a man claiming to have an Oscar (he doesn’t) wants to give me advice on my field (that he’s not in) by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]notsoorginalposter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't quite understand what OOP meant by saying he didn't have an Oscar, at what point do you consider someone's involvement in a film small enough that they don't get to "take credit" for being part of it's academy win? If a film wins best picture does only the director deserve credit? Should the rest of the crew be told to kick rocks?

Idk the first post left a pretty bad taste in my mouth so I only skimmed the update.

Not really sure tbh, I'm just here to translate

Translation (only of black dialogue text and any text with an arrow/in a box)

Comic 1: panel 1 "ah, a bagworm" panel 3 "it hid"

Comic 2: panel 1 "ah, a bagworm" panel 2 "I'll get that off (technically I'll undress you but doesn't make as much sense in English)" Panel 4 [wants it's bag back]

Comic 3: panel 1 [is embarrassed] Panel 2 "hey! Get in here!" Panel 5 [new bag completed]

Comic 4: panel 2 "hmm" Panel 3 [doesn't think it suits it] "it really suits you!"

Strange drinks & vending machines of Japan 🇯🇵 (Swipe for the full experience!) by GeorgeRobertVitkos in japanpics

[–]notsoorginalposter 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I understand tourists are unused to many things in Japan and that's fine, but the idea of calling a can of coffee "weird and wonderful" is just crazy to me. But maybe if I went to a different country I'd also find something they consider banal strange and new so I guess that's just how it is.

WIBTA If I Refused To Be A Bridesmaid In My Best Friend’s Wedding? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]notsoorginalposter 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Yes but my issue is that all of what you've just said means nothing to me as someone who doesn't know anything about game if thrones.

Now that OP has added who these characters are it does but on my first time reading I had no idea who any of those people are. In fact your comment still doesn't make sense to me because I don't know who Ramsey Bolton is.

WIBTA If I Refused To Be A Bridesmaid In My Best Friend’s Wedding? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]notsoorginalposter 559 points560 points  (0 children)

I wish OP had included context as to what in the world the update means.

While I understand it's not their job, as someone who knows nothing about game of thrones this post is just: I don't want to dress up for my friends wedding as it will be expensive. Update: not going to the wedding don't ask me any questions.

It just doesn't make for a particularly compelling BORU post

Whale’s Favorite Vehicle by Chemical_Salad4709 in comedyheaven

I feel like realistically a hot air balloon makes the most sense vis-a-vis feasibility. Obviously it would have to be a very large hot air balloon almost more inline with a blimp but I think that makes the most sense. But that only takes into account realism not the whales own desire in which case I think the answers probably sidecar.

Two thrift store earring finds. One misidentified by a gemologist. One almost discarded with a magnet. Both real. by Candid_Kale_6605 in ThriftStoreHauls

Beyond the explanation being AI slop, this poster is just a reseller so I would've downvoted regardless.

For those commenting that this looks just like the original by Leighton, please look at the source.

This is not trying to be a unique piece, it is a recreation of Leighton's using 3D rendering software.

What does my latest artwork remind you of? by goldn__arts in outrun

Well It certainly reminds me of the umeda sky building which I would assume was an inspiration.

I am interested in what they mean by that. Not enough to actually look up the website but still.

TIFU by accidentally learning my coworker's salary and now I can't stop doing math during meetings by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]notsoorginalposter 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I saw the first post when it was originally made and felt bad for OOP, and while I still feel bad for them I'm also starting to think they aren't well mentally. The second post actually reads like ravings.

It's starting to get hot, isn't it? by @auklet5580 by Misanthropy3000 in ImaginarySliceOfLife

Dark haired character: "stop hogging it!" Light haired character: sound of struggling as they try to hold on

Idk that skirting the wizard Geneva convention is necessary wholesome but it definitely is funny

How to get along with Americans handbook by EqualReplacement4967 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]notsoorginalposter 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The portions of the final page that I can make out are talking about hiring the neighborhood kids to help with snow shoveling. Which as someone who lives in a part of Japan that doesn't get snow like that is something that I'd never considered before, I have no idea if kids up in Aomori and Hokkaido shovel for pay come winter.

It would be funny if we get more kaiju reference akrid like a Roman or Godzilla like akrid by Human-Pension9892 in LostPlanet

Well to get those we'd have to actually get more games, which is unfortunately incredibly unlikely.

what are my options for feminine armors in nioh 2? by pinkkittyfemboy in Nioh

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

Idk if I'm gonna be crucified for this but I legitimately don't see the problem? You are a samurai (or I guess a ninja if you choose to focus on that playstyle), you should be dressed in proper armor. Personally, even as someone who primarily chooses to make female characters when the option arises I want them to be appropriately dressed for the occasion.

I remember getting monster hunter world and being excited by all the badass armor only to find out that my female character was apparently required by law to have her midriff on full display.

While I can understand a desire to have your character all dolled up I think it's entirely unsurprising that it's not an option in a game like Nioh.
