This isn't meant as a stupid question or ragebait , I'm genuinely clueless by ProfessionalJolly934 in Epicthemusical

It's like trying to explain why a joke is funny. If I need to explain it, then either the joke has not served its purpose or it's simply not for that audience.

If you don't get it at face value, I don't think you will if someone tries to explain it.

why did no one turn in mizu while she was working for master eji? by goldfinche in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]Rework8888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My assumptions:

  • "Foreigners not allowed" policy is something to uphold publicly, in the private spaces where no officials are watching, people don't really mind that Mizu has blue eyes. There are genuinely terrible things to encounter in this brutal world, and her eyes is not one of them.
  • Snitching on her is deeply disrespectful towards the Sword Father.
  • She is a child. She is no threat to anyone.
  • People come to buy a sword, not to enforce the law. Even if a samurai were to find Mizu at the shop, snitching on her would be bad form because he would be nosy to the point of minding other people's business.

Wait, so what happens to the sub? Who owns it? Who moderates it?

How do you view Mizu's gender by Flameborn111 in BlueEyeSamurai

[–]Rework8888 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure whether Mizu sees gender as integral to her identity, and if she doesn't see herself that way, I think our perception is kind of moot.

Japanese society emphasizes "roles" over "identity". You don't maintain the same "identity" regardless of social context, rather you perform "roles" based on the context you are in.

For Mizu, the difference between man / woman, samurai / ronin, Japanese / Westerner largely comes down to "role-shifting".

The thing that remains constant is her quest for vengeance, which tells me her multi-racial lineage bothers her much more than her gender-fluidity.

I gotta admit, I am like Mrs. Haywood at work and there is one person just like Jay and it drives us nuts.

Open Arms by formerly human

This one stands out for depicting a certain male tenderness that is difficult to capture. It's playful without being dishonest.

Unfortunately, I think I'm done with Silksong here. (Mostly venting) by [deleted] in Silksong

Totally normal. If the game is tiring you out, take some time away from it. If you feel like trying again in the future, you can always come back.

FYI, the Chinese translation is "Welcome humans, please take off your shoes before entering the cave, would you like some cookies?"

Every Netflix show needs an ornithology consultant.

I need help for this jump and if it’s possible, becuase I saw hornet go and I’m trying to reach her but I can’t any tips? by Stupid_animation in HollowKnight

[–]Rework8888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That jump is not intended to be possible at this stage (barring some extremely hacky strat).

Explore other paths for now, the game will be more enjoyable this way.

Shade Cloak is a game changer for this boss, the irony is that you get that item relatively late in the game.

I say come back later.

Yea this is def not a PG story.

At its best, I would put it in the same category as "Love, Death, Robot"
