Yeah, there's already a mod for human npcs that build towns, build mines, chop down trees, have kids that grow up to make more npcs, can buy and sell items, fight mobs and talk to you.
Making an actual yukkuri mod with actual yukkuri behavior is completely possible. It's just a question of whether or not anyone with the skill to do so would bother with making a yukkuri mod.
Although it would be really annoying after awhile to see yukkuri purposely stomping around on your farm crops or in your house breaking your bookcases and pictures, leaving piles of crap everywhere in your house/farm then insulting you.
It's less of a bluff and more of flexing for them. They are lazy creatures that just want to "take it easy" so trying to fight everything would go against that. So instead they puff not as a bluff knowing that they can't win, but rather a "flex" as if to say "I can kick your ass, but I don't feel like it, so just look at how tough I am then give me what I want."
This is most likely the case as everytime puffing fails they usually try to fight usually with the belief that they can win and all their other actions seem to be a distillation all the worse traits of sentience. Its incidental that it happens to be similar to a behavior of normal animals.
In the end its yet another expression of their arrogance with the added insult of rampant laziness on top of that. Now that I think of it, this is exactly why I hate their puffing.
JusticeItEasy said: Ah so it has nothing to do with the Yukkuris ranting and pov about stuff not abiding to their way? didn't expect that.
I'm not too sure so I wouldn't go that far. It's hard to get the finer nuances of a story from just translator babble, but overall it seems to be an anecdote about the selfishness/stupidity of yukkuri and the shenanigans that befall them because of it.
JusticeItEasy said: Yeah that's pretty much why i said the whole "Selfishness = typical yukkuri fail logic about object being mean or selfish to them" is the reason behind the title.
Now i wonder if the anko is 100% the typical "Yukkuri vs Faucet" story or if there is some sort of twist or original approach to it?
The part where they're trying to get water out of a faucet is only about one fifth of the story.
It starts off explaining or talking about their selfishness and how people who tried to make pets of them eventually threw them out on the street. I think its a stray herd or maybe just one family that can't get water out of the faucet so they sit there for awhile crying about it.
I couldn't really make the next parts out too well but it looks like they got so dehydrated from just sitting there crying at the faucet that when it started to rain they were actually happy about it and some of them might have just stayed there and melted. Whether on not any actually get killed, the rain creates some muddy puddles they can drink from, albeit most likely very unhappily. A few more things happen that I can't make out then it kind of looks like some factory workers snag them all.
There's probably an overall theme of the yukkuri's selfishness, but its hard to make out with only an online translator.
I'd really like to back you up on that as giant humanoid fighting robots would be awesome, but the main reason we don't have them (other than than it being an engineering nightmare) is because they would have an absurdly large profile.
Ever wonder why tanks and damn near all other military vehices are always built so relatively low to the ground? Anything taller would be too big of a target. It only works for gundams as they're made of some kind of sci-fi "nearindestructium" and peppering them with normal anti-tank weapons doesn't work.
Trololo said: Well, unless there's some medical complications from yukkuri beanpaste or something, the only real problem is that an abuser might become so addicted to abuse that ordinary stress relief methods become insufficient.
At that point, higher general stress and tension might be present as a result of a number of situations during which abuse is either socially unacceptable or impossible due to a lack of the presence of abuseable yukkuri.
Amazing how that still sounds like you're talking about smoking. Seriously, replace yukkuri with cigarette, abuse with smoking and that one "beanpaste" with ingredient or smoke.
I'm very surprised this hasn't been translated yet.
Kiriraitaa's stuff is usually on a higher translation queue than this.
JusticeItEasy said: You know, i'm starting to hate the buttwiggling and whichever yukkuri does it. . .
Starting to? They're basically waving their assholes at people, it was rage inducing to me from day one. You must have the patience of a saint to have made it this far.
Then again, I believe they're abominations and that food should act like food so any type of movement from them enrages me. Stretching into disgusting shapes usually distended from gluttony, puffing up in arrogance and ignorance of their own limits, shuffling around rubbing their filth wherever they go, hopping up and down sloshing like a sack of shit.
Well, my blood is sufficiently angried up. Now if you'll excuse me, if anyone needs me I'll be in the angry dome.
