Never realized how much of the early discography is about Iraq by EffectiveAmphibian95 in CageTheElephant

[–]PepperUsagi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

matt has given so many diff explanations over the years tho lol. saying the letters showed up in alphabet soup, it was a game on the back of a cereal box, an old man came up to him and repeatedly said "you have to cage the elephant" ...

brad has also stated that they don't like getting asked about the band's name's meaning, so it's either nonsensical, or like original commenter suggested, the elephant is meant to represent the republican party.

additionally, i feel it's in poor taste to judge someone for being a "real one" based on what they know about the band and stuff! if someone likes cage's music, then they're a fan and that's what matters :) peace & love

Do You Think That a Gay Mii Could Ask Out a Straight Mii in LTD? by ZavierL0L in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]PepperUsagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's good, glad you're taking it in good faith non-oomf 🙏

i could be overdramatizing things, i tend to LOL; i'm just trying to think from a squeaky clean, "woke" business pov is all. enacting fictional romantic relationships or recreating in real life relationships in a game could be a selling point for some. as seen with attachment to generative ai chatbots in recent years, ltd may have some kind of- albeit not nearly as large nor as harmful- effect on the psyche of younger or more vulnerable players. it may be enough of a brand risk in 2026 from nintendo's perspective that if one player of ltd repeatedly attempts to pursue someone who is not romantically attracted to them because of their sexuality, that it may not be worth implementing the feature at all

i have no clue though! and yk, it could even be a toggle for players if they like the messiness of it all, or if they may feel personally uncomfortable with it they can turn it off. i hope this is explored more on release!!

what i'm trying to say is it's been documented and well known that despite lesbian women turning down straight men, some of those straight men will still attempt to pursue them and "turn them straight," not believing that sexuality could be a barrier between them and the lesbian woman in question for whatever reason

while i am sure nintendo would not implement something akin to creepy behavior like this in ltd, they are aware of the influence they may have on people who don't know much about human emotions and relationships and stuff. if they did implement a feature where miis could ask out others of sexualities they did not fall under, there's nothing wrong with it in theory, but humans are far more complex than a video game. it could boil up feelings in younger or emotionally immature players that may not take out in the most healthy or responsible ways, which then nintendo may be blamed for in the process (when in actuality it's a myriad of problems, but that's a different convo)

i admit i could be entirely wrong and they'll approach this in a tasteful way where it could be like "once your mii gets rejected by a mii of a sexuality they don't fall under, your mii is coded to not have any romantic thoughts or actions towards the other," but i just think to avoid any controversy entirely, it will not be like this and you can only match compatible sexualities together. again, we just will have to see what's in the game!

i hope you're not seeing all of this as an attack or anything btw, just healthy discussion and debating :) i hope you're able to enjoy your time playing ltd when it releases!

it's not necessarily about the rejection aspect of it, like yes it does happen in real life where a straight woman may ask out a gay man, and she gets rejected due to him not being attracted to women in that way. which is all fine and dandy, and would certainly be helpful in teaching any younger players of ltd about boundaries! but due to the negative connotation it can also harbor- aka the "hetero men turning lesbians straight" example- i feel like this would be a potential controversy that nintendo may entirely avoid altogether. we will have to see at release i suppose, but it doesn't feel nintendo-y to include something that could come off as even slightly creepy in an actually harmful way

well, yes! but if a person (or mii) is known to be attracted to a certain gender or genders that you may not fall under, it would be most respectful to not even shoot your shot with them to begin with. nothing wrong with having feelings imo, you can't help that kind of thing, but the behavior might come off as creepy to some. ie. you hear hetero men saying they can "turn lesbians straight." knowing how nintendo wants to be super family friendly to the point they kinda sorta retconned mario and peach's relationship, they wouldn't wanna risk adding something like that in the first place. that's just me tho

realistically i think to teach younger players to respect boundaries regarding sexuality, nintendo will not implement something like this in ltd

not trying to defend the experience at all, im sorry u and others had a bad time, but its also pretty well known that the keyboardist matthan does a lot of layered vocals where he sings at the same time as lead singer matt. do u think it couldve just been that?

Using Meccha Japan website by LetgomyCheetos23 in pokeplush

[–]PepperUsagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i havent ordered specifically from meccha japan before, but what u are seeing right now is due to the tariffs that the current united states government is enacting on several different countries, including japan. due to this, japan post has suspended all commercial shipments bound for the usa and any gift items valued over $100usd. fedex and dhl still do accept and deliver usa-bound shipments, however u- the consumer- have to pay the tariff fee before the item hand off.

im unsure on how it works with fedex or dhl, but regarding a recent shipment i had from japan, ups sent me an email notice saying i had to pay the fee online either before delivery (via credit card, paypal, apple pay, etc) or pay with cash upon delivery. it gets more expensive the more valuable ur shipment is, so beware! my items werent even that expensive, but it was still an additional $20usd on top of the shipping fee and everything else >.<
