Pete and his slow bleed. lol people are so silly online. Pete you’re awesome keep being you.
Don’t change, Pete! 🙌
You are a Japan-centric podcast and yet instead of supporting the Japanese and others who want accurate representation of Japanese culture in a game series that has historical accuracy as a main selling point, you call them racists and bigots. And then when you are getting criticized in the comments you double down and make fun of people that just wanted accurate Japanese representation in freaken feudal Japan. Wtf are you actually thinking? If the game was set in Africa and the protagonist was white and black people rightfully complained, would you have the audacity to call them racists and make fun of them?
Pete Donaldson is very very NICE!
Good questions this week
Don't need to paying attention to the number on the scale boys, it's all about body composition, you could have two people who are 90kg at the same height but look completely defferent, just worry about body fat %age instead 😁.
Pete, you’re rad. Don’t worry about those fools
The whole point we talk to each other at all is to hear different opinions, and get feedback on our own. People need to chill out. Hearing something you disagree with is a good thing! So absolutely keep sharing your authentic self, Pete…. And just think, if you had never shared your opinion on assassins creed, then you would never had known it was a shit take 🤣
Pete is a person.
I’m def in Pete’s side with the assassins Creed stuff. I have played assassins creed a big fan of the game and I still agree. People are ridiculous. Stuff like this shouldn’t cause controversy it keeps podcasters from being more honest on these platforms. Chris already holds back and is constantly worried about demonetization which makes me miss when this was audio only. YouTube has censored Chris but I’m Glad Pete keeps it honest and checks the crap when it comes up
Chris, "my pace" (マイペース) is a pretty common wasei eigo (pseudo-English).
I’m so glad I already climbed Mount Fuji Thanks to the podcast Almost 6 years ago I sent in a question and you guys helped me figure out the logistics of the climb really appreciated that. Loved the Drone question love when u guys talk podcast and video logistics
Pete 😂 I canny cope! “Unless your incels” 😂
Got the 1st book but damn if I had the time to read. But will get the next
Even though you have to pay this fee, but does it come with water?
You put on weight because you ate 1200 calories before you started cycling.
Chris attempting to play the devil's advocate only for the game to end up being so beyond horrible that nobody would bat an eye at Japan dropping a nuke on Ubisoft's headquarters. Even if you remove any of the race issues and instead just look at everything else, good god the game itself should be labelled as a hate crime.
Not sure why the Ryokan video didn't do well. It was pretty unique and entertaining seeing Chris put in work. Also seeing the ins and outs of the hotel was great.
I played the first four Assassins Creed game and honestly, I thought the whole point was that it was extremely visually accurate locations with plot lines and events that lean heavily into poetic license, fringe conspiracy and high drama 😅😂 isn't that's what makes it fun? It cracks me up that people want to take it so seriously!
11:40 …it's his house? The few AirBnBs I have done were a spare room or a couch in someones house so they were there living their life, thats kinda the point of AirBnB …well at the start before big companies got involved.
Pete: Don't apologize for being right
And fyi guys, you are both awesome. Pete, it brightens my day to see your cheeky face and your quirky sense of mischief and humour is essential to the dynamic of the podcast. I watch every episide religiously, just ignore the haters, they dont know 💩😂
I do think you're nice, Pete, and I appreciate you. 🤍 Like or dislike whatever games you want. Agree or disagree with what the critics say. I don't really care, to each is own.
The phrase “my pace”/「マイペース」 isn't only used to describe your speed.
It's just as much about how you approach something and how go about doing it.
If you're not textbook cookie cutter standardized, you're probably "my pace".
Anyway; even if I end up going to Japan at some point, I probably won't bother with climbing Mt. Fuji.
I love a good hike out in a bit of nature, but there's just too many people and fuzz about that place.
