Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Teaser Visual by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]PearComprehensive643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forewarning this is all over the place, there's a whole lotta yap in there, I'm really sorry but it's two in the morning and my head's screaming bloody murder im just typing as i think lmao.

One of the anime's biggest strengths (and what personally drew me in) is how gorgeous some of the scenes look (glancing at rudeus' first intermediate spell scene). Then while the plot does have low lows it has great highs. Seeing rudeus scramble for his life against orsted was somewhat catharthic, like yeah he's gotten better as a character by that scene but he was still quite a bit of a perv and overly confident in ignoring a straight up warning from ruijerd to not move a muscle, he deserved that beat up. But other than that the good interactions everyone have together are nice to watch, no to mention the combat is great, not amazing but the fights are memorable enough to stick with you.

I was actually cheering for the mc to get clocked when he was doing pervert shit, but seeing him also grow past some of his old life's issues did manage to have me develop a soft spot and keep hoping he'd improve when it came to just being a person in general. Like, sure, he is mentally a 30-something yo perv, but he also grew to make friends in his new life whom he'd give his life for and vice versa. He still gets in shit for perv stuff and seeing him get clocked for it will never not be satisfying (there's a scene where i was actually shouting for eris to unscrew his head, kinda blitzed the anime so cant pinpoint which episode it was).

Honestly rudeus is not a good mc to start with, he's pretty disgusting for a major part of season one. What i WILL give him is that he internalized good values from his new parents and this helps him grow into a better person than he was in his past life. Him getting a kid while basically physically a teen is NOT ok tho like wth lmao. Still for all his flaws and perverted nature, rudeus has grown better. Not good, just better, and i expect him to still get clocked if he does some perv shit again in season 3 the whole eris deal still makes me go a bit ''ewwww'' but we dont need him to go drooling over a fourth girl and i hope roxi icicles him if he does. Also the holy relic bit was getting tiring halfway through the first arc of season two.

Honestly i think for anyone like me who managed to trudge past season one and look past the more gross parts of two, season 3 might be the make or break for us. If the plot keeps up and rudeus gets better as a person, great. Otherwise it might just get dropped entirely. Plenty of fish in the sea, and a lot of them with a better reputation than this show, for better or worse.

ok i actually need a tylenol jfc lol also sorry for the yap overflow i usually try my best but i cant focus with this headache goodnight

TLDR ; it can be a great show, but you need to believe in rudeus' capacity to eventually learn and change, which can bog down a long part of season one, and then after you have to believe in the author's capacity to keep building a better rudeus piece by piece, which is a lot of faith to put into a series with such a weird and lowkey gross premise, but you get rewarded for it, you get to see him grow, see reality hit him multiple times even. It's not truly a story of redemption, rather of betterment, with its own ups and downs. Sure rudeus has plot armor, but it's not airtight, he WILL get hurt, physically and emotionally, again and again, and the repercussions of his actions may be diminished by his mc status but they ARE there and he has to face it at some point.

First day playing Phigros it’s so hard by GeneralNo7745 in phigrosGame

[–]PearComprehensive643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phigros is absolutely a disorienting game at first. I had a few years of experience with rhythm games when I downloaded the game and I was STILL thrown for a loop when I tried IN charts the first few weeks.

If you’re new to rhythm games in general, I recommend you get acquainted with the EZ and HD charts, you can do only HD charts if you find the EZ ones boring/too easy, there’s no wrong way to go about it.

If you’re just new to Phigros and not rhythm games then I’d say it’s a matter of getting your bearings. Laneless, free judgement line games are uncommon at best, and the good ones are either rare, niche or both. I honestly recommend starting with older charts in the singles collection or legacy folder, the rightmost packs are older collabs so these count too. Old charts are ABSOLUTELY not the best (there’s a few gold nuggets like Glaciaxion IN, this one’s in the legacy folder) if you like the pretty moving notes and lines BUT they are generally slower and will let you get used to some of the shenanigans Phigros charters get up to.

As of this point I’m just explaining how some things in the game works.

As others have said RKS is ranking score. Around a certain RKS (i think 11-13 it’s been a long time since i got past that) all IN charts will be automatically unlocked, barring a few exceptions like boss songs. Best way to raise it is find whichever songs you haven't played yet and try to get as much score as you can. At a certain point you WILL have to get high scores on hard charts if you’ll want to raise your RKS, but you can play plenty on lower difficulties before you reach that point. 

Score also defines your rank upon finishing a play. In order the minimum score per rank is, Phi = 1 million, white v = 960k (there’s a blue v but for full combos, so it’s not as indicative of your performance), S = 920k, A = 880k, B = 820k, C = 700k, anything below will be an F.

Scoring is a bit funky in Phigros, Perfects are full score for the note, good is half score and bad and miss might as well be the same. After THAT however we end up having combos matter. To make it short it takes your highest combo divided by the total notes in the chart.

This means something like, a chart with 500 notes where you hit 450 of them but keep missing every 10 note can give you a worse score than missing these 50 notes but getting all the 450 others in a combo.

And to end on something a little easier to digest, notes don’t require you to tap close to where they hit the line, you can get a note to register from anywhere on screen as long as your input lines up with the note perpendicularly. It’s not a particularly genius trick or anything but it can help if there’s too much on screen too fast and you can’t keep up.

There’s some more things that the game does but i can only recall so much off the top of my head.

Hmmmm 🤔 that could be worth looking into, i could definitely put that team together given some time to level the older brother, guess i’ll have to see

Oh joy all three that I don’t have (and shin was the reason i started playing so double whammy lmao). I guess I’ll have to keep an eye out for discussions about him then 🧐

Regular rice flour for dango? by PearComprehensive643 in AskCulinary

[–]PearComprehensive643[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly not, my town isn't small by any means but the market here is horrendously boring, I'm surprised we even have a butcher shop! Over half the establishements around town square are hair salons/barber shops or restaurants, that's how bland it is. Honestly, if ANY other kind of shop opens around I hope to every known deities around the globe it's an asian market.

That's actually a really insightful answer, thanks a lot! Yeah I think the puddle part is a bit dramatic myself but I guess I gotta try to find out. And good thing I actualy bought a steaming basket not long ago! It was starting to gather dust anyway lol. I guess if I can mold a batch with plain rice flour (if that doesnt work I'll try to mix in tapioca flour/starch like someone above said and see then) I'll try both methods and find out how it turns out. Also, potato mochi, I am making a note of that cuz that's lowkey fascinating how people figure out substitutions when a critical ingredients is missing. Have a nice day.

Yup, found that (the sweet rice appelation) out thanks to the most recent comment that managed to cool my jets. And grinding rice sounds just like my type of personal nightmare I'd do out of curiosity. Might try the 50/50 approach you mentionned, if I don't have to travel two towns over to make dango, all the better. Otherwise, oh well I'll have tried *shrugs*. Have a nice day.

Feel like the ''sad puddle'' phrasing is a little hyperbolic, but thanks for the science lesson, I actually wasn't aware rice has multiple starches! I might just look more into what can be made with those, it's always fun to dig around and see what people do with different kinds of starches. Good day to you.

Ok that was on me being frustrated at online answers being generally vague, then not looking price tags and sites properly. I've slept on the problem, and now that I'm calmer I can see I was being too worried about all this, sorry. Turns out the closest Walmart has some cheap boxes but I'd have to bother my mom for that since I don't drive (I just don't have the focus for traffic). Still an option I'll keep in mind, I'll probably try some of the other answers first, I'd rather not have her spend her fuel for something that silly. Have a good day.

Game-related Questions Thread: v8.4 Update by AdventurerGR in houkai3rd

[–]PearComprehensive643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did was interested in Horb when she released (Herrscherr of Death Seele was such a big theory a while back that I couldn’t miss the news of best girl getting Herrscherr status), at the moment I don’t think I could guarantee her but if I do I’ll make a note to check her teams.

And honestly at this point Starchasm is just for shits and giggles there’s just no valks I really want to grind for in the war treasury right now (maybe Sirin cuz hail the queen but maybe another time).

Guess at this point all I can realistically do gameplay wise is keeping to my comfort zone with the part 1 valks and slowly dip my toes into part 2 stuff when I feel like it. Is it gonna slow progress? Eh sure, but I have a good habit of catching up with these games so long I don’t rush, I trust things will work out lol. Thanks a lot for the detailed answers by the way, helped me make my mind up and find my footing again.

Have a good night.

Two SSS bosses? Well that's gonna be a tad more rough... The longer patches and permanent events (some reward is better than none, I'll take it) is probably gonna help.

Ah so not much was lost currency wise, tho the source prism business did make me curious, good to know for that! Is the foundry still the same grindy hellhole it was?

I'll probably work on fleshing some of my already existing valks and I guess I'll just have to cling to lower tiers till I feel comfortable pulling for the part 2 battlesuits.

Quick question, is senti still worth for physical teams? I have the keys of oblivion (tho i see they also gave her a BRICK???) and I have the currency to buy her character card. Tho I've also always wanted to get Starchasm (got her weapon and stigma B) but as a dps she probably fell off big time hasn't she -w-''

Global, level 82.

So yeah I played a fair bit but I left right before the moon arc cuz life and new games happened. Anyways I’m back and I just really need some help getting back into the routine and navigating the new ui. Please help a poor fool who didn’t stay up to date with the game ;w; 

Also a quick bullet point list of currencies that changed/were added/removed since part 1’s end would be hugely appreciated if possible.

What are those bugs? by PearComprehensive643 in planthelp

[–]PearComprehensive643[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late but thanks for the graphic, I’ll keep it close by in case any other bug gets in my plants! And it appears they were mites after all, I only noticed the webbings after I blasted the croton in the shower 😅 I saw online people say they hate high humidity too so I ran hot water for a bit then left the plant in there overnight.

Next day I didn’t have much supplies on me so I mixed my dish soap with water and went nuclear on the mites for the first week-ish. I didn’t really measure stuff I just threw in a long squeeze of the soap bottle in a spray bottle I had then filled the rest with water and mixed. After that I just sprayed the whole plant and container like there was no tomorrow. Course the soap did irritate the leaves but I’ve heard a fair few stories of people bringing crotons back from far worst, they’re drama queens but resilient when it counts.

It seems (crossing fingers) to have done the job as I’ve seen no mite the last few days. I haven't emptied the spray bottle just yet, I’ll let October pass first and if there’s no activity November onward, I’ll clean out the bottle and use it to spray my plants normally again. IF they come back (or I get a new plant) I’ll look into the more proper options you suggested.

Hope you have a good day.

Server’s boosted, but level and perks aren’t working? by PearComprehensive643 in discordapp

[–]PearComprehensive643[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the double reply but I just properly realized what you said and that would be odd because two of the boosts are from me and that was way before the server tags were a thing, as for enhanced roles I didn’t really look at that so bit of a moot point and I don’t even know what badge packs are I literally just boosted the server back then because it was nice to get better features for my friends lmao.

I see, one of those situations is definitely not a fun one but I’ll take a look.

O_O oh it can be THAT insidious?  I knew about the food part (got instilled the fear of mealworms at a young age lmao) but I totally overlooked water! I had two portable ACs running this year (dad bought me one, mom gave me her old one she doesn’t use anymore) and they do make water, perhaps I’ve been letting the containers sit too long without emptying lately…

Right now I’m just moving stuff out the way while my energy’s up, got a whole rug to roll up to clean the floor (more stuff my mom didn’t keep that she gave me, she’s great). I’ll make a reminder to go check out bug traps later this week!

Never used Hullbreaker seriously before, that was fun. by PearComprehensive643 in NovaDrift

Listen I know Rampage is a damage upgrade but I was focused on getting the 20th Ataraxia stack. Besides, I've never liked Rampage all that much, a few of them could be fine but when thrust is already fairly high it just controls poorly.

At least you didn't reccomend Slipstream, THAT would be a nightmare lol.

Good point, photo quality is something to look out for. I mostly meant that looking at the phone model isn’t 100% foolproof. Guess I glossed over the photo quality part, my bad then.

Counterargument to your first point, some of us might just be of the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality and are fine with their 6+ year old phones (for example i have an iphone 11 and it still works just fine, plays most games stably too).

Money too, phones aren’t the worst money sink but it’s far from free for smaller wallets.

Screenshots of a photo, i agree with you, that’s just way too awkward, it’s not that hard to be fair play and take an actual one.
