Maybe NEET parents are somewhat to blame for his dependent situation.

He can't make rice so he can't live alone? Just let him go and he'll figure it out on his own eventually. Get him a goddamn cookbook. Or teach him when he's 14 and not 30.

No, I'm sure the parents who are 1 web search away from :neet: are very competent and stable. But idk, how do you deal with a late 20s? Early 30s Neet son? He doesn't make enough money to even pay rent yet. Wouldn't the parents paying for his rent further enable him?

Teach a man how to cook rice, and he eats til the rice runs out.

I guess he never showed any interest in learning before. But then again, he does know how to cook fish egg pasta.

I feel like most western people don't care enough about rice to notice the difference in like the quality or well-preparedness of rice. It makes a difference if you do though!

It depends on what you're cooking. Rinsing removes starches. Generally, if you want a stickier rice, you don't want to rinse, or at least rinse less. There are a lot of differing opinions on this subject though it seems.

I used to always buy the cheapest rice cookers I could whenever I bought one, but recently I decided to invest and got a really, really nice one - and it's really, really nice. I used it to make a cake recently.

Assuming Daiisuke starts streaming around his usual time of around 10-11pm in Japan, that's anywhere from 6-7am (west coast) to 9-10am (east coast) in the Americas. Most of us will be waking up/heading in to work. :(

The numbers and lines on the pot don't directly correspond to any measurement or unit but represent the correct amount of water to fill to after adding in that amount of rice. If that makes sense. You'll notice he doesn't use the cup at all for adding water. Of course this would have all been a lot clearer if I hadn't "localized" to demiards, but where's the fun in that? :angel:

What's the deal with Choco-san? He is too good. I think they named Fortnite after him. lol

Penguin-san, would you want to set up a chatroom on your Discord for Japanese speaking members of SA forum? They would love to chat with Daiisuke and friends about translations.

edit: "Expression" rather than "talk" really does work better here. Don't know why it took me an extra day to think of it. Oh well.

Boring Translation Talk:

The original Japanese I've translated bombastically as "It's meaningless blather with no logic" is 「正論のようで正論じゃない」, "seiron no you de seiron janai." A more literal translation is "It sounds like a reasonable argument, but it isn't."

While the original Japanese sounds plenty contemptuous and nasty, I think the direct English translation is kinda lacking, especially considering Gorou's ire over an innocent and entirely understandable comment. He's proven himself to be full edge lord, so I don't really mind translating him that way.

Incidentally, Gorou seems really fond of the word 正論, seiron, meaning "sound argument, good reasoning." He's actually used it before, so no doubt he'll be saying it again.

Mackerel Cornflake posted:



There's more nuance to what Gorou is thinking in the original Japanese. A direct translation is more like "I'm not good with grandma... [Her] speaking in Hiroshima-ben for no good reason. When she mixes it with Kansai-ben there are times I can't understand what she's saying..."
