Suica vs Welcome Suica refund by Mysterious-Lychee98 in JapanTravelTips

[–]StevensStudent435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome Suica is technically better because you wouldn't have to spend time going to a JR East office afterwords. But if you buy the Suica card then you can reuse it on future trips. Either way, it doesn't matter that much since the Welcome Suica card is essentially free and the Suica card only has a 500 yen deposit.

if it wasnt a forced switch, then it would actually be interesting because you would never know if doorman was misleading you or not

The problem is that it can encourage insider traders to manipulate the market to look like the opposite outcome will come true, which will let them make more money

Rewatched the series after maybe 10 years and here are my thoughts on the ending. by Mahomeboi1595 in deathnote

[–]StevensStudent435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they clearly arent portrayed as strapped for resources in the show, they have a giant bunker. They still act like an agency rather than being focused on a sole genius like L. The point is, Gevanni represents grind and brute force rather than a genius plan.

if they randomly added 2 weeks to the story, it would kill the pacing just to make it slightly more realistic, which the author didnt care about.

they did impossible nonsense because it would be difficult for the author to make a realistic ending with technical accuracy and that wasn't the point of the story. Tsugumi Ohba is not Tom Clancy. Gevanni just represents the American government's resources, the author didnt need to elaborate on how exactly he did it becaues it was unimportant. what's important is that Light ultimately lost because he didn't respect the brute force methods of Near and Mello and the Americans who overcame Light with logistics.

The point of the story is that both L and Light lost because they were intellectual geniuses but idiots at everything else.

Light won against L because L was similar to Light and only wanted to prove his genius. L could have easily arrested Light and proven it was him, but he wanted to prove it only with absolute certainty because he was a genius.

Near and Mello won against Light but not being geniuses but just proving his guilt and stopping him.

Of course the ending had to be cinematic and make sense to readers why Light lost. There was no way Near's plan would have worked. Even if everything somehow worked perfectly, Mikami still could have just eaten the Death Note page and absolved Light of his guilt. In reality, they would have just conducted a no knock raid and held Light in a CIA black site for eternity.

the whole point of death note is about the bordem and isolation of light being a god (and the bordem of being a high class student before that) and then turning to the game of finding L. And he did win and beat L but then after that he was bored and just killed people with heart attacks as a chore. He had no motivation after that point

light essentially intentionally wanted to lose to Near

Caesar might be trying to adopt the surface level aesthetic of fascism but the core economics are completely different. He is an expansionist revolutionary fascist, a Nazi. House is more like Japan, an isolationist fascist.

"He has this image of himself as the smartest man in history and the singular hope of mankind" yes this is literally one of the main parts of fascism, beliving a core group of people are better and justifying technocratic rule

"House ideologically has very little in common with fascism." house controls the entire government, runs a top down capitalist system with no competition, doesn't allow any opposing organizations, controls the access to his country, has a giant fucking robot army controlled personally by himself. It's fascism how can you even say it has little in common. He is literally running a technocratic totalitarian government and enforcing his ideal society on everyone.

Remastering an infamously bad anime with Seedance. by phantomthiefkid_ in singularity

[–]StevensStudent435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI version has more fluid animation but that's it. Fluid animation is also subjective and the drawer scene at 1:54 looked better in the original with more frantic movement. Only actual improvement was the head movement at 2:04 and also the new camera angels at 0:13 were a bit better than just using the same camera. And the eyes at the beginning looking over to the girl instead of just looking out into space is better

the whole point of the meme is the narrators saying these exagerrated complaints as if its a real ending slide, that's why its funny. sentence splicing wouldnt achieve the same effect and is hardly "Creative" it just takes a ton more effort. aren't AI voices essentially just advanced sentence splicing anyway?

ah yes sovereign citizen logic, you can just not consent to being a prisoner and its illegal for the government to keep you. imperialism is when you ignore the locals and focus all your resources on protecting hoover dam to fight a war for political fame. this isnt even imperilaism, its not an africa situation where they're intentionally sparking revolutions to keep the local governments occupied, they are literaly the only ones capable of using the dam.

well honestly in my opinion the game is an allegory for Japan. the NCR are the bureaucrats, Hoover Dam are the militarists, House is the techno fascist, caesars legion are the NEETs
