Lurker > Nemu

Yes, but I'd be doing it for my family rather than particularly caring about humanity as a whole.

If they're creating content that far exceeds the scope of the original game, you can't really complain about them charging out the ass for it. If they're charging $5 for a furniture color swap or something, then yeah, that's shitty.

It should go away, but that's not an excuse to not do it.

This isn't an investment not panning out. This is the government putting people in a no win situation and not providing support to either party.

The show could have picked up a different niche without him, so it's hard to say how it would have gone. He definitely carried it for better or worse.

Defying fate shouldn't be easy.

They kinda literally killed fate already.

They're already going so far off the rails that it'd be pointless to kill her. There cannot be a soul going into that game who's not spoiled on it already, so subverting expectations is the best way to go.

Any context as to the content being posted? To my understanding, it was a rather mild movement, but wouldnt be surprised if the outspoken incel shit just infected it.

Do airlines really not have some kind of restraint protocol? You think they'd carry proper restraints for random emergencies.

2nd half the series isn't horrible, but it's horrible compared to the first half. It's not enough to not recommend the series, but it's certainly a bummer that the author couldn't stick the landing.

The difference being none of us are pro tennis players while Hubbard is a transgender pro weight lifter who lost against other woman.

Advantage does not imply domination. Inherent advantage in this case means one has to put in less effort to achieve similar or greater results than one's peers.

Pre-timeskip would probably have trouble, but I don't see post-timeskip One Piece characters having much trouble. Meruem can certainly out think Luffy, but he really doesn't have anything that'd damage him to any great extent even if you give him his full range of abilities.

I'm kinda just stockholmed into it at this point, but I wouldn't really describe it as good. It's just not as bad as it was at launch, which is kind of the thing for any mildly popular one at this point.

It's entirely possible for someone mentally ill to pick up being trans or another life transition due to their mental imbalance making them feel like they have to do so, but it's kind of impossible to actually know the truth unless they come out with it.

Requiring consistency with in-universe rules is hardly a demanding thing. If basic logic can break down the story, then the story is either for toddlers or not a very good story in the first place.

No idea where they're getting that number. There are probably 50 specials and movies at most, so it'd be more like 1030-ish even if they count those.

Anime is overall pretty shitty once you reach a certain point. They're always running so close to the manga that there's tons of pointless filler, or even worse, literal 5-10 minute recaps of the previous episode during W7 and EL, like the episode literally starting at the ten minute mark bad. I'd focus on the manga if you like the series.

If dude was reckless, how is he now at his home and no one in danger?

You do realize the majority of drunk drivers make it home right? That doesn't mean they aren't a danger. They deserve to be arrested. I'm of the opinion that they should have backed off, but that's an entirely different point from him possibly having driven dangerously.

If someone calls the police on you, justified or not, do you have the right to tell the police to fuck off? Unless they were just making it up as a means of harassing the guy, which I assume should be on record if it's real, seems like they should be in their rights to question him. Unless he has a really bad anger issue, he definitely seems like he could be drunk. Though I feel like the police should have backed off to deescalate the situation.

Definitely wrong about Iron Man. RDJ is probably one of the biggest reasons why Iron Man and the MCU blew up. Now there certainly could have been other actors that filled the role just as well, but there are also others who would have done a passable but not stellar job at it like RDJ as well. Iron Man easily could have been a Thor, passable but hardly as popular, or even worse, a Hulk, with the wrong actor.

The actual word means pervert. The loan word usage is unique to English.

Have any of those sites that do pointless math equations covered the hypothetical energy and resource cost that it'd take? I'd have to imagine the cost of launching even 1% of the trash on earth into deep space would like take all of the world's resources and probably speed up global warming by 10000% or something.

I got to the end of path of pain and forgot those enemies do double damage and died. But I consider getting to the end good enough.

Dr Slump was the gag manga. Db wasn't super serious, like z became, it had gags, but it clearly wasn't a gag like Dr. Slump, it was a take on journey to the west. When it covered the entirety of journey to the west, it of course had to find something else.

Part of the gag with one punch man, is how serious and far they take the gag. Everything is taken too seriously, so much so, that it circles back around to goofy. They take it all the way, the gag, is taken to it's final form. He is the end of the line for shit that's just gotten out of control.

He is the one punch man.

No matter what, ever, he can beat it with one punch, and will end up disappointed and depressed about it.

DB was a mid-way point between gag and serious, leaning heavily towards gag at the start and then slowly shedding it as the fighting picked up. There were plenty of nonsensical 4th wall breaking gags in the early part of it, but those were slowly forgotten in lieu of the more serious tone of the series. OPM is exactly the same. Early chapters are simply the gag. Then ONE slowly builds the universe, justifies Saitama's power with the limiter stuff and the obsession producing power stuff. The gag will never go away in OPM obviously, but the gag is not his power. The gag is how his power is used.

That IS the series internal consistent logic.

Here's your formula for any and all variables for all time forever:

X=any and all variables for all time forever:
OP=One punch from one punch man.

What will happen=X<OP

It is very consistent.

No, you're just taking the term gag too literally. DB was also a gag manga that slowly developed consistent structure and then just as slowly dumped that structure later on as AT gave less and less of a fuck.

He has already broken through every cap, that's his literal personal hell, it's the entire main fundamental premise of the character, and manga. He's the end result of every character that had to go to even more over the top power creep to stand out from last characters that had out of control power creep, because the characters from the manga before them had out of control power creep. He is the inevitable last result of that line of progression.

He is the one punch man. It's a very straightforward and literal name for the manga.

Yes, we have established the premise of the series several times now. That doesn't mean the series doesn't have its own consistent internal logic that can be translated to any series abiding by similar logic. The only thing that cannot be translated are unknown variables.

Is the OPM anime over? He really never got a challenge?

I've only seen a few episodes but I thought it was neat

It's web comic adapted into a manga adapted into an anime. The web comic and manga are still ongoing. The anime's disappointing second season reached a break point and the manga has yet to reach a good point for further adaptation.

He literally accidentally busted into a mental space time dimension dude.

The entire premise of the comic is a gag man. It's a parody of the recent era of pop culture power creep manga like Naruto, dbz, and bleach.

He's the one punch man. He is the end of power creep.

It's a joke. It's ALL a joke. Super powerful sperm, homeless god emperor. Fucking bike guy. Come on dude, just get it lol.

And? That's still within the logic of the universe. He's just a level 99999999 character in a world where the highest leveled person is like 100000. He's broken through a cap, but not through logic itself (yet at least). It's a comedy gag series, but you're ignoring that the author abides by set rules and logic. The joke is one of broken expectations, not broken logic.

Saitama, one punch man, is a traditional completely nonsensical gag character, planted in a way too serious to actually be serious parody of what you think it is lol.

It is absolutely a joke. A parody.

No, the author has set up a universe in which the character makes sense. The character defies the logic of the characters in the universe, but not the logic of the universe itself (yet at least). The gag is that he exceeds everything around him to such a great extent with little relative effort, but the strength itself is not a gag other than how he achieved it. Traditional gag characters simply ignore things like physics and continuity, which is why you cannot translate them into other worlds without having to turn off the logic of the other universe. Saitama is simply unquantified, which is why any discussion of relative strength is useless.

Disengaged posted...

The meta IS the premise of the character, he is the one punch man, that's the entire gag the comic is based off of. How bad it would actually suck, to be the one punch man.

His power level is literally powerful enough to beat whatever is in front of him, (literally, enter any character or anything in this space), with one punch.

The end.

No, he's someone so strong that he is unable to find challenge in his world, which is the trigger for the gag. You're weirdly conflating the two, which is especially weird because OPM is not a traditional completely nonsensical gag series.

You can't measure up to a character like Saitama with feats. It doesn't matter what the feats are. That's the premise of his character.

Saitama can never, ever, ever have a personal Win, feel personal satisfaction or validation, which means he can never ever ever come close to losing a fight.

No matter what stands in front of him, or how absurdly powerful it is, it will never be anything but disappointingly trivial for Saitama to overcome.

Saitama can never winie experience what he desires, or he will no longer be Saitama, which means Saitama can never lose a fight, or even come close.

Whatever goku does, whatever power he brings today, or tomorrow, will be comically overpowered as trivial by a very depressed Saitama, regaurdless of what feats have been shown so far in his own publication.

It's what the character is. It's the one punch man.

You do not want to be, the one punch man.

You're conflating the meta with his power. If his actual power is ever revealed to be "to have the quality of being stronger than the strongest being in the world by a wide margin," then you can argue that. But the whole thing at the moment is that his stats are just so off the chart that he dwarfs everything in his universe. Then from there, his inability to be serious is a consequence of those high stats. If you're trying to translate the logic of the character being dropped into another world, the meta does not go along with the character unless the character's power is literally that of the meta.

I don't even remember the right one exists 99% of the time.

Until Saitama's powerlevel is fully defined, it's a pointless discussion unless you want to go "lol gag > serious." Saitama's feats of strength are nothing in the grand scheme of DC's power levels, but for all we know the author could drastically raise the stakes at the end of the series.

Healthier introductions to porn is a good idea, but that's a horrible way of packaging it.

In a world with terrorists who can level city blocks and normal squishy human cops as their primary response, I cannot understand why anyone would be against vigilantes with the same kind of firepower.

Its a well fed Bear, once thats not taken care of that women is the first thing it wants to eat

A bear that is raised with humans would likely have to be hungry to the point of absolute starvation to want to eat them. The issue with non-domesticated animals is that they have hormonal shifts and habits that we're not used to and they don't have the benefit of hundreds or thousands of years of breeding such traits out of them. For any animal, they can be fine 99.99% of the time and have a one off issue just once in their life, but a one off issue with a large animal can be instantly fatal to a human due to them not having the awareness to control their strength.

I don't get why news sites even bother allowing comments at this point. It's generally the dumbest/vilest shit on the internet in between a bunch of useless comments that have no reason to even exist.

Hack who got way too much attention from both supporters and detractors, pretty much all to her benefit.

I don't think I've bought a game from them literally ever, but it honestly wouldn't really dictate my buying practices.

It was actually fairly fun as a time waster while watching videos.

I keep thinking he's faking it with some of them, but then I remember how many times he's been arrested and how little of a fuck he truly must give.

The recent war is definitely a very curious part of unexplored lore, but everything else is silly.

Slaking got me quaking

Sounds like something that was poorly handled, but the internet has to make an overly large deal about it on both sides per usual.

If you're in an active field and you're only eating once, you probably won't gain weight at least. If you're eating multiple meals per day, then you'll pack on the pounds quick unless you're in a super active field. Nutrition-wise, I have no clue as to how that'd affect you, but probably not the best either way.

Someone having an unfair advantage does not require domination. Relative performance in male and female leagues would be one indicator of fairness.

Gon in Tekken was pretty weird, but I guess he kind of fit in with the weird side characters.

Any species could evolve to be like us under very specific circumstances and millions/tens of millions of years. I'd say they have a decent capacity to develop greater intelligence, but I don't think they have the environment in which it would be necessary.

I'd leave before Karening it up, but I guess I'd commit to being a Karen at that point if I'm that far into it.

Gauges are one of the most unattractive normalized things recently.
