ME: “Hi Linda. Here is the revised design. Sorry it took so long. There was quite a bit of custom drawing required, but I think it looks great. Worth the effort.”

CLIENT: “That looks awesome. Now if we can change the font to Papyrus, we can wrap this one up.”

Eric

12:23 AM

@LoganM Needs moar Papyrus.

Logan M

@Eric Do you follow papyruswatch.com?

Eric

@LoganM I do now. lol

Logan M

The worst one I've seen is this:

Eric

This one is my favorite so far.

I mean, the irony is just fantastic.

WTF.

A whole letter written in Papyrus.

Logan M

12:55 AM

That is really bad.

Eric

The letter content itself is worse. I'm regretting reading it.

Logan M

Read enough to check it was Papyrus. After that I was like "nope" and didn't read it.

Eric

Yeah, I suddenly got curious after examining the Papyrus.

A: How do I create multiple worlds?

penispenis penis penis penis penis penis

Arqade gets really random spam

though we did get something similar today so I guess it's not that random

Eric

@LoganM I really don't get why people post this. Why can't they spend their time watching anime instead of being trolls?

Logan M

1:12 AM

@Eric What I don't get is why they choose to troll sites like this where it's unlikely anyone will ever see it.

Eric

Indeed.

Though, it's hard to balance the "people will see it" against "moderators will see it".

Logan M

meh. If that's really what they want to do with their lives, I should probably be pitying them rather than laughing at them or getting annoyed at them.

Unrelated, but is it just me or are SE avatars way too small for most good pictures? I tried one today, and it only looked decent at the 64x64 and larger sizes.

Eric

Yeah. Anything below 64x64 gets really hard to see.

There used to be one (I don't remember whose) that I only liked small. Enlarged, it was weird.

Logan M

32x32 is really only enough for a closeup of someone's face, and 16x16 always looks like a random colorful blob no matter what it is. Even the 128x128 doesn't always look good when it's a full-body shot.

Eric

Yeah. That's why I haven't changed mine.

I was going to use a nice shot of like, 3 characters from RKB. But it just looks like crap at anything smaller than 128.

Logan M

1:25 AM

For reference the pic I was going to use is this.

I had to cut Miki out of a much bigger picture, and then I was lazy so i just autoblurred all the edges in Gimp, so the full size isn't that great. That mostly disappears when it gets rescaled to anything smaller than 500x500 anyway, so I figured it wasn't a problem, but it's just unrecognizable on the smallest sizes.

I've used avatars that are way bigger than that on other sites. SE's tiny avatars are really annoying in that respect because I can't use the same ones I use anywhere else.

Eric

Indeed. I want a 200x200 avatar.

Mysticial

4:43 AM

@Eric Not so much the rep. But rather having my flair removed and making it vulnerable to bad edits.

In this case, it was just the question that got wikied. None of the answers were wikied. But the question shouldn't be wiki in the first place.

Eric

I'll take the rep, then! :D

Mysticial

And the tag scores as well. I already pinged the OP about it, but if nobody puts the C++ tag back on the question in the next few days, I'll do it myself by rolling it all the way back to revision 8.

Waaaay too many useless edits on that question.

Eric

Well, the edit was right, though. It doesn't make sense to be language agnostic and C++.

Mysticial

@Eric But the primary example is C++. So if you can't have both, it should be C++.

That suggested edit was controversial anyway.

Java would also be on it if there wasn't a 5 tag limit.

Eric

Maybe add C++ back and replace language agnostic with Java.

Mysticial

4:50 AM

That was close to how it originally was. Both C++ and Java. I don't mind whether it's Java or Language Agnostic. But the C++ needs to stay.

But in any case, the question should be immune to edit-induced wiki now. So as long as there's no edit war that ends in getting the question locked, we're all happy.

Eric

5:14 AM

Yup. Btw, nice new avatar @Mysticial :D

And I'm off, g'night!~

Mysticial

@Eric lol, thx

@Eric night

a bit early?

Eric

@Mysticial A bit, but not really. I've been adjusting to coming back to Canada, and I need way more sleep here. I suspect because of the altitude. Where I could survive on 7-8 in Redmond, I need around 9 here to stay awake during the day.

Mysticial

Q: Is that possible to make anime of missed girls?

In The World God Only Know Season 3 ( Goddess Arc ) , they skipped a lot of girls's arc and rush to goddess arc itself ( For example they didn't show specificially about Tsukiyo and other but instead only give small screen time. ) so my point is " Is that possible to make series or OVA of those...

the-world-god-only-knows

Eric

@Sakamoto I have no idea what this question is asking.

JNat

@Eric Yeah, I looked at it, and I have no idea what he means

I think he means to ask if it is possible that a series/OVA about the skipped girls is gonna be made

Eric

@JNat Yeah, I think you're right. That being the case, I'm VTCing.

Logan M

It makes perfect sense to someone who knows TWGOK, but it's off topic for the reason I listed.

Eric

The close reason Logan just used should be one of our default off-topic close reasons.

@JNat @Krazer can we make that ^ happen?

JNat

6:05 PM

1

A: What should be our custom off-topic close reasons?

Questions on future events with regard to the production of an anime or manga are off-topic, as such details are only known to the creators of said works and should be checked on anime news sources. See: What do we do with questions about future events/releases? For questions on future relea...

Eric

Ah, okay.

JNat

We'll add it if this type of questions are asked more frequently

So far it does not appear to be necessary. Only three or four so far, I think

Logan M

I thought the OT reason should be added in the "put on hold as off-topic" bar when it gets closed that way. Does it just stay as a comment?

Eric

Looks that way, yeah. Seems silly to me.

Logan M

I think it's supposed to do that, but maybe not for custom reasons.

For example, this:

Eric

6:10 PM

It might only do it for ones that are custom, but not added per-question.

Logan M

@Eric That's what custom means

Eric

I'd argue that a per-question reason is also custom.

Logan M

If we go by SE's terminology:
-Default OT reasons are those that appear in the dropdown menu. These can be added (requires 2 moderators, and there's a maximum number of available reasons)
-Custom OT reasons are those that individual users type in when they VTC as OT but none of the default reasons work, and they choose to type their own reason.

Krazer

In this case, I think it feels more NC than OT

Eric

Then, what I said above using those terms: "It might only do it for ones that are default, but not custom."

@Krazer Why?

Logan M

6:14 PM

@Krazer NC is not a close reason anymore.

Krazer

@LoganM primarily opinion-based then

Logan M

@Krazer It's definitely not opinion-based.

Krazer

@LoganM why not? without inside industry knowledge facts, we can only speculate

Logan M

@Krazer That's like saying that asking about algebraic geometry here, when no one here knows algebraic geometry, is opinion-based because we can only guess. It's not. It's off-topic.

Krazer

@LoganM but I feel that it is at least on topic as it concerns anime production of TWOGK

Logan M

6:20 PM

@Krazer No, that's exactly why there are editable off-topic reasons, because we aren't about everything anime/manga related, but only a subset therein.

Krazer

okay

what an odd series crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2013/08/09-1/…

JNat

@LoganM It needs to be added the the custom (as in customized for the site, not for the question) off-topic reasons, like the "questions about making anime...." reason is in our custom off-topic reasons

@LoganM Which according to these definitions, yeah, would be considered Default OT

Q: Is the "wakakusa" ad a references to something?

In episode 4, there is an ad for "強力わかくさ" or "strong green/fresh grass." Is this a reference/parody to something (out-of series reference), like the "Dogs Playing Pool" in the background of episode 3 at the pool hall? If so, to what?

Q: In real world , can it decrypt password from several computers?

holy bloody crap: dailymotion.com/video/… (Watamote in the shingeki no kyojin OP)

Logan M

I proposed something with respect to culture questions here that culture questions which make sense after you delete all references to anime/manga are off topic (e.g. this question). Should we apply the same logic here for technology questions?

Hiroto

@LoganM i'm answering it anyway, because I know the answer

Logan M

@Hiroto Okay go ahead.

he's talking about parallel processing over a network, akin to folding@home or a botnet

When I saw it at first, I only saw the title and technology (which probably shouldn't even be a tag here). I really thought it was spam.

Hiroto

should I direct him towards itsec.se? :p

@Hiroto For now if you know the answer then answer it. Also, if you understand what he's asking (I don't, but I don't know anything about technology) then you should suggest an edit to make it clearer.

@LoganM done

I'd have this migrated to itsecurity.SE, but it's very likely a duplicate and/or off-topic (the site is for professionals, who already know their way around backtrack or the likes)

Hiroto

7:56 PM

Also, @LoganM, has there been a consensus on content links yet? practically every source for manga in most countries that aren't the US these days is piracy, because it's literally impossible to get it otherwise, but I don't think you should actually bring that point up (or endorse it) on the site.

Lemme link you a rant on facebook I had about this...

Logan M

@Hiroto No more discussion since then. IMO we aren't getting anywhere, and I've gotten bored of discussing this. At this point I think the best option is to let the mods reach a consensus (it's hard enough with only 3 people, but with everyone in the chatroom it's impossible to even tell whether we're all agreeing or not) and then just go with whatever they decide.

Hiroto

I had several hundred pounds to burn then, and went nuts on games and music, only to have my order cancelled due to "not being japanese"

It's like your average retailer doesn't even grasp the concept of currency conversion. "you aren't japanese, you couldn't possibly have yen. I only want yen"

Anyways, back to ~~pictures of cats~~ serious mod business

Logan M

Yeah it is a pain to get anything legally. I agree that piracy is basically necessary to be anything more than a casual anime fan, but I don't think it would look good for us if we opened the doors completely to it. For example, questions like "which fansub group should I download for X?" would probably reflect poorly on our community.

Hiroto

I'd be biased as all hell. I've worked for UTW, Doki (as a leader), SHiN-gx, Shini-subs, Whine-subs, Commie and a bunch of others.

That would indeed be a terrible thing

Logan M

I guess that one would be "primarily opinion based" but I could imagine lots of questions about fansubbing that could be factually answered but wouldn't look good for us.

Hiroto

8:09 PM

They're shopping questions, really

there are review sites for that, really

but none of them are bias-free (just like any other review site)

The only reason I lost interest in fansubbing shows was because after I released the last episode of anohana for Doki, and we got tens of thousands of downloads in a few hours, we had people nitpicking like crazy and it basically drove the translator (who majored in japanese and is trilingual) nuts.

I went "yeah... no. no more speedsubbing."

tl;dr: people will tear into a sub group for any little thing if they are biased against them, and ignore every issue if they are biased towards

just go on 4chan's /a/ board and say "which is better, hadena or commie", and watch the banhammer swing down on you as people tear each other's throats out

Logan M

I've had similar experiences when I've worked on fansubbing stuff. Now the only things I work on are obscure things (like VNs) where the fanbase is usually smaller and somewhat more knowledgeable, and it's rare for multiple translations to exist at all.

Hiroto

I'm making my own VN right now

When it's not immediately obvious what your site is about (And it isn't), consider adding a single concise paragraph what it's about, and what you do.

Right now, I see a nice site, with a pretty logo and a nice pic, but I don't get what the site is about on the first look (which is more than 95% of the views you'll get, that "first look").

Hiroto

Hehe. We know that, and we haven't updated the site in months. We dont want to hype it up until we have a demo ready
