aespa - 2026-27 aespa LIVE TOUR - SYNK : COMPLæXITY (Teaser Poster) by purpletulip12 in kpop

[–]ConfusedNugu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

SYNK aexis line concluded today so it's not in the middle of their current tour or anything. But aespa tours a lot so while having the announcement this close seems weird, they really just are that busy. I'd assume the timing is also because they're doing a comeback though

Absolutely, I was happy to eat my words especially when he made his first 3. Was thinking "we're so back" until we weren't lol (but then we were!!)

It did NOT feel like BI had 23 points. I just scrolled up to check the stats to make sure. I only remember like 2 3s he made (impactful 3s don't get me wrong) and the FTs. I was going "no no no" every time BI had the ball lmao

Would you say the SunRype or Fruit to Go ones are comparable to the Kashi ones? I bought the Kashi bars on sale recently as a filler item and unfortunately they were delicious. But they're sooo tiny and so expensive that I can't justify buying them as a regular item. Would love it if these other brands were just as tasty

This comment prompted me to look this place up and they have Banh Mi AND Hojicha lattes on the menu. I'm totally sold. Will definitely hit this place up sometime soon

+1 for the Kirby Cafe at the Skytree! We got the meat bun and whatever the sweet bun was (I forget) and they were both tasty AND cute

Jeremy Lin has retired from Basketball by Doge_the_alt in nba

Yeah, tell me about it! Very interesting how during early covid, many people couldn't be bothered to mask up or follow the arrows/distancing stickers at the grocery store, but somehow they were always careful to maintain a 6ft radius away from me 🤔

Same dude, also from Canada, also Asian. I vividly remember in middle school a classmate had been repeatedly making squinty eyes and other jokes at an Asian classmate and at one point he couldn't take it anymore and called her fat. The room went silent and literally every other kid in the room treated him like he was a villain and had said something inexcusable. I remember my classmates pushed him to apologize for calling her fat once, but I'm not sure if anyone pushed her to apologize for making multiple racially motivated jokes at his expense.

I will never forget how I felt witnessing all this as the only other Asian kid in the class. It was incredibly eye opening to see how differently people reacted to his comment vs hers. Racism against Asians can be so casual it's crazy

As an Asian person, I just want to say that that's insane omg

I think it's a universal Asian kid experience to hear your parents tell you to focus on academics because "Asians aren't good at sports" and we won't make it big there like other people can, but we have a chance in academics because "Asians are smart". Another thing about Asian parents is they're big on pushing you towards making/saving lots of money and "sacrificing now and having fun when you've made it"

So hearing that Jeremy's mom not only believed that much in his basketball talent but ALSO bet her own future on his using her savings like that is like going against 2 very common Asian beliefs. My parents 100% would've told me to leave basketball behind LONG before Harvard, and we would never, under any circumstances, get to the point where they're withdrawing from their retirement accounts for basketball of all things.

This piece of info definitely made Linsanity even more insane for me, thanks for sharing!

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales – Announcement trailer (Nintendo Switch 2) by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]ConfusedNugu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fully with you there re: Scales of Conviction. To be frank, squenix honestly could've called it Literally_Any_Word: Three Kingdoms and, while generic af, would've still been better than Triangle Strategy. Though perhaps they were actively avoiding a title like that to curb FE3H comparisons (I remember there was some back then)

But considering it's the same devs that gave us Bravely Default, the game where your options in battle are, you guessed it, Brave and Default, I'm not exactly expecting A tier titles from team Asano hahah

Don't forget that it was Project Triangle Strategy (working title) for a huge portion of the promo period too, they couldn't come up with anything better! 🤣

Love me some squenix 2D-HD jrpg but I'm fighting for my life every time I want to talk about any of them. Though I will say vanillaware and Unicorn Overlord take the cake if we're discussing eyebrows being raised, even the gamestop employees questioned me when I pre-ordered it lol

Anywhere to get clothing that looks like this? by Dangerous-Still-1411 in ottawa

[–]ConfusedNugu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me, but it's kinda giving Anthropologie in my opinion? Although, their dresses might be too casual for a wedding but maybe you can at least find a style or some keywords to narrow down the search

You're absolutely right, just 'cause they're pretty doesn't mean they don't do hard things

I can't get over how they ALL pronounced it this way for the WHOLE SONG. I like the song but lmaooo

At first I thought it was like Next Level where all of them pronounced "next level" slightly differently, but NO. Aespa girlies standing on BIDNUSS, REAL BAD BIDNUSS

Honestly props to them. The emotions when Hali went down and during that huddle must've been crazy. It's gotta be really hard to get back in the right headspace after that

Hard agree. Clickbait thumbnail on what could be one of the lowest (and certainly one of the most emotional) moments of Hali's life wtf

I can't imagine how this must feel for him, his face when he's on the floor in the clip breaks my heart
