indigi posted:that's why I said "the major part" as opposed to "any," should probably learn to read better if you're doing subs my man Man just say that you like dubs more than subs because you don't want to read while watching your cartoons instead of this weird tangent about the immutable law you discovered where voice acting in another language isn't worth paying attn to or whatever the gently caress. You don't need to justify what you like.

I like dubs if they're good, or at least I'm used to them, but not a lot are, simple as. I'd rather have no English voice acting than bad English voice acting. I also read super fast anyway.

I watch my cartoons neither with subs or dubs, but muted and watched in complete silence. I let the posing tell me what is happening.

I also read super fast anyway. Reading fast is good, except when it ruins the timing of jokes. I always find it funny when you're watching something subtitled with someone else, and they read the full line, wait for the actor to catch up and do the punch line, and then politely chuckle like they didn't know the joke was coming.

Open Source Idiom posted:Reading fast is good, except when it ruins the timing of jokes. Whoof, yeah, that's a problem. Come to think of it, probably why I prefer to watch comedy anime dubbed. (Also doesn't help that a lot of foreign language humour doesn't directly translate anyway)

I love the baby salamander and want to give it a hug. It went down a bad road in a toxic relationship, but should return to its old self.

It's very surface-level utopianism I guess, it's a liberal democracy but every individual gets perfect hedonism

most of the Culture books are set outside of the Culture itself and the protagonists are either part of the branch of the Culture where they stick all its malcontents or in opposition to it. per the author most citizens of the Culture are doing boring poo poo like getting mindblowing head while skiing down a black diamond where you end up a different gender at the bottom of the slope,

We didn't get to eat that night. Yeah, I guess you were lucky that your associations with salamander panda alien yelling are positive.

Gurgeh is bored of playing scifi Go for a living; Fal 'Ngeestra does a bunch of drugs and waxes philosophical about what a waste of time the entire civilization is; Tefwe is trying to be dead and annoyed when AIs make her stop being dead and ask her to do stuff for them

Banks understandably (if Britishly) glosses over all the hedonism stuff most of the time but one of the minor characters in Consider Phlebas got an epilogue like "whats-his-face the sixth most important person on the mercenary ship survived the war and went on to become a Professor of Sex at gently caress University in Sin System Seven"
