the games are out

@ton.yeung i pin stupid things all the time dont worry :D

@ton.yeung you know it!

but sadly...yes

I got to HW last night

hahah, sometimes that's fun to, ....sometimes.

and what does 'putting in one hour a day' on getting a dog consist of?

ahhh it all makes sense now. lol

I was so confused.

you were some how, ...idk doing something, possibly research 1 hour a day, about the dog you were going to get/adopt..

hey, don't look at me like that

hi shaggy

that's nice, other than playing lots of FF I've started to try and brush up on my math skills as well as look into some computer science theory and some older stuff about assembly.

indeed it is, I used to know a breeder of blue pit bulls that went for around the same... that guy needed a website.

Idk, I feel like I need to take the uni-aproach(something I totally made up in my mind that not even similar to a college education)

Im in TX, but no, I don't want any pets. theyre cute, but not for me.

Epic sadface.

dam that sucks

~hope i don't get flagged for saying dam :P

@shaggy transfer to gil gil already

@shaggy I really hope not.

aw

If you do I have some serious concerns.

@Eric so there's a chance we can restart it?

@Frosteeze Any proposal can be restarted, but perhaps we need to think of a better way to go about it before just restarting it.

but yeah I'm about to start coding, for me I just prefer to be thorough and have a little background before I start, I don't want to get into more complicated ideas and not understand them because I didn't learn the theory behind it all from the get go. But mostly it's just to make me feel slightly more confident in a world I know nothing about.

Honestly I think all non-language Japan proposals could be in one.

Culture, Daily Life, etc.

wasn't that part of the proposed J culture SE?

could these be asked in travel SE ?

@shaggy i have a good example of not knowing what i am coding

@Frosteeze Not really, we wanted cultural only.

@ToshinouKyouko No.

rn i am coding for the NES

Many of them are not travel-related.

@ToshinouKyouko really? thats cool, a game?

let me show u

1 sec

@ToshinouKyouko wait are you really coding for the NES for work?

@Frosteeze not for work

like

@Eric i wouldve thought daily life is part of culture lol

this evening

Frost is coding for Apple

LOL

@Frosteeze No, we put culture more as things like traditions, rituals, formalities, etc.

this is my progress so far

@ToshinouKyouko I CAN DO THAT TOO.

expert coder

FENNERURN RNUIRNU NRURNURNQ#UIRN#*R#R O#JRO#JIOR #IOR J#IRU#R

I am best coder

u dont even use IE

u cant be coder

What, yes I do. I mean, I have to for most internal sites. :\

I use Chrome for personal stuff, IE for work. lol

ew lol

We still use old software from like 8-10 years ago that's been updated but never "fixed" to work with modern browsers.

@ton.yeung also as you are doing, It seems potentially that i should learn some web dev skills for sure, and Im kinda interested in javascript. Is everything really CSS heavy these days, it seemed to be going that way when I last coded some 10 years ago. Either way i think i should start there as well, before or at the same time as i work into higher level languages/scripting.

at work tho, I code vision algorithms for our own processor

haven't done any assembly yet, but probably at some stage

I love assembly.

x86 and ARM, that is.

@shaggy even more so with the web

MIPS is stupid.

You don't love assembly. You love talk to Rev about assembly

I like assembly in small doses

hides

for optimizing

lol

@Frosteeze Rev sucks.

@ton.yeung that's the one im reading right now

well Pro ASP.NET MVC 5 is the one im reading

well i have a doctors appointment I need to be off to, all catch you all later, sorry iv'e been grossly infatuated with a video game here recently..... musssst gettt backk too realllll lifffe

Man, I can't read about coding. I just can't.

I don't know if I have ADHD or what...

But I learn by breaking stuff. lol

@Eric what'd you break to learn asp.net? ._.

@ton.yeung awesome, I've been building up a 'library' of books im gong to bulk purchase of amazon, and just ingorge myself one day with information, and referance material.

@Frosteeze Websites.

gtg. take care all

Seriously, you just punch code in repeatedly until it works. Breaking stuff is how you learn what not to do. lol

@shaggy bye and transfer to gil plz

i am lonely in FFXIV

@ton.yeung Well, it's gotten me 12 years.

If you want to use clientside stuff i'd just make some static webpages

to get some practise

anyway, i dont like coding conversations so thats all im gonna suggest

@ton.yeung I watched the whole thing. The ending, well, you probably can guess.

I think the whole thing can be done in a movie, like 5cm/s

A whole series is a waste of time

Too bad, Japanese anime tends to send the message without giving a satisfying ending

So, you guys wanna know something?

Yes

Always :P

The first Anime & Manga SE moderator elections have been scheduled to start on August 10th!

WOO \o/

A&M.SE is moving up in the world!

:o

eeeee~

~_~

The girl on the left - my reaction

y u no excited for site growth?

I wouldn't count id-req as site growth

Throw that number away from the stat, and we are talking

@Taisho Howl's moving castle

There are around 100 active users, I guess. Dunno how that works for the election

@JNat I should totally put myself in the running.

As soon as I figure how to do so without making an account.

uh

:P

(it's a joke)

I got that much :P

@nhahtdh The site has grown aside from id-reqs

we need more stats

MORE MORE MORE

Higher numbers = better amirite?

@ToshinouKyouko Stats regarding what?

@JNat everything

delicious

things are bigger than other things :)

More stats! More charts! More, higher numbers!

We need more!

reportedly, 67.34% of Taisho's photos are starred

:D

If it still has an account, it would have Outspoken badge

@Eric dont forget more meetings

@Frosteeze ... Oh god more meetings.

Meetings? As in chat-casts?

As in sitting around a table gobbling like turkeys.

Hakase hasn't been here since yesterday

@JNat Woo! I am excited ^_^

What are the nomination criteria?

@nhahtdh Yeah, he's still in hiding :/

lol

@Matt Nominate yourself or someone else (who must then accept the nomination) IIRC.

I don't think there's any requirements. On SO there are, but I don't think sites' first elections have any.

Ah right, shiggy

Noice

@Eric for A&M SE 2015

he will put a metaphorical border wall to keep id-reqs out

From what I observe, being mod is more restrictive than regular trusted user in some aspects

As a mod I promise to make anime real

Which one?

all of them

Because I'd prefer End of Evangelion did not really happen.

@ToshinouKyouko Whut?

@ton.yeung rather than adapt 2d to 3d, we must become 2d

@ToshinouKyouko idk if i want a world where Beserk is real

or Psychic Wars or Mars of Destruction

:P

Well, I guess if you guys don't like lolis THAT much then...

I'm into loli stuffs lately, thanks to Mujaki no Rakuen

@ton.yeung I might do, I have until the 10th to think on it

Would anyone vote for me?

<3

As a mod I will ban hats and Glasslip

@Eric Most likely it will require 300 rep, but that's it normally

Oh god glasslip why

@Matt I'll vote for you. Ban all the hats.

@Matt I will vote for you if you can stop Glasslip from ever being created

is it voting for all the moderators or just new ones?

Just new ones. Our three diamond heroes will remain.

Really? Usually the pro tem mods are removed when a site graduates

Is this a graduation election? I can't tell with the new graduation system.

I'm not sure if it's exactly a graduation election, but it's the same principle in any case

In the case of previous beta sites that have had elections (Code Review, Blender, Cryptography, maybe others) the pro tempore mods didn't keep their positions.

we can re-elect them if we want i suppose

Only if they decide to run

true

What's the process to this then? Is there like a mod olympics with challenges of physical ability and endurance to test who can lead the community through testing times?

who can lift the heaviest body pillow

there's usually a post where you give a little bit about urself and why you want to be a mod etc

the electoral candidates will have to make a platform after nominations and ppl will vote based on that platform

then they will need to raise campaign funds to send out TV ads and posters, make a catchy slogan, and attempt to gather donations from third party NGOs and corporations

they will then have to compete in the primary elections when they go against other candidates of their own party

Sounds cool

Do you need to be all serious in your "why I want to be a mod" thing, or can you mostly fill it with jokes?

I don't like being too serious

Matt... your jokes though....

@Matt yeah you do have to be serious

@ToshinouKyouko Come on, don't tell me you don't love them

Elected by dads

Is anyone here a dad?

lol

Maybe in the future

@ToshinouKyouko cant make kids with body pillows

@ToshinouKyouko "A vote for Matt is a vote for the future"

@Frosteeze :'( but they would be 2.5D

no im sorry, it's just not possible @tosh

@Frosteeze Vote for Matt, and it will be possible

@Matt but @tosh promised to make anime real

Quantum promise

Schrodinger's promise

Danchigai episode 3 has some nice animation of the sister sleeping - it animates slight movement, like some recent eroge

FYI if you do intend to run, there's still over 2 weeks to increase your candidate score

@LoganM what's it out of again?

Rep and badges

max is 40, though the highest anyone actually has right now is 33 and the highest theoretically possible this time is 39

I see

Krazer has the highest score, then Jon Lin

I am tied with Jon Lin

High scores are mostly contributed by rep

@LoganM Right. I am just about to say so

Here's a list of everyone with over 10k rep: data.stackexchange.com/anime/query/298418/…

It is mostly ordered by rep, but not entirely

My score is 22

That's actually really good considering your rep

ugh i submitted a dumb flag

JNat also has a lot of badges, which is even more impressive considering he only has 8 helpful flags (for obvious reasons). But naturally he won't be running anyway.

i wish you could undo them

You can submit a second flag saying the first one was wrong

but if that's obvious then it's a waste of time

nah its a good idea

out of context it looks valid

I didn't use the review queue, so I don't have badge there

Browsing the main page is enough

@nhahtdh if you want to make this comment an answer I'll accept it anime.stackexchange.com/questions/23159/…

@nhahtdh I think you're the only person relatively close to Marshal. I haven't found anyone else with over 300 helpful flags

I guess so, but 100 flags in 2 weeks is impossible

Yeah, I don't think it's feasible by the election

@ToshinouKyouko Thanks for reminding me. Will do later in the day

tbh I don't like artificially bloating stats for badges and stuff

I mean its fine if you're like a few things away from it or whatever

but it doesn't really provide that much value if it's already gone ignored for so long

anyway bedtime o/

@ToshinouKyouko Goodnight ^_^

@ToshinouKyouko noooo dont leave yet

was gonna ask if you got the VNs lol

@Frosteeze i'm still here 10seconds

yeah i got em

kk good night then :D

:)

quality games

cya

with a name like Cosplay Fetish Academy you cant be disappointed

night

I don't plan on running anyway, but if I was I don't think I could increase my score much. I could get 1-2 more points on rep if I really pushed for it, but none of the badges are very close.

i c u @shaggy

My score is only 6, I would not be a very good candidate :/

That's at least somewhat out of date, but data explorer won't update until Monday.

It's still gonna be pretty low :L
