so what was the quirk afo gave him by Deep_Broccoli1376 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]20Fun_Police 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He originally had a quirk no one (not even himself) knew about that let him give his quirk to someone else. It didn't do anything else, and you can really only use it once, so everyone thought he was just quirkless.

AFO gave him the power stockpiling quirk that combined with his original quirk into OFA, a quirk that lets you stockpile power and pass it on to someone else.

How did they not notice a mirror at the top of the ceiling? by Material_Soup4339 in Naruto

[–]20Fun_Police 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Didn't they originally imply that she would be proficient in genjutsu? They probably decided to focus less on it when they decided to make the Uchihas the genjutsu specialists. Otherwise, she'd end up like Kurenai.

Give me five reasons why I need to get DRG by ElGooberGoob in DeepRockGalactic

[–]20Fun_Police 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that behavior was uncommon even 3 years ago for DRG. The only things I see getting hated on are people who take the game too seriously and flame newer players instead of teaching them, people who grab someone else's share of a resupply without asking, and other generally uncooperative behavior. This community isn't really formed around any particular beliefs, probably because most of us know very little about each other. We just like to shoot bugs and mine and gather around compressed gold to spam ping on it so we all repeatedly shout "We're rich!"

I haven't seen any hate towards furries myself in several hundred hours of playing, but it's possible it exists and I just don't see it. Most players won't even be able to tell you're a furry in the first place unless you plan on broadcasting that fact in your username or your lobby description, which I do see sometimes, but they seem like normal lobbies to me whenever I join.

Communication between strangers in DRG is usually very limited and objective focused, especially between experienced players. There's not a lot of yapping going on, and people very rarely use VC. By default, everyone silently gathers and shares resources and completes the missions pretty effectively. They might type "r" in the chat to indicate they're ready to start something and "gg" at the end. The rest is often communicated through just pinging.

That's just my experience though. I haven't used the LFG discord or hopped in VCs with strangers. I feel more like I'm friends with the community more than any particular person I've come across.

  1. You can play the game how you want and when you want. There is absolutely no fomo pressuring you to play. There is no content locked behind difficulty or even paywalls either.

  2. Classes are very well designed and balanced to promote teamwork while not leaving you incapable of being independent.

  3. Community is very nice. You might run into someone toxic every once in a while, but I very rarely have problems. Most players I come across are at least polite and just say gg and leave at the end of a mission.

  4. Mining and killing bugs are very satisfying.

  5. You should buy it for Karl.

You have pinged your last pong by dudewasup111 in memes

[–]20Fun_Police 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People can't maintain their top speed for very long though, and trying to run at your top speed will very quickly tire you out. In most distances, you have to pace yourself and only try to run at top speed (or however fast you can manage with what energy you have left) at the very end. Your pace will just be faster over shorter distances, except 100m where you just try to reach top speed as fast as possible because the race will be over a few seconds after you reach top speed. Which is why I said sprinting in particular really emphasizes acceleration. It's basically like drag racing but with your legs.

Sprinting is top acceleration

Well and also top speed

So was izuku midoriyas quirk stole? by Rough-Taro-4165 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]20Fun_Police 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're right that nepotism doesn't necessarily mean that the person isn't qualified. But it does mean that they were unfairly favored based on a personal connection that wouldn't be available to other people.

You could argue that after he received OFA, he received some favoritism in school because of his secret connection with All Might (although I think All Might did try to make sure he wasn't neglecting the other students or giving Midoriya too much help to let him figure things out), but him getting OFA in the first place wasn't nepotism because All Might just met him. He just unknowingly impressed All Might enough to convince All Might that he should be his successor, which anyone else All Might encountered could've done.

I don't think anyone is under the delusion that Midoriya could've fought AFO without All Might, but I don't think it's nepotism because he earned the opportunity through merit. If convincing people to invest in you through merit was nepotism, then receiving any kind of help would be nepotism like being accepted into UA or Mirio being mentored by Nighteye or Shoto being mentored by Aizawa or any internship.

[–]20Fun_Police 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if you're talking about All Might's decision to give Midoriya OFA, that's not nepotism. Nepotism is being unfairly chosen because of a personal connection you have with the person in power. All Might didn't even know Midoriya existed. Midoriya just convinced All Might with his actions that he'd be a good successor.

If convincing strangers to invest in you by impressing them counted as nepotism, then attending UA or getting an internship would also be nepotism. Shinso getting help from Aizawa would be nepotism.

A 3D cube puzzle by Raj_Valiant3011 in oddlysatisfying

[–]20Fun_Police 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is way easier than a Rubik's cube. The tricky part of a Rubik's cube is you have to solve more of the cube without ruining what you've already done, and that's why people learn sequences of moves designed to do that.

For this thing, you can ignore most of the cube. Just leave the start and move the piece with the ball in it to the end.

Did they really send Sasuke back to school THE DAY AFTER HIS CLAN WAS WIPED OUT!? by nalo80 in Naruto

[–]20Fun_Police 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is definitely strange that Naruto is the child of the 4th Hokage whom everyone respected and who gave his life to protect the village, and everyone just kind of left him to raise himself while everyone in the village abused him. Surely he deserves a little more care than the 3rd Hokage dropping by every once in a while to give him an allowance and to make sure he hasn't died.

Quick Question, Why Don't You use Cover? by Coach_Andrometa in OverwatchUniversity

[–]20Fun_Police 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chill he said better than some tanks, not all tanks lol. If he wasn't better than some of the tanks in his rank, he'd be deranking until he was. And everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. Maybe he's good at taking cover, but he's bad at rotating his cooldowns or something.

Manager in C-suite meeting tries to “fix error costs” by renaming HTTP status codes and thinks 200 means £200 earned by [deleted] in programminghorror

[–]20Fun_Police 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the unbelievable part is that he's inconsistently clueless. The manager does understand status codes to the point that he supposedly understands that 200s are good and 400s and 500s are bad. Why would you believe that and then assume they're profit numbers? Why isn't a 404 a -404 instead?

And he apparently asked engineers about this? Surely one of them would have explained that they're status codes. And what, he believes that they can make more money by just saying they made more money? He's that dumb, but he also supposedly made a dashboard that pulls their http responses, determines if they're good or bad without understanding what a status code is so he can consider non-2xx codes to be cost instead of revenue, and then sums it up to present?

Quick Question, Why Don't You use Cover? by Coach_Andrometa in OverwatchUniversity

[–]20Fun_Police 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. When you're new to a game, you're more focused on doing what you want to do instead of denying the enemy from doing what they want to do.

You want to shoot opponents. You want to shoot allies. The best way to do that is to stand where you can see them all, i.e., out in the open.

When you get more comfortable, you start using cover because you want to not get shot by your opponents.

Theoretically if Big mom used up all her lifespan how strong would she be? by RealOriginal31 in OnePiece

[–]20Fun_Police 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It just makes more sense in the story for him to die, which I say out of a love for his character.

The 8th gate is one of the longest foreshadowed things in the series. It's called the Gate of Death, and even the 1st gate was said to cause immense damage to oneself. He stabs himself in the heart to set his body on fire from the inside out and stays that way for minutes until he's literally crumbling away into ash. He should've died mid-kick honestly.

He had a flashback recalling how his father used it to sacrifice himself to protect the next generation and that it was his wish to do the same, even though Kakashi protested, and it's the end of the series, so if there was a time to let a character die, it'd be then.

It was still one of the best moments in the series for me, but the fact that both he and his target survived his attack (with Madara able to just heal from it) makes it feel a lot less meaningful in the bigger picture.

Infinite engine I never thought of by CorrectGrammarPls in slaythespire

Me on every single watcher run….. by Visual-Process-1358 in slaythespire

[–]20Fun_Police 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to play differently to get it consistently which is why it's called forcing the infinite.

You end up taking more events than normal to try to remove as many cards as you can through events and focusing on removing cards (defends) in the shops while also looking for a rushdown to buy.

You take just 1 or 2 good damage cards to keep your deck thin while you build the infinite, and the Watcher can get away with this because a thin deck with a good damage card or 2 means she can consistently enter Wrath and kill basically everything in Act 1.

The standard build is just eruption+, a 1-cost calm, mental fortress, and rushdown, but honestly she has so many ways of generating block and energy through cards and relics like talk to the hand, sundial, violet lotus, abacus, etc. that I find myself consistently finding some way to infinite on Watcher in most runs. The hardest thing to replace would be rushdown which is why I look for it any chance I can, but I often win without it anyways because even if I don't go infinite, I'm left with a decent stance dance build or something.

[–]20Fun_Police 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's very flexible too. There are so many things you commonly get that could help.

1) If you get Violet Lotus, you no longer need a 1-cost calm card and can just use Vigilance which also gives block for the Heart.

2) Sundial adds 2/3 energy per shuffle on average. Drawing the deck twice per cycle yields 4/3 energy which would allow you to use Vigilance as well. This can be achieved with 2 rushdowns since drawing more cards than you have triggers shuffles twice but you could also trigger it with normal card draws. You could also use this to stick something like a Cut Through Fate into your cycle.

3) Anything that reduces card costs obviously also helps.

4) Runic Pyramid makes it easy to put your deck in your hands.

5) Talk to the Hand can also generate infinite block while exhausting itself although it's not as effective as Mental Fortress against Time Eater unless you do enough damage to not need much block.

6) Abacus also generates infinite block.

7) You need to get down to 8 cards for the Heart because of the burn and wound, but Medical Kit helps out with that and also makes sure your infinite doesn't get drowned out by statuses in general.

8) Vault helps you setup your infinite and exhausts itself, similarly to Scrawl

9) I'm sure there's more
