I have all perks on level 6 and i still can't get past wave 8 on hard, while on KF2 i used to go through suicidal solo without much trouble. Old games sure don't f around with difficulty, lmao.
Imagine being Oda, glazing the old generation for literal DECADES, just to have some people (who can't read, with all due respect) putting Kaido and Big Mom above them... We, old gen wankers, are never wrong. The most profitable agenda in the whole story.
Kaido is not making top 20 EoS. He's not past old gen, current Luffy would've already surpassed him if he didn't had the G5 stamina issue, yet some people say he can beat Roger, Xebec, Whitebeard, Loki... Wtf.
Ray / Gaban are still above YC1+ tier. They're closer to admiral lvl than them, even in old age.
I'm reading the commentaries of Hsuan Hua on "Shastra on the door to understanding the hundred dharmas" by Vasubanhdu, and, during the introduction section (page 3), Hsuan presents interesting viewpoints regarding the modern teachings (or teachers) of the Dharma, specially in the West:
"Before explaining THE SHASTRA ON THE DOOR TO UNDERSTANDING THE HUNDRED DHARMAS, I would first like to level a criticism. From what I have seen and heard of people in the West who explain the Buddhadharma, if you were to ask them what THE SHASTRA ON THE DOOR TO UNDERSTANDING THE HUNDRED DHARMAS is, what reply would they give? They would not say a word. Now, that would definitely not be as when Manjushri Bodhisattva asked Upasaka Vimalakirti what truth in the primary sense was, and Upasaka Vimalakirti did not say anything at all. His not speaking itself was truth in the primary sense. If he had spoken, truth in the primary sense would have vanished. So he really did express truth in the primary sense by his silence. But the hundred dharmas are not the same as truth in the primary sense. They must be spoken. If instead of speaking you close your mouth, close your eyes, and put on a big show of studying truth in the primary sense, you're wrong. That's because the very fact that there are one hundred kinds of dharmas means they have to be expressed. Without speaking there is no way to represent those hundred dharmas. But the reason the Western "speakers of Dharma" pull the silent act is that they simply do not understand them. Not to speak of one hundred, they couldn't even expound a single dharma. Since they can't explain even one, they have nothing to say. All they can do is go into some kind of tight-lipped, mystic-eyed trance. Wouldn't you say that was sad? But although there is not a single dharma they understand or speak, still they go outside the hundred dharmas to talk about "Dharma" left and right, up and down. And people who don't understand the Buddhadharma say, "That person can really speak Dharma." But as soon as people who already understand the Buddhadharma hear him, they say, "What is that nonsense all about? He's just singing a song." "
I found this very interesting and truthful, specially since i've already seen and, unfortunately, was "teached" by some of these fake masters, who reduce all the Dharma to mere silence and spontaneity, without ever explaining in depth the dharmas the Buddha thought in the Sutras. What do you guys think about it? Should the teaching of Dharma not resort to in depth explanations and conceptualizations?
Sorry for my bad language, i'm just really frustrated. I studied my ass off for years and yet i feel like i absorved very little of all i've seen during these 4 years. If you tell me to do a electronics project from scratch, i won't be able to do it, for example. Do you guys feel that way too or am i just overreacting?
