2013-11-12T00:00:34 And I’m not interested in parties either, at least the kind of party most people seem to enjoy. ^^' 2013-11-12T00:01:48 Tosiaki: do you mean honor societies? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_College_Honor_Societies 2013-11-12T00:01:49 <[Bot]MagicStone> Title: Association of College Honor Societies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at en.wikipedia.org) 2013-11-12T00:03:54 Some are honor societies, but there are a lot of social fraternities. 2013-11-12T00:04:16 Yeah, I don't especially like the "heavy drinking" kinds of parties either. 2013-11-12T00:05:07 But people around here talk about "going out" a lot, and these kinds of things are probably what they mean. 2013-11-12T00:07:59 *** Twidona has quit IRC 2013-11-12T00:09:55 For example, I remember there being a Phi Kappa Tau here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_Kappa_Tau 2013-11-12T00:09:56 <[Bot]MagicStone> Title: Phi Kappa Tau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at en.wikipedia.org) 2013-11-12T00:10:39 screw frats 2013-11-12T00:10:54 join the army if u want to be in a frat mentality :P 2013-11-12T00:11:07 >In 2003 Bradley University student Robert Schmalz, age 22, died from alcohol poisoning during a rush week event. The event happened shortly before the university received a national award for its efforts to reduce alcohol abuse. 2013-11-12T00:11:09 ouch 2013-11-12T00:11:14 rEXACTLY 2013-11-12T00:11:24 so much trouble with these frats 2013-11-12T00:14:39 are they like sects or something? 2013-11-12T00:18:55 Sects? 2013-11-12T00:20:00 Like a religion, but without that many followers yet. 2013-11-12T00:21:26 oh, i see http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraternities_and_sororities 2013-11-12T00:21:27 <[Bot]MagicStone> Title: Fraternities and sororities - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at simple.wikipedia.org) 2013-11-12T00:22:16 Good night. \o_ 2013-11-12T00:27:38 oh no golks 2013-11-12T00:27:42 *folks 2013-11-12T00:27:51 OK, so, about sororities... 2013-11-12T00:27:54 and fraternities 2013-11-12T00:28:00 Like a religion...? Maybe... I don't think so though. 2013-11-12T00:28:02 they're not like "religious organizations" or what not 2013-11-12T00:28:30 Religion-like requires a greater adherence than simple "doing stuff together." 2013-11-12T00:28:38 More like a crazy social club. 2013-11-12T00:29:03 yeah it has nothing to do with religion 2013-11-12T00:30:20 they're just some really crazy dudes... 2013-11-12T00:30:31 Well some things that don't have anything to do with religion can still be called "religion-like," just that it requires something more than "social activities." 2013-11-12T00:30:36 kinda like Touhou fans in a way 2013-11-12T00:32:11 By the way, I was previously talking about what we have in real life that we still don't have on the internet. And wanted to think a little about why fraternities don't simply advertise online... 2013-11-12T00:32:12 well, i didn't mean it in a religious sence 2013-11-12T00:32:40 *** Nmlgc has quit IRC 2013-11-12T00:33:14 anyway why did Tosiaki start talking about frats again? 2013-11-12T00:33:14 Tosiaki: wrong target auditory? 2013-11-12T00:33:24 yes what nurupo said 2013-11-12T00:33:26 wrong target 2013-11-12T00:34:12 Yeah. Just, what is the general usefulness of real-life communication? Does it have usefulness? I've been wondering that for a while. 2013-11-12T00:34:36 *audience 2013-11-12T00:34:45 *** Nmlgc has joined #thcrap 2013-11-12T00:35:53 And what you just mentioned, "target audience" may just why real-life is still important as of yet, at least as of now. 2013-11-12T00:36:01 Tosiaki: maybe at least the fact that it's more expressive and every one from early age can engage in it? 2013-11-12T00:36:46 That too. Connectedness in general...? Although that kind of thing is easier to say and less easy to demonstrate. 2013-11-12T00:57:59 The benefits of real-life communication may also be sensory as well. Even with video and audio chat, a group prayer, for example, wouldn't be the same without physical presence, right? 2013-11-12T01:07:04 When people do things, they are usually driven by some kind of sensory stimulus that draws them to it, I think. A chat room has its charms, but is this the same as a group of people in real life? If not, what is the difference? What is the difference between introducing someone to a chat room versus introducing someone to a real life group of people? And other such questions I wonder about. 2013-11-12T01:11:54 *** Nazeo has joined #thcrap 2013-11-12T01:20:49 Although if I think about it, most real-life interactions happen by first "coming across each other by chance" rather than specifically seeking each other... I think. 2013-11-12T01:21:05 Pretty much. 2013-11-12T01:23:35 *** Nmlgc has quit IRC 2013-11-12T01:25:14 By the way everyone. I've decided to do something I put off for a long time and translate part of Paranormal Syndrome (or Kaii Syndrome), 怪異症候群 2013-11-12T01:26:12 *** Nmlgc has joined #thcrap 2013-11-12T01:26:15 I've uploaded a partially patched version on dropbox 2013-11-12T01:26:55 It's a well-known 2D horror game that has been known for some time but still yet to be translated (at least until I fully translate it) 2013-11-12T01:27:23 Corpse Party? 2013-11-12T01:27:32 Is that another 2D horror game? 2013-11-12T01:28:21 Mhm. 2013-11-12T01:28:45 Though it looks like that one has already been translated, of course. 2013-11-12T01:29:09 Anyways, details can be found here: http://uboachan.net/og/res/2558.html 2013-11-12T01:31:45 This 怪異症候群 has around 190 maps to translate... chapter 1 uses 17 of them. 2013-11-12T01:35:17 *** DeltaSierra4_ has joined #thcrap 2013-11-12T01:37:48 *** DeltaSierra4 has quit IRC 2013-11-12T01:40:37 *** Ramnik has joined #thcrap 2013-11-12T01:40:41 Wow, this RPGMakerTrans tool looks interesting. Too bad that it's hardcoded to Japanese locale, though. 2013-11-12T01:41:11 Why is decoding hardcoded things difficult? :o 2013-11-12T01:41:14 Oh 2013-11-12T01:41:17 No source code. 2013-11-12T01:41:18 Derp. 2013-11-12T01:42:13 What would it take to change locales in assembly? 2013-11-12T01:43:19 It's written in Python, so I wouldn't really know how to hack it. 2013-11-12T01:45:07 Lately, I've been thinking about expanding thcrap to cover RPG Maker games after I'm done with Seihou. Mainly to bring some of the German RPG Maker games I sort of grew up with to an international audience (as if anyone would really care). 2013-11-12T01:47:17 Well I know that the Japanese ones have received quite a lot of attention recently after they were translated... namely Ao Oni, Yume Nikki, Ib, Mad Father, Misao, The Witch's House 2013-11-12T01:48:53 And that tool seems to crash as soon as it hits any umlauts ("illegal cp932 sequence"). 2013-11-12T01:50:03 Guess the only thing to do would be to use RPG Maker itself? 2013-11-12T01:51:59 *** DeltaSierra4_ is now known as DeltaSierra4 2013-11-12T01:53:34 Probably, but there's the whole copyright/redistribution issue (which is pretty much the reason programs like this exist in the first place). 2013-11-12T01:53:52 It wouldn't be a problem in this case, since all these games have been freeware anyway. But well, I don't really like static patches :) 2013-11-12T01:55:35 Well, guess that plan will suffer the same fate as support for the Tasofro games: I'm pretty reluctant to reimplement an already existing closed-source translation engine just so I could modify some few aspects necessary for our case. 2013-11-12T01:56:41 I see. In order to do this properly, it might be necessary to find where the text is in the binary then, right? 2013-11-12T01:58:55 Or essentially create a new tool like RPGMakerTrans or find out how to modify it... 2013-11-12T02:09:43 Doing it *really* properly would require converting the original text from any possible locale to UTF-8, then patching RPG_RT.EXE to displaying that correctly. 2013-11-12T02:10:33 http://habisain.blogspot.de/2012/06/request.html << Seems like Habisain already tried something similar, but didn't really manage to pull it off. 2013-11-12T02:10:34 <[Bot]MagicStone> Title: Habisains Stuff: Request (at habisain.blogspot.de) 2013-11-12T02:20:03 "I'm done with Seihou.
