Q: what is noitaminA?

I only know that noitaminA is Animation written backward. It sometime appear on the beginning of anime. But does it have any meaning? in Anime-Planet it is considered as a tag/genre. In MyAnimeList it is considered as a broadcast block. I don't really get it either way.

@ton.yeung same can be said for Lolis.....or shiny things

For the moment I'm fairly close to getting "upboated". Not sure if meta posts count, but I either need 1 or 2 more posts with at least +2.

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer, musician, and actor. One of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King". Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley and his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee, when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, when he started to work with Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun Records. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was an early popularizer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-dri...

Logan M

@Memor-X Actually, surprisingly few people seem to care about hats.

By "surprisingly few", I mean essentially just me for the time being.

No one else from anime SE is seriously trying

Braiam

@LoganM normally I would get the hats without doing anything new... just the "same" I've doing all along

Logan M

@Braiam I would too, but there are some that I don't usually do.

@krikara Not going to happen, but I do have a post upcoming which will hopefully net me a few hats.

krikara

@LoganM Why not? Is your love for hats not strong enough?

You must believe in me who believes in you :P

Logan M

@krikara It's more because being primarily on a fairly inactive site like this is a pretty big hinderance. I just can't compete long-term with Manish, who can get hats on MSO, Physics, and Chemistry, or even kalina who is getting hers on MSO and Arqade.

Mysticial

I'm happy just enough to get a hat at all since I don't really do anything.

Logan M

If no one does anything it will be hard for me to get the bounty hat :(

krikara

What's the bounty hat?

Oh u gotta win and award one lol

Logan M

@krikara Yeah if it was legal we could just trade bounties, but it seems that isn't allowed.

krikara

Did you manage to steal any check marks yet?

That one seems like it can be easy if you post an answer to a question with an outdated answer; provided that the OP is still somewhat active and cares.

And in this stack exchange, so many answers are outdated

Logan M

I have that hat; in fact, it's the one I'm wearing.

krikara

Oh , which ones are you missing?

Logan M

Besides the timed ones and secret ones, I need the self-answer hat, upboated (1 vote away from this one), Mr. Binx (need 8 more questions each with at least +1), Full House (need 1 more answer with at least +5), tumbleweed hat, Gold badge hat (again, this one is timed to work out fine as long as I don't miss any days on MO), the 20 hats hat, both bounty hats, the comments hat, both flags hats, and robocop (need to hit 3k on Math first, then it should be easy).

I've already given up on the meta guru badge hat.

krikara

5:20 AM

Shouldnt you already have the 20 hats hat?

Eric

@LoganM What is the "Chuck Yeager" hat for?

Logan M

Has to be 20 hats on one site earned after the start of the thing, so I'll get it when I hit 21 on Anime alone.

@Eric fgitw

Eric

Oh.

Memor-X

@LoganM if you get the 20 hats hat when you get 21 hats on anime wouldn't that mean you got a hat before Winterbash started?

Logan M

@Memor-X I had the old hat for anime when Winterbash started. That one doesn't count.

Memor-X

5:35 AM

how do you get the Chuck Yeager hat, i just got it without doing anything

Logan M

@Memor-X You have to post an answer quickly. Not sure of the exact details.

Memor-X

@LoganM what, like within a minute of someone else, then that would've have been my answer to that FMA question

Logan M

@Memor-X Soon after the question is posted. Again, not sure of details, but you probably have to be the first answerer, get upvoted, and there's probably some overall time limit too.

Memor-X

that's the only answer i've given today

Yeah must be 30 minutes or something then.

I got mine from this one which was around 14 minutes later.

krikara

I bet you if it was a different person asking that question, they would have gotten downvotes.

more downvotes than upvotes*

Logan M

@krikara kalina did get a lot of downvotes on that one.

Memor-X

wasn't there a question on Stack Overflow of someone just copying and pasting a popular question, maybe try that

Logan M

@Eric What's you're opinion on the 2 bad answers here. Are they just really poor answers, or not answering the question at all?

Eric

@LoganM I marked both for deletion. The "I strongly believe" is a subjective answer with no fact to back it up, finishing with anything but a definitive statement. The "Yes, it is made up" seems to be an attempt to popularize December 15th, not really answering the question.

Logan M

5:46 AM

Makes sense.

krikara

It is a really hard question to answer though. Because it seems like JNat's usage of Otaku is only pertaining to anime/manga fanatics when otaku is actually a broader term.

Logan M

lol @Eric I just noticed that despite not even doing hats, you're tied for #3 on Anime SE for most hats.

Eric

@LoganM ... Oh, what the hell. Worst WinterBash ever.

And then considering different regions, a day labeled as otaku day would be different in different countries

@Eric Gogogogo for rank #1 in hats :)

IOW, Nanoha is your Waifu. That's okay, she's a lot of people's Waifu. :D

@Mysticial technically i was Fate and that's why Len didn't like the dream

It implies that there's a lot different between being in a relationship with a 2D person vs a 3D person.

Maybe that's true if you don't take your 2D relationships seriously, but I've always found it to be demeaning.

I think that post was discussed in particular some time ago, probably in one of our chat sessions. It was considered one of the questions which, "since it has a well defined scope, it can be one of the exceptional list questions we leave open". However, I think it's being misused, since there is a CW answer. I think that answer was supposed to be accepted, and anything new should be edited into it. Not sure, though. And couldn't find anything on it.

Memor-X

The whole build a relationship and marry someone then play as your child kinda looses it's gleam in Agarest Generations of War, excluding final generation marriages since you don't play as your child after that most marriages seemed forced since it's the persons "duty" to get married and have a child, kinda worse in Agarest Generations of War 2, the Dark Birth Scene is horrifying almost as if the heroine has given up and accepting to practically be raped, made worse with Swatz being a real c***

it seems only Agarest Generations of War Zero was the only good one as Sieg chooses his wife not out of duty (while Azart does say that Mimel's power has also developed in one of the heroines) but purely because out of love. Agarest Generations of War 2 is just dark in general, just looking at the concept images it looks like Eva is molested by shadows i saw a youtube clip of Mobious torturing Fiona and making it sound NSFW and the Minerva CG is just her being abused by Dannos

and then there's Swatz, i can get him lashing out because he has no future but still the way he talks about the Maidens of the Pillar, how he thinks that Venessa hating him will make it even more better when he breaks her, how the other 2 heroines say that they can do whatever he wants to them and he takes pleasure in hering that, the only good thing about him is that he is at lest submissive to Fiona's scolding and was truly concerned when Eva revealed Fiona's Fate

puts the UK's censor on Fiona into perspective, sure, we'll have CG of Eva molested and Minerva abused but we wont have Bath house CG of young Fiona where even in Agarest Generations of War with young Ellis anything naughty was natrually covered with steam or leaves

@Mysticial There's one or two like that this year.

@Mysticial Usually it only takes about 5 minutes for hats to appear. Maybe it's slower on SO though.

Mysticial

There was like an hour delay from my 3rd hat to the 3-hat thingy, IIRC.

@LoganM There's a hat for voting specifically today?

Logan M

I did get one hat for "helping" to close a question. So clearly it's doing something

@Mysticial Not today, on other days.

Actually just Christmas.

Mysticial

@LoganM The day where they gave the hat last year was a new record.
