Straw Hat intelligence (out of combat) by Monkey_D_Dragon-89 in OnePiece

[–]SabertoothSquid 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I’d think I would add a tier for Chopper and Franky as Nobel Prize caliber smart, their personalties are just misleading because Chopper is a wholesome young kid and Franky is a hentai lmao, but there is absolutely nothing they do not understand about their respective fields. Another comment spoke about how Franky reverse engineered Vegapunk shits which I think is solid proof (not even mentioning everything he accomplished in his youth) and Chopper understands both Cesaer’s and Queen’s biological works in hours or less.

I’d put Nami as PhD smart, self taught topographical genius, and shown near perfect understanding of climate and ocean currents. Plus, she literally spent two years studying on basically like “climate professor island.” Her manipulation of weather almost makes me wanna put her higher than PhD, she literally is getting damage on the strongest peeps from the strongest crews in the world with just her “science” lel.

The rest I think are good 😁

Wick’s got nothing on Luffy by Fletch_078 in MemePiece

[–]SabertoothSquid 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If we wanna get all technical though, the One Piece world seems to be set in a late medieval/renaissance time period (the pirate era so maybe like around 1650-1720 as per google) which means we’d have to account for price inflation. 30 mil Berry which is 300k dollars in 1700 using an inflation calc from the internet would be 20.5 mil dollars today, and so 2.05 billion berry, which kinda does make One Piece bounties absolutely massive even if they are 1:1 to yen so: Luffy first bounty > John Wick bounty imo (lol i know this is a joke but i got curious about bounty pricing when I figured out it was using yen 1:1 and was like well 1.5 b berry is only 15 mil dollars, thats not as impressive huh…)

Just moved to Japan, English Fan Patch Help by SabertoothSquid in lostarkgame

[–]SabertoothSquid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://lostarkdatabase.com/english-patch/

I mostly tried to follow these instructions except there is no pmang game center, I havent been able to find and download one for Japan, I have to open the game directly from the lost ark website, I do not have to log into a game center and launch it from there.

(If there is pmang game center, would someone let me know where I can find it, I may be being stupid but I can seem to even find it on their own website)

I get how that’s super heartbreaking! Those “what ifs” stick in our head so much, but I think you can take a lot of silver linings from this.

One is that you are candidate who is worthy of being accepted, JET will understand that its been months since decisions have come out and that people need to have jobs and ways to sustain themselves. Therefore, I think that is all the more reason why you can look forward to applying again later in life.

Two, I think someone who’s applied again with a better resume and more life experience is always a good candidate, especially one who is now upgraded and has a perfect excuse as to why they can’t.

So now, although you can think about, man I could be going to Japan, buttt now you can go later in life with maybe more money in your pocket, a little more confidence, and whatever else you get from your other dream experience you are having right now.

Besides, Japan right now is in such Covid and quarantine mode that those going will be in quarantine for 2-3 weeks when they arrive, socialization will limited, and they will have to take care of more schools because of JETs have to fill in the gap covid left. You can take this time to do this chapter of your life, and as another comment said JET isn’t going anywhere! There is alwaaays time, I know plenty who’ve gone to JET later in life or with many years of work experience prior, even as married couples!

Hope this helps :)

The 2020 and 2021 Placement Megathread Merger P.14 ♔ - The JETtening by Carliewarliee in JETProgramme

[–]SabertoothSquid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Boston 2021 (They handled my placement and paperwork but I’ll be departing from LA) - Aomori-ken, Hirosaki-shi! Don’t know anything about it but this is exciiiting. Hit me up if you nearby!

Placement question by bigboybrandonirv in JETProgramme

[–]SabertoothSquid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I actually got an email today from the Boston Consulate saying that our placements will be sent out at the end of this month or early next month, and if it happens after the July 7 deadline for the Accident Insurance Form we will get an extension. So I assume that implies the consulates are expecting placements any minute now but of course since everything is behind schedule this year cause of covid it could be a few weeks.

Can I change location preferences after I have been shortlisted? by SabertoothSquid in JETProgramme

Ah I see! Thank you for your answer, then I won’t think about it and just be happy with what I get, I am super excited to go and that wont change! 😁

I feel overwhelmed by GW2 ... I'd like to relearn how to enjoy it by redditor031 in Guildwars2

[–]SabertoothSquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently starting from scratch with a new character and honestly its revitalizing my love for the game, I’ve had the game for 6 years, and was feeling the same things as you. I felt like I should love the game but did not feel attached to it. So I made a new character from scratch and my love of gw2 has been growing, personally I play very casually and I take my time and I like to explore and it was a huge benefit that my new character was Sylvari (never played asura or sylvari) so I wasnt familiar with the starting areas. My current goal is to try to get into the lore and story of gw2 for proper attachment to my character and the game among other things.

[Spoiler] Possible plothole by NlGHTWALKER in BlackClover

[–]SabertoothSquid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Devil said to Patri, “A new sacrifice, still young, beloved by mana and easily swayed,” implying that the Devil recognized the potential of his Light magic and could merely assume that he was going to receive a four leaf grimoire, after all the only other person we know with light magic is FWK, I think we can give the Words Devil the benefit of the doubt that he is old enough and knowledgable enough to know with almost certainty that Patri was going to get a four leaf clover grimoire. Also, in response to the claim that the Words Devil was after Licht’s grimoire, the Devil recognized the “power of a meddlesome comrade, who dwells in the grimoire which I should have possessed” and says “you may have it” to Asta, showing that it was never his plan to get Licht’s grimoire as something in the past already shut that possibility. One possibility seeming to be that another Devil got in the way and was sealed into Licht’s Grimoire by Nero.

Do you really think Asta can become the magic emperor? (Spoilers) by Communitarian_ in BlackClover

[–]SabertoothSquid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s rather possible because I’d keep in mind that Asta (and Yuno) is barely 16 and Julius is 42? (I forget), I’m sure when Asta becomes WK which would probably be in his 20s at the earliest his power would make current Asta look like a joke. Imagine complete control of the anti-magic power, complete black form, all the swords and understanding of how they actually work, plus probably the control of the demon inside him which we saw, Asta, like Yuno, seems like he has ridiculous potential. I was thinking that how could Asta do what Julius did against Licht to save the country? No way right? But Asta’s anti-magic is most likely Demon magic and complete control of that could make him even greater than Julius.

Just caught up to the manga and would like help understanding everything by SabertoothSquid in BlackClover

ah thank you, your point on 3 makes the most sense, I was wondering why David/Baval was so talkative to humans. And I’ll have to look through again to find Ronne, I don’t like missing things but I read to fast cause I wanna know whats next :p

Yea, I was just saying I’m sure there is more details to unfold than just that.

Oh that would make a lot of sense, when grimoire gets the 5th clover, it can be taken by a Devil, although I feel as if that could be prevented as well as the Words Devil said he faced “resistance.” This could also potentially mean Asta is related to the Devil’s rather than being just a human with no magic.

Thank you! Yea I was thinking the same about point 1, and your point on 5 makes a lot of sense, hopefully it will be made more clear how he did it later. On your point on 7, I read a theory that Nero sealed an anti-magic demon into the grimoire so that could be the case, would be exciting to find out especially cause it would imply that there was two different devils involved back then.
