we read a lot of non-chinese foreign books in school
and I remember our teacher warning us how hard it was going to be to keep names straight
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I love monkey man
jttw is argubly the most unique and seperated from the common tropes
but legit, never had a problem, until I read some chinese shit
Russian, Sri-Lankan, Polish, all fine
china bug people though, miss me
I think the closest we have in the West is the Odyssey
it's one of the only widely shared non-biblical stories
like you said, Shakespere too
but there's a lack of Western myths or ancient history
because.... 200 year old nation lol
A lot of western stuff will pull from roman/greek mythos
that is western Pika
I know that is western
there are a lot of colloquialisms born from them
you're right they're not the same in magnitude though obv
bible + contemporary philosophy (reprinting Greek philosophy) seems to be more colectively notable
The magnitude thing is hard, becase even if you find something in the west that a lot of stuff references, it is hard to compare to china where essentially all of it references the same set of shit

well it doesnt refernece the same set of shit, its pretty diverse
Japan's the same way though, there are a handful of poems/books that define the foundation of their collective culture
they should consider pulling from other things since all of their stuff I have seen is bad

japan has the issue of also just stealing from other countries though
Max it's not too late to swap majors and become a literature scholar
lol
because you can have a surface level understanding of most eastern works but just like how we work shakesspereisms and etc. into our works without a thought about it, many eastern works have similar effects or deeper narative references to their mythology or works of writing that perpetuate their culture

okok, but now you have to learn Chinese to go read the original publications to then complain about the translations/localizations
that's how you'll know you've really mastered it
That's the keikaku

TRG is being killed
Thrown Controllers will also be continuing at cons with myself and Tim, although the con circuit for this year may be a bit different, I'll keep you posted on that.
I'm not a TRG watcher, but does the show even still exist without Chugga?
Jon is the one who runs thrown controllers, but the actual videos dying sucks
I assume the demo has MP?
this is
literally
1:1
its even the same sitting animation
the servers are kinda empty rn, since it;s the middle of the day
this will not be the NEXT BIG THING™️
but it's a lot of fun, and isn't 1:1 the last few Dark and Darker clones
the combat is different, the mobs are not just all slow humanoids and bugs
my main complaint, is it doesn't run well, and idk why it doesn't

yeah instead theyre tanky bullet sponges
I liked dying to a moose outside
