I know the Japanese pretty much outdistance non-Japanese from themselves regardless of how long they lived there or how good they are with the language, more on just a factual thing than anything else. But I just say that from the little I know, I'm totally oblivious about any interpersonal issues regarding nationality in eastern Asia. If anyone here knows, how DO Hong Kong and the Chinese territorial region handle non-Chinese people living within the cities? I mean it's probably a case-to-case basis and there can't be a generalisation but there has to be some anecdotes around here on that.

Never been to Mainland China but spent a fair amount of time in Hong Kong. It definitely feels very welcoming to Europeans and the British influence plays a part. My own experiences is kind of being a white person equates to money. So on a random night out I managed to get into clubs with like trainers and trackies on after going to the gym. You would never get away with that in any club in Glasgow. I guess the same cant be said for Filipino people.. Also even people in HK don't seem to even like main landers all that much. They often complain about their poor manners and stealing school places. I always get the feeling that Hong Kongers(sic) are proud to be Chinese but definetly think they are better, which is probably true but makes them seem arrogant. But wonder if anyone else has a different take, someone who lives there, though I'm going to Shenzhen next week which is 45 mins away from HK!

The conversation in here was fantastic to follow, thanks for being informative you guys.  While Rossi gets moved into his new place, let's shake some dust off with stream recordings. The first big chunk of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, from 7/23 The... the fanfic reading.  The gradually being uploaded Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina DLC segment Sorry about the continuing lack of Sleeping Dogs, guys. Hopefully soon Rossi and I will have a chance to get something done, I really want this next couple videos to be with him but unfortunately neither one of us has been in the best position to do anything about them lately.

HAH, so you did buy Sonic & All-Stars Racing. Shame I don't have it on Steam or a controller for the PC or I'd have played along. You're welcome  seriously, isn't the music loving boss in that game?

Thanks for the rec- I think I mentioned at the time, but it sure looked like it would just wind up being another cheap cash-in cart racer. It's fantastic.

It's a dwindling hope.

The Wedding episode is a bit weird culturally for me (I'm Southeast Asian Cantonese) because for the various weddings I've attended, the bride and groom doesn't greet friends and families outside the wedding venue, they'll be too busy. I'm under the impression that close family friends (the jie mui) or family members would be in charge of the the guestbook and collecting red packets. Then Wei Shen doesn't actually give a red packet -- that's not giving face to your red pole tai kor, Wei. Does anyone know wedding sociology and practice in HK?

I'm under the impression that you give red packets regardless of marital status during weddings, and you give cost per person - it's certainly the norm here in SEA. It's only during Chinese New Year that married couples give out red packets to children (and single young adults in a mildly passive-aggressive way). Maybe Hong Kong is different! I don't know.

RoadCrewWorker posted:Interesting - usually people have the exact reverse definition of "spoiler", but this way you can move directly from watching the credits roll to starting up Sleeping Dogs 2! While usually I do indeed have the reverse definition myself, I can see how you might want to first do pseudo-scripted gameplay with commentary ('pseudo-scripted' because the viewer, especially future viewer, has little to no control over the direction, however free the player themselves might be), followed by enjoying the freedom of playing yourself.

Normally I wouldn't care and just play through the game but, this game is so drat fun to experience with other people that I wanna see how HE experiences it because his reactions make it so much more fun. ...I guess you could say that to me, this is the purest example of why I love Let's Plays.

I just finished watching all the videos. This LP made me by this game (And all the DLC) and I've already finished it. I've enjoyed this LP a lot already so I hope you're able to continue it ChocolateDonuts. Are you going to show off any of the races? While they were the most frustrating part of this game for me (Second only to the quick time fights), I love how you can hear everyone swearing at you in Cantonese when you crash into their cars.

 Oh my god an update Video 18: Initiation, thank loving god. Rossi and I finally get the band back together in time to do some videos (I actually have three more in the pipe! yaaay productivity) and Wei Shen finally earns his official position within the Sun On Yee.

I gotta wonder if Jackie ever really wanted to be fully in the Sun On Yee, I mean we all knew it wasn't built to kill a man like he just did, but after seeing him freak out perhaps him becoming a snitch would be his way out and he'd be alright with it. While normally Wei Shen is just a hardass Also it's pretty apparent that Jiang just wanted a bit of an idiot to take Po's place rather than someone who would be more dangerous in that position, like Big Smile Lee. I'll be really surprised if Uncle isn't offed in his hospital bed because hey, easy pickings for power or whatever. I got nothing else, just can't wait to see more justice being served with a porkbun clutched in each fist, glad to see ya'll back in the saddle.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES  Awwwww I am so glad to see this LP back and kicking again, I missed hearing you guys in Hong Kong again. So Face level stops at 10 huh? Did not know that. Also I always got a real Lady MacBeth vibe from Broken Nose Jiang, wayyyyy too smart to lead, but way too clever to be left alone. And as much as Jackie is a dipshit, he IS our bro and he's always got our back so it's great we can have him along...but I really worried about him bad after what he did here I hope he stays alright.

I do love the that cutscene where Pendrew asks Wei if he know about what happened to dogeyes. "Haven't heard a word about what happened to Dogeyes, Oh and by the way, next time you order a pork dish from the Golden Koi, make sure that you ask that they use Long Pig meat. It's fantastic."
