If you're speaking Japanese sure. In Japanese it's not "Nausicaa" it's "ナウシカ". They are pronounced differently. Nausicaa is the official English romanization, so to use the Japanese pronunciation while speaking English is just a weebflex IMHO.

lol like pronouncing it "kah ra oh kay" American karaoke and Japanese カラオケ are functionally different enough that they are entirely different words.

The only thing that drives me bonkers is when people pronounce House "Hausu". Bro the movie is titled "House" in plain English. You're just making fun of the Japanese accent.

You could tell me "Barbie's Private Parts" was a five hour film by Yoko Ono and I would 100% believe it.

We learned a lot about Hardee's/Carl's Jr. that stream.

Way more middle-aged comedians than you'd think in those movies.

I would block the phrase "AI" if it weren't for that dang ol' Japanese.

Do you know if the original game uses a bitmap for the kana?

The secret sauce is making Crystal an extremely likable character. She clearly likes Noel so by cheering for her we are tricked into cheering for a horrible nerd.

Branson do you crack up everytime you draw Sebastian's face? Because it's one of the all-time funniest faces I've ever seen. You did a real good job with the face.

The warehouse clerk one is just baffling.

I used to work for an Amazon DSP. The general rule is they are Amazon when it's convenient for Amazon and they are private contractors when it's convenient for Amazon.

This OVA goes to some wild places in the last 20 minutes. Also the characters were designed by Kenichi Sonoda of Gunsmith Cats fame.

Shit sucks now for everyone but if you got a few bucks to spare consider tossing them at the Internet Archive, they are truly doing God's work. archive.org/donate And read Harukanaru Ring! It's got crazy amounts of muscle women.

Apparently they made Harukanaru Ring phone cards. I wonder what other merch is floating around out there?

Bought a bunch of Japanese broadcast tapes & found some Sailor Moon premiers with commercials. The tape spans 2 weekends worth of broadcasts of Super S from 1995. Signal strength is weak, but It'll be on the internet archive soon. It's so cool this even plays. We're so close to losing this stuff.

I played the original too. The remaster fixes the horrible slowdown issue, so it's worth it for that alone. I love Vanillaware games they have the same "serious to goofy to weirdly horny" whiplash as the Metal Gear series.

The resurrection of Microprose is truly a godsend. It's so baller that there's a publisher whose entire ethos is "video games peaked in 1992".

It's even more impressive because that is hands down one of the grossest looking burger I have ever seen. Dried out hockey-puck ass patties.

It's even more impressive when you consider those patties look like dried out hockey pucks. Just a grody burger.

Exact same hurdles with scanlation. Sometimes the speech bubble is just too small for English. I would never just slap something into Google and call it a day but my Japanese is not amazing so MT can at least point me in the right direction. It's a great tool! It's capitalism that makes it bad!

HKRing @hkring.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I raised chickens and would eat eggs that were literally straight from the chickens butt and I ABSOLUTELY washed the chickenshit off them first. These people are mental. Also I LOL'd at the person who thought eggs were white due to malnutrition.

HKRing @hkring.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Lol yeah it was specifically written for dipshit courtiers who didn't know the first thing about anything but suddenly had to lead an army. That's why half of it is stuff like "Remember: Your armies need food." and "If your opponent asks you what your plan is, you should lie."

Back when I owned a car I would listen to podcasts all day. I missed them after I got rid of my car because I'm too ADHD to sit and listen to a whole podcast without the brain pacifier of driving, so now I just play ATS so I can keep up with my podcasts. Did you know I'm unemployed?

I did that a few years ago. They're fun in a braindead kind of way.
