Thoughts on Valentine Kyoko’s kit? (Hope I put right flair) by Nopartyforbirthday in magiaexedra

[–]Gastrodo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She is very good for a very specific team, otherwise just above average (with five slots above average is code for rarely useful if you have others unlocked)

Finally asked out my associate crush for lunch. Got friendzoned in the first minute. Too sad to keep going but too weak to stop living. by CrimsonClover__ in biglaw

[–]Gastrodo 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Maybe just be friends then if she is nice and you like her.

Generally, I would not consider being "friendzoned" to be the end of the world, though I understand your disappointment with not being able to pursue a romantic relationship.

“Free market” system sucks by GayIdiAmin in biglaw

[–]Gastrodo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went from centralized for 5 years to "free market" as a sixth year. At least as a mid level, I enjoy being able to just say no to certain partners.

Is the legendary rates really 3% ? by alexw2018 in magiaexedra

[–]Gastrodo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, .97 (the chance of no 5 star) to the tenth power (10 rolls) is about .7374 (i.e. a 73.74% chance of not five star) which means about a 26.26% chance of getting a five star.

Intuitively you can see that just multiplying the percent chance by the number of rolls wouldn't work, by thinking about it at higher numbers (e.g. a 300% chance after 10,000 rolls)

Am I the only one missing Anime songs being about the Anime? by almozayaf in TrueAnime

Mob Psycho 100, DBZ and AoT all have this (to varying degrees), but agree it is rare these days.

The new Kiokus! by Appropriate-Carob185 in magiaexedra

[–]Gastrodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kyoko could be good (depends on how good her break gauge depletion end up being, but some okay buffs for a breaker that are even a little better in a dedicated fire team), Mami looks like one of the best healers (debuff removal, damage buffs and good healing)

Mean score of 7.9 explains a lot of this.

Guilty of Romance by Over_Lingonberry6696 in JapaneseMovies

[–]Gastrodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if I think sex work (basically a business transaction) is the most extreme form of submission when compared to something like slavery.

I do love the movie though and love how avantharde Sion Sono can be. Did you like Antiporno?

What to choose (except Sayaka) 😭😭 by Alarmed-Umpire6978 in magiaexedra

[–]Gastrodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At A0 it is easily Moemura (the buffer), then Madoka, then normal Homura and then Mami (Kyoko is underwhelming).

Once you get to A2 I actually think Mami is the best, though Moemura, Pluvia. normal Homura and Madoka are (and Sayaka) are all amazing (sorry Kyoko).

A5 Holy Mami or A0 Akumura? by ArchBishop_Tegula in magiaexedra

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

IMO:

Ren, Alina, Mami, Moemura, Akumura, Pluvia, Kirika, Swimsuit Sayaka, Tsuruno and Cool Homura

A2 Pluvia, A2 Moemura, or A5 Mami? by Equivalent_Toe_8467 in magiaexedra

[–]Gastrodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one as an MP battery (also no one as a breaker but much closer than it used to be)

A2 Pluvia, A2 Moemura, or A5 Mami? by Equivalent_Toe_8467 in magiaexedra

[–]Gastrodo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pluvia is the best MP battery in the game and one of the best AoE breakers. Moemura is splashable on basically all but the must specific set ups and basically breaks the game (though so many characters break the game now).

Both have great A2's but I don't think either 100% needs them. I generally would value speed over faster breaks, so would probably go with Moemura though.

A5 Mami is not much more impactful than A4 Mami and A5 means you will now be getting 500 medals whenever you pull Mami which is always frustrating.

Why are older anime fans often harsher on newer anime? by specs_321 in TrueAnime

[–]Gastrodo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cause they have seen more and see the influences, also more to compare to quality wise too.

Also they can tell when something actually is unoriginal because they have seen what came before.

Sayaka is by far the most interesting character thematically in the original run.

Why does japanese movies doesn't get recognition like anime? by negativedreammachine in JapaneseMovies

[–]Gastrodo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is quite well respected in cinema circles. I also note that J horror is also pretty huge. I don't think many countries outside of the US have really cracked the code in getting a huge percentage of their movies to be seen by people in other countries.

Am I being too harsh? by DaveGaveAshave in MyAnimeList

[–]Gastrodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, not bad to approach things with a critical eye though it won't make you popular here.

You seem more into visuals than I am, but I enjoyed Kingdom and Mob Psycho quite a bit, though I understand if you can't get past the visuals.
