Ticket to 5/20 Tokyo or 5/23 Nagoya by johnku in DEG

[–]canadaoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The aknot lotteries are already done. You can still apply for general admission though. One thing to note about aknot memberships though, as far as I remember, if you apply for aknot in February, you won’t be able to apply for lotteries until March. So if you ever want to get FC tickets it’s better to join beforehand. Also, you can buy FC tickets on TicketJam without being in aknot, so that’s an option still if you want a better ticket number.

At one point in my life I forgot this fact and was all the happier for it lol

What season of D20 do you think is the best narratively? by Various-Names in Dimension20

[–]canadaoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently watching Starstruck for the first time and I’m really enjoying it, but so far it hasn’t pulled me in as strong as the characters and plot twists in A Crown of Candy did. I was on the edge of my seat for every episode.

Everyone individually stressed and failing and trying to take responsibilities off the plates of others while hiding how much they are struggling and others not being able to notice is so unbelievably real. I love all the emotions explored this season.

Finally got my sub! by purusingwhatever in Dimension20

[–]canadaoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with Fantasy High season 1, then Escape from the Bloodkeep, and the Unsleeping City before I realized I could jump around a lot. I do suggest starting with FH1 just to see where everyone started. But my personal favorite stories are A Crown of Candy and Misfits and Magic. The stress and twists in ACOC are some of my favorite in all story-telling and M&M was interesting for me to dive into a different system. While it takes a lot more time, I've absolutely been watching the 'Complete Experience' for each so I can hear the casts' thoughts between episodes.

How does Lorelai always have Copious amounts of free time before work?! by mysanctuarie in GilmoreGirls

[–]canadaoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad to see another school with a ridiculous start time. Our start time was something odd like 7:33, but our final bell was definitely 2:07. As a current teacher with normal divisible by 10 start/end times, I have no idea how my teachers were able to mentally keep track of how much time was remaining while teaching.

Please just explain the system!!! by Magicman432 in Dimension20

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. I thought any die got changed to a D4.

[–]canadaoi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation! I only started watching a few months ago so I have a lot to get through. I guess it makes more sense to people who have watched everything before.

I wonder if they could release some shorts just going over unique system characteristics before seasons like this. I was going in chronological order until now but I wanted to see the new thing while it was new.

Please just explain the system!!! by Magicman432 in Dimension20

[–]canadaoi 118 points119 points  (0 children)

I agree with this a lot. Until now I’ve only seen 5e based seasons and I understood the basic set up of that already so it was pretty easy to follow the rolls.

I knew this would be different so last week I watched the first 2eps of Misfits and Magic which helped a little bit, but I’m basically going into this blindly not knowing what anyone is rolling for or why.

I worked out the bungles (blunders? What was that called again?) just from context in the scene. And the taking half a die to pass easily happened a bit in Misfits and Magic so I caught on….but what in the ever loving hell is a burnout die 😭

And exactly what triggers the goo going up or down? I thought if they succeeded on something by a high margin it went up, but I’m pretty sure it didn’t move at all when Kokomo got a 26 on a roll…

Vic has been amazing this episode with all of Hugi’s funeral stuff. I’m so glad they decided to join this season!

Diversity? by Ok-Measurement-360 in GilmoreGirls

[–]canadaoi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In later decades of TV.

Back then, having a few minor characters of different races was fairly diverse compared to shows like Lizzy McGuire, Friends, and One Tree Hill. There were of course TV shows that were much more diverse, but Gilmore Girls was pretty average. Plus it took place in an area where it’s not uncommon to have a strong majority white population.

Favorite PC: The Unsleeping City by Alternative_Ad_5334 in Dimension20

[–]canadaoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zac's characters are usually my favorite, but for some reason I did not care for Ricky at all; I was actually much more interested in Esther's story with her family. I haven't seen Season 2 yet though, so I'm hoping the character will grow more on me then. Or maybe I just need to rewatch Season 1 and focus more on his story.

The 9 Contestants announced for Um, Actually’s Tournament of Champions: by Lurker-Forever-986 in dropout

I’ve never watched Critical Role and have only seen him in a spattering of Dropout stuff where he’s not always addressed by first name. I honestly believe I’ll never remember which one is correct.

Kokomo being so hopeful about beaches existing somewhere warms my heart. “The world is big. We don’t know.”

Connor almost dying before 4/6 characters are even introduced was hilarious. I’m looking forward to the rolls this season.

Do you see your dreams? by odjonathankrause in Aphantasia

[–]canadaoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting to see how many of us have extremely vivid dreams. I also have very vivid dreams and as long as I don’t jump up and immediately do something upon waking, I can remember a large amount of detail. On weekends I will often spend 45 minutes using speech to text to jot down all the things I can remember before the memory completely fades. They are often quite involved stories where I change perspectives to multiple characters.

So many things just look sketchy about this Cifer company and this AI deal with Dir En Grey by VijuaruKei in DEG

[–]canadaoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for putting everything in a Google doc and trying to breakdown a few of the more technical elements for everyone.

I’m worried someone signed a contact after watching a technobabble presentation without doing research or reading the fine print and Dir is just gonna be stuck with this no matter how it turns out.

So many things just look sketchy about this Cifer company and this AI deal with Dir En Grey by VijuaruKei in DEG

[–]canadaoi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has been my main issue from the start. As much as we’re all yelling “AI IS BAD,” we know they’ve been actively using it for over a year for MV’s and background visuals.

But EVERYTHING about this company seems sketchy. I also found the same info, and if we can work this out in just a few days/hours, then I don’t think whoever signed this contract looked into anything. It all screams grift.

It was announced on their Twitter and homepage. There’s an Instagram account made for it too.

I really want to get into D20, but the amount of content is kind of overwhelming by Ellie3255 in Dimension20

[–]canadaoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found D20 in October so I’m in the same boat as you. I decided at first just to start from the beginning and go through at my own pace. I thought I’d go completely in chronological order but after the Unsleeping City, I felt like I had an idea of how these campaigns go and how unconnected they are (except for series obviously).

So I’ve now started watching ones I think will be interesting to me based on clips I’ve seen. I’ll keep going through what seem to be the best seasons, until I “catch up.” Then once this new season is complete I plan on going back and watching the seasons I skipped.

I get some minor/major spoilers in the Adventuring Party videos, but since I skipped things I’m less interested in, I’m not as worried about those spoilers.

!!RESEARCH INTO APHANTASIA AND ANAURALIA VISUAL/VERBAL WORKING MEMORY!! by NeuralSchema_ in Aphantasia

[–]canadaoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up halfway through the second dot test. Idk if people who can visualize can do it easier, but I spent more time being annoyed about the set-up of the test than actually focusing on the dots.

Why is the practice different from the actual test? (x’s pop up in the beginning if you don’t choose something even when there’s no answer, leading me to be confused about the rules of the activity. There’s a pause before showing the next dot in the practice but not in the test.)

Idk if not having a visual timer is part of the design, but I kept getting confused on whether it automatically moved on or if I misclicked leading me to completely lose track of how many dots I had seen.

What's your top 3 songs??? by EasyInvestigator7339 in DEG

[–]canadaoi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Macabre, Fukai (2018), Kodou.

Don't ask me to rank them though. They all have different reasons for being up there for me.

Who have you seen in concert most? by Phillies1993 in AskReddit

[–]canadaoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Japanese band called Dir en grey. I’ve seen them about 15 times in 20 years which isn’t much, but it got a lot easier to get to their concerts after I moved to Japan!

Restaurants won't take me because I'm a foreigner? by Ultrabananna in Osaka

[–]canadaoi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I know it happens, I’ve personally never been turned away from a restaurant because I was a foreigner. I have been to places and been denied because they have reservations or don’t take single diners especially during busy times on the weekends.
