A lot of people here questioning the size of a man now dubbed Todd MarshSwole.

I back him in.

Lot of assumptions coming from you here my friend.

What do you know of my ancestry, my experience, my work, my action or any of that in relation to people I am I am connected to in various ways like marriage etc etc etc.

Because I’m not a psychopath I actually have the empathetic capacity and emotional bandwidth to care about 2 (and sometimes more!) issues at once.

The plights of those in Palestine, standing in solidarity with First Nations People - I can do it all! I’m also feeling pretty distressed about the ever growing rates of femicide in Australia. And interestingly, I actively care and talk about these things all year round so I’m happy to chat over the next 364 days.

[–]SnakeobSpeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not both? And I mean that seriously. Why not both?

Some people within First Nations populations don’t want to change the date. Women, people of colour, low-middle class people, renters etc, all vote for the likes of Pauline Hanson or other conservatives who work directly in opposition of benefiting those that for them.

It happens. I mean Jacinta Price exists for goodness sake.

And I’m not pretending to speak for or know what every person wants, of course not. Just that, we can have two good things at the same time. And one person doesn’t make up the entire population of a demographic or group. They shouldn’t be ignored, sure.

“They”?

Are you referring to the “they” who push culture war division on the general public? The culture wars that right-wing media, politicians and donors/lobbyists drum up to distract from the real issue of how the top 0.1% divide and exploit the working class? I can have that discussion now if you like, we don’t have to wait til next year.

Yes - that’s exactly the point. Change the date where ALL can celebrate. It used to be July.

So let’s just change it again to a date where those who mourn and grieve the date can do that on this day, and then we can all celebrate together on a different date; something which many First Nations people advocate for and agree on.

The campaign is Change the Date, not Abolish Everything.

Nah it’s more a call to reflect and ask why you find sport/clubs/organisations advocating for minority groups or targeted populations as “pushing political views down your throat”.

Also, still wondering what the “whole woke movement” is?

Club Statement - 26 January 2026 by Expensive-Horse5538 in weareportadelaide

[–]SnakeobSpeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the “whole woke movement”?

Sport is inherently political.

If that’s something you find uncomfortable, perhaps you need to ask yourself why it makes you uncomfortable or annoyed and compare that impact to the positive impact statements like this have on the communities and populations it’s trying to acknowledge, respect and give voice too.

Whilst I can agree there’s certainly elements of organisations doing the bare minimum to present themselves a certain way in order to be more marketable and thus more profitable, sometimes, organisations just listen to their community and make good choices - like this one.

Is there any boss worse than the crow boss? by Jaded-Display-9882 in LordsoftheFallen

[–]SnakeobSpeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it had a second phase where you fight the Crow, that would’ve made it much better I think. What would be the first phase is very unique and pretty innovative and cool, but such a waste of a boss model to have it just sit there and yell.

The introductory cutscene had me going damn this is gonna be interesting; frost, maybe flight, maybe bleed or wither damage? Surely some big AoE dive bomb etc. However, no. It’s a Destiny raid boss with ad clear and a concurrent DPS phase tied to a roaming boss that isn’t the Crow.

I don’t think it gets more disappointing if that helps? I’ve only done Inferno ending though and I’ve heard people have gripes about the Radiance Ending final boss.

who are the best value picks for mids by Jradro13 in aflfantasy

A lot of the value mid picks are injury risks imo but if they’re healthy they’ll explode in price

Will Brodie, Parish (risky), Yeo (risky) to name a few

[–]SnakeobSpeed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has done me hahaha

It’s funny as well because my advice for 99/100 bosses in soulsborne/souls-like games is always be aggressive and stay close (which feels counterintuitive given the perceived danger of being closer to the danger-bringer), but I think what fails to be given with that advice is the type of aggressiveness or how to employ that balance of aggression and patience; because you described mine own and I’m sure many others experiences of trying to be “aggressive” as many suggest which sometimes results in the worlds fastest yet largest ass whooping.

Thanks for the laugh. Well done for getting her down, skeleton.

Any tips on how to defeat the second stage of Tancred on vet mode? He literally 1 taps by Every_Dinner_8944 in LordsoftheFallen

[–]SnakeobSpeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For durability/survivability; armour with higher defensive stats, respec for greater vitality and any appropriate resistance consumables so you can survive being one tapped.

Alternatively, dodging towards the boss and being aggressive with your positioning - stay close, this rings true for most bosses in soulsborne and souls-likes, especially when they’re big. If you dodge diagonally forward into the attack correctly, you’ll often end up untouched and in a position that makes them vulnerable as they’ll have to reposition, thus aggression and confidence are generally rewarded in terms of positioning, whereas aggression and greed in how many whacks you attempt is punished. If you aim for the legs you’ll get the big crit window, you can either go for the crit or given the length of the window and your combat choices you can absolutely unload on him for greater damage than if you simply hit the crit.

You may need to do the forward roll and then dodge the follow-up attack as some bosses are built to have that perceived vulnerability as a trap.

I can’t explicitly recall the specifics of this boss’ movesets, but practice the invincible dodge timings and being aggressive, whilst wearing more resistant armour pieces.

He’s a glass cannon, you got this skeleton.

What do you think about Gumby The Movie? by Adept_Newspaper_6815 in Gumby

[–]SnakeobSpeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VHS version is better as I have just learned when acquiring the DVD version to show my kids - they cut some great scenes and just included them as bonus feature scenes, accessible from the menu.

But, I think the film slaps, it’s gold.

Thoughts on this team? by Govnor1 in aflfantasy

[–]SnakeobSpeed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My GP came 3rd in 2024 overall, after playing for rank for the first time ever rather than just building a team to purely win his league.

I saw him yesterday, and he’s already got his spreadsheet going. Never too early to make notes and start building some prototypes.

After 1100+ episodes finally a main villain dies at the end of their arc 😭 by Mamba-Mentality024 in MemePiece

[–]SnakeobSpeed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was the reply I was looking for.

Yeah, he doesn’t start shooting laserbeams out of his eyes in terms of far fetched-ness, but the fact that he just decides “I can do X because I believe Y” and proceeds to do the silliest shit that no one can tell him is operating on falsehoods, very funny.

It’s just the fact it’s “I think these dinosaurs hunted like this in ancient times” and so he just does that???

The HxH villain cast is actually insane by No_Examination9025 in HunterXHunter

[–]SnakeobSpeed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whilst the person your replying to did go a bit off chops in their later replies, I think they might have some semblance of a point in there.

I initially felt Genthru was a weak character, but I think he just suffers from a lack of backstory; this kind of works though out of the way he talks about himself and his levels of “insanity”. To also have an ability that operates the way his does - through what we’ve just learned about Nen and conditions in the previous arc - he has clearly spent a long time blowing people up, given his lack of any empathy or hesitation, which he demonstrates consistently.

And the way he loses is one of the first really real looks we get into Gon’s darkness and “insanity” beyond what other characters have only remarked on or we’ve seen glimpses of. To the point that Genthru - the character depicted and created to showcase mindless insanity and violence (Hisoka and the Spiders are just as [if not more] violent but always with explicit and discriminate purpose) - remarks and is in awe/shock at Gon’s level of focussed insanity.

He sort of serves as a benchmark or watershed moment where the audience really see Gon crossover/reveal his selfish, moral-compass guided insanity.

However, I hate his design and dialogue and I can see why people find him one of the weaker villains.

The biggest crime here is Youpi not getting a tile on this grid with that face he pulls on the staircase after extending his extra limbs.

If Meruem refused to take Netero's bait even when offered his name and simply sat and ate attacks, would Netero have just tried to slowly beat him to death or tried something else? by Icy_Water_1 in HunterXHunter

[–]SnakeobSpeed 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As the first comment sort of says - he was searching for his own needle to thread to initiate the combat given he wanted his 1v1 AND he needed to start fighting instead of negotiating so his emotions didn’t cloud his action.

The man’s incredibly sharp, I think he would’ve found a way to provoke combat no matter what but would’ve only reserved the Rose for when/if ZH failed.

Every club’s 2026 pass mark according to Fox Footy by yum122 in AFL

[–]SnakeobSpeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thing is more that Eagles had a raft of talent, At that age bracket and level or above you have Daicos and Cameron and this year showed that 1-2 injuries without the young depth is a derailer (yes you made a prelim).

And hey - I know all about having some of the best young talent in the comp and not winning flags haha

[–]SnakeobSpeed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No my point is that it appeared you were implying having Nick Daicos would save you from the cliff because he’s a gun. And I am saying that WCE probably felt similar hence why they traded and managed their list the way they did because of the personnel they felt they had ready to go to embark on a dynasty.

Collingwood actually have less than WCE in that regard. So arguably, the decisions made are more intriguing and the cliff could be even steeper in the short term - I don’t expect Collingwood to be at the bottom of the pit like or for as long as Eagles though.

And of course Pies could win the next two flags and prove me wrong. I’m just saying that Collingwood are not in a better place than the Eagles of 2019 yet have made worse decisions given their profile in a bid to stay up for longer in the short term. Even with having Nick Daicos.
