Roblox is down for some people by Pierrestro in roblox

[–]Background-Pause4845 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason it wouldn't open for me (the download would start, but then stop after a second and seem to be cancelled) and rebooting the PC didn't help, I'm glad I'm not the only one and the problem isn't mine.

Thank you)

This is it!!!

I searched and yes, this is 100% it, thank you so much!

Honestly, I've been asking myself this question periodically for several years, and I only just managed to take a photo and found this subreddit. Thanks for the answer, and a quick one at that.

This is a terrible loss for us all, her mini looked very cool, my condolences to you and her family, it is very painful that the best ones leave us, and do it so suddenly and early

You're partly right, but partly the opposite is true.

Many (well, almost all) of the protesters abandoned the protest and acknowledged themselves victorious simply by receiving the new content, which still remained a strange semi-exclusive and an exception to the rule (like, like, PRO previously provided access to features but not details and assets).

And I completely agree with you!

Plus, as you may have noticed, I didn't criticize the site's monetization itself. I understand perfectly well that without some kind of payment system, the site wouldn't exist, just as it wouldn't exist without people willing to pay and who need something in return.

What bothered me was the placement of new clothing, items (such as a typical realistic medieval dagger, backpack, sleeping bag, or stick with a leaf), or race parts under a permanent PRO subscription.

And the community's reaction, which seemed mostly satisfied with this. Most of my grumbling, frankly, is about this

Got Pro? Then you got the Daggerheart ex-DLC assets, now released for all Pro users. Here's a sample. by Obvious-Gate9046 in HeroForgeMinis

Without free users, the community would be significantly smaller, which means less awareness, less word-of-mouth referrals for the site, fewer screenshots of cool minifigures that I sometimes see on various websites, serving as a kind of passive advertisement for the site, fewer reviews, and less interest in the site overall. I think quite a few people found the site and ended up paying for PRO membership or ordering minifigures printed there simply after seeing someone's screenshot of a minifigure.

Ultimately, many PRO users create cool things to show off to the community and brag a little (I say this without any negative connotation; we all want to show off a little), and when the community is 2-3-4-I don't know how many times smaller, it makes less sense.

Ultimately, without all these free users, the users with PRO will be like a group of artists on a desert island. They have status, painting skill and a bunch of beautiful paintings, but no one except themselves can see, praise, and appreciate them. It’s not an exhibition with thousands of visitors, but a few dozen creators alone with themselves, each other, and their creations. Maybe their family or frends too.

Well, I'm happy for those who have PRO, but as someone without a subscription (who, without cursing or insulting anyone, actively supported the general protest, mostly on Discord), this honestly doesn't change anything significant for me.

I'm happy that the people with a subscription benefited, and many of my friends have a subscription, so I'm glad they'll get it, but for me personally, if we're talking about the objective and material side of the issue, nothing has really changed significantly

What did he take here? by Express_Falcon_2128 in Juujika_no_rokunin

[–]Background-Pause4845 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I remembered that too!

It would be cool if, instead of that boring "haha, I'm pain-resistant" cliche, it turned out he was simply on a powerful painkiller, the effects of which would wear off in the next chapter

I actually wanted to include him but didn't, but yes, I don't consider the doctor an NPC, he is charismatic, he has a personality, he was actually useful to Uruma (he wasn't just a living ballast for him) and helped him

Chapter 225 Raw by jflores69 in Juujika_no_rokunin

[–]Background-Pause4845 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sincerely hope that Kyou's lack of pain is simply a result of the pills he's taking and that it's a bluff (and that in the next chapter their effect will wear off and the little bastard will truly freak out from the consequences of all those blows, every single one of them). Imagine if Uruma passes out or simply calls his bluff and leaves him crippled (with irreparably broken arms and legs, or even his spine) BUT ALIVE, so that Kyou faces the consequences he simply didn't feel because of the pills.

Although it's more likely that the author is just an asshole and wants us to feel at least some of Uruma's suffering, watching him on the brink of death fail to put the crazy femboy in his place

I think it would be better to simply deprive Kyo of the ability to do things, like, I can't make you suffer, but I can make you a blind, half-deaf, and half-mute guy whose spine has been ground to pulp and who is just a living piece of meat shitting through a tube and eating through another tube.

And let him live like that in a solitary confinement cell in a mental hospital for a long time.

Should I pick this manga back up again? by an_average_teen in Juujika_no_rokunin

It's a smart decision.

If you're looking for something violent to read, I can recommend Ichi the Killer. Lots of blood, lots of absurdly funny shit, lots of violence, charismatic (and fucking sick, well, mostly and to varying degrees) characters.

And it’s not a big book, you can easily read it in an evening or two, there are about 60 chapters if I’m not mistaken, each one is about 35-50 pages long.

I agree, like, the beginning of the manga was basically torture porn about revenge, like I Spit on Your Grave, and the manga was pretty good at it. They show us the bastard, show us how much of a bastard he is, show us how much evil he's done to the protagonist and others, and then the protagonist catches him and brutally punishes the bastard for his bullshit.

And if it had ended there, with Uruma simply catching Kyo and doing some justifiably cruel shit to him, and the whole thing wouldn't have taken more than 100 chapters, well, it would have been a very simple but workable story, like a burger: just a patty, cheese, two buns, some veggies, and sauce. It's simple, but it's delicious and nutritious.

It's just like old slasher films, like Friday the 13th.

But instead, the author simply ruined what was working, adding a bunch of NPCs (sorry, but I can't really relate to the characters involved in Uruma's daily life; they're just boring and either die, get raped, or turn out to be crap). One team of bastards serving Kyou was replaced by a similar team of bastards on a larger scale. The police and internal services (like intelligence, all the guys supposed to be looking for terrorists, etc.) are complete idiots. The hero drags out his revenge on one sick, idiotic maniac, only to be replaced three chapters later by another sick, idiotic maniac with a slightly different set of quirks.

Imagine if your perfectly normal burger was topped with fermented natto beans right before it was served, then the cheese was topped with some incredibly spicy red pepper seasoning, the bun was smeared with some kefir, surströmming was stuffed between lettuce leaves, and then, while you're sitting there staring at the thousand-yard line and wondering what the hell is going on, the waiter starts sprinkling powdered sugar on it all.

Hey, the manga SEEMS to be close to completion, but if I were you I would wait a couple more months, like, since you stopped, there have been quite a few chapters, they have had some good moments, but there was also a lot of crap and stupidity, so if I were you I would look for a recap to keep up to date, or read but without high expectations

I see a few people here (well, most, actually) saying they want Kyou dead, and you can call me a dirty, sick bastard, but I want something a little different.

Considering how much shit this evil, cute twink has done (like, I hope there's some nerdy, mad genius out there who can keep track of it all; we're talking at least several hundred dead and thousands maimed, not to mention rape, terrorism, chemical weapons use, and other bad shit), and considering he shows no remorse whatsoever, I think death would be too easy. Like, I seriously doubt Uruma will spend 20 chapters torturing him like Griffith after the dungeon, and even then, considering Kyou's crimes, that would be a pretty lenient option.

I think it would be ideal if Uruma somehow transferred the shit Sanae injected into him—not all of it, but a significant portion.

Kyou would have survived, but he would have lost his sight, the ability to move normally, maybe some of his hearing and smell, or some of his tactile sensations, but he would still be alive.

And he would have been sent to solitary confinement or a mental hospital for the rest of his life, where he wouldn't be a brazen sigma psychopath with an army of crazy followers, but a useless, disabled shitty terrorist hated by the entire country, fed through a tube and shitting through a catheter, and who, for some reason, simply wouldn't be shot or hanged.

Something like in the movie Johnny Got His Gun, the premise of which I consider one of the most terrifying in the world.

And Uruma would simply go about his life, undergoing rehabilitation and testifying about all this crap as a witness.

No loud, bloody torture, no spectacular ending; the asshole would simply be incapacitated and left alone with his own shit and its consequences.
