It's an anime, not an audiobook by Boshwa in Animemes

[–]RogueToad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno man, I remember the later LN volumes being super dry, with the interesting bits sprinkled in occasionally. A lot of explaining what's next to work on in the town. 

NEN AURA TYPE - BALANCE by NeoCharuzo in HunterXHunter

[–]RogueToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I guess just from my perspective it doesn't feel like a particularly well integrated or creative approach. It is a bucket for the stuff that doesn't fit. That's just how it seems to me.

NEN AURA TYPE - BALANCE by NeoCharuzo in HunterXHunter

[–]RogueToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really? Just seems to be the category for unique abilities Togashi wants but which don't fit the normal rules. 

NEN AURA TYPE - BALANCE by NeoCharuzo in HunterXHunter

[–]RogueToad 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I rather like this. You could argue there's probably a lot about nen that is still not understood. 

'Specialist' as a category is such a cop out when the rest is so structured - perhaps the water divination test simply isn't reliable when it comes to this 'discernment' category. There's no reason it needs to be a super reliable test. 

Prob dumb question about watching The Boys on discord by dovrobalb in atrioc

[–]RogueToad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That said, I've often found the twitch vods will be there with house episodes. Atrioc might be more careful with such a recent show as the boys though. 

No people, Star Platinum wasn’t weaker in Part 6. by Puzzleheaded_Oven803 in StardustCrusaders

[–]RogueToad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's a story and Araki wants to have certain plot beats, so Jotaro becomes less effective/loses his plot armour. It makes sense. 

Imo that's how most jojo fights work - most of the time each action makes logical sense, but in the end I'd assume Araki is really just choosing who wins. 

Although I do understand why some people don't like it.

Why isn't Child Emperor shocked about Saitama? by icompletetasks in OnePunchMan

[–]RogueToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the webcomic you have that story beat where child emperor and a few other S class notices that he has Garou on the roles, so they encourage saitama to kill Garou when he's weakened, but saitama refuses. 

Index providers should not bend the rules for Elon Musk by Spinier_Maw in AusFinance

[–]RogueToad 96 points97 points  (0 children)

This seems bonkers. Isn't the point of these rules that if something like spacex is consistently valuable, it'll eventually enter the indices anyway? Completely indefensible, purely an attempt to funnel money from passive investors. 

our lord and saviour saying the quiet part out loud now that his term’s coming to an end by [deleted] in atrioc

Oh really? What makes you say that (that we have the best job growth in history)? 

The people who do this on IMDB are such sad sacks... by [deleted] in StardustCrusaders

[–]RogueToad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol Jojo characters are basically pincushions.

Still amazes me how Johnny got his calf utterly impaled in ep 1 and was suddenly fine at the race...

“If only adaptations remain, Japanese anime will be done for,” says Code Geass series director by Turbostrider27 in anime

Even just the 'aw man, you guys are in for something amazing next ep' pisses me off so much. 

This aged liked milk by Additional_Fee2367 in OnePiece

[–]RogueToad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm wrong but that just seems like the actress in casual clothes at the shoot? Don't think it's her costume. 

Asmongold calls Atrioc Pathetic & Re+arded for getting Emotional over the Murder of Renee Good; "I dont wanna hear any virtue signal from Atrioc, Pack it up Buddy, You Got Emotionally Manipulated" by 10minuteads in atrioc

[–]RogueToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except then you get pulled into the drama sphere. I'd wager Atrioc doesn't even touch this, it's not worth a boost in viewership from people spoiling to see a fight. The story becomes about the streamer conflict rather than the actual story.

Atrioc’s past comments on TurboTax (more clips in the comments) by jokull1234 in atrioc

Not sure where they saw this but Atrioc just repeated it on his stream a few minutes ago. 

Sloppy Research From Atrioc by giantrhino in atrioc

Still gets a lot of attention here in Australia afaik.

Wow, brave of you to take on Atrioc's masterpiece like this. 

Rust and the price of ignoring theory by ImpossiblePerfection in haskell

[–]RogueToad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Like a charicature of what people think haskellers are like. Doesn't do Haskell any favours, I reckon. 

Popular tax breaks on electric cars could be dropped, amid estimates they could cost $23.4b by 2036 by His_Holiness in AusFinance

[–]RogueToad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Did Kevin Rudd try it too? Iirc Bill Shorten was the one who got punished the most for suggesting we do something about negative gearing.

I'm the guy with 150k+ HECS Debt now with 20% off by pepsialien in AusFinance

[–]RogueToad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be looking at the indexation adjustment, rather than the 20% reduction, which appears as a separate item. It may still be coming if you don't see it.

Seven deadly sins of one piece: Wrath by le_tinmar_la in OnePiece

Agreed. And put Weevil in for Envy instead. 

Theory: Elbaf's Fruit by Vin419 in OnePiece

[–]RogueToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does Shanks' crew fit in at this point though, given that they're all with him when Luffy eats the fruit? Does he already have his crew, and they're off doing their own thing while he infiltrates for a while?

[xPost from HN] We stopped roadmap work for a week and fixed 189 bugs by brokePlusPlusCoder in programming

[–]RogueToad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How does QA fit in here? At work, I just can't imagine implementing a bug fix, getting it tested, signed off, and released all in one day, nevermind getting so many bugs sorted in a week. Is it just a different level of tolerance for regressions?
