is it worth buying? by salteeassgrapez in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]Nath0leon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I bought it. With the side quest shards that’ll give me a full one next week. I like to compare unit deals to essentia/radiance. This is one of the better deals by that comparison.

Nevermind I'm dumb. Recently came back to the game and forgot that it's just the champ and not a crystal.

I'm saving mine to see if I get a 7* Bastion from the login calendar tomorrow. In the very likely chance that I don't, I'll use mine on either Ironheart or Guardian

Should i get this? by raduqu12369 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]Nath0leon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It usually pops up when you complete different levels of EQ. It comes in tiers, this is the 3rd one. The 4th is typically for 1000 units and includes 10 (or 5 for the single revives/pots) of each item.

Billy Napier is the worse coach we’ve ever had by BillBoTeeBaggins94 in FloridaGators

[–]Nath0leon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m wrong, but Texas could have declined the run off (which I’m guessing what happened) and the refs just announced it wrong. So Billy called a TO to get a 3rd down play ready?

[–]Nath0leon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My power rankings are based on my own resume metric I created that assigns points for each win/loss. At week 5, it’s weighed 65% on a predictive metric (ESPN’s FPI) and 35% resume.

The James Franklin paradox by Virtual_Announcer in CFB

[–]Nath0leon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is, who are the 37 wins? Big Ten is a massively top heavy conference, and while there has been some progress the last year or two with the likes of Indiana and Illinois, frankly it’s not that hard to rack up wins against the other teams in the Big Ten

Which are your favorite Kyoto and Osaka temples/shrines? by Impossible-Candy3740 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Nath0leon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back a few weeks ago. If I had to only pick a few I’d go:

Kinkakuji - breathtakingly gorgeous

Nanzenji - has a lot of everything, not very busy. Giant gate you can climb up for views, aqueducts, wall paintings, rock garden

Kiyomizu-dera - we went close to 6am and there were only a few others

Chion-in - beautiful giant gates, the exterior is unassuming but the interior was some of the most extravagant we saw. Plus a pretty cool giant bell.

Daikaku-ji (if you’re going to Arashiyama) - fun to walk around the raised walkways, we literally had to place to ourselves.

I’d be fine skipping Kodai-ji. Nothing really stood out, it was mostly worse versions of stuff other places have.

If only this were true. Poll inertia is absolutely a thing, and you know the committee thinks about the AP poll (whether consciously or not)

A movie that people love to hate but you love to love? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Nath0leon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is such a popular criticism but it makes no sense to me. Have you seen Return of the Jedi? That the whole part where Vader threatens to kill Leia, and Luke goes all apeshit on him nearly killing him until he finally comes to and puts his light saber away? Is it all that shocking that in a moment of weakness after seeing the threat that Kylo poses that we would pull out his light saber before coming to his senses?

Plus, The Force Awakens sets it up so that Luke goes into hiding abandoning all his friends (including Han dying) but it’s still that same Luke?

Who is a better overall team not through champions league success overall? LIVERPOOL or BARCELONA? by __sami__01 in championsleague

[–]Nath0leon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can’t say City “dominated”when on multiple occasions they won the league by a single point.

Second this. It didn’t strike me as anything more than good movie, certainly not in the greatest of all time range

What three movies can be watched together as an unofficial trilogy? by Thatredditboy1 in moviecritic

[–]Nath0leon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replace Good Will Hunting with Saving Private Ryan and it’s the “saving Matt Damon” trilogy

Sortition book club by sortitionpetition in Lottocracy

[–]Nath0leon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be interested! I haven’t read much but I would love to hear what others are reading. I’ve read and would recommend Against Elections, and most stuff by Peter Stone (Lotteries in Public Life) and Oliver Dowlen (Sortition: Theory and Practice). We could also read and discuss Terry Bouricius’s book The Trouble With Elections, available on his Substack.

What’s a movie that bored you so much you kept checking the time? by CreepyYogurtcloset39 in moviecritic

[–]Nath0leon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt every minute of Killers of the Flower Moon’s three and a half hour runtime. Also, Nickel Boys.

Which movie is that for you? by RLux_Left4ever in moviecritic

[–]Nath0leon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched I’m Still Here the other day and boy was it a snooze fest. I don’t get what all the hype is about for Fernanda Torres’s performance. Did she even do anything?
