The story
On a regular thread on 5ch’s News VIP board, hosted by the ASCII-art mascot character ‘Pomi,’ reactions to the new Monster Hunter-style mobile game ‘Monster Hunter Outlanders’ became a talking point. The series has long drawn fans of its numbered entries like ‘3rd,’ ‘World,’ and ‘4G,’ and the thread’s reactions to the new title were decidedly mixed — some posted things like ‘I don’t even have the stamina to swing a hammer anymore,’ while news of another popular social game ending service piled on top. From there the chat veered off into the weather, driving, and how convenience-store fried rice tastes — the usual free-for-all VIP banter.
What people said
Go find something more relaxed to play
(っ´ω`c)Are you playing Exe Arena, Astraeo Ratio, Azur Promilia, and Ame Nochi Hare Onna (lit. 'After the Rain, Sunny Girl')?
I played World too, but once I'd beaten everything I got bored
(っ´ω`c)Oh, a 3rd guy — you mentioned 3rd before too. Come play the mobile one too, I bet it's fun
(っ´ω`c)World Quest, huh…
Monster Hunter Puzzle…😡 I play it every single day…😡
Is this new Monster Hunter mobile game the reason it's getting killed off?
(っ´ω`c)Well, guess that can't be helped… why not switch over to Outlanders?
(´・ω・`)This old man doesn't have the stamina to swing a hammer around anymore
(っ´ω`c)I'm an old man too, but I still want to try hard and swing a sword around
If Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH) ever ends service, I might actually have to get a job!?
(っ´ω`c)…I might die
Invite me when you go🥺
Let's go together
I'll invite you too, but
you've got enough life force to camp out, eat bugs, and survive outdoors just fine
(っ´ω`c)It's rough over here, the rain's pouring down with this terrifying roaring sound
Looks like it's raining on both the Sea of Japan side and the Pacific side
around Ishikawa and Toyama
Whenever Pomi-kun brings up the weather, I always check the weather map
(っ´ω`c)Seriously? Where on earth do I even live?
Re: #44
(っ´ω`c)Do you play Monster Hunter itself every day too? The actual hunting-action one, I mean
Wakayama, or maybe Hamamatsu too… that's suspicious
Not playing it anymore, the last one I played was 4G
Huh?!!!
Thank you!!!
That's going to keep me going
(っ´ω`c)Eh, I probably won't watch it
and honestly, that vague anxiety about the future really can be solved with money
Please send me some PayPay😭 ahh (PayPay = a popular Japanese mobile payment app)
(ꐦ·᷅ὢ·᷄ꐦ )So YOU'RE the one running the PayPay-begging script!!!!
(´･ω･`)You're a SEGA kid, aren't you
(っ´ω`c)Yep
Like, you don't open your window and see the house right next door, right??
Paying for 'space' like that feels kind of dumb though
When you think about it, with tower condos you don't even own any land, yet the price is about the same as a detached house — feels like you're getting ripped off
(っ´ω`c)I get wanting to own land, you can sell it if something happens. So you actually do want to drive, huh?
If I had infinite money, I think I'd want to drive
I might even get good at it
Out in the countryside, or when traveling, it's rough without a rental car
Doing everything by bus is a pain
(っ´ω`c)Yeah, being able to drive really comes in handy. By the way, why'd you stop watching SixTONES?
Because he's the son of a doctor at a big hospital
He's got money to do whatever he likes, and he's even got a 手帳 (disability/welfare certificate — dark-humor 5ch slang)
Might just be unbeatable
Guess frozen food really is the way to go after all
(っ´ω`c)Apparently even Ryuji (the famous cooking YouTuber) said it's bad
Night
Sleep tight under a towel blanket
･_･`)ﾉNight, Pomi~
Background and Key Points of This Topic
The Monster Hunter series is a popular hunting-action franchise from Capcom that built its fanbase through console and handheld titles like ‘3rd,’ ‘World,’ and ‘4G.’ ‘Outlanders,’ the title discussed in the thread, appears to be a new smartphone entry in the series, and notably, it was the longtime fans — the ones who’ve followed the series for years — who responded with comments like ‘I don’t have the stamina anymore’ or ‘I was already satisfied with 3rd.’ At the same time, news that another popular social game was ending its service overlapped with the discussion, prompting some to suggest switching over to the new title. The thread follows 5ch VIP’s classic format, where the ASCII-art character ‘Pomi’ kicks off the topic and other posters chime in however they like — so it’s no surprise the chat drifted into the weather and convenience-store food as usual. Given that flow, comments like ‘I don’t have the stamina’ are best read not as genuine health complaints, but as the kind of lighthearted, self-deprecating humor you’d expect from longtime fans.
