@domi_twr @bitterincense I'll enjoy my cake in my corner of the room. I'm not really that desperate for others to validate my interests imma be real. I'm having a lot fun reading the story.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@bitterincense I guess it also helps that people who don't want to engage with the gameplay can just spend a day grinding it out and then basically never engage with it again other than dumping stamina to raise account level.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@bitterincense Story and characters EXTREMELY hard carry, most people aren't there for the gameplay. Besides, doing well in the fan art scene is literally one of their stated goals. I personally am mainly there for the story lol the gameplay only pops off once every so often so I'm that into it

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@nichigeckoh I can't really say which camp has more people nowadays (especially since "overseas" is a LOT of people of different backgrounds). In the past, EN communities were probably more biased against dubs because of the lower quality but now that average quality has risen, idk tbh.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@nichigeckoh So the sub vs. dub debate is universal huh. Personally I prefer subtitles, but when the quality of the dub is high enough (and if I want to watch the show again) I like to check it out as well. Although I watched Witch Hat Atelier with subs, the EN dub was also interesting IMO.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

I wonder how they'll tackle the story for this. Conceptually, I think it's interesting. I just don't know how they're going to tie this to precure.

Reading JP posts about BA localization is a genuine anger management challenge especially as someone who reads and enjoys it in multiple languages. I can only hold back from lashing out by telling myself that these people have never had to care about translated media before.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

Seeing Sensei acknowledge his shortcomings, try to make things right, and grow from it was genuinely inspiring.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

Seeing negative JP comments about Sensei's lashing out scene in the global version's Vol.3 makes me sad considering that scene leading into Sensei's Vol.6 apology scene is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful parts of the story.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

It's through that apology scene that I felt like I could finally understand Sensei as a person. Reading it, I thought, "So you're trying your best in your own way too, striving to be that 'ideal' adult we were all inspired by."

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@Transparent999 Sensei is not perfect, but he's genuinely an extremely kind person who tries his best for his students in the global version.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@Transparent999 No? Don't make assumptions if you only look at outliers? Sensei lashed out during Eden Treaty because he was pushed past his breaking point by Nagisa, an action Sensei deeply regrets. And making up for that mistake was a major plot point in Vol.6, tying in with the story's theme.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

well fuck you, apple

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@cloudzirolls @calimari0 oof. i've been hit by the wrong button. 5 points of damage

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@calimari0 Yes, I would in fact find it reasonable that the insane person who made SAO would neglect to consider the possibility of one of his AI's from his abandoned projects defecting and giving console access until he found out. Certainly not the dumbest thing in the story.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@swenlei56 Please get me out of this isekai slop hell. Why is the kinda mid SAO now the upper end of the spectrum.
Have a good day.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@swenlei56 Oh that's around what I read as well. I think the biggest problem with SAO is just story structure. Early SAO reeks of amateur writing, just edited. Unital ring is a bit... "too much at the same time" I guess? Feels like the story is barely moving.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@swenlei56 Yeah, alicization is... supposed to be the culmination of all the worldbuilding so far... except the anime adaptation barely brought any attention to it. So when you're just suddenly expected to be aware of all of it, and it's fundamental to the plot... yikes.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@swenlei56 The only time nerd meets another player in real life is right after the tournament, and the government was right behind him. So yeah, I do think it still holds.

[Aris Fridge @aris_fridge]

@swenlei56 Actually I do think the skill required to dodge something is lower than what's needed to catch something. The only reason game boy nerd managed to not die in the prelims is because he managed to deflect a couple bullets. So yeah, that's the more reasonable part of it imo.
