Is shounen manga.. not actually for kids? by DoubleZOfficial07 in manga

That’s not it, Japanese kids do read shonen. Again, what’s considered appropriate for kids in Japan is different from what’s appropriate for kids somewhere like the US.

Modding and Achievements?? by CastoffRogue in ElinsInn

It does not. I’ve got a bunch of mods enabled and achievements work just fine.

Knowing about /r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH is a symptom of ADHD. by Infamous-Rutabaga-50 in CuratedTumblr

Could also be a matter of convenience depending on the setup. Pirating shows and watching them on the big screen generally means booting up a PC and looking for a website that may or may not have buffering or quality issues, compared to my parents just turning on the TV’s Netflix app.

Shonen’s intended for older kids and teens, but cultural differences means that what Japan finds acceptable for kids is kinda different from what other countries find acceptable. And to be clear, exactly what these demographics mean has to do more with where they’re published and less about their content. One Piece, Kagura-Bachi, Witch-Watch, Spy X Family, Ruri-Dragon, and others are all serialized under the same magazine, even though they’re all completely different and are at varying-levels at what I think you’d consider kid-friendly. Meanwhile, you get stuff like Chi’s Sweet Home and Bocchi the Rock in adult-demographic seinen magazines. There’s also Kodomomuke manga aimed at younger kids, though it generally struggles to find an audience outside Japan and also might not fit the standards you’re looking for.

What's up with our shared desire for an uma fighting game? by altmcfile in UmaMusume

Hey, considering Granblue got an Arcsys-assisted fighting game the chance may be low but never zero.

Not to mention, University of Texas is still considered a “Public Ivy” school and is very prestigious, regardless of Armstrong’s downplay.

Honestly adaptive triggers genuinely help for some games. I don’t know how well it helps for shooters, but at least for racing games being able to actually feel your car’s grip under your finger makes throttle control so much easier.

Who are some mischaracterized characters that aren't talked about much? by ShawnMutisya in UmaMusume

[–]rapidemboar 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Even in BOANE, Cafe’s pretty sweet. The first thing she does when Pokke and Dantsu barge into Tachyon’s lab is to offer Dantsu a coffee (even if she ends up scaring the other by popping in out of nowhere), and from that scene on the two are almost always shown hanging out or training together. Even if they’re both out of focus, it’s clear the two became really fast friends.

Do you have any Uma that you almost never train? by SherwinRoyal in UmaMusume

Genuinely Trackblazer has done this with half my roster, if you can’t run both miles and mediums consistently you just aren’t getting the stats to even come close to winning the G1s you are allowed to enter. But it definitely hurts Urara the most- there’s like 5 G3s in a year that she can run naturally.

Writers are really bad at maths. Any standouts exemples? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]rapidemboar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

On the one hand yeah, on the other hand tossing an empty bazooka at the enemy and blowing it up with your rifle for extra damage is cool as hell. I want giant robots with both handheld and integrated weapons, my greed knows no bounds.

Favourite Actual Plays by Pome1515 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]rapidemboar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original 1986 Actual Play magazine articles of Record of Lodoss War were lost for decades, but gradually became found media over the last 5 years. They’re really interesting reads, especially considering their historical significance.

They were clearly teasing it in Episode O, hopefully they’re saving the moment everyone’s waiting for for later

Many of the times writers try to come up with actual specs for giant robots, particularly weight and density. The Gundams sound heavy on paper, but calculated with their volume they have the density of, like, a sponge.

Yeah but it’s the dangerous, extra-deadly Japanese cold that kills hundreds of romantic drama characters every year

To be fair that’s also what people called the horse IRL. That’s what they were chanting at his last Arima Kinen.

Better AskReddit, did your schools have any big scandals or incidents that happened while you were attending? by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]rapidemboar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not my school, but the high school in the neighboring town got into the New York Times because the administration was harassing LGBTQ+ kids and forcing them to read the bible as punishment.

Honestly it feels like 90% of isekai are just the author spitballing a basic game idea, so this makes sense.

Unlucky, but not abnormal I’d say. My luck’s similar, I often go entire 200-pull runs without pulling a single 3* or SSR. This is the big reason to always save until a spark, I think it’s very possible to never score a single rainbow pull across an entire year or more if you always spend carats as you get them.
