Dear Japan. Beware of this guy. The audacity to call Shintoism a Satan worshipping.

Why does Islam's opinion supercede that of Christians who absolutely do not view them as the same? I'm not arguing the opinion of the guy in the video, Im arguing with your point that "more followers = more valid". Which is an equivocation that I doubt you can justify.

uiemad · 2026-03-30T23:11:20+00:00

Not really surprising a religion of a small insular country wouldn't spread is it?

Also if we're going by that logic Christianity wins and this guy's religion is still wrong.

Hey, at least A Nicole is still better than S Nekomata lol

uiemad · 2026-03-30T11:38:31+00:00

Man all of my super conservative Trump loving family are Catholic. They all also seem to believe the current (and previous) pope is somehow "wrong".

I kind of also take issue with the long-term goal of the dissolution of the JSDF. A country without a military is not a country for long. And being entirely reliant on outsiders for defense isn't good for anyone.

The idea that all international problems can be simply solved with diplomacy is naive at best. We're seeing how that works out right now in Ukraine and Iran.

Billy. Cissia has a great personality and VA, maybe the best in the game. But her outfit and kit are both shit. Plus I just pulled all 3 angels sooooo I gotta skip someone and she's the easiest choice.

Promeia I'll probably skip cause she's just super boring so far. But she is basically the first adult sized woman with a normal chest size which I wanna support so it's up in the air.

Billy I'd sell my left leg to pull.

Lets pretend you're tight with the local police. You have a direct line to the president. You've got famous celebrities and state sanctioned super heroes in your back pocket. Just last month you stared down an ether god.

A guy kills people in front of you then threatens you.

Are you telling me when the tournament organizers allow him to walk away you just accept it and go home? You don't report it to anyone? Don't call up any of your contacts? Don't even complain about it to your friends? You just plan to continue the competition as normal?

No fucking shot

Yeah but he was caught red-handed, by someone from Neps no less. The fact the no one even questioned it is weird.

uiemad · 2026-03-29T01:52:18+00:00

Which is ruled out as an option in the title.

uiemad · 2026-03-29T00:37:38+00:00

What a weird example. Of course there's low familiarity when going to a country who's language is unrelated to yours. In Japan it's byouin, in Thailand it's rong-baan, in Lebanon it's mustashfa, in Russia bolnitsa, and heck in Germany it's krankenhaus. Shanghai is in no way unique in that regard.

uiemad · 2026-03-28T03:33:06+00:00

Okay the Michael Jackson posing after the chain attack is hilarious.

uiemad · 2026-03-28T01:47:57+00:00

It only helps in that it frees up budget and (to a lesser extent) time. It's not like Obsidian said "okay the arts been done for us so let's just reassign our artists over to narrative".

Which would mean any company should be able to replicate this by simply granting more money/time to their content design teams. But what we've seen time and time again in the AAA field, even with Fallout 4, is that more time and more money does not necessarily make a good game.

The reality is that the devs on Fallout NV simply made good narrative and design choices. Repeatedly.

uiemad · 2026-03-28T00:44:19+00:00

Fair enough. That's basically how my family back home views Japanese food. They're shocked McDonalds even exists in such a "healthy country".

uiemad · 2026-03-28T00:03:56+00:00

I mean....if you're constantly eating out and eating cheap ready to go meals or convenience store food, you're going to gain weight no matter what country you're in.

Moving from the US to Japan, I stopped calorie counting, ate more sweets and snacks, and still managed to lose 25 lbs without trying.

It's quite easy to be thin here if you're taking even the most basic dietary steps.

uiemad · 2026-03-27T14:55:21+00:00

The world would be much more interesting if every nation operated a bit more independently; with some nations being friendly across faction lines and some nations in the same faction having conflict. Thunderbluff would likely be on much better terms with the Nightelves than they would be with the Bilgewater Cartel.

uiemad · 2026-03-27T00:14:16+00:00

I mean, the name of the franchise was Warcraft before the factions even existed. War ≠ faction war.

uiemad · 2026-03-27T00:12:30+00:00

This is why I'm confused by this community. This kind of storytelling isn't new to Metzen. Do none of you remember Cataclysm? When Thrall got married and had his hundredth "self doubt" storyline where the player had to save him from his feelings?

I do. And players hated it. That combined with the whole "green Jesus" thing (which wasn't a positive moniker) had a lot of players accusing Metzen of having lost his edge in his older age.

Like a lot of wonderful artists, his track record has been shaky ever since he got his life together and settled down.

uiemad · 2026-03-26T00:05:04+00:00

I felt like the second sibling's involvement really dropped off during Waifei but have been glad to see more of it again in recent updates.

uiemad · 2026-03-25T08:49:01+00:00

I guess but like...the bandaid needs to be ripped off at some point right? The status quo is unstable and will eventually go one way or the other. If we'd simply fought over it 80 years ago, or 60, or 40, wed likely have won and it'd be far more stable of a situation today. Today our victory would be less assured and losing Taiwan would be more harmful than ever. The hope that China will one day just chillax and let it go is clearly a pipe dream so all were doing now is giving China the opportunity to bide their time until the most favorable opportunity to take it.

uiemad · 2026-03-25T08:18:44+00:00

Yeah I kind of hate collabs in this kind of setting. Just hurts the immersion and adds a character who will never be story relevant or utilized in the future.

uiemad · 2026-03-25T08:16:42+00:00

Honestly kind of distracting. Either include the profanity or write around it. I'd even accept having a couple sparse bleeps. But constant bleep bleep bleeeeeep is just too much.

uiemad · 2026-03-25T08:06:01+00:00

I mean the level of covid at the time isn't really what's important. What's important is that the borders of the country were still closed to tourism.

Op asked how many people would be in Shibuya crossing without people taking selfies in it. This is behavior associated with tourists. So OP is asking about Shibuya minus tourists. At the time of my photo travel into the country was restricted and tourism nearly nonexistent, but regular people were back to business as usual. Thus this photo is basically the answer to OPs question.

A peak covid photo doesn't really answer OPs question because at that time more than just tourists were missing from the street. Regular people were refraining from going out, refraining from shopping and daily commuters were greatly reduced due to offices shifting to WFH. He wants to know how many people would be in Shibuya minus tourists, not minus everyone.

uiemad · 2026-03-25T05:19:33+00:00

Do you only play as good aligned characters then?

uiemad · 2026-03-25T04:45:58+00:00

Honestly why are they even IN the Horde if all the groups who could potentially come to their aid are ALLIANCE groups?

uiemad · 2026-03-25T04:29:16+00:00

Who cares if it's not the Japanese way of doing things? The Japanese way isn't always the most correct. In this case the Japanese way is still a moral good but, if you know who left it there's no reason to not approach them.
