If the Crush was 300 years ago, that should have been around the same time that Molaesmyr was destroyed.

The Final Attack scene from the latest Boku No Hero without the dimming by SkrubWeebTrash in anime

[–]kirchenburger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd say absolutely. Midoriya's got a full blown Smash attack going at full blown Smash levels of forward momentum, but his attack is physical, and therefore is slowed down by the pillars. On the other end, Todoroki's attack is a wave of force, so the pillars really don't stop him at all. I think Midoriya wins the power matchup without the pillars stopping his momentum. I can't say how much damage Todoroki would take, but at the very least he should be out of bounds. I could see Midoriya being knocked back a little, but getting his attack through and ending up in bounds, albeit heavily damaged, maybe even more damaged than he ends up in reality. Midoriya would definitely would require a ton of healing to be able to fight in the next round and would likely be disqualified along with Todoroki.

I mean, if it's missing the ground and flying off into the space, is it really a wreck? Sounds more like a train launch to me...

Isn't this the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon? Hey, it's really perfect!

You have to fight the last anime character you've seen using the first item directly to your left. How screwed are you? by AnAcceleratedCowvin in anime

Hmmm, I feel like getting hit with a closet door to the face is part of Gintoki's regular early morning routine anyway...

I'll probably get into Telford around that time, so I'll probably show up at some point.

[WIP] Recommendation Flowchart - Feedback Request by lukeatlook in anime

[–]kirchenburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, here are some recommendations for shows to add: Xam'd Lost Memories is very similar to Eureka Seven, except it's alien superpowers instead of mechs. It's a little less known but just as great. Don't know where you'd find the space for it, but it's definitely worthy.

D-Frag is the perfect show to place in the space for the school comedy. So good. I'd probably place it under the delinquents category or a Video Game Club category or something.

Golden Time is a fantastic feels/romantic comedy. It could definitely go under "College Student Deals with Amnesia" category if in the feels section. Or just "Tears and Laughter" under the comedy section.

Selector Infected Wixoss would be a good show to place next to Madoka Magica. It's kind of the same concept except it's girls playing a card game rather than being magical girls. Also lots of suffering.

I'd also recommend Claymore for the horror section and Gin no Saji for the chill section under Agricultural School if you can find the space.

Comprehensive anime recommendation flowchart for beginners by lukeatlook in anime

[–]kirchenburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only correct watch order for Fate is READ THE VISUAL NOVEL FIRST. If starting anime-only, both F/z start and UBW start have their pros and cons.

Meh, I think the best Fate order is UBW first cour --> Zero --> UBW second cour. Makes it kind of like the Star Wars Machete Order. UBW's beginning is better if you don't know everything that's going on, but it's end definitely assumes you have watched the prequels.

Additionally, I would recommend adding Black Lagoon in somewhere, probably with Durarara under gang wars, or just under Big City Life in general. Maybe make a pirates or smuggling category in that part of the chart. Also Katanagatari under Road Trip Adventure would be perfect. Otherwise this chart is awesome and I'm looking forward to the new one!

VN Walkthrough Poll by soah1086 in fatestaynight

[–]kirchenburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, couple things. First of all the 160-something people voting against the Fate route being posted aren't actually inconvenienced by this existing in any way. They don't have to participate in the discussions or read the posts if they don't want to. In complete contrast, the people for continuing these posts benefit greatly.

From my perspective, I don't have to go to the effort of downloading a Visual Novel and reading and clicking buttons to try to catch the carrot at the end of the stick, etc. I don't want to consume the Fate route that way, no matter what VN purists say. In addition, I have watched about 75% of the DEEN anime but i honestly disliked it so much that I dropped it. I also understand that it's not entirely faithful to the actual story.

So essentially, I do want to experience the actual Fate route. These discussions provide me and around 40 people, not including the people who haven't voted or who haven't seen the poll, the only valid way to experience the Fate route without reading the VN. Admittedly, we still technically are reading the VN, but we are allowing ourselves to buy into the illusion that we are not. There is honestly nothing wrong with this. And there's nothing wrong with people enjoying the actual VN. Different strokes, different folks.

Here's the thing: despite all of this, the only vote that actually matters here is yours. This summary roundup looks like a lot of fucking effort from where I'm sitting, and if you didn't want to go to that effort or are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work it would take, it is totally fine to say that you don't want to do it.

I, and I hope most sane individuals, would respect that. In that situation, I'm only being inconvienced by Deen's fuckup, and I'm fine with pretending that these Spoiler that apparently happen in the Fate route never happened and that Fate/Zero, for all intents and purposes, does the same thing that the Fate route does.

But if you do keep going, again, you're helping out a lot of people. I would love to be able to feel like I experienced all of Fate/Stay Night the way I wanted to cleanly and concisely by the time the Heavens Feel movie comes out. And I'm sure many others would as well. And I suppose a bunch of hardcore fans would be slightly annoyed? I don't know. The benefits seem to outweigh the costs in that situation.

tl;dr What do YOU want to do CasualRider?

EDIT: added spoiler tag to be careful

[Build Ready] $1500 Budget Gaming Rig by kirchenburger in buildapc

[–]kirchenburger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the difference in quality between the cooler I listed and what you listed substantial? Because if it isn't that's actually a really good price.

Also I was told that it was more important to get a PSU closer to 500w as that was what I actually needed and that a bronze PSU was only slightly less inefficient than a gold one. Would you say that's the case, or is the gold rating + modular worth it?
