![]() The artstyle in the manga is all over the place, the panels are overcrowded with excessive information, and the narration is bad. The 's not bad, but it's one of those times where the anime is actually better than the manga, although the manga REALLY improves all of this later on. I'll be talking about the anime because I watched it first. Since there's no real story, there's also no real worldbuilding - essentially each story arc could be considered as a separate "world" because nothing ties the events and locations together except for the fact that Jing and Kir have travelled there. Now this is where Rose (the girl from chapter/episode 2) comes in (and the main problem with my story that I want to write). ![]() We never learn who his mother is, or what does the crystal from the first chapter mean to Jing, even though these secrets are highlighted a couple of times. Like, aside from one flashback story arc, we never get to know anything about who Jing is. The lack of a "bigger" story (like in Naruto or One Piece) really hurts the narration in the long run because you can't really get attached to any of the new characters since they'll be gone in the next story arc (each 2-3 episodes/chapters).Īlso, since Jing and Kir are rather static protagonists, they don't really change either. ![]() Even so, the episodic story style is what is probably kept the King Jing manga/anime from getting really big. However, the manga more than makes up for it with the stellar artwork, creative artstyle and touching moral messages. If someone isn't familiar with the story, it basically boils down to this - Jing and his albatross sidekick Kir arrive to a new location in search of treasure, then they meet a girl who helps them with finding the treasure, defeat the villain of the day, get the treasure, leave all their newly made friends behind and disappear as they go to a new location to find new treasure, rinse and repeat.Īs you can see, the plot is VERY formulaic especially since there's almost no overarching storyline - the manga hints at Jing's past a couple of time and we even get to see his childhood in a few chapters, but it's never really explored or explained properly. ![]() Just saying, I'm no professional author or something, just a big fan of King of Bandit Jing.Īs some of you may have known, "King of Bandit Jing" is an anime (released in 2002) based on a Japanese manga that ran in a Kodansha manga magazine from 1995 to 2005 (including the sequel - King Jing Twilight Tales). I realize that in 2019(heh, now 2020) the King Jing fandom is probably pretty much dead but I don't really care since this is more of a passion project if anything. Normally I wouldn't have written anything like this rant but the story wouldn't really make any sense out of context that I feel I need to provide since King of Bandit Jing isn't exactly a popular anime, especially nowadays. Before continuing the story, I need to say something about this series. Sorry for not updating this story and - no, I haven't completely abandoned it.

“Identity is what underlies most people’s retention of at least some of their local features,” said Clive Upton, professor emeritus of English language at the University of Leeds, “because ultimately what we say is who we are. The first part of this series explored Josh Katz’s NYT Dialect Quiz and touched on some data science topics such as parameter space and lazy algorithms. These dialect markers are so ingrained into people’s sense of self that they tend to persist well after they move away from home. Take the quiz here It isnt very long and its legitimately interesting to see how dialects overlap. Education, gender, age, ethnicity and other social variables influence speech patterns, too. The way that people speak - the particular words they use and how they sound - is deeply tied to their sense of identity. The rubric, however, gives a more nuanced account: My inititial view was that you acquire your accent/pronunciation from the other children you go to school with, but I don’t know whether that applies quite so definitively to vocabulary. Take the 25-question test, with somewhat randomized questions, based on the Harvard Dialect Survey, and see your. What does the way you speak say about where you’re from Answer the questions to see your personal dialect map. ![]() Here’s my map, below, and I urge you to take the quiz yourself to see yours. Do you say soda or pop Take our dialect quiz to see how the way you speak says a lot about where you are from. The quiz is 25 questions and, using your responses, the Times shows you a heatmap of where people with similar responses live. For its ability to tell you a story about yourself while also drawing a limitless set of maps of cultural geography that, nearly a decade after publication, still delights new readers today, How Y’all, Youse and You Guys Talk wins a Peabody.Of course, it also helps if you read what it says, which is The map shows places where answers most closely match your own, based on more than…respondents who said they were from Ireland or Britain. Learning about this weird quirk of language was fun, but how I learned about it was even better: the New York Times’ U.S. The project quickly became what was at the time the most-viewed piece of content in New York Times history. What started as a personal side project of Josh Katz as an extension of his graduate school research was used by tens of millions of visitors over the span of a few weeks after publication, at times receiving so much traffic that the project’s server became overwhelmed. The map shows the multifaceted nature of American culture and identity through the use of language - organic regions that don’t neatly fit within state lines. The map makes a few guesses at individual cities and then radiates a heatmap out of the region it associates most with the language you use.

What are some example questions from the Dialect Quiz The quiz may ask questions such as: What do you call a sweetened carbonated beverage or How do you. I found this Dialect quiz at The New York Times. Now a graphics editor, Katz harnessed the overwhelming response to that quiz to create Speaking American, an extraordinary and beautiful tour through the American vernacular. An earlier version of this quiz misstated the amount Fox News agreed to pay to settle a defamation.

Tom Wright-Piersanti, Lauren Hard and the staff of the Morning. ![]() I am waiting for a chance to test this, but the tiny fires I get so far tends to be put out too fast. If there is a fire in the airlock area (assume all doors to rest of the ship has vent closed), can I put it out by opening the vent (into space)?īy extension, if there is a way to safely toggle the vents in the doors of the ship such that it connects to the airlock room (and hopefully nobody in the way), can I theoretically put out any fire by opening the airlock vent? In the airlock (the one that crafts dock/trade with), there is a vent option that supposedly connect to space. Just curious, but have not had the opportunity to try it out yet. Originally posted by Eagle_of_Fire:Draft your crewmember, right click on the fire. What I wish, though, is to be able to set priority for each power-drawing device, so that we can switch to lower power modes by progressively turning off lower priority devices using a macro interface. Otherwise, it will just prolong the misery. The whole idea, though is that it gives you a little time to try to rectify your power source problems (unless you can implement option 2). Then wait for an extended power shortage (or just disconnect your generators) for testing.
![]() So they resent NTR, because any game with optional NTR treats it as the wrong path, where you made the wrong choices. And I think the answer is simple, NTR feels like a game over - you fucked up, your love interest was fucked by somebody (in this case even raped) and you did nothing about it. But really, you can't even find a little understanding for those who don't enjoy ntr? And I'm not saying here that it's pure evil and shall be purged, I'm not here to attack anybody who has the kink - but rather to ask the question why would somebody not enjoy NTR. Just trying to explain my perspective.Click to expand.It is overreaction, that much we can be certain of. Others have politely ask if it can be made avoidable and I'm fine with that. Like I've said in previous post can't he just ask the dev to make it avoidable before quitting on the game altogether? I'm thinking of the dev seeing that post with 70 likes and considering scrapping ntr altogether. All I was saying was do you have to get so angry? like I said he played for 7 min based in the time between his posts, so he couldn't have been very invested. ![]() They played the very first version of the game for about 7 mins (so I don't think he could have been very emotionally invested in the story or characters yet) before posting "fuck this shit.NTR tag delete forget buh bye thread."and this post got 60-70 likes. The main post I was referring to is on the first page, he made the very first post in the tread as well(I haven't quoted the post to avoid them coming back because I didn't want to start a fight). I apologize if I came off like I was attacking all non-ntr fan. Then some of the first comments you see are something like "fuck this shit, rage quit and deleted, never coming back to this thread!" Really? Straight to boycotting the dev after playing the first version? Can't they just say "Hey, I don't want to see any ntr, can you make it avoidable?" There are tons of games without it and very few with it, and it seems like when one pops up, the masses of haters show up to try to kill it. It's kinda frustrating for some of us to see a new game with something like ntr (there aren't many) and think "oh, this could be fun". Just saying maybe people can tone down their emotions a bit. You make a good point, I see where you're coming from. But sometimes I want to see my "landlady" and "roommates" get blackmailed into some rough bondage group sex with my neighbor Old Man Johnson and his dog. I'm not even that into ntr, most games I play and enjoy are the slow burn romance type where I woo the shy innocent girl and have a beautiful relationship with her (and her friends and family of course). Why bother playing that title when u always lose and never get a piece of the actionĬlick to expand. it got nothing to do with insecurity or paranoia, a forced NTR feels like losing is your main objective. ![]() Many non-NTR players (myself included) don't mind the NTR if it's avoidable. there's players who want the ladies for themselves or don't mind to share and there's players who for some reason enjoy to cuck the shit out of the MC. some dudes are cool with the result and don't give a shit others are kinda sensitive. you know it's just a game and you can't change the result if u throw the controller/keyboard out the window but you do it cause it pisses you off when the other player trolls you. u know what I mean ? It's a reaction to the situation at hand. It's kinda funny, but an angry reaction to NTR is no different from an angry reaction to when u lose when playing with your boys titles like FIFA, NFL, UFC, Battlefield, CoD etc. Or you can simply say different people, different tastes. Some people who play these games want the MC to be an actual MC (not a beta pussy) and make shit happen or you can say they identify themselves with the protagonist.
