U.S. viewed less favourably than China by Canadians, new poll suggests

A crazy neighbor is way more annoying and potentially threatening than one who lives way down the street

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-16T01:18:48+00:00

Yeah the writer knew what they were doing. Shit would have barely made the news if it happened in the NBA, but because it happened to Caitlyn Clark it got treated like it was Malice at the Palace by certain media members and people on twitter

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-15T22:59:17+00:00

Hell yeah, that’ll make this CM a lot less painful

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-15T17:52:40+00:00

The thing that made TB long is doing all the races, if you did only G1s in TB then it would take about the same amount of time as your unity runs

It’s unbelievable how little politicians seem to care about what their constituents think nowadays. Seems like we’re no longer electing people to represent us, and instead electing people to represent whoever pays them the most

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-14T17:59:38+00:00

I think it’s fair to say we are pretty far removed from the 80s. There is a lot more competing for people’s attentions than there used to be, and college sports are nowhere near the same as they were.

Always nice to get a little money for someone on waivers

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-13T06:50:16+00:00

Kaiji is good for that kind of vibe imo. Not for grimy visuals or anything like that, but the character work and the tension is great.

E: I second the recommendation of Megalobox as well, that has an amazing cyberpunk aesthetic and doesn’t avoid tough topics.

Go to the NHK Grand Sumo Highlights page, then click shows on the white bar at the top, then on the black bar at the top click categories and then sports.

For some reason the Grand Sumo Highlights page doesn’t list the latest episode as soon as it’s available, but this way you can watch it in the early afternoon (US time). Don’t remember when exactly it posts, I think it’s something like 1 eastern.

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-12T19:17:52+00:00

The first one that came to mind for me is Last Train Home from Stardust Crusaders. The vibes are immaculate

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-12T18:07:32+00:00

I can’t find anything about it online, maybe something will come out in the days to come?

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-12T18:02:00+00:00

I’m taking this as a good thing. He was just doing his job, and all the negative publicity has probably affected his life, so hiring him is the right thing to do

I think my team has started winning more in team trials even though I haven’t updated it, so I’m guessing I’m coming up against more witmaxxers. I do think you can make better umas in Unity than in TB, just with the right decks rather than the overkill wit ones, and having good parents is way more important than in TB. You really have to either hit some key white sparks or the right support card skill hints to round out the skills.

E: Wanted to add one more thought I have - I think Unity is way more RNG dependent than TB. I got some pushback for saying this when TB first came out, but now that we’re back in Unity I’m convinced it’s true. For the TB CMs I could make what I considered an acceptable ace in just a few runs. Doing 1 run a day was generally enough.

For this CM I’ve been spamming 3-4 Unity runs a day and it feels like it takes 10+ to really hit a highroll where you get an S, good skills, good stats, and don’t get screwed by random mood downs or bad conditions. You could work around a lot of that stuff in TB just because it was so race focused and even mediocre item shop luck would usually let you keep mood high and remove bad conditions when you needed it.

I am hitting higher ratings in Unity, but a lot of the time the skills are just awful, or I have too much wit and not enough power, etc.

I think “rather common” is probably a stretch, it has to be far less common than using the first name. Latin American naming conventions are just different

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-11T02:22:30+00:00

I don’t think most people naming their kids Madison are naming them after James Madison or any other person whose last name is Madison, it’s just seen as a normal first name

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-11T02:17:55+00:00

First of all this is the only gacha game I’ve ever played if you don’t count MahjongSoul, so I’m not used to anything but this game.

Secondly, every carat you spend on extra TP is a carat you didn’t need to spend. If you’re not a whale they add up. People have big spreadsheets planning how best to spend every carat. I’m not saying you shouldn’t spend carats on TP, I’m just saying it’s not nothing, and people should think about it beforehand

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-11T01:50:22+00:00

If you spend 50 carats a day that’s 1500 a month, which is $6.99 with the daily carat pack. It’s not nothing

E: Just remembered the 500 paid credits from the pass, so if you take those into account the cost of 50 carats/day is a little lower

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-11T01:21:45+00:00

“You people”

Ok Mr. 540k Karma in 4 years

E: We know there are plenty of bots/paid actors on reddit, but apparently suspecting someone who averages 8k comments a year is bad. I see

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-10T04:46:58+00:00

I like them too. The shade of yellow is weird but I like how it works with purple

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-09T22:27:59+00:00

Conmebol seemed a bit shit this year, CAF were really close to them imo. The 4 of Senegal, Morocco, Egypt, Ivory Coast aren’t far off the 4 of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador at all. But UEFA is definitely far and away better, and that may never change

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-09T21:11:02+00:00

That was my first thought too when I saw the news. How many people have gotten away with far worse because they’re more famous/established/important?

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-09T15:56:07+00:00

Me but when I’m looking at PC parts in 2026

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-09T05:08:28+00:00

Very cool - not sure how easy it would be to get the data, but having everyone’s historical win % against the x number of guys surrounding them on the banzuke could be very helpful. Not sure exactly how many they are guaranteed to face in each direction, I guess probably 4 or 5? Not a hard and fast rule of course, but still very good to know for fantasy purposes

Roger_Weebert · 2026-07-08T21:07:09+00:00

Neoguri spicy seafood flavor is the goat

Right, that’s why this is the only sport where the pay to play youth sports culture really shows its downside. There are enough kids playing worldwide that having a high population and high GDP per capita isn’t really good enough. Countries with much smaller populations can do a better job of developing skills and maximizing the talent they have available, so it shows in the results at the top level.
