The black samurai dude is already prevalent in Japanese pop culture. The folks going around saying that’s the problem are just confused and dumb. There’s no real issue there The issue lies in how things are portrayed that make the game look not distinctly Japanese, but more western “Asia wonderland”. I lived in Japan for over 10 years, I have Japanese family, so I pick up on some of this. It definitely gives the vibe of a Canadian studio did as much “Japan” (TM) as they possibly could without having to actually go there or consult genuine professionals on cultural nuance or visual identity.

I say this as someone who has only seen promotional materials and not the game itself, though. So the game itself could prove me wrong. And I don’t care if you enjoy the game or not, I’m just sharing why it kind of turns me off.

TIL: “slams” = “warned”

This probably means it was legitimately him. I would have just assumed it was an accident, but he’s desperately pointing fingers, which is sus af.

Ah! It’s a setting in the app I’m using that I forgot about. I’m using a flight test app on iOS called “arctic”, and there’s an option to auto convert YouTube videos to piped.

There’s actually a long list of piped servers I could switch between, so I should just experiment and see if I find one first.

Thanks for the reply.

Piped has never worked for me, I don’t know why.

Apt timing. My FiL pulled out my wife’s GBC just an hour ago. It’s a pearlescent Pokémon Center edition with Gold/Silver Pokémon on it. Was just playing it a bit moments before finding this thread.

Some instances filter which content comes through, which might concern some people. And email services offer different features these days, so people might assume the same of fediverse instances as long as we’re drawing that comparison.

Why? (Honest question)

I have yet to see a single piped link work. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I clicked it again and then it worked. What is this?

Edit 2: nvm, hitting play resulted in an error
