Many European language versions of anime and games are being localized not by translating the original Japanese, but the English.

Lots of translators also seem to use Google or DeepL, which makes the issue even worse.

The English language version often don’t even translate, they write their own version, calling it “creative liberty”. This leads to a completely different version than what was intended, with others, such as the German or Spanish version, being even further from the original.

That’s why claims of people of having “learnt Japanese from anime” are dubious in the best of cases.

Exactly.

Depending on your physical strength, you’ll stop feeling hungry after 2-3 days. You’ll start to give off a body odor at around day 4, when you’re in full ketosis. After a week, you stop losing much water, mostly body fat. If you continue this regimen for more than 4 days, you’ll suffer refeeding syndrome If you break the fast with normal food, which can have severe consequences, so you better educate yourself before you try it.

All in all though, people fasted for weeks thousands of years ago, and you’ll be under supervision (unless you’re crazy), so you’ll be just fine.

Still, farting in public is not “I’m aware strangers don’t care about me anyway”. It’s “I don’t care about strangers”. I’m in my late-40s and would like to think I have manners.

Spending an hour in the character generator, then clicking “venture forth”.

Underdark is still Act 1. You’re on your way to the Act ending, but not quite there.

Wondered the same.

A bunch of fetish communities I don’t like, that’s about it.
