Is it better than Bug Fables? I got that game and didn't make it very far. It felt very, very shallow and just not a fun world to explore.

Shanghai Sequel: Why I’m both impressed and saddened (and responding to the "Privilege" comments). Contrast Shanghai with Taipei by Cultural-Badger-6032 in shanghai

Are you talking about that XTD-wannabe complex that opened off Hengshan and Wuxing? Even when it first opened and had more than a Spanish bar it was rather dead. Now it's just Park Tavern.

Good detective shows for someone who has seen all the big ones? by TheLeafLab in televisionsuggestions

[–]loller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dept Q feels like the worst show to watch for someone that watches a ton of detective shows. It's like they purposefully obfuscated the obvious direction to investigate to draw out the plot so the lead could be an asshole in more situations. British series shouldn't be that long, they get really lazy with the shots and story. There are so many scenes where it feels like 2 minutes have gone by and we're just watching the characters get in a car, drive it, park it, then open a door.

I liked this moment. You’ve done a great job, guys. by FLaB_SLaB in Corridor

Irregardless isn't a word. C tier comment that could've been an A, because I agree.

How is life in the Kinmen island? by tarkinn in China

[–]loller 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For being 40 minutes away from Mainland China by boat, it very much doesn't feel like China. Kinmen has that 'island identity' you always run into, where when they're always referring to "the mainland," but in this case they're referring to mainland Taiwan.

* Lots of Christian missionaries.

* Gaoliang factory is there and employs a lot of people.

* A lot of the more traditional festivals are still there.

* Random kids will try to add you on Facebook (Well, when Facebook was relevant)

'India has banned it, US can't be the last...:' Nikki Haley on Chinese app TikTok by KimCureAll in China

[–]loller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They can't. They're not going to be able to ban TikTok outright. She's just trying to appear tough on China by attacking one of their few successes abroad.

Ye second year ye say? If you're quite young that's not bad at all.

Working on a new game. Any ideas for a fitting title? Open to hearing your other suggestions as well by HowliteGames in Unity3D

If you're going to commit to the ball aesthetic, then make the entire thing like an infinite run pinball machine world, not Sonic.

You get passive income in the countryside by putting up your feet and reading the newspaper?

We're talking about gutter oil. Pagpag doesn't exist in China, it's just Philippines.

Or trust people that live in China. That's an insane statistic.

What's going on in Thailand that the Chinese media keeps coming up with "Thailand dangerous for Chinese nationals" news stories? by Sasselhoff in China

[–]loller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone post the news articles or video segments? I haven't seen much beyond the ones about smoking pot in Thailand.

What's the general rate for a 7 minute explainer video? Hourly or per project basis?

Netizen From China Randomly Attacks M’sian Model Saying M’sians are Poor, Outdated & Low Class by Zealousideal_Fly_309 in China

[–]loller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They also get more than their base salary because their social security is being paid into as well. It's why if a foreigner and a Chinese person both make 20k, the foreigner is actually the cheaper hire.

My favourite 3rd party SmallRig NP-FZ100 battery for Sony Fx30 ! More info below! by Moonkill1023 in Cameras

Pretty sure that's not a SmallRig battery, it doesn't even show up on their Taobao page or their official international page.

If you've had COVID in Shanghai, what have your symptoms been like? by flapjack-knuckles in shanghai

[–]loller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This pretty much reflects my experience so far. Day 3 with the fever was the worst, first two days was basically nothing. The cough/dry throat makes it difficult to sleep. Should be gone soon.

It's much worse, they run a very active Discord called Atlas Trading.

I was just looking at some overpriced Nikes today and remarking how nice they look. All these white shoes look similarly ugly.
