The game with Japanese protagonist who's about 5'5'' tall, where you can acquire a magical katana later in game, lose a limb and get a stronger prosthetic arm, eat Japanese confectionery, fight a tall woman on a red bridge. Also the game has elements of canine animals and patricide.

My friend sent me this post of two birds from the parakeets subreddit and a bunch of people in the comments were comparing them to Ornstein and Smough from Dark Souls 1 so I had a clear goal in mind (I haven't posted in a while oops)

Thank you for your addition on that crazy Sun Tzu post. Some Tumblr users really be saying the most blatantly wrong thing about other cultures with such confidence it peeves me to no end. And seeing that post get to 40k notes is incredibly agitating. So thank you for adding the corrections 🙏

<3 BTW, I checked that post's comment section and found that OP has corrected the post after someone pointing out, a long time ago in fact. But the way tumblr works means the reblogs will still show the original version. Anyway, funny thing is that a couple of 'um actually 🤓☝️' popped up in the notes immediately after my rant. I wonder how that came to be

This isn't very hard when you know some of the most genius strategies in human history were incredibly stupid, circumstantial events that led to victory by sheer luck of that strategy working.

Case in point: Tsun Zu's rival defended a city with 10 men against Tsun's army of hundreds by disarming his own soldiers, dressing them in plain clothes, INVITING Tsun's army to come in, and it only worked because Tsun knew the guy was an ambush master and thought "if we attack the city he's inviting us into, we will die." and left without even trying ON THE BASIS OF HIS RIVAL'S REPUTATION AND NOTHING MORE

Another example: Tsun Zu, on being told his soliders were out of arrows during a battle against a city across a river from them, had his men craft scarecrows, put them on a boat, send it out on a line, leave it there for half an hour, then pull it back in and used the arrows the enemy had fired at the boat to restock their own ammunition. It only worked because it was foggy and the enemy couldn't tell the difference between the scarecrows and actual soldiers.

Stupid things like that work INCREDIBLY WELL if the circumstances favor them, so you really don't need to come up with some multi-layered, Shikamaru-esque strategy. You just need to come up with a strategy you like for the characters involved, then write the circumstances (weather, environment, individuals involved) to favor it enough that it works.

OK what on earth is this. First it's spelled sun tsu (孙子) and these events are fictional. They came from Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The strategist behind them was Zhuge Liang. Sun tsu predates this 14 century historical novel, and the time period it depicted, by centuries. Every Chinese person knows that. I won't deny they work well in the narrative but you can't just put them there like they're historical facts?? Is this a masterfully constructed satire to show the general public's disinterest for historical accuracy and lack of cultural awareness? Because if so I've definitely fallen for it.

I made my first mmd This song can be interpreted as a song about identity, expression and love. It's one of my personal vocaloid favorites and I think it fits X (my version of him) Please enjoy, fellow X likers. I would have met my figurative death by loneliness a long time ago without you.
