@ton.yeung have no choice, been told that my position is becoming redundant by the end of june
@ton.yeung i know. main problem is that i can't seem to find any IT programming jobs which is what i'm good at. at least locally, plenty in Melborune but that's a 2 hour drive and i ain't moving there
the only it job i wont do, ever, is customer support. i do that at home and hate it plus i am no good dealing with people. a tleast with IT Programming i'm in the background and rarely interact with others
but with the lack of jobs i'm willing to even settle for a full-time position in KFC if it secures me and 50k a year income
 
12:30 AM
@ton.yeung credit unions ftw
 
@MadaraUchiha I think mere mention to the title and author of hentai material should not make the content invalid on our site. Linking andposting sexually explicit images from the hentai material is prohibited, though.
cc @jnat to get some clarification

A: How should we handle potentially NSFW content from questions and answers?

Tim PostIt's pretty safe to define 'explicit' as any content that a normal user of the site would not want to be observed observing. It's content or links to content that you wouldn't want your spouse / children / parents walking in to find you viewing. In other words, it's offensive or embarrasing to th...

^Given that the response there wasn't "We don't want this here" but "you should think about whether to allow this", I don't think SE Inc. has a firm policy on the matter.
 
I want to know whether it will harm them in anyway if we allow mention of hentai titles - as in search engine blacklist and stuffs
Madara closed several yaoi questions lately, which I personally find OK
 
12:46 AM
I have a hard time believing it will affect search engines dramatically.
Sites like MAL have pages for hentai, and yet they still do quite well in rankings. So does Wikipedia, which has basically no restrictions on sexually explicit content.
I've heard people say things like "if we allow this, Google may blacklist the site", but that just sounds like fear-mongering. The only example I can remember of that actually happening is Sankaku Complex in 2010 or so, and that block was quickly removed. I don't think we're in any danger if that's the standard.
 
@LoganM google wouldn't blacklist a site just because of a mention of henati would they? you can google Fakku just fine
 
@Memor-X That's basically what I just said.
I don't know the specifics of Google's algorithm, and neither does anyone else other than Google's own engineers. But from the data I can see, it doesn't look like blacklisting is anything to worry about.
 
@LoganM well i don't know what happened with Sankaku Complex so i don't know what the bots may have picked up on
 
1:01 AM
As far as I know, Google is only really interested in removing sites that are abusive (e.g. malware) or which they get DMCA takedown requests for.
It is possible that questions about hentai may have some negative effect on our page rank, but I'm quite sure that it won't result in us being removed entirely.
 
If that's the case, then I think some questions can be reopened
 
1:31 AM
@Memor-X Thats Yuuki konno, shes in the second half of sword art online II
 
@AdamNicholls thanks, explains why i don't know her yet
 
2:10 AM
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls Limited Edition is available for pre-order on NISA's US Store while nothing on the European Store, getting the feeling that NISA is ignoring Europe, or i could blame the devs for forcing an US Only licences
it seems to be an FPS set outside the controled areas the previous games are set in so you're running around killing variants of Monokuma. might give some insight into the state of the world
 
2:38 AM
@Memor-X Licensing of things like this generally operates on the principle that it's much easier for the consumer to buy from overseas than it is for the distributor to sell overseas.
It's the same reason you don't see much in the way of licenses to distribute in Russia, India, and Brazil, even though they're among the top 10 largest economies in the world. The people who really want things will import them at a slightly higher price, and the demand is rather inelastic so there's little more revenue to be had by eliminating that.
 
2:53 AM
Amazing: the discussion at meta.stackexchange.com/questions/256765 is still going, even though it was closed almost 24 hours ago.
 
@LoganM but NISA doesn't even ship to them anymore, if you look here if you want to buy from NISA and are in one of those countries you have to use their European Store which is separate stock of only games, no anime and no merch. not to mention i never saw a statement of why they needed a European store in the first place when they handled overseas orders just fine originally.
now if they said they were loosing money by doing overseas shipping i could accept it but so far it just looks like Square Enix, sell all the merch and games primary for the US Store, EU Store get a very limited selection. so far Idea Factory has kept consistent between both stores but the only item that isn't is a Nendoroid of Noire and that was limited sale 1 per customer
 
@Memor-X Like I said, NISA has more to lose than to gain shipping overseas. Plenty of 3rd party vendors will already do that for them.
#unonebox
gaiz I thought we agreed that @Taisho should be only posting SFW stuff.
That last image is definitely not SFW, in the sense that I definitely wouldn't want anyone seeing it over my shoulder at work on my screen. It would raise too many questions.
 
@LoganM most of their stuff (merch, Limited Editions) you can only buy in their website so i don't see how they loose money because in the end third parties are buying though NISA.
 
3:09 AM
@Memor-X Third parties can distribute pretty much anywhere without worrying about licensing issues. However, the license itself often limits the ability of the licensing company to distribute to those countries where they licensed it. So it's quite possible that they legally can't sell the stuff overseas.
off-topic: New site design for android.stackexchange.com is very blue. I clicked a question with a rather long title (android.stackexchange.com/questions/109833) and it looked like I'd accidentally highlighted the whole header.
 
@LoganM why is it blue? shouldn't it be green to follow the theme of the Android Logo? or did google change the theme to be blue?
 
I don't really know.
I guess the logo is usually green, but android itself defaults to a bluish color scheme.
but I honestly don't know. What I do know is that the site looks very blue.
 
3:43 AM
arigato
here's the user if a mod around has time to nuke it: anime.stackexchange.com/users/14580/dat1niggayoumetonthephone
 
I left a mod flag to rename/destroy the user, so they'll get around to it eventually.
 
Great! :)
 
off-topic: Biology graduated. Their new design has what appears to be hourglasses for badges (not sure why). Also SOPT, though that one isn't very interesting since there's relatively little visible difference.
 
@LoganM it's a double helix
 
No, I'm pretty sure it isn't.
 
3:54 AM
looks like one to me
 
The two "strands" are 180 degrees out of phase.
In DNA they definitely aren't. I don't remember precisely, but I'm pretty sure it's closer to 90 degrees than 180.

Q: Why in World Trigger do the characters have times when their face gets blank during dialog

stevebot Why is it that the characters faces do this at various points in the dialog and what is it meant to convey? I wonder if perhaps this is a Japanese culture or anime culture expression that I have not seen before?

 
O_O
me want
droll face
 
@ton.yeung probably quicksand.
 
4:02 AM
it's blood
 
what i find interesting is that the product description says "from the popular anime 'Kizumonogatari'". i didn't realize it was out yet unless they mean the novel
 
@ton.yeung also by another angle you can see the painted rocks giving the illusion there is more depth

Q: Is the new movie the end? Of Heaven's Lost Property?

user14581Is this new movie the end there are so many loopholes in the story. That have yet to be filled in. I hope after this movie they still continue the show and pick up on season 3.

 
@Memor-X nice paint job
¥11,800
 
4:07 AM
@ton.yeung i don't get it, what has mats got to do with it?
 
@ton.yeung $100 is pretty average for a 1/8 scale figure. Certainly there are cheaper ones, but you could easily pay a lot more as well (e.g. for anything with "Fate" in the name).
Also, I'd think $100 would last a lot longer than a week of food. I usually eat at home, and it rarely comes out to more than $5 per day.
Well, first, you're buying shrimp. Which isn't exactly cheap.
Also, you're buying from Whole Foods, which means you're paying way more than you should be.
That's absurd.
@ton.yeung I don't read reports about what's in food in general. A lot of it is just fear-marketing.
@ton.yeung I don't eat seafood anyway.
Too expensive and it doesn't taste good.
My sense of taste is pretty simple.
If it has lots of garlic or is spicy, it tastes good. Otherwise it doesn't.
It's an advocacy group. They're probably the same people who are creating all this controversy on pesticide use and GMOs. Definitely not people I pay attention to.
Honestly, I didn't even know that different species of shrimp cost different amounts.
Anyway, I can't even imagine spending anywhere near $30 per day on food. For that price you could eat at nice restaurants every meal.
 
4:25 AM
@LoganM for about a third of that you can get one Adults Works at Pizza Hut and eat all you want, whether it's pizza or salad
@ton.yeung i think so
 
I don't think I could eat a pizza without cheese. Sounds disgusting.
 
@LoganM i can only do it if the cheese was replaced with an equal amount of sauce
 
@Memor-X Depends what kind of sauce I guess. If it's tomato sauce that would just make things worse. But maybe if it was hot sauce I'd try it.
Actually pizza with just crust, hot sauce, and garlic sounds pretty good. Maybe I'll try that.
 
@LoganM sounds like a Magarita without cheese to me
 
4:34 AM
Tobasco isn't really hot sauce.
 
@ton.yeung sauce can be chnanged. a Meat Lovers is still a Meta Lovers regardless if you use tomato or bbq
 
No, a margherita is not a margherita if you use something other than tomato sauce.
 
@ton.yeung a drink made from liquefying Bloody Merry after you capture her?
 
oh god
 
@ton.yeung You do not have permission to use the command undo
 
4:37 AM
why @ton.yeung
 
poor @HoiHoi-san.
 
you have doomed us all
but uh yeah I know that drink I think
 
@ton.yeung It means I aint got time to learn your $5 words
@ton.yeung The Gods of Wikipedia did not bless us
 
A Bloody Mary is a popular cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and combinations of other spices and flavorings including Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, piri piri sauce, beef consommé or bouillon, horseradish, celery, olives, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and celery salt. It has been called "the world's most complex cocktail". == History == The Bloody Mary's origin is unclear, and there are multiple conflicting claims of who invented the Bloody Mary. Fernand Petiot claimed to have invented the Bloody Mary in 1921, well before any of the later claims. He was working...
it's cause you added an extra r :P
 
Like I said, tobasco isn't really hot sauce at all. Even their hottest habanero sauce is 7000 Scoville units, and the original one is around half that. I usually only use sauces with over 100k units or more.
I think most people have probably tried Dave's Insanity Sauce, it's rather popular. That's pretty decent, though I usually try to go a bit hotter.
 
4:43 AM
@Sakamoto is this even out yet?
 
!!wiki Dave's Insanity Sauce
 
Dave's Gourmet is a company notable for creating and introducing Dave's Insanity Sauce, which formerly held the title of "world's hottest sauce." The sauce is widely distributed through gourmet hot sauce boutiques and online hot-sauce sites. == History == The original Dave's Insanity Sauce premiered around 1993 and was one of the first sauces to be made directly from capsaicin extract, allowing it to be hotter than the hottest habanero-pepper sauces of the day. It has been rated at 180,000 Scoville units, compared with 2,500-5,000 for Tabasco sauce. Part of the intrigue behind the sauce n...
 
If you want something for a prank, there are better choices.
There are even hotter ones, but that one is probably the best value.
 
@Memor-X if you're talking about Sora no Otoshimono Final movie, yes, it is out last year
 
5:07 AM
Isn't guaifenesin just the active ingredient?
I wouldn't think it has much effect on the taste of the medicine.
 
It's just the same stuff they use in Mucinex, DayQuill, Robitussin, and probably other similar medicines.
Usually the taste of medicine has little to do with the active ingredients.
 
@Taisho unless this is from Arrietty i question how it's on topic
 
Do you mean codeine?
Doubt it.
Don't really know though, since I haven't bought any medicine in years.
It's probably stronger then.
In any case, the active ingredient of the drug doesn't determine how it tastes, so if one brand tastes bad, you can potentially try a different one.
 
@ton.yeung yes
 
5:16 AM
Generic brands usually have the least incentives to make their medicine taste good.
 
@ton.yeung I don't think so, yes, yes.
@ton.yeung Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
 
@ton.yeung Out of my collection of those i have actually played i would say Etrian Odyssey Untold. Dungeon Crawler with a first person perspective similar to Persona Q (so i am told) but the mechanic i love about it is how you draw the maps for each floor.
otherwise i could suggest Golden Sun: Dark Dawn but i haven't played it yet nor know how much you need to know of the previous games to understand it
but they are for 3DS and DS respectively. nothing about the New 3DS
 
@ton.yeung Ocarina of Time is no 1 afair
 
Senran Kagura has some 3ds games.
 
@ton.yeung etrian mystery dungeon is a crossover
me? not yet
@ton.yeung yesh
yes
 
5:30 AM
@ton.yeung haven't played Etrian Mystery Dungeon but looking at Wikipedia nothing much, custom character creation (in Etrian Odyssey Untold that's only in Classic Mode), Dungeon Crawling, D.O.E/F.O.E. however it doesn't say if you make the maps in it or not in Mystery Dungeon and the Dungeon(s) in Etrian Odyssey Untold isn't randomly generated
 
O hi yo
 
@ton.yeung what
Oh
 
5:33 AM
@Memor-X Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker is better imo
@ton.yeung yes
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ havn't got it
@ton.yeung haven't seen the anime so no idea how it compares
 
#potato
 
Persona Q is good too
 
5:35 AM

ok this feels much better
to the primitive shower device!
 
well at least you shower
 
5:51 AM
not technically shower coz there's no hot water
can't stand the cold
gotta heat up and use utensils to pour over myself
in 7 days it's gon b back
can't wait
 
@ton.yeung trade it in
@ton.yeung I'm sorry you didn't like it
@ton.yeung I'm at fault for making you buy it
 
@Memor-X what can you do in IT? I'm still in the very beginning of my IT career and I don't really know what to do next after I quit my first badly underpaying job, so I'm interested in learning what others chose and why
 
@Hakase I'm a programmer so i hope to continue doing development but there's also visual design, network administration, help desk
 
6:08 AM
@ton if you're gonna get a Etrian Odyssey, get 4
check out the eshop for the demos
 
afaik servicing (non-development) pays less and is usually more specialized, so harder to switch jobs in the future
but I don't know much anyway, so :p
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ i got that but haven't played it, was going to play Untold, 2, 3 and 4 but not sure if i should hold out until Untold 2 is released
 
Etrian Odyssey has a story (IMO quite a good one), it's just not given as much weight as the gameplay
if you want a character driven story, the Untold spinoff series trades the series's custom character creation for a much more animated and very talkative cast akin to Tales or Final Fantasy
@ton.yeung some find this tedious and so did I at first but it's something you warm up to
@ton.yeung Mario & Luigi–Dream Team Bros is worth a look
 
Nyanpasu~
 
@ton.yeung best buy is having a buy one get another half off sale for 3ds
 
6:23 AM
Best buy is an American store chain, right?
 
@AsadaShino Meowing~
 
@AsadaShino Yes, specifically for electronics.
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Meowning~ :3
@LoganM I see
 
I think they have some stores in other countries as well, but I don't know.
 
@LoganM Never seen one in Holland at least :P
 
6:27 AM
I know they're in Mexico and Canada, not sure about anywhere else.
 
@AsadaShino I guess it's like Dixons
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I see, had to look up Dixons, since I never go there, I don't even know if there's one near me xD But yeah, sounds like it
 
@AsadaShino maybe Mediamarkt too
 
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I have gone there recently, but there's none near where I live. There is one near where I work though. But mediamarkt is so expensive compared to quite a few other stores~ xD
But yeah, you're right :P
 
we got mediamarkt

Though it seems they have changed quite a few prices. It used to be much more expensive than other stores. Guess that's good news :P
@Taisho Not sure if happy face or obsessed face ._.
Though blush does say happy, but the eyes say crazy/obsessed
 
also zombified which is creepy
I'm a big anime fan in general, but this type of art style is something I can't handle
 
Yesterday I watched the first 2 episodes of Toaru Majutsu, after seeing a scene in which a guy stops a car without even looking at it, seemingly with his mind. That looked cool, so far I'm not really too impressed, as the MC seems so lame (in terms of power/ability)~ ._.
Have I been spoiled by Mahouka/NGNL?
 
NGNL no, Mahouka yes.
 
Also binge-watched last part of Frieza saga, Cell saga and first part of Buu saga of DBZ Kai over the weekend~ Nostalgia trip and a half
xD
 
6:39 AM
@AsadaShino I'd say yandere face
 
@OshinoShinobu Sounds about right, yeah :P
 
Saya isn't really yandere. Somewhat tsundere though.
 
@ToshinouKyouko evening?
 
morning
 
morning
 
6:48 AM
k time to move
 
seeya~
 
@LoganM tsundere face usually angry and blushing, she have dead eyes and smiling
 
No, I'm saying I know she isn't yandere.
 
oh, I don't know her
 
Her face is normally completely serious when she gets violent, like this:
 
6:52 AM
ok who is she
 
Doesn't ever go into yandere mode really.
 
@OshinoShinobu from little busters if i am guessing the uniform correctly
 
Tokido Saya from Little Busters EX
 
still look like yandere tho
never watch it
 
I guess there probably is an anime of EX, but I haven't watched it either.
Just read the VN. The anime looked okay, but the VN is clearly better.
 
6:55 AM
I think I have Little Buster VN
but I haven't read it
not really into VN
