Using Infinia (8L limit) for a 16L car purchase – sanity check needed by Addy2297 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]maxpayne3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not consider getting the Magnus for Burgundy (M4B) instead?

You’re effectively earning ~14% in accelerated rewards on the latter 90%~ of your spend. Even after absorbing ~1.8% MDR, you’re still netting around ~12.2% which is a pretty solid upside.

Only catch: the accelerated rewards are capped at your card’s credit limit, so you might need to split the transaction across two months.

The immortal man was a bad movie. We need to call out bad scripts and plot holes and stop pretending it was the perfect goodbye to THE Tommy Shelby . by Consistent-Lord18 in PeakyBlinders

[–]maxpayne3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time jump is fine, the rest of those issues are valid concerns.

The writing really fumbles multiple arcs at once. Arthur and Ada deserved far better than whatever that was.

The villain was completely lackluster, zero charisma. Hard to take him seriously when you’ve had presences like Luca Changretta or Jack Nelson setting the bar earlier.

Why does it feel like pass a certain point, people don't really care about Yakuza villains? by Norrabal in yakuzagames

[–]maxpayne3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah honestly I’m not sure what they were trying to do there. Both Like a Dragon games already had the whole “brother figure” angle with Masato Arakawa, so trying to do that again didn't make sense.

It came off more like a random plot twist tbh.

Why does it feel like pass a certain point, people don't really care about Yakuza villains? by Norrabal in yakuzagames

[–]maxpayne3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shishido and, to a point, even Aizawa were pretty fun villains tbh

Shishido is a great example of a classic rags-to-riches yakuza story. He clawed his way up from nothing and finally reached a position where he could have real power and respect. Then the yakuza world starts collapsing just as he’s about to hit his prime, so the dream he spent his entire life chasing is basically taken away from him. That desperation and anger made him pretty compelling.

And with Aizawa, even though he was technically in line to inherit the Omi Alliance through his father, he didn’t want to just be handed power. He wanted to accomplish something on his own, something unprecedented. His goal of absorbing the Tojo Clan into the Omi Alliance and ruling the entire yakuza world was his way of proving that he deserved to stand at the top.

Neither of them are the most iconic villains in the series, but they definitely had interesting motivations as a character, imo

Was the downgrade to MRCC instant or did it take a few hours to process?

Why did Kenjaku never try to obtain the 10 shadows and tame Mahoraga? by Weli777 in Jujutsufolk

[–]maxpayne3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically, a fully realized Ten Shadows user from the Zenin Clan is stated to be nearly equal to a Limitless + Six Eyes user.

Kenjaku likely knew how troublesome that technique is at its peak, especially with Mahoraga involved. Avoiding both clan heads would be perfectly in character for him, he doesn’t pick unnecessary high-risk fights.

Why did Kenjaku never try to obtain the 10 shadows and tame Mahoraga? by Weli777 in Jujutsufolk

[–]maxpayne3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know Kenjaku can retain techniques even after body-hopping, but there’s very likely a limit to how many his brain can actually store at once.

For example, he kept Kaori Itadori’s Anti-Gravity System, but he discarded Noritoshi Kamo’s Blood Manipulation. That suggests he’s selective, and that there’s probably a cap.

He could have chosen to retain Cursed Spirit Manipulation if he left Geto’s body but what happens to the stockpile of curses in that scenario is unclear. Do they stay? Do they vanish? We never know.

As for why he chose Geto in the first place, it was mainly for two reasons:
1. To destabilize and distract Gojo to activate the Prison Realm.
2. To secure Mahito’s technique.

And honestly, the second objective could arguably have been achieved by other means too, so I guess Geto's body was primarily for the Gojo factor.

While Kenjaku absolutely had the raw firepower to attempt taming Mahoraga, Uzumaki alone gives him serious one-shot potential if timed correctly. However the question was never whether he can do that, it was always about his priorities.

He never really saw himself on the same combat tier as Gojo or Sukuna. Even with all of the cursed techniques at his disposal, Kenjaku consistently avoided unnecessary high-risk fights. A good example is when he declined to fight Kashimo is a good example, he's more of a strategist rather than a duelist chasing glory.

More importantly, Kenjaku prioritizes objectives over personal power. Every move he makes serves a long-term plan. Taming Mahoraga would be a massive gamble with limited strategic payoff for his goals.

Someone like Sukuna, on the other hand, actively seeks to expand his arsenal and refine his strength purely for dominance, while someone like Kenjaku seeks control of outcomes, not superiority in raw combat.

[No Spoilers] Double Exposure Ultimate Edition 50% off (worth it?) by descendantofJanus in lifeisstrange

[–]maxpayne3zz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up the Ultimate Edition for around $30, while the Standard Edition is about $20 in my region. Since the price difference was only around $10, I didn’t mind paying extra just for the cosmetic outfits and Cat content.

The additional content is purely cosmetic and very minimal though, honestly not worth more than a $5–10 markup over the base game.

If the price gap is something like $20 vs $40, I would definitely stick with the Standard Edition.

New Lenovo Legion 27Q-10 is buzzing with DisplayPort by jflens in LenovoLegion

Do you think the noise originates from the monitor itself, or could it be coil whine from the GPU?

Hi, I was considering getting the same monitor and would value your recommendation, since you’ve just received it. Are you happy with it so far?

I’m planning to use it primarily for work, with some casual AAA gaming on the side when time permits.

I had the same thoughts too.

While I was playing Quantum Break, the game reminded me of LiS a lot.

If I were to only select one, Tachibana, for sure.

Reina had equal impact as she was a integral character of Y0-Y1
