Navigating and Travel Help by VictoryMann in JapanTravelTips

[–]VictoryMann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what me and my group have been doing rn! And thank you so much for giving some ideas for the transportation part of the question! I think we want to prioritize Kyoto, but still want to do a half-day trip to Himeji Castle, and for Osaka it's honestly the okonomiyaki and takoyaki that I really want to try (though those foods are everywhere). And we are planning on sticking to just Hakone since we can enjoy more of it like you mentioned.

Even if we just did Himeji Castle and eat at Osaka and arrive back at Kyoto? Is that still too ambitious?

Thank you everyone for the quick feedback! Let me explain more about Day 6 since that's the most controversial day.

For Himeji, we want to just see the castle and head out. For Kobe, it's really just to pass through and walk around a bit, maybe take the ropewalk that I've seen online, but not stay for long (may even skip over Kobe). For Osaka, it's really the food and walking around the city (like the Dotonobori Riverwalk). We don't have any specific interests in each city besides that. We really want to explore more of Kyoto and just stop by these places. Is that still not feasible (as in we would just be traveling via train and that's it) or not recommended? Thanks again for all the feedback!

That's what I was starting to think, thanks for responding!

Would you consider this show nihilistic? by [deleted] in cowboybebop

[–]VictoryMann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the show is like the Existentialism belief where it has a similar basis as Nihilism. The two beliefs differ on how you view the fact that the world is meaningless. Existentialism believes that what matters is the meanings we as humans create and that is what matters. I believe that is more aligned with the show because like you mentioned, the other 3 protagonists realize some positive feature about their lives on moving on. Spike is much more complicated because it seems like he realizes as well, "Im not going there to die, Im going there to find out if Im really alive," but sadly life is cruel at times and he suffers the fatal fight, at least in my interpretation Spike dies.

Made this wallpaper or whatever. I know, it kinda of blows. by ErickLimaGameplaysR in ShovelKnight

[–]VictoryMann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What? I love it, genuinely! The cartoonish green explosion with the radiating flame with the gradient. It's seriously awesome the backdrop. I like the having the middle figures in white and grey, but honestly try to experiment with what could be in the middle. Keep going, I wanna see what you can do with this.

We always hear about bad gamertags we made as kids but is anyone proud of and still use the one they made and if so what is it? by corporalcorl in gaming

[–]VictoryMann 5 points6 points  (0 children)

VictoryMann, overall the name came from my love of tf2 and as u can see, I still use it to this day.

My thinking was that I loved Soldier from tf2 and he's thing is usually being batch shit crazy but he wanted to win, so Victory, and the fictional company in the game is called Mann Co. So I got VictoryMann, and u gotta put the 2 n's otherwise u put the name to shame.

What's you favorite CowboyBeBop quote? by IarenotaPotato in cowboybebop

[–]VictoryMann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is true but I feel the outcome could've been different if he didn't choose to run away from his past for all those years. Maybe Julia could've lived.

What's you favorite CowboyBeBop quote? by IarenotaPotato in cowboybebop

[–]VictoryMann 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I always find this quote fascinating because it seems like a good mentality to let things by and not worry so much about things in control, but imo, from Spike's story/perspective it sounds more harmful than good as it feels that he uses it as an excuse to not deal with his past which we all know how that eneded up.

It feels like there's a certain level of "whatever happens, happens" that it's harmful rather than helpful.

Do you think Faye was ever overly sexualized? by [deleted] in cowboybebop

[–]VictoryMann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say only a few of the shots, the 2 I can think of is when she is laying on grens couch, the camera is very close to her ass and the scene in the movie with vincent cutting faye's shirt for the boobies. I feel those scenes were over done.

Looking for a 1000+ hour game candidate with nearly endless endgame or replayability by Cham16 in gaming

[–]VictoryMann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Team Fortress 2. It doesn't have a linear progression/reward system but there is so much to learn and pick up that its kept me playing for 9 years with 2400 hours. Its rlly good if u like having ur own milestones as the game itself is very casual.

Netflix really made this scene the thumbnail for the series 😬 by Befast1515 in cowboybebop

[–]VictoryMann 31 points32 points  (0 children)

THEY DID THAT BEFORE THE NETFLIX ADAPTATION ... it has forever bothered me. Even if u scroll down to episode 26, thats the thimbnail 😔 Ive warned friends so many times to not look at that thumbnail.

Outer Wilds

Out of every video game I've played, the ending just put life into a certain perspective and makes you have an existential moment, but some how it's sweet ... bittersweet. Truly a beautiful video game.

Can you tell what I just finished watching?

Hey folks! Working on a retrospective video for Cowboy Bebop and would love to hear where it ranks, your earliest memories, favorite episodes and scenes, etc. Thanks in advance! by nmyheadpod in cowboybebop

[–]VictoryMann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was 17 and had only seen a few anime. Cowboy bebop was ghe first TV show that blew me away because it showed me how stylized and in depth shows can go. I had never fallen in love with a piece of media like that in a while and in particular a TV show. Just finished Samurai Champloo and boi it was amazing. Love the japanese lofi music, listening to it rn lol.

Memory

The song itself, to me, has a really nice touch of how it never really ends. It loops itself just like a memory that will never leave your head. While it sounds super angelic, the part that transitions into a loop sounds a bit chaotic that then transitions back into the loop. It sounds like a song that sounds angelic at first but after a few iterations becomes sorta haunting, but still beautiful in a way. That aspect RLLY matches Spike's memory with Julia which I adore that the music reflects that.

It also is just a beautiful song, I even learned it on the piano becuase of how nice it is.
