okay I know the bit, Americans are lazy, but this genuinely breaks my brain a little. less than ten minutes continuously each week? What the fuck??

Probably walk around with the explicit intent to just walk around for, like, cumulatively an hour or more a day. How the fuck are you people not understimulated at the time you go to bed. Is this some neurotypical magic I’m not privy to?

haven’t had the “goddammit the proselytization was entirely warranted” feeling at this level since I binged one piece. potentially even more so. its so fucking good

too sleepy to coherent post today. something something read umineko

Thanks! The reason I ask specifically is because it’s noted in the story that the names are eccentrically-written and glommed onto English due to a naming tradition, so I was wondering to what degree of arcane-ness is it for the script. Like, is it like naming your kid Keighleigh or is it like writing your kid’s name without vowels on the birth certificate

honestly it’s more convenient for me if i add it so i can keep track of everything locally, so no worries

god I love Umineko so much

I can add it when I get to my computer

It’s a bit in Umineko, basically the main character is named Battler and has that as their kanji name. The other characters have a similar name scheme, so I’m wondering how much license that affords me if I want to link original names to kanji

japanese language understanders in chat—for purposes of calibration of my artistic license in the sketching out a potential fanfic—how fucked is it to derive バトラ from 戦人, on a scale of “unusual grab bag of regular interpretations” to “arcane nonsense”

gamers debating whether summons are part of miyazaki’s vision is like abrahamic sects debating the canonicity of apocrypha but infinitely funnier because while the writers of the testaments are long gone, miyazaki is still alive and he has specifically said that they are

the reason this happens for FromSoft is of course Miyazaki, but w/rt Nintendo, it’s developed a Bell Labs-esque mythos around it that runs parallel to auteurism—not to mention the individual actors in the company that are ascribed that label to a degree, i.e. Miyamoto, Sakurai, Aonuma

the tangible answers are Nintendo and FromSoft

the broad answer is that anything that centers an ‘auteur’ in its promotion/development or has a solo/main developer is going to make a notable amount of people who like it parasocial to at least some degree. I’m also guilty of this, I give a lot of reverence to Toby Fox and I actively follow what he outputs, as his work has earned a level of implicit trust that whatever he makes will likely resonate with me.

all of the three twitch streamers I currently consistently watch now know about treatler and only one of them is Hasan

there is a non-zero chance that one of them has seen the image I hacked together for it that I’ve seen circulating beyond my original post
