Thanksgiving By the Clock

I've noticed over the years that there's a great deal of variability in the times that people in the US (and, presumably, Canada) serve their big Thanksgiving dinner.

I'm curious about the details. Is this a regional thing? Is it a matter of family tradition? In the USA, are people juggling meal schedules around football games and parades?

This calls for a poll!

My family tradition was Going Out For Thanksgiving Dinner, so don't feel that Not Doing The Huge Cooking Ritual disqualifies you from this.

Reblog for greater sample size, please!

If you want to include your answer and where you're from/where you live now in the tags or in your reblog, that should produce some interesting results that are probably meaningless by any statistical measure. 😄

The Japanese and Korean versions of Tomodachi Life both feature unique music for New Years that cannot be heard in the USA or PAL versions

Last Specter/Spectre's Call regional differences (Professor Layton and the Devil's Flute): Puzzle 6

I just got my Japanese version of Last Specter/Spectre's Call today. I want to share some regional differences between the original Japanese and the English localization. One of the differences is the puzzles and the one that I want to share is puzzle 6.

Here's our version of puzzle 6 where you have to combine the pieces together to recreate the numbers that fell off.

In the original Japanese version the puzzle is basically the same with putting the pieces together. The main difference is instead of numbers it's letters and it's spells "POST".

If I knew how to program I'd combine every regional version of tomodachi life into one game. I'm talking every regional exclusive food item. The blind date mechanic from the Korean version. The Japanese exclusive concert song. Word assocation AND rap battle. Miis taking baths at home. Parents naming their kids a combination of their names. I want all of it I don't care if it doesn't make sense.

Mainly going with what I've always called "cold cereals". Cold cereals being often highly processed, often with lots of sugar added, typical American cereal aisle stuff. Also most puffed or popped cereals some of which aren't all that processed (corn puffs, rice puffs) In this case I am not putting muesli, granola or Weetabix/Shredded Wheat (non-frosted) in the "cold cereal" category even though I personally think of them that way. I sense from the comments there may be a big division there. Maybe I'll make a separate poll for them.

There are some cereals that are debatable if they are more like muesli/granola or more like a highly processed cereal... use your judgement how you want to count those if they are a big part of your cereal intake. If you eat those "cold cereals", but sometimes use cold milk and sometimes hot milk, or OJ or something, pick whatever you use the most/consider "standard" for yourself. I put "only dry" but if you eat them dry like 90% of the time or so, that is fine too.

Only pick the "porridge, muesli, granola, shredded wheat," (porridge includes oatmeal, cream of wheat, grits, etc) option if that is all or almost all you eat. Otherwise pick what you use when you *do* eat "cold cereal", even if that is only say, 30% of your cereal intake. Please put your answer and location in tags, pretty sure this is highly location based. Please spread!

[things-about-cars-in-posts]

recently discovered the beautiful vehicle that is the Chevrolet Opala, do you have any good facts on that car?

Yet again I'm introduced to new cars through this inbox!

Perhaps the most interesting thing to discuss about the Opala is why I didn't know of it: while based on the Rekord, a car built and sold in Europe by Opel (like Chevrolet part of General Motors), the Opala was only made in and for Brazil. It's common for brands with a global presence to have market-exclusive cars: Ford's American, European and Australian lineups have almost no cars in common, and Fiat has a long and illustrious tradition of powering other countries -including Brazil- with whatever it's tired of producing at home. And then, looking it up, I saw the SS version, and thought "Hwow were they ever going for the Chevelle SS's styling there!"

You know, the Chevelle SS. A car of the same vintage, whose sales were just as confined to a single American country I have never even seen, that looked like that for about one year. Which I absolutely knew of.

And that made me think about why that is for a bit - and about how stark of a difference that reason makes (because I could not confidently tell you a dozen Brazil-only cars, but could confidently list a hundred reserved to US and Canada).

Look at Italian music.

No, really - back in the days many of the biggest hits were translated English songs, there were people that sang with fake English accents, hell, it was damn near custom to get a stage name made up of an English name and Italian surname (Fred Buscaglione, Jimmy Fontana, Bobby Solo, Patty Bravo, on for days). Who was out there brazilianifying their name?

Sure, Italy may have been an outlier, but trust me, the cultural foothold America has in much of the Earth is virtually unmatched. And with that cultural hegemony comes a rose-tinted spotlight shone to its history (especially the one we were there to learn about live), such that to the rest of the world even US-exclusive models like 60s muscle cars are not just known, but iconic - even simply through other things like movies, shows, or music. On the other hand, Brazilian cars (how many again?) are at most a curiosity that is sometimes tangentially mentioned to fill space - mostly because that's our treatment of Brazilian culture.

Rather than an awkward attempt to detail the sociopoliticoeconomical reasons for that, though, what I want to end on is a more positive note: there's always outliers. Whatever population you look at, whatever culture you're thinking of, there will always be someone obsessed with it. And that's one thing I love about cars - each model, somewhere, somehow, has someone loving it. Each topic is a topic of interest to someone. And you can always be that outlier if you want - being interested in one thing never excludes being interested in another.

And in fact, in amongst all those fake-English stage names, an Italian duo chose a brazilianified last name - Michael and Johnson 'Righeira', seen here proving that 21st century "80s style" stuff can never be more exaggerated a caricature than some of the real thing.

Yes, that's Spanish. Don't worry about it.

I headcannon that Aaron and Andrew refer to strawberry milk/pink milk differently. Aaron would refer to it as Strawberry milk and Andrew would call it Pink milk.

If either heard what the other called it there would be a fight every time.

Fact #66

In Japan, like Yo-kai Watch 2 before it, Yo-kai Watch 3 had three versions: Sushi, Tempura, and Sukiyaki - paralleling Bony Spirits, Fleshy Souls and Psychic Specters, Sushi and Tempura are directly equivalent while Sukiyaki is a definitive version released later with added features, including many quests and the Blasters T mode, which was later added to Sushi and Tempura in an update.

However, in America, only one version of Yo-kai Watch 3 was released, based off Sukiyaki. Due to this, all the quests from Sukiyaki, alongside Blasters T, are available. This leads to an interesting textbox in Blasters T, where Molar Petit claims you're playing Sukiyaki.

I run into regional differences with this all the time, so I’m curious to see how this breaks down! I’m always caught off guard when someone asks “how are you” while continuing to walk past me, but that’s just the culture of where I went to school

In the Korean version of Tomodachi Life, there is an exclusive "Blind Date" feature, where a Mii will ask you to set them up on a date with someone else on the island. You can choose for them to go to the cafe, the beach, the amusement park, or the tower. The success and failure rate is the same as any other normal romance interaction. Attached above are two videos showing both success and failure cutscenes.

In the Japanese version of Unwound/Lost Future there's many differences that don't show up and this is one of the many examples. The ones on the left are from the original Japanese version within the first storybook where the only differences are the fruit that is an apple and the color of the boot is red. The English version has plums and the color of the boot is purple.
