  • Yakitori is basically grilled chicken on a stick.

    Yaki -> ‘cooked over direct heat’

    Tori -> ‘chicken’

    (well, most literally, ‘bird’. also, not to be confused with ‘torii’, totally different concept)

    Its like a street food, sorta like street tacos or hot dogs: relatively fast, simple, but still quite tasty… you could think of it as a very specific kind of barbecued chicken, sort of.

    Izakaya is the pub/eatery, the place, the building.

    Its … sort of a combination between a dive bar, and an all you can eat buffet?

    Probably the westernized versions, they probably aren’t having a section for people dining on tatami mats, charging you an entrance fee, and then feeding you for up to 3 hours, as you order things in the order of ‘you know what will be cooked quickly, and what will take a while’… id imagine they’re probably more like just a sit down restaurant, with booths or tables and waiters snd servers and what not… though a lot of izakaya have that as well, it varies.












  • In other news, TRAVEL ADVISORY:

    Horrific gestalt entity of seemingly randomly merged together limbs torsos and heads has been observed along the nearby interstate, begging passersby to ‘end it all’, in an atonal chorus of mournful voices.

    Commuters are advised that both panhandling and acknowledging the humanity of a panhandler are both punishable under the law.





  • Glimpse makes a fuckton of sense, imo.

    Its sorta kinda close to the old name, it conveys the concept of imagery, and its also really easy to read and say.

    Like shit, I figured out just by playing team based shooters with voicecomms, that you want a username thats distinct, can be said in ideally one or two syllables.

    When you’re naming a product, yeah, having it be lingustically connected to the thing that it does, there yeah go, much better than ‘Squoombly’ or whatever.
