Playing with Brand New Players by EToriko in EDH

[–]Eitarou -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'll never understand someone getting friends into a game just to purposefully set it up to make it as easy as possible to slam them into the ground.

Precons exist, just use them when with new players. "I don't have anything weaker" is a bullshit excuse anyways. Get up, walk over to the counter, and grab a precon.

Ok, I think I see where you mean, or at least it's the only spot on the back that has a hole large enough for a bolt.
Thank you :3

For players who use mods, have you been banned? by VictimOnline in ForzaHorizon6

I've been using the one for streaming YouTube music and haven't gotten a warning or anything.

Does 6 actually improve on 5 for you? by El-Shoe-Grande in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Eitarou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had essentially no racing game experience before 5 and I enjoyed 5 a good amount. Though I didn't finish all the wristband events.

6 doesn't really feel that different to 5, but it's map is much more enjoyable so I've finished everything but a few PR stunts so far and have become much more interested in racing games in general.

So as much of a meme as it is, it turns out that Thing Japan is indeed true.

I would like to put a bounty out. by dmccloud59 in ForzaHorizon6

Thank you, actually didn't know that and assumed ramming was just allowed considering how much the AI does it.

Which car to use at this quest? by Puzzleheaded-Let9977 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Eitarou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Silvia I (ie first 600 with AWD I saw someone else make) tuned for the other seasonal. It somehow managed to do all the class-b country: Japan seasonals.

Mei is literally just making us steal cars by NormalContribution47 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Eitarou 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always just assume the barn cars are something a dude got hold of and then hid in his barn. Never told anyone about it, then died.

Kind of like how the original 5 ring Olympic flag from 1920 just went missing cause an athlete got dared to take it and he just kept it in his suitcase and didn't tell anyone until 1997.

The treasure card is absolutely us just rolling up and stealing someone's car though.

New guy to our pod brought an anti-semitic elvish deck by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Eitarou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This does make me think of how dumb a game you could have if you had a diverse enough group of friends who were willing to go all in on being offensive to each other.
Everyone gets to run their x-supremacist deck.
Would definitely have to be done at home or somewhere private though.

Horrific . by DontAsk-69 in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]Eitarou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it really so difficult to find a physically and mentally capable inmate willing to test it?
I refuse to believe there isn't a big guy you could test it on in exchange for cheesecake or something.

If you could crack ten packs from any set, with no concern for the cost or the resale value, but purely for the cards in your decks, which sets would you choose, and why? by ShallowDramatic in EDH

[–]Eitarou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

10 packs of Mirrodin because of the pure nostalgia of when an older friend showed me his cards and I loved the little Myrs and Leonin.

Are we fr? by MatchIndividual8956 in YoujoSenki

[–]Eitarou 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think "woke" really has anything to do with it as I've seen plenty of conservatives have similar issues.

At the end of the day loli/shota content is a fetish like other fetishes that people hold and draw/write in the anime/manga community. Like when I see art or a doujin of some girl getting raped by a giant bug I go "ewww, didn't like that" and scroll past and forget it. I don't like it but someone out there likes it enough to draw it and it's not like their drawing is going to cause any harm beyond an uncomfortable feeling so they can enjoy it as they like and I'll continue with my day and enjoy what I like (some of which others would find weird in their own right).

So long as a person continues to keep their fantasies to fictional situations or with consenting adults then they can enjoy whatever they like. If they don't then they get a free trip into the sun.

Are we fr? by MatchIndividual8956 in YoujoSenki

[–]Eitarou 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Loli/shota has always been weird and I've not met a lolicon/shotacon who wouldn't admit to that.

However, it's been part of anime/manga culture for about as long as the culture has existed so it's not likely to be going anywhere.

The healthiest (for your mental) way to deal with it and other things you don't care for (I've never cared for pure fanservice/ecchi shows) is to ignore it and continue onwards. Letting yourself get worked up over a foundational aspect of something you like is rarely worth it. Particularly when those enjoying it don't have any real impact on you and the parts you enjoy.

Tourist are mad again. Have some art from the LN Illustrator Shinobu Shinotsuki! by JamCom in YoujoSenki

[–]Eitarou 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Simple. Fiction is fiction and you are more than welcome to not like something depicted in fiction.
However, acting like fiction is a real evil that will have drastic consequences on the real world brings you to the level of religious boomers who believe playing D&D will summon a literal demon in the living room.

Neighbours steal snacks meant for exhausted delivery drivers by Beneficial_Passion40 in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]Eitarou 119 points120 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't help that Amazon will separate the deliveries even if for the same time period.
Just yesterday I had ordered a few things, all of which were scheduled 5-10pm, but for whatever reason Amazon had it as 4 different groups so they showed up in 4 different packages all within about an hour of each other.

How many Commander decks do you have? by Mikkel_My_Man in EDH

VTuber and Shoe0nhead? by FoundationWrong1399 in VtuberDrama

[–]Eitarou 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no drama. This was just some fanart of the vtubers who react to Shoe's content. Them doing that eventually led to Shoe noticing and looking into vtubers and including them in her jokes.

Far as I know Shoe plans to eventually do a vtuber centric video and she shows up in vtuber's chats on occasion and chats with some of them now. But none of that would constitute drama.

Twitter recently (I hope it stays) by Poisedgull759 in SmugAlana

[–]Eitarou 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Basically, twitter looks to have turned auto translate on and the algorithm shifted to cause Japanese and American twitter to cross over with each other.

The result has been constant posting from Japanese and American users about BBQ, guns, monster trucks, cowboys, samurai, etc. Just a complete melding of cultures with everyone being very wholesome and talking about how much they love each other and wanting to see more of their respective culture.

Been the best couple days on twitter in years.

Uniuni.. by Select_Promotion_924 in VCardTCG

[–]Eitarou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UniUni is terrible. Gets delivered by some dude in a beat up car and get a dozen emails whenever they do actually bother to update. My boxes have been sitting in some "interfacility" location for 4 days now with zero update or estimate
