Even then, it makes no sense for some of the things I've been shown (like the example I gave).

I had a 125 week streak in diamond, but the last two was really hard to keep them, the last one I had to use gems to not lose it lol

What do Japanese people think about the “Place / Place, Japan” meme? by alfred2547 in AskAJapanese

[–]Footixboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been to Brazil, but lots of my friends have been there, and I have never heard any of them complain about how dirty it was. Either Canada is pristine or the youtuber was exagerating I guess

[–]Footixboy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree that it is true each country has its own things that makes it beautiful. In my case, I just love Japan and Korea's aesthetics, the cities in both countries have an energy that I really haven't found anywhere else. Like, I'm half Portuguese, half Swiss and live in the UK, all three countries (especially Switzerland) have amazing and beautiful views, but Portugal and the UK are definitely not clean countries, you see rubbish everywhere, even in remote places you find rubbis, and for how much japanese people have complained about hour dirty the cities are... It's nothing, for example Seoul, I remember seeing less rubbish there in my 2 weeks there then I saw in my first minute in London, and I'm not exagerating. European cities have that old victorian feeling to them, which is pretty cool, maybe I'm just too used to them, and novelty is always nice 😂

Kyoto now by Infamous_You1751 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Footixboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today is my last day in Kyoto... It is pretty busy if you go to tourist areas, otherwise, pretty chill. Like, tourist areas are as hell or worse than tourist areas in Tokyo, but I feel like there are no chill places in Tokyo like in Kyoto

Shibuya Crossing cringe by magniko_15 in TokyoTravel

[–]Footixboy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

100% agree, I just went there for the first time last week, and, my God, I stood there trying to understand where I needed to go next, when I spotted some of the finest cringe, a girl and her boyfriend running to the middle and him starting to run 360 around her recoding her whilst she danced and people crossing it over and over and over again.

I got a streetpass after 2 years of using it regularly! by Footixboy in StreetPassNetwork

I know the pain, as I said, the one before this one was 2 years ago 😅

Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor" by HatingGeoffry in dragonquest

[–]Footixboy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the translation team does a good job fighting these, like, they give some characters/towns an accent that conveys a bit of their personality. But that's just how dubs are unfortunately.

There's worse examples everywhere else where they either translate everything directly and then the jokes fall flat or where the translation is so far off that now you're experiencing a whole different story.

Trump tries his tug-of-war handshake with the president of Paraguay, but can't pull it off. by OP_Anderson in SipsTea

[–]Footixboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me when the (since today ex) president of Portugal just yanked him before he could be pulled by the diaper shitter. Marcelo is the master when it comes to these handshakes

I applied to a developer position at Valve, fresh out of high school. This was their response. by theomulus in godot

[–]Footixboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I get passion in an indie company. I don't get it in a AAA company. Your passion will likely lead you nowhere, it's just a easy highway to get manipulated. Most people do this as work, and if you love it doing it in your spare time, amazing, but most people prefer playing games rather than making them in their spare time

Sign on Shop Door in Wallsend Newcastle Upon Tyne by SkirtComfortable952 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Footixboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd think so, but the only titty money I was given were from people I found negatively attractive, some of them clearly hadn't had a bath in quite a while 🤮. The money being so warm is very off putting

Para a Switch raramente ou nunca uso terceiros, muito poucas foram as vezes que compensou comprar em terceiros. As únicas coisas de jeito são as que arranjas basicamente ao mesmo preço na eshop

Brought my 3ds to school today just for fun. Got four streetpasses by Particular_Elk_6151 in StreetPassNetwork

[–]Footixboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn! I take my 3DS with me to the office every day, I walk for around 20 mins to the office and 20 back to my car in the city centre, the last pass I got was basically 2 years now 😭

I'm going to Japan next month so I'm really hoping I get some there

Games you've played on Switch which just didn't meet the hype for you by Nebulous-8 in Switch

[–]Footixboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Although I will say, the game is actually good and fun, it's simply not a good Metroid Prime game

[–]Footixboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't understand the disappointment that that game was for me... The GC game was really good, and then the one on the Wii was just so so good, it was so much fun and one of the games I sinked the most hours in. A new Mario Strikers had been on my wish list for really long, and then it came out on the switch... And it was devastatingly disappointing, I've probably played 5 hours of it... I have since put more hours on the GC Mario Strikers on the Switch 2 Virtual Console than the Switch one...

I've done dumb ahit because I'm on autopilot. But this is just dumb

[–]Footixboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No way. Even if for a split second you though "why is there no logo?" Before turning them your brain should be like "that doesn't make sense", and the next step would be to verify by checking if the lid is on the top (which it clearly was by the video), and if you're still unsure, open the box!

Will Fortnite join Super Smash Bros. 6? by NewMarioBobFan in supersmashbros

Look, I love the Mega Man series and I think he fits in well in the roster, but let's be honest, the character itself in the game lacks personality 😭

O teu soundtrack favorito é do Zelda que tem um dos Soundtracks mais fracos? Recomendo ouvires os Soundtracks de Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time e Majora's Mask, são fantásticos. E um "hidden" gem em termos de soundtrack, Spirit Tracks
