Catching up but you know how the mk games just were some white kids making up Chinese names but hsu hao has always been the one to confuse me because it reads like 梳好 which means "[hair] combed well" and that dude is a bald leather daddy

Also on cultural stuff my niece told me how the most rear end in a top hat kid in her hs suddenly asked in a history class full of east and south Asian kids whether it was true that the Chinese eat dogs. My niece's jaw dropped and then their, possibly well meaning but not very smart teacher, said, you cannot say that... that is their culture.

Ed Boon named two male characters Reiko and Hotaru and im not even sure if Reiko is supposed to be Japanese

I heard of reiko before seeing what he looked like which was a trip because reiko is a girls name which means beautiful child

Hotaru means firefly

I spoke to the niece about her nearly dating an incel which was wilder than I was aware of. So earlier she told me that she met him during an inter state chess tourney and he seemed OK, and he invited her to the pet store he did part time at which was nice, but she found him distant. It would transpire that he had deliberately gotten the pet store job because he got tips from whatever incel or pua community that this was the best effort free way to get girls to think you have empathy and are likeable

So it wasn't really working and she texted him asking if he was looking into pursuing a relationship because she wanted to know what to expect. And this is what she told me just now, which is that he responded with: "I need you to be very serious about this, and you can take as much time as you want and as many words as you see fit when you answer this question because it is crucial to how to value each other. What do you think of Andrew tate."

She was at a table with her girl friends and everyone had the longest gasp, then they all immediately cut off contact with this guy

Or at one of the universities my roommate went to. A faculty member was giving him grief for using Chinese instruments in his composition on accounts of concerns of appropriation. The commission was from China. They gave us all the instruments to loan and everything. I got to play the guzheng

White people even already have a tradition using the same techniques as throat singing: voicing Popeye

Does Mortal Kombat have much of a Japanese fanbase? I'm fairly sure most of the games never even got released there. I imagine no one's necessarily that worked up about the Chinese ninjas, especially given they're more wuxia than anything.

I've been playing Remnant 2 and the game is good. I chose the class whose special abilities can be summarized as "has a dog".

I also appreciate the confidence of going from Remnant: From The Ashes to just Remnant 2. Subtitles are for cowards.

If you die while still having an estus flask dragon heart he automatically revives you, and you can command him to revive an ally instead of doing it yourself if you're playing co-op.

What I'm saying is he's a good dog. You can also pet him.

I was playing battlebit. You know how there's proximity voice chat and you can talk when you're dead? I love it. There hasn't been those toxic interactions that devs are so wary of that they won't even let you have text chat even with your own team in most games. It's been fun and good spirited. Well, when I was playing today, I accidentally rounded a corner into a bunch of enemies they then dragged my corpse around and started trying to ask where the rest of my team was. However, my cat decided to answer for me as he was howling so I pressed the push to talk key and said "hold on my cat has something to say"

Thing is, about two hours earlier my cat, Gustavo, had a seizure. He has these about once a month and they're often triggered by clicking or clacking sounds, like in this case when I was putting food in his bowl. It's alarming but not a huge deal, since I just take him to the bath tub and hold him down so he doesn't hurt himself. If he pees himself I'll give him a quick bath and blow dry. Anyway, after big seizures you'll go into a post-ictal state where you're extremely disoriented and confused. Gustavo will lay down in the bathtub for a bit then wander around the house howling, poop somewhere odd like on a dresser, then continue to howl and wander around. The vet says this is normal and to just barricade the stairs and cover the toilet so he doesn't hurt himself on accident. After about 3 hours he'll calm down and go back to his bed and go to sleep.

Well anyway, the enemy team went from trying to roleplay as tough mercs to immediately breaking character when gustavo came on the mic. He is loud enough that the mic will pick him up. It was very wholesome and we all got a kick out of the timing and interaction of it all. Also gustavo is fine now, he's back asleep like usual
