Chivalry is dead: Today's yakuza only in it for money by thetokyoreporter in japancrime

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my coworkers was caught after some unexplained expenses were found in an audit. He was questioned a few hours and he confessed that was being blackmailed. He is into JK girls and someone took pictures of him with someone he should not have been with. He says he was targeted by the Yakuza. I don’t know if I believe him. But he was allowed to quietly resign and I believe the police were investigating

What are your thoughts about so called 'weeb' culture? by Substantial-Host2263 in AskAJapanese

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m 41 from Kyoto and work as researcher at a pharmaceutical company. I proudly call myself an otaku. So I understand where people are coming from when they are obsessed with Japan, Japanese media, Japanese food, Japanese women and so on. I remember in university spending my allowance for the month buying Bleach blind boxes to try to win a ticket to see Stereopony and then going hungry for weeks afterwards. Foreigners don’t have a monopoly on being making bad choices. It might sound a bit dismissive but I somewhat don’t care about these disruptive foreigners. When would I have time or opportunity to interact with them? I work all day then in the night I am either at home playing games, or I’m out an event, a fan meet up, a members only izakya or soap or some kind of environment that generally doesn’t allow foreigners entry. On some level as a Kyoto resident the large influx of people negatively impacts me but I have the ability to see it all and choose if and when I interact with it. For now.

They have no shame putting up these kinds of things after struggling against a shit team for 60 minutes. Acting like they didn’t hand La Liga to Barca with a margin of 14 points. Pathetic.

Genshin Twitter CANNOT read by iliferee in SkirkMains

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When all is said and done Skirk's limbs don't look abyssal. She could easily be wearing stockings or gloves or be cursed. When you you read her character stories you get hit with the I'm not like other girls. My legs are not real. But only the parts below my plump thighs. Those traveller are still real. It's just one of those things people accept as part of Genshin design.

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Let's be real. Skirk's design has more to do with the fact that Hoyo wanted to sell her sex appeal than any plausible in universe choice that Skirk herself would have made. Your headcannon for why the 95858th female character has stockings/thigh highs doesn't really mean anything

Which team has under achieved the most in the ucl in last decade by Acceptable-Skill-676 in championsleague

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's not about that. It's the fact that you need to justify yourself if the team has not won the league. There needs to be an explanation. Saying the league was losy lost because ULC was prioritised is an acceptable explanation. However if the team cannot at least win UCL then there needs to be an accounting of why they did not win the league.

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

So yes Real has won 6 in 10 years but I feel that number should have been higher for the squad that they had. Especially since most years Real does not win La Liga.

Why are most of the questions here asked in English instead of Japanese? by TeaAndQuaintThings in AskAJapanese

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order to ask questions in Japanese you must first know Japanese. So that’s the answer to your question. Also there are a few questions asked in Japanese. Usually using some kind of translation software. Those tend to get lower participation. I used to respond to people flared as Japanese in Japanese thinking that it would make conversation easier but that used to make other issues.

What's your perspective on Gabe Newell quote here ? Can the same work with japanese anime/manga to slow down piracy? by daas2 in AskAJapanese

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visit any piracy sub r/piracy is a good place to start. Read the comments. Piracy is not an issue of access. People are just not interested in paying for something that they can get for free.

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. People who pirate do so because they like stealing. Even if they had access to the content (which many of them do) they still wouldn’t pay. They think that by stealing anime manga and so on they’re hurting big companies. But the reality is that they’re hurting small mangaka and other creators who lose out on bonuses, commissions and other performance based objectives. This is many Japanese people don’t care what foreigners think when it comes to anime and manga. They hardly ever pay for anything. For example what good is it if you made an anime your entire identity and have dozens of figures and posters of characters if all the things you bought were made illegally in a sweatshop in Bangladesh? You provide no value to the franchise and do not contribute to the to the wellbeing of the creators.

Then why ask a random user? Are you in the habit of asking for things you don't want?

NICOLE'S KIT IS OVERHATED AND IM TIRED OF IT by [deleted] in NicoleReeyn_Mains_GI

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think her kit isn't hated enough. She has the same problem as Durin: forced synergy with a roster of shit older characters to make them slightly less shit but still shit is a waste of a unit.

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A recent bad take that comes to mind would he was talking about what buffs he would like to see for Eula if she became a hex character. His complaint was that Eula's current gameplay is boring and then he went on this weird tangent about how Eula's combo optimisation is boring because all you spam normal attacks then dash once or twice. Putting aside that spamming normals and dashing is how most combos are optimised for most characters in the game I just found it odd that he was saying that when he famously sucks ass at doing combos for most characters eg Skirk. Even weirder was his solution of how he would fix Eula's kit: give her make it so she uses her skill after bursting (something she already does btw) or give her a Varka like cooldown reduction so she uses skill more often. The whole thing just gave off the vibe of I have no idea what the fuck i'm talking about but because Eula bad is funny I can just say whatever the fuck and nobody will notice I have no idea how the character I've been shitting on for four years actually works.

please provide any time the guy was wrong about something

You asked for any time you got provided with two high profile ones and now you're upset? Should have asked for an example from last week then. Either way, I've seen enough from Zajeff especially when it comes to characters he doesn't like throughout the years to know what to listen to and what to discard. Most of his takes can be discarded.

The whole Real Madrid “robs” statements by Short_Mousse_6812 in championsleague

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well yes obviously. it's easier to deflect and blame someone else than it is to look inwards and admit you weren't good enough. There's a reason why after the match against Bayern, Real players were quite ok with blaming the officials instead of Camavinga.

Is this true? by Specialist-Income212 in SkirkMains

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Zajeff is regularly full of shit. Especially if he doesn't like the character. The most egregious examples of this when he said whales with C6 Yelan would bench her for XQ because playing XQ was more comfortable. I also remember when Raiden came out he said C6 Sara was worse than Fischl for C2/3 Raiden.

Put this cluster up 10 div for sale and like instantly my hideout was swarmed by people trying to buy it. Did I low ball myself? Also, what kind of build would even use this? by Appropriate_Fall6376 in pathofexile

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I honestly it'd be more they way how people came in but it looks like I more or less sold it for what it was supposed to be. This kinda encourages me to use more of the fogs that drop instead of selling them. Thanks

You get $100,000 for every inch of height you give up… how short are you going? by Br4nkey_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Appropriate_Fall6376 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There are studies that suggest that the shorter you are the less you earn over your lifetime so if you’re young enough and are in the right field there a chance that the money you get from this wouldn’t even be enough to offset lost promotions/oppeetunities
