You can also watch Obama say marriage is between one man and one woman on a bunch of clips online, because his opinions matched the demographics of the voting public. Once the majority of America supported gay marriage, so did he.

One of the most legendary artists of modern times. One of the few anime artists who actually made unique looking designs. You can tell his characters from miles away.

It says a lot that both Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy largely used the D&D monsters yet DQ has incredibly unique and iconic designs (the slime is the obvious standout) while Final Fantasy had stuff that looked a lot like the D&D monster manual (to the point where Beholder got replaced by Evil Eye to avoid a lawsuit).

I think it's ironic and a lil scary that an AI is what is listing these issues when it's nothing but a set of processes!

I mean a human is also nothing but a set of processes. Maybe I am biased because I am a neuroscience researcher but I find all the weird mystical stuff people try to add to behavior to be really weird. Like there is an obsession with making humans uniquely special so they get souls or free will or whatever.

How many kanji and how much vocab would you say you'd need to play the average JRPG? Understandably there'd be quite a few kanji outside the standard 2000, but like, how many to get the gist of most sentences?

Depends on the game. Dragon Quest games all use only kana or have furigana on all the kanji. Whereas Shin Megami Tensei is going to be in the 3000 range (you're going to see stuff like , , , , , , etc.). There are also a lot of kanji outside the standard list that everyone uses on things like Twitter and LINE, and therefore you should just know , , , , , , , , etc.

The lists you study also have some useless stuff on there, but it's a political list made by the government, not a frequency list. So you're stuck with junk like and .

TBH the art will probably eventually die off and nobody knows how to write the damn things or even recall the kanji unless it's a major one.

I don't recommend spending time to learn how to write kanji because there are better uses of your limited learning time, but this is incorrect. Most people know how to write 1000-2000 kanji no problem. I work in academia and I would say most people are in the 2000-3000 range. Again I don't recommend wasting your time learning writing, but most Japanese know how to write the kanji you use day to day. And you will be filling out forms by hand if you live in Japan and if you have to look up the kanji every time it will get annoying.

JLPT isnt special or rare Japanese in any way. Its just ordinary Japanese. I see the grammar points that pop up on N1 all the time in actual native material. And the reading passages are all actual editorials and opinion pieces from Japanese publications. The only thing thats kinda unnatural on it is probably the listening portion.

It has been a while since me and my wife took N1, but we both recall a ton of stuff being on there that we never use in real life and we live and work in Japan in a Japanese language speaking environment (we don't use English at work).

Also I am pretty sure there is a video of Yuta asking some JLPT1 questions to random people on the street in Tokyo and they got a bunch wrong.

Well, alright, I won't say that stuff doesn't matter to the book readers looking forward to seeing it on the screen, I'll just say I felt like they explained what was necessary for what occurred. Maybe Part 3 will be mostly geopolitical lore after Paul does what he's about to do.

Yeah I think the new movie explained the minimum needed to experience the movie as was intended. It wasn't realistic to actually cover all of them book and so it wasn't attempted. Lynch tried to cover a lot more of the book and it fell apart quickly and then got a really bad ending. That said, despite being a shorter film, it does cover more of the politics and setting.

I have to say I am really surprised someone would accuse Part 1 of explaining space geopolitics. The opening of the Lynch movie explains more about the politics and setting than both of the new parts combined. I think the new movies are very streamlined and focused on the story of the characters, not politics or setting.

Yes I do. The idea that our planet was just created out of luck, and time, where we are given life, the environment to thrive, the perfect planet to create a living place, animals to eat and survive, the brain to think and evolve, etc is difficult for me to believe, unless it was all devised by a higher being. I will say this individual, or individuals are probably not called God though, nor have a sex, or even skin color.

This is a backwards way of thinking about it. The way life evolved on Earth is in respond to the conditions present on Earth. That's why so many lifeforms live in so many different environments. The environments weren't designed for them, they evolved to live in them (we even have discovered weird extremophiles now that can live in volcanos, ice, nuclear waste, even without any sunlight at the bottom of the ocean off of thermal vents). Life is a lot more adaptable than you realize and the Earth has a laundry list of characteristics that are not ideal for life.

That's the default assumption though. To suggest otherwise is to suggest something for which there is no evidence. Just like if I claim there are invisible gnomes running around your house or you're an NPC in an alien computer simulation you would have assumed neither of those things are true by default, because as soon as we start assuming things can be true without evidence literally anything can be true.

The people who constantly talk about how you need religion for morality seem to ignore the correlation between religion and violent crime. Countries with the highest rates of religiosity have the most violent crime and within a country the most religious regions have the highest violent crime rates. So does that means religion causes violent crime? No, it's just a correlation. But it's also strong evidence that religion does not in fact provide the basis for morality.

Didnt go to any fast food chains during my trips to Japan, but I was pleasantly surprised by food costs. Id been warned that theyd be really high but I don't think they were for the most part.

EDIT: actually, I did have KFC Christmas. Was shit and expensive.

I keep hearing Americans say that food prices in Japan are high and I think it's another one of those stereotypes from a different time like the unusually long work hours and high suicide rate. It was true decades ago, but it's certainly not true now.

But in general I think fast food here in Japan is overpriced and certainly not worth the price. This is because you can get quality food at a real restaurant for as less. Just not much incentive to spend more for some junk. China is even worse. McDonald's and KFC is like a luxury meal there, total waste of money.

They have pretty much ignored all the emulators because everyone seemed to be under the tacit agreement not to explicitly tell people how to pirate games or to ask for donations for better compatibility with newly pirated games. Yuzu did those things. They aren't going after other Switch emulators that don't do those things. This is sort of uncharted legal territory, because the previous case was an emulator that explicitly could not be used for piracy.
