacher forced me to play it, because it's so awesome.
 
@Wipqozn You didn't say anything about the word "Spoiler", though. From a certain reading, it can even be said that "If the title really can't avoid the spoiler, it should be included!" practically suggests adding "Spoiler" in front.
 
@GraceNote Yeah, I'll edit it to make it more specific.
 
I don't know why I even click Kickstarter links.
 
@GnomeSlice I missed this conversation, but all three of those are very childish.
@fbueckert You never sent me a link to that show like I asked

Q: How to tag a question about the universal laws

VegerI asked a question about the universal law of a manga. Similar to 'our' universal law of gravity we have in 'our' own universe. I was wondering whether I should use a tag to indicate that the question is about the rules of the universe of that manga? And what tag that would that be? rules see...

I really need to stop posting on the meta for a site I know I won't participate in.
 
@InvaderSkoodge Not participating has never stopped me from poking on the meta.
(And this is habit from before I got employed, mind you)
 
@GraceNote You are also a StackExchange employee, though.
Ninja!
