@RabidDogma Год назад

Don't get me wrong. Some dubs are fine. But honestly, this dub was so bad in comparison to the sub. Put it this way - would you watch a foreign film in a dub? If so, great. But if not, it's the same thing. You're rarely going to get the best performance and you'll sometimes get something really and truly awful like the English David's "San Devistan" pronunciation. I mean...come on. The actual pronunciation is right there.

@RabidDogma Год назад

OH! And something that I'm not sure a lot of people know - Pepsi has way more of a "citrus" note to it. I always thought so from childhood on, but apparently that's a "known thing" (for the weirdos like me who would know that tiny scrap of info). I'm not the kind of person to hate someone for their taste in drink, but I much prefer Pepsi to Coke. Less sweet, more "bright." Just something that popped into my head since the mention of citrus in Coke.

Well, even though David hated carbonated drinks, that is what Lucy and his friends always ordered for him when they were all alive and together.

My interpretation of this drink is that I felt it was sort of a tribute to Lucy as David hated carbonated drinks but Lucy loves it, thus why topped with Nicola for Lucy on top of Vodka. Edit: also saw a comment about Lucy’s nationality being half Polish and half Japanese, which probably makes more sense as Vodka is a popular polish-russian alcohol mixed with Nicola which is Japanese. The drink actually has more meaning when you think about it!

@psbox362 Год назад

@MeepChangeling Год назад

Brewer here! Coke's mix of citrus fruits replicates the flavor of actual cola, which is difficult to get in enough bulk for any major soft drink manufacturer as cola only grows in a few places. The caffeine used for coke and most major soft drinks is synthesized, as caffeine is one of the many compounds we can make in a vat and have the end product be identical to anything you get from beans. If you want to know what real cola tastes likes, find RC Cola and have one. They *do* use real cola still; just imagine that flavor with a little less salt and that's proper cola. You probably won't like it though, as you're used to fruit juices.

@Marth667 Год назад

I suppose it's always been like that, you have free will to a point. For example, you have a choice between a burger which has been squashed and a perfectly fine burger with nothing wrong with it, which do you eat? Overwhelmingly would people not choose the burger that has been sat on, thus your free will is an expectation that you will choose the best example for yourself. Another example is when governments want a particular occupation, say nurses. A government will subsidise that course so people will be more interested in that career path then others because of the lesser financial burden thanks to the government subsidy. People will choose the perceived best option, those above examples are simple though and what's the best or perceived to be the best option are never the same. Effectively think of it as user error or corruption in the code, it's an interesting line of thought but ultimately were not machines, we don't make the best decision all the time, quite the contrary actually. A simple analogy would be using a calculator that can do simple equations, 1+5=6 for example. However higher level calculations such as 8c - 4b + 9c = ? Is the answer 13bc, 1c - 4b or 17c - 4b? The calculator doesn't know, it asks you a question rather then stating the answer, it's by rights faulty equipment that's inconsistent. That, is humanity.

@storiesfromtheabyss9808 Год назад

@@Xephisto I thought about this exact thing when I saw someone questioning the dub. There's a lot of intricate cultural things you won't pick up on otherwise. It's like if you played the game in the Spanish dub, the Valentinos would be no different from the rest of the city and it would take away from their own uniqueness.

@Neotenico Год назад

Having lived in Japan, it's very common to see sakura flavored limited releases of different foods/drinks around March and April, timed with the cherry blossom season, which is massively important within Japanese culture. As you said, it's a very subtle flavor, but it's refreshing and definitely puts you in the spring spirit. Violets, on the other hand, aren't nearly as commercially popular, but do find their place as flavoring elements in homemade stocks, and can be used as a garnish for sashimi.

@rokhpaperscissors1349 Год назад

One thing you left out at 22:08 - In addition to Blade Runner and Neuromancer being released in North America, Katsuhiro Otomo was simultaneously publishing the original Akira manga in Japan starting in 1982. It's really interesting looking at the overlaps and common themes between Blade Runner, William Gibson's work, and Otomo's manga, given that all three were created seemingly in parallel.

@@rudy_g51g2 Alright what is with the dick riding, who you trying to impress? Mike built the cyberpunk ttrpg on the shoulders of other great sci-fi writers, its unique and has great elements but borrows from other places. It also has five other writers listed in the 2020 book. dozens of people worked on it to make it great not just Mike. CD project red also saved R.Talsorian Games Inc. ass. They had a failed kickstarter (Mekton Zero) with $50k taken and no product to deliver, I am glad the game got made, Mike got paid and R. Talsorian lives on. I am sure cd project red's writers helped bring 2077 alive in game and rpg book as well. Mike was the man in charge but he had help. so yea "A LOT" is exactly what I mean.

There's some "default soda" flavored Japanese Ramune soda I drink sometimes, and honestly maybe that's the "default" flavor. It's kinda like melon flavor but with a bit more of a sprite-ish bite to it. I'll edit later once I actually drink that default flavor again when I get the chance.

I really appreciate the fact you reference Neuromancer and other classic cyberpunk lit.

My fan theory is that Jimmy Kurosaki actually does end up tuning a BD from David's virtue after he died, exactly like he said he would. And so this Netflix anime itself is literally supposed to be that very same XBD Jimmy Kurosaki releases in his "Edgerunner's" series.

My theory on how the different colas taste: Classic: Sickly sweet strawberry/cherry cough syrup Blue: Sickly sweet blue raspberry/bubblegum flavour Fire: Chilli, various spicy powders and possibly cinnamon/nutmeg too, similar to those spicy candies that burn your mouth Sakura: A subtle, gentle flavour to ensure access to all markets. A light watermelon/rose flavour for a more refined but equally unhealthy taste.

@SinnerBeta Год назад

For those that didn't know: Lucy's real name is Lucyna Kunishida and she's half-Polish and half-Japanese. What's the relevance of this trivia? Vodka is a Polish alcohol and NiCola is a Japanese cola as mentioned in the video. So David's drink is inspired by his beloved girlfriend, part Polish and part Japanese.

@januszkurahenowski2860 Год назад

She is half Polish and half Japaneese, just like Edgerunners itself. Some people mistakenly think that studio trigger is the sole creator but the Polish cdpr side created the story, most characters, the rough script, produced it and the showrunner is Polish. So just like Lucy it's a mix of Polish and Japaneese.

Zero detes to verify the 'nicotine cola' story, choomba. All we know is that it's from Japan, has the slogans 'Feel the Chemistry' and 'Taste the Love', and that it tastes like cough syrup (none of which, except *possibly* the 'chemistry' tagline - but that applies to literally anything it could be made from, even if it's all-natural - supports *or* directly refutes the nicotine thing), and that it's used in the David Martinez at the Afterlife (and possibly the Jackie Welles, given the 'splash of love' and the 'Taste the Love' tagline). EDIT: Even the name, 'NiCola', doesn't imply 'nicotine', because 'ni' in Japanese means (depending on the character used) the number two, moving towards something, the person or thing acting upon something else, and several other uses/meanings.
