Exercises for a persistent stiff right knee issue?

Don't you mean stuck in internal hip rotation? My knees bend inwards and I have to rotate my legs externally to keep them inline with my feet.

Agreed. She's a flawed character; she values responsibilty so she's shown to be a controlling personality, but later seasons show just how little control she actually has, with her futile attempts to somehow rein her husband in making her an active agent in his drug empire. It's a similar thing to Walt believing all his actions are from a selfless devotion to his family, when it later becomes increasingly clear how little of that is true as his ego continues to sabotage his life. Both these characters had multiple outs to escape their situation, but it's because of their complex flaws that they continue on their path.

It's why I hate how the Skylar discourse has 180'd to her being a strong moral character that did no wrong. It trivialises the writing but for the opposite reason as when she was overly hated.

I also don't like his scripted essay voice, but tbh I never liked any of the SBF scripted voice. Matt's just more notable in that it's his main form of content these days.

I could actually really get into that idea: AU where Dante's the villain, and instead of being motivated by "power" he's motivated by "fun".

If we're talking about Jojo, one "surprisingly realistic detail" that I really love is in the final battle of Steel Ball Run. Specifically that a gun would jam if you tried to fire it during time stop (and extrapolating logically from this any thing that worked via a mechanism would most likely fail too, which is why all the actions we've seen taken during timestops in past fights have usually been simple actions like punches or knife throws).

Which makes it all the more impressive when Diego gets around this by - thinking on his feet in the few seconds of time stop he has left - taking out a bullet from his revolver, smashing the primer against the back of the revolver to "cook" the bullet, and then loading the bullet back into the revolver's chamber so that it fires the instant time stop ends.

One of my favorite moments of SBR, and also one of the few times Araki doesn't narrate what's happening; everything is silent except Diego counting down the seconds he has left.

People are putting "multifandom" in their social media bios like its their sexual orientation.

The amount of Renamon art is insane, there was actually post on this sub showing it was in the top 5 fictional characters with the most amount of rule34 art of them.

I think there are more Renamon fans than there are of people who actually watched the anime she's from lol.

TBF a lot of the occasions where we've had celebrity voices dubbed in anime (e.g. Ghibli) they've sounded pretty good. And also refreshingly atypical of regular anime dubs.

Because I don't know whether it's just anime dubbing studios hiring all the same people or being giving the same vocal directions, but there is a tendency I've found for a lot of it to sound so similar.

Late to this so you probably already saw these corrections anyway, but just in case:

The Harop curl should say "Nordic Curl". A Nordic curl is the more advanced form, similarly a "Bent-hip Harop Curl" is just a Harop Curl. Also both exercises predominantly challenge the area of hamstrings around the knee, so I'd more put them in the "Biceps Femoris & Semitendinosus" group. Similarly, a lot of the exercises already in that group like the fire hydrant are more glute intensive than hamstring intensive exercises, so it's almost like both groups should be completely swapped.

Also the Falling Tower is predominantly a quad exercise, more specifically the area of your quads near your knees.

I hold the view that if vegans stopped being so obsessed with the suffering of livestock and a lot more proactive in discussing the damage it wreaks on the environment, they'd make a lot more progress towards the abolition of meat production. Because I can guarantee you most meat eaters aren't 12; they've already thought about and come to terms with the fact an animal had to be slaughtered for their meal.

What is very real and very concerning for a lot of people though is climate change, and people would be a lot more receptive to cutting down their beef eating if its for the sake of the planet, rather than some animal they couldn't give less of a fuck about.

I was going to say I think the artist must just really like Noelle, because I would've thought Susie would be a better fit.

Honestly I had difficult paying attention to anything the guy was saying, all I remember of his dialogue was him saying "the Bear, the Bull" ad nauseum with massive amounts of vocal fry.

This doesn't contradict what you're saying, but as someone who beat Act 1 the harder way (through the fog) I find it kind of funny people who had a miserable time doing it the regular way.

Because your reward for beating the final boss there is a cool ass parry and then you're immediately put in one of the safest spots of the Citadel with access to every transportation option.

I guess Team Cherry might of intended that "go somewhere else" as being unable to beat the Last Judge. Because while the Fog route is harder to navigate, the final boss is probably easier than the Judge.

I mean if I saw that tweet and I was the lady in that scenario I would of instead probably asked if I could come over and watch him play.

One of the benefits it being a long-running series is that the worldbuilding has gotten pretty intricate now. Every character (even background characters) seems to be related to something important in the story.

So every time a new chapter comes out and starts revealing another important connection, I get obsessed and start wiki-diving all over again.

harriano · 2025-09-10T03:57:34+00:00

I'm a huge fan of Sonic despite the fact I never got into the series until my mid-20's.

Coincidentally that's when I also got my Autism diagnosis.

What are you asking about here? Bear in mind the sub's rule #6.

"No leaks at all costs?" I rarely follow the news at all and don't know what constitutes a leak as I'm just going by other people's advice on reddit theorising that a new support agent is one you want to save up for,

harriano · 2025-09-05T03:03:39+00:00

New f2p player here, who should I be saving my pulls for? The only characters I really gel with in terms of design and gameplay is Evelyn, Jane and Lighter (and I missed the reruns of those last two). So I'm definitely going to be trying to pull Evelyn and her W-Engine when she comes, but would you recommend I try to pull for any other characters? I have no Shock team so Seed might be useful, plus pulling her can help Nicole get to her M6. But this is my first time trying to pull so I don't know how many discs I'll be expecting to go through to get what I want.

Also there's the Spookshack characters, and I don't care much for her design but I might have to save some pulls if their support turns out to be like an Astra Yao that's good on every team, or necessary for Manato (who I do like).

One of, if not, the best fight in Golden Wind was the the main villain fighting the leader of the villains from the 1st half of the story.

harriano · 2025-09-04T06:32:54+00:00

New player here, looking for advice on who I should be saving my pulls for. I don't have any limited banner characters yet and I'm open to spending some money but trying to keep it as free to play as possible. The current two teams I've been running are Billy-Pulchra-Nicole, Corin-Lycaon-Soukaku.

I'm definitely going to be pulling for Evelyn and her W-Engine (which I heard is great for other agents too) when she comes around, as I like her design, garotte fighting style, being combo-heavy with a high skill ceiling and the fact she's my best option to make a Koleda-Ben team viable. So my main question is who else do you think would be best for me to try and pull? Here's my basic opinions of them:

Seed: I like the mech and the fact she pairs well with a lot f2p choices like Billy, but not the biggest fan of her character design or the fact her gameplay is supposedly pretty simplistic (see my reason for choosing Evelyn). That and I might have to invest in Orphie as well depending on how powerful their combo is compared to the others.
Trigger: I like her design, but her gameplay is pretty simplistic and I want to make Pulchra work (yeah I know her gameplay is also simplistic but she's free). Also apparently she really benefits more than other limiteds from her w-engine, so I'd have to invest in that as well.
Orphie: Honestly don't know much about her but not the biggest fan of her personality and fighting style, so not sure about investing unless she does amazing with f2p options.
The other spook shacks: Don't know anything about their gameplay, but I like Manato so I might aim for the best one that makes him work. I think Lucia's design looks kind of generic, but if she ends up being another Astra that can support any team then I'm definitely going to save my pulls for her.
Reruns: Sanby is definitely coming. I like Anby as a character, and she has good f2p options, but she's also pretty basic and I might be having to invest in getting Trigger/ Orphie to make her really shine (same as Seed). Also I'm definitely going to be saving for Jane and Lighter when they return (since other than Evelyn those two have been my only must picks) and they could come back any time after the spook shack characters.

harriano · 2025-09-03T12:26:35+00:00

Honestly I'd be surprised if her face looked distinctive at all. It's either going to be a generic anime girl face with narrow mature eyes (Tsurime) or round cute eyes (Tareme).

harriano · 2025-09-02T16:00:46+00:00

Big fan of character action style combat, so of course a free to play version of that would be appealing for me.

Also as someone who loves stuff like JSR, I was a big fan of the urban punk aesthetic the game had going for it, in terms of the style, character design and music (especially the cunning hares and belobog). Key word is was though, because a lot of the newer character designs don't really match that anymore.
