    I can never work out if Kojima is autistic or if that’s just how Japanese is when badly translated.

    It’s all his games as well.

    Props to Norman and Troy because they carried the living shit out of DS2…

      Japanese society is inherently autistic

        This is called “aizuchi” in Japanese or “backchanneling” more generally and as hard as I try I CANNOT find this paper that I read while studying Japanese linguistics but I remember there was a frequency analysis of time between backchanneling in both English and Japanese in both male and female listeners, and the difference was huge. Something like, female Japanese speakers backchannel every 2 seconds while male English speakers backchannel every 30 seconds.

        Blind people?

      I can’t remember where I read this, but IIRC it IS a Japanese thing. I mean, anyone can draw a conversation deeper by asking questions, but the Japanese do have a thing for picking one word and making it a question.

      If I recall correctly?

    Unironically I find that repeating what your correspondent said but as a question shows your engagement, especially when they said something more expressive.

      Something more expressive?

      source
      • ddplf@szmer.info ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Something they’d expect you to react to more vividly, like something surprising, touching or shocking.

      I feel like this would get really tiring/annoying for the speaker

      • ddplf@szmer.info ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Sure, like everything else when overused, but when done with in moderation it is a nice figure of speech I believe

    • lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Well, I would add an "Oh shit, " at the beginning, so it would be like

      Oh shit, something more expressive?

      Are you including when you rephrase the question but the content is essentially the same?

      ^ This is how I do it

        • You shoved that massive tiger shrimp into your mouth? Good for you.

        Shite, I like that

      more information?

    • CluckN@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Is it called a question?

      source
      • LwL@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Nah, specifically just repeating the last word/bits of their last sentence vs asking a full question. It’s about when the other person is on guard against you, if they want to tell you everything anyway I can’t see it make a difference either.

      Whenever I hear someone do the repeat question in conversation I usually follow it up with either that or “A Hind-D?” under my breath

      Those are zombies?

      • marcos@lemmy.world ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Eventually you need to reach for an exclamation mark:

        – Yes, Snake, zombies.

        – Zombies?!

        You may also want to keep adding both in order for as long as the conversation holds.
