As you can see, she’s giving more of a conversational explanation than a dictionary definition. Her description of shotgunning could just as easily apply to debate as it could to psychic chicanery (or maybe my translation just sucks lol).

Like BigBadSteve mentioned earlier, shotgunning is that practice where the psychic makes many general statements with the intention of drawing out a reaction from the mark. It can be used both on crowds and in private sessions. Everyone has someone in their life named John or a relative with a heart condition, but if you’re the type to be taken in by such things it can seem like the psychic just conjured intimate details of your life out of thin air. This has been a common practice in stage magic and circus acts going back hundreds and hundreds of years.

If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

I feel like the author doesn't understand what a shotgun is known for, lol.

Is that a micro or a TV? Knowing Japanese apartments it's possible they put the TV on the kitchen counter.

Make some cup noodles Neet, by then it's only two hours until you have to get to work but you can still have a quick nap.

Oh my god I almost forgot that this whole thing was just a flashback of this seemingly inconsequential side character in a talk show about the supernatural that Neet is at for ??? Reasons.

I don’t think it’s on the show - it’s just back story for the one medium guy.

In a stunning twist, we finish this backstory and go back to the present and we never see NEET again. It's the Daily Life of a Certain Enami now.

It says "bread appears" for some reason. Also I'm only 90% sure I translated whatever weird kanji were on the bread. Pretty sure it says something like "fermented" or "ripened" or something, again for some reason.

I -think- that "Thing appears" is the message when you encounter an enemy in Dragon Quest, though I may be wrong. If it is, then you chose a very good localization for it!

I don't have the raw comic to look at but I assume it's 超熟 (choujuku) bread like this or one of many similar products: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nw0yV8hwN04

Worth a try if you haven't had any before. It makes amazing toast.
