Interesting. I have never seen a Subway that serves a shake. What part of the country?

Bravo.

Please don’t get my hopes up that there might be some kind of Berserk news. :(

It’s bound to be super interesting. Japan takes an extremely dim view of copying artwork, at least in the manga and animation industries. Like, almost too dim.

No Disco Elysium, eh?
History’s Greatest Monster.

I like Monster. But I also can’t help but think that narratively speaking, it’s kind of overrated, for one simple reason: The plot continually relies on coincidence to patch the holes in itself. There must be twenty times where plot threads wouldn’t connect in this show if not for coincidence — if not more. It’s lazy…

We’ll be right near Dotonbori. Will definitely check both out, thanks!

Hey, I’m pretty sure I know that exact spot. IIRC I bought a pair of Inari statuettes a little ways down that street on the left. T- 4 months to going back, though we’ll be spending more time in Osaka this time.

Saying I’d buy the game out of spite is a joke, but yes, most of the reaction I’ve seen around this has struck me as quite childish. 

Then you’re one of the good ones!

I’m not a Pokemon fan and never have been. But I’m thinking this is a great time to start, if only to use my purchase to offset a bunch of children who are still crying about a bunch of perfectly reasonable design choices. Game Freak doesn’t deserve this, and you guys should be ashamed. It’s like when Monster Hunter…

Japanese seems worse about this than most. You can translate a line five different ways, each with somewhat different meanings in English, but have none of them be “wrong”. Where you put the empahsis, how you try to preserve the tone, the specific words you use and their connotations vs other perfectly acceptable…

Good catch.

Exactly, it’s just... we haven’t had to do that in a while. And we don’t want to.

Like any weapon, it’s all benefits and trade-offs.

Wait, come back!

What I was trying to get at was more, you have to honestly evaluate people’s criticism, but you can’t let it just bowl you over either. For example, a lot of people probably would criticize her playing or covering Overwatch, but there are also good arguments you can make about why it’s okay to do so. You should listen…

This is demonstrably untrue. Please read the law before making comments that are only going to make you look ignorant. In most jurisdictions, while drunk, people of both sexes not only aren’t able to consent in sexual matters, but in other matters as well. Contracts signed while drunk are not valid. Gifts given while…

You can’t please everyone. No matter what you do, someone will disapprove. You should listen to people’s criticisms, but you can’t let yourself be ruled by them, either. At the end of the day, everyone has to do what they think is right.

You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Make it a good one.
