waiting for people who thought Labubu was secretly Pazuzu to find there's a cake called Paiman (pie-bun) in Japan and think it sounds like Paimon

a Warrior series buff explained Rauru as "he fights with a spear like Guan Yu and shoots lasers like Zhuge Liang" youtu.be/VjGDANt8ZsE?...

I don't like how the idea of wholesome nose-nuzzling could be weird and awkward in the wrong way for people who have typical Eastern Asian facial features

(repost from ZW Discord server ) fun fact: Fujibayashi confirmed TotK Ganondorf is designed to be hot www.ndw.jp/totk-intervi...

people are like "kitsune is a yokai!" then proceed to put the "kitsune" (ew) in a shrine and have no clue what they did wrong.

every time a trailer starts with a scene of a tropical island, I hope someone went nuts and decided to remake the SFC Marvelous

Dishes in Breath of the Wild (and Tears of the Kingdom) have some cultural references🍛🍙🍚🦀 #The_Legend_of_Zelda #TLoZ #Breath_of_the_Wild #BotW #Tears_of_the_Kingdom #TotK

they really need to stop relying on something you can find on TCRF and fan translation pages (with no proofreading) to pump out dodgy videos or I'd start to call them "human ChatGPT"

making "groundbreaking new secret" (a.k.a. just an unused concept or an invalid headcanon of official staff) bla bla videos with fancy editing and Lazy Translation of the Source™️ is a perfect equivalent of skipping the leg day

I didn't know witnessing matcha used for aura farming as if it's a new Buddhism and yoga could be this stressful...

people who grew up with Japanese entertainment (for kids) when they're asked why bad guys explode after getting defeated

it's your daily dose of shitpost

a local ice cream parlor near my house offered a "shrimp-flavored soft serve" and it tastes exactly like what you imagined in the worst way

people who only know the vague meaning of the word "氏" that it can be an equivalent to "Mr." simply replace the SUFFIX with the prefix😭😭😭

Aonuma's son (about ten years old at the time) once told his friends that his dad is making Zelda, but everyone just thought "he gotta be kidding" is my favorite sad-funny kids moment and a totally unimportant episode I learned from old Nintendo Dream interviews.

(Really curious about if people who refer to whoever game characters "Name Franchise" would unironically call the most popular Mario "Mario Mario")

Doraemon for Japanese creators is like Greek mythology for Western creators

Is it hard for English speakers to imagine that it's almost unlikely a Japanese (language) game references an English (language) meme/gq

sorry to break it to you but some of the "Zelda references" in random media (neither a collab nor a cameo) on the wiki are just people knowing nothing about Dragon Quest

Did you notice? #Deltarune

I'm one of the people who witnessed the fan name "Seccom Masada-sensei" (yume.wiki/yume/Seccom_...) being born, and it's surreal to see a Yume-Nikki-inspired song named after the said fan name being used in a big-deal indie game...

zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/Addison deltarune.wiki/w/Addison I thought it was weird to feel the name was familiar...

me: why you need conspiracy theory when you have game cut content rabbit hole? also me: did Fujibayashi secretly have permission to access unused elements in ALttP and inspire the whole concept of TMC????????

How to "own" people online: 1. Making the stuff up 2. Claim "it's from the Japanese version" 3. Never cites any source

doraemon.com.tr/en/ "the best English Draemon resource online is the English version of Turkish anime official" wasn't on my 2025 bingo card

TIL Addison's Fabric is luminous x.com/sodasuio21/s...

is Wikipedia officially a joke?????😭

TIL that the current world record holders of the oldest twin siblings (they also had a record of "the oldest twin siblings alive", but both of them have passed away) are "Umeno" and "Koume"

I think this image can be helpful (I think)

I don't specify what the topic I'm referring to is, but if the "mystery" can be solved without ripping or data mining but with basic language skills, it isn't a mystery to native speakers (only if it's spot on), and it's very unlikely that you happened to be the first person to solve it

maybe we need to flag every bad "analysis" regarding Japanese language elements in the games that people post on socials (and they're a bit too confident considering their skills) once they go viral to prevent them from getting edited in the wiki articles...💀

guess what came in the mail

me: I'm in serious need of a good English resource that covers Doraemon gadgets for the wiki reference... also me: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... people are nuts

I think baking tutorial videos (baking is preferable because it's easier to find recipes that are basic to you) are a good way to improve your listening skills and vocabulary in a new language

Today's Bed of the Day is Kafei's bed from #Majora's_Mask! If you think being a mayor's son is a kind of privilege, look at this bed. It's placed in his "room", the space in his parents' room that's barely separated by a thin curtain. Comfortability: Can't rate (completely uncomfortable)

Today's Beds of the Day are Mayor Dotour's bed and Madame Aroma's bed from #Majora's_Mask! It's unclear which one belongs to whom. Ironically, those beds are pretty forgettable despite the sheets screaming personality. Comfortability: 3/10 (-5 for the bare minimum privacy of their son)

Today's Bed of the Day is the Fisherman's bed from #Majora's_Mask! Apparently, the larger parts of the bed and the pillow are made of bamboo, which is good for humid climates like a subtropical region. Make sure to sundry the mattress daily, though. Comfortability: 9/10

when my English vocab was all learned from textbooks, I thought that people who talked about their "copy" of games or books were all weird individuals who loved to say out loud about piracy

finally submit to the NDL a request to send me a copy (xerox) of an old magazine it's not free, but it's definitely way cheaper and easier than finding and buying an entire issue on the web
