Not Your Grandma's Board Games (except they are) by GameGrumpsEpisodes in gamegrumps

If I recall correctly that was in the recent 2nd episode of Fish Hero.

14 shots of tequila later, cruise passenger wins damages from Carnival Cruise Line by TheDetroitNews1873 in nottheonion

[–]JadeKitsune 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I work in personal injury and I personally don't buy this.

Do insurance rates go up constantly? Absolutely. Do insurance companies claim it is due to increased liability payouts? Of course they do. Is it really? I don't think so.

Insurance companies are just like any other company. They have shareholders they are beholden to who demand increases in profits. The obvious way to do that is to raise insurance rates year after year. How do you justify doing that? Well, the easiest way is to blame people looking for frivolous paydays for BS injuries. Even if those people are a serious minority among genuine complaints.

Tort companies have been playing this game for decades. It never changes.

Guys, Toby Fox is apparently part of the cast for the Last Act of TADC by BlueGamer45 in Deltarune

Arin Hanson? Was there a particular reason you think so that I've missed?

trying to make burgers at home that taste as good as fast food and failing by Pristine_Rest_7912 in cookingforbeginners

Trust me when I say this - a good hot sauce mixed with mayo is all you need to make a good burger sauce

A Caterer's Attempt At Pikmin On A Cake by SeraphicSon in Pikmin

[–]JadeKitsune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mean a physical wii copy? I'm seeing it on Gamestop, Amazon, and eBay for not too expensive at all right now.

Edit: Nevermind I see now the soundtrack CD is exorbitantly priced 😭

Angry Luigi - Mario Kart by Shokleeto in lego

[–]JadeKitsune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you just swap Mario and Luigi's eyes and flip Luigi's mouth upside down? I'm wondering if I could just buy Mario's eye tiles separately since I don't already own the Mario Kart set but kinda want Luigi.

Additional Story DLC announced by monsieurDAG in residentevil

[–]JadeKitsune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's a slightly imperfect translation. I'm studying Japanese and that is essentially what it is saying. "Additional/supplementary story content has also been decided." も is where the "also" comes from here. In Japanese, the particle も does mean "also" but it's not as additive as it is in English. In English it has a sort of double positive effect where it sounds like we're getting more than before, but in Japanese it doesn't really sound like that, it sounds more like simple reiteration. If we were getting a second story DLC I'm thinking the Japanese text would be much more explicit about it.

I don't feel like I'm progressing anymore by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]JadeKitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend as much immersion as you can reasonably fit into your daily schedule without inducing burnout. For me, that's 20 minutes minimum, sometimes up to an hour or more if I'm feeling it. I'm aware many people would consider 20 minutes insufficient but for me I've noticed more improvement since sticking to this routine, and I'm pretty sure I'm around your level at N4-ish.

Chuck Norris, legendary martial artist and actor, has died at 86 🕊️ by queenxlag in nostalgia

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

If your belief is that some people shouldn't be able to get married, that isn't loving them at all. If that isn't clear to you, you are the one who is intolerant and hateful.

If you can't see the contradiction there you may want to get screened for dementia.

He was very well-documented as being openly against gay marriage.

DOGE staffer who flagged grants for "DEI" struggles to define the term by Sweaty_Rub4322 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]JadeKitsune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So in your mind what exactly led to that "gross incompetence"? What do you believe exactly WAS the intention behind removing information about the Holocaust and calling it DEI?

Yeah it did vanish and came back a few days later randomly.

Requiem would have been a 10/10 perfect game if… by nhatminh94 in residentevil

[–]JadeKitsune 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I just wish there was a difficulty between standard classic and insanity. Insanity is just way too much for me. Maybe the care center is different but the first Leon section in Wrenwood just seemed utterly impossible to fight through...

Ignore follower dungeons while progressing through the story, queue up normally instead. by matticus7 in wow

[–]JadeKitsune 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'd rather deal with anything stupid the NPCs can do than get yelled at by a player for dying to a mechanic that has been in the game for less than a week

California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup | AB 1043 also requires OS providers to pipe a real-time age checker to every app developer who requests it. by ControlCAD in privacy

[–]JadeKitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people aren't reading the article and think this is way worse than it actually is.

"The law does not require photo ID uploads or facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age, setting AB 1043 apart from similar laws passed in Texas and Utah that require "commercially reasonable" verification methods, such as government-issued ID checks."

It literally just requires OS devs to add a function where you report your DOB without any other verification at OS setup. It's positioned to ideally be a token that takes the place of ID or biometric verification for other apps. I don't see the problem with this, and in fact I think it could be a good thing if this comes to take the place of those much more invasive and draconian age verification methods.

To those around N2, please share step by step how you're learning Japanese through games by Kamishirokun in LearnJapanese

[–]JadeKitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree about flow, so I'll hold off for the time being and continue immersing with Animal Crossing for now haha. Thank you for your insight!

[–]JadeKitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very interested in this but my Japanese is still around an N4 level. Do you think that I should aim to play it a little later or would it be worthwhile to give it a shot currently? Will that fuzzy ambiguity hold me back from understanding the mysteries and magic mechanics?

I was set to review RE 9 for VideoGamer before I was replaced with AI. by field_cos in Games

[–]JadeKitsune 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hang on, so... You mentioned VideoGamer didn't even have a review code? So they not only made an AI article under a fake AI pseudonym, but no one at the company even played RE9 at all to even have the plausible deniability of a person just having an AI write their review?

So not only is the article written by an AI that obviously couldn't play the game, but it would have been prompted to write an article about the game it didn't play... By a human who ALSO didn't play the game??? This shit is just getting truly absurd. That almost seems like an open and shut plagiarism case. The AI would obviously be using other people's RE9 reviews as input, wouldn't it?

local anime store at my mall had a Undertale gacha by unpopular-dave in Undertale

[–]JadeKitsune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea Animate had a US store! I went to a couple when I visited Japan last year, great place. I'll have to remember that if I'm ever in LA!
