Tbh Italians probably don't eat Domino's type pizza at all, nevermind the crust. Like Japanese people don't eat Costco sushi. In that sense I feel like Garnt is actually closer to them, in not accepting something that's of poorer quality.
@@leonardocastellini1590 that makes me glad to hear. in america, you can get much better pizza than dominos but most dont feel like finding a nice spot. dominos is such garbage pizza.
In this episode Garnt wants to go to Italy for Pizza crusts and also realized Incest is weird. We are shifting to the dark timeline. Oh and Connor liked an RPG. What the fuck.
Garnt NEEDING to clear his notifications is something I have as well so I ended up training myself to not remove notifications for super important things like replying to a work message or cancelling a subscription. It's doubly effective because those notifications will bother me for the entire day until I address it lmao
I used to do the same in discord to the point that i ended up muting servers just to get rid of the white dots beside the server icons... I also trained myself to stop caring
Same. I disable notifications for most apps. I wonder if it's an ADHD thing? And then I see someone else's phone with a gazillion notifications and red dots and I feel a vein popping in my head. How do they live like that??
My God. It might be another ADHD THING. @SheliakDragon I am a total notification clearing nazi. I set my phone to give me text notification reminders, and it's a godsend. Side note, you can pull down on a notification to expand it (at least on Samsung phones?) so I can read a text, leave it on my notifications bar for until I have a moment, and then reply to it
Timers are OP when it comes to managing bad habits. If you ever feel the need to check notifs/watch youtube/procrastinate in general, set a timer for 10 minutes and do something productive knowing you'll get to satisfy your impulse later.
The maker of Fear and Hunger actually wrote their Bachelors work of mediastudies about horror on video games using their own game as the main example / frsmework
@@skullcandy14785 Bachelor work isnt really an assigment but free form proof that you are capable of academic writing. On more technical fields it differs but in this case its rather dry analysis
Connor failed to mention that the game has a mechanic for phobias, and during his run he got panophobia, which absolutely F'd every battle encounter for him
@Shatterknife The phobias affect your accuracy and evasion against certain kinds of enemies. Necrophobia gives a debuff against undead as an example. Panophobia is a fear of everything, so Connor had a very shitty experience in his run LOL.
I’m Italian and I watch you guys 🥲🇮🇹 Love to hear Connor appreciate our food, after his take on pizza haha and I also think that we have some things in common with SEA, some aspects are very relatable.
As an italian, I not only watch you but I'm willing to pay any amount of money for a trash taste special detailing a trip to Italy of the three of you.
Same, that would be so cool! I’d love to watch that. Knowing how Italy works, I’m sure it would turn out pretty funny with a lot of unexpected moments.
I totally get what Garnt is saying about the nostalgia thing. Not only that, film easter eggs no longer feel like easter eggs. They’re practically forced down your throat. Modern Star Wars films and shows are a perfect example of this. Trailers utilize nostalgic themes to get your emotions going and the films are littered with obvious throw backs to prior films. Cameo’s of either random characters from previous stories or straight up random celebrity appearances. It’s all over Hollywood. Nostalgia seems to be a very bankable issue.
given marvel's track record since end game, it's fair that the other two boys were skeptical. but i do feel that it's a legitimately good show, even outside of the marvel franchise. the animal abuse theme was hella strong though.
i cant even describe how much i love this podcast...i hardly get into podcasts because they usually dont talk about anything that remotely interests me. random youtube drama, scandals, rehashing the same things over and over again, theyll bring on unrelated youtubers just because theyre popular or whatnot. but FINALLY this is something i can happily both pay attention to as well as zone out to while i draw if needed - so thank all of you. im also glad that you all speak your mind blatantly whilst still retaining respect. big props !
"what if they just remade the first movie but with a bigger budget?" Joey, if you're reading this, I'll gladly inform you it already exists, they turned the first movie into a 3D CGI animation a while back.
@@balabanasiretihe isnt obliged to keep up with anime specially when every season half of It is shitty isekais and/or Power fantasy. There are some good ones this season but even then
36:15 I'm italian and I've been watching you guys from your very first episode. We might not be a lot but there's surely a bunch of us enjoying your content.
It makes me kinda happy to know that there are other people watching from Italy. Most people just remain in their bubble and watch only Italian TH-camrs not realising how many good content creators there are out there.
@@robert5408 I guess it's more of a comfort thing, I think italians are getting better and better learning English, the previous stereotype that nobody speaks it isn't as true as it was before, but I guess there's still a lot of them that would rather watch stuff in a language they're more familiar with.
Does it? Never happened to me personally. It really only happens to me if I play a short, then close the app, and open it again later on. That's not to say that it doesn't happen to anyone else.
@@FrenchDinosaur But the thing is if you're just playing a normal video, then close youtube and open it, it dosent play another video but it does that for shorts for some reason
@@IR-Fannope, I've gotten so annoyed with it that I kept testing it💀 even if I'm watching a regular video and close the app, if I'm just scrolling through the recommendation page or explore page and close the app, if I force shut down the app: it always opens up to the shorts page playing a random short😮💨
Grant first bringing up trails is what made me play it and it’s become my favourite game series of all time. Really funny now that I couldn’t disagree more with his feelings on it lol
Weirdest take was that he felt that reading guides made the combat complicated when the game isn't making him do that. Like I would get it if he thought it was too slow, but complicated? You did it to yourself man.
@@ItisThatGuy exactly. perhaps its a perfectionism thing to get the most optimized build for each mission, but for the majority of the game (at least from what ive played), you can grind to meet the appropriate level. otherwise, if you're anything like me, you can cheese through turn based games while underleveled using items, skills that cover as many elements as possible, and cheesy util skills. its all on garnt if he wants to overcomplicate the game by reading guides. guides are only there for the people who want to use them and find pleasure in prepping.
Bro, Guardians is the Galaxy 3 was so freakin amazing imo. Literally the first movie I watched in theaters that gave me such a happy feeling when I was done
@therebornjuker7165 if you mean the first marvel movies when you said OG. When it comes to Marvel movies, i did start them real late. The first Marvel movie I watched and saw in theaters was actually End Game. Kinda silly to start at the end at the time lol but my friends really wanted to watch it. Then from December 2019 through 2020. I watched all the movies in timeline order. The only other Marvel movie that I watched in theaters that gave me a close feeling at the end (like GotG 3) was Shang Shi
I personally miss the era of the mid 2000s to about 2010 when fan subs were how I got all my anime and they always put in translator’s notes to help you better understand what was being talked about, or to dig a little deeper into what’s happening in the Japanese. Not to mention I still feel like the old fan subs translated things in a way I enjoyed more.
During that Fear & Hunger segment, after a while ALL of their descriptions just started to sound like how real life feels like. How “it’s not hard, you just have to know certain things”, and that as long as you’re lucky enough to have a guide (Connor’s twitch chat or a guide online) to tell you about things you could never have found out on your own, you can dramatically decrease your hardship. So often in life people are not happy or can’t seem to get a break all because they were not privileged enough to be born into stable conditions with enough material resources, stable families or environment to help them (or just give them avenues for salvation) or they just didn’t have any way to get prior information about things and had to brutally go through trial and error to survive when if they had that one thing that so many other people are privileged enough to have, they wouldn’t have need to have suffered for however many years. That is IF they survive, cuz the majority that are dealt a shitty hand just end up in the absolute gutter with no one to help them. No government, no family, no society, no friends. I know it’s just a game but it just hit me way too hard. But imagine, the boys and many others feel stressed and just immediately don’t want to play that game just hearing the descriptions, being stuck to that basically just being your whole entire life… feels soul-crushing Just started listening to the rest of the game’s description with that analogy to life in mind and it’s fun (/s) to realize how accurate it is
Garnt not liking the music in Trails is genuinely mindblowing to me. Falcom Sound Team jdk is incredible. Also, you don't need to build each character perfectly to get through any Trails game, what? Just play how you want to, the story is worth it 100%
I'm assuming he's the type who likes upbeat, uplifting battle themes, and while the Sky series has a very decent, nice collection of JRPG tracks (that I mostly associate with a very peaceful, tranquil feeling), I'd say the really strong, thrilling tracks start to pop up from the point of the Crossbell saga on, and since he only played the first two Sky games so far, he wouldn't even know what great variation the music this series can still offer.
Yea that also confused me. Trails is not a game that requires or needs a lot of tweaking of characters in the menu like say Xenoblade (and even XC has auto equip feature); most characters have set quartz paths with set roles. I have only played Trails in the Sky FC and SC and while I don’t think it has a top-tier OST it definitely has some great songs like Zeiss and the title theme for FC.
you need to understand that this is a podcast that has vested interest in Honkai's success, considering their involvement and their sponsors. This is them being paid to shill while trying to pull it off as an objective view.
No idea if Garnt is gonna continue playing the Trails series but the character customization gets simplified a lot in future games. To be honest I have no idea what guide he was following since I have played 8 of the Trails games and never had the need to look up how to build characters to beat the game, the only real use for guides in my opinion is for the hidden sidequests.
yah lol idk why he looking at the build and sht the game is just too ez like for me i just spam aoe all skills on Kloe and they are just dying left and right for me i think he just wants a linear jrpg like turn off his brain and just want to see the story and i have some moments like that too
Really hope he doesn’t drop the series just cause he didn’t feel the gameplay at first. He definitely needs to finish sky the third at the bare minimum I say. I just hope the story is enough for him to keep playing the games.
@@Wallie33. At least with the later games (especially the coldsteel games) you can stack gladiator accessories and just heavily abuse crafts, so that makes the games much easier.
47:20 No you're not crazy. This has been happening with me for over two weeks. I know for sure because I refuse to watch shorts and whenever I opened the app and it automatically ran a short, it annoyed me alot.
they're just newcomers who don't know what the term is used for. Honkai or HI3 is commonly refer to Honkai Impact as it has been for years. Star Rail or HSR is for Star Rail. It's that simple. Heck, they don't even know the difference between the two games, like when they showed Honkai thumbnail image instead of Star Rail at 1:25:41
I knew Garnt had been playing Star Rail so wasn't that interested, but then I saw HI3 on the thumbnail and was wondering how on earth I'd missed seeing any reaction clips. I should have guessed.
@@MugiwaraRyu I mean they are sponsored to play it, which is an obligation over a hobby. So they maybe stream it for a few hours for one or 2 days, cuz let’s be realistic, they don’t have time to go in depth for every game sponsors they have. Since genshin and star rail are the biggest fads it makes sense for them to play it out of curiosity
for the trails thing garnt was going on about (around 1:30:00 ish) as someone who is 5 games in so far unless you play on the harder difficulties you dont need to mess with the builds too much, for the most part ive just messed around with equipment when i got somthing obviously better or as needed by area (anti poison item for area with tons of poison etc)
I don't know if I'm the only one with that reaction, but I fail to understand their point and complaint about "complex" turn-based combat. To follow the games they mention, Fire Emblem and Trails, yes there are guides that go over "optimal builds" in detail, but... nobody said you need to follow these guides. Both franchises are perfectly beatable without using strategy guides, because the games themselves already teach you how to manage your combat. You can simply play the game as is, with some trial and error along the way. At worst, you'll look up how to beat a difficult chapter/boss. All I used guides for in Trails 1 was for 2 bosses and making sure I didn't miss any chest. I feel they let the surprise they had about some hyper-detailed guides cloud their judgment and make them believe you can't play the game without them. Please correct me if I sound way off.
Sounds about right. The main "complexity" of the older trails games is probably how one unlocks spells, but you can beat the game with almost any loadout as long as you make sure your physical damage is enough to smash things and you have decent coverage (some enemies have elemental weaknesses but even the "lower tier" spells can hit hard)
Yeah, I don't think it is as complicated as how he described it. I played Sky years ago and I don't feel like I needed that much prep. I think it is easy to tell which character satisfies each role.
The quartz system in cold steel is much more basic compared to sky/crossbell. I think because cold steel was trying to appeal to the Garnt audience, it simplified the system. Ofc, cold steel also implemented the link, bravepoint, overdrive, and break systems, so I forgive it for simplifying the quartz system. Its just that it was really fun in sky/crossbell.
Did Garnt play Trails on nightmare or something? I don't remember having to get that crazy with the quartz. Once in a while you'll come across a boss that uses like... petrifying abilities so you use the "dont get petrified amulet" but thats about it.
Ah yes the Gacha episode. Can't wait to see what Garnt has to say on this episode. Edit: So now that I have watched the video, I agree with Garnt on the Honkai take. It basically dumbed down the turn based combat system and made it very flashier to make it much more accessible to the casual audience. However, I also do think that after a while, a lot of players who want more complexity from the game will eventually get bored of it. It happened with Genshin. The music though, Amazing! I really wish the bois would go back and check up on Arknights again. We've been getting some really crazy music for our boss stages recently.
For me genshin's combat system was deep. Not skillwise but the rabbithole of genshin combat's nuances gets pretty deep, look at kqm theorycrafting library. Cant say the same for hsr tho.
@@melzick5086 I guess you can say there are a lot of different mechanics at play there. But essentially, a lot of them do basically the same thing with different animations and effects and varying numbers. The problem here is that at the core, it's very simple and the gameplay loop just isn't satisfying enough to keep it going. Look at Honkai Impact 3rd for example, its got a very nuanced and in depth combat system along with varying degrees of element effectiveness and counters. But it's something that the casual player cannot just pick up and play. HSR on the other side feels like it has a lot of depth to it's combat to the first time players. But to those who have been long time turn based players, I don't think it's something they'd actively enjoy. And I can see that it definitely loses it's charm somewhere down the line for a lot of the current players as well.
Yp till date HI3 has the best story Star Rail has the potential to surpass it but it remains to be seen. For now, the main advantage of HSR other than superior graphics is that its plot is interesting from the get-go while HI3 took a while to get rolling.
Can't be forgotten when most of these new players probably never knew about Honkai in the first place. Eventually Star Rail players will find their way to Honkai. Like Genshin players did, but probably more so since Star Rail is even more related to Honkai than Genshin.
I’m with Garnt regarding Gacha games, as a university student I don’t have time to play games like Elden Ring during the semester. Gacha games is the perfect balance of casual gaming and gaming gaming.
Exactly this! People who play AAA games alone don't understand. I have still not completed Elden Ring because I simply don't have the time to sit down and focus on the game. I play Genshin and have not spent any money on it but it still gives me something to do every day for half an hour or so with actually good graphics
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse bro how are you surviving? I can barely play games in the night because I’m dead tired by the end of the day lol and there are some days I have to go through without any sleep at all, save for a few small naps here and there so when I’m done, I ended up collapsing on my bed the moment I see it
@@nithent5149 I'm in my 2nd year right now which is pretty chill. Yes I'm busy but I also try to balance my time so I can do my own shit instead of studying 24/7. It might change by the time I'm 3rd year tho bc we start our placements then
Goddamn two ass takes in one episode. GOTG 3 was great and the villian was incredible it wasnt just "screaming" and Garnt the TLOU game does a way better job at telling the story than the show. the show was damn good but it was like watching a speedrun of the game. The pacing felt a bit fast towards the end and with the game it has more time for the player to connect to the characters so when joel does the thing in the hospital its more tragic. So yeah the show is good but the game is still better
Lol no, GoTG 3 wasn't great, it was okay like Connor correctly pointed out and most critics agree with him. And the villain fucking sucked. You're going to forget him in like a week.
@@za-ir5ni 💀what critics are you looking at cause from what ive seen is critics like it alot and i defiently will not forget aboutthe villain in a week. the way he was potrayed as just a bad person was a good change of pace from the trend of villains being sympatic
@@za-ir5ni It's been weeks buddy, no one forgot him. I don't even remember what the fuck Kang did the new Thanos. And there are many videos after that saying the same.
I get that the system in Trails in the Sky can be complicated, as you need to have a specific number of combinations of Quartz to be able to use certain arts. The system in changes in Trails of Cold Steel and beyond. The more recent games have also changed the gameplay to a hybrid style, where you can switch between action and turn-based.
Yup. Some die-hard fellow fans always cling to the importance to play the games in chronological order for a "rewarding" experience, but often times I just figured that one should know the people you want to recommend this series well enough and see if they are usually not into the very classical, somewhat slow-paced, traditional turn-based combat system and thus rather try to recommend them the modern installments of the Trails series like Cold Steel. I feel the success rate to sell them on the series is a bit higher with the modern parts of the series as they have added more comfort gameplay elements that make them stick to the lengthy games in the first place, which then can work well as introduction to the rest if they become more interested after their first playthrough.
@@thaumana8489 Yeah this was my case for me and if I started with Sky instead, 90% sure i would've dropped the series, Im now waiting for Kuro 2 instead and damn i didn't expect that when playing for the first time with a mindset "ok lemme try this one niche jrpg"
@@kentstopme true i totally understand that if you have a work or a priority in life.. its not that worth to feel that rewarding expirience but if you have a lot of time why not give it a try i think it will hold a special place in your heart if you do that
Garnt, what on earth are you doing in Trails? 😂I slot in some quartz at the beginning and adjust those once or twice and you can get through the game on normal just fine! You don't have to do anything with character builds at all! Cold Steel did streamline the combat system a lot so I wonder what he'll think of that if he ever makes it there...
I get that Connor doesn't care for story but it's so interesting to me that for him a game needs to be difficult to enjoy it. The dark souls games are some of my favorite games but I love a lot of other games that aren't designed to make you struggle.
I don't want to assume, but maybe Joey doesn't want to watch Arcane since he just doesn't care about League of Legends. Sure, people say it has incredible writing, animation, etc, but if someone just doesn't find the premise interesting, anyone would find it a hard sell. Imagine Connor's reaction if you recommended him an absolutely incredible new airing show with great acting, writing, action, etc... And then imagine the look on his face when you tell him it's about the Bible. You know, that book his childhood made him apathetic towards. I doubt he'd be all that interested after hearing that. I'm probably wrong and Joey has some other reasons, but that's just my impression.
Guardians Vol3 was such a good film. And yeah I’ve gotten what Connor talked about where you open YT on mobile and it opens straight into a short. Also I’ve never been able to stick with a Gacha game for more than a week. Only made it an hour into Genshin. Honkai Star Rail though weirdly works for me
this might be the Episode with the most consistent "Bad Takes" ive heard so far... def. not the most agrecious ones but the density i find myself disagreeing with alot of the talkingpoints is crazy :D :D still enjoyable
The thing Connor says about youtube automatically playing a short whenever you open the app at 47:25 is absolutely true!! I've experienced it many times and it's such an obvious ploy to catch users into unintentionally endless scrolling of shorts to increase the time they spend on the app. I hate it so much!
It's so therapeutic for me to hear Garnt speak about his ADHD, finally someone who manage to voice how I struggle in life XD Also, Trash Taste, France is waiting for you
It's kind of like building a deck in a trading card game. It's the planning and theory crafting that makes it fun. Then when the actual battle starts, you see the results play out.
Me and Garnt somehow have the complete opposite opinions on trails, I love the music, the amount of characters, the optimization. I really hope he continues playing it tho if he's already finished the first two games.
1:37:00 Welcome to Fire Emblem. These sort of discussions are very common and the general opinion is that you absolutely do not have to play optimally. Even some of the hardest games on the hardest of difficulties have room for messing around with so called "meme units" if you are up for the challenge.
the way they say honkai and not star rail is so confusing for the editors cuz honkai is honkai impact 3d and that star rail is honkai star rail and at this point it's just funny
I don't get it either. They had enough Honkai sponsorings on all of their channels to know that saying Honkai instead of Star Rail is like saying Warcraft instead of Hearthstone.
Its so funny to hear about garnt's notification pain, cuz thats also a massive adhd thing. We often lack object permanence, if the notification is gone, the message doesnt exist anymore
For the movie Air, Michael said that he didnt want to appear, it wasnt a budget problem, he said that he wasnt appearing and that in the story his mom needed to be played by a specific actress or the film wasnt happening
What I see : HI3rd logo What I think : "Hell yeah the bois ACTUALLY know about Honkai 3rd." What I hear : "So Honkai has good turn based system." Atleast use the right thumbnail ffs :/
Hoyoverse been doing great story and music before HSR, Honkai Impact 3rd just didn't get popular enough for the AAA scare Garnt was talking about to be a thing. Hoping HSR gets more people interested in HI3rd, as it boasts incredible music, CG's, characters (includes voice acting) and story. For example, it has one of, if not the best written villain I've personally seen.
Personally for some reason i didn't like playijg through trails in the sky second chapter as well but i really enjoyed the game play of trails in the sky 3rd! Also i would reccomend not looking at guides! Juts go into it and get the spells you want! If a boss fight needs a specific spell change quartz a bit and go at it again. Optimisation is not really necessary in anything but nightmare difficulty and even then it depends on the game and not to a huge degree.
He mentioned about beating the game's intended difficulty when talking about pokemon nuzlocke so he's definitely playing on normal and that's good, He doesn't need to optimize much
Android notifications (lots applies fo iOS too): - you can snooze EVERY notification. Just expand it! - you can read messages in your notification preview without discarding the notification or marking the message as read in the app. Just expand it by pulling down on it. - you can mark messages as unread in some messaging apps like FB. - you can turn on do-not-disturb and all notifications will be held off until you decide to take a look. The "Modes" setting is better tho because you can preconfigure certain presets like driving, work, theater, exercising and decide which notification is to come through in any of these.
I've done both mentally composing a response and forgetting to reply as well as composing the message and forgetting to send it. Always happens right before I fall asleep lmao. I also hate seeing all the red dots of notifications so I open them but don't actually check them out. You aren't alone, Garnt.
@@Zhiel01 I wonder how many people from Spanish-speaking countries listen/watch Trash Taste? I'm from Mexico and I've been following TT from day one (and Gigguk many years before)
I feel like they just looked up “Honkai” to look for pictures of Star Rail and then took the first image they took because I honestly seriously doubt they talked about HI3 considering how criminally underrated and overlooked it is compared to the two other Hoyo games
1:14:07 reminds me of the Reaper in Persona 3. I think the message that pops up is "You hear the sound of chains rattling in the distance..." and you just hear this ominous sound of chains getting louder and louder, and your constantly thinking about where and when he will show up until this grotesque figure glides toward you from the edge of the map. I always found it terrifying especially if I'm under levelled.
24:00 You would have to give the fan translator of the Monogatari series (if you know, you know) loads of credit had painstakingly translated the humour really well such that you can follow along the series, that's why there's a sizable overseas fanbase of the Monogatari series, I feel. Also to top it off with Akiyuki Shimbo's and Shaft's direction in the anime, it became one of the unique anime to have ever existed, controversies and all.
It's good compared to the abysmal entries that the MCU has been pumping out the last few years. But it's still not great. It's just decent. It's rushed and crams too many character arcs to fulfill them all satisfactorily.
Mario was released later in Japan to coincide with Golden Week, just like how in the states the bigger movies are released around 3 day weekends for holidays.
26:36 about the pasta being better in Italy. It's because it's indeed NOT just flour. It's the type and origin of the flour and how it's made. Flour made from wheat that grew in a Mediterranean country tastes and is genetically different from other countries. Each country's soil is different!
Their discussion about the disconnect between English humor and Japanese humor both in anime and movies, is sort of like how in the airport it says "Welcome home" in Japanese, but then it says "Welcome to Japan" in English. Like you're still be welcomed but that extra bit of warmth in the Japanese meaning is lost unless you know Japanese. Now that I'm getting better at Japanese, when I watch an anime i can sometimes pick up on the "shortcuts" the English translations take since it's hard to really convey in a short amount of words the significance of what's being said in Japanese.
HI3 is probably my favourite game, storywise, of all time. So please don't use it for your thumbnail if you're going to talk about Honkai: Star Rail only. >:( Say what you will of me, but that's a pretty miffing clickbait. Update: it seems that a certain someone just doesn't know that Honkai: Star Rail exists and that they meant HI3.
Doesn't help that they pull up the Honkai 3rd image as they start talking about it.. Aaadn then it turns out to be about Star Rail. Which is good, sure, but the story in Honkai 3rd is much more developed and satisfying
Mudan probobly looked up "honkai" and put it on screen. It doesn't help that Garnt refers to starrail as honkai either, so if you're just an editor who has no idea what their talking about, you don't know the difference.
As a neigbour to Italy, I can confirm everything Connor said haha An italian guy who gave us a lift after a concert literally told us word for word "the rules are a suggestion" when I didn't have a seatbelt and I told him even the police crossed solid lines and took turns where they weren't allowed to without indicating. Literally everyone has at least one duct-taped part on their car. But they are also chill on the road, not rowdy. The north has a shit ton of those insane 4 lane roundabouts and our old bus stalled in the middle of it and I don't think we got a single honk. Italy truly has a blessed mediterranean vibe, that's why I visit there so often. No other pizza and pasta style in the world can even compare!
I love the fact-check fields sliding in to give context. Please more of it, so i dont have to look up myself weather or not the bois are spitting some "imprecise" facts. :D
Garnt: No Italians watch us!
me: pretty sure it's because of your "I don't eat pizza crust" take, Garnt
and because connor declared war on italy
ngl I've seen a lot of Italians not eating their crust
Tbh Italians probably don't eat Domino's type pizza at all, nevermind the crust. Like Japanese people don't eat Costco sushi. In that sense I feel like Garnt is actually closer to them, in not accepting something that's of poorer quality.
@@destituteanddecadent9106 we made Domino's fail in Italy, they couldn't hold a candle to our pizza game

"The story is fascinating."
Connor caring about story in a videogame? Wow, this must really be something special.
He also say elden ring has a great story. I am assuming he enjoy the exploration and find out kind of story, not the cutscene kind of story.
@@jimchad9900 yeah, sounds like he much prefers games where you can find lore just by exploring instead of the usual "heres a main mission to do"
In this episode Garnt wants to go to Italy for Pizza crusts and also realized Incest is weird. We are shifting to the dark timeline.
Oh and Connor liked an RPG. What the fuck.
I think he likes lore, not story/cutscenes overall

I am a total notification clearing nazi. I set my phone to give me text notification reminders, and it's a godsend.

If Garnt ever visits Italy, he's gonna learn very quickly that expresso is not the way you pronounce espresso.
I like the little notecards edited in for when the bois inevitably go off on a tangent.
The maker of Fear and Hunger actually wrote their Bachelors work of mediastudies about horror on video games using their own game as the main example / frsmework

Connor failed to mention that the game has a mechanic for phobias, and during his run he got panophobia, which absolutely F'd every battle encounter for him
What's panophobia?
Sheee my mans afraid of pans, bro.. kappa
@Fishman Ah, Zenitsu
I don't really get it, do fears affect your gameplay anyway? I played it, and I got Erotophobia, it's just the same to me
@Shatterknife The phobias affect your accuracy and evasion against certain kinds of enemies. Necrophobia gives a debuff against undead as an example. Panophobia is a fear of everything, so Connor had a very shitty experience in his run LOL.
I’m Italian and I watch you guys 🥲🇮🇹
Love to hear Connor appreciate our food, after his take on pizza haha and I also think that we have some things in common with SEA, some aspects are very relatable.
As an italian, I not only watch you but I'm willing to pay any amount of money for a trash taste special detailing a trip to Italy of the three of you.

I totally get what Garnt is saying about the nostalgia thing. Not only that, film easter eggs no longer feel like easter eggs. They’re practically forced down your throat. Modern Star Wars films and shows are a perfect example of this. Trailers utilize nostalgic themes to get your emotions going and the films are littered with obvious throw backs to prior films. Cameo’s of either random characters from previous stories or straight up random celebrity appearances. It’s all over Hollywood. Nostalgia seems to be a very bankable issue.
And yet they still only liked the Mario movie because of nostalgia
Yeah. The star wars was the worst offender for me but now a days, everyone is using it.

Wow, Connor just repeating what's popular on Twitter again instead of having an original opinion.
What a shock...
given marvel's track record since end game, it's fair that the other two boys were skeptical. but i do feel that it's a legitimately good show, even outside of the marvel franchise. the animal abuse theme was hella strong though.

TH-cam randomly plays a short when you open it it's annoying as hell
Does it? Never happened to me personally. It really only happens to me if I play a short, then close the app, and open it again later on. That's not to say that it doesn't happen to anyone else.
@@FrenchDinosaur But the thing is if you're just playing a normal video, then close youtube and open it, it dosent play another video but it does that for shorts for some reason
Yeah same, but I am guessing it's because I closed the TH-cam app when I was done watching shorts, or maybe the app is bonker.
I thought the app wanted to hook me into watching shorts. So i said f you and stopped watching random shorts
@@IR-Fannope, I've gotten so annoyed with it that I kept testing it💀 even if I'm watching a regular video and close the app, if I'm just scrolling through the recommendation page or explore page and close the app, if I force shut down the app: it always opens up to the shorts page playing a random short😮💨
I've never been more confused listening to an explanation for a game than Connor talking about Fear and Hunger

Who is this guy and what has he done with our boy Cdawg

Grant first bringing up trails is what made me play it and it’s become my favourite game series of all time. Really funny now that I couldn’t disagree more with his feelings on it lol
Same I’m halfway through Sky 3
Weirdest take was that he felt that reading guides made the combat complicated when the game isn't making him do that. Like I would get it if he thought it was too slow, but complicated? You did it to yourself man.
@@ItisThatGuy exactly. perhaps its a perfectionism thing to get the most optimized build for each mission, but for the majority of the game (at least from what ive played), you can grind to meet the appropriate level. otherwise, if you're anything like me, you can cheese through turn based games while underleveled using items, skills that cover as many elements as possible, and cheesy util skills. its all on garnt if he wants to overcomplicate the game by reading guides. guides are only there for the people who want to use them and find pleasure in prepping.
Bro, Guardians is the Galaxy 3 was so freakin amazing imo. Literally the first movie I watched in theaters that gave me such a happy feeling when I was done

@therebornjuker7165 if you mean the first marvel movies when you said OG. When it comes to Marvel movies, i did start them real late. The first Marvel movie I watched and saw in theaters was actually End Game. Kinda silly to start at the end at the time lol but my friends really wanted to watch it. Then from December 2019 through 2020. I watched all the movies in timeline order.

Not to mention I still feel like the old fan subs translated things in a way I enjoyed more.
Those helped me appreciate gintamas jokes more!
You guys really need to have Super Eyepatch Wolf on as a TT guest. It would be epic.
I have some news for you.....
Lol
During that Fear & Hunger segment, after a while ALL of their descriptions just started to sound like how real life feels like.
How “it’s not hard, you just have to know certain things”, and that as long as you’re lucky enough to have a guide (Connor’s twitch chat or a guide online) to tell you about things you could never have found out on your own, you can dramatically decrease your hardship.
So often in life people are not happy or can’t seem to get a break all because they were not privileged enough to be born into stable conditions with enough material resources, stable families or environment to help them (or just give them avenues for salvation) or they just didn’t have any way to get prior information about things and had to brutally go through trial and error to survive when if they had that one thing that so many other people are privileged enough to have, they wouldn’t have need to have suffered for however many years.
That is IF they survive, cuz the majority that are dealt a shitty hand just end up in the absolute gutter with no one to help them. No government, no family, no society, no friends. I know it’s just a game but it just hit me way too hard. But imagine, the boys and many others feel stressed and just immediately don’t want to play that game just hearing the descriptions, being stuck to that basically just being your whole entire life… feels soul-crushing
Just started listening to the rest of the game’s description with that analogy to life in mind and it’s fun (/s) to realize how accurate it is
Man, that hits a bit too close to home. I wasn't expecting anything that deep when scrolling through the comments
Garnt not liking the music in Trails is genuinely mindblowing to me. Falcom Sound Team jdk is incredible. Also, you don't need to build each character perfectly to get through any Trails game, what? Just play how you want to, the story is worth it 100%
I'm assuming he's the type who likes upbeat, uplifting battle themes, and while the Sky series has a very decent, nice collection of JRPG tracks (that I mostly associate with a very peaceful, tranquil feeling), I'd say the really strong, thrilling tracks start to pop up from the point of the Crossbell saga on, and since he only played the first two Sky games so far, he wouldn't even know what great variation the music this series can still offer.
@@thaumana8489 Can't wait for him to react to Azure Arbitrator, also i think the Cop drama is right up his alley
Yea that also confused me. Trails is not a game that requires or needs a lot of tweaking of characters in the menu like say Xenoblade (and even XC has auto equip feature); most characters have set quartz paths with set roles.
I have only played Trails in the Sky FC and SC and while I don’t think it has a top-tier OST it definitely has some great songs like Zeiss and the title theme for FC.
@@thaumana8489 man trails sky battle ost is such a bangers and trails zero too
you need to understand that this is a podcast that has vested interest in Honkai's success, considering their involvement and their sponsors. This is them being paid to shill while trying to pull it off as an objective view.
No idea if Garnt is gonna continue playing the Trails series but the character customization gets simplified a lot in future games.
To be honest I have no idea what guide he was following since I have played 8 of the Trails games and never had the need to look up how to build characters to beat the game, the only real use for guides in my opinion is for the hidden sidequests.
yah lol idk why he looking at the build and sht the game is just too ez like for me i just spam aoe all skills on Kloe and they are just dying left and right for me i think he just wants a linear jrpg like turn off his brain and just want to see the story and i have some moments like that too
Really hope he doesn’t drop the series just cause he didn’t feel the gameplay at first. He definitely needs to finish sky the third at the bare minimum I say. I just hope the story is enough for him to keep playing the games.
@@Wallie33. At least with the later games (especially the coldsteel games) you can stack gladiator accessories and just heavily abuse crafts, so that makes the games much easier.
@@willdum1 Indeed, he might enjoy the gameplay more on cold steel cause of that.
I mean all of his problem with the combat is optional, you can enjoy and beat the game without looking guides in the most scuffed builds
47:20 No you're not crazy. This has been happening with me for over two weeks. I know for sure because I refuse to watch shorts and whenever I opened the app and it automatically ran a short, it annoyed me alot.
It kind of depresses me that now, when people talk about "Honkai", they're referring to Star Rail, rather than Honkai Impact 3rd :/
they're just newcomers who don't know what the term is used for. Honkai or HI3 is commonly refer to Honkai Impact as it has been for years. Star Rail or HSR is for Star Rail. It's that simple.
Heck, they don't even know the difference between the two games, like when they showed Honkai thumbnail image instead of Star Rail at 1:25:41
I knew Garnt had been playing Star Rail so wasn't that interested, but then I saw HI3 on the thumbnail and was wondering how on earth I'd missed seeing any reaction clips. I should have guessed.
@@MugiwaraRyu I mean they are sponsored to play it, which is an obligation over a hobby. So they maybe stream it for a few hours for one or 2 days, cuz let’s be realistic, they don’t have time to go in depth for every game sponsors they have. Since genshin and star rail are the biggest fads it makes sense for them to play it out of curiosity
it depresses me that they are talking about it at all 💀
@@justanobody7374 Well it is a Gacha Game Episode
for the trails thing garnt was going on about (around 1:30:00 ish) as someone who is 5 games in so far unless you play on the harder difficulties you dont need to mess with the builds too much, for the most part ive just messed around with equipment when i got somthing obviously better or as needed by area (anti poison item for area with tons of poison etc)
Connor’s movie takes are wild man.
Italian fan here! ❤ I can't be the only one! I hoped the boys would have come here for the tour as well 😢
I don't know if I'm the only one with that reaction, but I fail to understand their point and complaint about "complex" turn-based combat.
To follow the games they mention, Fire Emblem and Trails, yes there are guides that go over "optimal builds" in detail, but... nobody said you need to follow these guides. Both franchises are perfectly beatable without using strategy guides, because the games themselves already teach you how to manage your combat. You can simply play the game as is, with some trial and error along the way. At worst, you'll look up how to beat a difficult chapter/boss. All I used guides for in Trails 1 was for 2 bosses and making sure I didn't miss any chest.
I feel they let the surprise they had about some hyper-detailed guides cloud their judgment and make them believe you can't play the game without them. Please correct me if I sound way off.
Sounds about right. The main "complexity" of the older trails games is probably how one unlocks spells, but you can beat the game with almost any loadout as long as you make sure your physical damage is enough to smash things and you have decent coverage (some enemies have elemental weaknesses but even the "lower tier" spells can hit hard)
As someone who adores the sephith/quartz system in the early Trails games, Garnt’s complaints had me triggered haha
Yeah, I don't think it is as complicated as how he described it. I played Sky years ago and I don't feel like I needed that much prep. I think it is easy to tell which character satisfies each role.
The quartz system in cold steel is much more basic compared to sky/crossbell. I think because cold steel was trying to appeal to the Garnt audience, it simplified the system. Ofc, cold steel also implemented the link, bravepoint, overdrive, and break systems, so I forgive it for simplifying the quartz system. Its just that it was really fun in sky/crossbell.
Did Garnt play Trails on nightmare or something? I don't remember having to get that crazy with the quartz. Once in a while you'll come across a boss that uses like... petrifying abilities so you use the "dont get petrified amulet" but thats about it.
Garnt and Joey are decision paralysis type gamers. Joey’s ‘I’ve only played Three Houses’ Engage rant makes that clear
Its ironic that the team behind star rails are massive fans of Trails lol.
"having too many characters is bad for the game"
Joey this is Fire Emblem
You need characters
Ah yes the Gacha episode. Can't wait to see what Garnt has to say on this episode.
Edit: So now that I have watched the video, I agree with Garnt on the Honkai take. It basically dumbed down the turn based combat system and made it very flashier to make it much more accessible to the casual audience. However, I also do think that after a while, a lot of players who want more complexity from the game will eventually get bored of it. It happened with Genshin. The music though, Amazing!
I really wish the bois would go back and check up on Arknights again. We've been getting some really crazy music for our boss stages recently.
You mean the shill episode
Ah shit here we go again
Don't care
For me genshin's combat system was deep. Not skillwise but the rabbithole of genshin combat's nuances gets pretty deep, look at kqm theorycrafting library. Cant say the same for hsr tho.
@@melzick5086 I guess you can say there are a lot of different mechanics at play there. But essentially, a lot of them do basically the same thing with different animations and effects and varying numbers. The problem here is that at the core, it's very simple and the gameplay loop just isn't satisfying enough to keep it going. Look at Honkai Impact 3rd for example, its got a very nuanced and in depth combat system along with varying degrees of element effectiveness and counters. But it's something that the casual player cannot just pick up and play. HSR on the other side feels like it has a lot of depth to it's combat to the first time players. But to those who have been long time turn based players, I don't think it's something they'd actively enjoy. And I can see that it definitely loses it's charm somewhere down the line for a lot of the current players as well.
kinda sad how honkai 3rd is just forgotten because of star rail, both games have genuienly incredible stories
And thumbnail is literally Honkai 3rd
Yp till date HI3 has the best story Star Rail has the potential to surpass it but it remains to be seen. For now, the main advantage of HSR other than superior graphics is that its plot is interesting from the get-go while HI3 took a while to get rolling.
Can't be forgotten when most of these new players probably never knew about Honkai in the first place. Eventually Star Rail players will find their way to Honkai. Like Genshin players did, but probably more so since Star Rail is even more related to Honkai than Genshin.
@@MC-ku4zz when did HI started to kick off? when they use Himeko as glorified fodder? or before that?
@@Frozen_Potata it does lack some impact in the dialogue but the universe/universes and setting are amazing.

Exactly this! People who play AAA games alone don't understand. I have still not completed Elden Ring because I simply don't have the time to sit down and focus on the game. I play Genshin and have not spent any money on it but it still gives me something to do every day for half an hour or so with actually good graphics

Love it
They were talking about Honkai Star Rail, but the thumbnail and the pop-up on the episode showed Honkai Impact 3rd.
Goddamn two ass takes in one episode. GOTG 3 was great and the villian was incredible it wasnt just "screaming" and Garnt the TLOU game does a way better job at telling the story than the show. the show was damn good but it was like watching a speedrun of the game. The pacing felt a bit fast towards the end and with the game it has more time for the player to connect to the characters so when joel does the thing in the hospital its more tragic. So yeah the show is good but the game is still better
Lol no, GoTG 3 wasn't great, it was okay like Connor correctly pointed out and most critics agree with him. And the villain fucking sucked. You're going to forget him in like a week.
@@za-ir5ni 💀what critics are you looking at cause from what ive seen is critics like it alot and i defiently will not forget aboutthe villain in a week. the way he was potrayed as just a bad person was a good change of pace from the trend of villains being sympatic

@@za-ir5ni "no ones gonna remember him for years to come" ohh shut up u cornball.
I get that the system in Trails in the Sky can be complicated, as you need to have a specific number of combinations of Quartz to be able to use certain arts. The system in changes in Trails of Cold Steel and beyond. The more recent games have also changed the gameplay to a hybrid style, where you can switch between action and turn-based.
Yup. Some die-hard fellow fans always cling to the importance to play the games in chronological order for a "rewarding" experience, but often times I just figured that one should know the people you want to recommend this series well enough and see if they are usually not into the very classical, somewhat slow-paced, traditional turn-based combat system and thus rather try to recommend them the modern installments of the Trails series like Cold Steel. I feel the success rate to sell them on the series is a bit higher with the modern parts of the series as they have added more comfort gameplay elements that make them stick to the lengthy games in the first place, which then can work well as introduction to the rest if they become more interested after their first playthrough.
@@thaumana8489 Yeah this was my case for me and if I started with Sky instead, 90% sure i would've dropped the series, Im now waiting for Kuro 2 instead and damn i didn't expect that when playing for the first time with a mindset "ok lemme try this one niche jrpg"
@@kentstopme true i totally understand that if you have a work or a priority in life.. its not that worth to feel that rewarding expirience but if you have a lot of time why not give it a try i think it will hold a special place in your heart if you do that
The action segment is just a glorified ambush attack, though kuro 2 did hint it might become something bigger in 3
That button up makes Garnt look like he just walked off the set of MASH 😂
he on that stolen valor drip
Garnt, what on earth are you doing in Trails? 😂I slot in some quartz at the beginning and adjust those once or twice and you can get through the game on normal just fine! You don't have to do anything with character builds at all! Cold Steel did streamline the combat system a lot so I wonder what he'll think of that if he ever makes it there...
I get that Connor doesn't care for story but it's so interesting to me that for him a game needs to be difficult to enjoy it. The dark souls games are some of my favorite games but I love a lot of other games that aren't designed to make you struggle.
1:18 I almost cried tears of joy when I thought Joey was going to say Arcane.
Instead, I am crying tears of sadness and disappointment.
I knew someone was gonna think that.
I don't care about him trying to look "unique"
ME TOO. At this point i want season 2 to come out not for myself to watch it, but for him to get to watching s1
I don't want to assume, but maybe Joey doesn't want to watch Arcane since he just doesn't care about League of Legends. Sure, people say it has incredible writing, animation, etc, but if someone just doesn't find the premise interesting, anyone would find it a hard sell.
Imagine Connor's reaction if you recommended him an absolutely incredible new airing show with great acting, writing, action, etc... And then imagine the look on his face when you tell him it's about the Bible. You know, that book his childhood made him apathetic towards. I doubt he'd be all that interested after hearing that.
I'm probably wrong and Joey has some other reasons, but that's just my impression.
Same thought here. For him to miss such a masterpiece just he don't want to join the hype... so sad
Guardians Vol3 was such a good film. And yeah I’ve gotten what Connor talked about where you open YT on mobile and it opens straight into a short.
Also I’ve never been able to stick with a Gacha game for more than a week. Only made it an hour into Genshin. Honkai Star Rail though weirdly works for me
I've been playing genshin impact for 2 years and Played Star rail for short time because I wanted to see the hype.

The thing Connor says about youtube automatically playing a short whenever you open the app at 47:25 is absolutely true!!

the different builds for characters is the fun part of turn base. I might be a lunatic for liking those types of games.
It's kind of like building a deck in a trading card game. It's the planning and theory crafting that makes it fun. Then when the actual battle starts, you see the results play out.
Me and Garnt somehow have the complete opposite opinions on trails, I love the music, the amount of characters, the optimization. I really hope he continues playing it tho if he's already finished the first two games.
1:37:00 Welcome to Fire Emblem. These sort of discussions are very common and the general opinion is that you absolutely do not have to play optimally. Even some of the hardest games on the hardest of difficulties have room for messing around with so called "meme units" if you are up for the challenge.

For the movie Air, Michael said that he didnt want to appear, it wasnt a budget problem, he said that he wasnt appearing and that in the story his mom needed to be played by a specific actress or the film wasnt happening
That's fair it is about him after all
What I see : HI3rd logo
What I think : "Hell yeah the bois ACTUALLY know about Honkai 3rd."
What I hear : "So Honkai has good turn based system."
Atleast use the right thumbnail ffs :/
Hoyoverse been doing great story and music before HSR, Honkai Impact 3rd just didn't get popular enough for the AAA scare Garnt was talking about to be a thing. Hoping HSR gets more people interested in HI3rd, as it boasts incredible music, CG's, characters (includes voice acting) and story.
For example, it has one of, if not the best written villain I've personally seen.
“Himeko smiles at you and says no more”
What is the name of the villain?plsss
As a Honkai Impact player, hearing people referring to Star Rail as Honkai confuses me.
it's so funny when Garnt is talking about something and Connor interrupts with his own life lmao
I want a blind coffee tasting episode now. It'll be hilarious when one of the top ones is an American brand.
Personally for some reason i didn't like playijg through trails in the sky second chapter as well but i really enjoyed the game play of trails in the sky 3rd!
Also i would reccomend not looking at guides! Juts go into it and get the spells you want! If a boss fight needs a specific spell change quartz a bit and go at it again. Optimisation is not really necessary in anything but nightmare difficulty and even then it depends on the game and not to a huge degree.
He mentioned about beating the game's intended difficulty when talking about pokemon nuzlocke so he's definitely playing on normal and that's good, He doesn't need to optimize much
I love how Connor speaking about Italy gives me Greece flashbacks 😂
Android notifications (lots applies fo iOS too):
- you can snooze EVERY notification. Just expand it!
- you can read messages in your notification preview without discarding the notification or marking the message as read in the app. Just expand it by pulling down on it.
- you can mark messages as unread in some messaging apps like FB.
- you can turn on do-not-disturb and all notifications will be held off until you decide to take a look. The "Modes" setting is better tho because you can preconfigure certain presets like driving, work, theater, exercising and decide which notification is to come through in any of these.
I've done both mentally composing a response and forgetting to reply as well as composing the message and forgetting to send it. Always happens right before I fall asleep lmao. I also hate seeing all the red dots of notifications so I open them but don't actually check them out. You aren't alone, Garnt.
Garnt: Why aren't we goin to Italy, man?
Connor: Cause no Italians watch us!
Me: *cries in most likely the only Bulgarian watching Trash Taste ever.
:0
*cries in latino watcher
@@Zhiel01 I wonder how many people from Spanish-speaking countries listen/watch Trash Taste? I'm from Mexico and I've been following TT from day one (and Gigguk many years before)
I feel like they just looked up “Honkai” to look for pictures of Star Rail and then took the first image they took because I honestly seriously doubt they talked about HI3 considering how criminally underrated and overlooked it is compared to the two other Hoyo games
They have been sponsored by HI3 during the Herscher of Human banner
Haven't U seen their stream? They literally play it
@@nishant4500 This person is talking about Honkai Impact 3rd, the Trash Taste boys are playing Honkai: Star Rail.
@@nishant4500 no they literally haven't. They played Star Rail (HSR) not Honkai (HI3).
the gayer honkai, not in terms of relationship, but in the fact that Turn Based is fucking ass.
>Talks about Honkai Star Rail
>Puts Honkai Impact 3rd image
Putting the Honkai name on Star Rail was indeed a mistake 💀
1:14:07 reminds me of the Reaper in Persona 3. I think the message that pops up is "You hear the sound of chains rattling in the distance..." and you just hear this ominous sound of chains getting louder and louder, and your constantly thinking about where and when he will show up until this grotesque figure glides toward you from the edge of the map. I always found it terrifying especially if I'm under levelled.
24:00 You would have to give the fan translator of the Monogatari series (if you know, you know) loads of credit had painstakingly translated the humour really well such that you can follow along the series, that's why there's a sizable overseas fanbase of the Monogatari series, I feel. Also to top it off with Akiyuki Shimbo's and Shaft's direction in the anime, it became one of the unique anime to have ever existed, controversies and all.
So nice to hear Connor talking about northern Italy! Sad I didn't bump into him
Imma keep it 100% with you Connor. Guardians 3 was a REALLY good movie. I have no idea what you are on about.
It's good compared to the abysmal entries that the MCU has been pumping out the last few years. But it's still not great. It's just decent. It's rushed and crams too many character arcs to fulfill them all satisfactorily.
@@za-ir5ni it's great lmao touch grass
@@tomgu2285 It's not. Watch EFAP's breakdown
Mario was released later in Japan to coincide with Golden Week, just like how in the states the bigger movies are released around 3 day weekends for holidays.
26:36 about the pasta being better in Italy. It's because it's indeed NOT just flour. It's the type and origin of the flour and how it's made. Flour made from wheat that grew in a Mediterranean country tastes and is genetically different from other countries. Each country's soil is different!
Joeys hair is moving mad with that random piece of hair I can't unsee it 😂
Everytime I hear someone say "eXpresso" a part of my soul dies. I'll be in ginger levels after this one.
Connor can somehow make even the most interesting game idea sound like a slog with how many tangents his explanations have
47:55 that behaviour is something the American gen z are trying to bring back. As a gen z this is so annoying
"No italians watch us"
IM STANDING HERE CRYING BECAUSE YOU DONT COME HERE ON TOUR AAGH😫
Their discussion about the disconnect between English humor and Japanese humor both in anime and movies, is sort of like how in the airport it says "Welcome home" in Japanese, but then it says "Welcome to Japan" in English. Like you're still be welcomed but that extra bit of warmth in the Japanese meaning is lost unless you know Japanese. Now that I'm getting better at Japanese, when I watch an anime i can sometimes pick up on the "shortcuts" the English translations take since it's hard to really convey in a short amount of words the significance of what's being said in Japanese.
HI3 is probably my favourite game, storywise, of all time.
So please don't use it for your thumbnail if you're going to talk about Honkai: Star Rail only. >:(
Say what you will of me, but that's a pretty miffing clickbait.
Update: it seems that a certain someone just doesn't know that Honkai: Star Rail exists and that they meant HI3.
Yeah it's unfortunate that when people talk about Honkai these days, quite a few are likely forgetting HI3
Editor showed Honkai Impact 3rd but I think they're maybe talking about Honkai Star Rail
I was so excited seeing honkai in the thumbnail until they started talking about star rail instead
Doesn't help that they pull up the Honkai 3rd image as they start talking about it.. Aaadn then it turns out to be about Star Rail. Which is good, sure, but the story in Honkai 3rd is much more developed and satisfying
same😭
Mudan probobly looked up "honkai" and put it on screen. It doesn't help that Garnt refers to starrail as honkai either, so if you're just an editor who has no idea what their talking about, you don't know the difference.
As a neigbour to Italy, I can confirm everything Connor said haha
An italian guy who gave us a lift after a concert literally told us word for word "the rules are a suggestion" when I didn't have a seatbelt and I told him even the police crossed solid lines and took turns where they weren't allowed to without indicating.
Literally everyone has at least one duct-taped part on their car.
But they are also chill on the road, not rowdy. The north has a shit ton of those insane 4 lane roundabouts and our old bus stalled in the middle of it and I don't think we got a single honk.
Italy truly has a blessed mediterranean vibe, that's why I visit there so often. No other pizza and pasta style in the world can even compare!
I love the fact-check fields sliding in to give context. Please more of it, so i dont have to look up myself weather or not the bois are spitting some "imprecise" facts. :D
