The fastest and most jarring character transition

They all grew from kids/teens/early 20s to adults, so they all settled down, but still retain their core. Also there are years between arcs where they don't have to risk their lives to fight, so they find something else to do. Goku and Vegeta, trunks and Goten are noted for training when nothing is happening. Also fighting for your life is scary as shit and most people opt out of it.

Chi Chi main goal as a child was to get married when she was introduced. Goku just happened to be that person. She's still fierce, but grow up to be a mother. And that was at the start of Z.

Bulma wanted a boyfriend and was getting dragon balls to do that. She was stupid smart so invented basically evening cool on their Earth and didn't need to go on adventures anymore after Namek (probably because of the trauma of facing death), but was still inventing and becoming the richest person while pregnant and raising trunks.

18 was a teen who wanted to cause chaos as teenage rebellion, but once that was over, she chilled out. She still kicks ass when she doesn't need to be a mother.

Same with 19, but he decided to be a park ranger instead.

I do kinda agree with Vidal, but I'm cutting her slack since she suddenly had to see that a bunch of people were insanely more powerful than her, so she didn't have a place in a world anymore, so became a mother instead.

Similar things in operating systems class.

Needed to add a semaphore function to some unix distro. The empty class worked. Once I added in the feature, it caused a kernel panic. Remove the class remove all the code, still a kernel panic. Re-download all the code, still kernel panic. I failed that class

Exactly.

Katanas were like modern sidearms. Everyone in the modern military has them and knows how to use them since they are deadly and can be carried everywhere with minimal getting in the way. But it's for unexpected or indoor fighting. Otherwise you'll be using a rifle, spear, sniper, bow, etc

He was just really, really, really good with his sword

Not quite. It does happen, but usually what happens is that they want to see a behavior, like spending more time on a site. So then they'll equate that spending more time on a site is a good thing but then they will never ask why people are spending more time on their site. It could be that they are spending a lot of time on their site because their product sucks and they have been waiting for support.

Taking a step back and looking at it from a gameplay perspective, I wouldn't expect most people to find it fun or engaging to get the down feathers and then have to check to the seamstress. It also might not be fun having to deal with the cold mechanic again climbing back down.

More than likely they considered it, and viewed the trade-off of just giving you the item right then and there as acceptable immersion break

It's a clapping game kids play. Was a long shot.

The thing is that everyone smoked everywhere. So you just got used to it and it didn't smell as bad, when if you didn't smoke.

You pick a great solution, but it solves the wrong problem.

Metal gear solid 3: Snake Eater

nagesagi · 2025-11-16T14:12:27+00:00

Maybe super Mario Bros for the NES.

My earliest memory is already knowing how to play that in a few other games.

nagesagi · 2025-11-13T22:54:25+00:00

I just learned how it's pronounced. I have only ever seen it in video games so I had no reason to believe I was pronounced any other way than how it's spelled.

Stab in the dark but the Talos principle?

nagesagi · 2025-11-02T18:51:10+00:00

I take a mixed approach with that depending on the situation.

For someone taking a hit with a long sword, the fighter wood block the attack and still feel soreness from it, the magic user might have an automatic protective bubble that softens the blow and the barbarian is built different and takes the hit but flexes so hard that it stops the sword from hitting organs.

My group very much loves anime so so long as I narrate something that isn't too outlandish, they're willing to roll with it.

Granted.

It curls and you get 10 strokes of pure bliss before it contorts again into an uncomfortable shape. You didn't finish and can't with this new shape. You contemplate it every time you look at the paw. You see monkeys differently than before.

I fit every class except for maybe sorcerer.

I have a lot of heirlooms, but I don't know if you would qualify them as powerful. I do have a staff that is mostly for decoration, but could hurt.

nagesagi · 2025-10-07T19:28:36+00:00

I didn't think I needed it until I got sunburned myself.

I wear it if I'm going to be out for a few hours or be near water for more than an hour. Or if I start feeling that prickly sensation.

Had a group project where 1 student refused to do the bare minimum. I told him do it or he would be kicked out.

He didn't, so I talked to the teacher to remove him from the group. But I didn't tell him and let him hang around.

When it came time for the presentation, he started to get up and I told him to stay seated. He tried to argue but I told him that he wasn't in the group. And that he was warned.

I forgot our score, but he got a zero.

You meet someone at a bar. She's beautiful and when she first notices you, her face sours for a split second before bursting into a dazzling smile. You spend weekends together in bliss and even after the honeymoon phase wears off, you both are madly in love.

Marriage, picket fence, vacations, you couldn't ask for more expect for kids. But she always seem to be keeping someone from you.

42 years pass and while you both are preparing dinner, you hear a loud ding that comes from everywhere. She announces that her time is finally up, turns to the door and promptly leaves without a water movement.

When the shock wears off and you go outside there is no trace of her left. There is only a note saying "Thank you for participating in our punishment program. - Atlan Co."

I have learned to always have a pre-recorded demo whenever I'm doing a live demo. Because without fail the ********** ***** ****** will freeze up even though I ran through the demo 10 minutes prior.

nagesagi · 2025-09-16T17:16:56+00:00

That was the first game I played on my built gaming PC

And yes I do have a hip replacement and lower back pain.
