I did write "basically no filters" and "no proper tag systems". So while they do technically have those, they are very limited in function and completely useless for me. The few tags they have is worse than the community

It's tough to say, honestly, and it depends on how you define "gamers". The initial batch was all about gaming, usually centered mainly around a community (initially a single game (since there weren't many streamers arou

Now, if only they could spin off all the gaming content...maybe create a separate website for that. How about Justin.tv? That sounds nice, doesn't it? I've been using the website for over ten years now and it's somewhat sad t

I've read that book two years ago and really liked it. As such, I was recommended "My Name is Red" by Orhan Pamuk which is supposedly similar and which will be the next one to tackle (after I finish my current one: "Faus

Twitch chat is IRC, so you can just join with a dedicated or web client irc.twitch.tv and chat away (OAuth token is required). Most of the offline chatters that I know use a client. Apart from that I'm on several channels on Rizon and

Rocket League is a football game which you play with cars. Depending on the mode, 1-4 players play against each other to score goals in a specific time limit. It's also not new though, Battle-Cars came before that.

Tenhou is rigged though. IIRC, if you are a non-paying member (and possibly use a non-Japanese IP - a claim I haven't verified), the game will steer you towards a maximum of 25% 1st places. I have seen good (non-paying) players with th

Which resulted in an incomplete second check of payments. (Just to add the other small part.)

Hm, it would be a hard guess but in my opinion, readers of Shounen likely read the manga online on some reader or website (at least comparatively more than Shoujo fans). As mentioned in the earlier post, One Piece is absolutely relevant, be

Absolutely not. I unfortunately don't have sales numbers like it's the case in Japan but the Shoujo/Shounen Ai/Yaoi manga consistently rank very well. If you aren't into those, going to a bookstore is basically poin

> Shoujo manga is not popularized / suppressed by the western community. Really, do you have some numbers? Here in Germany, Shoujo/Shounen Ai are the most popular genres. I would imagine that those are pretty popular in France

What do you mean? Shenmue II was released in Europe with Japanese audio and subtitles even (which is the best kind of release, in my opinion). I also think that both games hold up very well today. Played them for the first time around seven

That's not exactly new and it has been a thing for over a decade already in South Korea. "The top professionals now make six-figure salaries and earn even more with endorsements and prize money." Same in this case, six-figure

As an aside, the website mentioned in the article, "Spiel Times", seems to be an Indian and not a German one. No idea how that came to be, considering their website and Twitter account show it rather clearly.

I didn't really have any other value in mind (though, there are likely possibilities, depending on the perspective from which you want to view the whole thing). The problem is, if you only place a single dot...where would you put me? A

Ah, I know what you mean but I don't really like the visualization of a spectrum either. A radar chart with both being pretty much opposite each other should work better, right? At least that's how I would best visualize it. That&

Hmm, you are talking about it from the perspective of a teacher. I, on the other hand, was talking about the perspective of a student which I had been. And while I did take pedagogy classes, I absolutely wouldn't comment on what works

by Merem 8y ago
It really depends on the student. If one has great work ethics, the connection to the teacher doesn't really matter because one would learn regardless. Similarly, the student can also "just" respect the teacher in his positio

Needing an ID to buy a SIM card is a rather recent requirement though (1st July 2017). So it is unlikely that the perpetrator used his/her ID to buy one.

Maybe it's not a problem for you but it certainly is for others. Personally, I don't want to have to install a client (DRM) just to be able to download a game. Thus, I stick with stores like GOG instead and don't play anythin

What is the "lesser evil" though? It highly depends on how you perceive things and issues.

Greece screwed up Greece before they even joined the eurozone. They weren't even eligible for that but still managed to do so by cooking the books (with the help of the likes of Goldman Sachs etc).

Exactly. People seem to forget the effect it has when Google promotes something on their search engine as well as Youtube (where they also forced you to get a Gmail-account eventually after taking over) etc.

Yes and no. The thing is, the majority of the viewers usually doesn't write to the streamer. They simply watch the stream, nothing more. So having five real viewers but no one is writing anything (or answering) is definitely possible.
