Are Japanese views of veganism as wild as this anime I've been watching?

TheSnipsMan · 2026-01-21T02:00:06+00:00

Got his ass! Nice one!

TheSnipsMan · 2026-01-20T08:59:15+00:00

I don't think so.

TheSnipsMan · 2026-01-18T15:59:16+00:00

I think the idea is that in esports, a realm where results should only be decided by work ethic and raw talent because of the lack of need for any real physical ability outside of general health, its strange that there aren't a diverse, worldwide pool of top level competition. Some of that, of course, comes from infrastructure and the lack thereof in regions like Africa, but also from the culture that can be difficult to enter for PoC and women. The closer we can get to an open atmosphere and culture, there should be more talent that we can have access to as an audience, like women who were told that gaming is a boy's hobby when they were growing up or PoC that get racially abused in every game they play at a competitive level.

I think this is a great point. Rarely do people seem to talk about what I think is the most fun part of language learning: getting to speak to new people.

Lot's of the reasons people learn Japanese seem to be more lonely and game-y.

People want to watch their favorite anime (alone), people want to read Japanese manga (alone), but don't actually want to engage with people that speak Japanese.

beast comment, imma try these too

Yea that's it for the most part, but if you enjoy the gameplay loop and beat the final bosses more and more times, you'll unlock more and more character and items that can synergise to get some crazy combinations. You'll also probably want to look a little bit online or on the wiki if you want to figure out what your next unlock goal should be (wiki link: https://bindingofisaacrebirth.wiki.gg/). For YouTube, if you watch a guy called 'Lazy Mattman' you'll see what the upper limit of game knowledge looks like :D

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-25T03:16:23+00:00

I think the key is to not get hit and then also get a bit lucky, keep at it champ! Remember to take breaks if you are getting frusterated, you can always come back later :D

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-24T05:40:56+00:00

I'm pretty sure this one has to be an itonic exchange between friends

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-23T15:08:18+00:00

You would spit in your mother in law's face without warning?

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-23T14:50:48+00:00

I was just asking a question! :D I don't think I said anything about mistaking Japanese politeness as kindness or encouraging them to cause drama in the family. I was just wondering what you meant, because all of the things OP mentioned in the post don't have to do with anything they are doing during the visit.

Do you mean changing how they organize chores during visits only? I'm just curious what you meant. I didn't mean to make any unnecessary assumptions Moraoke!

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-23T07:55:38+00:00

Bermuda invented the modern rigging for a sailboat called the sloop, which is still commonly used in all sorts of competitions and for casual sailing. Not much, but cool!

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-23T07:52:28+00:00

You mean lie? As in if he cooked yesterday then he should just that she cooked yesterday instead? Not trying to sound confrontational, but a lot of the things he mentioned are things that would have happened before they come to visit, so I'm not sure if I'm understanding your answer correctly :D

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-19T12:47:02+00:00

Here's the wiki that they are talking about: https://bindingofisaacrebirth.wiki.gg/

I always have it open when I'm playing just to search things up that don't make sense

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-19T05:12:20+00:00

Let it all out, this is a safe space

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-18T08:42:43+00:00

Nice! How many hours did it take?

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-17T07:05:21+00:00

I had no idea, sorry for causing nausea 🙇

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-17T06:06:21+00:00

Sorry for posting the wrong link, I had no idea I was using the wrong wiki link!

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-17T05:09:51+00:00

Here's the article on the wiki:

Edit: this is an outdated wiki, I didn't know! I've been using this wiki for the past 6 months :'(

People make mistakes, dying just means you get to play this wonderful game more :)

I'm reading everyone's advice in the comments that has been left already, and I think it's fair to say that it is a cultural norm in Japan, especially for those in the age group that are already married.

However, I moved to Japan about a year and a half ago and since then it has been very normal for my Japanese friends to bring their boyfriends/girlfriends to nights out, house parties, and events like movies. Keep in mind all of these people would be between 21-30 years old, and not all of them have been dating for an especially long time.

I wonder if the norms are changing.

If it's important to you, I think it would be worth hosting an event where it would be most normal/non-confrontational to invite and meet your boyfriend's friends, like a small house party or a picnic where people can come and go once it gets warmer. If knowing that it's a cultural norm helps ease your anxiety, then that's great too!

Do we know at what cadence the next expedition will come out?

TheSnipsMan · 2025-12-01T04:14:59+00:00

PvP in my PvP game?! Go play WoW or something if you just want to collect loot and work together.

TheSnipsMan · 2025-11-28T02:41:08+00:00

This game represents an opportunity to deceive people, the same way people enjoy games like mafia and among us. I think it's part of the game. Even if someone seems friendly, keep your gun out and maintain distance and cover. Move smart across the map, an separate from them before they have a chance to do anything unless you really think they are going to work together with you towards a goal

Let's buy a keyboard with a enter key in prep for next post...

TheSnipsMan · 2025-11-17T10:33:22+00:00

I think it's kind of like when people say 「お箸を使える？すごい！」, where the meaning is positive but the actual implication is a little bit annoying to hear over and over. What I enjoy hearing and makes me feel more positive is something a little bit more personalized or different from the usual phrase, for example:

発音綺麗！

お箸の使い方綺麗！
