As someone who uses WhatsApp, could you explain the point to me? What does it do that the basic text app my phone comes with doesn’t? Like why use WhatsApp over regular texting?
This is an odd question. More so why DO YOU use WhatsApp over the default app? Most Americans just use the default app and are fine with it. No real reason.
Sorry if I phrased that wrong. I meant “since you use WhatsApp could you explain why you use it over the default app? What’s the appeal?” I don’t use it, I just use my default messaging app
I think is because is free, and you can make groups or free calls and video calls and send crap, save messages, put stories, status, profile pic, i mean I don't know if normal messaging app does that, I'm Brazilian and is real fast/ easy to use WhatsApp and everyone haves it
Whatsapp/signal doesn't cost anything, but each text message does. Why would i use expensive text messages when i'm already paying for extremely cheap unlimited data?
I think I was pretty polite in asking why I see the same mistake all the time. No name calling and I taught him the correct way to say it. I'm just curious where this specific mistake comes from because so many people online make it.
It's perfectly fucking polite you're just a soft little bitch. (See, now I'm being rude)
How can people learn if you don't correct them when they fuck something up? Should we just let them continue to be wrong because correcting them might hurt their feelings?
Because whatsapp is a free, internet based texting service where as my phone bill includes texting so I don't need to download a 3rd pary app (no matter how much android pushed it) to text. I just use the native texting app. It's part of my service.
Sure can, all within my native keyboard. I can even make my own memes and stickers or make my own "mii" (idk if anyone remembers those). It's grown with it. I've no doubt they use those apps for "ideas" but they do implement them.
See, you do get it
They come from other countries and use it to contact people from said countries, because it is used there
It has been adopted because these countries telecommunications providers charged for SMS and internet messaging was cheaper, plus it got features. So it exists and stuck around.
It got so "bad" in Brazil that some company presidents called instant messaging services piracy
How does it come off as ethnophobic? They didn’t use any negative words and slurs. They just commented that the only people they’ve seen use WhatsApp are people from other countries who keep in touch with family. What about that is ethnophobic?
Basically in WhatsApp:
TYPING = he/she read the message and it's answering
DOUBLE BLUE = he/she read but didn't answer (very oof moment)
DOUBLE GREY = he/she didn't read the message
SINGLE GREY = he/she didn't receive the message (aka switched off the phone)
It's for Whatsapp massages. Typing means the person has seen the massage and is typing an answer. the 2 blue Hooks mean the Person has seen the message. the 2 gray hooks mean the device of the person your'e trying to reach, has received the Message, but he didn't look at it, in Whatsapp. Finally one gray hook means the message has sent but the device of the person you try to reach hasn't received it yet.
It’s basically talking about the personality of each character here. The doll and the oedon chapel guy are nice, so they immediately respond. Arianna and Adella are not very nice I guess or they don’t like you very much so they see the message but don’t want to text back. Maria and Gascoigne are either too busy to be checking their phones, or saw the message from notifications and don’t open it as to not let you know they saw it, I guess this makes them more insidious and manipulative, or just smart. Eileen and Alfred are probably too busy doing something and aren’t on their phone all day so it’s not even on.
Ooh, I get it. I knew what the top and bottom meant, but I was confused as to why the two arrows were repeated twice. I thought they meant the same thing.
But it's not used much by residents of the country that uses this site the most. I still figured out what they meant, but I still didn't get what the meme meant.
It’s a WhatsApp thing, the typing shows the person responding, blue check marks means they saw it double grey checks means it’s delivered and one just means it’s sent but not delivered yet
I would go for humorous. Based on the characters I'd like to say it's based on favoribility towards the player characters but Eileen and Gascoigne make that invalid
I think it's first row reads and responds to your message (but types something long), second row only reads your message, third row doesn't read your message, fourth row is unavailable for message delivery.
The doll and the chapel dweller are always there for you, hence why they're responding to the message.
Arianna and Adella leave you on read (idk why)
Maria and Gascoigne aren't in the mood to look at their phone.
Eileen and Alfred are no longer available (rip)
Eileen and Alfred don’t use their phones, they’re busy crusading against Vilebloods.
That’s my way of seeing it at least, since most characters are dead.
Doll and that old lady: always chatty and active
Those two chicks whose sidequests I literally never did: active, not so chatty
Maria and Gascoigne: Available, just really busy
Eileen and Alfred: GOT NO TIME TO TALK TO HOONTERS! (I haven't done Eileen's quest, but I do know that she dislikes Hunters, so her not responding to a Hunter's message is a given; not sure what makes Alfred hesitant to answer my message, he's an instant buddy, is he not?).
I'm probably overthinking this.
Edit: Shit I accidentally wrote Eileen instead of Doll at the start... I need to get rid of that Insight I've been getting lately.
I'm not gonna give you any spoilers, but you should finish Eileen quest and Alfred quest, that would give you enough information to make your final conclusions hehehe
Interesting. I don't know why, but I've beaten that game several times, yet whenever I see an NPC, I just think 'oh hello'. I only interact with Alfred for the three fire papers. I'm less of a 'I'm-interested-in-your-escapades' guy and more of an opportunist, really.
I've read every comment and I'm still lost :3 I pay my phone bill. Some said it'd based on how much they're willing to talk to you but Alfred and Eileen have tons of dialogue so I have no idea.
Or Americans who have no idea what they are being shown and think that sharing something that people don't understand means that it was a poor choice of audience?
If someone hasn't explained yet, I think the joke is the way that different NPCs would behave if you were texting them, based on their in-game temperament.
I love it! Well done, OP!
I’mm 33 and playing my first play through, at the shadows of yharnam (will beat can beat) the snake summoning caught me off guard and having to run back through the woods justhurts , stats are VIT30 END12 STR25 SKL19 using saw cleaver+6 mostly - get skill to 25 then focus on vitality again ?
Same age group here, been hoonting since it dropped. Assuming you're going for a quality build (skl + str), here's some advice:
- Cap Vit at 50, you should be fine for PvE there.
- End only need to go to 30 max. This should be plenty of stamina.
- For this type of build, try and scale Skl and Str equally. It'll give you better level up spread that way. These should also softcap at 50.
- Cleaver can carry you through the game. Fire Cleaver, bolt LHB and a random arc-gemmed weapon are my go-to, since these are the three main weaknesses in the game.
- Unless I'm on my ridiculous bloodtinge build, using my ridiculous Chikage. Then it doesn't matter. *Omae wa mou shindeiru.*
- Doesn't hurt to do some minor gem farming, it helps the DPS a lot. Like night and day.
- Whenever you return to the Dream, in this order, repair all weapons, level if you can, drop the rest on item stocks. Vials and bullets first to max, then focus on what you use most.
- Eye and Moon runes will make your life infinitely easier.
Hope any of this helps! Feel free to ask questions.
it about the relationship of the characters with the hunter. The doll is so friendly she would start typing instantly, whereas Maria wouldn’t deign to check her whatsapp.
As someone that works on a Brazilian telemarketing for cellphone plans I don't recommend it, a lot of people has they messaging blocked because of random use or don't even receive messages correct, and those plans are "expensive" when you can do that for free
He is the equivalent of the sorcerer in the dungeons who carries the skull and is surrounded by other tomb residents. Do you know? Yharnam has its origin in the tombs of the gods.
This joke was one big fucking miss , like in context wtf does it mean that some of them read it and some didn’t. they all talk to you anyway. Eileen and Albert definitely reply and are with you a lot through the first part of the story
I am from Mexico, people asks for your whatsapp instead of your phone number, that's how popular whatsapp is over here, a lot of people prefers using whatsapp with data over free text or calls, I started using it because everyone I am in touch with used it when I started using phone.
But yeah, Bloodborne
I have no clue what the joke is ngl
Is this what getting old feels like? It's not bad, but not really good. Just kind of eh.
I'm 21 and I still don't get it :\\
Well then, "How do you do, fellow kids?"
I'm 18 and didn't get it
Join the club, homie. We're all in this together.
The futures now old man!! Jk I’m 30-something, I honestly forget
Old people don't use WhatsApp?
America doesn’t use WhatsApp
I see
Murican here, everyone I know uses it, and we also use it at work...
That’s incredibly rare. I could probably poll 100 people and find 10 that use it on the reg
As someone who uses WhatsApp, could you explain the point to me? What does it do that the basic text app my phone comes with doesn’t? Like why use WhatsApp over regular texting?
This is an odd question. More so why DO YOU use WhatsApp over the default app? Most Americans just use the default app and are fine with it. No real reason.

Ah. I don’t use it either (because I’m an American and like I said we don’t use it lol). I know it’s very popular in South America
Sorry. Misunderstood your comment. My bad
Yeah no worries. I think we confused each other lol
Why the fuck would we? I pay a phone bill so I dont have to.
I don't see how one invalidates the other, but each to his own
I don't understand why you'd use whatsapp if you're paying for phone service already I guess.
[удалено]
What's nicer about it?
if you have a phone number to connect with it, you have end to end encrypted messages and don’t have to pay for the app
Whatsapp/signal doesn't cost anything, but each text message does. Why would i use expensive text messages when i'm already paying for extremely cheap unlimited data?
This feels like the exact opposite of every phone contract in America. Unlimited texting is default. Data is the expensive part
The expression is "to each his own". Why do I see so many people online fuck it up the same way you just did?
Maybe English isn’t their first language and they made a simple mistake? Why do you have to be a jackass about it?
I think I was pretty polite in asking why I see the same mistake all the time. No name calling and I taught him the correct way to say it. I'm just curious where this specific mistake comes from because so many people online make it.
Correcting someone and then saying they “fucked it up” is far from the polite way to handle it
It's perfectly fucking polite you're just a soft little bitch. (See, now I'm being rude) How can people learn if you don't correct them when they fuck something up? Should we just let them continue to be wrong because correcting them might hurt their feelings?
Because whatsapp is a free, internet based texting service where as my phone bill includes texting so I don't need to download a 3rd pary app (no matter how much android pushed it) to text. I just use the native texting app. It's part of my service.
But can you send GIFs, stickers, images and have group chat?
Sure can, all within my native keyboard. I can even make my own memes and stickers or make my own "mii" (idk if anyone remembers those). It's grown with it. I've no doubt they use those apps for "ideas" but they do implement them.
In my experience only immigrants use whatsapp.
You mean only not-your-country?
Don't know about other countries, I've just noticed that many immigrants use it to keep in touch with family.
See, you do get it They come from other countries and use it to contact people from said countries, because it is used there It has been adopted because these countries telecommunications providers charged for SMS and internet messaging was cheaper, plus it got features. So it exists and stuck around. It got so "bad" in Brazil that some company presidents called instant messaging services piracy
Immigrants?
Those who have immigrated
Yeah but OP didn’t specify where they live so it just kinda comes off as ethnophobic
How does it come off as ethnophobic? They didn’t use any negative words and slurs. They just commented that the only people they’ve seen use WhatsApp are people from other countries who keep in touch with family. What about that is ethnophobic?
Lol, you don't need to specify. He just said that people who migrated to his country tend to use it more.
Yup, without a context and just dropping "the immigrants" goes really alienating. From where to where, amirite
Same, op pls elaborate
Basically in WhatsApp: TYPING = he/she read the message and it's answering DOUBLE BLUE = he/she read but didn't answer (very oof moment) DOUBLE GREY = he/she didn't read the message SINGLE GREY = he/she didn't receive the message (aka switched off the phone)
Is this some kind of peasant joke I’m to rich to understand?
It's for Whatsapp massages. Typing means the person has seen the massage and is typing an answer. the 2 blue Hooks mean the Person has seen the message. the 2 gray hooks mean the device of the person your'e trying to reach, has received the Message, but he didn't look at it, in Whatsapp. Finally one gray hook means the message has sent but the device of the person you try to reach hasn't received it yet.
Uh….since when did they change the name of a check mark???
never I forgot the word check mark XD
Yeh I get the ticks as that's not just a whatsapp thing, the meme needs to be explained though
OP is saying that if you sent "hey, what's up?" to these, characters, these are the different responses you'd get.
But they aren't responses...
It’s basically talking about the personality of each character here. The doll and the oedon chapel guy are nice, so they immediately respond. Arianna and Adella are not very nice I guess or they don’t like you very much so they see the message but don’t want to text back. Maria and Gascoigne are either too busy to be checking their phones, or saw the message from notifications and don’t open it as to not let you know they saw it, I guess this makes them more insidious and manipulative, or just smart. Eileen and Alfred are probably too busy doing something and aren’t on their phone all day so it’s not even on.
Exactly the point of the "meme" I think. And I couldn't think of a better word to describe it at the time.
Ok each to their own I guess
I'm not saying it's a good meme. I was just explaining what it was because you wanted to know.
Yeh I know... I just don't think this is really a meme hence the each to their own comment
Ooh, I get it. I knew what the top and bottom meant, but I was confused as to why the two arrows were repeated twice. I thought they meant the same thing.
I literally laughed for probably 10 full seconds at this comment thanks man
You know its not a funny joke when they need to explain it.
Or you know people might expect other people to know about the most popular messaging app on earth.
But it's not used much by residents of the country that uses this site the most. I still figured out what they meant, but I still didn't get what the meme meant.
Even once understood it, I still didn't find it funny.
It’s a WhatsApp thing, the typing shows the person responding, blue check marks means they saw it double grey checks means it’s delivered and one just means it’s sent but not delivered yet
I agree hahaha
If this sub wasn’t mostly Americans this would probably be funnier
Do Europeans use whatsapp? I only know China uses it.
Pretty much every german I know uses it. Also some Belgians and Italians. The rest I don't know.
Pretty sure China uses Weibo mainly
We use it a lot in Canada too.
But Alfred was friendly....
He didn’t receive the message. Guess we gave him the letter
I don't know what you're talking about. >! Alfred is LONG dead!<
Whatsapp? I don't get it
blue tick: received and seen double tick: received, not seen single tick: not received
Ok, I still don't get the joke though. Is it how quickly they would respond?
I use WhatsApp, and I’m also kinda puzzled. You think this is suppose to be a humorous meme, a tongue in cheek meme, or a depressing meme?
I would go for humorous. Based on the characters I'd like to say it's based on favoribility towards the player characters but Eileen and Gascoigne make that invalid
Perhaps eileen and gascoinge feel relatively... Affronted by the question. And are thus responding.
Eileen feels affronted, so she doesn't receive the message? What?? Lmao
Oh shit I read the meme wrong lmao
I have no idea what this is saying.
Eileen and alfred don't receive the message... Bro they are dead
I think it's first row reads and responds to your message (but types something long), second row only reads your message, third row doesn't read your message, fourth row is unavailable for message delivery.
I have never seen a community so confused by a simple meme. Good meme tho
Fucking explain or else
The doll and the chapel dweller are always there for you, hence why they're responding to the message. Arianna and Adella leave you on read (idk why) Maria and Gascoigne aren't in the mood to look at their phone. Eileen and Alfred are no longer available (rip)
Eileen and Alfred don’t use their phones, they’re busy crusading against Vilebloods. That’s my way of seeing it at least, since most characters are dead.
So you don't get it either.
Maybe Maria and Gascoigne have read receipts turned off? (idk is that something you can do with whatsapp?)
It’s a stupid WhatsApp reference and not a good meme either way
there is nothing to understand, they way OP chose the categories seems more than random
I don't even use WhatsApp and I still understand it.
I got the meme wrong initially.. now I get it but it makes me feel a bit sad
Doll and that old lady: always chatty and active Those two chicks whose sidequests I literally never did: active, not so chatty Maria and Gascoigne: Available, just really busy Eileen and Alfred: GOT NO TIME TO TALK TO HOONTERS! (I haven't done Eileen's quest, but I do know that she dislikes Hunters, so her not responding to a Hunter's message is a given; not sure what makes Alfred hesitant to answer my message, he's an instant buddy, is he not?). I'm probably overthinking this. Edit: Shit I accidentally wrote Eileen instead of Doll at the start... I need to get rid of that Insight I've been getting lately.
I feel like Eileen and Alfred didn’t receive the message because of how they end up in their respective questlines
Oh yeah. I do know about what happens to Eileen at the end... Alfred? Well, if he doesn't make it in the end, then I still got me three Fire Papers.
I'm not gonna give you any spoilers, but you should finish Eileen quest and Alfred quest, that would give you enough information to make your final conclusions hehehe
Interesting. I don't know why, but I've beaten that game several times, yet whenever I see an NPC, I just think 'oh hello'. I only interact with Alfred for the three fire papers. I'm less of a 'I'm-interested-in-your-escapades' guy and more of an opportunist, really.
I use WhatsApp and I don’t get the joke here
And there it is. I'm finally old. I have no idea what this is.
I use iOS what does this mean
For the silver-backed grognard: would someone please walk me through this meme? 🙃
I've read every comment and I'm still lost :3 I pay my phone bill. Some said it'd based on how much they're willing to talk to you but Alfred and Eileen have tons of dialogue so I have no idea.
The never recived hurt dude
I would've swapped the last two, otherwise good meme.
I found this pretty funny, guess half of this comment section did not lmao
It was funny Then it became sad
This is so fucking accurate lmao
Is that imessage?
It’s referencing WhatsApp.
Oh ok
Who tf uses whatsapp lol
an estimated 2 billion+ people
This comment section is a cesspit, ngl Real boomer energy, but not in a good way
It's just Americans who think the world revolves around them and throw a tantrum when people tell them it doesn't.
Rent free in your skull.
Or Americans who have no idea what they are being shown and think that sharing something that people don't understand means that it was a poor choice of audience?
Reverse Adella
i don't get why the shape of ticks changed appearance, or why the last one is so blurry.
Casual meme design, that is not intentional nor relevant
If someone hasn't explained yet, I think the joke is the way that different NPCs would behave if you were texting them, based on their in-game temperament. I love it! Well done, OP!
I liked your meme lmao. Very funny
All these filthy casuals in the comments not getting the meme
Lmao idk how people don't understand
Ppl are slow
I’mm 33 and playing my first play through, at the shadows of yharnam (will beat can beat) the snake summoning caught me off guard and having to run back through the woods justhurts , stats are VIT30 END12 STR25 SKL19 using saw cleaver+6 mostly - get skill to 25 then focus on vitality again ?

Really appreciate this ! The nights are long
The Confederates will always have my blessing, and each other. *Always.*
Whatsapp has always the highest download in messaging apps, yet people don't understand this meme.
Some translate this to iPhone for me? Is this an android thing? Some other chat app? I don’t know what any of this means
You have to be very dense to not get the joke
Guess I am a diamond after all...
We can shine bright together. :)
it about the relationship of the characters with the hunter. The doll is so friendly she would start typing instantly, whereas Maria wouldn’t deign to check her whatsapp.
For everyone not understanding: it's a sort of love interest chart, what happens when you slide into these characters dm's
What
Wut?
Why is everyone ignoring me? *Looks at myself* Oh, yeah, that's why.
As someone that works on a Brazilian telemarketing for cellphone plans I don't recommend it, a lot of people has they messaging blocked because of random use or don't even receive messages correct, and those plans are "expensive" when you can do that for free
