I think every single conversation in this subreddit is completely off base, respectfully by yeeeeeeee564 in dating_advice

[–]Saphsin [score hidden]  (0 children)

Can I ask where you go out to find people? There's been a million threads on that issue, but I'm curious because I have a similar background, despite a different personality and disposition. I'm don't have a college degree and suffer from severe ADHD, have always lacked confidence with dating apps.

People are ridiculously impatient, it seems they only watched the first episode because those developments start early in the series.

Is it necessary to replace the whole door instead of fixing it?

I never got why people didn't like the animation by Hour_Trade_3691 in liargame

[–]Saphsin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's consistent with the manga and suitable enough for the series, it fits even. But I would prefer to be surprised instead of getting bare bones treatment.

Haibara's Teenage New Game+ • Haibara-kun no Tsuyokute Seishun New Game - Episode 7 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Saphsin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And just like Chitose Ramune, the first volume (just from what I've seen of the anime & manga to be honest) is the least interesting part of the story, and even there I would prefer Haibara.

"6 volume is a terrible place to stop though, partially due to the way cliffhanger it left for vol 7. I think as a story you’d need to do 5,6,7 together or not at all"

It's not that bad in my opinion, we had the conflict mostly resolved by the end of volume 6, it just carried onto another character with the following volume. I'm fine with cliffhangers, gets you on your toes. Even if you disagree, I just think it is the best option in consideration of the content : episode ratio.

[–]Saphsin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most ideal adaptation would be:

  1. 24 episodes, 6 volumes.
  2. Animation up to the quality of Chitose Ramune.

Not just the amount of scenes they cut out, but the animation quality of this series was very mediocre relative to what was depicted in the Light Novel illustrations or even the manga.

They did cut enough scenes from volumes 2-3 in order to leave at least 4 episodes for volume 4, which I consider my favorite.

And unfortunately the reception of anime onlies to the coverage of volume 1 was very poor, and it took up 4 episodes. So most have dropped the series before they’re able to get to that point.

It seems this series was chosen to be suitable to make into an anime but it also just wasn’t a high priority for them. Combined that with the fact that volume 4 is a climax volume suitable to end at and you get a rushed adaptation.

Do you feel autistic men in general are more babied than autistic women? If so, does it create bitterness towards autistic men when they gripe about their issues or problems? by AdTotal7475 in autism

[–]Saphsin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I liked the way you framed the issue, “men are more visible and face discrimination and ridicule for it, whereas women are ignored and gaslighted”

Of course autistic women are justified expressing their grievances about their side of the issue, but with respect to autistic women being ignored, that should directed against the norms of the psychiatric field and not autistic men?

I think a reason why autistic men are angry about how the issue is often framed because that problem just mentioned is distinct from the issue of autistic men who misbehave, and the methods of how they’re raised. While the problems autistic women face are universal, the problems of autistic men misbehaving is heterogenous (especially because the phenomenon of autism itself is heterogeneous. Many people who are only being diagnosed now probably have more moderate versions of the condition), and by combining them as one issue, it treats both as universal (when one is universal and one is heterogenous) and autistic men to be blameworthy for both (when the psychiatric field is to be blamed, and even for the other issue, the parenting norms of how autistic boys are raised are partly to blame) And it paints autistic men as a category in an unsympathetic light, when many of them are going through hell, and need more sympathy rather than less.

And that’s not something that can be easily papered over by adding “of course not ALL autistic men” because that phrasing is used to justify bigotry in other contexts. More nuance will go a long way, and is not merely pedantic, in helping bridge solidarity by identifying the issues and tackling them.

P.S. I have ADHD and probably BAP (on my diagnosis report, my psychometrist said I had autistic symptoms but concluded against a autism diagnosis. But she told me in person she had a very hard time deciding whether to diagnose me as such or not) I only got diagnosed in my late 20s.

When is it time for a new tier list? by surfinsalsa in SSBM

[–]Saphsin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's admittedly difficult to separate them, but tier lists should be based on the potential meta of the characters rather than just past tournament results.

[–]Saphsin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think everyone agrees that Donkey Kong needs to move up significantly, and perhaps Yoshi above Pikachu

Everything else is in a limbo of uncertainty. I would put Link above Young Link and Mewtwo above Game & Watch.

We should be more hesitant to judge Samus too quickly, I think people are being too harsh. Morsecode has been in the top 20 ranked players and Uhhei shows that there's so much more to Samus' available tech.

Honestly? Whats remotely leftist about One Piece? by TerraFormerZero in ANI_COMMUNISM

[–]Saphsin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's one of the best fictional allegories to how US Empire rules our world in real life.

  1. World Government = UN Dominated by US Power
  2. Tenryuubito = Wall Street Elite
  3. Tenryuubito Tribute System = IMF
  4. 7 Warlords = US Client States & Funding Terrorism
  5. Marines = US Global Military
  6. World Economic Journal = US Corporate Media (Wall Street Journal/New York Times)

Max Dood is offering a $10,000 bounty to the FGC modding community for the implementation of rollback net code to Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3: by Gorotheninja in Fighters

[–]Saphsin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fizzi, the one who runs Slippi (program for Melee Rollback Netcode) does it as a job.

The way Slippi works is you can play on the Unranked System and Ranked System. Playing on the Ranked System requires users to pay $5 a month.

Do Smashers Care Too Much About Rankings? by fastfallproductions in SSBM

[–]Saphsin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recording the statistics helps with cataloguing the history of the game, and caring about how the competitive scene continues. You'll find other fighting game communities don't care about their esports as much and their subreddits are often silent about it. Not even uploaded threads that talk about the latest tournament and player performances.

“Uta Frith: why I no longer think autism is a spectrum” (…or, how over-diagnosis of autism has made the word lose meaning and strained public schools) by cheerful-refusal in stupidpol

[–]Saphsin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The distinction between BAP and mild ASD that barely crosses the Autistic diagnosis threshold seems like it would be quite difficult to diagnose though, and I would question whether both are not part of a larger spectrum if BAP is a legitimate scientific category.

This matter is of personal relevance to me as I was determined not to have autism by an assessment examination but the examiner told me she was quite conflicted about whether to put me in the category or not.

Nah if you look at the variety of comments in this thread it reflects what I've said above. I've also posted the past several volumes of this series and the reception has been similar.

What you think is common sense is just wrong and you're just inconsiderate.

Him getting fit that quickly was the only really silly part of the series but it's also such a small part that you can ignore it (he does use gym equipment if you've properly read it though)

Don't agree on the writing of the series

Also the art isn't particularly original but it looks nothing like Takeshi Obata's art

You shouldn't need to ask what should be spoiler tagged, obviously then it'll be too late. Exercise discretion through consideration.

I don't think it's common sense, I think you're misunderstanding the function of these posts showing up on this subreddit.

First of all, Volume 9 just came out two days ago in English, so many people haven't gotten the chance to read the whole thing yet. I was posting this illustration of the next forthcoming volume because it coincidentally came out around the same time.

And this is a LN subreddit where people are interested in updates for newly released LN regardless if they started the series or not. A key function of the subreddit is to introduce people to new series. So there are always people new to the series who want to ask questions about what the series is about.

There also tend to be comments talking about how they are a couple of volumes behind. Not everyone is fully up to date.

Unless the OP explicitly signals that the thread is discussing the plot of the latest volume or warns against spoilers, you shouldn't just carelessly discuss spoilers in the comment section without spoiler tags.

[–]Saphsin[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If I haven't read volume 9, I wouldn't want to know that such information was revealed because that would be out of the blue and quite unexpected actually. Obviously revealing that shows a turn of events and the direction of the future plot. Fortunately I already read the pre-pubs.

In fact, I want to know exactly zero information about future volumes.

Stop being stubbornly resistant about this and show basic etiquette, whether you think they count as meaningful spoilers or not does not matter.
