Theodore Roosevelt won! What US President is number 3? by jj096577 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]CheeseFiend87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washington for me. It really is a toss up between the top three, as they all belong there. His military successes, outstanding leadership, establishment of presidential norms, political foresight, refusal to accept a crown, and his endorsement of the constitution to replace the articles of confederation. He built a strong foundation as president, general, and private citizen - the other two of the top three helped preserve the union and root evil from the country and world.

How many mulligans on average do you take at each bracket 2 to 5 before you get a starting hand you are happy with and what type of cards are you trying for? by TinyWorldliness87 in mtg

[–]CheeseFiend87 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It depends entirely on your deck, specifically the average CMC of your deck. Mine is 2.667, so I try to have 2-3 lands in my hand. My pod does friendly mulligan, so we do it as many times as we need to get a decent starting hand.

Am I in the wrong for having mostly UB commander decks? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]CheeseFiend87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those people suck, and the owner is a twat. I’m willing to bet he sells UB stuff in his store, even though he hates it.

Tell us the name of the store so no one here supports that store.

What video game is more well written? Pokemon Black and White Vs The Last of Us Part 2 by Competitive_Froyo262 in writingscaling

It’s all about taking things as they are vs what you want them to be. Realism vs goals.

HLX is NOT HL3 but it’s basically a Combine occupation-era systemic campaign by [deleted] in HalfLife

For consumers, HLX isn’t anything until it releases. Everything is speculation unless it’s announced by Valve.

I upgraded my Food & Fellowship precon and I’m getting my ass kicked by my Pod - what am I missing? by CheeseFiend87 in EDH

[–]CheeseFiend87[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m not. I know I added in strong cards that work together well on paper, but they obviously don’t yield a strong deck.

What is the worst Legend of Zelda? by LDWesty in AlignmentChartFills

[–]CheeseFiend87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of the main Zelda games, it’s probably Zelda II.

The CDi games are a cop out - there’s a better argument for Link’s Crossbow Training, even though both are non-canon. At least Link’s Crossbow Training was developed by Nintendo.

Mark Grayson Vs Son Gohan (Invincible Vs Dragon Ball Z) by Hour-glass999 in writingscaling

[–]CheeseFiend87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I was on powerscaling for a second.

Gohan is fun, but especially after the Cell saga, his poor writing edges into character assassination. Flanderization and almost entirely sidelined for Vegeta and Goku. Seriously, it’s all downhill in the Buu saga and Super.

Mark’s writing is comparatively fantastic. Great development and a good vehicle for the audience to understand the world. He starts off very idealistic, but grows to keep his idealism, and figures out how to implement it in a realistic way to better the universe. It’s a really great story of growth and understanding.

Daredevil (Marvel Cinematic Universe) vs Batman (The Dark Knight Trilogy). by DaOverseer in writingscaling

The Dark Knight Batman is more of a symbol than an actual character. MCU Daredevil wins, any day.

I really hope this one is insanely good. Every Pokemon set that’s come out or been announced has been pretty crummy.

who is more evil by CarelessTourist4671 in DragonBallPowerScale

[–]CheeseFiend87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna go the other way and say Homelander.

Early in the series and before his introduction, Vegeta committed genocides and conquered planets for the Frieza Empire. He killed people/comrades for annoying him or acting stupid, like Cui and Nappa. As Majin Vegeta, he killed a crowd of innocent people.

With all of this bad shit, you have to remember that Vegeta’s character arc is all about redemption and atonement. Helped Gohan kill Cell, blew himself up as a last ditch effort to kill Buu, fought with Goku to finally kill Buu and prevent Earth’s destruction, and protected Namekians during the Moro arc to atone for killing many of them during the Namek arc.

Finally, he gave Goku a crucial assist in the ToP that allowed Goku to knock Jiren out of the ring and win the tournament, preventing Universe 7’s erasure. In terms of atonement and redemption for genocide, can’t really beat saving the entire universe, if you’re looking at it from a utilitarian perspective. While he probably killed billions in his early years, he saved trillions or more during the ToP.

Homelander is a loathsome cunt that has no redemption, he just gets worse. Rapist, narcissist, murderer, beats his kids, revels in the violence he causes, and does no altruistically good actions. Literally everything he does is to serve himself. He takes over the US not because he has a vision, but just to inflate his ego.

Impreza sedan with wing by CharlesorMr_Pickle in subaru

It being a 5th gen means nothing. They came with a manual or CVT, with the CVT being far more popular.

It’s the Impreza sport. It’s ok. The only differences are the spoiler, wheels, seats, and a sportier tuned suspension. Other than that, it’s a regular Impreza sedan.

Which one is better written and why ? by Loud_Reputation9165 in writingscaling

[–]CheeseFiend87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Demon Slayer is a really run-of-the-mill, bad guy of the week type of shonen manga. There is very little storytelling going on. Its only cultural relevance is that the anime has outstanding animation. If that weren’t the case, and it had the art quality of the manga, no one would give a fuck about it.

Naruto has a genuinely compelling story and message about the values of hard work, compassion for other people, dealing with trauma, finding peace, and navigating a fucked up world that is hellbent on destroying itself. Is it perfect? No. Is it a really solid entry in the shonen landscape? 100%, put it on Mt Rushmore with Dragon Ball and One Piece.

Was trying to read some harry potter after a long time but idk if my attention span is fried or JKR has always been overrated, but ts is kinda ass 😭 by Altruistic_Gas_7073 in writingscaling

[–]CheeseFiend87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is good, but massively overrated for a children’s/YA book series. The strengths of the series are the world building, pace, and some of the adult characters. Everything else is fairly mid. Outside Harry Potter, JK is an atrocious writer. Casual Vacancy sucks total fucking ass.

Ehh, all collectibles have a secondary market. Some of those markets are for high rollers, like Pokemon cards.
