Maid Café (メイド喫茶)

While testing hats before the start of Winter Bash 2014, a snowflake notification told me I’d earned the Treasure Hunter hat. After adjusting pirate paraphernalia to fit my head, I tried to remember what triggers this particular hat. As it happens, I’d just received a gold badge on Cooking that I would’ve totally ignored if not for the associated hat. Suddenly I understood why this time of year resonates with our most accomplished users. Earning cosmetic items, as silly as they are, temporarily reminds us of what it was like to begin participating on Stack Exchange months or years ago. Plus, hats look really cool. …

The results are in. @LoganM OP, pls nerf.

Notice me, Senpai!

@Noticeme,Senpai! I win.

Well, most people do have an allergy to blood.

Granted, that has to do with clotting factors rather than histamine.

Hakase

@ton.yeung that sounds dangerous

Yuuki

5:01 PM

So not really "allergy".

@Hakase @ton.yeung is secretly a vampire.

Hakase

secretely?

Yuuki

He feeds this way so as to not terrorize the world at large.

@Hakase Well, unless you blab to everyone else like I just did.

Hakase

rather openly I'd say

I kinda don't want you guys to come over anymore

gonna buy all our cakes and leave

my cakes

@Yuuki technically Logan wins

again

I've heard a lot about unsavory decorative edible elements that look too nice to taste good and I see a lot of nice things here

huh

Eric

@Frosteeze Go to class.

Madara Uchiha

Alright @Hakase downloading DST would be too much for my connection

Hakase

5:07 PM

@MadaraUchiha so I figured when you posted earlier

Madara Uchiha

So Terraria again? (I'll have a better connection over the weekend)

Eric

Oh, DST is really fun.

Hakase

yes of course

@Eric join us sometime

Madara Uchiha

We'll play DST on the weekend then :)

Eric

Hokay but not today~

Hakase

5:08 PM

of course not today

everybody's unprepared for today

Madara Uchiha

@Hakase Steam/Mumble

Hakase

I gotta finish eating and then clean up the dishes

@ton.yeung this is why I started it all so suddenly

@MadaraUchiha really you can start without me

some time will pass until everything is working and connected

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

@ton.yeung free games?

Frosteeze

@Eric You first

Madara Uchiha

@ton.yeung People say you only live once, that's wrong. You live every day, you only die once.

Hakase

> What daily habit do you believe has the largest positive impact on your life?
Showering

shower is da shit

Madara Uchiha

@ton.yeung I died a total of 3 times.

Frosteeze

But people die if they are killed

Hakase

but they weren't killed

they just died

no big deal

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

5:20 PM

@ton.yeung Function ceased, medals ejected

Frosteeze

Those poor medals

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

@ton.yeung medabots reference

@ton.yeung I'm glad you found it

Hakase

nice

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

@ton.yeung Aliens, robots, cats. The trifecta.

Hakase

.@MadaraUchiha are we playin Terraria?

Madara Uchiha

5:27 PM

Yeah

Join us, same mumble same tunngle

Hakase

need more status servers

nhahtdh

And more status servers for the status servers :P

There are Kan Colle and Shinmai for tomorrow

And the day after, quite a bunch of shows: Ghoul, Saenai, Shigatsu, Graffiti, Fafnir, and Shirobako

Shigatsu and Shirobako should have no problem

I probably will watch raw for Kan Colle, Shinmai and Saenai

I'm not that big of a fan of Ghoul, just that it was watchable and I might as well follow

It usually takes up to 3 weeks, which is quite annoying

My most anticipated show this season is Aldnoah and Dog Days

There are quite a lot of LN adaptation this season, though

You still following Cross Ange?

Last week's OP and ED are a total disaster

I think the first half's OP is quite well-done

The A/B part transition in itself is spoilery

JNat

6:45 PM

@AsadaShino the last part of my package arrived

I've posted photos on the meta post

JNat

7:03 PM

inorite

also, on a totally different subject, I bought ffxiv @ton.yeung

@ton.yeung hasn't arrived yet. I did it just now :P

I'll let you know once I try it

@ton.yeung I do not

do you use G+?

ok, same mail you got registered here?

it is

oh, I already had you in my circles. I've messaged you on hangouts

did you get it?

@ton.yeung you did

Toshinou Kyouko

7:20 PM

Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love! is kinda lame :(

Taisho

Toshinou Kyouko

a loli, wine AND a present?!

JNat

Yuuki

@JNat PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

JNat

lol yeah

Yuuki

7:30 PM

@JNat I don't get it.

JNat

it's just a cosplaying girl on the atm

Yuuki

@JNat Yeah, isn't that a normal day in Japan?

This is what anime and pop culture has lead me to believe.

nhahtdh

Holo

JNat

@Yuuki I get the same idea, yeah

nhahtdh

Lol China

JNat

7:31 PM

@ton.yeung but was gonna say I had this same impression

Hakase

8:19 PM

lets-play Don't Starve Together this weekend. Ask around for when it starts.

2

just saw a questions about Gamagoori's height and suddenly remembered how great Kill la Kill was

I was also enjoying a wonderful cake while watching it

Abyx

I didn't watch KlK, but it's not wonderful, it's just insane

Hakase

I think that's wonderful

ooh now I have some fat crackers

I can taste the grease

bleh

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

@Hakase but I don't have this game

Hakase

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ it's on 75% sale right now

sorry I couldn't gift it to you coz steam is greedy despite making discounts all the time

JNat

anyone give this a try yet? is it any good?

Vogel612

8:38 PM

@JNat It's not bad

JNat

@Vogel612 that doesn't sound too convincing lol

Vogel612

well I am mostly... mediocrely impressed of everyting..

I'll say it got potential, judging from the manga

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

@Hakase who needs a copy of the game? I'll trade games with them~

Hakase

id on't get

wu?

whom?

@Frosteeze no

@iKlsR

Frosteeze

@Eric yes

@iKlsR ban Eric for truancy pl0x

Eric

@Frosteeze @iKlsR After you ban @Frosteeze for insubordination

Frosteeze

Hats can't ban ice

but hats can suffocate people

Eric

If the hat is boiled to 3000 Kelvin, it can.

Taisho

9:22 PM

@Hakase any 1 that wants to play

Memor-X

@ToshinouKyouko *puts Yuri Bear Storm higher on list to buy when it comes out*

Hakase

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ oh wait you mean you got a spare

Memor-X

@Hakase is it just me or does the main female get taller transformed (her head seems higher up) or does she just get heels

Hakase

the suit gives her heels

and heals and other stats

it's kinda confusing

Nonon's height is shown with the tall hat

so what does that make her without the hat

Memor-X

@Hakase what time (and timezone), if my friend has a copy and Aura doesn't though a spat i might be able to get it, also is the multiplayer through steam?

Hakase

9:28 PM

1.54m → 1.27m without that hat approximately

@Memor-X multiplayer is either through steam interface invitation or by server name

all servers are listed, password protected, full, whatever

me and my friend played earlier and instead of searching for an unnecessarily hard to find server name I just pressed "join game" in steam and it worked

I'm on vacation this week so I'm fine whenever anybody else here can

I'm assuming most residents live in US so whenever they can

Memor-X

@Hakase you going by server? chances are if the game can only be gotten via steam she's got a crack to avoid using it, otherwise i'll have to dig up my steam account and go about buying it

@Hakase Australia here

but US day is my night which normally works out for me

Hakase

looks like there's LAN play and we can use tunngle for it

tunngle sux tho

and it's on a big discount right now

and it's a 2-pack

Memor-X

@Hakase how much?

Hakase

idk I don't see your prices

-75% for me

Memor-X

@Hakase if i get your price i then convert to US the add FAT

Hakase

9:35 PM

gaben's fat

Memor-X

@Hakase no, FAT = Fuck Australia Tax

Hakase

104.75 rub

419 rub is 100%

but good luck converting anything now

Memor-X

ok, so that 1.65 in US, bump that by $5 for dying russian market and increase by 200% for FAT, convert to $Aus, hmm, $25, cheep

Hakase

:I

I don't think this is how it works but ok

it would be easier if you just searched "starve together" on steam

or maybe @ʞɹɐzǝɹ could just give you a copy if I understood everything correctly

Memor-X

@Hakase it's rough, there's a minimum $20 deposit on the card i would use but i always stick $50 if i plan to buy stuff

Hakase

9:43 PM

what kinda card requires a 20$ minimum deposit?

don't you have debit visas that work both offline and for no-scan purchases?

Memor-X

@Hakase it is Visa Debit, but it's a post office supplied Load and Go card, no name associated with it so totally disposable, it's probably just the machines the post office uses as most ATMs the minimum withdrawal is $20

Hakase

oh you mean cash withdrawal

Yuuki

Ugh, I don't want to pay for content I'm going to get already...

Hakase

still that doesn't make sense

Frosteeze

a talking hat doesn't make sense but we allow it

Hakase

9:52 PM

these no-name cards usually aren't expensive so… idk banks

@Yuuki consider it supporting the developer

Klei are a nice company

Taisho

Hakase

one of the few

Frosteeze

@Hakase but they has my money already D;

Hakase

@Taisho hands are huge compared to her head

Yuuki

Yeah, I supported them by buying the game...

Hakase

9:54 PM

guys srsly

Memor-X

@Hakase as i said, it's probably just the technology, what money i don't spend i can waste on cordial, just finish a bottle this morning

Hakase

am I gonna have to lecture you about how little money that is for you?

ʞɹɐzǝɹ

AB! Expo images: imgur.com/a/ycCsU

Frosteeze

I don't work though...not yet anyways

Hakase

9:55 PM

@Frosteeze don't rush into it, find a good job first

Toshinou Kyouko

@Memor-X well, I'd say its probably a love/hate thing

Yuri bears

Memor-X

@ToshinouKyouko why? you talking about the couple?

Toshinou Kyouko

@Memor-X did u watch the first ep?

Memor-X

@ToshinouKyouko i havn't watched it yet, i'm waiting for the DVDs

Toshinou Kyouko

Ok, just sounded like you had.

It's just very ridiculous :p

Memor-X

10:06 PM

@ToshinouKyouko no but just reading the plot summary on Anime News Network and it sounds like Level 3 or 4 Shoujo Ai/Yuri

In the human world, at Wuthering Heights Academy, Kureha and Sumika are friends who've fallen in love.

Toshinou Kyouko

That too

Memor-X

added the listed themes as Yuri i assume they are both girls and they have fallen in love with each other. with Objectionable content being Intense i'm thinking it may be Level 4 since Strawberry Panic! was Significant and violences tends to add to the objectionable content

don't mind level 4 so long as as the fan servicey stuffy is backed by emotion, ie. these girls are kissing and fondling one another because they truly love one another which has been shown thought the series and NOT we're making these girls kiss and fondle one another because lesbians are hot and the male demographic are going to throw money at us for it

Toshinou Kyouko

Is there a Yuri pyramid or something?

Q: Where have I seen this girl drawing before?

Quick question. This is from a comic I came across a few days ago. I know that I've seen that girl figure before but just can't place it. Any idea who she might be? A character from a Miyazaki animation perhaps? How about that little fella next to the girl? Thanks in advance. (PS: I know the ba...

Level 1 - Implied (ie. Nanoha, Madoka), we see the chemistry and potential parings
Level 2 - Implied Fan Service (ie. Chitose's and Chizuru), we see we see the chemistry and potential relationships but they are often put in risque situations
Level 3 - Focused but not explicitly shown (ie. Maria Watches Over Us, My HiME), we know there's relationships but we don't see any public displays of affection (at most dating and holding hands), good Level 3's you can feel the intimacy as you read/watch
Level 4 - Focused and explicitly shown (ie. Strawberry Panic!, My Z-HiME), we see relationships and…

Level 1 and 2 can generate Female Netorare quite easily, briefly read one of Akuma Homura and Sayaka but read it in the context that the Incubators were still active. Level 3 and 4 tend to generate less Female Netorare due to the parings being better though lines can be blurred with love triangles, ie. Nagisa being with Shizuna and Tamao

Abyx

you have like 80 otaku-level

Memor-X

@Abyx yeh, i'd be in the higher levels, planning on buying a couple of Organization XIII coats for winter

i would me max level Otaku if i wasn't a productive member of society

@ton.yeung it ending is it?

Natsu: i was being dramatic

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ if there was any evidence that things made in China are of poor standard then this is a clear example
