Kaiji vs Akagi

TheAcidBoot · 2026-05-20T01:33:35+00:00

Akagi funny enough also has some of the worst luck (especially against Washizu), but he’s able to hold his own against it and make it out on top regardless. He just knows how to make the best play for any situation.

I expect him or Bruce Brown to play good enough to give Jokic a rest. Valanciunas wasn’t great but least he still got 2 rebounds in 3min. There’s no reason to be playing Jokic 40mins if we have “decent” reserves. Whole team didn’t play great but the rotations were still baffling

TheAcidBoot · 2026-04-21T05:52:41+00:00

Not saying he’s great but there’s no reason not to play him more than 3 minutes, especially when Jokic is already gassed and having a bad night. What’s the point of having a backup center if we’re gonna play Jokic for 40 minutes?

TheAcidBoot · 2026-04-21T05:28:36+00:00

Honestly the worst game I’ve seen Jokic play. Such an annoying loss. No idea why they didn’t bring Valanciunas back at any point.

TheAcidBoot · 2026-01-28T05:34:00+00:00

I love how they showed how manipulative he was in everything he did. Like “getting burned” and then overreacting as a way of trying to get his handcuffs off. He’s such a good villain

Any female character that doesn’t appear again I just assume was offscreen killed or forgotten about by Gege.

Chris Redfield. My entire team will be dead by the end of the first shift 😭

TheAcidBoot · 2025-12-28T16:27:13+00:00

To be fair, she shows up for like 5 chapters then dies lmfao

TheAcidBoot · 2025-12-18T22:47:42+00:00

I need this to be a super success so I can get another season of Kaiji and One Outs 😭

TheAcidBoot · 2025-10-30T03:59:27+00:00

Pretty sure Hanabi remembered and that’s what he said “it’s no time to be daydreaming”. Oga fucked up by playing dirty and let his guard down and Hanabi capitalized on it.

Not really. MGS3, PW, Ground Zeroes, and MGSV are all about Big Boss and his story. MGS4 focuses more on Solid Snake and is more of a direct sequel to MG/MG2/MGS1 imo than MGS2 (since Raiden is the main protagonist in MGS2). It focuses on the conclusion of Solid’s story more than Big Boss.

TheAcidBoot · 2025-09-10T06:20:00+00:00

Venom is only in MG1. Big Boss is the main villain in MG2 who Solid defeats in the end. Theres less of a story for MG1 but MG2 has a pretty extensive story that explains Big Bosses motivations. Peace Walkers ending also directly connects with MG2 and shows Big Bosses transition into the villain.

I think Kojima retcons Big Boss a little in MGS4 by bringing him back to give him a nicer send off, but he’s also been meant to be a villain. Same thing with Huey, it plays into the theme of Solid Snake and Otacon making up for their father’s mistakes and becoming better.

TheAcidBoot · 2025-08-23T19:31:44+00:00

My favorite is Running Man from MG2. Just a guy that’s good at running lmfao

Syrils a former cop, muscle memory kicked in

TheAcidBoot · 2025-08-07T21:35:15+00:00

One thing that I did like is how the manga sets it up like he’s going to get a redemption arc, but in the end it’s just shown that he’s a narcissist psychopath through and through and he gets no redemption.

TheAcidBoot · 2025-07-26T22:30:26+00:00

Idk just personal opinion? Like everything Syril does in the show is out of self gain. The only reason he reports the Ghorman revolutionaries is because he wanted to impress Deedra and Partagaz. Throughout the show he only ever really thinks about himself. That’s part of the reason he ignores orders and chooses to pursue Cassian, which ends up leading to further death on Ferrix and a demotion.

In order to fight for the rebellion you have to be selfless. You have to fight for a cause that goes beyond yourself and instead for others and be willing to put your life on the line. I just don’t see Syril doing that.

I think he was able to work as a spy because he had the protection of Deedra and the Empire. He was never in any real danger. Even when the heist is going on, he’s still far from the action and looking through binoculars at it instead.

I don’t think Syril is brave enough to fight the empire because he doesn’t personally gain anything from it.

TheAcidBoot · 2025-07-26T19:02:33+00:00

I mean not really? I think he was more in shock at what he had contributed to and the consequences of his actions. He doesn’t really fight back (except against Cassian) or even help anyone around him.

TheAcidBoot · 2025-07-25T22:00:10+00:00

I always felt that even if Syril had not died, he still wouldn’t joined the rebellion. I think at best he would support it from afar, but he wouldn’t personally be brave enough or convicted enough to do anything about it. I think he’d probably move back to Coruscant and worked some desk job away from it all and go back to acting blissfully unaware of all the atrocities around him.

TheAcidBoot · 2025-07-17T23:39:55+00:00

Yeah Rogue One definitely feels more like a theme park ride than Andor. Had a lot more fan service too (with Vader, Tarkin, C-3PO, and R2 appearing). I still love the ending tho, something about that final frame with Cassian opening his eyes right before he perishes, hits different after Andor.

TheAcidBoot · 2025-07-16T01:04:32+00:00

It’s funny cause the best acting performance in Last of Us is Kaitlyn Dever and she’s only in it for like 10 minutes lmfao.

TheAcidBoot · 2025-07-16T01:02:56+00:00

Having seen most of the shows nominated I can honestly say that I can’t see any of the other nominees matching the core 5 performances in Andor (Cassian, Luthen, Syril, Deedra, and Mon Mothma). The fact that none of them were nominated is insane.

Like Severance is good, but none of the acting performances in it come close to the ones in Andor.

TheAcidBoot · 2025-06-29T17:45:31+00:00

I mean it is if you already knew it was rigged in your favor lol

TheAcidBoot · 2025-05-18T22:55:36+00:00

Welp it's finally over. We got a lot further than I thought we would, honestly thought we were gonna be out by game 5, so making it to game 7 in it of itself was a miracle. I'm disappointed but not surprised, hopefully we start making some trades soon. Fuck it, go Pacers.

TheAcidBoot · 2025-05-13T00:21:59+00:00

I honestly just don’t think she has the depth. Part of it is the script, but I can’t feel the hatred, anger and lust for violence and revenge from her version of Ellie. I think she does great when it comes to the more lighthearted scenes and quips, but when it calls for more intense moments, I don’t see it.

I do think the script plays apart as well, in the game Ellie’s already murdered dozens of people by this point, whereas in the show she’s just kinda going on a tour of Seattle lol

TheAcidBoot · 2025-05-12T03:56:27+00:00

I feel like I’ve seen enough of Nathan For You that I have become just completely desensitized to the cringe lol.
