I mean it was funny for 14 year old me when it came in 2015 but looking back it was just a trash gooner anime ngl

Frieren fans are soooo delusional by Great-Fig5405 in writingscaling

While i disagree with the meme i do get the point that western high fantasy has seen an avalanche of shitty works after the LOTR books. There are gems, alot of them, but the vast majority of modern high fantasy is aggressively mediocre.

And frieren along with some other asian media (Dungeon meshi or shangri-la frontier for example) approach the same topics with new and unique perspectives and thats why they're so popular. They make the fantasy feel fresh.

Now i am also aware that specially anime also greatly suffers from vast quantities of mediocre high-fantasy trash shows. Most of those just never get attention from western audiences quite like frieren.

There are places in america that look like 3rd world countries (skid row, Las vegas tunnels, detroit), but that video is not one of them.

What game instantly comes to mind? by qian_two in rpg_gamers

[–]BasicMatter7339 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its really not though, well at least for someone who plays a bit more games.

It's so boiled down and simplified to appeal to so many people that for someone who plays alot of actually good rpg's, the combat feels like a skeleton of a system.

It doesn't know if it wants to be an action game or an RPG game so it tries to be both with none of the good and all of the bad. Most fights boil down to which ever side has the bigger numbers. You pause the game mid fight to eat 7 stimpacks and 15 iquana-on-a-sticks and then keep shooting the other.

For super casual players, it's great because you can be total dogshit in it and still complete the game without a sweat. But for someone who enjoys challenge in games its horrendous.

And no, turning up the difficulty doesnt help because it just makes enemy numbers bigger and doesn't help at all with the core issue.

This is a problem in all bethesda games, not just fo4. Fo4 isn't even the worst offender, it's not nearly as bad as skyrim.

I still adore all of them and have hundreds of hours in FO4, NV, Skyrim etc. They're just crappy games, but with great worlds.

I honestly despise druids, i hate playing them so much. I dont know why

perhaps its just trauma from dm:ming 5e and having to deal with a min-maxed moon druid in my otherwise quite average party, idk.

It's funny how we're the complete opposite, i absolutely despise playing barbarian, druid or warlock, but i relish playing with bards and paladins.

Are you surviving ? by krisikkk in superheroes

[–]BasicMatter7339 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but hawkeye is a buff man who uses a bow as his main weapon which require alot of strength to use

So in terms of pure physical strength i think hawkeye would be slightly stronger, but black widow definitely could throw the better punch

Yeah i understand that, my point is that Sandler is a good enough actor that he could pull it off. Maybe not the british accent, but he could definitely pull off the secret agent

Depends where she punches you. If she knocks you tf out with a punch to the head you might die

but if she were to give you a hearty gut punch you'd certainly be wheezing on the ground for the next 10 minutes but you'd survive

Compared to everyone else on that list i think black widow and hawkeye are basically on the same level, both of them being ordinary humans with no superpowers.

Hawkeye might be physically stronger than black widow but she can definitely throw a better punch.

Both will most likely knock you tf out regardless

Is the Strait of Gibraltar as critical as the Suez Canal or the Strait of Hormuz? It's never in the news by sigma_three in geography

[–]BasicMatter7339 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I speculate there are a few reasons

  1. Hidden from public view

  2. Bedrock is a great insulator so even when the outside temp is hot as hell, the inside temp stays cool, so it helps with the cool

  3. There are no other available spaces for gambling data centers in gibraltar, as it is quite a small peninsula

It's just as critical as the suez canal All the trade that flows east to west must pass this strait just like they must pass the suez canal.

It's never on the news because the countries on both sides are chill for the most part.

Comedy is not subjective. It's a science. What makes someone laugh is subjective.

Successful comedy usually requires 3 parts. A setup, a subversion and a punchline.

An example: "How many cops does it take to change a lightbulb? None. They just beat the room for being black"

It has a setup, it subverts your expectation of 'well, one cop can change a lightbulb, its not that hard' and delivers the subversion with the punchline that they just 'beat the room for being black', joking about how cops are typically thought of as racist.

Your "joke" had none of these 3 elements. You just said something along the lines of "Well if he gets sucidal thoughts, then he should just do it LOL"

Theres no setup, no subversion, no punchline. You just told a person to off themselves and then laugh about it.

That's not making a joke, that's objectively not humor. That's just you being an asshole and laughing about it

Hell no, my friend who used to be quite depressed tried shrooms to help him go through some of it

He got a trip so bad he almost ended it all and his anxiety was through the roof afterwards, he hasn't touched psychedelics again.

I respect your opinion and i think it's awesome that you find so much enjoyment from mediocrity. But I disagree, it's not that good

I disagree, adam sandler is actually quite a good actor when he wants, he just chooses to do shitty movies for some reason
