Mmm-hay, returning to this very crucial "Samurai Bravo" issue:
Jack is a little unnerved by sushi restaurants in Johnny's neck of the woods, especially when he finds out that they all serve raw salmon. He is both a little flattered and a little horrified by the whole experience of Johnny taking him to one, and the adventure ends with Jack insisting that Johnny come over so he can make him some real food.
Johnny proves to be incredibly adept with chopsticks. And he's really enthusiastic about how much he enjoys everything. And Jack feels...something? He smiles a lot.
Johnny really butchers his first, "Domo air-a-gatto," but he's sincere. And that first, crisp, "Hey. Kanpai, good buddy," makes Jack swoon a little, for reasons he does not fully understand yet.
Johnny helps with the dishes. He does a lot of dancing during the process. Mostly with his butt, but also his shoulders. Everything comes out sparkling.
At the end of the night, when they part ways, Johnny's like, "Okay, how do you feel about corndogs? 'Cause there's this place down at the beach that's got great curly fries, too..." And Jack's like, "Uh...you...want to keep doing...this?" And Johnny's like, "...Well, yeah. You just made me a crazy awesome dinner, and our first...uhhh...was a bust." [POSE] "This town's got a lot to prove," [POSE], "and I'm gonna show you a good time."
Jack has an absolute attack of the vapors, but maintains his composure. They agree to go to the beach together in the near future.
God, I hate that feeling when you leave the class to go to the bathroom, and then you come back to find the class pulling horribly embarrassing pranks on you.

The minute we all heard the protagonist's last name, it was literally destined for him to be the punchline of jokes, memes and torment from the fandom.
Welcome to the palls, where we absolutely fangirl over Social on the discord.
Because, so cool, talented, amazing, lovely, yet so so scary. Like, we love you, but we’re going to keep having mini panic attacks trying to send asks. Because what if you hate us, what if you judge us? What if we annoy you?
perhaps one of the most annoying types of ppl that i see on twitter (and elsewhere on the internet)
is the variety of fan who sees someone say, of a villain, "ugh, that guy sucks and i hate him." and goes:
"UHMMMM LET PEOPLE ENJOY VILLAINS YOU ASSHOLE ANTI!!!! AND STOP PURITYWANKING!!!!! SORRY YOU DON'T HAVE THE COMPLEX AND NUANCED AND SUPER SMART WAY OF ENGAGING WITH FICTION THAT I DO!! YOU WISH YOU WERE AS COOL AND TWISTED AND DEPRAVED AS ME! GO BE BORING WITH YOUR 'REACTING TO INTENTIONALLY UNLIKABLE CHARACTERS WITH DISLIKE' SOMEWHERE ELSE!!1"
and then in their next thread goes:
"so here's my 9000 word meta on why [x] isn't a villain at all and actually he is just misunderstood because of his tragic past and here is how the narrative simply makes no sense if he isn't also the romantic hero and here's how his redemption arc will go point by point but it's not actually a redemption arc at all, bcs he doesn't need one bcs obviously he's never done anything wrong or even been wrong about anything, it's just the series of realizations all the protagonists will have so that they stop being so mean and unjust and abusive to him for literally no reason!!!"
you are all simply COWARDS and a disgrace to the name of true villainfuckers everywhere frankly
Just made the mistake of watching the gameplay trailer for Sims 4 Horse Ranch(eros) or whatever that expansion pack is called (really? seriously!? an EP?!?!?!?! Because how else would you charge €39.99, amirite?!)
Am the only one who cringed all of those 3 minutes while the narrator lady was basically making an improv about things you can do with this EP?
"So....yeah....I have a horse....um, my friend also has a horse....oh, and a foal....totally cute foal............we can make nectar....um, different kinds of nectar.................hm.....what else?...
...oh, there's mini-goats too....
....and sheep...
...........
........
....." End of the painfully 3 mins long trailer.
The FEATURES!!!! The GAMEPLAY!!! The DEPTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The INNOVATION OF IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASTONISHING!!! Never seen something like this before!
So loving the NEW ranch hand feature!!!! (which is probably added because players get bored after 2-3 hrs of playing any new DLC for TS4. And because EA is being considerate this way. You get bored, you call the guy to take over. Simple!)
At this point The Sims 3 Pats has been broken down into TS4 Cottage Living + TS4 Cats & Dogs + TS4 My First Pet Stuff + TS4 Horses.
Next up: TS4 Magic Unicorns; TS4 My First Barn Stuff; TS4 Equestrian Apparel Kit; TS4 Le Lizard; TS4 Ooo-la-la Chinchilla; TS4 Ssssnakes; TS4 Raccoons Are Not Cats, TS4 The Bouncy Deer; TS4 Big Birds; TS4 Small Birds; TS4 Cages 4 Birds; TS4 Terrariums 4 Reptiles; etc.
------------------------
Alright, shtuting down the sarcasm now.
I'm not in the habit of reacting to TS4 related content and news -at least not "publicly"- but the rude boldness of this embarrassing trailer got me this time.
Shouldn't have watched it!
I haven't watched the first one (the reveal trailer) and everything was fine....*sigh
Will I convert something from this pack? Maybe, maybe not. It appears to be missing even the basic equestrian competition clothes which we do have in TS3 Pets (hence the TS4 Equestrian Apparel Kit *snickers)
