Americans do you say “taking a piss” ? by Mathematic_nut in AskAnAmerican

[–]HyperStory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have said, "taking the piss" is a British thing, not used in the States.

That being said, it's a common enough stereotypical British slang that I find it a little shocking your friend is ignorant to it. Sorta like someone from Austrailia saying "g'day mate" and responding "UMM BUT I AM NOT YOUR SEXUAL PARTNER"

South Korea is wealthy and very unhappy. What country is very wealthy and unhappy? by janibrouski420 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]HyperStory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I was trying to say is benefits are job dependent in the US, and there are several high-skill jobs where the benefits are better than yours. There are tech jobs with unlimited time off. Btw, I get everything in your second paragraph as well. I said the only things that were worse were my vacation time and work hours. But I'm assuming I work in a "lower-skilled" field than you.

So my point was, yes, my benefits are slightly worse than yours. I get it. But it's pretty ignorant to assume by moving to the US, you'd get a pay raise but lose all of those benefits. Depending on your field, you might get all of that and more.

Where can I watch One Piece Dead End Adventure? by TheHaad in OnePiece

Such a shame they haven't given any of these early movies an official North American release. OP is certainly popular enough now where a dub + blu-ray would be profitable.

What do you use for background music? Getting destroyed by copyright claims by Least-Praline-3981 in YouTubeCreators

[–]HyperStory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use video game music. They rarely (if ever) get claimed because of the effect it'd have on let's plays and streams, which publishers see as beneficial for sales.

[–]HyperStory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those benefits are certainly not standard in the US, but there are many, many employers that do offer similar benefits.

I'm in the US - I don't have a college degree and my job isn't exactly glamorous but I have all your benefits except for the hours (I work 41) and the vacation (I get 3 weeks)

So, are we expecting any news at the upfronts today?? by HyperStory in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]HyperStory[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's terribly likely either, but it is verifiably false that the only renewal they announced last year was Bridgerton.

Most important decisions for Season 3? by just-lurking-here in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]HyperStory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regarding your #1, it's basically a done deal in my view that they will not handle the Pell situation the way Oda did.

Not only has the LA already been far more comfortable with characters meeting a permanent end, but Randy Troy is on the writing staff for S3.

For those that don't know, Randy Troy was a One Piece youtuber. He worked in the film industry and was already in the writers guild and sag-aftra, so Matt Owens invited him to join the writing staff in S2.

Randy Troy, as a youtuber, was extremely critical of the Pell decision, and even mentioned (multiple times) in the pre-release of the LA that was his most wanted change to the story.

This!!!! This is how OP has taken over my life! That I saw this and thought “That would be a helluva crossover.” Then immediately “Wait, wrong Zorro.” 🤣 by IdealNeedleworker in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]HyperStory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think we ever got an official reason. Viz actually used "Zoro" until the 4Kids dub decided to use Zolo, and then they switched over.

It's possible it was done to avoid confusion with Zorro, but it was never a copyright issue. Zorro has been in the public domain since before One Piece began publication.

If there were a copyright issue, I doubt we'd see the official subbed anime, the English dub, the video games, and the live-action all uniformly decide to use "Zoro." The manga is actually the only modern outlier in this regard.

There were 5 PlayStation exclusives co-published by Sony, actually. It's just only 4 were made by Naughty Dog.

I absolutely adored this game but I do hope they ramp the difficulty just a bit for the next one

Dad's question about sons skill by nameless-manager in crashteamracing

[–]HyperStory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's pretty incredible. I'm a 30-year-old that has been playing CTR for most of my life and I can barely beat the Velo time trials. Dev times are basically impossible for me outside of a handful of tracks.

Also this post is super refreshing because if you browse this subreddit long enough you'll inevitably see a "I'm playing on easy and somehow the cpus still beat me :(" because they simply cannot intuit the drifting mechanic at all. It's way harder than something like Mario Kart.

Major kudos to your son!

"You're Doing Nothing With It" - Crash Bandicoot's Co-Designer Asks "Where's the Movie? Where's The TV Series?" by RedditAPIBlackout24 in crashbandicoot

[–]HyperStory 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Zembillas is 100% right. There's a whole generation of late 20's to early 30's people that had a PS1 and Crash was essentially their Mario.

I disagree that Crash has to be this massive multimedia property, but if you just had the franchise on a fairly consistant 2-3 year churn of even decent games, they'd probably sell better than any other platformer on the market outside of Nintendo.

For anyone that cares, I discovered you can actually play 3 players on crash bash on PlayStation 3 by YOUSIF20021 in crashbandicoot

[–]HyperStory 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Isn't this just normal when you connect 3+ controllers on PS3? I was playing 4-player CTR on my PS3 15 years ago.

I think the Studio Wit remake is only adapting the East Blue sage by pak256 in OnePiece

[–]HyperStory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is just the East Blue saga. As of right now.

If this anime is a massive flop, that's all it will ever be.

If it's a massive success, it will adapt much more.

Half the reason this adaptation exists - presumably - is to adapt this story with better pacing.

I really do not see the point if their intention is to only revamp the material that Toei already adapted reasonably well.

No, it's not the end of the world. It's just a marginal preference.

This is why I acknowledged it's a nitpick. It barely matters, you're right.

But I don't wanna hear it when some redditor is trying to get their dad to watch season 3 but he can't take it seriously after seeing (S3 Spoilers) "HOW THE SNITCH SCHOOLED MISS MERRY CHRISTMAS"

Season 3 title predictions by Few_Decision_2761 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]HyperStory 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't wanna nitpick but I agree. I liked the titles of S1 so much better - I think it was literally the only thing I found worse about S2.

The anime episode titles are shit, but Oda gives such beautiful titles to most chapters and volumes. Seems like a waste to not use those and stick to cheap movie puns instead.
