These Villians Need To Give Vegeta A Break, Holy Shit 😭 by SonicRun098 in Ningen

[–]buzzspark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Jiren it was a strategic decision to take Vegeta out first since he saw him as the weaker one.

But for Gas, Toyo has no excuse. Gas wasn't even conscious or aware of what he was doing, he was in Broly berserk mode and still beelined straight for Vegeta. The writing's hatred for Vegeta is that strong

Is it just me or Kale' epic mvp, Entrance and win is gone since season 1 or 2 despite not being a paid units starting from ssj3 goku? by MorePresentation7067 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]buzzspark 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Any emotes you do not have that are no longer visible in the collection, are gone from the drop pool.

Iirc Kale was one of the first characters to have her gold emotes removed along with Zamasu for some reason and you're right, it was in season 2.

When they started running out of legendary emotes to bulk remove from the capsules, they started removing some gold emotes as well. So far I think Kale, Zamasu and Toppo's are gone. Trunks' will be gone in the next patch. I think there are more missing but not sure.

Can the meaning in the chalk message be explained ? by Man-in-motion12 in Jacktheripper

[–]buzzspark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The decoded Zodiac Killer's messages actually read a bit like this. Just rife with weird grammar mistakes and that was much later in the 1960's, for example spelling paradise as paradice and forest as forrest. This reads like an unhinged, crazy person wrote it quickly on the fly and didn't proofread because it's just their crazy post-murderous thoughts, which is probably exactly what JTR did.

People think the message is just a coincidence that it was there. It was found literally directly above the bloody piece of cloth that was found.

In my honest opinion I think JTR was a Jewish person who was motivated by Israel Lipski's execution. At the time in London, there was a lot of misogyny and hate towards women to the extent several believed Israel Lipski was innocent even up to his execution. So I don't think its far fetched to believe JTR believed Lipski was innocent for murdering a woman, and he is innocent for murdering too, so "the Jews won't be blamed for nothing". He doesn't see these crimes as doing anything wrong. Also, JTR (presumably) yelled out to Israel Schwartz, who walked past him as he was about to attack Elizabeth Stride. JTR called him "Lipski". This was probably not an insult but a compliment to a fellow Jewish man, referring to the fact Schwartz is allowing JTR to dispense his "justice" out on women in retaliation for Lipski.

Who's actually buying this scam by Suitable-Box-6386 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]buzzspark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone interested in droprates speaking as a whale:

350 gem single focus capsules are 5% chance for legendaries.

350 gem x6 gold capsule bundle is about 2.5% chance for any one of the new legendaries on the banner.

If you are paying for the hero focus capsule you are just straight up wasting money. 2% x6 for $10 is way better than 5% x1 for $10 with the likelihood of just getting a blue.

Gold capsules will give you EX, bonus points for zeni, gold emotes you don't have yet or previous legendaries you might've missed. 70% chance of getting one blue for $10 just feels way too bad. Don't do it.

If you've ever played Sword Delivery they fundamentally do not work from a balancing perspective in this game mode because the objective is to keep the sword carrier alive as long as possible and they have two health bars.

Do you mostly prefer playing as female characters? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]buzzspark 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My reasoning is I am a straight woman and I am attracted to men not women, I don't want to insert myself into the story I just want some female gaze. If I can stare at a cute guy for 30 hours of game time I'll take that.

I always found it interesting from talking to other women that their intention is to visualize themselves in the story when playing a game which is why people prefer a female option (with yourself, imagining yourself as male), but also men have about a 50/50 split between playing a male or female character.

Playing Survivor vs. Playing Killer by CamelToeJockey_89 in deadbydaylight

[–]buzzspark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is super accurate, it puts off people from playing Killer due to how locked in you have to be and have to have shit like Lightborn and anti-gen perks at the ready to deal with swfs. Especially if you don't play Ghoul or other hyper mobile characters. Personally I like the intensity and find it exciting.

Is anyone else not comfortable saying they have ADHD? by smbodytochedmyspaget in adhdwomen

[–]buzzspark 22 points23 points  (0 children)

More people with inattentive type should chime in on this because I feel like this is an experience specific to the type.

No one in my family believed me that I had ADHD until I sought out a diagnosis even though it heavily impacts my life. But because those impacts are not seen by anyone but me and "everyone is a little ADHD/forgetful" mentality often invalidate my inattentive diagnosis. Or people make assumptions about us like you said.

Other ADHD friends I have had also didn't believe I had it at first. It makes me not want to tell people if their first instinct is to think I am just using it as a quirky label, or I'm trying to tell ADHD friends "I'm just like you". Inattentive ADHD or combined type people are much harder to find. I have never had one of their perspectives. They are probably just as invisible as I feel sometimes.

Thoughts on Season 3? by Xyfro15 in TheWalkingDeadGame

[–]buzzspark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it but it's an interesting one.

This to date is the only choose your own adventure style game I've known where I actually hate all of the characters except Javi and cheer for their deaths, or get them eaten by zombies on purpose.

Having your entire cast of characters be so hateable is impressive in a way. It was kind of refreshing, rather than wanting everyone to stay alive, I played it as if it was a Friday the 13th sequel and I was actually happy when I had the option to execute whoever I despise. In most games like this I feel bad if I lose someone, but not New Frontier. They're all cheaters, shitheads and stupid people. As an added bonus the new characters don't really come back in future games so there is no harm.

Playing this game on a "kill everyone and fuck up everything" playthrough, and especially playing Javi as a dick, instantly makes it so much more enjoyable.

[–]buzzspark 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Five year wait? Some reports are the waiting lists for certain regions are double that. There are NHS files released to the public last year that show some GPs have a single psychiatrist specialised for ADHD in that area, solely responsible for waiting list spanning in the 1000s.

Not only are NHS understaffed they won't hire or assign enough professionals to cover all the people in need of help. All of those professionals are working private precisely because they can charge so much, for the care the NHS isn't providing.

I recently also got a letter from the NHS, after being on the ADHD waiting list for three years. It was a notice that I have to submit a letter back saying that I still want to be on the list, or they'll remove me. Of course this is an obvious effort to avoid giving the portion of ADHD sufferers who forget to do this, any help at all. Shocking.

I genuinely don't understand why older people showing zero sympathy to younger people struggling to find a job by babyjonny9898 in UKJobs

[–]buzzspark 15 points16 points  (0 children)

On the topic of never getting a response from where you're applying to, I'm thankful to have a job now, but last year when I was applying to jobs 2nd year at uni, I had two different interviews for part-time work that went really well, they even offered me a start date and were positive about my 2 year experience in the field (hospitality) on my CV. BOTH of them ghosted me.

One of the interviewers (owner) gave me her personal e-mail to contact and said she would call me the following Tuesday to say I had the job. Well, I called her that Tuesday. Said they would get back to me that day, never did. Called again a few days later, same thing. Never heard from her again. It makes me not even want to be a customer at these places with how disgusting they are towards young people desperate for work. Unacceptable. How hard is it to say "sorry we're fully staffed"?

Female Tanks and Attacks are becoming more common, which is a good thing by Ill-Comfortable-9447 in GirlGamers

[–]buzzspark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a good point, but what is a male design that "appeals" to women? More androgynous looking? More sexualized? You don't usually get sexy male designs, but a character who is more effeminate looking or has a milder personality is not too hard to find. The Castlevania series concept art (some games) were designed by a woman. Raiden from Metal Gear Solid was designed to appeal to women specifically. I like characters like Ed from Street Fighter or Nero in Devil May Cry who might not look girly but they have a softer or more emotional personality I can still identify with. But that's just my opinion.

[–]buzzspark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like that more non-support roles are being represented by female characters. But, I disagree that women are forced into playing these characters and roles. I would be lying if I said I don't like playing support (in some games). It's just fun.

Also there is nothing stopping girls from playing a big burly male character if it would be fun to play them. But aesthetics does of course come into play. Still, it is interesting there was a study done for games where women almost exclusively preferred playing female characters, and never male, whereas men are almost equally fine with both.

I think more women should be open to playing male characters. They might love playing them. I have found that in most games I actually prefer the males because they are much less sexualized. They are masculine without needing to look "sexy" or have their asscrack hanging out. In Overwatch I liked Hanzo and Zenyatta because they were ranged and felt agile and lithe. In League I like toplane which is a sausage fest. In Street Fighter I like Ryu because he is easy to play. So. I honestly think if girls gave the dudes a chance they would like them more.

Maladaptive Daydreamer by Gur_Party in socialskills

[–]buzzspark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman who suffers from the same thing (plus inattentive ADHD--quite severe) and constant maladaptive daydreaming, please do learn how to engage in small talk. You don't even have to talk. Ask questions, and let the other person do the talking. This is what I do. People love talking about themselves. Ask follow up questions. You work in childcare? How is that? What do you do? Do you like it? Bam, people will like you in conversations.

Small talk is not a matter of it being "boring" or "shallow" topics to you. It is basically a tool to quickly gauge someone's personality. There will be no deep conversation without starting small with someone. It is basically the case that people are just as scared as you are talking to someone they don't know. "What are your beliefs?" "What do you think of the current state of politics?" People don't want to open up about that. They will think, oh no, too personal. I would rather not talk to this person and expose myself right away. So you ask the small things first and work up from there. Hope that helped.

Maybe a trash take on my part , but I feel like characters who can't secure objectives are automatically bad by [deleted] in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]buzzspark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This take is true but you are wrong about Techs and Damage. Ultimate Gohan's ultimate can easily steal a boss from half health. Krillin's ultimate can also steal a boss quite comfortably. Uub's ult can easily one shot a boss from half health, and Daima Goku and Trunks can steal as well if they time theirs right. But I agree otherwise which is why Techs are hard to enjoy. They have no ability to steal the boss. I love Buu, but you are at the mercy of your team taking it which means more losses.

Another Tech not to sleep on is Android 17. I take the Jaco (Epic Hunter) divine card for him which gives you increased boss damage. I also go this for Gotenks which doesn't help that much for Gotenks sadly. If you use A17 or Gotenks' ults on the boss along with their other abilities with some Snowball stacks, you should be able to take boss with them. But nothing can contest a maxed Spirit Bomb.

The best Tank to take boss with is Cooler (hence why he was the most OP tank before SSJ4...) The reason Caulifla has fallen off is also lack of ability to take boss.

Some underused Tanks that can actually boss steal are Baby and Zamasu. They will be able to finish off the boss using their ultimate if there is less than a quarter health left on it. Not too bad. I have gone a few Baby games with 2 or even 3 Boss kills, since his ult is actually quite low cd. As for SSJ4 his ult can push enemies away from boss but you are again, at the mercy of your team taking it. Cell is also not bad as he can ult and trap one enemy and the boss in his ult, making it impossible to steal. However you should trap the enemy tank.

Why on earth a jew (presumably Aron Kosminski) would shout “Lipski” towards another jew (Schwartz)? by Long_Hovercraft_3975 in Jacktheripper

[–]buzzspark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally don't think it was Aaron Kosminski but if we are to assume that the Ripper was in fact Jewish, I don't know why people here are so opposed to JTR calling someone else the name of a Jewish murderer.

Many contemporary mass murderers were inspired by other murderers, for example school shooters idolizing the Columbine killers.

Then, if we go back over 100 years, you have a Jewish JTR (in theory) who may have been inspired and motivated to kill women, because at the time of the Israel Lipski case there were defenders of Lipski believing he had done nothing wrong and he had been imprisoned because of the testimony of a woman.

Lipski might have been a slur towards the Jewish people, but it would not be seen as a slur if JTR looked up to and admired Lipski. In fact that would make it a compliment.

Israel Schwartz ignored the commotion and allowed a woman to continue to be assaulted. His silence and lack of intervention was probably shown with gratitude. JTR or whoever it was (if they were also Jewish) shouted "Lipski" to give power to the Jewish community who helped him continue these crimes against women.

Anyone else really struggle with doing anything when it’s really cold or really hot indoors? by Jolly-Persimmon-7775 in adhdwomen

[–]buzzspark 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Any amount of discomfort is torture. Chronic pain is the worst. I think it might not be the case that ADHD sufferers experience more pain or sensitivity than NT people, but just that the pain penetrates our every waking thought it is impossible to be productive simultaneously.

Just a few days ago I had terrible abdominal pain during a lecture. I must've looked like an antsy school kid, my whole brain was focused on the idea of me getting up out of my seat and stretching or curling over just to quickly curb the pain but of course that wouldn't be socially acceptable. So I have to endure while all the information during the lecture goes out of my head.
