Belief in loser's queue is a coping mechanism

They believe a large portion of their total games are algorithmically determined outcomes, be it win or lose, so their personal agency is less of a factor than what the game has decided they will get. They're basically queueing in hopes for Riot to feed them their scheduled dopamine pill. 🤡

Gigaton Mallet

The user puts their hands together and swings their arms, at which point a giant mallet appears that carries the speed and momentum in the direction the user is swinging. The mallet itself has no extra properties other than being a very heavy mallet that would normally be difficult to lift.

Rather than relying on complicated restrictions, this ability aims to make use of the nature of conjuration, since objects can continually be deconjured and reconjured at will. So an otherwise difficult weapon to use becomes very powerful through sheer physics.

How sad to believe in loser's queue and still play

You're saying the game manufactures wins and losses to maximize addiction and they succeeded at making you addicted. You wouldn't catch me playing a game I thought was that rigged. But then again even if you quit, whatever other game you go to will cause you to tilt and you'll believe there's a loser's queue there too.

Why doesn't Broly take damage?

Before his strength even catches up, he's practically unscathed from taking hits that are many multiple times stronger than him at the moment. Is his durability passively at peak?

It's incredible the difference 4 days off makes

Every week feels like heaven. I have time to do all the things I need to do and have time for myself. I can have a day where I do literally nothing and I won't feel guilty, because things just don't pile up like they used to.

At work, I've eliminated the dreadful monday feeling. Work feels like it's just something to give my week structure so I don't end up spending 7 days in my pajamas eating icecream. So I kinda look forward to my work day just to feel productive.

I started baristafire with the plan of someday moving on to full FIRE, but I'm thinking I could do baristafire indefinitely and be happy. For context, I baristafired 9 months ago. I work nights at a hotel 3 nights a week.

Yea I'm not reading all that

It's always an amalgamation of text in different sizes and styles boxed into every corner of the page, like it's fighting with itself for your attention.

Do you get irrational fears of someone breaking in?

Sometimes when I'm by myself at night, I'll hear a random noise or just look through the dark, and just get an irrational fear that someone might break in. The scariest thing for me would be to walk into a room and see a human figure standing there. I'm hoping this goes away with time as I transition to living alone soon.

Vanishing from Pitou's perception as a speed feat

Pitou was able to see Netero's prayers, or at least follow the afterimages, but Adult Gon totally perception blitzed Pitou to the point where she looked around the room in confusion. Not even an afterimage to track. That may not have even been Gon's top speed given how everything he was doing in that scene was low effort. But at the very least that dodge must've scaled beyond Netero's hands.

Who's the weakest character that can tank "Countdown"

Without using exorcism or other trick, which character has the raw stats to tank a Countdown explosion from the bombers?

Would Mokichi have beaten Ohma in round 1?

His performance against Raian was pretty impressive. Base Ohma was getting completely rolled by base Raian, who wasn't even using Kure family techniques. Meanwhile, Mokichi was beating base Raian who WAS using kure techniques, which forced him to use Removal.

Mokichi would probably steamroll base Ohma up until Ohma used the Advance. The question is if Mokichi would get as overwhelmed as he did against Raian in the second half of the fight.

Can we talk about how OP this move is?

Usually when it's two characters with similar super strength and durability, they exchange blows as if they were both normal strength relative to each other. But then there's this hand strike. Every time a Viltrumite does this karate chop spear hand move, it's like they got a long sword that just negs the opponent's durability way beyond any of the other attacks.

Falling Rock

The user conjures a gigantic rock. Its size, weight, and density depends on how much aura the user poured on the conjuration. The rock appears wherever the user's hand is extended.

The rock has no additional conditions. It's a giant rock that crushes anyone beneath it with sheer mass and weight. It can be used offensively when the user conjures it while jumping above an opponent, or defensively as a shield to block attacks. The rock can't move, but it can be deconjured and reconjured at will.

Spitfire

A hypothetical hatsu for Koala.

He uses enhancement for further pressurize the water he shoots, while his hatsu increases the volume of water in his bottle, allowing far more ammo than the container would normally store.

Adult Gon could be way "older" than we think

He looks like he's aged to his 30s, but this could very well be what he'll look like in his 60s. Given that enhancement can slow the aging process, we don't know how far Gon could've maintained his youthful peak, which would allow him way more training time at that peak. This might not be the result of 10 or 20 years or training, but rather something like 50.

Would Walt and Chuck been friends?

I think an interaction between these two characters would've been fascinating, since they're both considered geniuses in their respective fields.

I wish the passive lasted 1 second longer

Pathing from Krugs to Raptors has an extremely thin window where you can barely reach a small raptor to keep the passive up. I even see Hybradge miss it from time to time. It falls off just as Voli swings his arm because it's such a small window.

I'm a serial procrastinator

I think it's my worst quality. I'd say I'm pretty capable with the things I put my mind into, but the hardest part has always been getting started. When I was in school, I used to procrastinate on schoolwork while at the same time feeling anxiety that I'm going to fail. It's contradictory and I'm aware of it, but it still happens.

I am fortunate that my current job is mostly just doing immediate tasks instead of working with deadlines, but procrastination still impacts other aspects of my life.
