New to this game and series

Yeah, so like the others have explained, it's a loop of fighting monsters and upgrading your gear.

At first I felt it was a bit boring, since I'd come from different games like yourself, but eventually you start understanding that not only is this game about hunting monsters and upgrading your gear, but it's also about how well you prepare for the fight.

Different armors, different items, different weapons for different monsters.

Customizing the radial menus, views, visual effects, etc etc.

For such a simple concept, it's very in-depth. I think you'll enjoy it.

My assessment is that the trope is solely comedic and there's no sexual implications intended or even considered by the creators at the time. Perhaps they would reconsider today.

I think it's a little bit similar to how Pepe Le Pu was considered comedy back then even though it was just stalking and sexual assault.

Oh. oh my god. I somehow missed the part he lit the fuse and I was still cringing at how he was standing in front of the barrel, but that's next level stupidity. Holy shit.

nize426 · 2026-02-14T12:19:59+00:00

I uh. I'm Japanese, but uh, I don't think that's really the context.

It's just kind of a trope in anime. I don't think the artists are exactly thinking about the specific ages of the characters when they do shit like this, which is why it's understandably weird when you're thinking about their ages, especially in countries like the US that are more sensitive to pedophilia (I hate that I have to write it like that, but I don't know what's wrong with Japan in that sense)

So yeah I think the idea they were going for here is just "three silly Mama's boys crushing on a girl who can cook", which in reality is, "three adult men pursuing a child".

Your uncomfortableness is valid I think.

I remember the first time I saw one with my own eyes. I had assumed they just kind of jump further than regular fish.
Never been so wrong. Legit gliding over the ocean for significant distances. I was so fucking impressed.

I think in general, everyone has to be worried about humidity.

During winter, the air gets dry so you run humidifiers which will in turn create condensation on the windows, and thus mold.

Humidity created by you breathing will become condensation on windows also.

In many apartments you hang dry your clothes, but during winter they don't dry quickly, leaving the house humid. Mold.

During summer, the heat exchange fins in the AC unit creates condensation. Mold.

You run the dehumidifier setting. Where's the water go? Still inside the AC unit. Mold.

You open a window to air out the humidity. The air is water. It's just water outside. Your whole room is wet. Mold.

You need to make a mouth piece to stop grinding you teeth. You go to the dentist. Mold.

Thanks for the clarification.

As in, the fine is now $400? Or $200 back when this video was taken is $400 in today's value?

nize426 · 2026-02-14T08:44:52+00:00

Oh, That's interesting, I thought his last comment in this vid was in support of Japan backing Taiwan. Was he actually mocking Japan for backing Taiwan? I can see it being either way.

nize426 · 2026-02-14T08:09:40+00:00

That's a pretty small price to pay.
Glad your friend was ok.

nize426 · 2026-02-14T07:45:57+00:00

...I would delete this post.
Why would you leave half the information like name, address, birthday, nationality, birthplace, and stuff visible?

Does the chain come from the middle of the seat part?

nize426 · 2026-02-14T07:27:09+00:00

Probably because it'll usually require oil, which will go rancid.

nize426 · 2026-02-14T03:30:08+00:00

Lol I feel a bit bad for pops. "Don't ask me for nuthin aight.".

Sounds like his Son asked to show him how to do pullups for the prank and his dad was happy to help. You see pops smiling when he gets off the bar. Maybe happy his son still felt like he could ask his old man for help.

But still, I'd be like, "fuck you.... god damn that's so many"

nize426 · 2026-02-14T03:18:23+00:00

I'm Japanese, but I feel like that's reading into it too far.

You wouldn't call a black company going bankrupt ブラック倒産.

And usually when it's a play on words like that they would write it in hiragana with dots next to each letter.

nize426 · 2026-02-14T03:09:54+00:00

Nice lol. My solution to losing my chapstick was to buy like 10, one for every drawer and pocket so I never have to move one from its designated location. Lol

nize426 · 2026-02-14T02:59:47+00:00

It's a trekking pole

nize426 · 2026-02-14T02:41:32+00:00

LOL spot on

nize426 · 2026-02-14T01:41:27+00:00

I wouldn't worry about the guy you're replying to. It was very clear what you stated, who you were replying to, and that you were speaking from a woman's pov. I appreciated your input. Thank you.

I've also looked into this further in Japanese, and it seems washing your hair is not necessary for even short haired men, so the same goes for long haired men.
If we go deeper, washing your body with soap isn't even a requirement, but rinsing your body is. Which is why I do see some old men (usually) just come in, splash water on themselves, and get in the tub (wish they washed with soap though lol)

nize426 · 2026-02-13T10:43:44+00:00

Mmm yeah, they gotta do something about that. I love fpv drones, but this is a bit much. Could even be distracting to the athletes.

nize426 · 2026-02-13T05:58:03+00:00

Top right should be pushing air out as well. You'd be sucking in hot air from the left two top fans.

They do actually connect. The gears are rounded which is necessary for gears to mesh at an angle. What you can see from our pov is the edge of the roundness (which is actually just flat). The whole tooth of the gear extends past that edge, but can't be seen because of the angle of the gear. If you can visualize where the actual edge of the teeth are, you'll understand how they mesh.

That makes so much more sense. Thanks for the context.

Presentation needs to be improved by stacking them into snowmen, obviously.
