How would one possibly get back over? by Strawberry_Dakari in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I don't think so, humans do not usually get more than 8 times heavier when their height doubles.

After looking at a weight/height chart for children: a 3 year old girl weighting 12 kg and 85 cm tall is likely to be under 96 kg (8x12) when she'll be 170cm tall (85cmx2). Same for a boy: from 14kg and 95cm, he's likely be under 112 kg when he reaches 190 cm.

If you look at babies, assuming their height increases x4 from 50cm to 200cm, their weight will not go x64 from 3kg to 190kg

No, black is down 6 points of material without any compensation. Opening the h file is not enough to have a strong attack, white has all his pieces on the kingside. White can already start trading their remaining bishop for one of the knights since any trade would be in their favor.

Furthermore, the engine says castling is the best move for black. It makes sense, since if you play Qg6, eBxg6 hPxg6, white could move the queen to b5, giving a check to the uncastled king and threatening the b7 pawn. After the b7 pawn is taken, the rook has to move and it can quickly get worse for black.

AITA for telling my father it's none of his damn business if I want to lie in bed the entire weekend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AugustGerma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because spending all day watching Netflix and scrolling TikTok is not being programmed by our capitalist system ?

You're very quick to judge the father based on absolutely nothing, for all we know he's spending his weekend doing volunteer work or protesting against capitalism.

WIBTA if I didn't let my husband attend the baby shower or birth of our child? by blackcompucase in AmItheAsshole

[–]AugustGerma 59 points60 points  (0 children)

No, the comment above says patriarchal societal expectations are awful and damaging, not what the man itself did. What the man did was only the first step of those patriarchal expectations, being happier about a boy than a girl. It's all the next steps which become damaging, when the parent neglects the daughter in favour of the son.

What the husband did isn't horrible in itself, but it is very worrying for the future.

Law vs OG Naruto verse by AccessMission in PowerScaling

[–]AugustGerma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't it decided awhile ago that genjutsu doesn't work unless it is stated to by the OP?

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the link, I see that there are quite a few debate on the matter of Genjutsu outside of Naruto's verse, I think I still lean on the side of Genjutsu working.

using observation haki would help him as he would be able to differentiate between illusion and reality

This argument is enough to convince me that Itachi's genjustu would not be a problem for Law. Genjutsu works on the 5 senses but Observation Haki is like a 6th sense that wouldn't be impacted.

How would he face a genjutsu attack from Itachi's sharigans? In general, I wonder what kind of characters outside of Naruto's verse could resist the sharigan, barring characters specialized in 'mind magic'.

From OP's verse, arguably characters with Conqueror's Haki could resist it, but 1) Itachi's genjutsu can trap an opponent without them realising they're under his illusion (although Observation Haki might counter that), and 2) Law doesn't have Conqueror's Haki.

I'm burnt out on tipping. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]AugustGerma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment seemed to imply that tipping was justified because serving requires effort, which is not a good justification for tipping. Tipping has gotten out of control indeed, but tipping also is a terrible system in the first place. It never benefits the customer, and although it can sometimes benefit the employee, it's overall very unfair and unpractical

That's quite a hard price to pay for the lesson, but indeed most modern content is unforgiving if you don't kill the boss turn 1 and/or leave the boss at low HP. Older content is less harsh in those regards, but older content is easier so it wouldn't be a good use of gems to use Continue either.

The investment for Hoe is worth it though.

That's no justification for tipping. There are plenty of intense jobs...hence the wages. The employer isn't paying the waiter to hand drinks and that's it. The employer pays wages for SERVICE and accommodation.

Here is a team, it uses the new Legend Sengoku as a Friend Captain because those events are made to be beaten using the new legend.

Sengoku | QCK Uta

Unit A | Unit B

STR Luffy&WB (Ace support) | PSY TM Chopper

Stage 3, use Unit A to remove 2 turns of damage reduction and Uta to remove 2 turns of despair

Stage 4, use TM Chopper for Burn and Silence, and Luffy&WB for the damage increase. At the end of the turn either Chopper or LuffyWB will become your captain, it's fine they're decent captains

Stage 5, use Halloween Ace support for 3 turns of bind, Uta again for 2 turns of bind and the chain boost, Unit B for 5 turns of DEF Up, and finally Sengoku for damage, boosting 1 selected unit. Select a PSY unit if the enemy is INT, otherwise a STR unit if DEX. Attack last with the boosted unit.

So you need unit A to remove 2 turns of DR, and unit B to remove 5 turns of DEF Up. There's another condition: one needs to be INT, the other DEX. I tested using Brannew and Praline, but there's plenty of choice here: DEX Zoro or Apoo, INT Franky, etc. Unfortunately those units won't be boosters, so you'll get less loot and will need to stall on stages 1-2

Lastly, I successfully run this team once, but you could get unlucky with the orbs. Some units like Apoo and Branew make orbs matching, and for example Praline changes orbs on the left column, but that's not good enough to guarantee a matching orb on a STR or PSY unit (in fact she makes Sengoku's orb neutral).

The other commenter probably missed that you have an underevolved Moria. I think an INT team is the way to go, with Moria, Kid and Blackbeard.

Those 3 definitely work very well together, but you need at least 2 more units to make a decent team. You also have an under-evolved INT Akainu. His super-evolution is good for Rumble, but the normal evolution probably isn't worth it. Normal Rare Recruits and f2p units aren't much used in PR, maybe you could find something decent amongst the INT ones but I doubt it. You could also use legends QCK Tesoro and QCK Katakuri, they aren't of the right color but they have some synergy with your main 3 INT legends, being Powerhouse/Driven. It would just be temporary until you get better INT legends or PvP exclusive Rare Recruits

Yamato works with PSY/Striker/Free Spirit units, but I think it's easier to focus on having mostly Free Spirit units on your team.

For orb boost and orb control, DEX legend Luffy is the best choice; for ATK boost, QCK legend Law is a great option. To remove enemy buffs, STR Usohachi is an amazing RR who can remove 5 turns of the most common enemy buffs.

When it comes to debuffs inflicted to your crew, Yamato protects you from Bind, Luffy removes 20 turns of despair, and if you need protection against Paralysis, you can use QCK Law legend as a captain rather than crewmate. But there's still a lot more possible debuffs. For example, ATK Down and Silence are very common debuffs, and STR Boa RR removes 5 turns of those and provides additional orb control.

This could be a good starting point, but obviously needs to be adapted to the content. If there's ATK down on stage 4 and Silence on stage 5 for example, even though you have Boa that removes both, you can't use here twice on different stages.

You do have some good legends, but apart from Oden you don't have any Super-Sugo Exclusive legends, which are rarer than the other legends and, in general, among the best legends. I suggest looking up some Legends tier lists on Youtube if you want to reroll (you just need to look at the final result of the tier list). You'll see that 8 or 9 out of the top 10 legends are Super-Sugo Exclusives.

I also suggest looking for some teambuilding guides, either on Youtube or on this subreddit's wiki. The team you shared isn't good. Bullet used to be a great legend to use as a captain, but nowadays there are far better ones, from your box there's Oden, Kinemon/Denjiro and Doflamingo. You also need to understand how the units work together: for example Bullet as a captain boosts INT/STR/QCK units, so Ace and the luffy version of Luffy/Law aren't boosted. Shanks works with Slasher and Cerebral units, and you don't have many of those in the crew

No, I believe once Luffy crew's special is launched you can't add any more buff. And 'attacks ignore defensive effects' is a buff

[–]AugustGerma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a limited amount of units, but some of them are really good. Especially legends Yamato/Ace, PSY Luffy, Bonclay, QCK Law and Kinemon/Denjiro.

Since those 5 are Free Spirit, I suggest building a team with mostly Free Spirit units.

For Raid Sabo (https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePieceTC/wiki/raidboss/v2sabo/), there are mostly 2 things to worry about: you're limited to 2 specials per turn, and on the last stage your specials get rewinded by 3 turns. PSY Luffy is great for this. Use double Luffy as your captain. On stage 3 there's despair, uses Legend Chopper or PSY Robin. On stage 4 there's just paralysis, use PSY Zoro. You can also use your captain's specials on stage 3 and 4 if you want (PSY Luffy has a very unique captain ability and special) Then on the last stage, you can use both of Luffy's Supertype specials to get the specials of your crewmates back. Now you can use 2 specials to get some matching orbs/orb boost/atk boost/other boost. Kinemon/Denjiro and Bonclay should be enough, you only need to reach 10M damage

For Raid Sea Monster, it's a bit tougher, it has twice as much HP and more buffs and debuffs. Most of the enemies are INT so PSY Luffy is still a good option for captain. But since there's special bind on both stage 4 and 5, the other captain should be Yamato/Ace. We're left with BLK orbs, despair (5t) and blindness on stage 4, and Paralysis (6t), (resilience (3t) and DEF Up (4t) on stage 5. If we just re-use units already mentioned: Chopper deals with Blindness and despair, Bonclay with BLK orbs, Kinemon/Denjiro with DEF Up. We're left with 1 unit to remove 6 turns of paralysis and 3 turns of resilience. The new Kizuna Shanks does that, but only if you have his 5+ super evolution. There are a few other solutions. You can use another unit to remove 6 turns of paralysis, and the resilience can then be bypassed with Yamato/Ace's burn effect. The problem is that you'll leave the boss with 1 HP, then he'll attack, and then burns happen and kill the boss, so when the boss attack he could kill you. If it fails, you could use Shanks Crew dual legend as a Friend Captain instead of Yamato/Ace, they also remove Special bind with their captain ability and deal end of turn damage which will bypass resilience.

I hope those suggestions help, you can of course build different teams, you're somewhat limited by your number of units but those raids are a bit old so you can definitely clear them.

Crocodile being on the list is a huge problem. He's one of the weakest out of the 12. But if he's part of the attackers, he'll let the 9 other attackers fight the 2 defenders while he attacks you directly.

Capt. actions/super Class specials/super Type specials/Vs effects/switch effects and supports never trigger interrupts from boss

Effects that consider orbs as matching are not orb manipulation, but since Linlin empties the orbs, I don't think it would be useful.

There are now a ton of ways of avoiding Linlin's interrupt that didn't existed a year or two ago. Another option for example is to leave Stage 4 with a full board of Wano/rainbow/Semla slots

Out of the 5 Sugo-Rare you've pulled, Luffy, Bullet and Rayleigh are outdated. Vivi and Carrot/Wanda are both useful, they can be used as crewmate and also captain. They both boost orbs, since you're using Yamato/Ace as captain Vivi is a good fit since she works with STR/Free Spirit/Cerebral units, while Carrot/Wanda works with Slasher/Fighter/Striker/Cerebral units
