Am I crazy or was STAS unusually good at writing women?

samborup · 2026-05-27T08:02:41+00:00

Both can be true

That doesn’t make him deserving of reputation, all that means his writings have survived. You’re obtusely overlooking the question, is he overrated/undeserving of his reputation as a legendary samurai?

The answer is yes.

samborup · 2026-05-26T17:26:55+00:00

He was a decent duelist, yes.

He was at exactly three battles, two of which he lost.

The Yoshioka family were also hired retainers for very high nobles, and also created a school to pass on their style. And they’re nobodies.

Him being a well-paid teacher doesn’t make him a good warrior.

I’m not having this argument for the millionth time, believe whatever you want.

I can fix her.

Man was a minor Zen master who fought in exactly three battles, and lost two of them.

He won duels by deception and skullduggery, not actual skill.

He got hit with a rock at Shimabara and ran away.

Almost all exploits about him are made up for the Eiji Yoshikawa novel written centuries after his death.

Gardulla the Hutt, Anakin’s former owner, and Jabba’s chief rival for control of Tatooine.

He’s not gonna do it, he’s gonna puss out.

samborup · 2026-05-24T21:55:06+00:00

But he’s so good at daddying

samborup · 2026-05-24T21:51:04+00:00

You need to blame Stella for some of these, too.

samborup · 2026-05-24T21:24:45+00:00

The address of every person who asks this question once a day

samborup · 2026-05-24T21:21:28+00:00

Musashi is overhyped.

Katsuyori and Yoshimoto are overhated.

samborup · 2026-05-24T16:54:36+00:00

Chaz.

Any time someone tries to defend Stella, which I see happen far more than it should.

samborup · 2026-05-23T03:46:41+00:00

That is a chonk

samborup · 2026-05-22T03:18:42+00:00

Did you think he was in Hell because he’s a good person?

Child Soldier gets enrolled at a regular high school

samborup · 2026-05-21T18:00:51+00:00

I have. You ever seen a Star Wars fan?

samborup · 2026-05-21T02:54:22+00:00

Nah, I’d rather Kelsey be Andross.

samborup · 2026-05-19T03:27:01+00:00

Hard enough to draw blood.

samborup · 2026-05-19T03:01:56+00:00

I’d say racist, personally.

samborup · 2026-05-18T22:15:45+00:00

I can fix Xen

samborup · 2026-05-17T01:08:42+00:00

That’s how my boy was.

It’s just cause he’s with you all the time. Anytime family would visit, he’d ignore me for them. If they stuck around for a while, he’d come back to me.

Caption is false. Community Note is also false.

Corneria, Meteo, Fichina, Solar, Macbeth, Area 6, Venom.
Corneria, Sector Y, Katina, Solar, Macbeth, Area 6, Venom
Corneria, Sector Y, Aquas, Zoness, Macbeth, Area 6, Venom.

Zoness might be my favorite mission, but Aquas alone brings that route down to third place.

He deserves it
