Is it me or Ina has a weird accent? Sometimes she sounds -may god forgive me for saying this) British, or with a slight br'tish accent, and it drives me up a fucking wall.

Am I imagining things? Do all Canucks sound like that?

oh wow, Ina does sounds like BMO.
I had never watched Adventure Time before so I didnt understand who or why the comparison, but she does sounds really similar.

This is a little bit of an overstatement. While the French Canadians are largely insular, the exchange of people and culture between the rest of Canada and the US has been extremely active since before the US went independent. We are quite literally family (not to powerlevel too much but my family tree crisscrosses the border very frequently). What 'British' influence there is is not really all that much more than what exists in the US and had it not been for 19th and 20th century great imperial power geopolitics, the US and Canada probably would have consolidated themselves into a single nation-state a long time ago.

The idea of a very distinct 'Canadian identity' that is somehow a British refutation of all things American is a colonial trope leftover from the days when the British empire was pulling out all the stops to keep its colonies in line. Most parts of Canada have far more in common with the parts of the US they border than even the rest of Canada (Atlantic Canada with New England and New York, Prairie Provinces with the Northern Midwest, and B.C. with Washington State and Oregon, etc). This is not to say that there isn't a distinct Canadian culture but it's more in line with what you'd expect from a regional US culture rather than something completely unique.

To chime in on this as well, Canadian culture today is largely American culture with a veneer of anti-Americanism. Pretty much at a glance with no other information the average Canadian cannot be told apart from the average American; US media and culture is so strong, prevalent, and easily accessed and Canada so comparatively tiny that it's damn near impossible to retain a truly unique Canadian culture. Thus the focus on being "not American" and the emphatic play-up of everything from nationalized healthcare to poutine, aboot to Mounties - there just isn't anything of major substance culturally separating both countries anymore. The only regions of Canada really retaining key differences now are Quebec (for obvious reasons) and Newfoundland/Labrador (from their comparatively late annexation).

As for Ina's accent it's not that strange IMO, it's largely your typical second generation accent that has been naturalized through growing up in Canada while retaining influences from her home life. What would be strange is her finally letting the gremlin run loose :gunt:

Yeah I wanna see her gremlin loose as well, but she seems to have a hold of herself.

Let's look at the bright side, at least she isn't Quebecois.
Yo! Ollie's reading that weird spider isekai, I didn't think anyone else knew it existed.

The series is fucking great. And while I wished they stuck with traditional style, the anime which heavily use CGI isn't that bad.

(Though honestly Payday 2 isn't exactly demanding).

Concealment dodge crit build infamy 25 level 100 been playing the game since day one literally sucked off Almir Listo please bro let me in

But yeah PD2 is a 2013 game so it's not graphically demanding on paper. In practice some heists are so horribly optimized that you need a beefy computer to overcome its shortfallings.
Cubanodun said:
Only one person comes to mind that has mentioned Payday 2 and that is Botan but you need a crew of 4 at best for the maximum experience (and buy tons of DLC's)
Click to expand...
You do not need to buy a shitton of DLC to get 5 years of content; there's Legacy Edition for that (contains all the pre-Border Crossing DLC except Completely Overkill (exclusive, only had masks) and Scarface Character Pack (movie license expired). Sure it doesn't have the new heists but most of them are trash. Legacy Edition alone should be more than enough to get the Payday experience, though I hear the Breakfast at Tijuana heist is actually decent.

Imagining how Ina would move is actually a really scary/disgusting endeavor. Her human parts are just little dangly bits on the hughe tangle of tentacles. Around humans she probably keeps the dangly bits in front and close enough to the ground for her "feet" to touch the ground. Keeping the tentacles tight together on the ground, moving them in small, snakey movements. Trying to keep the human part steady and level at all times. Trying to hide that she is actually moving around half a ton of demonic flesh. In combat I imagine her doing the inverse of the fighting game concept. She'd keep the human parts off the ground, safely surrounded, on the underside of the tangle, and move like an octopus "walking" along the bottom of the sea.
Then there is the question of her mouth. There is no way she is getting enough fuel through her human mouth to maintain those enormous tentacles. There has to be another opening, somewhere.

It's a pretty standard west coast Asian accent, in my opinion. She's made mention of blizzards though (or some kind of snowfall) so that eliminates Vancouver. Maybe Calgary or Edmonton?

I really wonder if there's a game that would actually scare her. And if there is I really want her to play it.

Also, Ina should basically play as Dhalsim. But instead of body parts stretching it's her tentacles.
