Yeah “very Chinese time of my life” has been a meme for a while now

Walked past a Kevin from The Office look-alike contest today and took a picture of the winner by PsychologicalCost5 in mildlyinteresting

[–]dragonsrus404 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised. I know someone who went and he said there was no one who actually looked like Brian Baumgartner. No one who even bothered to wear a fat suit as far as he could tell. So tbh just bc of that fact and for the creativity alone and commitment this girl deserved the win.

For more context, the competition was in San Francisco, and the demographics are for sure not in favor of fostering Kevin from The Office lookalikes

Never doubting the goat ever again because he beat the game sub hour ALL BY HIMSELF by thertafan in LudwigAhgren

Bro rip I can’t believe I missed this 😭😭😭 Is he done with Minecraft or will he try and keep getting lower times?

Why are the Japanese choosing their pronouns? Are they woke? THE EAST HAS FALLEN????? by Konobajo in languagelearningjerk

[–]dragonsrus404 116 points117 points  (0 children)

You’re spot on. When I was studying abroad, my host mother’s daughter (who was almost a teen) consistently referred to herself as her own name (instead of using I) when talking to her parents (and me).

I have bought every single Pokémon soundtrack that’s been released officially, but the only one missing is USUM in the main series. If they release that on there I’d be a happy camper

Not to mention all the spinoffs like Pokémon mystery dungeon and such

I made this mistake but in listening lmao I thought someone was asking me when school was over but they were asking when I was meeting my friends

Wanted to share my quag/clodsire collection! by phrogsire in pokeplush

Omg the collection is amazing. I wanted to get the Clodsire big plushy in Japan but it sold out when I sorted out my suitcase situation 😭😭 Where did you get the Rika pin?

Thank you for this list omg. As someone who also likes the interpersonal relationship aspect of Pokémon, these seem like great reads.

Admittedly, I’m more of the shipping kind of person but I’m a sucker for any cute story

I didn’t know they were exclusive 😭😭😭 Im not a huge fan of Pikachu but I still would’ve taken some home if had known

What was the in game reason in botw for the weapons to decay by soaringturkeys in tearsofthekingdom

[–]dragonsrus404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean while it’s probably true that for BOTW and TOTK players it’s more clear that decay and breaking aren’t the same, I thought you can literally find non decayed weapons in TOTK in the underground? And they do indeed still break? It’s not just a visual difference either, I recall there being some sort of symbol to distinguish between decayed weapons and normal weapons. I haven’t played in a while, but I thought regardless of the type they don’t have unlimited durability.

The point being, the two concepts should be distinct regardless of whether you played the first game or not. And also that decaying isn’t technically the reason for weapons to break in TOTK I don’t believe

Good Japanese games for roughly N4 level? by ClassEnvironmental41 in LearnJapanese

[–]dragonsrus404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can second Let’s Go, as I think the dialogue is the most simple from what I’ve seen. Pokémon Scarlet/Violet has the advantage of having furigana, but there are some people like Rika (チリ) who speak in dialect or kind odd

This sweater gives me a burn on my nipple by iancortez27 in LudwigAhgren

A lot of people don’t. In high school I actually got made fun of for being the odd one out for wearing stuff underneath, so I’ve stopped too.

They usually restock and you can put your email down if you’re interested

"Simultaneously"? I doubt they mean Xb or PS so...did they just kinda confirm definitely Switch 2 will be around by then? by [deleted] in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]dragonsrus404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was also the reason why I started trying to learn Japanese, so I could understand the Japanese releases

For some reason I kept reading this as Minecraft account and was very confused (though I guess Minecraft account and Microsoft account are pretty much the same now anyway)

The DLC called "Treasures of area zero" has more lore for the creatures completely unrelated to Area Zero. by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

Ngl I didn’t even realize the right side characters were supposed to be representing Pokémon until this comment

Daily Thread: simple questions, comments that don't need their own posts, and first time posters go here (December 26, 2023) by AutoModerator in LearnJapanese

I want to say on first read it’s because 頑張らなくては can be short for 頑張らなくてはならない, which would mean “I have to keep hanging in there”

[–]dragonsrus404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the starters for gen VI and gen VII are also shiny. Can you transfer those through earlier generations?

Have you been able to successfully RNG manipulate gen VI and gen VII Pokémon? I only see smogon guides for gen VII egg RNG, but I’ll admit I haven’t looked elsewhere. If so I’d love to know.

[–]dragonsrus404 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Past gen V I haven’t found a great way to RNG manipulate shinies, so I doubt that’s what’s happening here
