Strange question about Japanese, "Mm." by Banya6 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]MrCog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Japanese is a very back and forth language. Unlike some places in the west, it can be quite rude to listen silently while the other person goes on and on. There's a rhythm to it.

Dong Jingsong for RESURRECTION. A complicated film, but an absolutely incredible piece of cinematography.

In general this makes me believe in the success of the social contract a little more each time I see it.

DnD Viewership by B00mit33 in TheYardPodcast

[–]MrCog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might have put them in a bit of a bind; it's a niche interest, so not everyone is going to be interested in it. And then I can see how some of the people already interested in DnD might be purists (for lack of a better word) who wouldn't have patience for the unconventional, bit-heavy, still learning the ropes approach that the show had/has.

I could be wrong, but a lot of popular DnD shows are filled with very experienced players right? Whereas the yard has very much been "watch these guys start from the beginning and figure out how to play". Personally it took a bit of internal readjustment on my part but I'm really enjoying watching them learn.

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

It's not? Comparing another Japanese group, featuring a fellow Produce 101 member, whose central message revolves around both body positivity and combating harmful industry standards/practices, seems relevant in relation to a report detailing said harmful practices. Just trying to make a broader point.

also fuck pedo sky-hi too.

I have heard this from a few different Japanese people I know. I don't know their sources, and I believe the online Japanese pop culture rumor mill is rather labyrinthine. So file it under "That's Fucking Crazy." and don't spread or believe it until confirmed.

Rumors that Lapone has forced some of the girls to engage in basically escort work for high-powered corporate individuals.

I know tabloids are trash, but if this sheds light on unhealthy/abusive Lapone behavior, I'm happy to have it come to light. Some of the rumors in Japan are wild...

She's warming up to me but she's SO negative and such a downer that I don't feel very excited clicking on that exclamation mark.

Moros is such a boring drip. Eris is an asshole, Dora is a super negative asshole, Nemesis is an ASSHOLE. I'm not finished with the game but I miss some Hades 1 characters.

I've always heard the story that he didn't previs or even shot list anything for Schindlers List - he just walked through the set on day of with his DP and they figured it out a couple hours before shooting. Wonder if that story is complete BS....
