"Stupid shit weeaboos say" is not a regional accent. It's not anything.
Depends how you define "regional".
It's perfectly possible for teenagers to have spent massive amounts of time communicating primarily with a social group that is not necessarily nearby in the geographical sense, and consuming media that doesn't necessarily reflect the accents and modes of speech of people in their immediate geographical area.
The way those kids talk isn't anything more linguistically noteworthy than the way sports fans communicate with one another.
If you say so. I'm just pointing out that there are influences on accent and mode of speech that can be just as, if not more significant than location.
Can you cite some of them?
Because the anime-fan subculture example is a pretty bad one, and as DK noted: It's forced, not genuine.
I have known a lot of people a few years younger than me who grew up with cartoons from the US who use US words for things quite naturally, phrase sentences in ways that seem familiar from US TV shows and suchlike. The big example is a friend of mine who has always used sidewalk instead of pavement.
That's far more genuine an example. I still think it falls well short of being grouped alongside regional accents (some of which are extremely distinct) and the african-american urban slang which we've come to call ebonics, which is at times so divorced from standard English as to render communication difficult to say the least.

Well, there are plenty of white guys in this city with strong Caribbean accents, despite the vast majority of people they encounter not having such an accent. If their social circle is such that they spend most of their time with a select group of people who have retained, or picked up from family, a particular Caribbean accent, chances are that's how they'll speak.
Well, that is no bad thing I guess. I'm not sure how I'd cope with such friends, if I had them. Although I guess I was able to hang out with a few Goths for a couple of years without catching it, or freaking out - so maybe it would be ok
Honestly it's far worse if you actually speak Japanese. If you don't, you can dismiss it as "Oh, that's kinda weird."
If you do it often feels like you're listening to text speak. Except instead of misspelling everything, it's grammatically nonsensical.
One of my best friends in high school was pretty goth. But she was mature enough to not act like a moron. Just liked the fashion and enjoyed metal and dudes with long black hair and yelling.

Haven't played new vegas, is that console only? I am not a console gamer. PC all the way for me, and with all the glorious problems that go along with it, you get mods.

I know this short beef blond white dude

it's fucking hilarious listening to him

I just shaved for the first time with a real razor and not an electric one and why the fuck didn't I do this sooner
I went in the other direction because I don't like bleeding and am horrific at using things with actual blades.
Like, all things with blades. I'm ok with knives, but everything else is horrific. A couple weeks ago in jewelry I cut through a piece of metal and only later realized that I'd somehow positioned my hand so that I was sawing through my thumbnail.

I suppose I should check this out
there's a lesbian one too, I can't remember what it's called but the gay one is called "confirmed bachelor" and gives you unique chat options and 10% extra damage to other males
although as I understand it there's only a few people that react to this perk. mainly for flavor in that regard

It was the same way for Lady Killer and Black Widow in FO3.

It doesn't matter how many blades, I'll find a way to cut myself.
So I started playing Alpha Protocol and it turns out I'm terrible at being stealthy. Just awful. Should I stop now or can the game be played as someone who is... more violent and less stealthy?

I seduced a ton of people with Black Widow in F3, also 10% more damage to 90% of foes was p. good

as long as you don't slice with it you won't cut yourself

let's combine all the conversations and note that not being able to play a woman in Alpha Protocol was pretty shitty

My game was so modded that that didn't really matter. The damage, that is. It was practically an FPS by the time I was done with it.

For a while my politics thread was the third or fourth result for "midterm midtacular". I think it's down to 7th now.
Damn, one of my banks is really keen to lend me money.
I don't even get statements from them and they still send me a "Why not take out a personal loan!" letter once a fortnight. Now there is an interstitial ad for their personal loans between the log in page and the accounts screen of my online banking.
yeah I don't think I'm ready for a straight razor yet. or ever. I honestly don't care that much.
I think it'd be nice to shave with one. I enjoy spending a lot of time shaving, it's basically zen meditation but with thousand-bladed plastic shit there's just so much you can do in terms of technique and whatever

Lloyds do this to me. I get most weeks an invitation to borrow 15k or an invitation to upgrade my account. What an awesome use of resources

Same group of companies, so probably the same policy now being applied to the other brands.
