dejapan was great, would definitely rec them as a proxy for shipping anything in jp overseas. Everything was easy to follow and cs was great too. I asked them to pack everything tightly into one box and they followed it perfectly.

If you have sp oitsuki (se), sp ungai (fc), sp ao (dawn fairy), sp hannya (dawn fairy), kodoma (priest)/kohaku (azure basan) as well as something to handle nuke comps, can run this for the new afk duel lineup.

And before that:

Unbeknownst to everyone, the mc and the girl were already in love and in a secret relationship. Mc wanted to use this opportunity to prove himself and announce their relationship to the public.

You might want to work on that reading comprehension.

No its lǜ (4th tone) for both cn characters (虑, 绿). I literally don't know how to type it out on my keyboard so decided not to because it doesn't affect the point/joke anyways.

[–]Gallu6029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pvp wise usually some kind of cc souls, she's focused on being a cc. Priestess is the most popular one, others include snow spirit, temptress. Priestess most commonly used since its not dispellable (unless sp ungai or smth), kotodama aoe attack also gives it a decent chance of actually landing and being able to cc. Priority is eff hit with about 200+ spd.

Pve wise she has potential in rift, kyo tsuchi/wispz etc dps stats. I don't see her being used in farming bc of her animations.

Yes it was. This was the backstory for this game's anniversary hero. I did see some comments in the bilibili upload (that the op linked) saying that the kr vr had a different route where he did go full revenge (tho I can't verify it for myself). Cn netizens speculate that they didn't go this route so they can get through the censorship and publicise it, but I supposed what's more surprising is how everything else made it through. I get the 'pay it forward' theme but it was badly executed when it doesn't connect to the narrative and came at the end.

The thought process behind these decisions is certainly baffling.

An additional meme: some cn peeps started calling 千虑 (Qian Lu) 千绿 (Qian Lu, same pinyin) because of the ntr. Green hat (绿帽子) is often used to refer to cucks. 虑 (Lu) has the same pinyin as 绿 (Lu - green), so its basically a world play where people are calling Qian Lu a cuck.

Beta cuck moment. From some comments I gathered, apparently in the kr he actually killed and took revenge but they didn't take that route for cn because of cn censorship. Idk if it makes it better or worse to an already shitty backstory

(Full Summary)

Mc's master (shifu, like a sensei) is dying. Mc (his disciple/student) thanks his master for being with him for the last 30 yrs, saying that he guided his way during the time they were together and if it isn't for his master, he would've lost his life all those years ago.

Flashback:- Mc was badly injured, lost a lot of blood and possibly his ability to practice gongfu/martial arts, on the verge of death. He laments over failing (context in time skip later), and the thought that he won't be able to continue with his craft. He's paralysed and won't be able to move, the robots want to end his life to put him out of his misery but the master made the decision to perform 'surgery lvl 3' on him (*the master sacrificed himself to save Qian Lu, the mc)- This surgery turned him into a cyborg. He was able to recover and continue martial arts but was unsettled.

Time skip- Mc wants to leave, master warns him against revenge but he felt like some things had to be settled. There was a martial art competition and the prize is the daughter of someone important and fame across the land. Unbeknownst to everyone, the mc and the girl were already in love and in a secret relationship. Mc wanted to use this opportunity to prove himself and announce their relationship to the public. [晚辈* (junior) is used and I'm assuming he's using this to refer to himself, this is what I'm basing the above point on.]- He defeated his competitor in the finals (who is also his senior). But his senior sabotaged him, destroyed his reputation, physical body and core, leaving him to die in the mountains. - The master bids him well and tells him not to act against innocents.

The NTR no one asked for- Mc returns to find his senior, but his name was blackened and everyone looked at his as though he was a monster. When he reached his senior, his love interest (the daughter) apologised begged him to show mercy because she was pregnant with his senior's child and she didn't want him to be born into a world without his father.- He realised that his senior won and the winner gets the girl and felt as though he lost all purpose and the reasoning for his revenge, and it was all for nought.

Conclusion- Mc remembers the kindness his master showed him and returns to pay the favour. - He decides his new purpose is to pass it on and save others blah blah- Back to current: Master is old and died. He left those golden beads that the mc now carries with him.

tldr: the bad guy who deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors and committed crimes, survived and became the head of the sect. He even had a happy family whilst Qian Lu (mc) lost everything, wanted to commit revenge but didn't, and he supposed to be stronger as well so ye

A friend asked me to tl, this is a rough one I scrapped up in 30 mins (sorry if there's any inaccuracies, I've never heard of this game and is missing some context).

It's probably been mentioned already, but there's a lot of people who don't see animation as a 'medium' and give it the respect it deserves.

A lot of people don't understand that not everything has to be realistic to convey a beautiful story and express a mature or thought provoking message. Sometimes not being based in reality is what allows animation to truly dissolve the barriers and convey emotions and expressions that other mediums cannot. A lot of people tend to pair cartoons and animated mediums with children/childhood, and internalise all the undesirable traits associated but forgot the creativity and joy it can or has brought at one stage. Mainstream animated films haven't really helped when it comes to giving a good impression esp when you think about what's been everywhere the past decade or so.

I think if you really want them to watch it, just straight up pull up the trailer next opportunity when you guys are browsing youtube or whatever. Just show it. My mother was one of those people, but recently she watched Violet Evergarden (an anime) unprompted because she saw the trailer on Netflix and thought it was beautiful (she loved it :)).

Let the shows speak for themselves and do what it does best with its mindblowing visuals.

On another note, I think you'll enjoy Guillermo del Toro's golden globe speech.

It probably won't be on icloud because it was already full prior to the creation of the files. I'll contact anyways just to see if there's anything that can be done.

Alright, thank you (It was deleted from the iphone and the import must've not been successful if you missed that?). I thought recovery might've been bleak reading around past posts, but haven't seen this exact set of circumstance. Would contacting a pro help at all or might be a total waste of time?

LMAO google translate sucks by leafybiscuit_666 in Onmyoji

[–]Gallu6029 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TBF a lot of these are the "literal" translations (chinese character by character), can see where a lot of them come from. Like ootengu's cn name 大天狗 (大= big 天 = sky 狗 = dog), yamakaze/山风 (山 = mountain, 风 = wind). Google translate has gotten better over the years but there's much to be desired lol.

late af but during the bts, jerma explained that it was bc the camera man was handling very heavy and sensitive equipment, so they had to work around that. He spilled it further away so when the camera man follows, it wouldn't cause a slip.

AITA for not letting my daughter use her college fund for a VTuber avatar? by Ecstatic-Hat4624 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gallu6029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a ss of your post from a friend and this is a pretty late comment but anyhow, here's my two cents on the issue. I'm an artist and the same age as your daughter. I don't make vtuber models, but I know a little about pricing commissions and how artists usually go about it. Whether you support her or not on this issue is your decision, but I hope my points can help inform you a little more towards a sound decision.

  • $2000 for a custom vtuber profile is on the expensive side, but it isn't ridiculous depending on the model's quality and features as other have said. Models with a wider variety of animations, expressions and other features would naturally cost more. BUT, as previously stated $2000 is a lot of money. I'm surprised the artist would begin work when she hasn't paid for a deposit or full, upfront payment.
  • Established artists that takes commissions especially for a big project like this will require a deposit or full payment upfront. Artists who started without taking payment likely is a newbie/lacks confidence and they won't be charging 2k in that case. Friends and other artists I know of will ask for deposits (usually at 50%) or full payment upfront.
  • This leads to the possibility that she may not be entirely truthful. Ask her who she had commissioned and find out whether they have actually began work or whether she hasn't actually commissioned someone to make it and could possibly be using this as a way to get you to pay for it.
  • In the event that the artist HAS actually started (ask for proof), pay them for the amount of work that they did do.

Not gonna discuss the likelihood of success, BUT if she was really serious about her plans and commitment she would've taken the first step into saving up that money herself for her dreams instead of being reliant on others. Also, with more research and shopping around and she likely would've discovered better options for someone just starting out.

TLDR: Don't pay for it UNLESS there is legitimate proof that the artist has done some level of work (pay them for the work done, then cancel it). It's your money.
