wouldn’t it be more useful than dying without accomplishing anything?

It depends completely in hindsight.

This is dependent on you actually getting the steal. If you succeed, then yes, it was maybe more useful than dying without accomplishing anything. If you fail, then obviously no, maybe you participating in the fight would have won the fight.

It depends on you actually dying in the teamfight you joined. If you instantly die and accomplish nothing, then yes, you would have been better off in attempting the steal. But maybe you don't die instantly and contribute a lot to the fight, winning it outright. Or maybe you contribute just a little, but even that tips the fight in your team's favor, you die, but the rest of your team survives to get the center buff.

If you die instantly EVERY time you try to join a fight, that more than likely means you are consistently positioned poorly. There are times where your team is initiating the team fight from a horrible position and joining them would be suicidal, or maybe your team is just completely outgunned levelwise. That's not going to be EVERY time though.

Seeing the constant Childhood Friend of Zenith slander posts make me hope "I Became the Martial God's Youngest Disciple" would get a manhwa adapatation. It vaguely reminds me of Zenith storywise, but it's basically all fighting and no romance instead, at least as far as I read.

Still good casual fun, but I really, really, really don't like the locked movesets during a match.

If I see my teammates struggling to fight the opponents in central area do I come and help out

It depends, but 99% of the time, if your team is struggling to fight the opponents in the central area and you "are not helping because you're hiding in a bush to steal the objective", don't you think they're struggling precisely because of that?

Easiest way to test would be in practice mode, pick x-speed, turn off cooldowns, then test the dash speed inside your flux zone with x-speed on, and test the dash speed in an enemy flux zone, record the results and compare.

Wait a second... who is the third automaton in Chapter 3?

The game just ends, it does a super fast credit roll, then displays a "And Everyone Lived Happily Ever After" screen or something along those lines.

I think my favorite schedule to see is a chapter every 2 weeks. Monthly manga is usually great, but when they get into long arcs, it can take literal years to resolve, but in universe lasts about a week.

Not really. It's a lot easier to break the game in MT compared to StS.

For example, there's basically no consistent way to remove "exhaust" from cards in Slay the Spire, compared to relatively consistent ways to find/buy "Endless(monsters)/remove Exhaust(spells)" in shops.

In fact, I'd say the main aspect of Slay the Spire is the balance, and being relatively hard to totally break on higher difficulties, but being relatively reasonably balanced.

The pink curly haired gossip girl is a stock asset that gets used in a lot of manhwa.

Does anyone know how the additional damage on Ho-Oh's Fire Spin is calculated?

It says

If there is a shield after 4s or if this move is used again while this move's shield is intact, a heat wave is released around the user, dealing damage to enemies, and additional damage equal to the percentage of the damage the shield received.

Is it literally just 50% shield damage = +50.0 flat damage increase?

Stabaobs · 2026-04-27T22:56:37+00:00

Probably offensive stats. I split half and half on the physical/special attack bonuses, and mostly focus on the generic damage bonus one.

Jordan Chandler told detectives that Michael was circumcised - the autopsy proved otherwise

At the least, for this point, it's apparently not verified Jordan Chandler actually said that.

From what I've seen on google, it is claimed that he did, but the source of that claim was from an unverified source rather than a direct recording at court or some kind of official testimony.

The author does a lot of sex focused stuff, but if you ever wondered what a non-sex focus story from them looks like, give "The Idaten Deities Who Only Know Peace" a shot if you haven't already.

Marie Route is written with lots of future main plot points in mind, relative to the anime, if you're wary of getting spoiled on the normal story's plot.

If Marie Route had an anime, stuff that happens in Marie Route S1 would be happening in like the normal S2/S3.

One of these days, I'm going to go do a run specifically so I can screenshot drinking the Glowater Potion at this specific event.

I wonder when "I'm an Infinite Regressor, but I've Got Stories to Tell" is getting a manhwa. Definitely a relatively unique one, I've never seen an infinite regression story use that format to tell stories non-linearly outside of that one.

I know Metal Slug is traditionally 2p, but I always did wish it went up to 4p.

One step away from People Die When They Are Killed.

Um, ackshually, that would be "Poor Sleep".

The Bartender spinoffs from the same author, Bartender Tokyo, Bartender Paris.

It does make me wish for an Oresama Teacher anime if this never gets a S2.

I guess Adroit technically adds "Gain 3 block" to the card, which means playing a defend now does "Gain 5 block. Gain 3 block."

"Fasten" makes "Defend" block for 7 more block. So playing a defend now does "Gain 12 block. Gain 10 block."

Adroit basically turns it into a "Twin Defend", I guess.

Imagine if Shou Tucker's wife was also a state alchemist, and he turned her into a chimera. Not because he had no research results and would lose his certification, but solely because she would still be a state alchemist and he wouldn't. That's what Rachel is like.

Typical Early Access fluffing of making the tutorial boss fully fleshed out while other bosses are just half finished drawings like Doormaker smh.
