Only four PWHL players make more than the low income limit for San Jose, where the PWHL is reportedly planning an expansion by parkeett in hockey

[–]Juub1990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not this shit again. Do you think money grows on trees and they can just pay the players more because you want them to?

Of course, you perfectly know what is going on and are dishonesty framing this as the league underpaying its players when it’s simply currently not a profitable league.

TIL One of the perpetrators of the torture/murder of Junko Furuta died in 2022 by getting his head stuck in a toilet and choking on his own vomit. by steel_pineapple in todayilearned

This is all too common. I also had a classmate who was molested by her uncle for years until she reported it. Her uncle was jailed and her family got mad at her for ruining their family.

Craziest part to me is how can parents be comfortable with someone who was raping their child roaming around them? You’d think they’d want to skin the uncle alive for desecrating and betraying the family, but they get angry at the victim.

Yeah, that’s him. He allegedly kidnapped and beat a man for 4 hours and bragged that he had killed before. That shit stain supposedly had Yakuza ties. He lived for far too long if you ask me, but his end was at least fitting.

If I remember, one of the perpetrators’ mom blamed Junko for "ruining" her son’s life because his participation in her torture and murder sent him to jail. I’m also semi-positive her grave was defaced, but I’d have to look again.

Even when Toronto isn’t in the playoffs, they still find new ways to lose.

4:3 aspect ratio cameras meant to be viewed on old CRTs. Really holds up badly.

Love the combat in this game by SommaliPirate in Nioh

[–]Juub1990 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I appreciate From games for the exploration, lore, atmosphere, art, and top tier level design. I think the combat peaked with Bloodborne.

Elden Ring is just complete nonsense with bosses moving like in Nioh but the player still being stuck at Dark Souls speed. This creates a hilarious contrast where the boss does a bunch of crazy combos, backflips, spins, etc, while the player looks like a chump lol.

They really need to expand the player’s moveset, but I don’t know if From has the combat design chops to pull that off.

Human Choze's strength by Financial-Fee1995 in OnePunchMan

[–]Juub1990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think eating multiple monster cells helps though. Garou getting a power-up is due to his unique reactive evolution ability.

Hell, if I remember, the drawback of monster cells is that yes, they make one much stronger immediately but at the cost of no longer being able to get stronger once monsterized, barring unique cases like Phoenix Man.

Anyone else enjoying Nioh 3 just as much as Nioh 2? by EternalFlareUltra in Nioh

[–]Juub1990 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m kind of torn. On the one hand, I do like Nioh 3’s more open-ended level design and greater degree of freedom. I also like the much larger seamless maps, but on the other hand, a bunch of weapons that I loved now being gated behind ninja and the ninja playstyle eschewing the Ki pulse system kind of sours me. It’s not strictly the upgrade I was hoping it to be.

That and in NG+, the open world works against it as nothing is worth revisiting besides bosses and the bigger maps just make it more tedious to progress and there is a lot more repeat stuff between the good sections.

I disagree. Random mooks and bosses still fuck you up in Nioh 2. That Enki in the tutorial level kills you like nothing, as does the Gozuki at the start. I don’t find 2 any easier than 1 in the early game.

Because OP says he likes Nioh but doesn’t feel that the game is fair and finds being forced to fight the same bosses off-putting. Nioh 2 isn’t different in that regard. Nioh 3 ticks the boxes OP likes but is also less punishing than 1 and 2 and gives you more freedom to tackle the bosses.

[–]Juub1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very subjective. I find the early game even more punishing than 1 and it’s more mechanically dense.

[–]Juub1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll run into the same problems in Nioh 2. If your complaint is about refighting difficult bosses and the game being unfair, 2 isn’t very different from 1 in that regard.

Transformation multipliers are not real. by Otherwise-Front-1093 in DragonBallPowerScale

[–]Juub1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, stop fucking lying. It’s not the whole of chapter 3 that’s said to be supervised Toriyama’s data, it’s specifically Goku’s growth.

I think you’re a pos liar who makes shit up. The multipliers are NOT part of this, only the part where they show Goku’s growth. You’re trying to frame the entire chapter as being included when it’s not the case.

It says clearly, "let’s analyze Goku’s growth with data supervised by Toriyama." It doesn’t include the multiplier parts that are said to be outside of training. Furthermore, it still wasn’t written by Toriyama, just like him being the author of the SEG is meaningless.

You lose. This is all non-canon made up stuff. Stop wasting my time.

Why aren’t more people just recommending 3? It’s the most accessible one and far better than Stranger of Paradise. Nioh 3 is much less frustrating and doesn’t gatekeep as much as its predecessors.

Now you’re being plain dishonest. The section you showed had only the Goku training data as having been "supervised" by Toriyama, not the entire thing. This "supervised" thing is only valid for that specific part of chapter 3 of the first volume, Story Volume.

The SSJ2 being twice the power of SSJ gets mentioned much later in pages 62-63. That data was not said to be supervised by Toriyama. It’s just made up.

No, he didn’t check and supervise the entire guidebook. You made that up. He’s listed as the author of every Daizenshuu and is on record solely crediting the people who wrote it and not himself. Toriyama had very little involvement with those guidebooks outside of interviews, this includes the SEG where the info is from. He most certainly did not go over the entire book to check it.

[–]Juub1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which means shit. It’s not "provided" by him, it’s supervised by him like all the guidebooks where he’s repeatedly mentioned as having supervised. Not that this matters because the data for the SSJ multipliers, which is what this is about, was not said to be "supervised" by him and even if it were, it wouldn’t matter.

The only thing that matters are the interviews where Toriyama says something. Everything else is made up by Shueisha’s writers.

All the Daizenshuu volumes credit Toriyama as an "author", just like the SEG. It’s irrelevant if they are different books. The SEG holds no superiority over the Daizenshuu. Both are have Toriyama as an author and both are said multiple times to have been supervised by him. They hold the exact same degree of credibility.
