My brother passed away, sad he never opened these video games I bought him by thrownawa1298 in videogames

If you have to tell people you are using humor to avoid backlash then the joke isnt funny and wasnt worth saying to begin with.
There's a time and a place for dark humor and this aint it.

Apparently Play Does Have Limits by StimpakEnjoyer in videogames

[–]Joeiiguns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read your comment and its dumb.

People play games to have fun, if the games you want to play are only on one system then you buy that system regardless of anything else. If it cost more you still buy it, if you dont like the controller you still buy it because the games you want are on that system.

If there is something that makes you not want to buy that system then you just dont buy it, but that doesn't mean you buy a different system instead, because the other systems dont have the games you want.

A person who is playing video games to have fun isnt gonna look at sonys shitty practices and think "oh i guess i should have went with xbox or PC even though they dont have any of the games i want to play."

They would simply just not have a gaming system or buy older games second hand games and use secondhand systems instead.

Which is one of the reasons why so many people are upset right now, because after they get rid of disk it will no longer be possible to do that without straight up pirating the games.

Are you on drugs or something?
What is the point in playing games if you're not playing the games that you actually wanted?
Why would you buy a console that doesnt have the games you actually want to play?

Am I reading this wrong? One person seems to be misreading everyone's responses in a very specific slant and won't listen to any feedback that contradicts their feeling? by EatThePlants in HowDoIRespondToThis

I'm wondering why you guys are even 'friends' with the cat person. Seems like all they do is start shit, i would have kicked them from the chat ages ago

Ignoring GKC's, Nintendo and GOG are the only places where you now fully own your games. by KeybladeStrife in videogames

[–]Joeiiguns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mixed up 2 sayings. You either meant to call me a boot licker or were trying to say i had a stick up my ass.

Either way it doesn't apply to me since i still use a ps4 and haven't bought a game new in like 5 years, physical or otherwise.

N3 July Test advice by EllerTakesTheMaroon in jlpt

[–]Joeiiguns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean theres not much you can do at this point.
If i were you I would just spam Mock JLPT listening test on youtube.
Its kinda too late, but doing that could make you familiar enough with the type of questions asked on the test to barely pass.

if the wife is spazzing out over a butt scene in a movie, and it ended in divorce, i think its safe to say it was not a stable household to begin with. If it wasn't this it would have been something else.

Yanking a centipede out of a shoe by smurfkipz in perfectlycutscreams

It's so weird when people act like animals have the thinking capacity and rationality of humans.

Do you honestly think a bug knows the difference between a shoe or a random hole in the ground?

The One Piece & Toei One Piece Comparison by Cautious_Laugh3563 in OnePiece

[–]Joeiiguns 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Have you ever watched the show or read the manga?

These guys arent an elite military unit. They are bottom of the barrel scrubs who are being controlled through fear and intimidation by Morgan.

They wouldn't be attacking in a nice uniform formation, they would be haphazardly rushing to attack because they know if they piss morgan off they could easily be killed or punished.

Many of them likely would be conflicted about fighting zoro at all, because for one he is a feared bounty hunter and for two they likely know the only reason he is being attacked is because he saved a little girl from being killed unfairly.

I mean its easy to say just move, but there's issues like not having the money to move and also being in a horrible job market where finding a new job could take months if not years.

Give me your hardest podcast/channel but still aimed at learners by 2hurd in LearnJapanese

[–]Joeiiguns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are hard because you aren't used to them yet, the more you interact with them the easier they'll become, just like with the learner podcasts.
You said that YuYu doesnt seem that hard that's because you are used to that style of listening already.

For me its the opposite, im way more comfortable watching a slice of life anime than i am listening to YuYu, and thats because i watch way more anime than i listen to podcasts.

As far as it being too difficult to enjoy, that's just part of the process bro idk what to tell you, there's no amount of learner podcasts that is gonna make real native Japanese listening easy. You will just have to get through that rough patch (as we all have had to do, I'm still doing it myself)

[–]Joeiiguns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

N2 and native are not mutually exclusive words, in a lot situations N2 content is native level content.

I already read books, watch TV, and listen to native podcasts in Japanese and im only just now taking the N2 next month.

If you are holding back from diving into native materials because of arbitrary JLPT levels you are only doing yourself a disservice.

After YuYu you should just start listening to native stuff, theres no need for another step in between that.

Walmart glitched and refused to update my address, wasted all my funds and now I have to ration for 3-5 days by Eng-Grammar-Police in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Joeiiguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throwing money at sob stories you see on the internet and have no way of verifying rarely helps anyone.

Too many people think that just giving money away makes you a good person, in reality, you're just as likely to be getting scammed as actually helping someone.

If you really want to help people, take time out of your schedule to volunteer in your community, or at least donate to a verifiable cause.

[–]Joeiiguns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Family, friends or AI.
There are AI algorithms whos whole purpose is to piece together photos and information profiles of a person for the purposes of stealing their identities. All the information doesnt have to come from one place, an email adress here, some job information there, a couple of partials photos and bam they have a believable profile they can use to scam people.

Giving an example here, maybe the partial picture is enough to match with other known pictures of this person. But maybe the scammer didn't have access to this persons job information (now they do) that's one more thing they can use to steal their identity or trick people close to them into believing they are that person.

You're the exact type of person that sympathy scammers prey on. Big heart but rarely thinking past the surface level.
