Too add some Indian indie flavor to the mix, MALFNKTION is relatively obscure, the guy samples dialogues from old Bollywood movies to make funky electronic tracks.

I moved to Tokyo, which is something I wanted for a long time. Although time will tell if it really is a good thing, but for now I’m happy.

In my experience, gaming mouse or keyboard are expensive but the quality is better(ergonomics, endurance etc.)

But the two most unbelievably bad gears marketed towards gamers are chairs and headsets.

Gaming chairs are the absolute worst for my back and they generally lack good thigh support, both of which are absolutely necessary for long sitting hours.

On the other side, once I got into audiophile stuff I realized how bad these gaming headsets are. They are tuned to be shrill af so that you can hear footsteps better which you can achieve with an EQ(there isn’t any need of it anyways). Plus, their mics are absolute dogshit, and can be replaced by a cheap $50-100 standalone mic that will perform exponentially better with an added bonus of you not looking like a dork. Just buy an entry level headphones like the Meze 99 Neo and you would have a much more comfortable sesh because they are not bulky as gaming headphones tend to be and you’ll be salivating over good music after.

Of all of them, the “America’s racism” one is something that even the most propagandized westerner would have a hard time reading without a fit of laughter, at least I hope so.

Agreed, I think I meant hypocritical in the sense of how Russia is pushing for a more multipolar world and less reliance on the west.

No it doesn’t help much at all, just to an extent of recognizing some Kanjis (but also misunderstanding some).

The similarity in Japanese and Chinese ends at Kanji characters and even though the meaning of a kanji is often close in both languages, the pronunciation? pretty rarely.

Japanese didn’t have a writing system and loaned characters from Chinese to record the spoken language. This lead to a mix of vocabulary from both languages as they started using multiple words for the same meaning, one coming from the spoken Japanese and others loaned from the Chinese.

The structure of these two languages bears no similarity at all.

Source: I asked this same question to my native Japanese teacher who knew a bit of Chinese.
