The only character named after a fetish I want to hear about is famed Bollywood actor Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Jr.

I don't see why you would mail off your vita for free when they're still going for $200 on ebay, but I wouldn't mind getting one dirt cheap

bloodychill posted:Educate me, endorph. Heck, here's the top 10 most common given names for girls in Japan: 1: Sakura 2: Riko 3: Aoi 4: Wakana 5: Sakura again, but with a different spelling in Japanese 6: Rin 7: Anna 8: Hinata 9: Yuna 10: Kaede 'ko' only pops up once Ko is just a character in the japanese language that's fairly common in girls' names, not some law of the land. It'd be like saying every british girl's name ends in 'beth.' That guy isn't being an insufferable poo poo, he's basically right. Heck, there are even guy names that end in 'ko,' like Takehiko. Admittedly not the same character in japanese, but they're pronounced the same way. Endorph fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jan 4, 2017 |

Endorph posted:ko (子) is a common way for japanese female names to end, but it isn't the only way, and there are thousand of female names that use one of the other common characters, like mi (美) or no real specific characters in that wheelhouse at all. Off the top of my head, Aya's a reasonably common given name that doesn't have a ko, a mi, a ka, a na, or anything. It's just a name. Thanks. Back in college I took Japanese for a year and the professor was an older lady and made jabs about how all the lady TA's had "young people" names without the ko, hence why I thought it was traditional.

The non restocking of Vita models had me looking for it on Amazon and they had some Japanese imports available. Will there be any problems if I live in America, regarding the Japanese import? The Glacier White version looks so good.

X and O are switched in certain menus but otherwise can be set to English and work without trouble.

'Ko' is a kind of bland, very mildly demeaning way to indicate a name is girly, since it literally just means 'child,' so people have shifted more towards things like flower names. The alternate endings for female names I mentioned in my post tend to mean stuff like 'beautiful' or 'elegant,' stuff that's a little more complimentary and specific.

Are any of those (I'm looking at Anna and Rin specifically) written almost always in kana?

Anna can have a couple different valid kanji names, though I guess the most common would be something like 杏奈? Rin is 凛.

Huh, interesting. Is Anna meant to be the western name or is it a Japanese name that coincidentally happens to look identical to an English one?

The list is from 2014-2015, so it's probably Frozen. Frozen was huge business in Japan.

Yeah, the popularity is likely frozen, though it was a fairly common name earlier too. Probably pre-dates western influence, but who knows. Also, reads as an-na, as opposed to the western a-na (or the english ann/anne), where you just kinda don't pronounce the second n in most languages. In fact Anna from frozen is アナ not アンナ

Will there be any problems if I live in America, regarding the Japanese import? The Glacier White version looks so good. I'd kind of like to know about this too. I feel like getting one of those weird Japanese LE ones just for kicks and those SaGa SCARLET GRACE ones look very pretty, and the base red one is a cool $350 CAD but I'd feel pretty silly if I wandered into some obvious blunder, especially since my faithful pre-launch bundle Vita is still strong. It's a strong Vita.

mycot posted:Huh, interesting. Is Anna meant to be the western name or is it a Japanese name that coincidentally happens to look identical to an English one? The popularity probably has something to do with Frozen but also it's common nowdays to give kids names that easily scan in the west in case they ever want to travel/study/move abroad/just be "global", so there's a lot more kids named Anna, Maria/Mariya, Marina, Sara, Erika, Karen, Lisa (Risa), not as many for guys but you got Ken, Joe (Jou), Leo (Reo), Dan etc. etc. ...people come up with wackier ones but those are fairly normal. Some of them are just regular names that happen to sound western, some of them are just western names you can write in kanji/kana easily. e: I think Anna maybe got popular at the crossroads of "sounding global" and more "-na" names becoming popular in the last.. 15-20 yrs?

Good Shiren poo poo 1. Try to put any Weapon/Shield you get to level 8 in the tanuki pot with no effects on it (either level it without giving it any or just give them up) Weapons/Shields from the Pot cannot grow so putting them in at a low level = Wasting the weapon/shield A Beast Sword at * rank(Beastmaster) + the Effect granted from the pot (weapon max +3 for example is great) means you'll find Free beastmasters ready for priming randomly in the wild. this will help you in those long dungeons you start with no items you have a chance to get one of your pot. If you get a Wish Item. Do not put it in the pot UNTIL it is * Rank. 2. for the deep dungeons. Being cursed is not so bad. Cursed status on your weapons/shields/bracelets just means you cant take them off. Their effect is not reduced in any way. dont waste your blessing/exorcism on those AkumaHokoru fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Jan 5, 2017 |

Anybody have Darkest Dungeons on vita? I know the control scheme's still not largely touchscreen as it should be, but it looks like they been updating it a lot. Is it tolerable now?
