I'm stuck in post endwalker MSQ because even with artifact gear I don't have the ilvl to do the first dungeon because I had no idea what Hunts were till now and I need Nuts to buy the accessories >_>

i have like zero motivation for that farm. If I wait till Dawntrail to resub can I buy the accessories/gear from a tome vendor like what I've been able to do up until now

Wait what? Just buy stuff from the market board. Or ask someone in Limsa Lominsa for help, you're bound to get some assistance gearing up and even a party to run with you.

Lets FUCKING do this.

Wait, you all hate him? Wasn't he the guy who exposed all those war crimes or did I miss something?

Monster No.8?

Literally forgot it was even called this since in Japan we just call it Kaiju Hachigou.

This. With Chaos Emeralds, he's pretty much a Super Saiyan, that's literally what Super Sonic was designed to be. And none of those characters seem readily equipped to deal with that kind of speed.

Even without the emeralds, Sonic's up there, specifically because none of these characters are Flash-esque threats. He might win regardless, but Super Sonic just makes it a wash.

One of his shticks is being a supposedly better/smarter gamer than most people and he regularly makes fun of people for being bad

No it isn't. If you've watched him you know he specifically states that he isn't really a good gamer. He's said that a hundred times lol.

It's great. Just caught up on the latest episode. I kinda identify with the main character including his age

I really like the fact that he's my age too. Haven't caught up yet, on episode 5 or something. But I like the pacing even though there hasn't been as much action yet.

Orange Piccolo's power scales comparatively to the new forms, around Blue to Ultra Instinct, Ego and Beast. Meaning he's pretty much by far beyond universal level, multiversal if we're bringing in feats like TOP, Super Broly and the new manga chapters.

Including Orange Piccolo in this is too much, maybe don't go so far into Super or even late DBZ. Maybe just Namek saga to keep it fair.

I was very vehemently against it for a long time. Then I kept seeing stories of Israeli civilians and expats holding protests in support of the Palestinian genocide; of Israeli civilians attacking aid trucks; of Israeli civilians invading the West Bank. And very little about them making any efforts to resist or oppose it. It's very clear this is not simply a case of a rogue non-democratic government unlike what can be reasonably argued in relation to, say, Russian civilians; but that their attitude is very much reflected in the general population.

Yeah I've seen that same shit. Its sickening and extremely hard to keep an unbiased view on things after witnessing that. But then I remember there are Jews there who are more than happy to protest with their Palestinian brothers and sisters, and have seen several videos like that too.

Now to completely gauge the overall public opinion there is something way over my head.

You seem to be "not saying" a lot of defenses of nationalism. There were people on GameFAQs making flat out genocidal statements about Russians ("Sure it's sad that it happened, but Russians have been bred through generations to be violent tyrant followers, innocent Russians help Putin by existing and we have to kill them" was an actual sentiment I saw multiple people express, and I'm still disgusted that GameFAQs didn't ban them for it), that wasn't okay either.

I say that a lot since some users tend to use what you say against you, so I try to be super specific. Looks like that didn't work out here either.

I was one of the people against the Russians being treated like that by the way. Just pointing out it's not the Israelis that only suffer this.

Hell it could be seen as the standard discrimination we've seen before. Against Arabs and Muslims after 9/11, Russians after Ukraine and now this.

Trumble posted...

It's wrong, but it's so insignificant compared to what Israel are doing (and what a very significant majority of its citizens support) in Palestine that it just isn't worth getting upset over.

I would have disagree with that until I met an actual Israeli Zionist here in Japan. He supports Netanyahu and the Israeli government in general. Also says a lot of his friends and family think the same.

I'd like to think its just a small portion of them like that, but I don't know enough to make a judgement. Still disheartening to see.

There's so many forms of piccolo, i assume most mean piccolo Jr. Still doesn't make a huge difference cause i think others could take him.

This is a character on the level of casual planet busters at the least in early DBZ. Just want to ask how the others could handle that >_>

Literally putting a Dragon Ball character there invalidates the whole poll >_>

And from what I know, Orange Piccolo is canon, Even without that, he stomps. Probably Saiyan saga Piccolo would be enough and that's being generous.

McMarbles posted...

This is not criticizing Israel. This is discrimination on basis of national origin. Wed be pissed off if it was literally against any other nationality.

It happened to the Russians recently, from what I remember people were fine with it online. Not saying its justifiable, but it did happen to them too.

archizzy posted...

Ignoring the direction this topic took I just dont know how its possible to make it to adulthood without ever having a crush on someone. Like growing up all through school and your formative years. Like how do you even get out of Elementary school without it happening multiple times?

That is what has me blown away.

I have thought other people were cute. But to fall head over heels over a girl, or strongly feel for someone at first sight has never happened to me. Again, maybe with an actress, but that's not in real life. So I never believed in crushes.

People have told me the same thing you're saying before. I've had relationships, normal interactions ect. But a crush I thought was always subjective to an extent.

Or were they always shit.

They blew it away with Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and the Fallout series, up to Vegas.

A lot of controversy with fallout 4. Paid mods ect. Then 76 came out. They fucked up everything regarding the surrounding situation with that game. Duffel bags, doxxing customers, cheating them out of things, bugs, shitty game in general ect ect.

Now Starfield was a mediocre experience. Not really genre defining despite the hype. To top it off, they're coming back with paid mods.

GuerrillaSoldier posted...

yep, pretty creepy. i mean, if you were like a teenager, it would be an understandable kind of creepy. but the chances are you're a grown ass man, and so then it's just creepy.

If only I could go back to my usual topics, you'd definitely approve >_>

Persona posted...

man what kind of life have you lived that you got no fucking clue what a crush is

you're smitten then. just say you're smitten

Thats a good answer, maybe just talk normally before going crazy over a guy you never met online. Geezus >_>

Edit: I just looked it up, smitten and crush are usually interchangable, with some definitions placing it above a crush. So yeah, it doesn't help

Persona posted...

what the fuck does that even mean, you got that other guy saying you creepypost most of the time, you yourself say you only post girls you think are attractive, you sound like a belligerent horndog and having a crush on this girl just cause you like how she looks when you have literal 0 idea who she is as a person is fuckin wacky

Calm down dude, why are you getting so uptight on a topic in CE? I forgot half the time some of you are pretty unhinged lol.

I like attractive girls so I used to post them here, thats all. Why does that bother you so much?

Again I'm posting this but I gotta clarify, I think having crushes and love at first sight is bullshit. Always thought that till last night. Still do but damn, that was an experience.

Persona posted...

to any sane person you gotta at least kinda know someone to crush on them, even if it's only in a parasocial way

Really? Then whats the feeling you have when you see someone and instantly fall for them?

Persona posted...

you come back here and see her a couple times a week for a month chat and get a tiny bead on her personality then maybe you could have a non crazy crush

I don't think it's crazy to fall for someone based on one meeting, or even from first sight. Looks are a huge factor in attractiveness.

Persona posted...

dude thinking you're crushing because you saw someone once and thought they were cute is lunatic behavior

What's a crush in your mind? I don't think I've ever experienced one before >_>

Edit: So many definitions, calling this lunatic behaviour is kinda wild. You must have met really nice people in your life if you think this is lunatic lol

I mean the only other crush I've had (I think) is on an actress, never someone in real life. Which is why this hits different.

TC can you check me out?

She has a tripod up somewhere hidden, so the second you talk to her she'll use you as content for her Tiktok.

Trumble posted...

Yeah, I've reached the point where I can no longer feel any sympathy in cases like this. Israel can fuck off out of Palestine first, then we can talk about these kind of minor (by comparison) issues. Until then, meh, I no longer care. Wouldn't do the same myself (unless they were outright pushing propaganda or were IDF members, rather than just from the country) but not gonna lose sleep over it happening.

Yeah by comparison this is a non-issue with whats been going on in Palestine. Totally agree.

This definitely counts as hornyposting. And creepy posting.

If thats the case, I'll stop >_>

Maybe birthrates wouldnt be so low if they let their idols fuck.

Pretty sure some of them do behind the scenes >_>

I actually had a Lucid dream triggered last night because of this. No joke.

MorbidFaithless posted...

Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa said it is "unacceptable" to refuse accommodation on the basis of nationality.

I thought that happened all the time in Japan??

I guess Israel has a pass as always? Governments seem to bend backwards spreading their asses open whenever Israel is involved, so there's that.

Necronmon posted...

Disgraceful.

Depends on your point of view I guess. People have a harder time entering other countries simply because of where they're from in the first place. Recently Arsalan Ash, a Pakistani Tekken champion, constantly has Visa issues because he's a brown Asian.

How is this any different? Probably more justifiable because Israel, the country the person is from, is literally committing genocidal acts. Not really entirely aimed at the person itself, but the country. Just like what happened to Russia.

Food for thought. Is either scenario justifiable? Who knows. Personally I don't think so but I also hate Israel more for what they're doing. So that's more important overall.

Finished episode 1. So far it gives me Chainsaw man vibes, but I think it's better so far.

Like what other people said online, I think they're a psyops from big oil companies to make them look better. There's no other explanation for a group of people to act this unhinged and nonsensical.

When did this happen, did I miss something? Or is it just the Youtube in Japan?

I despise having crushes. Not only is it super distracting, but it's extra frustrating knowing I'd never be good enough for them.

It really was on me, not being able to focus lol. Not blaming the girl at all, she was really nice when I spoke to her.

HorsemnBusiness posted...

I always get stalker vibes from you.

This is literally the one time I've spoken about being attracted to a girl in real life like this. What part of my posting history gives stalker vibes? All I posted was hot idols and girls.

Unless that automatically makes me a stalker >_>

Damn it I couldn't focus on my story.

SomeLikeItHoth posted...

Not really. There's only 28 episodes with each episode being about 24 minutes long.

Hmm guess I'll give it a try along with Kaiju Hachigou.

Eh I get it, different tastes.

One last try, my favourite song >_>

https://youtu.be/S4gEJIyLHlM?si=cCh3lItQHQmvwGEW

Currently at a starbucks and one of the employees is absolutely beautiful (I'm not hornyposting mods, just describing my feelings).

I don't think I've crushed on a woman for a long time irl. Probably never. But geez this girl is distracting. I came here to work on my story and I keep glancing her way. Dammit.

She's the splitting image of Nana Komatsu.

Tbh that looks ugly asf. Jeans always been hot >_>

Yup, been living here for months. Got Two girls LINE, one co-worker and a university girl. There's also a married co-worker at work that I'm 90% sure is into me >_>

Lol nope, no can-can. There is a part in the routine where they just lift it up. I remember it being pretty controversial.

Anyway, I thought the 46 groups were better. Their music was less screechy jpop girl, and had better melodies. I actually really like Mirage, Synchronicity, and Silent Majority.

Synchronicity and Silent Majority are top tier <3. The Keyaki era with Yurina man...

My favourite song (and of all time) is probably Naze Koi though. Something about it just hits perfectly for me.

I went Green on black in colours representing my favourite group. When they rebranded, I went red on black, to represent their new colours >_>

So wholesome

_____Cait posted...

Nah I know the 46 groups. I discovered them back in 2017 during uhhhhhh Eccentric and Silent Majority. I think they are ok, better than 48 anyway. Shampoo is really weird and gives off heavy creeper dogwhistles though.

Oh wait, that was the song when Ikoma Rina was still centre right? Totally forgot about that one >_>

Weren't they just doing the can can dance in it? When they were lifting up their skirts lol.

mustachedmystic posted...

Fuck, sometimes when I see these topics, despite knowing better I try to listen to the song, and I cannot make it more than a minute. That shit is so fucking bad, it is worse than listening to Sum 41, and I cannot overemphasize how much I dislike Sum 41.

Try out some of their better songs:

If not then its probably just not your taste in music, which is fine. Idol music isn't for everyone, although I'd like to think Sakurazaka46 is pretty different to a lot of them.
