Q: Significance of Aang's left eye and hand lighting up

According to the Avatar series, the solar eclipse is when the Fire Nation was at its weakest. Why do Aang's left hand and eye light up? I don't believe he is left handed, so what is the significance?

@arda sounds like high quality trolling at this point

arda

@Hakase I don't even know at this point and that's bad

The fact that It can be troll or real is scary

Hakase

It's coz his left (ours right) half of the body is in the shadow, and it's a popular artistic effect to make objects "glow" in the dark and not glow on the bright side. This would be completely wrong in actuality. We've never seen only part of the avatar's glowing parts light up. This is pure artistic effect. — Hakase 1 min ago

can't believer this wasn't explained and closed instantly

@arda it's silly and doesn't deserve attention

but if there wasn't a "canonical" Q&A on meta on that topic, now there is and this is how it looks like

Q: Dealing with questions that get Community-bumped a lot

Since May 2016, data about when Community bumps a question to the front page has been available in the Data Explorer. This gives us a way to automatically identify questions that get kicked to the front page frequently. Specifically, this query captures a notion of questions that get bumped often...

@MadaraUchiha "This is the internet. People will talk and say things in whatever way they want, and educating them on these matters is not our goal."

I think it kinda is?

I'm still reading up on that post but I think it's perfectly reasonable to provide some guidance on how to communicate with each other on SE (not talking about all the places on the internet) coz we do have some "be nice" rules

it is with these responses that we're educating users what is normal and expected

@Mem I totally agree with everything up to the second break line, and I've lost you after that

just too many jokes and not enough essential reasonings imo

but before that is all great

did you just have all the fun you could coz you know nobody reads that far into meta answers?

Q: Our teacher is encouraging us to use cracked software

I'm taking a course on Mathematica, which is a bit expensive for me to afford. On the first lesson of this course, the teacher told us how to crack this software, and asked us to have Mathematica 11.0 installed on our computers by this Wednesday. However, I just don't want to use cracked software...

Hogwarts apparently has only one professor per subject.

Q: Why does the use of CGI in Anime seem unrealistic as compared to other western animations?

In recent times more and more series are animated with CGI, mostly a combination of 3d objects with 2d Illustrations. For example the Berserker in Fate/Zero. More recent example include Ajin, Kingdom etc. God Eater also used CGI techniques for animation. However, except a few scenes, I always fe...

Gao

10:52

@Sakamoto Western animators have more skills in making 3D objects? <--- That's what I think

Hakase

definitely

also it's not easy to tastefully combine 2d and 3d

not many art-directors in general have that skill

sometimes they just throw money in the studios and just ship whatever they come up with

"we gotta have 3d guys"

Gao

But I have yet to see full 3D anime of comparable quality to western 3D animations. The closest off the top of my head is probably Oblivion Island.

Actually no, it's Gantz: O

Hakase

I don't think anime and movie budgets are comparable

I'd like to see some stats tho

could ask a question if you want

@Hakase Not likely, see anime.stackexchange.com/questions/856/…

KnK experts: is male SHIKI gay?

Memor-X

@Hakase i don't know. when i was asked to proof read it again i didn't understand what i wrote.....not sure what happened in my mind at that point

in the end it was a hassle to fix so i removed it

@Gao i get the feeling he was, but also because the body he, Shiki and Void inhabit is female it makes him strait

Hakase

11:32

I have no fucking idea what is going on in knk but I liked the battle episode a lot so there's that

Gao

having just watched knk: mirai fukuin i now rank knk as the best series by ufotable, ahead of fate/zero

Memor-X

@Hakase which one is that one? the one where Shiki has the sword? the one Shiki fights the girl who can bends things? the one Shiki fights ghosts or the one Shiki fights a cannibalistic psycho who's in love with her

@Gao have you seen the previous movies?

Hakase

no the twin towers

Gao

@Memor-X have seen everything, in natural order, but don't remember much besides the battles

Hakase

and there was a whole talk-only episode which my brain completely filtered out to nothing

Gao

11:36

The series where Yuki Kajiura's music is the most fitting

@Hakase the epilogue, it was boring

Hakase

yea I don't care about those relationships at all

Memor-X

@Hakase Paradox Spiral, the one Shiki has a sword

Hakase

it's so emotionless

these guys don't feel like humans

Memor-X

@Hakase that might be the first one, before Shiki entered a coma, or Gates of the Seventh Heaven Redux

Hakase

I mean the yellow/orange-colored one where they're just standing on some road

Memor-X

11:37

@Gao oh yeh there was that one but it does give some great insight of why Shiki is so special

@Hakase yeh that's the last one where Kokuto is talking to Void

Gao

@Memor-X didn't help that i still don't know what happened because i didn't watch in chronological order, but mirai fukuin really cleared up a lot of questions

@Gao i got the limited edition set of i had all the movies and had the chronological order list on hand so i could watch it in that order. given it's not meant to be viewed in that order because the guy who's like Kotomine makes his appearance and shows his involvement in others Shiki later on fights before they actually occur

Q: How do I watch Kara no Kyoukai?

I've seen the hour and a half movie called Kara no Kyoukai: Mirai Fukuin and the story seemed very incomplete. Later I discovered that it was a compilation of longer episodes of a series. I'm not sure how I can fix my experience and in what order to watch the other animes with this title.

kara-no-kyoukai

^The answers aren't complete

Mirai Fukuin jumps back and forth in time and is essential to understanding the story

also i wonder why watching in chronological order wouldn't make sense, as senshin claimed

maybe i'll add my answer after the 3rd re-watch

i have come to appreciate knk more, the plot isn't bad

Memor-X

@Gao don't know. aside from that bit at the end of one of the episodes showing the Kotomine guy it made sense to me.

Gao

@Memor-X kotomine from fate?

Memor-X

@Gao if you take a close look alot of the characters have counterparts in Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime. Fujino is like Sakura, Kokuto is like Tohno, Azaka is like Akiha, that boy from that twin tower apartment complex kinda looks like Shirou, that guy who made the system kinda resembles Kotomine and Touko with her suitcase is like her sister Aoko

@Gao ^ yes, that Fate

Gao

11:52

@Memor-X You mean Souren Araya who resembles Kotomine, or does Kotomine actually appeared in one of the episodes?

@Memor-X no wonder so many forbidden love, the relationship just mirrors each other

Memor-X

@Gao the former, i couldn't remember his name at first but yeh if you wuickly look at him and Kotomine they kinda look similar

Memor-X

12:04

@Gao well i do remember reading that Kara no Kyoukai isn't set in the same universe as Fate and Tsukihime so maybe there are prototypes. like show Savior in Old Fate was the prototype for Arturia

windows microsoft-onenote

my q

does anybody know how to modify onenote's resource files or something to set the fonts to bright and the backgrouds to dark?

idk where I could ask about it too coz SO doesn't do that and in general this is modifying app resources which is probably against the terms of service

problem though is that the dark theme doesn't mean any of the notes get dark

it's still 80% white

onetastic scripts modify the pages' xml and make everything weird

and there's no easy ctrl-z for that

99% of the time your notes will get fucked up with those scripts

it's a tough world if you have different lighting conditions during your time at the computer :p

I would be totally fine with inverted colors if only that could be limited to specific windows, and not the whole display

like winkey+plus and then enable color inversion

@Hakase ex-goddamn-actly

I want people to share and edit my stuff, so I ~~sell~~ make it completely free with a WTFPL. Why isn't that ok for you, unity?

Hakase

right, that's what confused me in the response from some Alex that another user emailed unity about

the response said "purchase" when I was talking about free assets

they are just a stupid bureaucratic machine imo and they're gonna keep having stupid problems if they make it hard for people to upload free stuff

just like their stupid unity answers which requires registration with an email, confirmation by email and then approving the question that you post

no wonder their tags over there are complete chaos

bad unity!
