>>98897Certainly, that's also why I support a measure of rudeness. You don't need to do all the work of challenging yourself, you can be challenged by others instead. More precisely, it's what I like to refer to as "competitive", as competitive discussion or competitive funposting. To be partly driven to justify yourself, your actions and your beliefs, preferably in a way that makes you look cool, and in turn poke others into doing the same. It really does fire up the neurons, might even help fend off alzheimer's.
As for the manga project, it was complicated by the need to draw over all those empty spaces from the dialogue that got removed. Plus, I went overboard with the cleaning, erasing even onomatopoeia and at best patching it up with cloning. Couldn't even read kana back then. Though I have no idea of how it went down on the translation side of things. Anyways, maybe anime would be easier to do, but there's hardly any that hasn't been already covered, is there?
