  • what are you doing listening to Japanese speaking voices?

    I think some anime legitimately sounds better with the Japanese voice acting, but some people take it too far and extrapolate that to mean all anime is better with Japanese voices and any dub is immediately shit. It becomes these weird gate-keeping elitism among losers where you literally can’t enjoy ‘anime’ a certain way or else these people won’t think you’re ‘cool.’

    One Punch Man sounds better with the Japanese voices imo. Saitama sounds downright iconic in Japanese, but like a generic wimpy boy in English.

    The vast majority of other shows I prefer watching in English. Either the dub is identical in quality to the sub, or the difference is small enough that I don’t care since I prefer watching things in my language.







  • This is a terrible recommendation and I hope as few people follow it as possible.

    People like you are why Linux has a reputation for always being broken; as soon as we get something that works and is stable, we gotta move to the next broken thing.

    The same thing will be said about Wayland in 20 years, if it ever reaches feature-parity with X.


  • Why does every discussion about Wayland include trashing xorg?

    I don’t know, really, but it’s something I feel I’ve seen before. I thought about it and it’s just fanboyism.

    Some people get legitimately angry when they see someone using something they don’t like, and I think Wayland fanboys fit in this category to a tee.

    I see the exact same kind of backlash whenever someone brings up Nvidia or Manjaro. The fanboys come out and all take it as an opportunity to recommend what they like because they believe their tastes are superior to everyone else’s.
