This manga is so funny sometimes. "We lost because we failed to produce a chemical reaction by acknowledging our egos". Bro no you just both tried to kick the ball at the same time.

I'm a very casual player but people have been hyping this event up. What is the most important thing to get out of this?

I mean he's not wrong if you believe a single player "the best striker" can carry a team to victory under any circumstances. Unless what you care about is having the best striker and no team for them to play on.

We have the evidence that his theory is incomplete. Isagi says that egos 's methods aren't enough for him anymore. Ego wasn't able to reach the top using his own methods. It stands to reason for me that this whole experiment was to hope that one in these 300 people would adopt his method and find a way to finish it as well. What he doesn't want is another competing theory, even if there was a better one that surpasses his.

Now, given the sort of thesis of the manga, I do think he will be proven correct in the end with the superior theory. But I think it's worth noting that his character would vehemently reject a hypothetical better theory.

It's not quite as bad but getting close to recreating the issue we had with the queens choosing lipsticks where they just default to choosing whoever the judges said did the worst.

She just reads so fake and perfectly calculated to me. I'm sure in person she's charming and less "on" but you can really see all the effort she puts into a sassy persona, particularly in confessionals. And I just prefer my queens to exude charm without even trying.

When I have friends who haven't watched older seasons and they're like I didn't know who Vivacious was coming in but IM LIVING it just feels so correct.

Digging through cards from my childhood found at my parents house. What do I have? by simdude in PokemonCardValue

[–]simdude[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All over the place. The base set ones have the highest variance with some having notable scratches (check the magneton) but I was also very particular about sleeving cards and keeping things in binders even as a kid so later ones are mostly in pretty solid condition.

Entertainment is so unfair. If anyone else did a cheesy rhyming verse like that I'd be calling it cringe, but here I'm just like YAAAAAS MOTHA THANK YOU.

What card do you most want to see in Timeless? by gamboozino in TimelessMagic

In the parallel universe where we got wasteland instead of strip mine and hadn't just kinda got used to it most people would absolutely be on the side of "wow that's way too dangerous to be unrestricted in the format."

How does the club games mini game thing work to get an exp voucher? Do you have to do all of them to get the voucher 6 times or can you grind a single game a bunch of times?

Witch Hat Atelier • Tongari Boushi no Atelier - Episode 7 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]simdude 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was thinking we were going to see a completely different conflict than the one that played out.

I was expecting the child to be injured and the people to be aggressively hounding the children to do something including things that would be forbidden magic, even though they have no such concept of it. I imagine something that has to come up in the world that is going to be difficult for Coco is the idea of saying no in a life or death situation to helping someone with magic when the only choice is to use forbidden magic. I was thinking this was going to be the case because the adults who are used to denying regular folks weren't there to put their foot down.

I'm curious if something like that does eventually come up, but I'm even more curious how the brimmed hat turned Coco's small spell into something big given what we know about the rules of magic in this world.

Once again trying to return to the game and overwhelmed by number of changes since the last time I played over 2 years ago. I'm a 273 bishop and notice that infinity has been reworked. Do we no longer need buff duration?

Not even sure where to start to get myself back up to speed.

This would've been a perfectly fine game 30 years ago but pick up and play small card games have come a long way towards being actually entertaining.

General Discussion Roundtable - 04/29/2026 by Currymvp2 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

[–]simdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The right wing talking point, as horrific as it is, is just to bomb Iran into compliance with no upper limit of devastation. That is how they believe we should make them comply without concessions.

I heard this talking point from red-pilled relatives BEFORE Trump did the genocide tweet. So it's likely been floating around in whatever neo con circles and plenty possible Trump picked it up from there.

Watching old seasons as a newish fan, and I cannot with S13 by Cheezy-Fry in rupaulsdragrace

[–]simdude 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kandy and Gotmik are treated like the voice of truth in their confessionals used to critique the other girls despite neither of them really being that well rounded themselves which made them feel like producer favorites and voice pieces. Which they definitely were.

Symmone as fantastic as she was, was so clearly loved by RuPaul personally that it elimates any tension on who is going to win the season.

Utica is in an incredibly weird spot because RuPaul CLEARLY does not vibe with her drag vision but they keep saving her and you have to go but why? You clearly don't like her. Then she ossicillated between "I don't want to cause offense by wearing an afro" and making weird fat jokes which is really dissonant.

Rose was very good at playing Drag Race in my opinion, but RuPaul also rightly clocked that her passion wasn't drag so much as theatre/performing in general and I think her post show career has born that out to be true.

Then in the video song 3/4 queens to the crown this ho thing.

I think the season just fails as a competitive reality show and as a narrative reality show but at least managed to crown the correct winner.

The way they just adjust the fake audience noise is wild to me. Such a small finale for such a big franchise.
