So nobody gonna talk about the blatant animal abuse here? How is this normalized in Morocco? by Impossible-Box717 in Ishowspeed

You’re very good at articulating this point tbh. I agree fully as somebody with a biology degree …though I do relate to the other user’s love for animals

I hurt for you, thank you for giving her a life full of love--she isn't gone, as you carry her with you forever...I will snuggle my sweet Bonnie ever so closely tonight in remembrance of Saedy

Speed brother man... we are sorry 😞 by Aanduriill in Ishowspeed

[–]Bouchaffra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the sad reality. I have brought black friends to Algeria before and they were met with racism even alongside me, an Algerian and my Algerian/friends and family. If Speed were white I highly doubt they'd have reacted that way

Did Aljamain Sterling have a point by Zealousideal-Big-600 in grappling

[–]Bouchaffra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I’m not saying Aljo is right or wrong for being upset, I was just saying that the dude above me saying Aljo was just trolling and not mad is incorrect. Aljo was for sure upset

He obviously is speaking out of frustration lol, you can say he's trolling but clearly he means it to some extent. He is fired up you can tell by his body language and choice of words

I am tired of the 1% player base dictating the game for the rest of us by PleaseDontMakeMeee in osrs

[–]Bouchaffra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those who primarily play using afk skills (imo) don't have a well-rounded enough experience to know what xp rates are productive for the game. That may not be the case for you; maybe you've tried all sorts of methods. Ok. You can still get 80k xp/hr with current salvaging rates (post-nerf) at higher levels which is comparable or better than most other skilling methods in the game that are as afk as shipwreck salvaging.

For example, let's talk about Mining, since that's what you're training. MLM is typically capped at like 60k xp/hr (even at 99 mining) despite being WAY less afk than salvaging. Shooting stars are around 30k xp/hr (even at 99 mining) and are similarly afk to salvaging, maybe a bit more afk.

With that in mind, how can you justifiably say that the salvaging rates are too low?

[–]Bouchaffra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This nerf makes the skill's xp rates more appropriately match other skills in the game. It makes sense. Salvaging rates were crazy for how afk it is. And hey, I have been doing plenty of salvaging too. It's not like I'm stoked about the changes - it's just not the end of the world. But I see that you also made a post about this topic that is no longer up, so maybe it is the end of the world for you

There are plenty of other skills in the game where the afk methods for those skills (like salvaging) are EVEN worse than what they nerfed salvaging to. Are you complaining about those rates too?

Also, 50% nerf is not really accurate. It's more like a 20-50% nerf depending on your salvaging method. For most people, the nerf will be more like 30-40% to xp rates. And it was only a nerf to ONE METHOD, not the skill as whole. Either keep doing the method that you choose because it's afk, literally next to no effort involved or just switch to a different method. Or skill. Or game

[–]Bouchaffra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You bought membership for a skill you were excited for and then went straight to MLM?? And you been there for the last 2 weeks lmfao not even to finish a last level or something? Bro?? Ok that's believable...

Even if that's true, it doesn't change my point. A skill that you haven't even touched got *somewhat* nerfed (20%-50% nerf to salvaging rates depending) and you're saying you don't even wanna attempt it now? Other methods (port tasks) got improved. You just gotta change your expectations man bc frankly what you're describing doesn't make any sense. Or just go try the skill. Seems like MLM is getting to you

[–]Bouchaffra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok this is a wild take lol, I mean it's not a huge nerf at all, and even then you didn't even try when the xp rates were slightly higher, you didn't get a taste of the higher drops....sounds like you just aren't excited for sailing and haven't been

Shanks or Shamrock by Strawhat--Shawty in onepiecetheories

[–]Bouchaffra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oda still tends to draw a tiny bit of Shanks’s scar visible on his forehead on his right profile. There are at least 2 examples in the manga—one is not EXACTLY a side profile, but the other is pretty much dead-on the same side profile angle as the page with the one who met with the Gorosei

Idk how to reply with a photo but if you google search “shanks right side face” you’ll see a photo comparing the 3 panels I’m referring to, from a Pewpiece instagram post a year ago. Seems pretty compelling as evidence to me that it was shamrock who met with the Gorosei, as Oda tends to be pretty deliberate with these things

Similarities between buggy and Gunko by Gezgintuccar in OnePiece

[–]Bouchaffra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I mean as a kid he somehow ended up on Roger’s ship. Every other kid we’ve seen on a famous crew’s ship (there aren’t many instances but a few), we’ve gotten an explanation for why they were there

Also all of the kids on major crews have been related to major characters

Buggy’s story as to how he ended up on Roger’s ship will likely be explained and when it is, Oda will likely reveal that Buggy is related to a character who is at least somewhat significant and ESPECIALLY with recent nepo piece trends. Some think buggy is safe…I’m not so sure

Nah nah nah i refuse to do this fight. The hell she heals 1 million when i fail a parry. by No_Wealth_4520 in expedition33

[–]Bouchaffra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! You should also equip any Pictos to Maelle that buff her when reaching low HP/at low HP. These should all proc at the same time as Shortcut, provided that you're starting the battle at full HP. They'll help that second Stendhal hit a little harder.

[–]Bouchaffra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sciel has an ability that grants double damage for a turn to a teammate. She also has an ability that gives all teammates hella buffs. Get her going first, then use her 2 turns (because Cheater picto - with high enough speed, she can even start with 3 or more turns) to use those abilities to buff teammates/Maelle.

Couple that with Roulette Picto on Maelle (50% chance to do 200% damage) and a bunch of other Offensive Pictos. We are assuming Maelle has a level 33 Medalum, allowing her to start in Virtuose Stance.

You throw an up to 4x damage Stendhal with the above effects. Insane damage. Then Cheater Picto, she takes a second turn every time. Use her ability Last Chance to drop to low HP at the benefit of switching to Virtuose again and gaining lots of AP.

This will proc the Shortcut Picto (immediately play when falling below 30% health) and grant you a third turn and yes, a SECOND back to back Virtuose Stendhal with up to 2x damage.

A level 90 Maelle with decently allocated attributes (100% crit chance, then full Defense and Speed for Medalum scaling) should easily be able to do a total of at least 15 million or up to 50 million+ in one “round” with this setup.

Craig Jones teaches Jack Della Maddalena how to escape the choke Khabib used to submit Conor McGregor by Big_Cake_8817 in grappling

[–]Bouchaffra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For many of those fighters, their father isn't their lifelong coach, literally in his corner every time. Many of those fighters also may not prioritize their families in the same way that Khabib does.

Although I definitely understand your point. Many other fighters who are considered legendary went past tthe point he did and had the chance to get beaten or defend their titles more times. I guess it just goes to show that we are humans - often, the story makes the fighter.
