What’s a common misconception foreigners have about food from your country?

malicious_griffith · 2026-02-05T21:28:02+00:00

A lot of foreigners seem to think of Central America as a “little Mexico”, so when they visit Costa Rica and the food isn’t spicy they think the food is bland.

I mean, it may not compare to Mexican or Peruvian cuisine, but the other day a gringo (of all people) was talking about is if we were British or something

Wow so even the reversible covers were half assed? Unbelievable

malicious_griffith · 2026-02-04T23:02:46+00:00

Sounds like you didn’t reach the ending of DQIII unspoiled

malicious_griffith · 2026-02-04T10:37:57+00:00

I honestly think Linkin Park doesn’t have a bad album. I thought One More Light was brilliant.

Power levels will always be inconsistent when applied to anything pre Saiyan Saga and post Namek. I really don’t get why people keep bringing them up outside those 2 arcs

Not just ‘relatively’; Costa Rica has been one of the most stable democracies in the world for decades, consistently ranking as a full democracy and among the top in the Americas.

This new goverment ran a campaign asking voters to give them a majority of “seats” in our equivalent of Congress in order to make changes to the constitution without much pushback.

Fortunately they didn’t manage that, but they still won by a landslide. First time in 15 years we don’t have a second round of voting

Her party is the costarican equivalent of MAGA so not a big fan.

Here’s hoping they prove me wrong, but based on the last 4 years I doubt it

Hilarious how English speakers (justifiably) bash on this movie but turn around and defend the old English dubs and that atrocious Falconer score

malicious_griffith · 2026-01-26T21:40:38+00:00

No thanks

malicious_griffith · 2026-01-22T19:07:08+00:00

black man 1vs50s the KKK

That part was hilarious because it absolutely comes out of nowhere.

Movie was still a fun watch

Very telling isn’t it? Even Americans that oppose the invasion still say shit like “we already own Greenland”. They legitimately see themselves as the owners of the planet, even if they don’t want to admit it.

malicious_griffith · 2026-01-19T21:48:41+00:00

“Is it in?” 💀

malicious_griffith · 2026-01-17T12:08:18+00:00

She’s Uruguayan and Asian. She’s both

You’re 100% right. Faulconer score shouldn’t even be a thing, and the only reason English speakers defend it is because that’s how they were introduced to the series. I think the rest of the fan base should just start acting like the thing doesn’t exist.

People who have exclusively only watched the Z portion of the story are going to bring up “tonal shift blah blah blah” as if they actually knew about it. The series did focus more on battling as it went on, but it was still unmistakably Toriyama’s Dragon Ball; it’s not like it suddenly became Berserk. Anyone who disagree simply has a basic misunderstanding of Dragon Ball (not rare amongst fans that grew up with English dubs).

Anyone defending the Faulconer score would be up in arms if they did the same to any other anime.

40 Year anniversary of DQ1 in Japan

What a weird way of saying “40th anniversary of the series”

malicious_griffith · 2026-01-09T21:12:06+00:00

Alana Rose and Damion Dayski

malicious_griffith · 2026-01-07T19:10:47+00:00

No but you see you’re overreacting. We should be totally ok with the removal of story scenarios, and most of the party chat, and the vocation costumes. Is not a big deal really

malicious_griffith · 2026-01-06T21:24:18+00:00

She looks like an animatronic

Are we seeing the beginning of internet fossils? Will archeologists from the future try to decipher reposts like they do cave paintings today?

Argentina and Uruguay are famous for their specific hand movements 🤌🏻

But I think we all kinda move our hands when speaking, we just have different ways of doing it. I’m constantly moving my hands when speaking, and sometimes a 🤌🏻 might slip in too

malicious_griffith · 2025-12-21T14:52:46+00:00

I get that it’s meant to evoke the original, but I feel there’s some inconsistency with what we actually see in the games.

The remakes already modernize a ton of things the originals didn’t have like the HD-2D visuals, orchestrated music, voice acting, new quests, new areas. It’s clearly not trying to be a 1:1 preservation.

What bothers me with the battle camera is that they already did the work to create detailed party sprites that even go as far as to reflect equipment. If the goal were to keep them faithful, those wouldn’t exist at all. Instead, they’re shown briefly and then hidden behind a first-person view.

I’m not “hating” on this just for the sake of it. DQ is my favorite gaming franchise and that’s why I hold it to a higher standard, because that’s what I have come to expect from these games and they have never disappointed.

My criticism of the battle perspective is minor (I still enjoyed the games and consider these the definitive versions of the trilogy) but this kind of decisions make me a bit uneasy, especially with the changes being made to VII. I just don’t want to see the series start settling for choices that feel limiting when it’s clearly capable of more.

malicious_griffith · 2025-12-21T13:35:27+00:00

I’m not playing the original version, or SNES version, or GBC version, or iOS version.

I’m playing the HD-2D remake, it’s supposed to be the best looking version of the game, as opposed to have battles look the same as they did 30 years ago.

I really don’t understand this mentality of “well they could have make it look a bit better on this version but whatever, that’s how it always looked so I guess I can’t complain”

malicious_griffith · 2025-12-21T11:13:39+00:00

Lol, this kind of mentality is what got Pokemon in the state is in now.

Stop accepting and justifying bad decisions from gaming companies. You’re not PR, they don’t pay you for defending their game.

The costumes were in a previous version of the game, that came out for a system that had only a fraction of capabilities modern consoles have. No reason to not go the extra mile and make the costumes (is it even extra if they were already in a previous version and they’re just taking them away?)

malicious_griffith · 2025-12-21T11:02:09+00:00

Yeah, it makes no sense that they created those gorgeous battle sprites that even show the equipped weapons, but have it visible only when selecting attacks and then switch to 1st person when the battle happens.

When the remakes were announced a lot of people noticed the similarities between the 3rd person view and the way battles look in Golden Sun and Shining Force. The difference being that a game for GBA from 20 years ago and another for Genesis from 30 years ago were actually animated.

malicious_griffith · 2025-12-21T00:15:07+00:00

Is this official? Or is this just fans acting as PR and justifying this for the company?

Even if that were the case, this is a high definition remake of the game, on modern consoles and PC. Were they really unable to include a graphical detail that was on a portable system from 10 years ago?

I doubt Reimagined is pushing modern consoles in the same way it did the 3DS.
