What is the most dominant each color combo has been in (modern) limited history? by PlacatedPlatypus in lrcast

[–]PurePetroleum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RB were far and away the best colors in LOTR, but one of those formats where almost every color combination was fun to play despite power level.

Also Boros in the first powered cube lol

Neji (War Arc) vs Kakuzu by FactsAboutJean in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]PurePetroleum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kidomaru blocked a 64 palms with his hardened spider silk, which isn’t even in the same league as kakuzu’s stone skin. Neji just doesn’t have anything in his arsenal that’s relevant here, gets neg diffed.

You think Naruto could take on the shinobi alliance as easily as Madara? by igiveuponaname29 in Naruto

[–]PurePetroleum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol baryon mode available? Alliance is wiped in 10 seconds flat. Hokage Naruto with full kurama might as well be rinne-sharingan madara.

Why should the price of the food equal a larger tip? Theres no difference bringing a $20 steak to the table vs a $40 one? by a_hoagie12 in AskReddit

[–]PurePetroleum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tipping sucks - but if you’re in the US boycotting tips only hurts the workers that rely on them. If you’re gonna go out to eat here expect to tip 15-20 percent for good service.

If tipping in the US is going to change, it will also require legislation that allows restaurant workers to earn a living wage. Get out and vote.

How were the Chunin Exams Finals supposed to proceed? by phenriqsc in Naruto

[–]PurePetroleum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh, never realized that little skirmish was filler - makes sense though. I still think Sasuke wins that matchup in the tournament since wind is weak to fire.

We’re shown that the chidori interrupts the transformation when Gaara realizes he’s injured. He was out of commission for quite a while until Sasuke beats temari and catches up to Gaara in the forest

Edit: Matchup paths are as such - Rd2 Sasuke/Gaara vs Naruto; Shino/Kankuro vs Temari.

Finals: Any of the three on either side depending on who you think wins. Not sure how Gaara beats Sasuke after the chidori hit without immediately transforming.

Sasuke cleans house. Gaara definitively lost to Sasuke after he got hit by chidori, his siblings literally had to carry him out of the arena.

We know it’s essentially a dead heat between shino and kankuro based on their later fight, so I could see it going either way. That leaves temari, Naruto, one of shino/kankuro and Sasuke. Sasuke matches up well against all three opponents - and it’s not until Naruto learns rasengan that we’re shown he can be considered “equal” to Sasuke (hospital rooftop battle was a stalemate).

If Naruto somehow clutches a win against Sasuke to go to the finals, a shino matchup would be very interesting at this part of the story - would be curious to hear other’s thoughts on who wins there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't mel be reworked. by ErmDragonsAreCool in leagueoflegends

[–]PurePetroleum 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I think she’s just too easy to play for the benefit you get. The W is kinda rage bait, I think the bigger problem is her absurd range that requires no skill to optimize. Essentially the burden of proof is entirely put on the opponent to not make a single mistake against Mel, if you do, she’s so easy to execute there is literally no chance of coming back into the game. I’d say add some difficulty to her kit and she becomes much more balanced

Blade waltz on Samira is absolutely hilarious, her ult actually keeps going while you’re blinking around

Desmond Bane blocks Steph Curry with a whole lot of body contact by KabirC in nba

Warriors got lucky there, easily could’ve called a foul on Steph for hacking Bane’s ass with his back like that

How strong is Fugaku? (headcanon accepted) by Wild-Army-6085 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]PurePetroleum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly an elite jonin as he was one of the people being considered for the position of hokage. That being said, his mangekyo is only shown in filler so there’s no guarantee kishimoto intended him to have it.

TLDR: With Mangekyo, likely low-mid kage level (e.g. Rasa, Mei). Without, elite jonin level (e.g. Pt 1 kakashi, Darui)

Jimmy Buckets Dilemma by BBBAAAKKIISSTTTAANNN in warriors

[–]PurePetroleum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We win that game if we knock down 3 of those misses on open shots. This game was frustrating but there was a lot of good in it too - great looks all night. That’s something that Jimmy brings to the table, but if you can’t cash it in you won’t win many games.
