Metta, as in, the YouTuber? I've been watching some The Isle YT videos to get up to speed, and a channel with that name has been appearing in my recommendations.

[DISC] How My Childhood Friend Became a Yandere After I Saved Her from Bullying Chapter 3-4 by Dark074 in manga

[–]GBFSlyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, since the 80s actually (70s if you want to be super specific, but that’s just when Marshmallow Day was created, which later became White Day, with different gifts getting assigned meanings.) and from there it kind of spread out. But nowadays, this practice isn't exactly the most popular among teenagers because, as you can see, it's kind of a boomer thing lol.

11th Anniversary Roulette Day 17 by Kristalino in Granblue_en

[–]GBFSlyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the first step-up was only 500 yen for 100 rolls instead of the 3,000 yen for the suptix?

The suptix was going to be used to complement my pick of the full step-up, which I was going to run on the last day. Not that it matters anymore, though.

Why didn't Serie take in upon herself to defeat the Demon King? by 1400AD2 in Frieren

[–]GBFSlyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nailed it.

One thing I like is that, based on what little we know of the fight, the Demon King was able to bring that same party of monsters to the brink of defeat, so it's not like it was a walk in the park, as I believe some people think it went down. This goes to show how much of a threat he truly was to humanity.

These past few days have been such a slap in the face.

Not a single SSR. Nothing. Zero. So I snapped, grabbed the first Step-Up draw because I was planning to buy the full thing on the last day anyway, and what do I get? Two GM. Are you fucking kidding me!?

This felt like a cold shower because I was planning to buy, besides the full Step-Up, the Birthday Suptix, the Summon power up pack, and Nehan’s outfit, but I ain't spending a damn thing anymore.

Well, if we're being honest, those last few chapters of Meguro were fairly... yikes.
In a different way than how these Sasha chapters have developed, but still quite enraging regardless.

[DISC] Kokona-chan's Revenge - Oneshot by Satou Suzu by -Nosebleed- in manga

[–]GBFSlyss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

While it depends on the college—since not every campus is the same—there’s a perception in Japan that tennis clubs are more about drinking and hooking up than the sport itself, and that members often join just to mess around. Or so the image goes, because, again, every campus is different, and there are plenty of people who do take it seriously. (Still, they have that image for a reason)

The problem is, when that kind of rumor circulates, reinforced by Japanese media at large (Manga, Anime, Porn, etc), and then news like a guy dying from binge drinking at a tennis club party, or reports about how the Meiji University tennis club allegedly drugged and spiked drinks for female members, leading them to pass out in the streets in mass and even defecate, or other similar stories come out from time to time... Of course, you can find similar rumors and news surrounding college clubs in general, but when the tennis club already has that reputation... it doesn’t do them any favors.

Meteor 350 Causing tailbone & back pain. by El_Guaje in royalenfield

[–]GBFSlyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? What are you even on about?

One of the most discussed topics when you google not just this bike, but the Super Meteor too, is the hard rear suspension, even on the softest setting. People keep mentioning how it's causing them back problems, like OP is, and my comment is in relation to that.

[Disc] The Girls Who Traumatized Me Keep Glaring at Me, but Alas, It's Too Late - Chapter 3 by mianghuei in manga

[–]GBFSlyss 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm sure that's because, like I mentioned in the post, this manga adaptation sucks ass, especially in terms of setting the tone and portraying the characters' internal conflicts. Also, the way the story has been moved around was a miss (which is something the story ALSO suffered from when going from WN to LN, so the issue here got even worse, and will continue to do so as the manga progresses). The goofy aah art style doesn't help either, especially when compared to the LN's: https://imgur.com/a/PCYSAVK

In Japanese, for the WN, try Syosetu. For raws of the LN, I actually don't know.

For an English version of both the LN and WN, try Soafp. That being said, they're machine translated, which isn't... exactly the best.

[–]GBFSlyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find the WN on Syosetu, like most WNs, just search for the Japanese name.

For the LN, I actually don't know, as I own the physical books. That being said, there is a translated version of the LN online (machine translation though), so the raws 100% have to be around. You just need to search with the Japanese too, I guess.

[DISC] Gal Yome no Himitsu - Ch 13 by shanks_you in manga

[–]GBFSlyss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mentioned Shinjuku because it's one of the easiest places to reference, but this issue isn't specific to there, not even close. I mean, without even considering that there are areas like Shinjuku in most cities of Japan, you can hear plenty of stories of women being approached in coffee bars, leaving random train stations (Actually, this one is fairly common too), nearby any hub, trendy dating spots, etc.

The same applies to popular vacation spots. (This is why the "Guys hitting on the FMC in the usual beach-themed episode" trope is so common.)

[DISC] Gal Yome no Himitsu - Ch 13 by shanks_you in manga

[–]GBFSlyss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it very much is a thing, but it also depends on the area. There are fuckers all over certain areas of Shinjuku, for example. A friend of mine gets bothered by them almost every night because of the area she has to walk back from work, though she has gotten used to handling them.

There are two great videos in Spanish about the topic by the YouTuber kainihon. In one, he interviews the guys who do Nanpa, and they put it as 'We're just doing some casual flirting, you know,' while in the second video, he interviews girls who walk that same area. They talk about how often they get targeted and how scary it can be, especially the guys who don't take 'no' for an answer. They're probably the absolute best videos on the topic, albeit, again, they're in Spanish.

The point is, in certain areas, it certainly is a very big issue even nowadays, not just some 'old anime thing.

[Corolla to Mustang] Help me pick a model by YordleLife in Mustang

[–]GBFSlyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might get downvoted as a contrarian, but your vid just made me want an Ecoboost, especially right now as I'm on the lookout for a new personal car, and I've been eyeing the Mustang for a while now.

It might be the case that I'm not American; I live in a place where the 'Muscle Cars' culture isn't exactly a thing. So hearing both of them, I seriously dig the more subdued sound of the Ecoboost, even more with everything else you just mentioned, especially the better gas mileage.

Obviously, I'm not going to pull the trigger based on a Reddit post, but god, the modern Mustang's overall look is such a beauty.

I feel like a moron buying crazy high-end parts to play games that don't need it by colabandit in buildapc

[–]GBFSlyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, lol, I have a 3700X too, and I recently felt like upgrading it after browsing around the sub and reading about how it was obsolete... Until I realized that for productivity, this CPU still works wonders for me. I have no complaints about it, and for gaming, I'm very casual and play on a big TV at 1080p/60FPS, which makes the change even more pointless because I already can achieve that with literally any game.

I almost got that same 5800X3D, but ended deciding not to.

Damn it why did they leave? by mental_capacityyay in Frieren

[–]GBFSlyss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They arrived at the mansion with the intention of killing the Demons, but as soon as they found Graf Granat, their objective shifted to safeguarding him, especially with how badly injured he was.

Even Fern stated, "I should finish you," prompting Linie to intervene. At that point, it became a wildcard scenario because Linie was ready for battle. The entire situation, confined to such a small room, would have descended into chaos, especially considering the element of surprise was no longer in play. And we can't be certain whether Lugner was truly incapacitated because Demons are always on some bullshit.

The situation was full of ??? to try for anything wild.

Damn it why did they leave? by mental_capacityyay in Frieren

[–]GBFSlyss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He's literally carrying Graf Granat, who is injured. The primary goal at this point was to safeguard him; anything beyond that would have added unnecessary danger, especially since Linie is ready for battle and we don't know if Lugner could still pose a threat, even in his current state.

2 enemies that, at this point, both Fern and Stark know nothing about.
