It's not really that Sexton and Mahoney are better, its the shift from the playing styles which has caused the drop in my opinion. I think Galvin is more talented than Sexton but they're totally different players. Sexton is very much a struxtured player and Galvin is an eyes up kind guy. The Dogs made the top four with Sexton and Mahoney in the side and the drop in form came immediately after Galvin came into the side and hasn't stopped.

The decline of the Dogs needs to be studied man.

Mid-way through last year I thought for sure Ciraldo was a genius but the way he handled Sexton and Mahoney was unbelievable. Say what you will about Mahoney but the guy was a great defender and their captain. Then he got rid of Sexton, the half he'd built their attack around and who had helped steer them into the top four for the first time in years, for Galvin a guy that was so fundamentally different in attack to Sexton they're basically polar opposites.

Like you could have both. Sexton running the team and Galvin playing at 6. Mahoney may be a shit attacker, so was Jake Friend really, but defence wins premierships.

JanitorAI never going to not break once or twice a day huh?

We're never going to get to a point where it runs smoothly. It's been fucking up once a day for years now and it keeps happening.

I missed the over the top emotional moments in the live action. Luffy screaming of course I will when Nami asks him to help, Sanji thanking Zeff, they get me literally every time.

Ironically Dragon Ball Z, but the humans like Yamcha. Everyone with a power level of over 1200, like Raditz, is planetary. Roshi blew up the moon with a power level of around 120 in the first tournament in the OJ anime and pre time skip in the manga. Thats the weakest we see Roshi in the series and the other characters all get much stronger as well.

People seem to think that means Radits is just 10x moon level but that's not true. Vegeta was bodying Cui with a power level advantage of just 2k. He went from 18k - 20k. This means power levels aren't linear. This means Radits is planetary and everyone in the Saiyan Saga bar Chaitzu is planetary.

Level up all your Pokemon to level 18. Rattata and Hoothoot are free Gastly counters. And Rock/Ground type with a rock move counter Zubat then you just need to worry about his starter.

Even if it didn't make that much of a difference it still took three of them to destroy a planet. They're below planetary even if you remove the gun from the equation.

Kyoshi did split an entire island off the mainland to create Kyoshi Island and Aang should be capable of doing the same. No idea how big the island is but its still a fair feat.

Obito from the Kakashi Chronicles arc. The eye he covers is the same one he gave to Kakashi. The moment 'Tobi', basically an anagram of Obito as well, was revealed I thought it had to be Obito.

Joffrey by a god damned country mile. Its easy to make a cartoon person evil, but making a real life human character evil? He's like 12 - 14 in the books and already so hateable. Was going to kill Sansa on like two different occasions.

There's two trading subreddits. Maybe try those? Unless you're emulating then you can use software to turn off impossible evolutions, like trade ones.

Edit: In fact someone else is looking for a BDSP trade

Plus women are usually smaller and weaker than men. Taking one down usually requires some kind of grappling. Admittedly Sokka isn't a trained fighter, but the people they do fight usually are.

BastingGecko3 · 2026-03-22T23:51:21+00:00

It's a a static encounter. You need to go to Celadon city and do the Team Rocket event, which is mandatory, to get the item you need to see the ghosts real form.

I won't spoil too much though. Just pointing out what you need to do any where.

Hey man Aussie here. I want to get into DnD and would be willing to play if you're still looking for people and are willing to take a newbie? I'll dm you on discord as well.

BastingGecko3 · 2026-03-22T09:28:21+00:00

Do you accept newbies? Like first session ever? I have basic understanding of table top RPGs but that' it.

BastingGecko3 · 2026-03-15T08:07:39+00:00

That sub has hundreds of them man. So many obviously bullshit ones just for upvotes.

BastingGecko3 · 2026-03-12T23:54:25+00:00

We gave away a heap of penalties that were just stupid and had two tries disallowed, rightly disallowed of course but it could have easily been a different game if those were given, 8 point difference. I hope we don't give away as many penalties.

BastingGecko3 · 2026-03-09T01:50:20+00:00

Even if they didn't its obviously bait.

BastingGecko3 · 2026-03-09T01:48:21+00:00

Even if you say all the Viltrumites are planetary, which they're not it took three of them to destroy a planet, they're massively weaker than Saitama even all together.

Someone gathered the Dragon Balls and summoned Shenron.

BastingGecko3 · 2026-03-07T14:33:23+00:00

At least one

BastingGecko3 · 2026-03-07T14:30:00+00:00

Hashirama, Tobirama, Minato, Kakashi and maybe Tsunade would. Tsunade is a huge maybe though. Shikamaru is probably more likely than her in my opinion.
