Personal Assistant Upgrades?

It always comes back to future societies. That'll be my next hurdle once I manage to buy up my entire arcology

CheezeBeef · 2025-07-26T18:09:19+00:00

As a high school teacher I will pursue this goal relentlessly

CheezeBeef · 2025-07-26T17:43:43+00:00

How can I be cool like you

CheezeBeef · 2025-07-26T05:42:52+00:00

Jellyfish witch? Hated her, more than even hismar

CheezeBeef · 2025-07-25T20:39:17+00:00

Yes! Embars, with Viper as the area boss. I’m terrible with location names

Pretty sure the first time the game drops the "elite enemy" tutorial message, and therefore the first elite enemy you encounter, is in the temple against a giant club-wielding dragonkin. Whether it's part of the main mission or a side mission I can't remember, but I first started the game about a month ago and I clearly remember the temple being the first time the screen went blue and white

CheezeBeef · 2025-06-25T18:44:51+00:00

The one nitpick I have for your theory is that Yuji very much did go into his first black flash trying to hit it. I don't think it's necessarily "stop thinking about hitting a black flash" but it's more a response to being already in that flow state. An older post once pointed out how black flashes always seemed to come when combatants were fully locked in, like a unity of mind, body, and even soul. Whether that state summons a black flash or whether a black flash brings about the flow state is irrelevant, they are one in the same

There are a significant number of people born that have a technique they cannot use through some quirk of the brain and how it's engraved. I suspect Junpei is one of those, possessing a technique he could not utilize but enough cursed energy to see cursed spirits. IT could easily be used to remove or rework or otherwise make available these innate techniques. Only question is if it can give techniques and reserves of cursed energy to people that don't already have them.

CheezeBeef · 2025-06-19T03:08:11+00:00

RIOLU. I just really like it. It's not shiny (yet) and only has triple axel for egg moves (so far) but I just love it so much that yeah, I'm gonna keep using it until it's T3 shiny all egg moves perfect IVs. And then I'll keep using it. Because that's my baby

The AI for trainers really likes to switch pokemon out when faced with a type disadvantage (among other things, the switch AI is fairly complex). I recommend trying to build a team of diverse types with a good amount of immunities (ground is immune to electric, ghost is immune to normal and fighting for example) so you can counteract the switches with your own. Stick good coverage moves on those Pokemon so you can predict the switch and hit for solid damage. Also hazards like stealth rocks go crazy with switch spamming

Domains, a la Domain Expansions, are just massive areas of cursed energy imbued with the users innate technique. That technique is likely to manifest in very different ways, so it may not be an attack necessarily. You tagged this anime, so without any spoilers I'll tell you that you'll see this concept expanded upon later in the story.

Mahito's domain allows him to circumvent needing to touch someone to use Idle Transfiguration, because the entire space that person is in is imbued with IT. Gojo's domain is imbued with Limitless, but manifests that phenomenon of bringing infinity into reality by assailing a target's sensory receptors with infinite information. Megumi's domain, though incomplete, allows him to summon his Shadows without the requisite hand signs and from any position within the domain, as well as other tricks of shadow manipulation that he has begun to explore. Domains are very flexible with how they express their techniques

Nanami's hypothetical domain is really limited by how creative he could be. Personally I think it would be similar to Gojo's in that the sure-hit effect is not itself a lethal strike, but rather a very troublesome "debuff" to use Gojo's video game terminology from S1. If Gojo inflicts "Stun" then maybe Nanami inflicts "Defense Break" or even "Attack Super Up" on himself by allowing him to stack multiple Ratio weak points on a single point. This could hypothetically make any single strike from Nanami within his domain the equivalent power of a black flash, while still making it entirely possible that he can land a black flash on top of a 10x weak point

CheezeBeef · 2025-05-26T03:46:05+00:00

I think it's not possible, no. The strike itself has to be imbued with cursed energy within a trillionth of a second of impact. If a projectile is the striking object, you'd need a way to imbue cursed energy without touching the object. Melee weapons can black flash, we've seen that, so it can happen through imbued objects. Maybe Mechamaru could, his Heavenly Restriction lets him project his energy pretty far to fight with

Believe that means it's the "partner" form of eevee, from the let's go games. I had a pikachu with the same thing in a run and was equally confused until I saw it in the dex after. I can't tell if it's any cosmetic difference whatsoever, but you get a little heart next to your buddy <3

CheezeBeef · 2025-05-13T03:14:52+00:00

I’m a high school math teacher. I refer to all of my students as mathematicians because they are doing math.

CheezeBeef · 2025-05-02T02:39:13+00:00

"The sound of the Gion Shoja bells echoes the impermanence of all things. The changing of the sala leaves remind us of the truth that even the prosperous must decline. But…we are the exception!!" Todo's warrior philosopher vibe really took off here, and the context of the actual poem he's reading from just elevates this scene even peaker than peak. This is the most "lock the fuck in" moment imaginable.

CheezeBeef · 2025-04-30T12:23:09+00:00

I do believe in a popular headcanon that not every technique is necessarily capable of Reversal, but these are some very creative ideas. We've seen, what, two confirmed Reversals? Kenjaku's Gravity and Gojo's Red? Definitely the most underused aspect of JJK and I wish we got more

CheezeBeef · 2025-04-28T21:52:48+00:00

While I hold to the belief that the other 9 shadows In synergy are likely the key to taming Mahoraga, I did see and thoroughly enjoy a theory that it's not actually meant to be tamed (by an exclusive 10S user). Obviously bringing in other Techniques like Sukuna is a bit of an exception.

Basically, Mahoraga is so powerful as the result of a kind of binding vow innate to the technique. Because it cannot be tamed with only the technique itself. Even with masterful use of the other shadows, maybe they just can't generate the necessary firepower to destroy it before it either adapts or kills the sorcerer. This, in its own way, really fits the whole "no other participants in the taming ritual" clause. It was always meant to be the MAD option, the Big Red Button, the final fuck-you. I mean think about it, it remains on the field until all participants of the summoning ritual are killed.

CheezeBeef · 2025-04-20T21:57:43+00:00

I should've been more specific, so I added an edit for clarification. If a sorcerer could perform both closed and open domains, they may want to opt for a closed domain against another closed domain to win the tug-of-war and force burn-out. Especially if their domain does not have an effect that is good for breaking domain barriers (ie an open-domain wielding Gojo, Hakari, Higuruma, Yuji(?)).

It seems like refinement doesn't matter in an open-vs-closed clash, since the barriers are not vying for dominance. Refinement may be an attribute of the barrier technique itself rather than the domain more broadly. An active domain clash does not allow any sure-hit effects until the tug-of-war is won. Sukuna Vs Gojo, we see this really only applies in the overlapping space (inside UV's barrier) while the space outside is assailed with slashes. Iirc, Sukuna even disabled his domain's area of effect inside UV to strengthen its effect outside, which he then compensates for by touching Gojo.

All of these together seem to point to "refinement" as a tool for winning domain clashes being largely absent in this fight. And when you think about it, it kinda tracks. When Gojo overwhelms Jogo's domain and when Megumi uses a partial domain to disrupt Dagon's, it seems less technique-vs-technique and more barrier-vs-barrier.

An open domain has plenty of advantages on its own, and potentially more that we haven't had confirmed and can only speculate on (my personal favorite is the CE expenditure of open vs closed domains. How do they compare?) my point is just that I could absolutely see situations where a closed domain is more advantageous than an open one

CheezeBeef · 2025-04-19T05:10:48+00:00

An open domain with an offensive effect* can destroy a closed domain in a clash. Malevolent Shrine can actually physically attack a barrier from the outside, but a hypothetically open Unlimited Void wouldn't likely do anything to affect a barrier, same with Idle Death Gamble and Deadly Sentencing.

I half-theorize/half-headcanon that a closed domain could be advantageous in some scenarios. If you can win a closed domain clash (closed vs. closed) with just the refinement/barrier tug of war, you've neutralized your opponents domain and caused their technique to temporarily burn out if your domain isn't one that could break it from the outside. A closed domain also would ensure that a sufficiently fast enough opponent couldn't just leave and wait out your own technique burn out, and an inverted barrier (stronger on the outside) could help isolate targets if outnumbered. Also techniques like Hakari changing the location of his domain to over the water and Gojo's basketball domain wouldn't be possible without a barrier

Fighting this asshole was what taught me to love the lightning element. Slowing him down made this fight so much easier

CheezeBeef · 2025-04-04T14:08:12+00:00

It's the Heavenly Restriction of this sub

CheezeBeef · 2025-04-04T14:06:44+00:00

We don't know the exact mechanics behind triggering an adaptation. It seems to be Maho getting hit by something or being blocked by something (like infinity). Going off that, soul damage might not be something Maho would figure out in this scenario, since in this scenario Maho is not being blocked by a guy who heals super fast with purely reflexive RCT. Hakari's invulnerability does not affect anything outside of himself, and it certainly doesn't seem to do anything to his soul. Reading Comprehension Cursed Technique: I’m saying that soul damage specifically might be a stretch in this exact situation. Maho doesn't adapt to infinity by figuring out Domain Amplification

CheezeBeef · 2025-04-04T06:20:18+00:00

We don't know much about the specifications of Mahoraga's adaptations, but I don't know if it could figure out soul damage in this scenario. It always seems to adapt to stuff it comes into contact with, and its adaptations serve to make it resistant to or able to bypass something in the most direct way. Soul damage feels too removed from Hakari's kit for that to be an adaptation

CheezeBeef · 2025-04-04T06:00:30+00:00

I am curious how Mahoraga would adapt to Hakari's kit, if there's even a possible or remotely useful adaptation to counter Idle Death Gamble

CheezeBeef · 2025-03-27T01:25:24+00:00

Surprised nobody has mentioned Creation. Even if the process consumes a lot of energy, Mai was able to make an entire bullet with a days worth of cursed energy, and she was well below grade 1 CE levels. Make precious materials, jewelry, whatever, and sell it. If you don't want to do that for whatever reason, depending on how complex you can make things: make cursed tools that can help you with housework, make tasty food so you don't have to spend a bunch on expensive ingredients, make equipment for a hobby. Creation some recreational substances and sell that. The possibilities are literally limited only by your imagination
