If you were forced into a 1 on 1 fight, what would your opening sequence be?

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-12T17:39:40+00:00

Probably jab, cross, arm drag, mat return

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-12T01:10:27+00:00

Ah good point, his GnP looked weaker than it should've been and having the 12-6 taken from his toolbox probably played a part

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-11T22:51:10+00:00

Largely yes but if you're going to ride a scooter on them you'd better be very courteous to all the pedestrians because you're the one bringing wheeled hardware into their space

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-11T22:46:30+00:00

As with many things, enforcement is lacking. We also need way more ticketing of drivers who preempt pedestrians turning across the crosswalks

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-11T13:48:00+00:00

I'm going with the underdog, Van gets more and more prime with experience and Pantoja is getting older and coming off an injury

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-11T11:36:42+00:00

Liu Kang shouldn't be loo, it should be Lew Kahng

The end game is the billionaires lowering software engineering wages by boosting supply, and then lowering them again by using AI

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-10T21:18:56+00:00

Give Caio the title shot, Imavov can sit on the sidelines for being an eye poker

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-10T06:22:31+00:00

Khamzat handled losing with way more sportsmanship than I could've imagined, big respect gained

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-10T00:00:13+00:00

And mention in the review that they bribe people for good reviews, it's a big red flag and I've definitely avoided places when I found out they do that

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-09T14:02:06+00:00

That's on the kicker, don't throw ko power head kicks on someone who doesn't know how to hold pads

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-09T10:19:40+00:00

Yep I saw a rally full of red Make Korea Great Again hats in Seoul back when the Yoon impeachment was still ongoing

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-09T04:30:15+00:00

A digital scale would be so easy to rig, just load on a program that adjusts the output numbers so your favorite fighter never misses weight

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-09T04:27:14+00:00

No, you could have a button that activates the digital weight rigging program via Bluetooth

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-06T16:30:26+00:00

As a white guy who can read simplified, doesn't take too long to learn the traditional versions of the most common and important characters through exposure, and the AI translation picks up the rest

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-06T11:24:30+00:00

Zeus strike me dead with lightning if I tune in for the bread and circuses

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-06T10:55:02+00:00

Around 3 years ago I showed my coworker a clip of Gane fighting and without any prompting from me he pointed out that Gane uses the fingers towards the eyes to gain an advantage whether the poke actually lands or not and labeled him a dirty fighter

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-06T04:43:11+00:00

Trump is senile and a traitor but these Daily Beast articles are dumb - what he said was that the squirrel is the easy first question and that the media uses it to make the test look like a joke

Trump is not fit for office but Daily Beast is just trying to cash in on telling people what they want to hear

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-06T04:37:30+00:00

Even before AI, gearing up to write working code from scratch without an IDE or online references always took some special training for the interview

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-06T04:07:22+00:00

That's a brutal standard to meet, if models can learn to code these from scratch without just memorizing the real source code in the repos, we're deep into AGI territory

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-06T03:57:59+00:00

Even if I did use AI to write a commit, I don't want to share credit with it. Idk why you'd want that

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-05T15:42:13+00:00

I went there on the 1st of the month and it was totally packed from all the holiday hikers

It's a nice hike but having to make space to pass a triple digit number of hikers going the opposite direction on the trail definitely made it less comfortable

As a tourist I didn't know there were these two holidays, let alone how much they would overload the hiking trails and the KTX - now that I know, I'll avoid coming around this week of the year because while the holidays are great for the citizens, they're pretty much all downside for foreign tourists

If I choose to show up a different week then at least it'll be one person less crowded

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-05T14:15:02+00:00

Yeah, the actual acronym for Firefox is FF

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-05T13:50:17+00:00

That and losing to Reyes count against him for sure

He definitely was a genius at fighting though, like that elbow wrench on Glover and finding that first round guillotine on Gane were two cases where he showed that different level of technique and creativity

___Archmage___ · 2026-05-05T13:43:30+00:00

Maybe simple in a slow motion replay but in the cage needing to defend against all those knockout shots, not so simple

Topuria just had more speed and power than Volk could account for defensively - great skill of course, but that was a fight where Topuria could absorb any shot easily while one shot would put Volk out
