I love that this thread is slowly developing into a Monkey Island sword fighting training course.

Dumplings from time to time bring their own (pool) noodles too.

I mean if we go further that way then a swimming pool is also a soup.

He is very tolerant when it comes to his owner.

Love this 100% cat owner mindset.

Fly me to Susan
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

I am glad that “I googled why I was coughing and it said I had cancer and would die in 7 days so farewell you are a good friend” will live on for more years.

I mean, gong-bao chicken is also just diced chicken tossed in sauce, and san-bei chicken is, too. Beef Wellington is just half-ass cooked beef in pie crust.

Rage Comics, the character style on the right, was used widely in memes 10 years ago, like how Wojak characters (on the left) work today.

“Now the real tea besties, when the martyr being forced to unalive…”

Microsoft Comic Chat (imo the concept still looks cool today)

Pink pony with a horn that no one can see is my spiritual animal of the day <3

They basically weren’t aware of the game before it got GotY and some even got sour that it won more awards than Zelda. (There was even a forum thread named something like “[sad news] a game that no Japanese has heard of has won GotY” which was quite hilarious.)
Then after the launch many players are surprised of how much freedom the game provides, and enjoy multiplayer sessions, classic big explosions, Talk with Animals, Scratchy the dog and Grease + fire combo, etc. There were some players that dropped the game with weird reasons tho, from “not anime enough” to “I thought this was an action RPG??” and even “I like RPGs but not TRPGs (??)” I’d say BG3 seems to be more like 50/50 in Japan because how its structure is different from JRPG’s, but those who enjoy the game are really fond of it.

Unfortunately Twitter/X is still the fastest way to find Japanese fan bases for almost everything. For example Baldur’s Gate 3 just got its Japanese launch last month, and it’s been fun to see their thoughts since they are not familiar with DND settings or CRPG all together. Many Japanese users I follow don’t like what Musk’s doing to Twitter as well, but they are also not sure about other platforms so it’s kind of it is what it is situation now.

Well fun fact time I guess: in Taiwanese, bullets are sometimes refered as “peanuts.” “Be my guest and have some peanuts” can actually mean “I will shoot you dead.”

Will you marry me

Yeah I love BDSM:

A magnificent blep indeed!

It’s crazy how these companies could manage to lose their goodwill overnight one by one these 2~3 years. It’s almost like they have some secret any% fiasco RTA competition or something.

Eating fried chicken sandwich for breakfast is completely normal and an awesome way to start a day.

Exactly. I was planning to just migrate to their official app after July 1. I mean yes the app may be an ad filled shitty experience but such can be said as well for Facebook and Instagram. Companies need money and I am perfectly fine with that.

It’s Huffman’s AMA that made me actively seeking Reddit alternatives. It was that bad.
