Fly me to Susan
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

I am glad that “I googled why I was coughing and it said I had cancer and would die in 7 days so farewell you are a good friend” will live on for more years.

I am playing this too and do enjoy what I’ve been doing. However it does feel that the game hasn’t improved much from DDDA. The Dragonplague thing is quite annoying and I am thinking of stopping for a while before they have done something to it. I really cannot recommend this game to others as for now, which is sad.

I remember how I was amazed when they showed that you could pick up shot arrows in Oblivion. Now I am not even going to click this link for whatever the drip feed information it contains. Seeing what Bethesda, Blizzard and Ubisoft have become, 17 years old me would be very disappointed in today’s game industry.

It’s one of those meth labs where the t is silent.

I mean, gong-bao chicken is also just diced chicken tossed in sauce, and san-bei chicken is, too. Beef Wellington is just half-ass cooked beef in pie crust.

They basically weren’t aware of the game before it got GotY and some even got sour that it won more awards than Zelda. (There was even a forum thread named something like “[sad news] a game that no Japanese has heard of has won GotY” which was quite hilarious.)
Then after the launch many players are surprised of how much freedom the game provides, and enjoy multiplayer sessions, classic big explosions, Talk with Animals, Scratchy the dog and Grease + fire combo, etc. There were some players that dropped the game with weird reasons tho, from “not anime enough” to “I thought this was an action RPG??” and even “I like RPGs but not TRPGs (??)” I’d say BG3 seems to be more like 50/50 in Japan because how its structure is different from JRPG’s, but those who enjoy the game are really fond of it.

Soul like everything, but that’s just me being too clumsy for any challenge. I do hope some people could stop complaining other games being too easy tho. Not every game needs to be Soul likes.

Unfortunately Twitter/X is still the fastest way to find Japanese fan bases for almost everything. For example Baldur’s Gate 3 just got its Japanese launch last month, and it’s been fun to see their thoughts since they are not familiar with DND settings or CRPG all together. Many Japanese users I follow don’t like what Musk’s doing to Twitter as well, but they are also not sure about other platforms so it’s kind of it is what it is situation now.

We do love (edible) peanuts here so it’s at least 50/50 chance!

Well fun fact time I guess: in Taiwanese, bullets are sometimes refered as “peanuts.” “Be my guest and have some peanuts” can actually mean “I will shoot you dead.”

Will you marry me

Yeah I love BDSM:

It’s crazy how these companies could manage to lose their goodwill overnight one by one these 2~3 years. It’s almost like they have some secret any% fiasco RTA competition or something.

It definitely was not a waste of time! Grab a cheap fountain pen and give yourself a new hobby :)

It is true, but it also goes a little deeper than that. In the 1980s, Amy Yip, a Hong-Kong sexy actress, was extremely popular in Taiwan along with her nickname “波霸” (boba, or “the biggest balls” in Cantonese). Around the same time, people started to put tapioca pearls in drinks, and called the bigger tapioca pearls “boba.”

In recent years, people do consider it’s improper to use such a term and has been slowly moving to more SFW words as “大/小珍珠” (big/small pearls) in Taiwan, but “boba” has stuck too deep in the English speaking world.

Can’t blame Jered. It’s summer and I’m basically thinking of boba 24/7.

Exactly. I was planning to just migrate to their official app after July 1. I mean yes the app may be an ad filled shitty experience but such can be said as well for Facebook and Instagram. Companies need money and I am perfectly fine with that.

It’s Huffman’s AMA that made me actively seeking Reddit alternatives. It was that bad.
