She works with game testers, she's immune to social awkwardness at this point.

he's 29 at the start of the comic, so he's either 29 or 30 in the part-timer arc i think

NEET is very impressed with his ability to kind of follow a conversation.

NEET: "Yes it's quite early. I went to bed early" I told her about me going to bed early. Now I wonder what my next course of action should be. I cannot just tell her I couldn't sleep I was hungry and ate my dad's salami. A woman like her probably knows how to cook. Ms.Nishiyama: "Nice" NEET: I see... Miss Nishiyama approves of this. Maybe I should tell her about dad's salami to buy us more time *looks at watch* OH NO ONLY 4 SECONDS HAVE PASSED! I have ten times that until this elevator door opens!

Mackerel Cornflake posted:Well that's certainly deserving of another comic. beep, beep, boop. Amazing. Could this flashback timing possibly line up with part time neet's game testing career? It's hard to tell how much time has passed after Tohru got out of jail, and also hard to really guess Enami's current age. But if NEET is ~45 in the criminal arc at this point, and Smug Mug is 29 now, then in a flashback where he's 13 Tohru would have been just about the right age on the part time track to have tested that game.

jemand posted:beep, beep, boop. Amazing. We can't know for sure, but I get the impression that Enami is at least as old, if not a little older, than Tohru himself when he is introduced during the live broadcast in the criminal arc. He's starting to bald and he looks a little heavy. I'd clock him around mid to late 40s before the flashback.

jemand posted:beep, beep, boop. Amazing. I got the impression adult Enami was significantly older than that, about criminal NEET's age or higher. The console they're playing on looks like a Super Famicom, so I'm guessing this is early/mid 90s.

Just a wild guess on my part, but the Enami story referenced a meteor falling in Mongolia: Some quick searching turns up a meteor which fell in Mongolia on 15 August 1990: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=12068 Maybe this was the event the author was referencing? I also learned that the term “fall” in relation to a meteor has a specific meaning, in that it refers to a meteor that was observed falling and was then collected after landing. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorite_fall) I’m curious what the original wording was in that panel’s second pane for “the falling” and whether it might have the same connotation. It might help place the timeline with a bit more certainty. E: meteorite not meteor, I should know this Aino Minako fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Jun 17, 2021 |

If I didn't know better and couldn't read the text I'd think this was a mid-level villain in a shounen manga about to get destroyed by his own overconfidence.

Aino Minako posted:Just a wild guess on my part, but the Enami story referenced a meteor falling in Mongolia: Oh wow. That's really loving cool. I can't comment on whether or not "fall" has the same astronomical meanings in Japanese as it does in English, but the verb used in that comic is 落ちる (ochiru), "to fall, sink, crash, or degenerate". Furthermore, it has many wide and varied uses: it can be used as in "the failing of an exam or class", "the setting of the sun or moon", or "a website or server being down". Since we're on an astronomy kick now, I decided to look up the Japanese etymology of meteor and meteorite. Meteor is 流星 (ryuusei, "exiled star") and meteorite is 隕石 (inseki, "fallen stone"). Makes sense. If you watched Sailor Moon as a child, you might know that the kanji 星 (sei in ryuusei) gets a lot of use in Japanese astronomy terms. 星 (pronounced hoshi when it's by itself) can refer alternatively to a star, a planet, or any other sort of celestial body (a holdover from when all these things were just understood as bright points in the sky). It's used as a suffix for all the Japanese names of the planets in our solar system: 金星 (kinsei, Venus, "gold planet"), 火星 (kasei, Mars, "fire planet"), 木星 (mokusei, Jupiter, "wood planet"), etc.

Whale fall also has a weird specific meaning like meteor fall, except it's when a whale dies and its body becomes a deep sea habitat until the abyssal creeps fully devour it and leave. This isn't the same as if a whale dies in a shallower spot because in the deep it'll be a gross oasis in the desert for decades.
