@ton.yeung Gold version of curious. Requires 100 days with at least one upvoted, not closed, not deleted question
It also requires a positive "question score" but I think most people here meet that.
Apparently I'm the only Inquisitive user on meta so far. But some others are close so that will probably not last long.
 
6:28 PM
@ton.yeung Am now
Sup?
@ton.yeung Depends, what are you doing?
@ton.yeung Try Artax
Especially if you're in to OOP
 
6:56 PM
I got Curious on meta.SE and here. That's it. lol
And I'm waiting for the flood of terrible questions on SO from all the badgewhores when they discover the badge.
Sorta like what happened with the review badges.
 
7:08 PM
@Eric Same as you. Just noticed this
 
is something exploitable happening?

Q: What's your anime or manga question? Be specific

user6307I only saw the last part of this Anime. A few minutes. So, I cannot give many details. I think it was a movie and I think it was around the 2nd half of the 1990s. Because it was on a weekend program where they showed Anime movies and once "X (1999)" was one of them. What I remember from that sh...

 
7:24 PM
@Sakamoto cool title
 
7:55 PM
@Mysticial If you downvote/close them then it'll actually hurt their progress toward the badges
 
@LoganM Yep. And then the flood of question on meta asking why they haven't gotten the badge yet since can't see their XXX deleted questions. :)
I don't expect them to make it that far though.
They'll get banned before that.
 
Yeah hopefully most of them just get banned
But in reality most users who care about badges are somewhat higher on the rep scale
So maybe they aren't likely to get banned.
 
Ello peoples :3
 
@AsadaShino ohai
 
@Yuuki Hullo there ^^
 
8:06 PM
So, I'm out of things to do.
 
How's you doin? :)
Ah, okay :P
See you :P
 
I just refreshed the Batoto front page for the eighth time in two minutes.
 
Haha
Whatcha waiting for?
 
@AsadaShino Somebody to accept my job application(s).
 
Ohh, good luck! :)
 
8:08 PM
Ugh, everyone keeps raving about Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, but I am really not that interested.
I read the first few chapters and the MC just comes off as a really bland, OP, steamroll-over-everything-to-compensate-for-your-less-than-stellar-real-life kind of character.
 
Personally I like it, I do think the MC is a bit too perfect, which does get a bit boring
 
Yeah I don't like the Gary Sue protag either.
 
I'm in the "weeds" because I'm too good at kicking everyone else's ass to be put in the top courses.
 
Well, not perfect, but OP, since he seems to be emotionally limited
 
@AsadaShino That's honestly not a downside when it comes to main characters.
For side characters, maybe. Main characters? Not so much.
 
8:10 PM
Well, I would not mind if an MC had emotions
At least some
 
meh that's a pretty common trope. Make a perfect character, then give them some irrelevant weakness.
Anyway I like Miyuki so the series is okay, but I don't really like the MC.
 
It's not even a weakness, really, if anything it's more a strength, you can't make desperate decisions because of anger if you don't get angry
 
@LoganM "This guy is basically God but that's okay because he's slightly allergic to aloe vera on rainy Tuesdays."
 
Hahahaha
 
Pretty much
 
8:12 PM
"The aloe vera has to be ingested though. And it has to be done willingly, otherwise there's no effect."
 
@LoganM She does take the whole "onii-sama" thing a bit far, but I guess if your brother is THAT perfect, you can do nothing but look up to him and want to have him as your boyfriend, even if you are blood-relatives
 
@AsadaShino That's the other thing. I'm annoyed at how every harem-genre seems to require an imouto character.
 
@AsadaShino I don't care brocons are cool in my book.
 
It's like playing friggin' Pokemon, you gotta have one of every type.
 
Hahaha
 
8:13 PM
Y'know, maybe leave a couple out every now and then. It's not like it's going to kill if you don't have one archetype.
If you try to include everything, you just water down all the characters as a whole.
 
There's a good reason for it though. It used to be the childhood friend was the overused archetype until they realized that little sisters are even closer.
 
@LoganM Whoever "they" are, they're probably only children.
 
Meh, I enjoyed the action that was in the anime, so that helped me get through some of the more annoying parts :p
And while overpowered, his 'powers' were fun to hear explained
 
I recoil at imouto characters (kouhai is perfectly fine) because I actually have a little sister.
 
I also have a little sister but it doesn't really bother me.
 
8:16 PM
Who, if Steve is to be believed, actually is a brocon.
 
No Game No Life is the same, also overpowered and a bro-sis combo, though that didn't bother me nearly as much
 
@LoganM Is your little sister a brocon?
 
Hahaha
 
@Yuuki No idea. She's 7 years old
 
She probably thinks boys are icky and have cooties >_>
 
8:17 PM
Probably
 
I don't have cooties!
 
@ton.yeung All but one.
 
I swear~!
 
One is 0 (+1/-1), the rest are all >0.
 
@ton.yeung No, it counts each question individually. One question with 0 net votes should not count at all AFAICT
The only reason I can see is if you have a lot of deleted posts.
 
8:19 PM
@AsadaShino circle circle dot dot now you have a cootie shot
 
@ton.yeung Don't see how it could. Even if this counted, there's 12 questions, which means at least 6 had to be consecutive positive.
 
Either that or it's a bug.
 
Probably a bug. I have deleted answers, but no questions.
 
There's apparently a weird bug on SO with that badge so that's probably it
 
Just SO? lol
 
8:20 PM
My little sis was everything BUT a brocon, lol xD Pretty much the opposite, not as bad as oreimo's Kirino, but still pretty annoyingly unreasonable :P She's cool now though, even little sisters tend to grow up when they reach 18 years old...
@Krazer Nuuuu T___T

Q: Notification that I have earned Curious badge, but not earned in reality

Ionicã BizãuThis happened only on StackOverflow site: The badge was not added to my badges. Why?

Basically, wait a while and if it doesn't show up then do an individualized bug report
 
@ton.yeung I tried reading a LN translation once (I think it was Baka Test?) and I just couldn't handle it.
The bad grammar, the terrible formatting...
 
@ton.yeung Okay, I'll probably not read em, but it's good to know his lack of weaknesses has an explanation xD
 
@ton.yeung I read something to that effect in the comments, but emotional stunting just doesn't come off as a good enough "balance" to the OP-I-can-kill-all-the-things-because-ha-ha.
I mean if that happened real life, that would be terrible.
 
Dayum O_o
 
8:25 PM
But as a fiction, it just doesn't seem to be very much of a "con".
@ton.yeung It's like friggin' every MC becomes a living WMD these days.
Why can't a homey just be a living WMiD (Weapon of Minor Destruction)?
 
Hahaha
 
I just don't care for it because it reminds me too much of every bad fanfic I've ever read.
 
@LoganM Eh, at least they haven't revealed ass babies yet.
 
O_o
Just saw an ad for a cosplay club ._.
 
@AsadaShino Yes, I read one of those once on a dare. NEVER AGAIN.
 
8:28 PM
Sorry, that face was not as a reaction to a message above, lemme read up
Ass babies
Wat
 
@AsadaShino Basically guys having gay sex and, because writers can't biology, getting pregnant.
And for some reason, your large intestine functions perfectly well as a substitute ovary/womb.
I don't get what the hell's so bad about adoption that people go with ass babies.
I mean, it's not like fiction (or real life, sadly) is short on orphans.
 
Aww :P
@Yuuki I don't even
@ton.yeung I was thinking that too, yes hahaha xD
 
Sometimes it's just that the writer was deliberately trying to make the story as bad as possible.
 
That movie, hahaha
 
Fanfics are basically a descending spiral of self-parody where to get any attention you have to write something which is even worse than everything else available.
 
8:34 PM
Bahaha
 
@LoganM Two words: My Immortal.
 
@Eric The sad thing is, I've read it, and I've read ones which I think are just as bad if not worse.
 
@LoganM I've read it. Completely, start to end. But I've heard there's only one worse, the name of which I've forgotten.
 
There are plenty which are worse in specific ways.
e.g. Pokemon fanfics which are unbelievably gory and disgusting.
There aren't a lot which are as bad in the same way as My Immortal, but I've definitely read some.
They just don't get famous because nowadays ppl have realized that everyone who writes them is trolling.
And so mods on most fanfic sites just remove them
 
:(
 
8:40 PM
Here's one which I found to be quite bad in a funny way. There are some really amazing dramatic readings of it on YT. xdallyx.webs.com
 
Characters that I have an unreasonable dislike for: That new guy on Isshuukan Friends.
I find the love triangle to be an extremely played out and absolutely boring trope in romance manga these days. It drives me up the wall when it looks like they're about play that card.
 
Except they didn't really make much of a love triangle
but w/e
 
@LoganM I'm pretty sure they aren't. He's probably going to be for revealing Fujimiya's backstory.
But I was just speaking for romance manga as a whole.
 
Have you finished the anime yet?
 
Anyways, that's why I'm currently liking Hajiotsu and Itoshi no Karin.
@LoganM Just two more episodes.
Yumekuri's also nice but it's not really a romance manga. I like it because while it has all the makings of a harem manga, it distinctly doesn't go in that route and (for now) has absolutely shut down all possibilities of that happening.
It also has fanservice without coming across as perverted, which is also a nice plus.

Q: Does anyone know this manga?

manga loverI only remember a few page of the first chapter There was a girl carrying her stuff and wanted to get into her crush room by the window,she said she couldn't return to her home for some reason (or so) But he said he couldn't because he already has 3 girl staying in his room (for some weird reason...

 
Okay, starting Episode 11.
YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH THAT DIARY, YOU POSSIBLE ASSHOLE!
 
9:23 PM
NO! NO! DON'T DO THAT, YOU STUPID, STUPID MAIN CHARACTER!
Now starting Episode 12.
 
Yep, MC is a big stupid idiot-face.
Though he's somehow still remotely likable.
 
@LoganM Because whatever mistakes he does make, he's never malicious.
And despite how jealous/possessive he can come across at times, he never actually acts on it.
 
That's true. But there are other MCs that I hate despite being similar
 
So, he's a Nice Guy™ without being one in an unnatural manner.
It's understandable that he gets jealous in the situations where it pops up, so he's relatable as a character.
@LoganM Most of the Nice Guys™ I dislike come across that way because they are just so well-meaning and "pure" that they actually come across as pod people.
This guy actually feels human.
Also Saki and Kiryu are hilariously cute.
 
9:42 PM
Did... did he just eat the crepe wrapper too?
 
Yeah I think he did IIRC
 
@Yuuki pod people? are they like crab people?
 
@user1306322 Basically, it's another word for the uncanny valley.
Something that looks like a human, but is distinctly not.
For reasons that either can or can't be explained, pod people just feel wrong.
 
do nice guys really looks so fake?
 
@user1306322 The way some of them are depicted in manga, yes.
 
9:47 PM
like if you met an actual cute loli in real life?
jelly >.>
it sure doesn't seem natural for a real person to behave exactly like a fictional one
but there are ways around that don't make them look fake or suspicious
 
PICK HER UP AND HUG HER, YOU FOOL! OR KISS HER, THAT WORKS TOO!
... or you could grab your head with both hands and scream unintelligibly to the sky.
 
Mushishi second season is even better than the first
Good Guy Ginko
 
@ton.yeung Yup.
@ton.yeung That's awkward advice I would probably never give to anyone in real life.
Aaaaaaand diabetes e'erywhere.
Now back to my long wait for a Horimiya anime.
So I watched the last episode of Date a Live on a whim.
And I'm reminded that depictions of kissing in anime always look so weird.
 
10:17 PM
Soul Eater Not last episode is out
 
11:05 PM
@Sakamoto Weirdly I think I know this manga
Will check when I get home
 
11:38 PM
Ugh, this anime seems really familiar. But I checked the manga and I'm not getting any deja vu hits.
 
@ton.yeung /me uses linux
what malware you are talking about?
