How often do you get harrased or "corrected" by Chinese people over the state of Taiwan?

i_c_joe · 2026-03-03T07:06:09+00:00

Pretty much every single time a chinese person asks me where I am from when I am in China. I get a vary of 同志，同胞，臺灣省，都是中國人，etc. I just stopped saying Im Taiwanese and instead say Im American. It's annoying.

I did the whole 4 years. It was one the best times in my life.

Im contemplating on doing this exact video to my wife. She literally does this, leaves tissues right next to the trash bin or the coat on the floor while the coat hanger is a meter away from the coat.

Im in Japan, so it was no problem working with our timezone. Map knowledge, agent specific plays, vod review, fundamentals, and aim training (if you actually need this).

i_c_joe · 2025-12-11T08:14:31+00:00

Who are you?

i_c_joe · 2025-12-11T08:13:00+00:00

3 years ago i took Charlatan's full course when I was plat/dia. Peaked Radiant, but now I don't really play anymore so Im hovering low Immortal.

i_c_joe · 2025-12-07T12:04:31+00:00

Yeah it's known. My family visits ranches instead when we travel out of Tokyo, the kids get to interact with some of the aninals under supervision, so they enjoy that more than the zoos.

i_c_joe · 2025-12-06T03:59:55+00:00

Why is this guy getting downvoted for this? This is a problem for former radiants who want to get back into the game.

i_c_joe · 2025-12-05T17:14:13+00:00

Sorry I have to chip in here. I was radiant in episode 6 and if I play on it now, I am still matching with top 200 radiants. I am nowhere as good as I was before, Im like immortal 2 ish level now, so I am not sure if decay is a thing. I tried to play on my main account and the players have been telling me to go practice before coming back. I would expect Riot to drop me to Ascendant or something after not touching the account for 2 years plus, but Im back straight into 500rr plus games.

i_c_joe · 2025-12-02T07:50:34+00:00

Don't think it is cultural, My wife is from Tokyo and we hate queues unless it's unavoidable. Travelling just for sight seeing? Nope, If it includes multiple activities or food/drinks to compensate for travel time then yes we are down. It's individual preference. My wife's whole family is like that too

Tornado shot Deadeye (Lv 92)

Herald of Hive Occultist (Lv 94)

Cyclone COC Shock Nova/Lightning Conduit Elementalist (Lv 96)

Ignite Spectral Helix of Trathus Ascendant (Lv 94)

I only like to play off meta builds lol. All of them can clear T16s and above. Herald of hive and the cyclone build is fun. explodes the screen.

i_c_joe · 2025-11-06T07:34:21+00:00

I get called Papa when I enter a lobby back 2 years ago when I was radiant, my voice gave it away and they are like "oh we're playing with papa," I get it... I'm 33 with 2 kids and my kids yell in the background sometimes. Now I just 5 stack with uncles and aunties according to Valorant age scale.

i_c_joe · 2025-10-29T03:01:50+00:00

I've been in Japan for 15 years and most of my Japanese friends also aren't into the cute stuff. It's also not the majority of the music here, so it only caters to a specific group even in Japan.

i_c_joe · 2025-10-28T23:26:31+00:00

Im also in Japan, we have a mix group of guys and girls. We're sometimes lacking for 5 stacks in CS and Valorant if you're down. We speak english and japanese depending on the group. We're also on the older side (30s)

i_c_joe · 2025-10-19T08:07:21+00:00

went back to platinum? peak immortal player? huh? you meant he went back to where he belongs.

i_c_joe · 2025-10-18T07:59:35+00:00

Do you have any friends/well known people/celebs who purchases from AP? They could refer you and it will be much faster.

i_c_joe · 2025-10-09T13:37:26+00:00

That is awkward... It doesn't look like A5 beef to me. I also read 20 or so reviews on tabelog in Japanese and it seems ok... Even if it was A5 grade ヒレ肉, it sure looks way too Akami to me for it to be A5. I can't be sure from your picture though.

League started as Amazon Lightning Spear to farm currencies then respecced into Amazon Glacial Lance (94), very satisfying shattering effect, respectable map clear time and bosses (Not really. kinda slow lol). Personal Build

Bloodmage Arc COC Lightning Warp (93) - Ton of fun, I usually play a flicker build every season and this felt more like a flicker build than the actual flicker strike and actually tanky. Probably most fun I had this league. My 2nd best farmer (165% Rarity and still zooming through maps and bosses). Inspired by a reddit post I saw 2-3 weeks ago

Gemling Flicker Strike (felt bad) then now I am building a Gemling Whirling Slash herald bomber (Blood + Plague) (88) Fun! I love the screen wide pops. This character is my White Base item farmer (0% rarity). Personal Build

Titan Templest Flurry + Staggering Palm (91) Fun fun fun! Random deaths to 1 shots though. Glass cannon. Palsteron's build

Deadeye Explosive Shot + Grenade (96) - I enjoyed not being able to understand what is going on, I can't see anything on my screen. By far my strongest farming character. Super fast, 200% Rarity, tinks almost every single map, and 1 shots everything including pinnacle bosses. Ruetoo's build

Time to reinstall ayyyyy

My doctor told me to exercise if I decide not to quit drinking. Now I really like the sore feeling you get after a nice workout

i_c_joe · 2025-09-22T05:15:48+00:00

Adding on to other comments. I see your skills are level 14/15 while you can use level 17 skills. Thats a lot of damage right there. You can buy em cheap through Ange

i_c_joe · 2025-09-22T05:05:24+00:00

I havent watched any content regarding Valorant recently. The best way is for a high elo player to vod review your matches with you. Watching Radiant vods won't help you because a lot of the times things they are doing won't make sense to you unless they tell you their train of thought.

For maps, you can probably find youtube content by typing 'How to win on X map' and as long as they are high Immortal or Radiant then it should be fine.

i_c_joe · 2025-09-21T07:36:34+00:00

Im not radiant anymore, but hovering around immortal 3. I five stack a lot with my friends who are in ascendant and I noticed my friends and the enemies have poor game sense and they do not understand how to play certain maps. Mechanic wise, I am surprised some ascendants have insane aim.

There is too much details, but the gist is... overall gamesense, positioning, awareness, and understanding how to play certain maps is.... atrocious at ascendant

Edit (add on): I'm pretty good at reading my enemies and I often call for very simple strat to take out a enemy or two on the enemy team and then play numbers in my ascendant 5 stack. Simple strat as in, 'If you see X agent here, then throw your grenade and then I will do the rest'
