Oh
Dude you're not a girl so how am I supposed to feel better about that? :P That's like me telling you: "Don't worry, your penis is bigger than mine,"
I told my mom that my headcanon is that this one game series takes place in New Orleans because the city and park resembles the French Quarter and City Park and Mom looked at me like I made a breakthrough discovery lol
WHat game series?
Pssst! You STILL owe me an anime list! :p

Yeah lol But the Japanese actually know what New Orleans is. A lot of them like to visit it as tourists because they find it beautiful and love the French architecture.
Have you like described all of it to her? I didn;t think she knew Japanese.
My mom or Sera?
Both I guess
I can speak Japanese you know, but a lot of my theory just came from the various locations in the game that look like New Orleans. It never says where they live.
I know you can, but enough to understand what's going on in the games most of the time?And I meant describing the games themselves to them. I've seen you and sera talk about them before.
Yeah, actually. It helps that they not only speak but have text on-screen that I can read. Yeah I describe the games to Sera.
Mom says there used to be a restaurant in New Orleans that has closed down, but she said if it was still open she'd take me to it. She says they made mac and cheese so good, it could make a person cry and she doesn't even LIKE mac and cheese. According to her the restaurant got shut down by the health department because they disposed of their seafood improperly; they just dumped it in the back alleyway of their restaurant. So if you went into the back alley, it would reek of rotten fish.
It's not so bad, at least their kitchen was super clean and nobody got ill from their food. That's what I care about.
Yeah.Why would you be going into the back allies anyways?!
I don't know, ask my mom she was the one who went back there lol
In the games, when you visit the graveyard all of the graves are above-ground and look like crypts. You even get locked in one(but you're let out really quickly) The graveyards in New Orleans are above-ground and all the bodies are kept in those fancy crypts. The main character's dad tells her she's leaving Japan and traveling overseas. New Orleans is definitely overseas to a Japanese person.
If it's not intended to be New Orleans, then they could've fooled me :P
MAkes sense
Their names aside from the last names are all written in katakana, which is what Japan uses to write out foreign words or names. So I think they're intended to be foreigners that happen to have Japanese ancestors :P
Does this mean they had to throw out their disgusting fridge in 2005??

After Katrina a lot of people were unable to return home for many months. They had no electricity, and their fridges broke and everything inside rotted. The food was so rotten it melted plastic and a special clean-up crew in hazmat suits had to be called in to deal with them. People had to duck-tape their fridges closed and threw them out on the curb, and since it took a long time to pick them all up, they wrote things on them like 'Free food in here!!!' Or 'I went lootin' in New Orleans and all I got was this stinkin' fridge' or 'Here's a gourmet meal for the New Orleans Levee Inspection Board!" Which is a reference to the levee inspectors going out for a really fancy lunch after they checked the levees before Katrina hit.
Luckily, my relatives never had to deal with a gross fridge. They lost literally everything in the hurricane because they were in the worst part of the storm. Dad's mom gave me the last few possessions she managed to save from the storm: a few family photos and some books. She described how she was in the eyewall of Katrina, and said: "First the wind came and blew our house right off its stand. It blew the roof off. Then a tornado came and sucked up all the doors and windows, as well as most of our furniture. Then the actual hurricane hit and finished the job. Our house flooded badly and I had to place everyone on a blow-up air mattress just so we wouldn't drown."
My goshI will never live on the coast, unless I lived in like Northern Europe.
Or CanadaOr a planet with no hurricane.
They also get a bunch of tornadoes.
That storm was actually the one that made me so interested in hurricanes. I was only about seven-eight when it hit, and before then, I saw hurricanes as being 'not my problem'. I had never been in one, nor did I know anybody who was in a hurricane. So I never cared. But once Hurricane Katrina hit and destroyed everything, including Grandma Faye's beautiful beachfront house that I had such strong memories of, something inside me clicked. Now, hurricanes were no longer 'someone else's problem'. They seemed very real to me, and I wanted to learn as much as I could about them. I started to keep track of every major hurricane that's happened after Katrina. And my interest was only furthered by having friends survive Hurricane Irene and Hurricane Sandy.
It's crazy how events can completely change people and their interests.I have no idea how I became interested in storms. We mostly just get standard thunderstorms: \
Maybe you just find them interesting? I also follow foreign storms since I want to see how other countries deal with them. So....just know if you move to Western Europe, you're going to deal with a LOT of tornadoes :P
I guess so. That and the paranormal: pI knew one of the first recorded tornadoes happened there but I've rarely heard of storms over there, save for earthquakes.
Believe me my friend, tornadoes happen there and they happen a lot. Western Europe gets much stronger tornadoes than Eastern Europe(the strongest tornado recorded in Lithuania was an EF2), but they all have gotten them. The Nordics get a lot too. Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are ranked alongside England, Germany, France and Italy for the sheer amount of tornadoes they experience every year. Denmark also has the highest number of waterspouts recorded than any other European nation.
In fact, just last year Rome got hit by EF3 twin wedge tornadoes that just barely missed the city. The government said they were extremely relieved they missed, otherwise the resulting damage would've looked like the apocalypse.
It's not Europe, but Asia gets lots of tornadoes too Bangladesh holds the record for the most, along with the deadliest, but destructive tornadoes have hit China and Japan too. A few years ago an EF3 tornado ran down the streets of downtown Tokyo and their government had to shut down a lot of services to get everything repaired.
Good grief.I wonder where all the warm air comes from for tornadoes? I know in "Tornado Alley" it comes from the Gulf of Mexico and the Southwest ((sometimes)) and cold air from the north.
For Europe it typically comes off the coast of their warm oceans, mixed with cold air from Siberia. They have gotten tons of really bad severe thunderstorms from this mix as well.
https://twitter.com/severeweathereu?l... I find this account to be extremely helpful in tracking severe European weather. Citizens from all over Europe send in pics and videos of snowstorms, tornadoes, thunderstorms, etc. There's also radars and forecasts for different parts of Europe.
They also retweet international weather events if they're significant enough. Right now almost all of their tweets are about Hurricane Irma and their concern for Florida.
Nice to see they're concerned about Florida.
Was that sarcasm?
No it wasn't. It's good to see that even though we're generally a laughing stock now, people are still concerned for the safety of others.
A lot of Europeans actually really like America, you know.
i know they don't HATE us, but some i've talked to have said that we're sort of a laughing stock over there now, in a face palming "Why are you doing this" way. And i tell them many of us feel the exact same way about many things they point out, including the electoral system.Ironically, the electoral system was designed to allow smaller states to have more power, which doesn't make sense, because instead the big states have the most electoral votes and swing states with large numbers of votes influence elections.
TBH if you didn't want big states to have more influence, going by "the person with the most votes wins" would make the most sense because it doesn't matter WHERE the vote is from. Most people who win the popular vote win the electoral anyway, so why not get rid of a backwards system that just makes the election process longer?
(view spoiler)
Well Lithuania still loves us, mistakes and all :P Although lately they've been upset because they're worried Trump will pull out the American soldiers in Lithuania which would allow Russia to harass them again.
it's personal
