It’s definitely not cheating to use the chart imo. The Banjo-Kazooie speedrunning community, before the recent Ninpalk-skip was found, used a program to figure out the randomly generated answers to the Gruntilda questions.  As long as they’re not changing the game itself, it shouldn’t be considered cheating.  On that…

That’s a weird way to spell Takemi

Reminds me of when Narcissa got her 18:10 in OoT and proclaimed that Ocarina of Time is dead.  I’ve always loved seeing runners’ reactions when they get a PB or WR.

A huge congratulations to Torje!  What an accomplishment.  Though I’d be surprised if there truly isn’t anything new to be discovered and this is the last minute milestone--we all know that OOT was declared dead at 18:10 and look at where we are now!

I literally shouted “OH SHIT” the moment I read the title.  Bravo, speedrunners!

When you say that most Japanese supermarkets don’t have much in the way of bread variety, I think you might be vastly underselling what they do have.  Regular sliced Japanese bread is leagues above anything I can get in America, even at most bakeries.

It looks different because the controller is for Daemon X Machina.  I agree though that it looks silly...

Maybe in China and Korea, but drinking milk is very common in Japan.

I’m as diehard a Chrono Trigger fanboy as they come, but as this point Smash is too saturated with sword fighters. The Dragon Quest pick killed all hope for Crono.

In one of the tweets, the guy is apologizing that he accidentally left his fleshlight warmer and lotion in the picture.  Umm excuse me?  Fleshlight warmer?  I feel like I’ve been living under a prude rock this whole time.

I get that taste is all relative, but I’m really bummed out that you don’t like Rise’s voice!  Her voice actress, Rie Kugimiya, is easily in my top 3 favorite VAs!

It’s a little pun that’s lost in translation. In Japanese, the Etrian Odyssey series is called Sekaiju no Meikyuu (literally, Labyrinth of the World Tree). So it takes the -kyuu and stylizes it to Q.

Without a toilet?  There’s clearly one in the floorplan in the blue area

This isn’t remotely surprising for people who have been following his (public!) tumblr the last few years.  Hyper-sexual with no filter for underage followers.

So...Dante in Smash hard confirmed?

It only took you 100 hours to platinum FFX?  Don’t you need perfectly maxed out sphere grids to even touch most of the Arena monsters and Penance?

“even a dating sim”...as if mainline Persona games aren’t dating sims to begin with :)

Technically the Persona franchise hasn’t been a Playstation exclusive for a few years now, with the Persona Q games on the 3DS and I think the Persona 4 fighting games were on Xbox

40,000 word exposé by Jason Schreier incoming...

Wait I thought the official Sanrio lore is that Hello Kitty is a “girl”...not a human girl or a cat girl, but a “little girl” and a “friend”.
