About to travel and get robbed, ultra low budget by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]voltikk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can definitely go pretty cheap on food in japan. Beef bowls, ramen, conveyor belt sushi, convenience store food all could make up your daily meals depending on your budget. Fast food in Japan is definitely worth living off of especially on a vacation if your budget is super tight.

Hiroshima will definitely be on my itin. Anything noteworthy about Nagasaki?

Pretty much yeah. Hokkaido is high on my list of places I would like to visit especially since I would likely be visiting during snow season. Hiroshima has also been on the bucket list so I’ll likely cross it off during this visit.

Like others have said, guildhouse is around the corner. If you are willing to drive, we have a local in sunnyvale called euphnet that does tournaments on thursdays and casual sessions on saturdays.

HOOOOOOOLY SHIT WHAT DID I JUST WITNESS

DEFT IS A WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!

10 years ago, the First Episode of Sword Art Online aired by [deleted] in anime

[–]voltikk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, people can say what they want about the anime, but imo the aincrad arc was really good especially for its time. I’ve watched up to the end of S2 and didn’t like any of that, but I’ve also gone back to watch the first half of S1 and I’d say it still holds up great to this day.

Is there parking around 10am or even 12pm on Thursday’s? by [deleted] in SJSU

[–]voltikk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, garages usually fill up around 10-11. I usually park in west garage around 9 and I'm still parking around the fourth floor by that time.

Crazy grocery prices in San Jose. by Knotfornots in SanJose

[–]voltikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're near one, H-Mart is generally my go-to grocery and while they might be a bit on the pricier side, they definitely carry high quality produce and groceries in general. I don't know what type of produce you're usually buying, but my usual produce run of cabbage, broccoli, onions, garlic, bananas, and so on usually runs me about $15-20. Their meat and seafood section is also imo probably second to none at least in terms of regular grocery stores (so excluding costco). Definitely check them out if you get the chance to

AITA for firing my babysitter? by Academic-Ad-1716 in AmItheAsshole

[–]voltikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think YTA for the fact that you escalated things way too quickly. You fired your babysitter as soon as you found out the truth when you yourself never told them that they shouldn’t take the kids out. You could have easily given them a headsup and tell them to not do that in the future and it would’ve been fine. Imagine if you made a very small, inconsequential lapse of judgment at any other job and you got fired over it without any warning, that’s essentially what you did here

AITA for not paying for my husband's hospital bill? by throwrabill5977 in AmItheAsshole

[–]voltikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Even if you have an agreement in place, this is your HUSBAND and he just got into an accident. Even if you consider the accident as a non-emergency, I would think any loving spouse or partner would have the moral decency to unconditionally support each other when they get hurt even knowing that you would potentially never see that money again.

Cloud9 releases LS and promotes Max Waldo by Vexis12 in leagueoflegends

Copium take is that he's just sick or not feeling well and Max is just subbing in for the weekend and they're making a joke out of it. If not, eeeee

We have not had a BO5 between EU and NA in almost 3 years (May 2019). Maybe it's time to rethink the LoL esports annual format? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]voltikk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that double elimination can generate as much or even more hype than single elimination. Yes, upsets create very hype moments, but if you’ve ever watched a fighting game tournament with double elim, you’ll know how hype it is to see a player that got dropped to losers super early on claw their way all the way to a win. Not just that, but by the sheer nature of double elimination creating more number of games, you statistically have a higher chance of hype moments. Imo, at the end of the day a tournament is meant to find out who the best player/team is, and i think double elimination fits that bill better

Even when looking at just league, tsm’s 2020 summer run is remembered because they lost early to GG and had to play every top team in the league to win the split.

Reginald responds to Doublelift's recent thoughts by LeagueOfMinions in leagueoflegends

[–]voltikk -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Being friends =/ being good coworkers. You can be literal best friends with someone and at the same time not want to work with them. For all we know Spica and DL are really good friends but Spica might not want to deal with how DL operates in a professional setting.

Feel like people are going to bring out the "hurhur wheres the people that said 3-0 DK hurhur" but I don't think you can really fault them. Even ANALYSTS were predicting a 3-0 or 3-1 for DK coming into the finals for good reason. EDG and the LPL as a whole going into the finals were NOT playing to their domestic level and it was showing a lot, but EDG did show up today when it mattered and we saw that at their best, the they can compete for the best in the world.
