// Minthara's "it was a beautiful webbing" pun is translated in spanish as "it was a beautiful wedding [...] the spouses [...] had hundreds of eyes on them"

i absolutely do not claim to understand japanese and this is like not a shock because i have made 0 formal effort to learn it ever but a really really annoying thing is that after like 14 years of cultural osmosis i know enough things about japanese that watching the subtitled version rather than the dubbed version of something actually does give me more information and sometimes lets me identify if the subtitles are inaccurate

Hi, do you know why Dr Ulatane from the XY card game manga was named "Hiroshi" ? Is it a pun or something like that ?

yes! it's a pun on 博士 (hakase, aka doctor, the job title that's translated as "professor" in english versions of pokémon) because 博 can also be read "hiro" and 士 can also be read "shi." hence, hiroshi!

(fun fact, this pun is also present in yakuza kiwami with one of the kids from the mesuking storyline, except there's really no way to get that there's even a pun in the english version unless you're knowledgeable about japanese to begin with)

Shanks

-It will devour a tree if add salt. -*An untranslatable pun about a big nose* -The soap on his ship ran out 20 years ago. -"Buggy is my boyfriend, but he doesn't know yet"

#OP's opponent has made the classic blunder of putting all their pieces on an unpurchased square #if OP has any sheep or lumber they can build a hotel on d5 and black'll be bankrupt within three turns #but yeah if they don't have sheep or lumber then the sicilian defense is probably their best bet #chess tags by @sufficientlylargen (on an earlier version of this post)

Hey guys, my opponent just fused their entire side of the board into a gestalt entity, which is currently dissecting and calcifying my pieces such that they fit into its twisted vision of an eternal, perfect state of the universe. What's the best counter in this situation?
