  • Trump uses fake Indian accent to impersonate India’s leader in rambling speech to Korean delegation

    Jump

  • The accent isn't heavy at all. Surprisingly not very racist, or at least, not done well at all.

    I'm more concerned about his delusional rambling in which he thinks he alone prevented a war between India and Pakistan.

    What is the most hilarious thing you’ve ever seen in a cartoon?

    Jump

  • First thing that came to mind was that scene from the pilot episode of Bob's Burgers where the Louise calls Tina the worst kind of autistic..

    Other funny gags that live rent free in my head:

  • What's your favorite thing about your hobby?

    Jump

  • So many people aren't listing their hobbies (though many of them are guessable).

    Gaming has been a hobby of mine for decades now. I love that it pushed me into other relevant niche hobbies, like mechanical keyboards, audiophile/headphones, desk accessories, and other random tech, though these were mostly only to a beginner's level.

    I also learned how to do basic soldering but that's more being interested in electronics than in gaming. You could make the argument that gaming made me interested in technology in general.

  • Whats the best voice acting in any video game?

    Jump

  • Oh that's really funny. Never knew that about Del Toro. He has good taste

  • Yeah when I got to that issue and heard McLain's GLaDOS voice again I was so happily surprised! Totally caught me off guard in a good way. Made it much harder to assimilate them back into Delmer.

  • Didn't know that. That's pretty cool!

  • Whats the best voice acting in any video game?

    Jump

  • Some of my favorites:

    • GLaDOS from Portal 1+2: Ellen McClain did such a fantastic job balancing a monotonous robotic tone with human emotions and adding subtle glitches to show not everything was 100% alright. She defined what a female robot voice should sound like for that decade. I saw that Stephen Merchant was mentioned and while his performance was good and Wheatley's character was hilarious, I think McLain's performance as GLaDOS was more original and memorable.
    • Narrator from The Stanley Parable: Kevan Brighting was arguably the protagonist of the game and the player was the annoying mob to him. As the only chacter with dialogue in the entire walking sim game, he had to carry almost the entire game's story, personality, and charm all through his voice. And it's honestly so fun how disappointed, annoyed, and exasperated he gets when the player refuses to listen.
    • The Joker from Batman Arkham Asylum: This one is cheating cause Mark Hamill has played The Joker in almost every modern animated medium available. Still, there's a reason his version is so iconic. It's just so bittersweet that he refuses to ever voice The Joker again since Kevin Conroy, the VA for his Batman passed away.

    Edit: After reviewing my list, it seems like I like offscreen narrators who insult the player. How funny

  • Just realized this is likely the original version of that 80s movie, Three Men and a Baby, which I also need to see

  • I guess it's more of a trope than a genre but it was what I first thought about. Most of the genres I enjoy aren't guilty pleasures since I don't have any guilt in liking them.

    Found family movies and shows, however, make me feel a little guilty since my parents weren't necessarily but more emotionally distant. So it's like a tinge of sadness when watching them.

  • Gotta be found family movies, particularly if the parental figure didn't want the responsibility in the first place or if they're clueless, gruff, and/or emotionally not prepared for a child.

    So movies like Logan, Ice Age, Wild Robot, Up, or Despicable Me and shows like The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, Game of Thrones (Arya and the Hound), and The Witcher.

    I was trying to think of more found family mother shows and movies and honestly couldn't think of more. Most of the ones involving women that I could find are of friend groups or there was no hesitation to pretty much adopt the child.

    People aged 25+ How often do you hang out/see friends?

    Jump

  • I've got 2 groups of 2 friends each that I keep in touch with every 2-3 months. Well, one friend lives about a 8 hour car ride away so I only see her actually about once a year. We always have to plan at least 2 weeks if not a month in advance for meet ups but we still all make the effort.

    I think that's the hardest part is finding people who are worth the effort and are willing to make the effort in return. What I find works for my friends who are pretty different from each other is to find shared interests and do that. One group likes trying new places to eat and going shopping (a lot of times are H-Mart and Daiso). The other likes to watch movies and the review them together.

  • What Anime have good Openings/Endings?

    Jump

  • I did not know that about the artist. To each his own but maybe don't put weird fetish stuff into regular anime.

  • What Anime have good Openings/Endings?

    Jump

  • You haven't heard of the songs or the anime? Almost all of them are pretty main stream.

    I forgot how much the animation for Spy X Family improved in season 2 for the opening and ending. They're super beautiful

  • What Anime have good Openings/Endings?

    Jump

  • Just every opening and ending theme

  • What Anime have good Openings/Endings?

    Jump

  • Some of my personal favorite openings:

    • Elfen Lied: the anime itself was kind of ok but the opening and first like 10 minutes are so memorable. Been decades since I've seen it so maybe the plot is better than what I remember. Doesn't change the fact that this opening is hauntingly beautiful
    • One Punch Man: such a good hype up song. The song makes you feel like you can do anything
    • Pokémon (Kanto League): another great hype up song though I think a large part of it is how nostalgic it makes me since it was my first anime

    And Endings:

    • Inuyasha (Every Heart by BoA): like Pokémon, I think a good reason I like this song so much is the nostalgia. But even taking that out, the ending is a great example of jpop from the early 2000s. Fun fact, the singer is actually a kpop star and has also released this song in English and Korean. Growing up only hearing the Japanese version, it's super weird to hear it in any other language especially from the same voice.
    • Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1: the chill hip hop vibes and cool animation are such a fun way to palate cleanse all the gore and seriousness of each episode
    • Asobi Asobase: everything about this ending is great. The psychotic visuals, the cute anime girl vocals, the heavy metal backdrop. What makes it even better is just how much it contrasts with the show's opening. Many of the comments for both videos point out this hilarious disparity.

  • Are there actually any good mobile games?

    Jump

  • True but Bluetooth controllers aren't so expensive now and many work well with emulators. If you have an Xbox or PS4 or PS5, you could pair those controllers as well.

  • What are your "must-watch" movies?

    Jump

  • That's really great to hear that you're open to exploring! I've not heard of Rewrite but I do like Asian Kung Fu Generation. Good luck with your journey and keep me posted once in a while with what you like or didn't like!
