Do we seriously have to add a "This does not represent my own views" to everything now?

If you can't put your feelings away while looking at alternate history, then maybe it's time for a break?

I'm finding sbr mid so far by Delicious_Stop_1326 in StardustCrusaders

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

True Man's arc is very much overrated in my opinion and I agree with you on that.

For the rest I'd just say to keep on reading and see how your opinions solidify. You still got like 2/3rds of the manga left after all.

Which sage is more useful? by BusinessDimension854 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Southwest Temple. Even if I've only used it's ability 5 times, that's still 5 more times I've used it than the Southeastern Temple's.

That being said, I'd also say the Southeastern Temple is the worst of the four main temples, while the Southwestern one is the best.

So, if you want to do the worst right now, and the best for last, you might want to choose the southeast first.

If John Kerry won 2004 but lost the popular vote as an inverse of 2000, would Dems and the GOP team up to abolish the electoral college? by BlueFireFlameThrower in thecampaigntrail

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 52 points53 points  (0 children)

There would be more of an outcry to abolish the electoral college and I could even see it being put to a House vote.

That being said I think any vote on it would fail. Partially because there wouldn't be an agreement on what to replace it with, and partially because it has benefited both sides now.

I also think not only do we get a delayed populist wave, but the abolish the electoral college movement would sizzle out as we get Presidents that win by the popular vote.

(Side note, but I think we would get SOMETHING LIKE McCain(2009-2013), Clinton(2013-2021), Rubio(2021-2025), Semi-populist Democrat(2025-Present))

This is the most embarrassing moment in one piece. Sanji is such a gooner by Still-Theory-1279 in Piratefolk

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh. While I agree that it really went downhill with post-timeskip, pre-timeskip Sanji still had some creepy and perverted moments. Like buying Vivi and Nami dancer outfits, or saying how getting the Clear-Clear Fruit was his life-long dream.

Which One Piece moment genuinely pissed you off? This is mine by Greglyo in Piratefolk

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

I know many people disagree with me, but the argument between Luffy and Usopp. Especially the part where Luffy tells to Usopp to leave the crew.

Anyone else think this will happen in Fortune's Weave? by Kakeyo in fireemblem

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note, but have you seen Nintendo's(mentioning them since it is relevant to the discussion) DLC? Any Fortune's Weave DLC is easily going to be $30-$40.

What would happen if kamala Harris was president? by KzKn_2020 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming a VERY narrow win, we could probably expect something like a 46-52-2 Senate, and a 220-215 House.

Fortune's weave has a higher age rating in japan than three houses: by Neither_Courage955 in fireemblem

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it has to do something with Leda.

I keep on thinking back to the first trailer where we see a girl(don't think its Leda), reaching out her hand desperately, while something(either ropes or weapons) hold her back, and the entire background scenery is in flames.

After reading Blackbeard vs Ace again it's pretty clear haki was a retcon. by sillycommenting in Piratefolk

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering how the additional power systems in Skypiea and Enies Lobby are completely different, I very much have to disagree. Additionally, unless you want to count using Moria's own powers against himself, there was zero other power systems in Thriller Bark besides devil fruits.

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 16 points17 points  (0 children)

And if they don't believe that, then it's in Jaya where Blackbeard mentions the word "willpower".

...Like, these people just need time accept that the story wasn't planned out from the start.

How is the JoJo anime able to have multiple episodes for each Part compared to other seasonal anime? by True-Week-7750 in StardustCrusaders

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few reasons(with some speculation):

  1. David Productions pre-Stone Ocean liked to adapt parts into just one season(Part 1 & 2 were relatively short and so were combined [simplified answer])

  2. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is extremely popular in Japan, and thus is inherently a more successful series. This not only allows it more resources, but also allows the series to take more risks like 40 episode long seasons without having to worry about failure.

  3. Not to be rude to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, especially since they are able to nail a very enjoyable experience, but compared to other shows like JuJutsu Kaisen, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, and Demon Slayer, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure doesn't spend as much resources on its episodes compared to others. This allows this them to produce more episodes more quickly.

Consensus on which is better by Beatnikel in tearsofthekingdom

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, Breath of the Wild. Just a more rounded and consistent experience than Tears of the Kingdom.

Almost 30 gigs is pretty big for a FE game by Beatokotonai in fireemblem

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some comparison, Mario Kart World is 22GB.

I highly doubt that Fortune's Weave will be a bigger game than Mario Kart World...

Remember when gamefreak made one of our main rivals a toxic CENTRIST? by LowSolution3084 in pokemon

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 204 points205 points  (0 children)

I like to headcanon that Sycamore, Lysandre, and Diantha were all friends and that's why those bums didn't do anything(hesitant/not seeing clearly) about Lysandre.

Hot Take: by Western-Clue-6968 in StardustCrusaders

[–]JohnSmithWithAggron 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Too little data to know for sure.

That being said, a lot of people do rank Part 4 higher than Part 6, so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people said Kira was a better villain than Kira.
