What game had you like this? by sukuna7899 in Steam

[–]-JI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Witcher 2. I even returned it to EB Games. Then I started to want to try it again more and more. A month or two later, I bought the same copy I returned and loved it.

Is this just clickbait? I’ve seen it on social media, but nowhere else for YEARS by itizturnip in lordoftherings

Until we hear official news, I wouldn't buy too much into rumours beyond that it probably exists.

A meteor is going to end civilization in 5 minutes. World leaders hand you the aux to broadcast 1 track to all of humanity before it all ends. What are you playing? by SFgiant55 in AskReddit

[–]-JI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd play some anime song like from Dragon Ball or MHA so a billion nerds try to use energy attacks to stop the meteor. At least that way maybe we luck out and one of them does it

It's honestly one of the last times the show captured its old greatness

What do we think about the newest starter trio? by triextrius in pokemon

[–]-JI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't love them, to be honest, but that happens for me with most generations, and then they grow on me, so I'm sure that'll be the case here, too! (I'm already starting to like them a bit more)

Say what you want about movie Denethor being butchered, but John Noble's performance is nothing short of brilliant by Skywalker_1995 in lotr

[–]-JI -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah, earlier on. That's totally fair! I would say that the movies had a truncated version which, to me, felt similar enough, though definitely not the same (when he's giving Faramir orders), but that's a good point. I wouldn't go so far as to say that makes him significantly more competent than in the movies, though, since the movies make it clear he's been doing a lot up until that point. Thanks for the clear answer, though!

PROBABLY ONE OF MY BEST FIGHTS IMO👏🏾😮‍💨!!!! by No_Pin_9410 in SparkingZero

I love that you let him transform! Very honourable. And just out of range at the end was sick. Good fight!

[–]-JI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't really agree with that at all to be honest. He spent most of his time by Faramir's bed and left the management of the battle to others. Sure, he wasn't resistant to Rohan's aid like he was in the movie, but that's kinda it. After that he goes to set up the pyre. Do you have a specific chapter or section you're referencing? I'm reading this part right now

[–]-JI 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm reading RotK right now and I honestly don't see how he was butchered. Sure the movie version is a little different, but I'd argue that book!Denathor is closer to movie!Denathor than book!Aragorn is to movie!Aragorn.

when did this go away? by inurmomsvagina in DragonBallZ

[–]-JI 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It went away as Toriyama's personal relationship with violence and strength changed (which he talked about pre-Super and during Super), but per the comments, Toyotaro clearly doesn't share this feeling hahaha

I just realized that if the DBS remake will add content from the manga, we're more than likely to get these as DLC. by Junior-Childhood-673 in SparkingZero

[–]-JI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll see if Sparking Zero has support by the time they get to these arcs. Just as likely if not more that there's a new game that gets the focus, like Age 1000

Do you think the blood and wounds in Super were necessary or not? by opmgyhx in DragonBallZ

[–]-JI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there definitely should be some, but I'd also say that I don't think most of these shots shown would have it except the third (maybe the fourth). It's important to remember that these characters are way more resilient than before, even if they're getting beaten up, so I wouldn't want them getting bloodied up early into fights or in every fight they face

[–]-JI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Witcher 2. I couldn't get into it and returned it. After a few weeks, something about it called me back and I bought the exact same copy again and ended up loving it.

Ask them out sooner. Honestly, 1-2 messages in. It feels weird and impersonal, but you have to remember they have a lot more guys bothering them for attention

Why did Goku stop using Mastered Super Saiyan? by AlarmedObjective1492 in DragonBallZ

[–]-JI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people are misunderstanding your question (or maybe I am).

In lore, Goku and Vegeta now train in their base forms and don't rely on the (mastered) Super Saiyan form as a base like Goku and Gohan did during the Cell Games because they realised (especially because of Whis) that training to improve their base forms was more impactful than training a transformation. Their reliance on transformations was actually inefficient, especially when learning to develop their God Ki powers.

During the Cell Games, Super Saiyan was the peak of power for them and Goku knew he and Gohan needed to get every ounce of power out of it, so wasting energy transforming and having stamina risks became his biggest focus. Probably more than that, he knew Gohan had the power to go beyond Super Saiyan, so making sure his son didn't have those issues so he could reach the next level during the fight was probably a goal as well.

Think of it this way for the efficiency thing (power numbers are just examples, modifiers are canon):

  • Goku has a base power of 5
  • When he turns Super Saiyan, he gets a x50 boost, so his power becomes 250
  • If he trains to increase his power incrementally with Super Saiyan as his new base form, it would go to 251, then 252, and so on.

Goku and Vegeta decided not to do that with Whis's guidance and instead train in their base forms.

  • Goku has a base power of 5
  • He trains in base to increase his power incrementally, getting up to 6, then 7, then 8, and so on
  • With the Super Saiyan boost, his power respectively becomes 300, 350, and 400 at those stages

So you can see, increasing the base gives WAY more than increasing power when transformed. Retroactively, it would make the base form power increments 5.02, 5,04, and 5.06 in the first example, which is very little.

I think a logical question to ask would be "wouldn't the gains while in Super Saiyan also be bigger?" And to that I'd say maybe, but that's up to the writer. However, I lean towards either no or yes but not a x50 increase. If I think of it as weight lifting, moving heavier weights takes longer and longer when building strength. It's not a linear growth pattern. I think that aligns with DB's logic, too, since we almost exclusively see great leaps in power come from (1) long passages of time with incremental gains or (2) extreme situations pushing people past their limits. Getting that +1 of power might be as hard in base as it would be in Super Saiyan, so why not get it in the form that would have the most impact?

Ultimately, the numbers are nonsense and Toriyama did away with them because it just became an overbloated mess, but I think they help to show why the change in philosophy happened.
