Duplicate answer to the new activity page, but not negatively scored so I can't vote to delete: meta.stackexchange.com/a/372796/361484

I guess I will have an exception and activate "snark mode" for once...

good news, @Catija... Apparently the thing won't get a second season...

<sarcasm>I wonder why... it was such a quality adaptation that totally matched the original characters personalities..</sarcasm>

Celebrating four years here on Meta today

@Luuklag Not a duplicate, per Rob's comment there

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog meh a fix will likely fix both problems there

Besides, we're not deleting duplicate answers there anyway

@Luuklag nah it's nothing new, when the milk is taken away from them they make lots of noise trying to get it back.

The extremists of the right wing are far more "dangerous" to the government.

@M.A.R. how to get tuna fish in FF14?

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 get a cat?

@Luuklag I'll try, but my spear might scare the cat away

Let me see if I can get to my character via PC, even though playing from PS...

Yes! :D

See? Cats will be afraid of me. :(

hmm can I turn her around like in the PS? Let me try...

Can't. :(

@SPArcheon :(

@JourneymanGeek there is nothing to be sad. Do yourself a favor and watch the anime.

I may be pretty strict on this topic, but outside specific cases if one is doing an adaptation work of someone else characters, they should try to follow the original vision.

Thing like Shannara tv series trying to add fanservice everywhere... do me a favor and design your own characters and stories to mess up.

mmm not sure if I should "defend" myself here, or just let it go... meta.stackexchange.com/questions/372049/…

Flag the comment as unfriendly? Iirc, personal attacks still are.

@Tinkeringbell wait 5 more days in case there is a flag-based trigger for hats?

This is the great drought that comes every year before WB.

Waiting to post questions so they count for whatever weir requirement may come up.

Meh. I'm sure there's more to flag in 5 days.

@Tinkeringbell Don't you believe in XMas magic?

There is nothing magical about Christmas. Miraculous immaculate conception, sure... but no magic.

@Tinkeringbell Not to mention people arbitrarily moving the date

!!/hats\!!

@MetaAndrewT. No such command 'hats'.

seriously you two, keep missing the jokes and I will start to call it "Heartwarming Eve" :P

I was just trying to imply that maybe everyone will magically behave and you will get no flag ^_^'

(yeah, right... so likely)

Zero-Sum Hat: not getting flagged during the 2021 Winter Bash period.

@SPArcheon You do a realize a good, recognizable joke has to have a core of truth to it, don't you? :P

@tripleee poof

mas excellente

and yay, another comment flagged as unkind

You want more of those flags? I can insult you, if you want?

Nah, just a particular user taking an issue with me pointing out things I guess

Finding dupes in bug report answers is cumbersome especially if everything isn't added in index...

@SurajRao use the following when searching: Inquestion:[questionID]

ok...

I read that as Inquisition :P

@Luuklag WE WILL HAVE TREE!

@Luuklag are you being pedantic again ;)

Hmmm or puritain, what ever suits you ;)

If they dare to do this after the idiocy THEY made.... I swear that I will contact the customer association and give them the lawsuit they deserve.

@Feeds and dazzle &#8216;em with animated website entrances ....

@Feeds Does modern onebox requires proper HTML encoding?

"require"?

i mean, driving a car doesn't "require" wearing a seat belt

though... thinking on that... why didn't car manufacturers make that a thing

considering we now have legislative people pushing for requiring vehicles to ensure the driver isn't under the influence before allowing them to drive

One of my neighbors had a thing on their car (court ordered) that required them to blow into it before the car would shift out of park. I guess it was a sort of breathalyzer to make sure their BAC was low.

@SPArcheon Yeah, I heard. Honestly, we did watch the whole show. Most of it wasn't bad but Ed was horrible.

@Catija Everyone I know kinda agree they took quite a bit of liberty in rewriting characters personalities (and this is the "kind" version. Most weren't that nice). So I spared me the thing.

@Catija Where do I sign to make that default equipment on every car?

I think the only one of the main characters I was super frustrated by was Faye. Jet seemed pretty spot-on, particularly the voice. I do think they took a lot of liberty with mixing and matching up the plot, though... Faye came in much sooner than she originally did.

you know.... StackExchange.notify.show("text") sure makes it easy for a userscript to post up an official looking notification

@Catija Wonka's quote.

> “Who can I trust to run the factory when I leave and take care of the Oompa-Loompas for me? Not a grown-up. A grown-up would want to do everything his own way, not mine.”

sure, a userscript could create it's own notiication, but, that sure makes it easy

Which roughly translates into "if you are trying to make a live action version of someone else vision by forcing your vision over it, you are doing it wrong".

Is there a way to suppress image loading in a chatroom?

(Preferably before entering it.)

Or possibly for the entire browser session?

adblock the domain

would handle most images, but not necessarily all

you could use an extension that collapses them automatically, but i imagine they'd still "load" when the chat code initially attaches it

@ChristianRau umatrix and some patience.

@KevinB If it's hosted on imgur, would I be blocking that or SE?

the SE imgr domain

i.stack.imgur.com

do note though that avatars also use that

It's okay, if I can block basically all images in my browser for a limited time, that would work.

I can't seem to get it working with uBlock Origin, though. I guess a picture isn't "multimedia content".

Ah, seems it's been solved already. Thanks anyway.

@SPArcheon I mean... I haven't seen a ton of anime turned into live action... but I think it'd be kinda hard to ever get it "right"... Like... the stuff Ed does is just... wacky but the exaggerated art allows for you to do it. So do anime things like using Chibis or other emotional expressions - those don't really convert to live action well at all.

i mean, present the story in a format that works for movies/tv series

aka present the story outside of the 'anime' label

Right... but that means you kinda have to change the really extreme characters... so you can't really make a "faithful" representation.

It's probably possible in some cases but I don't know whether it's always possible.

I don't think it'd make sense, to take an anime series and turn it into a tv series

because, they're the same format,

you might as well just watch the source

it being done as an action movie on the other hand... brings it to an entirely new audience

People like anime for very different reasons than they like shows or movies.

So if you turn an anime into a show or movie because it's popular it doesn't make sense.

well

And if the show turns out to be good, it'd be for other reasons than people like the anime.

it does make sense from a very... ugly part of making money pov

Now I wanna see Breaking Bad anime

create crap that will sell anyway for cheap, just to make a prof

@KevinB sure, I mean, people are destroying the planet for the same reason

Momentary gain, as long as it's mine.

I'm imagining Walter's head growing really big with exaggerated facial expressions when Jesse does something stupid

but i was more... looking at it from a similar approach as turning a popular story from a book into a movie. You can't get everything 1:1, but you can tell the story pretty accurately in a format that will reach a broader audience.... assuming it's a story worth telling

Chibi Jesse is to die for

but anime series -> live action series..... isn't enough of a difference

you just lose quality

with no real gain

Gus would have aloe vera hair, some of it covering his left eye

Always looking down

White headband, super muscular

@KevinB the thing is the show could be great, but it would be for different reasons. So it would need talented writers and directors.

100%

And the sort of writers and directors that could make a great TV show about an anime probably prefer making something original instead

It's reliving someone else's imagination, bound by their rules. Why would you want to do that

@Feeds what happened?!?!

@Feeds The cake is a lie!

@Feeds OMG. This is so true. :D I've made many timelines, though I don't usually get down to the second but it's true with minutes often, too.
