Can we retire “(Because) Of course it is” once and for all?

Go on, son. I’m all ears. Tell me what’s worth sharing about this. On a professional website what makes money. Look, there are burgers at the start of Parappa 2. Should I tweet a photo of a burger, does it deserve to be uploaded as a point of interest as someone’s job on Kotaku? Perhaps you say yes. I say only if it’s…

What’s even remotely amazing or worth posting about this Ashcraft? So someone made a few of the easiest foods to recreate and took photos? FFS, onigiri, one of the simplest Japanese things what entails all of pressing rice in your palms? Where’s the craft in that? Not quite Marco Pierre White is it?

It’s a Japanese word. You like Japanese things yeah? Learn the meaning, it becomes easier to remember, and move forward. It’s no harder than saying Tacobellnakedchickenchalupa.

Hey Brian. Just a thought. Why not swap the twittertumblrfacebook for a camera and share some original photos of your own? You’re The Man in Japan! Step outside homey, some fresh air might do you some good!

Stop the presses! Someone taking photos at a tech event. Suspicious indeed. What about the twitter person you copy-pasted taking indiscreet photos of Mr Yoshida? That not even more suspicious? Click bait monster.

So this is what we write about now? A trivial elementary school grovel between parents and teachers in Japan, just because it’s Japanese? Tell me why this belongs on Kotaku, or anywhere on the Internet?

The first look at the Switch? What? Did the Jimmy Fallon debut not happen last month Gita? Poor.

No it’s not. You just like the hokey-dokey video with overalls and banjo. Why this is stupid? Because no one wants to throw down £300 to not look at the display, which is where games happen. That western gunslinger video was embarrassing. Don’t need a Switch, Joy-Con or even tech to play that. Literally the first…

Ashcraft. You live in Japan, right? Why does 0% of your content regarding Japan come from you? And a 100% come from copy-pasting other people’s twitter? Since we all have the Internet, access to the same websites and twitters, geography is then moot, so what then is the point of you? That said, I’m rooting for you…

Toddlers are the life stage for sims between being a baby and childhood.

You’re right, Gita is wrong. Boke’s closest meaning in Japanese is hazy. It’s most often used when someone is daydreaming or thinking about nothing. From that it was later applied to blurring in photography. Boke is never used to mean stupid or clueless. Let’s save those words to define Gita’s middle school fantasy.

Nailed it.

Boke does not mean clueless, or stupid. But this story is.

So what? Servers close all the time. Does age matter?

Gita, you making money off the word “trope”? Stop it already. It’s gross.

Amigo, that is standard Japanese voice 1.1.

No sir. The studio audience is comprised of 20-something year old girls who never heard of Street Fighter reacting to On-Air stupidness.

Stop the Kotaku presses! Ashcraft, you’ve covered an ancient video of Japanese people doing, fold your knickers, a barely passable impersonation of... Japanese people. FFS, in Japan, most people talk the same way based on what’s popular on TV. If you ever went outdoors Ashcraft, you’d see that at any bar all the…
