Maid Café (メイド喫茶)

Hakase

00:00

Sorry, I'm not ignoring your answer, I'm just pouting because I wanted a 300-page exegesis on the multiple layered symbolisms of chairs throughout Madoka and the entire Shaft oeuvre that would tie it all into a coherent semiotic framework capable of interpreting every appearance of a chair in any Shaft work, and the answer seems to be "it was a throwaway reference to some anime you've never seen". — Torisuda Mar 24 '15 at 21:15

:)

Torisuda

That was not one of my finer moments, but even if that's the right answer, it's not the answer I wanted.

And thanks for bringing some life to some of my old questions.

Hakase

eh no probs

reddit.com/r/woahdude/comments/51fvn3/giant_air_cannon

looks like ton left us for good

probably coz of senshin's election

Torisuda

I swear someone in a game had that air cannon as their magic.

And I hope ton's not gone for good.

Hakase

I thought I was going away but then I came back

Torisuda

I tried to take a month-long break a while ago, but after a week I was back.

Hakase

00:11

I just don't think there's a better place for me right now

maybe I'll find it sometime, maybe not

I can't formulate exactly what it is but I guess it's the relaxed atmosphere

this reminds me of my idea to get this chat room themed as a comfy cafe

wonder how the site design is going

Torisuda

With cats. It's gotta have cats.

Hakase

eeh idk about cats in a cafe, they are hairy and hair is not a good addition to food

we have one cat but he's plastic or something

Torisuda

Well, maybe keep the cats in a little caged off area away from the food.

Hakase

never been to a cat cafe but I imagine it's quite different from just handling a normal cat in more common conditions

from the vids I've seen those cats are kinda dumb

I like cats with character, not those inert bodies

Torisuda

True. It usually takes some time to develop trust with a cat and that can't really happen during a thirty-minute visit to a cat that you share with hundreds of other people per day.

Hakase

00:15

it's gotta drive cats mad and they don't register people as persons at such volume of interactions

well, I guess I'll find out when I do visit a cat cafe, which is not happening anytime soon

Torisuda

I also have some doubts that the cafes treat the cats very well.

Hakase

I just wanna know more about the state of the site design and chat design too

ya that's also my concern

Torisuda

I slipped into the top 75 on Computer Science when it got a design, and JNat happened to be the CM for that site too so when I saw his email in my inbox I thought Anime and Manga was finally getting a design.

Bit of a disappointment.

Hakase

nah I don't think it's gonna happen instantly

it's probably gonna be an iterative process with accepting feedback from us

Torisuda

Last time we had a post about it we were all over the place.

Hakase

00:18

coz we had no direction

Torisuda

I think Japanese Language's design has real style, but it's taken already.

Hakase

when the artist shows what he thinks he could do for us and what would make sense, then we can talk under his supervision

Torisuda

Yeah, I've noticed on CS and Worldbuilding the designer talked about visual themes for the subject and that helped guide the discussion.

Hakase

mm yes it looks alright

Torisuda

I really like CS's design too, though it wouldn't work for us. Not a fan of that red on Movies and TV.

Hakase

00:20

and btw I've noticed some other sites pop up with a very similar color scheme to worldbuilding

red is bad

for using a site for a long time it's a huge strain on the eyes

Torisuda

Puzzling looks pretty similar to WB. And there were complaints that its logo looks too much like The Workplace's.

Hakase

yup

pretty confusing at times

Torisuda

Our current logo I actually like. Just take the kanji out of that blue square and maybe fancy it up a little.

@Taisho uhmm, can anyone open this?

clicking on it doesn't work

ok, I can open my copy, so internet should be ok. hmm

could it be that google disabled that thing in certain countries?

@Hakase if so, prepare protocol killarda'sserver

arda

yeah and the background artist seems lazy

Hakase

now comes the worst part − washing dishes :L

кяαzєя

@arda it's a one off screenshot that's not representative of gameplay... you should reconsider

arda

@кяαzєя I usually don't mind the screenshots, but well: there are some cases where I like the original thingy, in this case the anime, but not the game. I didn't like the anime. I couldn't stand it actually. Dropped in ep2. There are some cases where I like the game but not the original thingy, I actually considered this based on vids and screenshots, but the gameplay or the graphics didn't make my want to drop 30usd on it.

кяαzєя

@arda ok i won't tell you what to like, just give things a try before you put it off

arda

@кяαzєя sorry if I sounded a bit rude :/

(looks at clock 4am dammit)

кяαzєя

01:10

s'ok go watch/read more anime/manga

arda

@кяαzєя haha I wish I had time to do stuff now. I'm a bit behind on our scrum board, rushing stuff to catch up with stuff

Hakase

hmm I'm interested to see what you're working on

but please don't break any ndas for me :p

arda

@Hakase cool stuff is happening, but you'll have to wait until our public announcement :) We didn't prep legal stuff yet, so we don't really have a written nda, but more like a verbal nda to prevent old and unpolished stuff being associated with our final product

@Darjeeling he did say that he'd be more active

he seems like a busy guy

Tyhja

@arda taisho shows up for me fine

i think its your country again

arda

might be regional

Tyhja

however it still might be a concern for other people

arda

ok I can see with VPN

2 possibilities: 1) dammit erdogan 2) google is killing our cat slowly

Tyhja

01:36

@arda this is actually true.

i thought you guys tested with another source already?

arda

@Tyhja literally none worked. I have backup of stuff on my server tho. replace googledrive.com/host with ardao.me/host

Hakase

so far only arda has issues

so far…

@Gao ~_~ gaogao ~_~

@Tyhja you didn't nominate yourself for mod. i'm disappointed

Tyhja

01:57

@Gao psh i have liek 1/5 of your rep. where's your nomination

@Gao I blame him for it

@arda the elusive time between work and sleep

arda

@кяαzєя what's a sleep

jokes aside, I really need to do better time management

кяαzєя

@arda that's a mystery no one can answer yet

Hakase

@arda what's actually better for you may be different from what's normal to most

arda

Hakase

ok that's not good for anyone

sleep has to be gotten

7 hours at least

8-9 at best

sleep until you don't feel like you don't know what you're doing

that's your ideal sleep time

from what I've read, it's 9 hours for most

a lot of people are fine not knowing what they're doing half the time so less than that works for them

Taisho

02:13

Hakase

just in case anyone missed, we have a script that turns starred images into… images in the star list and some other scripts here

arda

@Hakase 9 hours would destroy me as I only have 12 hours on home on schooldays

Hakase

oh right

at least 6.5 then

7 preferably

arda

That's what I try

Gao

@Darjeeling @ToshinouKyouko could you log in to AP's forum? It says requested user (me) not found. I wanted to submit new anime entries.

Darjeeling

Gao

@Darjeeling tried that, still couldn't gain access

@Darjeeling oh so the forum account is separate from the a-p account? i can't register now if i haven't already?

Darjeeling

apparently so, I can login the site just fine, but can't login to forum

I never use their forum tho

Gao

okay... thanks

there are like 3 anime i've watched that can't be found there

Tyhja

@arda have you tried imagebin.ca ?

arda

@Tyhja will try, seems to have an api imagebin.ca/tools.php

Darjeeling

02:32

@Gao you mean you can't find on forum or their main site

Gao

@Darjeeling can't find on main site

Darjeeling

@Gao title?

Tyhja

@arda that's why i linked it. not sure of the limits though

arda

I guess we'll see

Gao

@Darjeeling myanimelist.net/anime/7697/Sangokushi_Dainibu_Choukou_Moyu (plus prequel and sequel) and myanimelist.net/anime/1339/Cool_Devices

well they have the prequel on there anime-planet.com/anime/…

Tyhja

02:38

@Gao san guo zi xD

Gao

@Tyhja the 3 part movie is really good. i have physical copy

not historically accurate, and the visuals might feel a bit old, but the music is top-notch

childhood memories

Tyhja

@Gao three kingdoms by itself isn't entirely accurate in the first place.. so i dont bother about that lol

Darjeeling

@Gao the second one is a H rated, A-P don't have that kind

Gao

@Darjeeling if that were true, how do you explain this: anime-planet.com/anime/kite

or somewhere along the way they had a policy change that doesn't apply retroactively?

Tyhja

@Gao i think it lists anime with explicit sex / etc but not hentai specifically

Gao

02:47

@Tyhja that's a fine line and i can't distinguish the two

Darjeeling

@Gao don't know about this as I never watched it, but there's a clear line between explicit sex and hentai. So they have aki sora

Gao

ok they don't list boku no pico

Darjeeling

never see boku no pico

Hakase

I turn away for one second and you're talking about boku no pico

4

Tyhja

@Gao i think the line is the intention of the anime. hentai is mostly fap material (let's be honest) but I think Kite (for eg) has a plot and sex is not the main focus.

Gao

02:49

@Tyhja idk but mal counts it in the hentai category: myanimelist.net/anime/320/A_Kite

Tyhja

@Gao Yes because they dont list explicit sex seperately. AP is just not holding hentai. Kite can be watched without the sex being the focus. Boku no pico... is all sex

While I dont disagree its a very grey area. I'm just explaining how I observe them to be operating.

Gao

@Tyhja that makes sense. just remembered kite has a censored version

arda

@Tyhja not really. It has a plot!

Tyhja

At some point there is a blurring of lines, and i think AP is erring on the side of caution , while including as much as they feel is warranted
