That certificate is for N2 of the JLPT, whereas the top level is N1. A lot of native Chinese speakers can pass test levels beyond their actual Japanese ability just because they’re familiar with the kanji, which is a big part of the test.

if it was seen by the opponent during the match, then a choice of color or style could be done to mess with the opponent
Somehow I doubt a loud tie is banned. This is just arbitrary shit made up by petty tyrants.

Maintaining fashion standards (nb: hygiene is a separate issue) in an intellectual contest is so fucking stupid. Who decided jeans were less formal than khakis anyway?
- Comment on Steam Winter Sale Featured Deep Discounts - any recommendations? 3 weeks ago:
I played through it again a couple months ago but when I went to check the DLC it looks like they haven’t ever done more than 35% discount even though they came out in 2017 and 2019. Meanwhile the base game has done 90% off in the past (also the current price). Guess they figure if you like it enough to go looking for DLC you’ll probably pay more.

Now I’m wondering if you could just shuffle the order of all the lines from the script and the movie would come out basically the same.

Most people who’ve been juggling for awhile don’t need too much additional practice to be able to do at least a few blindfolded catches just because of how consistent your throws get after awhile.
The other thing that’s interesting is how pattern recognition in flying things people aren’t generally used to seeing develops. I used to play ultimate, and when people start learning how a frisbee flies they might be susceptible to chasing it down by following along the path of the disc rather than moving directly to where it’s going to end up. This is sometimes called dogging the disc because (many) dogs do the same thing. But then you learn to “read” the disc and you can tell by the flight path and angle of the disc where it’s going to land.

- Comment on How it feels to be a high-level necromancer in Grim Dawn 2 months ago:
My last run I did with a shaman and put everything I could into lightning damage. It needed a 2 handed weapon so I basically just wandered up to bosses and thumped on them until they died in showers of sparks, while the AoE from the lightning arcs killed everything else around me. Plus I had a summon or two to redirect some enemy attention.

I gave up on endless anime after I binged 200 episodes of Naruto 20 years ago. I maintain that it’s virtually impossible to sustain an interesting storyline over hundreds of chapters

I wish the Hexen weapons felt more satisfying. They just pale in comparison to the Doom arsenal, with the meaty crown jewel being the double shotgun

- Comment on NES puzzler Graveyard Dude released 2 months ago:
Tried the demo, and while I appreciate the aesthetic, the puzzles were brainless. Hopefully they’re hiding the more difficult ones in the full release.
Pretty cool that someone’s still releasing carts you can plug into the NES though

Typical Japanese bullshittery. I watch sumo, and even when there was no official way to watch outside Japan the sumo association would get youtube accounts showing matches taken down. Tons of industries are still run by technological dinosaurs.
