Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@ThanosReXXX as a person from a country that dubs everything always (and they keep constant voice actors for some celebrities too!), I sincerely can't say I care about the language of what I'm watching. Unless the dub is bad enough to make me cringe.

I mostly just grow used to what I'm exposed to.

Been playing pokemon in English since I was a kid? Don't you dare set the game in Spanish for me.

Started watching this anime in English? Well no need to get the Japanese version now.

Started a new game in Spanish? Well why bother changing to English now.

But I'm flexible too. For example, I'm completely fine playing BoTW and Hyrule Warriors in Spanish, even though I don't like the name changes for characters.

@Fooligan I kinda hope you're kidding, otherwise the following will be rather unnecessary...

Well, as a "MURICAN" (horrible word, by the way: it reminds me of "dudebro" for some reason... ) myself, I'm pretty damn glad that I actually DO like a lot of European things. It's always a good thing to have a broader perspective, and know and learn, and above all, experience cultures that are FAR older and in some cases more advanced than ours. It kinda puts things in a realistic perspective, instead of just looking at things with a close-minded, patriotic point of view, which in many people only inspires that "us against the world" feeling, which is not very constructive at all.

I love my country just as much as the next guy, but I'm really glad I've seen quite a bit more of the rest of the world that's actually out there, on the other side of the pond. And living in Amsterdam is simply great. And I come across more than enough Americans on an almost daily basis over here, so if I do occasionally feel pangs of home sickness, I just strike up a conversation with them.

@Yosheel But how do you know that a Spanish dub will make you cringe, unless you hear the English original first? That's kinda the point, and also why I mentioned the example with the German dub of Alf.

Because bad acting is bad acting in any language.

Sometimes I actually find the dubs sound better than the originals.

@ThanosReXXX Yeah I'm kidding. My name on here is Fooligan. Most of the things I say nobody should take seriously.

On that note, why should I listen what you have to say? You've been living over there for so long you've become institutionalized.

@Yosheel Hm, guess that makes sense, so I can agree with that.
Come to think of it, I actually have watched my share of dubs over the years, albeit sometimes obligatory:
Transformers, or any other cartoon series of Japanese origin broadcasted over here, such as Dragon Ball...
(which were ever only available in English, before there was any internet to speak of)

@Fooligan I figured as much, but I wasn't about to make assumptions, based on someone's avatar name.
As for becoming institutionalized: I should probably BE institutionalized, because having seen what I've seen over the years, will make even the best of us slightly mental. I've been in sensory overload for the better half of my life, especially when I ultimately landed, and decided to stay, in Amsterdam.

I didn't choose the avatar of a Mad Titan for nothing, you know...

So...does anybody else find that they can't sleep when they when it's full moon out? Like they're inexplicably energized and exciteable? And also gain a sudden obsession with wolves and other canid species?

...anyone?

@CanisWolfred
We hunting werewolves tonight....I MEAN, the moon is pretty swell, I do prefer the nights over days, but moons out in the day time....ECH

Just waiting for some Fall-Winter cold again/

I can't sleep in general.

I can't see the moon from my bed so I'm fine

I just meant on, like, the day of the full moon? Or at least the 72-hour period around that time?

On a side note, I found and played a whole bunch of different games where you play as an anthropomorphic wolf or dog last night.

Most of them weren't very good, had extremely low budgets, questionable design decisions, some laughably bad writing, and 9 times out of 10 were pornography. I still had fun regardless, and also fullfilled last year's strange urge to find a dating sim starring a candid canine relaxing at a beach resort.

My urges can be very specific sometimes.

I'm usually too distracted to even notice the moon is in any particular phase unless someone points it out.

Anyway sounds like you're going through a furry fever rush, I'd recommend some cold water.

If anyone can answer this question, I would be happy:). What is the battery life likeon Skyrim on the Switch? And I mean with the wifi off and the brightness at the lowest.

Oh cool, we have a troll that's constantly trying to make new accounts every time he's banned...

@Joeynator3000 Prove it. And Iasked a simple question:).

....Um, what?

@Joeynator3000 IP ban.

@Octane Well according to the alerts he hasn't made a third account yet, so we'll see what happens.
Besides, I tried IP banning before and could never get it to work, so....yeah. >.<

Check my profile. I only joined thismonth.

That was an interesting one...

Anyway he was not talking about you Danny.
