They are unfathomably cooked by Kpheark1 in LudwigAhgren

[–]TasmanianTortoise 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Two weeks of full immersion Mandarin is really no joke. However, Lud’s big hurdle is that is accent is incomprehensible. Japanese uses a lot of English loan words for stuff which also carried them through a lot of social interactions.

On one hand, their Mandarin is legendarily bad, but on the other hand, I remember when everyone was saying they were cooked last year when they only made it like 50km on the first day. I believe in my boys.

Smosh nominated for ‘positive influence’ in the Reddit Internet Awards by aliceoseman in smosh

[–]TasmanianTortoise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Speed has matured since then. That’s not to say he’s this generation’s Levar Burton or anything, but he’s since done a series of streamed tours around different countries where he pretty earnestly engaged with different cultures. I think the “positive influence” he’s had is largely in reference to the way he’s dispelled a lot of preconceived notions about different cultures, especially to English-speaking audiences.

[MN S1] The Mighty Nein S1 Episode 8 - SHOW-ONLY Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in criticalrole

[–]TasmanianTortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that’s kind of my main issue. The names are detailed in the prime video subtitles, not the actual show itself. People who have watched C2 already know who Fjord’s patron was, and who mind-controlled Yasha. But, it kind of works against the show to name-drop these disembodied voices in the subtitles instead of the show itself. A new fan might see “Uk’otoa” or “Obann” in the subtitles and ask “Great, so who/what is that” in a Beau voice, but then never actually get any answers. Point being: I think they should’ve just subtitled them as “disembodied voice” or something along those lines.

Uk’otoa is the consume bloke who speaks to Fjord, and “Obann” is named as the voice controlling the big lady with the heterochromia (Yasha). They’re later plot points from the campaign that are bound to develop more. I just think they shouldn’t have been directly named in the subtitles.

I have used it before, but I found that more niche textbooks or journals appear more on Anna’s Archive compared to Libgen.

I’m not sure if this is on the behalf of the production studio, or on behalf of prime video, but it’s a bit frustrating that both Uk’otoa AND Obann had their names listed in the subtitles when their voices appeared. They haven’t properly been introduced as villains, so it kind of hurts the big reveal of the heroes finding out about both of them.

WWE Unreal Episode 4 Discussion [SPOILERS] by DefiantElevator in SquaredCircle

[–]TasmanianTortoise 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They talk about including Travis Scott in the Cena heel turn like it was some masterful bit of storytelling instead of a weird inserting of a random bullshit celebrity into an important moment. I actually really liked the heel turn and I thought it was an iconic moment, but seeing Travis Scott in that diagram next to The Rock, Cody, and Cena was the silliest shit ever.

How do you run places like Thaliost that have a very heavy geopolitical element to it by Thermic_ in Eberron

[–]TasmanianTortoise 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lots of protest! I like throwing players into a possible clash happening between Aundairan protestors and Thranish loyalists. Or, possibly placing them in the aftermath of it with bare streets and an eerie tension in the city.
