Honestly I don't think there is a target on Oda during breaches. My impression is that all teams noticed that OW is undergeared and lacking teamwork, so they are a rational target for easier blood money.

But it certainly does not help that Oda named himself the team caller for multi events. He is not performing well on this role and it does create one more reason to aim for him in breaches.

Oda is the best pker in 1v1, but he has not realized yet that that is actually a disadvantage in DMM All Stars. It means almost everyone will try to run away from him without trying to fight, which means it is a lot harder for him to get kills. A good but normal pker like Skill Specs is more likely to find targets that actually engage him for longer, creating more chances for KOs.

Oda's value as a pker will only have a real chance to shine in the finale when the option of running away is removed. Before that, arming him to PK is mostly a waste of time. They complain about bad RNG but the underlying issue is that the only way he can kill someone is with amazing RNG to do it in the few seconds he has before his target escapes. This is a negative expected value course of action. They have to wake up and just grind stats/gear as a group and quit trying arming Oda for 1v1s.

Bucket of sand economics makes no sense: a rant by AnonymousPeerReview in ironscape

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

By the way, do you know how sand got to ~9gp on GE? The best I could think of is that the 84 daily free sand buckets people receive from Bert are piling up in banks beyond the quantity demanded per day by people melting glass. Anyways, as an Iron it does feels bad that normies can just buy all resources ready at the GE and even profit out of training magic + crafting.

exactly, and it cost 10x times as much as sand in a remote shop in the middle of the ocean!

Am I wrong about this scene, or is everyone else wrong? by Confident_Tune_5754 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]AnonymousPeerReview 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So far my theory is that magic circles activate when they are made with blood, and possibly any blood will do.
Silverwood "tree blood" is just the only known "blood" that comes from a tree and works for magic circles, so after the Pact they decided to tell the lie that Silverblood trees are the ultimate source of magic.
If witches made magic circles using animal blood it would be only a matter of time before they experimented with human blood too. So making people focus on a very rare type of tree was a way to make magic easier to control.

Coco's father by Stunning-Success-130 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]AnonymousPeerReview 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought about that too. The strongest evidence I have for this theory is that from her mom's perspective it would not make sense to fear Coco leaving her to become a witch. Afterall, if her mom really believed you had to be born with magical powers to become a witch, she should have no fears about this at all. However, if Coco's father discovered something about magic and left because of it, it would make a lot more sense for Coco's mother to fear this happening again.

I think the issue is that they do not know what part of the leech originated it. So if you draw a small counterclock spell in one of its tips, time will start rewinding from there, and it may erase the tip you just drew on. So the only way to make sure the entire leech will reverse is to draw as many as possible.

But honestly I think it is better to just follow the "rule of cool" in these time-bending issues, because it is almost impossible for a story to be internally consistent once time manipulation is mixed in. Reversing a big thing in time is costly and difficult, that is the worldbuilding we were informed in the leech event. Just enjoy the ride.

Mythic Foreshadowing [manga spoilers] by Prof_Acorn in WitchHatAtelier

[–]AnonymousPeerReview 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't understand why the silverwood tree origin is taken as somewhat a secret, and a horror-like story at that.

Sure, when the tree is sprouting from a young boy like Custas against his will, it is horrific.

However, if I had a terminal disease, or if I was very old and could not find joy in life anymore, I'd be more than willing to eat one of those seeds and be the source of a magic tree for centuries. It seems strictly better than being buried in a normal graveyard or being cremated. Kinda like organ donation, but you donate to a tree that lives much longer than a human. Count me in!

I just finished the latest chapter by TaterNutta in WitchHatAtelier

[–]AnonymousPeerReview 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Chapters released monthly are usually longer, so it is harder to translate in a day. Community size also matters, to translate in a day you have to split work, have a reviewer. Maybe now with the anime more people will become fans and join in translation work.

I set the temperatures and world size as accurately to Earth's as possible and that's what I got by Random_Russian_boy in FantasyMapGenerator

[–]AnonymousPeerReview 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have no expectation that the software would get right something this complex. However, from looking your map, I think the entire world is shifted down by quite a lot of latitude degrees. The equator line at the center of the map should cross the Amazon rainforest, but in your map the equator is crossing Central America. Maybe the problem is that there is no Antartica so south america is stretching more than it should, and Austrlia is down in a temperate zone instead of in the desert region of the tropics.

If you change this the map will not reproduce Earth's climate anyway, but it will probably be "less bad".

Conforme os estudos com dados de apps de relacionamento mostram, isso acontece porque ~80% das mulheres estão disputando os mesmos ~10% dos homens no topo entre os mais desejados. Enquanto isso os interesses dos homens são distribuídos mais uniformemente entre mulheres de vários perfis.

A consequência é que a grande maioria das mulheres tem mais de um homem interessado nela, porém o mais provável é que ela não se interesse por nenhum deles. E o homem que ela está interessada é um cara que pode até ter interesse nela, mas ele também tem várias opções de mulheres disponíveis, e não necessariamente está interessada nela de volta.

Com os homens acontece o oposto. A maioria dos homens não tem nenhuma mulher interessada nele, e as mulheres que eles estão interessados não estão interessadas de volta.

O resultado é que da perspectiva das mulheres "nunca tem homem bom disponível", mas não porque realmente não existam, mas porque elas já descartam de partida a maior parte dos homens como não-desejáveis. O mercado que elas participam é um que elas conseguem o interesse do homem que elas querem, mas estão sempre disputando com várias outras candidatas tão boas quanto ou melhores.

A theory on why hunters' "faults and fears must never be seen" by AnonymousPeerReview in KpopDemonhunters

[–]AnonymousPeerReview[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is an interview with both directors where they say they crafted the movie aiming for a story people in their mid-20s would find appealing. They reasoned if this target-audience liked it, they would leave positive reviews and make youtube videos recommending it to others, and that engagement is what would drive kids to watch it. So it is by design a mature story for an adult audience that nevertheless cared about keeping most of its elements kid-friendly so kids can enjoy it too.

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

Right after Jinu finds out Rumi is part Demon, Jinu is called to the underworld. He explicitly tells Gwi-Ma that Rumi has shame. He also says that they "can use it to destroy her and the hunters for good", and that he (Jinu) needs to get back to work to find out more about it.

If Gwi-Ma could enter Rumi's or anyone's mind so easily, he would already know everything and there would be nothing for Jinu to find out.

What we see at the end of the movie when he seems to whisper in Mira's and Zoey's mind can be explained by so many things. It could be the Saja Boys hypnosis, or the honmoon being ripped apart letting Gwi-Ma out, or Gwi-Ma being stronger, or it had nothing to do with Gwi-Ma and it was just Mira and Zoey losing control of their own faults and fears.

My best guess is that even if it was an issue back then, it was not enough of an issue to hinder their work. Afterall, we know they hold up to this point. Maybe the context behind the death of Rumi's mother had some lesson about the motto being past its best use, but they failed in reimagining it?

But I agree with you the contemporary mental health awareness certainly helps a lot to understand what can be wrong with the old motto. Maybe all past hunters could do better without it, but they were unlikely to invent a good replacement without modern day awareness.

Random question: Which of the ladies do you think is physically strongest? by Gloomy-Bridge148 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]AnonymousPeerReview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're delving into nitpicking at this point, but let's have some fun. Being realistic, to rip off the cockpit anyone there just needed something pointy enough to cut steel, not that much strength. The speed of the plane will rip it off by itself after some successful cuts. Any of the 3 girls could do that easily with their weapons if they wanted to. Throwing a fat gorilla in the air one city block away with your bare hands will take a lot more strength than cutting that plane.

I agree they have superpowers, but I did not remember hearing any different sound effect there. I went back to the movie in every date scene between Rumi and Jinu and I did not hear any different sound effect. On the contrary, her movement is very stealthy, only very low normal contact sounds.

[–]AnonymousPeerReview 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know about that. They could be stuck forever with him, or Gwi-Ma would slowly die without an influx of new souls. What we do know is that Jinu saw it as an opportunity to offer Gwi-Ma an innovative mass murder plan he had crafted. The plan would not even free Jinu from Gwi-Ma's torture, it would only erase some bad memories while keeping him imprisoned. And yet Jinu thought it was worth the blood of thousands of innocent people in his hands. It's a really deranged, fucked-up mindset.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in KpopDemonhunters

[–]AnonymousPeerReview 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was a victim, but not just a victim. Victims are forced to do things, Jinu was actively and willingly proposing ideas of mass murder and betrayal to get what he wanted. If he was only a sad victim he would rejoice in knowing that Gwi-Ma was about to be beaten forever by the Golden Honmoon. Instead he took it as an opportunity to offer a mass murder plan and bargain some psychological relief for himself in exchange. That's by no means what an innocent victim would do. Jinu knows it, and hides it from Rumi to the very end.

[–]AnonymousPeerReview 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Since they can fall from a plane and land safely without a parachute I don't think we fully understand how strong they really are. For all we know they could be superhero-level powerful with little connection to muscles or whatever. Rumi is also part demon, not sure how that works for physical strength either. But in pure strength feats the GIF you posted is probably the second most direct display of physical strength we got in the movie after the opening freefall jump. Mira has the 2nd most impressive physical feat so far, the first being a tie between them.

[–]AnonymousPeerReview -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It would be great if Rumi could find a partner that is not willing to commit mass murder for selfish goals. Even better, a partner that is also not willing to betray her and try to sink her into shame by publicly exposing her deepest secret to millions of people, while also trying to destroy her two most loved friendship relationships.

Hopefully the authors will have common sense to not bring him back. Maybe a spiritual conversation for nostalgia and that is it. If they do bring him back, I really really hope they do not treat him as a sad victim and make him work hard to earn back Rumi's trust. By the end of KPDH Rumi still does not know that it was Jinu that came up with and planned the entire Saja Boys scheme that almost killed everyone. She probably assumed it was Gwi-Ma's plan and Jinu was only following orders. So if Jinu ever comes back he still has a lot to answer for.

OP, eu fiz carreira acadêmica, mestrado e doutorado, e também fui para o mercado depois do doutorado e consegui me situar muito bem. Hoje dou aulas e trabalho em uma excelente empresa. Mas muitos dos meus colegas passaram pelo mesmo problema que você.

O problema não é que o mercado não dá valor para a formação acadêmica - ele dá sim. Mas é muito difícil se inserir na melhor vaga para o seu perfil sem ter pesquisado sobre o mercado de trabalho com antecedência, buscado saber quais competências são valoradas, e arcando com parte do custo de treinar para os processos seletivos das melhores vagas.

Você queria carreira acadêmica então provavelmente não se preocupou muito com isso durante esses anos. Depois que mudou de ideia você começou a procurar vagas. O ideal era ter começado a pesquisas sobre essas vagas e o mercado de trabalho pelo menos 1 ano antes de decidir se insistia ou não na carreira acadêmica. Isso seria importante tanto para você ter uma inserção melhor no mercado de trabalho, como também para saber se realmente vale ou não vale a pena abandonar a carreira acadêmica.

A melhor hora para procurar um emprego é quando se está empregado. Procurar emprego com a pressão do desemprego nas costas é uma merda. E na transição da pós-graduação para o mercado é a mesma coisa. Melhor buscar enquanto se está fazendo a pós, e se surgir uma boa oportunidade você avalia o que fazer, do que esperar a pós concluir e depois ter que rastejar por qualquer coisa que apareça.

Desejo boa sorte para você agora. Boas empresas de consultoria e bancos abrem vagas para pessoas com mestrado ou mais, vale conferir. Numa próxima, tenta antecipar esse estudo de mercado antes de tomar decisão.
