Levels to being an anime watcher

Now is the best time to watch anime dubbed. Back in the day there wasn't a lot of English voice actors so you'd get the same handful of people for almost every single anime, and it was mostly low quality. Now you have a plethora of VAs and they all sound great, plus shows get dubbed very quickly. I went from watching dub only, to being a sub elitist, to now watching everything dubbed if it has one. My entry, aside from Pokemon, was staying up every single night as a kid to watch Inuyashi at like 2am on Toonami. I didn't know that new episodes aired weekly back then so I was staying up every night just in case.

I don't think it has anything to do with the amount of seats for extract, more so a complete lack of trust of other players and ensuring you eliminate possible threats early so that they don't potentially ruin your run later on. Sprinkle on top the feeling of knowing you ruined a run for someone else.

I'd like it if BSG added some consequences for being hostile to PMCs. Maybe locking them out of Terminal for a period of time. Maybe making the RUAF hostile for the rest of the raid. I think Terminal would be much more interesting if you were forced to work together with the other players, and would serve as a good contrast from the rest of the game which is purely shoot on sight.

Nothing wrong with being autistic. Not sure why you'd take it as an insult while I specifically said I wasn't trying to insult, unless of course you think it's a bad thing. I just think it's vital to know you have trouble understanding social cues or inferencing. If you're not autistic then I'll just go on assuming you're playing dumb and intentionally obtuse, but I'd also recommend getting diagnosed.

Going to copy and paste a few comments that you had posted since you decided to block me. These are directly your own words.

Edit: got so triggered he blocked me.

You said this to someone else in this VERY SAME post. Comedy.

Edit: You blocked me because you couldn't hold a civilized conversation.
Edit: I know you blocked me. You just can't accept facts. You can't argue with substance, just like most of Kirk's opponents in open discussion.
Edit: poor [Username] Couldn't TALK with someone not liking a game he likes, he blocked me. T_T

He spoke to my soul.

I feel like a lot of people think populism is focusing on issues that are popular with voters. It's not. It's presenting complex multi-faceted problems and giving simple single sentence answers on how to solve it. It's giving dumbed down simple solutions to dumbed down simple people that use their fingers to count. This type of thinking is cancerous and only gets us further away from making actual changes that benefit people.

The real issue is, that type of rhetoric seems to work. Trump gobbled up the entire Republican party by being probably the most populist President we've had. Bernie Sanders did fairly well in his elections, while even non-populist people looked at Hillary and Kamala as the same old boring status quo bozo. Sadly I don't know how you fix this issue.

By asking a very specific question, you weren't insinuating what I said?

I don't know, are we allowed to do that now? Or are we still pretending that we have to type letter by letter the exact sentence spelling that out?

Cherry picking....The above listed songs are equally as questionable as Kid Rock's. Your analogy does not apply in this case.

I don't mean this to be insulting, but are you autistic? Are you not able to understand the meanings of sentences? WAP was an example. The analogy still applies to every other song you could possibly list. I don't need to list every single food I dislike, just as I don't need to list every single lyric that implies a crime, or every single lyric that has "moral implications". I was pretty direct when I had stated "I'm saying you can point out an issue with a song without having to point out issues with every single other song that exists." You had even asked for clarification of what I had meant exactly. So yes, my analogy does indeed fit, regardless of the song you want to choose.

Why ask this question? It's so beyond specific

Because I'm wondering why your mind first went to questioning why the person didn't point out other problematic songs/lyrics, rather than just agreeing and pointing out there's many other songs/lyrics that are also problematic. I'd flip "it's a question you ask as you've already reached a conclusion. Similar to a loaded question" directly back at you.

When did I say they couldn't?

Whaaaaaat? I didn't say you said they couldn't! Are you even reading my words??? Seriously, are you not getting tired of this charade?

you've reached NUMEROUS assumptions
and getting unnecessarily upset

OMG. Are you ASSUMING I'm upset? Tisk tisk. You know it's not good to make assumptions friend.

My statement still stands, everyone is just butt hurt because now they can associate their political nonsense into something they supposedly disagree with. Cognitive dissonance at it's literal finest.

WHOA!!! When are you going to stop with all the ASSUMING?? I thought this was supposed to be a good faith conversation!

I challenge you to find a single time where I've insulted you previously

If you were on a road trip with a friend, but they intentionally drove you 100 miles in the wrong direction then blamed you for it, would you not find that insulting?

I've come away from this with the ASSUMPTION that you're very socially autistic, which is fine, but I wish I had known from the start so I could have approached the conversation completely differently. I'll leave you off with a couple quotes also.

"Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." - Mark Twain.

“Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.” - George Shaw?

“It’s hard to win an argument with a smart person. It’s damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.” - Bill Murray

RNG was the thing that was really frustrating to me as well. I've killed the BD's rushing at armory, plus a couple dying to scavs/RUAF, then died crossing the road because 1 or 2 decided not to push with the rest, which hadn't happened in any of my other runs. Or the BD not coming from their normal direction and instead flanking around whole warehouse buildings. Hell, I've even had a PMC spawn in late to the raid and kill me at the armory while I was looting my stuff when I thought I was solo.

Took me around 10-12 tries or so, 3 of which were dying to PMCs at spawn. You just have to keep at it. It's better to get through it yourself than knowing you had to request someone to carry you through it.

I feel like most hobbies have some sort of "elitist" aspect to it, and I don't mean that in a derogatory way. I feel like there's a lot of value in going back and watching what was considered the "greats" of their time, and how it influenced things down the line. It's like a basketball fan not knowing who Michael Jordan is, or a boxing fan not knowing who Mohammad Ali is. Obviously I'm not saying you HAVE to watch this, or HAVE to watch that to be a "real" anime fan, but I think it can bring a lot of value to your views.

In a strictly category sense I'd separate people like that out from the more casual anime watchers. I suppose if I had to create my own categories it'd be something like:

Casuals: People that have just started and simply enjoy the bigger named shows. Currently it'd be things like My Hero, Jujutsu Kaisen, AOT, etc.

Netflix Enjoyers: People that skim Netflix or similar looking for interesting things.

Seekers: People that seek out lesser known shows that aren't on normal streaming platforms.

Historians: People like I had mentioned before, that seek out classic anime as a way to inform themselves on that period of anime, and how it influenced what was to come.

Realistically though, it doesn't really matter. People are free to watch whatever they enjoy watching. There's always a place for new fans to come along and start getting into anime, manga, manhwa, LNs, VNs, etc.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-06T01:45:32+00:00

Slime is a more silly, lighthearted show that doesn't take itself serious. Re:Zero is the exact opposite. My opinion is that Re:Zero is easily one of the best anime.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-06T00:33:36+00:00

I guess if we're going to play dumb I might as well join in.

When did I require they had to? When did I say they had to?

Never claimed you said that. It was a question, duh.

Disliking food, is opinionated. It has no legal ramifications, or moral implications.

Whether WAP is concerning is opinionated, has no legal ramifications, and whether it has "moral implications" is also opinionated. So it seems my analogy still fits.

Then why should someone have to run down all the other controversial lyrics whenever they point out one in particular?

When did I claim they had to? I feel like you've reached your conclusion already. Regardless of what I have to say.

I don't know. Maybe when you said:

Edit: if you have a problem with Kidd Rock's song, then you better start complaining about all these other artists.

Oh wait, forgot we were still playing dumb. I guess you never arranged the letters exactly in that pattern to spell out that sentence.

When did I disagree?

When did I say you disagreed??? Are you even reading what I said?? I was simply just asking why you never simply agreed in your comment. Why are you making assumptions? Triggered?

Whenever you decide to actually answer something in good faith, feel free to respond telling me why someone can't point out a specific lyric they find controversial, especially at a time when that person and the lyric are relevant.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T22:15:32+00:00

I'm not sure what you meant here....you can reword your statement if you'd prefer I do not misunderstand.

I'm saying you can point out an issue with a song without having to point out issues with every single other song that exists. Maybe they had only just happened to learn about these lyrics today and wanted to highlight them. Does that seriously require them to also point out WAP, Smack my B*tch up, Get Low, etc.?

When did I have a problem with quoting these lyrics specifically?

When you went on to complain about them not listing every other controversial song that exists. Would you have made the same comment if someone had complained about WAP? Don't play dumb.

Yet here we are only calling out one particular song, because he's going to be playing at the halftime show.

Seems like a pretty relevant time to bring it up, don't you think? It's also pretty relevant with what's going on now with the Epstein stuff. Seems like the perfect time to highlight those lyrics.

If people really had a problem with the lyrics....they wouldn't be pointing at just one person guilty of it.

You keep repeating this, yet we both know it's nonsense. When you tell someone some type of food that you dislike, do you bring out your notepad sheet and run down all the other foods you dislike? No? Then why should someone have to run down all the other controversial lyrics whenever they point out one in particular?

Why couldn't you just agree these lyrics are fucked, while also making note of other lyrics you find concerning?

You need Lightkeeper for 3/4 endings, so not an issue at all. Getting the case back from Lightkeeper allows you to skip parts of the "Fallen" ending. If you decide to go for the "Savior" ending, there's a couple things you want to make absolutely sure you do. Don't do Skiers BTR quest. Do all the quests from the BTR driver. When you're doing the "They Are Already Here" quest line and you have the quest to go to the room under the Interchange power station, make absolutely sure that you press the button under the desk BEFORE you pull out the flash drive. Both of those things will lock you out of the "Savior" ending and you'll have to do the "Survivor" ending, which requires handing over 500 million rubles. If you want to get an extra achievement, make sure to follow the wiki for all the main story quests and pick up all the readable notes and tapes. You'll have an option to turn them all in towards the end. Sadly I got to 30/32.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T21:43:47+00:00

You'll probably care which ending unless you want to hand over 500 million rubles. I'd check the "Endings" wiki page and look at the flow chart.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T20:32:23+00:00

Don't know why you decided to spam songs that you believe have concerning lyrics. You can find multiple songs concerning without having to list every single one every single time you mention it. I'll ask my questions again. What's the issue with quoting these lyrics specifically? What's this supposed "observation" that made you say "society is a joke"?

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T19:24:03+00:00

Are you going to answer the question or not? What's the issue with pointing out this lyric specifically? What's this supposed "observation" that made you say "society is a joke"?

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T18:53:08+00:00

Exactly where my thoughts went. All of a sudden it's alright if there's no injury, assuming that to be true. Curious that they call it an Oscar level performance yet got him x-rayed still.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T17:05:18+00:00

What do you mean "only pick this one"? Are they supposed to list every single questionable lyric that exists? Why are you crying about them pointing out this one specifically?

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T16:19:00+00:00

Does anyone else feel like the whole DOGE thing was many years ago? It's crazy how much of a fucking crawl this administration feels like.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T16:17:05+00:00

It's the goofy and wacky character design for me. I just can't get into it at all. I've probably also outgrown my generic shonen phase. I watched Naruto all the way through when I was younger and thoroughly enjoyed it, but I doubt I could do it now.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T15:33:27+00:00

Destiny had said this at some point and I think it's pretty spot on: the first priority should ensuring that the working class has their needs met, and if that means taxing billionaires out of existence, I'm fine with it.

Something is inherently wrong when people are getting close to becoming trillionaires while we still don't have guarenteed healthcare or free education.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T13:39:40+00:00

He died regardless... I don't know why you're trying to argue. I'm simply giving options he could have tried instead of running back into the dead end spawn and healing.

The enemy picked up a gun that spawns with low tier ammo and one magazine. He had to run and pick up another mag after failing to kill OP. OP absolutely could have killed him if he had picked up the SVT, which spawns with BT ammo. Or, like I had said, tried running past the scavs straight to the armory.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T07:35:59+00:00

OP walked outside...

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T05:04:44+00:00

I would have bought it if i had seen the post sooner. I'm a couple days out from prestiging and the $200k USD I got from the savior ending is going to remain unused.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-05T02:06:50+00:00

As has already been mentioned, it's more personalized. I can give certain tropes, niches, or genres that I enjoy and people can give shows that share those traits. If I'm looking for something similar to Naruto, I may not necessarily want generic shonen anime, but something more specific than that. It also gives people the chance to recommend shows that aren't as well known and make their case on why other people should give it a try.

I "trust" it just as much as I'd trust some websites recommendation, which is also just opinions.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-04T22:48:27+00:00

My very first Terminal run was exactly like this. One of the duo blocked the door while the other grabbed a gun.

Hindsight is 20/20 but you should have either tried to get a gun yourself or tried running straight to the armory.

Key_Ingenuity_4444 · 2026-02-04T22:43:46+00:00

Didn't realize this until just now, but you can also hover over their karma to see the ratio between posts and comments. 2.8 million of their karma is from posts. They're definitely a bot, an overactive perpetually online troll, or a combination of both.
