happy birthday nicole!!!!!

i replay the levels from it every once in a while but it doesn't have the hype moments and aura of frontiers

this definition by the OED is correct, here's the pixivdic entry. the streamer's definition of "isekai" is indistinguishable from fantasy, but not every fantasy is isekai obvs. you cant say lodoss war/dungeon meshi are isekai. thats /how/ people are misusing the term

yes those typos and errors are in the article. basically my contention is that "isekai" as a genre label refers to any work where there is a transference between a meta/prime world and a separate world, like here is word used on the wiki page for narnia

there's so much relying on social media posts from randos as sources but also the lack of editorial oversight to understand that randos on the internet can be wrong, they can lie, and they might not know more than established authorities (who can be wrong too of course) is baffling to me.

a while back ign published a piece on "isekai" being added to the oed, where the author who i wont name to not pick fights decided a streamer was more of an authority on what "isekai" means than the oxford english dictionary and japanese linguists

I'll make sure to just say konnichiwa instead of embarrassing myself with gokigenyou to the receptionist this time.

my personal hell was being in japan in winter 2022 and having to listen to this every time i went on a 2am lawson trip. this might be the worst song of the decade

asellus scenario saga frontier time

i might do the same for the Shimbun Akahata (the Japanese Communist Party's paper) if they have a piece on it (likely tomorrow?)
