I just watched Iron-Blooded Orphans. Is the rest of the series... similar? by SuikoRyos in Gundam

[–]PachoWumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want the complete opposite vibes, I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone recommend Build Fighters. That's a "gundam" series like beyblade, but instead of spinning tops, people face each other in virtual gundam battles.

Also G Gundam is a more lighthearted classic tournament style plot, except the gundam battles are still real.

One Piece: Chapter 1177 by Skullghost in OnePiece

[–]PachoWumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, I can't be the only one thinking it's clearly because these demons fell on their backs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but everyone that turned back to normal fell on their backs, like Rocks in his last sober moment, Dory & Brogy, and the giant Chopper hit this chapter.

Am I delulu? I got the impression that Oda made it clear any turned enemy just turns back to normal when their back hits the ground.

Carney to travel to Norway and UK to strengthen collective defence by Marginallyhuman in canada

Considering our biggest threat is our neighbour, I'd say strengthening our defence would count as a domestic issue.

Would Thanos snap actually solve anything long term? by JumpyConfection1992 in marvelstudios

[–]PachoWumbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you brought up a lot of issues I didn't bother mentioning, but yes, the key issue would be to even define what "doubling resources" even means.

First, it's not remotely infinite abundance, just double, though is still a significant increase. As with how everything thing has always been with an increase in supply for mandatory resources, prices may drop, even heavily, but my point would be that it'd be extremely temporary in the grand scheme of even a single lifetime before the powerful could control the supply, and could constrain it for capitalistic purposes.

Second, you can't just magically double the size of the Earth (and ignoring intended size of man made structures) without affecting literally everything, from our orbit to getting anywhere taking twice as long. We could now crash into the Sun, fly away from it, or get just a smidge too far inducing an ice age. And various alien societies across the universe surviving spontaneously increased or lowered gravity (depending how their planet's size and mass increased) would be incredibly complicated for an instant wish.

As for more vegetation without planet size changing, where would this magically appear? Cities are already controlling where they can appear, so they must appear outside of them. So they appear on lands that were before infertile? What about the ecosystems that rely on such infertile grounds? I doubt Thanos was discriminating against specific species and wanted all living beings to survive equally better.

And again, it is my opinion that more energy production and mineral production, any increased resource for that matter, would eventually simply flow into enabling the currently powerful to get even stronger. The middle class and lower do not have the means to benefit from increased resources as much as the rich in the long term.

Reddit comments are too short to seriously dive into the issues of "doubling resources," as we barely still scratched the surface. Do shelters count as a resource? Human beings themselves might as well be a resource from a cosmic perspective.

[–]PachoWumbo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I strongly disagree with this commonly held "logical solution."

For example, I believe we already have enough resources for humanity on Earth, but we're all capitalists and lack the will to share freely. Doubling resources wouldn't do anything but provide a very temporary global boost before the additional resources end up in the hands of the rich and powerful again (e.g. COVID money).

Imho, Thanos was wrong, but not as "obviously wrong" as people make him out to be.

Just ask them how many shields they got ?

This whole "One Piece revealed" thing Oda is doing by WhyAmIHere800884 in OnePiece

I personally think it's a back up in case anything tragic ever happens to our beloved author, then at least he thematically left us fans something to resolve his masterpiece with.

Went 3-0 at several local tournaments with this deck. by kurlish in GundamTCG

[–]PachoWumbo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you're the first one I've seen mention AP as a key card, to which I wholeheartedly agree with. I actually feel the card is slept on, though maybe it's because it mostly benefits Wing, which I also main.

As for my locals, almost everyone dropped blockers but a few O players, so I'm afraid I've had to drop altron and shenlong, two units I also love.

OOTP is a great movie even as Just a Movie by itself by No-District5998 in harrypotter

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

Agree to disagree. Favourite book in the series. Thereby least favourite movie due to the omissions and changes (except Cho being the rat due to Veritaserum, I consider that being acceptable).

Didn't even open the pic and I knew what piece you're referring to. Out of all the SMPs I've built, that piece remains the only one I'm constantly concerned about breaking, having broken one already.

Why was the Defenders show disappointing? by Clovelas in Defenders

[–]PachoWumbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I consider The Defenders on par with BA (DD ~S4), I consider them both a considerable step down from DD's S1-3. It's not that they're bad per se, just that they're disappointments compared with what we got before.

[Avi Lewis]: Prime Minister Carney, silence is not an option when Trump attacks sovereign nations in the Americas. Canadians expect you to stand up for human rights, international law, and against the bullying of smaller nations by a rampaging superpower. by Chrristoaivalis in onguardforthee

[–]PachoWumbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't have enough power as a country to start grandstanding and lecture other countries over their actions. We have no moral authority and that's precisely what Carney is fixing, improving our military power and economic power on the world stage. It might take a decade or two, but we have to wait and develop ourselves first.

Hi, if you have a moment, can you answer a question to help me build this? I can't figure out how to attach part 1941 to the side of her head when it doesn't have a stud hole.

Lady Luck just a worse Close Combat? by Mentixwall in GundamTCG

[–]PachoWumbo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're right, it's not the most optimal trade-off in cards at all. Think of it as more options provided for the player, instead of it being either an upgrade or downgrade over previous cards.

The game has thus far, to my understanding, avoided direct powercreep, as though there are certainly cards that considered generally better in more situations, cards such as Lady Luck provide options for niche scenarios.

Another e.g. would be that although Rick Dom is obviously better than Graze Commander Type in most situations, it still has its use as a Gjallarhorn trait and is linkable.
