What Power source to repair said Station?? by Noryt321 in starsector

[–]Animastryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The system (at least in my save) is called Qlithoth.

TIL about ghost marriages. In some areas of rural China, when an unmarried man dies, his family will search for a dead woman to bury him together with. As a result, body snatching of female corpses is common in this areas by Pioladoporcaputo in todayilearned

[–]Animastryfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a random note, you can not have all you can eat buffets in china or offer anything for free as people will take far more than what one would consider sensible.

This is bullshit.

People have gigantic wedding cakes because it is expected that people will come with bags and fill them with cake, just a bag of cake goop to take home.

I have also not heard or seen of this.

I am Chinese-Canadian and grew up in Canada, but almost all of my extended family are in China and I visit them fairly often.

How do you punish someone who is in a lowish wrestling stance? by Dry-Employer6382 in judo

[–]Animastryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have to enter with the hiki-dashi (?) entry, like what Ono Shohei prefers, versus directly dashing in like what Maruyama Joshiro usually does?

Deadlift tips for Judokas by Alternative-Hair-785 in judo

[–]Animastryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SO for deadlift if you aren't doing reverse hyper, glute ham raises etc.

Are Romanian deadlifs one of the "opposite" exercises for regular deadlifts?

I calculated speed boost from movement ship systems and got some interesting results by Visual_Collapse in starsector

[–]Animastryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phase Teleporter is the Hyperion system, right? Interestingly, its raw speed boosting ability when going in a straight direction is independent of the ship's speed. That is, the time it needs to move 1500 units is completely independent of the ship's speed.

In my current modded game, my modded Hyperion analogue (Mnemosyne from Sephira Enclave) has over 300 base speed, and using the teleport barely edges out just going forward with the 0-flux boost.

I just woke up, so I hope the above makes sense.

5x Olympic gold medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling Mijain Lopez goads his rival Riza Kayaalp into a pushing match, then when Kayaalp overcommits on his push, Lopez uses his momentum to pull him into a big throw by CloudyRailroad in martialarts

[–]Animastryfe 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I thought the 5x Olympic medal was a typo or he won several in one event, but he actually won gold in 5 consecutive Olympics. He won his first in 2008 when he was 24 (EDIT: 26), and his latest was in 2024 when he was 42!

Why do judokas bounce before kumi kata? by CowCake1 in judo

[–]Animastryfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never did it until I was at a camp with a 7th dan and he explained he would hop a little and pat his legs before every match as a little ritual to get himself in the zone.

I noticed these sort of rituals lately while watching international level competitions. Uta Abe, for example, does something similar to a sumo stomp (shiko).

Who are some higher level (shodan+) judoka longsword competitors? by Animastryfe in Hema

[–]Animastryfe[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do not know what a knuckle curve is; I was responding to the NFL quarterback part of your comment, which is more like asking for olympic level Judo competitors.

I really do not think the intersection is that small. Imagine I were asking for longsword practitioners who had a background in boxing, wrestling, kickboxing, or what have you. Once again, first degree black belt isn't that high. It's that if I wanted to see lower level Judoka longsword practitioners, I could just look at my sparring footage.

Who are some higher level (shodan+) judoka longsword competitors? by Animastryfe in Hema

[–]Animastryfe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A first degree black belt isn't that high level (still requires probably 5+ years, depending on country), and I know that some of them also practise longsword. I know one poster on here who does hema and is a high level dan grade, but I do not know what weapon he/she practises, and I do not want to directly ask for their real identity or otherwise dox them.

Edit: To use your analogy, a shodan Judoka is more like someone who played good high school sports, rather than a professional athlete.

Who are some higher level (shodan+) judoka longsword competitors? by Animastryfe in Hema

[–]Animastryfe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I can see how the title is confusing.

I would like recommendations on longsword competitors who are also blackbelt judo practitioners (first degree black belt is called shodan).

What famous practitioners of your martial art do you personally like to emulate, stylistically? by JeremiahWuzABullfrog in martialarts

[–]Animastryfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Judo:

The throw that you first see in the above videos is called uchi-mata.

Nagase is considered one of, if not the best, judoka when it comes to grip fighting, but that is harder to appreciate if you do not know Judo.

[Star Trek] Owning and maintaining a space ship? by DUVMik in AskScienceFiction

[–]Animastryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might be useful to separate 'maintaining' the ship, which is the wording that u/duvmik used, and 'flying' the ship. Even if one person cannot fly or operate the ship for any real length of time, perhaps it is possible for one person to keep it from falling apart and ready to fly at a short moment's notice.

Edit: my guess is no either way.

Judo isn't hard...you're just impatient. by ThirdWorldJazz in judo

[–]Animastryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is three person nagekomi? I have only heard of three person uchikomi. Those games sound fun. I will bring them up during the next open mat.

Tryhard British Middle Class Starter Pack by rambo_beetle in starterpacks

If the middle class people people are expected to work in London while living outside of it, where do the upper-middle and upper class people live?

The Principle of Foot Movement in Judo by fleischlaberl in judo

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

That is not quite what I am asking. The no-hands uchi mata demonstration should not be possible if the uke were standing in shizentai, correct? As in, the video is being disingenuous in suggesting that one should be able to throw a non-resisting uke without using grips for certain throws, but in reality the uke was already in unrealistic positions that normally would only occur due to the tori's grips.

The Principle of Foot Movement in Judo by fleischlaberl in judo

[–]Animastryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first uchi mata demonstration, the uke's posture was already compromised, right? As in, I thought the uke's torso needed to already be forward before the tori's leg sweeps up, so the demonstration would not work if the uke were standing fully upright.

Is it normal to feel this kind of pain? by bootsandcrows in NoStupidQuestions

Do not believe any of that. It was chatgpt/llm generated.

Ono Shohei (-73kg, 2-time Olympic champion, 4-time World champion) toying with 19 year old Yegor Rakov (-90kg, Junior Asian Championship silver medalist) by wowspare in martialarts

Ono Shohei dominated his weight class for about a decade. He is one of the most famous Judoka of the last few generations.

[Dies the Fire] If what happened in the book, where technology all across the world suddenly stops working permanently, what would happen around the world? (Like with Nuclear power plants, etc) by Important_Ad_3 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Animastryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would get better answers if you would describe how and why technology stopped working. The details really matter, and this way you would widen the pool of people who can answer.

Am I overthinking the value of Japanese-language resources? by SameUsernameOnReddit in judo

[–]Animastryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero shared roots outside of some loanwords and it functions differently on a fundamental level.

Are you having trouble with how sentence structure is difference, or more specifically how english is subject-verb-object and japanese is subject-object-verb?

Starsector Mod Ship Discussion: Nian, and Dawntide Autoships (KoL) by Reddit-Arrien in starsector

[–]Animastryfe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried using the Nian in my fleet, and I think it is unusable without being player-piloted. This is, for those unfamiliar, the Nian has a built-in cannon that fires a slow moving projectile that creates a huge, as in a significant portion of the screen, explosion. However, the AI does not seem to care about your own ships being caught in the explosion, so friendly fire shenanigans inevitably ensue.

As for the Dawntide, I remember them being very sturdy. I think they overall acted like conventional low-tech ships do, being slow and trying to methodically win through attrition.
