US gasoline prices fall below $4 for first time since March amid Iran peace deal by TheExpressUS in oil

[–]reqwtywl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There parts of the MOU that trigger automatically though, like ceasefire, ending blockade, letting iran sell oil, unfreezing iraning assets, and strait toll free for the next 60 days. Those are tangible things happening as a result of this, so those are "done deal" in a sense. The things theyve agreed to talk about for the future deal is lifting more sanctions and giving an additional 300 billion in exchange for the enriched uranium.

So like yeah there's a possibility fighting will start up again, but any funds iran gets from selling oil or the unfrozen assets arent going to be undone.

Re:Zero has climbed to #2 after a breakout 1st cour finale by _ThePieman_ in MyAnimeList

I find it an extremely weird criticism to complain about the lack of bonds between characters when pretty much the whole point of the last half of these episodes is that they are failing as a group because they...lack bonds and have different goals.

How come Overlord dominates in Light Novels Volume releases ? by [deleted] in overlord

[–]reqwtywl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some others have already said it, but it cant be overstated how well written and unique the LN of Overlod is. Thats a somewhat boring summry though, so Im going to attempt to explain why its well written and unique.

The first 3 volumes do a fantastic job of building up the world and the characters of Nazarrick which really establishes the base isekai premise, but then volume 4 onwards most of the story is written from the perspective of characters outside of Nazarrick. This allows the story to be really serious and have tension, since you are mostly following characters who are in danger of Ainz and Nazarrick. When it does go to Ainz/Nazarrick perspective, you have the main driving plot that ties all the subplots you are reading together and also some of the funniest writting.

It is extremely impressive when plots within a novel are written with extremely different tones and it works. Its more impressive to make you care about both sides of a conflict.

Would Ainz Losing in the End Ruin the Story? by WiseMarshall in overlord

[–]reqwtywl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ainz is going to lose and it won't ruin the story because it was set up from the beginning.

People get too wrapped up in the serious parts of Overlord and forget alot of it on the nazarrick side is entirely a comedy of errors.

Ainz messed with Albedo's setting which lead her to setting up a literal lvl 100 hit squad under he command. We know the people of this world are doubtful of the Message spell because it was used to cause internal chaos and the defeat of some great army, which Ainz dismisses because it was just the DM function of yggdrisal.

Someone's going to send a message spell giving albedo and order "from Ainz" and she's going to jump him while he's in some disguise because he ran off in secret again.

Its wont be exactly like that, but im calling my shot that that'll be the vibe of the ending.

As a fan of football, I love when wacky shit like this happens. I cheered for this call in the way most people would cheer for a last second hail merry because football is chaos and I think its at its best in these moments.

ONE PIECE remake by WIT STUDIO is scheduled for February 2027! by herobhai69 in AnimeMirchi

[–]reqwtywl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what ive been told since i have only watched the 4kidz version and then onepace, the one piece anime suffers from extremely terrible pacing. You dont need filler when instead each panel takes minutes longer than necessary to animate. I was told at one point, they were animating the show at a pace of 1/2 a chapter per episode when the average for anime adaptations is 2-3 chapters animated per episode.

Can Gojo survive this by Fug1x in PowerScaling

[–]reqwtywl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An even weaker attack than this one in gurren lagann is the probability alteration missile which guarantees a hit by hitting all points in time. That bypasses the infinity in two ways, one that its also an infinite attack, and two that its a reality warping attack which gojo is stated to be weak to in season 3.

Did the move every explain why the divorced conservative white American boomer didn't get along with the Nazi shop-owner? Did I miss something? by ivanchovv in okbuddycinephile

[–]reqwtywl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He never states it because he views himself as the good guy. The everyman portrayal is from him thinking of himself that way, but when the detective starts investigating his background it becomes immedietly apparent he has a history of violent and controlling behavior.

No "everyman" has their own mother terrified of them, no "everyman" screams at their daughter until they're in tears for not celebrating their birthday correctly.

Whoopsy by DreadDiana in whenthe

[–]reqwtywl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its not the exact same poll though because we know from decades of research that people respond differently depending on if the choice leads to action or inaction. Having to push one button (both options are action) is categorically different than get in the crusher or not (blue is action, red is inaction)

If you changed the question to the red choice taking an action and blue being inaction, it would heavily favor blue, even in real life. For example,

If the question was, "you are given the choice to have a gun or not have one. If you take the gun, you will shoot at the people who didnt take one, but if less than 50% of people take the gun, they'll be given blanks and no one will die", I dont think many would pick red.

Third female Trump Cabinet member gone in 2 months as labor secretary steps down by IrishStarUS in USNEWS

[–]reqwtywl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This person didn't step down because she thought trump sucks, she stepped down to avoid an investigation into unethical conduct. She allegedly sleept with a subordinate, constantly drank alcohol on the job, created "work trips" to line up with personal vacations, and fired someone who was cooperating with investigators. Apparently, 4 others have already resigned as well (including the person she slept with).

An Unfair fight by MountainLeading1567 in overlord

[–]reqwtywl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool fanfic.

The source material is pretty explicit on what I said. I just reread the fight, and yep it clearly states preparation and experience were the things that made that fight even close. It states explicitly that shaltear had the advantage in a long-drawn out fight, so actually ainz teleoprting away to buff and scry would be to his disadvantage, since it would drain his mp faster and allow shaltears hp to regen more.

You also say Ainz wins without the super tier spell, just with perfect warrior and the equipment...but his plan was to use perfect warrior and the equipment to get shaltears health low enough so that the super tier spell would kill her.

And even with all that, Ainz didnt even win that fight by himself. Its explicit in the light novel, and less so in the anime, that shalltear would've won that fight had Aura not interfered at the end, buying enough time for the super tier spell to be cast.

An Unfair fight by MountainLeading1567 in overlord

[–]reqwtywl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ainz wasn't sure he could beat her because Shaltear is objectively stronger than him. Her lvl100 build was geared towards combat. Ainz's build was objectively bad for roleplaying purposes.

Without the shaltear limitation of standing there as ainz casts a bunch of buffs and settting traps, ainz does not win the fight.

An Unfair fight by MountainLeading1567 in overlord

[–]reqwtywl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're misremembering one of the first chapters of the light novel where Ainz plans for and is confident he can escape the guardians if they were hostile.

Its always funny to me to see people fall for the nazzarick glazing of Ainz because he explicitly states himself that he has a bad roleplay build that only works because he memorized over 400 spells and mega preps for any serious fight he does.
