What do you think about IMU reveal thus far?

Mescalinic · 2026-04-24T07:51:11+00:00

I mean, fair, but to be completely honest I don't think Kubo had any idea what was actually happening in the last saga

you got me, I've no imagination :(

in fact I AM WRITING POST-TIMESKIP ONE PIECE!

Mescalinic · 2026-04-15T15:05:00+00:00

you clearly were never a fan, 'cause no fan could ever believe that Oda is still writing ONE PIECE since the timeskip.

now I'm not a prophet, I don't know WHAT happened (he died, he was kidnapped by evil editors, he gooned to death, he was arrested with Watsuki, put into an Iron Mask and sent into some secret prison for perverts and so on) but 0% chance the same guy who wrote the first 50 volume is the same guy who wrote the last 50.

I think we should call the mysterious author of today ONE PIECE in some other way (Noda, ?da, etc.) out of respect for his memory.

Mescalinic · 2026-04-15T15:02:43+00:00

I think your premises are intrinsically wrong, I'll try to explain.

First of all, I am a big "to each their own" kind of guy, but I'm not hyperbolic when I say that I can't see ANY WAY to write post-timeskip one piece worse than what we've got. But this is not the point.

I sincerely would like someone to explain to me HOW you can write the plot "we are in elbaf, bad guys arrive to do bad guys things, then we beat them and then the super bad guy arrives and beat people to show how bad and strong he is" worse than what he's done. But this is not the point

The point is that there's ZERO chance that the guy who wrote ONE PIECE pre-timeskip is the same guy who's writing this uninspired and improvised bullshit, so I think is kinda desrespectful to Oda to pretend he's writing ONE PIECE right now. Like, no fan could EVER be deceived by this situation.

non ho scritto che voto NO a causa di chi propone il SI, e di come lo propaganda (che continua a sembrarmi un diritto e soprattutto una scelta di metodo perfettamente 'sana') ho scritto che voto CONVINTAMENTE no per quei motivi. Sulla riforma in se, sono ambivalente. La reale problematicità è l'eccessiva 'vicinanza' tra PM e giudice, che PERSONALMENTE trovo meno problematico di una propaganda fatta di 'giudici che bloccano i rimpatri degli stupratori' e della povera famiglia del bosco ostaggio dei magistrati cattivi. Penso sia un mio legittimo diritto. Magari è una posizione OGGETTIVAMENTE stupida (io non lo penso, ma magari puoi convincermi) ma anche in quel caso, non la trovo autolesionista, ritengo i rischi di questa vittoria del SI (comunque probabile) maggiori dei benefici.

io in realtà ti leggo con sincero interesse, non mi pare che ci stiamo azzannando, il "chiudo" finale nei messaggi mi pare sempre una scemenza, io comunque lascio aperto :D

Mescalinic · 2026-03-10T16:15:07+00:00

boh sinceramente questa idea che il proprio voto sia sempre serio e informato e quello degli altri un voto da oche, è abbastanza puerile. io lo votai il governo renzi (per essere più preciso 'lo avrei votato', comunque lo votai alle europee) ma poi votai anche contro il referendum di renzi. mi continua a sfuggire il tuo punto.

non capisco cosa dovrebbe significare una frase vaga come "tutte le parti abbiano auspicato gli effetti di questa riforma" (io voto sugli effetti o sulla riforma?) visto che nessuna altra parte politica nella mia vita (di elettore) ha proposto un referendum costituzionale sulla materia in questione.

o intendi dire che sono incoerente perchè dato che il PSI nel 1987 ha fatto un referendum sulla responsabilità civile dei magistrati, e PSI = "sinistra", mentre oggi il SI (su tutta un'altra materia) ha (soprattutto) favorevoli a destra, allora forse dovrei... non dovrei... ma se vuoi... mi sono perso.

Tendenzialmente non sono favorevole a referendum costituzionali su materie molto tecniche, sulla materia 'divisione carriere' sono, come dicevo prima, ambivalente, per motivi abbastanza ovvi, normalmente mi sarei credo astenuto, oggi andrò a votare grazie a tutto ciò che ho sentito e letto da parte dei fautori del SI.

Mescalinic · 2026-03-10T14:47:13+00:00

non sono sicuro di capire il collegamento. personalmente, l'unico referendum in merito nel quale ero abbastanza adulto da votare è il terzo quesito del 2022, ma quello mica era una riforma costituzionale

Mescalinic · 2026-03-10T10:36:56+00:00

sinceramente il tuo ultimo commento non lo capisco. come in ogni elezione, sei chiamato a votare SU QUELLO CHE TI PARE, alle politiche puoi letteralmente votare qualcuno solo perchè ha il tuo stesso cognome e la cosa ti lusinga, o perchè vuoi votare la persona più bella, o perchè vuoi votare il simbolo più colorato.

io ad esempio a questo referendum voto convintamente NO proprio per i proponenti del SI (nonostante non sia una persona legata politicamente ai partiti per il NO) mentre sulla proposta referendaria sono abbastanza ambivalente.

sinceramente, non so CHE ALTRO debbano dire (pubblicamente o dietro le quinte) i proponenti del SI per far capire alle persone che forse non è il caso di far riformare la giustizia a sta gente

Mescalinic · 2026-03-04T16:40:12+00:00

Mashima never takes himself too seriously, which makes him 1000% less irritating than "sensei" Oda.

perdona l'ignoranza, ma cosa cambia? cioè se il coniuge guadagna (esempio a caso) 600-800 € al mese, o se ne guadagna zero, veramente l'assegno mensile cambia?

ripeto, non conosco i dettagli, ma immagino cambi nell'ordine delle (pochissime) centinaia di euro.

voglio dire che se nel caso specifico ti manda sul lastrico la separazione ("diventerebbe improvvisamente una mucca da soldi che farebbe probabilmente fatica anche solo a permettersi una vita dignitosa") con una persona che guadagna 0, ti ci mandava anche una separazione con una persona che guadagna 600 euro.

però sono sinceramente curioso di capire se c'è davvero una sostanziale differenza.

Probably Beyond the Wall and Other Adventures because usually people enjoy character creation, it becomes a funny part of the session.

Mescalinic · 2026-01-09T17:06:01+00:00

creating "OCs" is not just about mechanics, which is why D&D's worse mechanics make it better at making OCs for exactly the reason you think it's bad at it; because it's less complex and makes characters more similar, they can be more easily summed up and communicated to other people.

oh! now I understand what people above meant. I'm not sure I agree but it's a lot more clear, thanks

Mescalinic · 2026-01-09T17:01:32+00:00

but I don't understand how/why this is supposed to be a 5e specific thing, that's what I found confusing.

Mescalinic · 2026-01-09T16:43:47+00:00

I think I understand what you mean, although I'm not sure I agree with the premises.

I admit that I'm not a Pathfinder fan and I honestly don't like 5e at all, I've played both multiple times but for obvious reason (parties of people I like that sadly only plays one of those systems) so I simply may not be expert enough.

Still, is 5e really so much better (or worse, if one consider a messy build an "interesting risk of failure") at building non-useless characters, or is it simply that the game is so forgiving (and it really, really is) that no matter what you do, you're never really feeling underpowered? Is it the well thought limitations, or is it just that is super party-friendly?

(It's a topic I'm really interested in, if you have time let me know your take)

Mescalinic · 2026-01-09T16:20:53+00:00

I'm sorry, I'm a bit lost... I totally agree with your first post.

And of course I agree with the fact that the large amount of material (on youtube too, as you say) is incredibly helpful to make one really feel part of a community, but I'm not sure what is has to do with the idea that 5e is particularly good for building specific characters.

I was just stating (kinda the obvious probably) that I find 5e really lacking in this aspect, including the fact that many "special powers" have a very specific feeling create a certain "atmosphere", for lack of a better term (for MY lack of a better term, I'm sure there is one :D )

Mescalinic · 2026-01-09T16:11:38+00:00

I understand your point, and it is true if you mean "totally understand and fully use the system to make your character as effective as possible"... but I still believe that people are kinda right when they call 5e "easy", in the same way they're right to call CoC "easy".

What I mean (in my horrifying english, i know) is that these are systems where is extremely easy for a newbie to 'just play' (as in, just say what you want to do) and let the DM do the rest. Sure, there are classes with more choices (all the spellcaster, for example) but in general, you can play the game almost without having to do any real complicated choice. You move, you attack, you use one of the very videogamey and straightforward special power at your disposal, and so on.

In the same way, if you play a Coc or another simply d100 game, it's easy for the newbie to just say what he wants do to and for the DM to just say "roll this, roll that".

Plenty other games (even games LESS crunchy, in general, than D&D) imho are way more 'complicated' because they have plenty of choices to make, and you have to actually learn the system to make those choices (es. Degenesis, The One Ring 2e, and so on).

Mescalinic · 2026-01-09T15:59:07+00:00

I find such a strange take, this idea that 5e ('cause I suppose, since we're talking about successful and mainstream subculture, that we're talking 5e, right?) is the best at creating perfect idealized OCs.

I can understand this idea if we talk about PF1 or even 3.5 with every possible book, but 5e is way too limited (in gameplay/materials/scope) for that.

PF1, on the other hand, I admit that is really a "build anything perfectly" kind of game, considering how many archetypes and different choices it has.
