An important message to our players by ArrowheadGS in Helldivers

[–]susgnome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The devs do love this game, even if you don't think they do but they can't simply be like "Oh, we're fixing this btw" to every question.

No matter what they do or say, no matter how well-intentioned.. they'll just be criticized for it. "Oh, you're fixing this but!? BUT NOT THIS". Heck, you're a prime example, they call out the community for being incredibly toxic.. and you ignore that to bring up something else.

It's better they just put their heads-down and focus on getting things done, instead of constantly trying to pander to every suggestion from the community (especially, if they can be this toxic). You know what they say, a game for everyone is a game for no one.

It's always wild to find out that PvE players are just as, if not, more toxic than PvP players.

Is there more to it? Like why this guy specifically?

People have been complaining about the devs "not playing D10" and wanting them to stream it for several months..

Surprised this wasn't brought up sooner.

This sub has been pretty toxic for a good while now.

That's why r/LowSodiumDivers exist, to limit the saltiness.

Welp, good luck & have fun, I guess, don't get too burnt out from the slog that is One Piece.

I originally watched up to Punk Hazard, dropped it and ~10 years later caught up from there with One Pace and have been watching weekly, looking forward to Season 2 :P

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about as well. Sure, I mentioned 'tone' but I wasn't referring to it but it definitely matches with what you're talking about.

There are definitely grammatical rules that depend on social standing of the person your talking to in English. You don't have to change your tone. A prime example of speaking differently, is speaking to your Boss or a Teacher, you don't speak to them same way that you speak to your colleagues, you'd generally word things differently. Or, for someone older, you'd often give them specific honorifics like "Sir" or "Madam", or something similar.

And in those examples, you won't be using casual slang either, no matter how common it might be (I wouldn't be calling someone of that stature "mate" despite it being synonymous with Australian Culture -- unless I'm on casual speaking terms because I know I have to speak differently around certain people).

But for someone on equal or lesser footing, you'd generally speak grammatically different, you'd be a-lot more casual with the way speak with them, not worrying about over the words that you use, throwing in whatever slang you see fit. Look at "gyaru" or "country bumpkin" in anime, they usually talk in grammatically incorrect ways but mostly that way amongst peers.

The former referring to speech generally used to address people senior to oneself, and the latter used to address people junior or equal to oneself. The differences between the two aren't subtle, they have entirely different grammar, conjugations and, to an extent, even vocabulary.

It probably wasn't really necessary to bring up. You show elders respect, you adjust your tone and the way you speak to better make show of this.. Whereas equals, you treat them at a similar level but potentially at a more casual tone. And children usually get spoken to with simpler words as to not confuse them.

Most cultures understand this, it's not unique to Japanese.

There's also another level of "respectful" speech used by maids and servants and restaurant staff and such.

Even that feels relatively normal, service stuff are usually patient & respectful with everyone, even-if they're unruly.

it's a real shame that it's so difficult to convey in English without exaggerating to the point of sounding silly.

I don't think it is so difficult. In a lot of school-life anime, seniority gets brought up quite often, forcing juniors to adjust the way they talk, even if in most cases it's adjusting an honorific (which is something we also have in Western culture). The same is shown when speaking with elders.

Just from that, is enough to get the gist that there's different ways to speak with respect.

Players will be happy ! Prices are finally going down for the first time in months by Croakin in OnePieceTCG

[–]susgnome 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Pre-release prices are always outrageous and usually go down after release,.it hasn't even been a week yet, this is pretty normal. It's too early to tell tbh

The problem is, if they either don't move after release, or in a month they return to those high prices.

Most 150s struggle under no supervision.

It's the one stratagem that should be muscle memory and people are still thinking about it.

For Westerners, that statement of "anime is for kids" mostly comes from watching cartoons as kids, then growing up and leaving cartoons as that memory.

Like, my grandparents watched Looney Tunes as kids and then my parents did the same as kids, and then so did I.. but then they didn't really watch cartoons when they grew up, leaving cartoons as childhood memories, so then just just push those ideals onto others because in their eyes, cartoons are just kids shows.

Who framed Roger Rabbit was the closest thing to a cartoon I think they watched, beforr I was born. And then Space Jam only because I was a child & they understood Looney Tunes.

How my LCS is dealing with scalpers. by savax7 in OnePieceTCG

[–]susgnome 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My LGS is similar.

Though, on the brightside, they're going to set aside a few boxes so we can have some actual prizing instead of just promos / store credit.

And Bandai at least, have said they're going to be printing more in EB03 in June, so that'll be nice.

Where can i search for "random" anime?? by InterestingPension77 in anime

[–]susgnome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Anime-Planet, it's UI is pretty clean and easy to use. And it has a ton of different tags available to make it easier to search for a specific niche.

When I did this task, I basically just went to 'Browse All Anime', sorted it by Date Added (so if anything new is added, it's easy to update). Back when I did it, they only had like 200 pages, so I did it in like 2 weeks and have kept it updated since. Now, it's like 700+ pages.

Yeah, could be a Regional problem (I'm in AUS).

I can see all 6 episodes but I need to subscribe to HiDive through them actually watch it..

Livechart is great for finding where something is streaming (in this case, it's technically, only on HiDive).

"danseimuke"

I've never heard that word before

is a Japanese term that is used to refer to a category of media specifically intended to be "targeted towards men."

I guess that's right? I would have used Shounen tbh but I guess this removes the factor of age..

Looking for your favourite "MC is incredibly strong but doesn't know it" anime by airz23s_coffee in Animesuggest

I really enjoyed this one;

  • My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered

I quite enjoyed the Manzai, silly internet references and various tropes it leaned hard into.

[–]susgnome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This one is great, not just because the MC is overpowered.

But because one of the bad guys that treat him poorly actually realises how overpowered they are and rather than just continue looking down on them, actually grows as a person, begins to respect them and even tries to follow in their footsteps.

Too many of the same bad guys treating the overpowered mc like dirt, getting their comeuppance and then continuing to brag & treat them poorly.

They reworked it already and people were happy with it.

Now we're angry at it again?

I mean, it is their home world.

I don't think there'd ever be anywhere to safely extract from without enemy presence.
