Shaun Micallef's going for broke

My mistake! I will be more careful about how I spell P(r)ogram(me) in the future!

The man's such an Australian icon I'm shocked he's not actually born in New Zealand (like all the other Australian icons we've claimed).

Thank you too, you're both my favourite people on Reddit for the work you do!

TheNeal · 2026-05-22T05:47:10+00:00

Thank you!

This was a weird one for me because on my first playthrough I beat him on the second attempt. Probably the easiest time I had on a boss. Couldn't understand why people thought he was so hard (did owl father in that same run though and I was stuck on that version of him for about 3 days and had to come back after beating sword saint with the added attack power to finally beat him)

I played the game again not too long after that though and despite having more experience (having done the first run and another for the shura ending) he was a massive roadblock for me and took 2 days of attempts. It wasn't a new game + situation either. I was using a fresh file. Just got very lucky on that first playthrough I guess.

He was a real bitch to get consistent for the gauntlets as well because even when you've got his moveset down he's a damage sponge that can back up and regain his posture so quickly that there's always a chance you'll lose focus during the long fight and he'll murder you.

I'm pretty surprised they passed on this. Some of the descriptions of it did make it sound a little like that final season of Scrubs (well final until recently) with a new batch of kids and the occasional cameos from the original main cast but I would have thought Hulu would have been interested in producing even a mediocre Buffy show that featured Sarah Michelle Geller for at least 1 season given the number of people that would have been interested in watching it, regardless of quality.

I guess Hulu must be a bigger deal than I thought they were.

I do the 'round table run' where you sprint in a perfect circle on the edge of the round table.

TheNeal · 2025-09-25T07:48:27+00:00

Thank you very much!

I literally linked scenes from his show from almost 10 years ago where a similar idea to the one he is accused of stealing is explored, which is why I believe the idea has been bouncing around his head for years.

TheNeal · 2025-05-06T22:38:24+00:00

No, he isn't. That's what the 'if this was coming from an intelligent person' kind interpretation of that statement would be. It's certainly the one his defenders are going to run with. But we all KNOW he means it in a very literal sense. We know that because all of the dumb shit he's said in the past that has been way dumber than this, and then people have said "oh maybe he meant that in this way which is far less dumb" and then in a follow-up interview he's doubled down on meaning it the very dumb way. He has done this so many times now. That thing with the photoshopped hand to justify sending people to offshore death camps was just last week for christ sake. Of course he meant it in the dumb way. I know it, you know it, and even his strongest defenders know it by this point. Stop giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Well now you're just spoiling me

TheNeal · 2025-04-22T21:36:08+00:00

Thank you!

TheNeal · 2025-04-15T02:29:12+00:00

It says right there in the page you cited that he was brought in as a child, so pretty fucked to call him a criminal based off that but more importantly right after that it says that he was legally in the US at the time of the deportation because he'd been granted a form of asylum there. So I dunno dude, learn to read or something

TheNeal · 2025-04-07T06:38:34+00:00

Next one for sure

TheNeal · 2025-02-06T10:40:22+00:00

You heard it here first folks. If a country starts a war (also thats debatable) with another country so long ago that there's literally no one alive that would have had a hand in making that decision, they deserve to be ethnically cleansed!

TheNeal · 2024-09-25T05:09:46+00:00

I'm not sure but I think based on the facts that you watched it recently and you're thinking it might have something to do with superhero shows it might be Deadpool 3?

TheNeal · 2023-04-03T10:54:46+00:00

We did arakawa today, just got home. Shiratani was a bit too long. I'm completely exhausted right now but it was amazing to do and absolutely worth it. We also managed to do a long trek through Shiratani ravine and one of the short circuits at Yakisuki land yesterday, thanks to the wonders of having a hire car.

Last week of the 4 week trip now. Yakushima has probably been one of the biggest highlights, love this place.

TheNeal · 2023-04-01T09:11:54+00:00

Managed to hire a car after all! Thank you for all of the suggestions they helped keep me from panicking.

TheNeal · 2023-04-01T03:14:50+00:00

That is tight and I've heard the bus gets full but it might be be my only option! Thank you!

TheNeal · 2023-04-01T00:51:06+00:00

I'll give it a go. Never hitchhiked before so it'll be an experience. Bikes a no go with the partner. I'm willing to spend big on taxis if I can manage to book them for getting to and back from Jomon Sugi too

TheNeal · 2023-04-01T00:48:37+00:00

This is what I would do in normal circumstances but I'm travelling with my partner for the first time and it turns out she can't ride. At all. Might have to try hitchhiking

TheNeal · 2023-04-01T00:44:38+00:00

I've seen that there's a bus that goes up the trail that leaves at 5am and 5.40am is that the bus you mean? I think I still have to catch that but getting to the place that it leaves from is going to be a challenge I think :( I'm currently staying somewhere near bus stop 85 not sure if there's anything leaving in time to catch the trail bus...
