Being single and not interacting with any young kids or having friends who do and are watching anime I personally have no perspective on how seriously anyone is making 'Sigma Male Grindset' videos based on Eren. Partly because I see them all over the spectrum, from Patrick Star to Thanos to Miguel O'Hara to Mr. x to Gru. So all I can say is that I'm assuming 80% of them are a joke by volume much like how all the #Thanosdidnothing wrong nonsense was people being contrarians arguing on the internet. It's a a small shame nobody could recommend the initial Isekai heavy hitters like Digimon or Inuyasha in the video though. But it's probably for the best that the video didn't become a 4 hour thing on the history of the genre before getting to the point. I do wonder what his opinion on Dante and Kirby would be as far as 'characters who're strong for no reason' would go

Captain Invictus posted:oh I assure you quite a few people think eren did nothing wrong I don't disbelieve you it's just that I haven't done a deep dive on the true intentions of everyone making those meme videos and I've seen that sentiment as a hashtag for like, the Joker or Syndrome or Zod or Darth Vader so I don't really know how seriously I should be taking it.

Latest Adam Ragusea video is another example of why people hate Usanians; the pretense that Usanians invented a thing and that now it only exists in Usania. And yes, I know he mentions kefir and then mentions it's the same thing, but the video still starts out with how buttermilk is uniquely Usanian, because nobody else before then ever bred pigs or let milk get bad with just the right bacteria in it. Incidentally, 'kernemælk/kærnemælk' has been used in a Danish cookbook back in 1710.

Arc Hammer posted:I didn't even know they'd made a third CDI Zelda game until Game Grumps played it and it was that weird top-down version with a live action intro and somehow had even worse acting and dialogue. It's simple to the point there's a Gameboy Demake of that floating around that plays way better.

the type of person to use "Usanian" once casually in a post is already mega insufferable, imagine what the person who pointedly uses it as many times in a post as possible is like

One of my formative experiences with yanks were several instances where, upon realising I was German, they would tell me how they were German too. They didn't mean being, you know, German, but genetically German.  I won't lie that this hasn't permanently coloured my perception of that country.

One of the funniest posts in the history of the forums was Fish Steer a Dhow /Fall Sick and Die’s post explaining American culture to posters in other countries as if it were a country not many people knew anything about. I remember that he used TUSOA as if the US were the United Arab Emirates or the DPRK. Whatever happened to them? They grew up and stopped posting?

That's more a pretentious chef thing, and there are a bajillion of them in every country that insist their culinary dish is special and unique and can only be done right in their country. Heck some countries even write laws stating that if a thing is not made in a specific region it actually legally can't be called that thing even if it uses the same process/ingredients as the food made in that region. God forbid if you make changes to a dish to make it more palatable to locals or just to use local ingredients. IShallRiseAgain fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Jul 14, 2023 |

Kinda reminds me of when I was on a food and travel kick and kept running into videos full of superlatives about this LOCAL FAVORITE you HAVE TO TRY. What was the incredible invention only available in <random part of the world>? Fried dough. But get this, over there they put sugar on it!!

RareAcumen posted:
I think there's also the fact that the term/genre itself means different things to different people: There's definitely folks out there for whom "isekai" specifically means "The wave of post-Sword Art Online anime/manga/light novels with trapped in another world plots that focus heavily on wish fulfillment and feature a world heavily based on Japanese fantasy video games", while for others that encompasses all Japanese trapped in another world anime/manga/light novels/etc. and you even have a crowd for whom "isekai" is entirely interchangeable with "trapped in another world" or "portal fantasy" as a whole. Like you said, the history of the genre is something someone could do an entire, four hour video on and the arguments about the boundaries of the genre and what does and doesn't count as an isekai could probably make for another four hours of video material. I think the biggest problem is just that, post-Sword Art Online, the genre blew up in popularity in a big way and so the powers that be in the industry started greenlighting anything that remotely resembled SAO in the hopes of capturing lightning in a bottle again. But when you're greenlighting EVERYTHING that fits a particular genre it means a lot of trash is going to be greenlit. Honestly, it's a thing that's happened with several genres (particularly wish fulfillment heavy ones) in the anime/manga industry: You had the harem anime boom of the 90s and the moe boom of the 2000s and we've gotten some classic series from all of these, but because of the sheer volume we've also gotten a lot of real stinkers and problematic trends. It makes me wonder what the next Big Thing in anime and co is going to be?

If your game doesn't have either in universe ui interfaces or a very boring magic system that still somehow takes 10 hours to explain it's not an isekai. It's just sparkling otherworld fiction.

NorgLyle posted:I used to enjoy Adam Ragusea's videos when he would do journalism-lite and have like a guest on who could talk about whatever topic he was covering but this new Adam Ragusea where he makes second rate food in his kitchen and gives hot takes is not interesting in any way. Which, I suppose, is great for him since it makes it easier to cook - but if your online platform is built around helping people learn how to cook, it's maybe not the best idea. If he just wants to show off how good he is, he's of course free to make his channel into that.

Also, I think this is what you were hinting at - but PDO isn't really about that, so much as it's about ensuring that a product sold is developed, produced, and processed in the area people would expect it to be made, rather than being some cheap imitation that comes from a large multi-national corporation that has no vested interest in keeping the quality high. trucutru posted:Nah, we anians don't give a gently caress one way or the other about that sort of things. And that goes triple for buttermilk. For real though, it's one of the best treats on hot days - especially when served with fresh strawberries and perhaps a bit of soft-serve or icecream from a local dairy.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:I dunno how Adam became like this though, he didn't used to be that way at all. He’s been very open about wanting to do less work for years now. Which is much of why I don’t watch his stuff anymore, I think. His early Q&A videos had very candid "the music could stop tomorrow so I'm going to do the best I can right now and bank it" commentary and over time I guess he just decided it won't stop so it's okay to do less. He's got kids, a life, etc. so it's not like I begrudge him that, but the result isn't something I care to watch, so, whatever.

Yeah, I don't watch his stuff anymore but I'm forever thankful for his pizza recipe. I use it regularly. Introducing me to that low moisture, whole milk string cheese to use as the cheese. I use another sauce recipe but the basics are still there.

Mozerella has long been known as a cheese that's good for pizza, because when it melts it forms layers that flow on top of each other - although I believe that the science of why that happens isn't exactly very well-understood. Still, I never realized how much of a difference low-moisture mozerella makes.
