12:17 AM
@AyanoSugiura just make another
 
 
1 hour later…
1:39 AM
Time to unbox the laptop. Let's see if I get an unusual.
Box within a box within a box.
 
1:54 AM
 
@Mysticial smexy
 
that wolf cub
 
wow, there's a lot of shitware on the laptop.
 
2:31 AM
The thing is actually a bit bigger than I thought it was. That thing under the laptop is my existing 17 in. laptop.
 
2:44 AM
@JNat I don't have any idea about the subject matter, since I don't watch/read the series. The most I can fix is guessing the meaning and fix the grammar
 
3:02 AM
I just booted into the Win10 install disk. But I forgot to save the product key of the existing installation. lol
I don't see it written anywhere on the laptop or the box or documents.
Good thing I didn't wipe it yet.
oh
I haven't even activated it yet.
The existing OS is not going to touch the internet.
It says "Connect to the internet to activate."
Whatever... I don't care.
But I do want to record the key though.
I'm still wiping it.
But I'm gonna try activating the reinstallation with the current key.
 
The keyboard rainbow lights are software controlled right?
So once I reinstall the thing, it'll be one of the things on the driver disc that came with the laptop right?
I browsed it, it has drivers in it.
lol
Is that the same SCM as the BIOS UEFI SCM?
I'm turning that off since I'm gonna be dual-booting with Ubuntu.
Doesn't matter, I'll have plenty of time to find out.
 
3:44 AM
@ton.yeung I didn't even need to enter the key. It picked it up automatically. Even without internet.
I didn't even need to activate the original OS.
IOW, in the order that they're listed in the driver CD.

Q: What is the meaning behind the colors in the episode titles of Kyoukai no Kanata?

Jorge LuqueThe episode titles in Kyoukai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary) are names after a color each. For example "Carmine", "Ultramarine", and "Moonlit Purple". Does anyone know what is the meaning of this?

Q: Why Hiruzen Sarutobi become the third Hokage again?

JTRHiruzen sarutobi is the third Hokage, while Minato is the fourth Hokage. After the death of Minato, Hiruzen become Hokage again and he still called the third. But why still the third? why in that time Hiruzen didn't called the fifth? And why they not to choose new candidate as new Hokage? I'm ...

 
10:07 AM
@Tyhja :(
 
10:31 AM
@AyanoSugiura >:D
 
10:58 AM
@ton.yeung Localization takes years to catch up with whatever already released in Japan
I'm not surprised if the publisher deliberately delay the release to squeeze as much sales as possible
Since every time a new book is published, new people who haven't read the series might buy it
It could also be used to gauge the market, and probably drop the series in case the sales is worse than expected
 
localization seems to take a silly amount of time though
if streams can be simulcasts
oh for books
 
@AyanoSugiura It's rather fast for recent series
It takes around 1 year for dub version to appear
For books, it can take 4-5 years just to catch up to the latest volume of a long series
By then, except for dedicated fans, everyone would have forgotten about the series and move on to the latest hot series in Japan
 
that's the biggest problem with english anime sales I think
they're lagging too far behind
 
Is 1 year too far behind?
 
I think so

definetly when there are simulcasts
 
Most shows are simulcast nowadays
I think it would be interesting to make a list of anime by season + date of dub release
 
yep, and I think people are going to prefer them to physical releases that are slower once everyone catches up with internet speeds and etc
 
Ah, I don't know about physical release
I guess those take time
 
oh I thought we were talking about them
i dunno
I think simulcasts have reclaimed a lot of pirates
and similar moves to faster releases will continue to do so
or providing great value in alternate ways
 
11:33 AM
@Tyhja I think I was asleep at this point, I was a very drunk man last night :L
 
11:55 AM
I'm back
 
welcome back @HakashinouShinonouko
 
12:42 PM
@MattshinouMyouko use the liver matt ~_~
 
@Tyhja Do not worry, I have recovered
I'll liver a little longer if you catch my drift
 
@MattshinouMyouko well I'll not get carried away
 
give it back o3o
 
nowai~
>:D
 
bell com whack!
 
 
3 hours later…
3:57 PM
@Taisho what
 
@ton.yeung o really
it's just me
their center is all the way in the middle of the country though
a few brits
everyone lumps in the irish :(
 
@ton.yeung archipelago A group of islands.
 
it's rare to see it called that
In standard English usage, the toponym "the British Isles" refers to a European archipelago consisting of Great Britain, Ireland and adjacent islands. However, the word "British" is also an adjective and demonym referring to the United Kingdom. For this reason, the name British Isles is avoided in Irish English as such usage could be construed to imply continued territorial claims or political overlordship of the Republic of Ireland by the United Kingdom. Proposed alternatives to renaming the British Isles to something more neutral include "Britain and Ireland", "Atlantic Archipelago", "Anglo-Celtic...
 
@ton.yeung The thing that turns on the keyboard lights is really bloated.
Interestingly, if I kill the process after it starts, the keyboard stays lighted.
 
4:04 PM
no we are seperate countries
 
I wonder if there's a way to turn it on without the process.
 
oh ok
 
@ton.yeung It really slows down the boot up.
@ton.yeung Not yet, I'm doing that tonight.
@ton.yeung But then it delays the colors. :)
I did that a lot yesterday since I'm still installing stuff.
A lot of fighting with the OS.
Windows Defender thinks that the Intel hardware emulator is a trojan.
@ton.yeung I haven't gotten to that yet.
But I might not turn it off since I don't plan to install an AV on it.
 
I didn't find an in OS-tool to tweak the CPU OC settings. But I did find the one for the GPU.
The OC settings in the BIOS are very clunky.
So far, I only bumped the base block enough so that it shows 100 instead of some stupid 99.6-whatever.
@ton.yeung I installed the one which seemed relevant. But it wasn't it.
Though I'm probably not gonna mess with the turbo multipliers until everything else is settled down.
The CPU barely touches 70C when I put it under my load. And the clock levels off at 3.2 GHz.
The max turbo of 3.6 is actually quite common on single-threaded loads. Unlike my old laptop.
I want to lock the turbo down. So that the processor stays at the same clock under any load regardless of how many cores.
I need it for benchmarking.
Obviously the default setting is more efficient for normal workloads.
I don't think it will be a good idea to lock all 4 cores to 3.6 GHz. But something 3.3 or 3.4 might be doable without causing any problems.
I do want it to clock down when it's idle. But I don't want the whole 4 cores @ 3.2, 2 cores @ 3.4, 1 core @ 3.6 thing. I want all cores @ 3.?.
Otherwise, it fucks up benchmarks.
The only way to do that without an OCable processor is to disable the turbo completely. Which would mean all cores @ 2.7 GHz.
That's dumb.
Why's the 6700HQ same price as the 6820HK when it's inferior in every aspect?
 
4:35 PM
@Mysticial I hear the HQ has lower power consumption during partial loads
 
4:52 PM
oh
 
@Mysticial You were mentioned in the JS room a few minutes ago
Shog lamented on how much he wanted you for mod.

Q: Where did this meme originate from?

DarkDestryI have been seeing this meme all over the internet. Guessing from most of the Q&As I have found, this seem to be edited in. If so, what was the original verse and why did it get twisted in this way?

 
@MadaraUchiha to be clear, I completely understand and agree with his reasoning. But in a different time... An epic battle between Madara and Mysticial.
 
@Shog9 I am amazed by your ping sensing abilities.
@Shog9 Well, there are 3 open spots.
Why can't we all get along? ;)
 
@Shog9 I don't mind having powers and all. But that isn't really the point of being mod. I work 11 hour days and I rest whenever I can. So I don't really have much left to be mod.
 
5:41 PM
Mod Café
welcome back
 
@Mysticial Ya, i've been there. Someday...

Q: Let's help id-request users help themselves with a floating checklist guide for request details!

ʞɹɐzǝɹA certain Hakase-type Tomato had a good idea of a floating checklist for identification request questions. I believe that this is a good idea, as many of the new users who use this site for id-requests seem to struggle with details to give. I'd like to open suggestions to the community for a che...

does anyone have any opinions, like yes or no?
it just got silent fast there, more input would be nice
 
5:59 PM
@HakashinouShinonouko I think we should consider using simpler language in outlining our site general policies. A log of our users are probably not from English speaking countries or are of younger age groups so their level of reading might not be on par with other SEs
 
right
I was very focused on doing everything from scratch but simplifying the existing texts should be the first move
 
given that out site is essentially about Japanese comic and cartoons, we need to closer assess what who our target audience is and make any changes to accomidate them
 
so can I help?
 
@Eric's 2 answers to the post is a step in the right direction
 
should we make a review meta post for all existing texts that are visible to the users
 
6:02 PM
 
@HakashinouShinonouko we should look out our current policies and see what parts might be confusing to ESL users and youngers folks in general
then we should take some time to consider what the minimum reading level should be
having this as a base will give us a better idea of how we can, in general, QC the content that comes in
 
potassium
15th is coming up soon
gotta think of a new avatar theme
 
@HakashinouShinonouko ditch id-requests :P
best input possible
 
@ton.yeung DMV texts in the US have a 9th grade reading lvl as a standard afair
 
(at this moment I experienced a short panic attack out of fear for new "you can't just ban IDs" talk)
 
6:14 PM
@HakashinouShinonouko Oh, I didn't mean to spark that. Hopefully it won't
 
@JNat too late this can of worms has been opened~
now we have to go fishing~
 
did you know there's a live action PARASAITO movie?
and in two parts
I just wanna see how they made Migi look
seems like it
imdb.com/title/tt3853452/?ref_=tt_rec_tti Assassination Classroom live action

6.3 for part 2
7.1 for part 1
on the lower range of "watchable"
imma check it all out now
those are news articles only

sort by last column
hehe
is there enough source material yet?
 
6:30 PM
 
@ton.yeung live action reaches broader audiences
 
> Big Tits Zombie − Kyonyū Dragon
wut
and there are lots of h-manga live action adaptations
 
coz she looks more european than asian
> Mone Kamishiraishi as Kanade Ōe (top row, second from right)
looks like it's her first appearance
I mean… you know what I mean
but she doesn't have huge boobs
they'd have to be faked on set
 
6:40 PM
how is it her first appearance if there are so many google pics
ye coz it's not
only related to anime it is
otherwise she's been in a few movies
most of the pics are from Lady Maiko
 
maaaybe I should play some Falout 4 >.>
 
@HakashinouShinonouko if you do, invest in pickpocketing and sneaking
 
this is what I always do in games that have those skills
and I mean like the first thing
I stole everything in Gothic
 
6:50 PM
not like this, much more subtly

Talking is hard. Talking about diversity is harder.
 
This is pretty applicable:
 
in short, folks talked about personal stuff in multiple rooms each dedicated to a specific topic

Q: Our words are too complicated. Let's make them simpler!

Undo TL;DR: Our wording is complex, and hard for people from other languages to read. Let's make it simpler. Seriously, though, at least read my example at the bottom. For a long time, I've noticed a trend: People from certain countries (which I will refer to, collectively, as Elbonia) seem ...

 
wow how did that happen just about after we talked about this in here?
 
I blame @HakashinouShinonouko he started it here
 
8:41 PM
idk if he deserves praise or reprimanding
 
This one focuses on language, we talked about both language and age
I'd say he deserves all of the above
 
fair
ok how about… we make a meta post and a chat room dedicated to finding overly complicated (important) posts and texts, and try to simplify them there?
 
@HakashinouShinonouko I agree that we should make a meta, but I'm don't think a chatroom would be all the much more helpful... remember the the meta room?
 
8:58 PM
I can't start that meta post, you know how I describe things
gotta be written in official tone n such
