How much rubberbanding do you like? Do you like having the ability to recover from any position with a little luck or is it just a frustration that prevents you from competing on skill?

There are different degrees to it, though. Getting pulled back to a group of similar skill players is a lot easier to accept than getting pulled to the back of the pack because of something completely out of your control. In MK8 I've come close to double lapping people online and it's basically just doing a time trial at that point, which isn't a lot of fun. But then you've got MKWii where the first two laps feel totally pointless half the time because the whole race comes down to the last set of item boxes. Even when I do shoot from 12th to 1st it doesn't feel earned and the possibility that ranking manipulation might be the optimal strategy just feels wrong.

I think the goal should be to keep the tempo of the game up rather than to shuffle up the rankings. Keeping the pack together is good, but not at the expense of constantly forcing people to stop and wait for others to catch up.

I don't really see much rubberbanding in OJ, it just uses a deceptive progression system where normas get progressively harder to achieve. If you play towards the final goal, the only real redistribution mechanism is the bosses, but calculating that in is part of strategizing for each character. More of a balance thing for the retards who pick defensive characters than anything.

How's public transport around your area? We've talked about it before several times but it was more about theory/principles rather than the tangible state of affairs.

Recently a globetrotter train ota came by and his blogging did some bazuru locally, which I found fairly fun to read. His sasuga over old Toshiba-kun still working, saying a stop is otogibanashi no you na, his empanada food blog, and the comparisons he makes to other countries or the stuff he points out, very neat. You can read it here:
https://nitter.poast.org/taisetsukuzure (he's getting accosted)
There's a noticeable difference between the 80s Japanese cars and the modern Chinese ones, not just that each has its own runic inscriptions but that there's a tech difference of thirty years, like the fancy rail line map with lights, or Nagoya 5000's having a degree of asbestos. There's a ton of different batches operated concurrently, it's all over the place and a major pain in the ass financially and technically:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenos_Aires_Underground_rolling_stock
A subway line I usually take runs Mitsubishi Eidan alongside Spanish CAF 6000, and the most prominent difference for me is that the latter's seating consists groups of four inward plastic seats while the former has the usual long line of a single padded seat running across the side of the car that I find far more comfortable. Spanish ones also have funny doors that you have to open manually and individually by pulling a mini lever rather than all opening when stopping. It seems to be suited to something for fewer people to take compared to the typical crowded image of Japanese transport.

Stations likewise come in all shapes and sizes, like pic which is the one Taisetsu-san really liked from La Plata. Subway lines can have large tunnel walkways connecting each other and mini-malls, or even a genuinely connecting to an actual mall, and a lot of murals and paintings, very cool stuff. Though the smell can be horrible.

I heard my town recently got a service where you can call to be picked up and driven places during certain times, but I didn't really do any reading into it. There are a couple bus stops around here, but whenever I see a bus it's like 5% full with only a few people on it. I live near the line between a larger city (still small) and town (very small and I'm in the town) and I think the buses only drive on the streets which are technically the city. The bus stops have ads for Narcan which is an emergency medication to combat opiate ODs so it kind of tells you the atmosphere of the busing and why I'd only use it if my life was dependent on it.
I would like to visit a place where public transportation isn't, uhh.... like this one day.

The trains are very heavily loaded all the time because there is no parking space in the city and roads are difficult to navigate and drive.

Combined with the fact that there are like 3 sports teams in the city means that every day in the sports season the trains are filled with loud sports fans. Lots of them live in the far suburbs but they would rather park at the train stations and take the trains to the city than driving there.

I live in a university town so there's a relatively decent bus service for helping poorfags get around. I could probably get by my daily commute with that, but I've never had a reason to actually use it. Trains are for freight, putting people on them is a violation of their human rights.

File:06 - Bakemonogatari (Episo….jpg (183.45 KB,1697x787)

There's around 0 bus stops near me that I have knowledge of. In terms of trains there's the Northeast Corridor Line around 6 miles away without any really reliable walking route to it, and the roads are hazardous with people zipping along them so biking is a bit of a danger too. And it doesn't really take me anywhere more speedily than simply driving around to anywhere in a closer distance would take me.

There is one walkable konbini near me that my house has a mostly path to, it's around a mile walk. There's some nice plazas with restaurants and stuff too the other way around which is a bit over 3 miles walking, but runs into a similar problem as the train station in that all walking paths are gone at some point and there's no bike lanes so to bike I'd need to share the road/highway with drivers going ~50 mph. I don't really like the thought of trying that so I just drive everywhere. At the very least there's a lot of nice local shops/farms to drive to.

According to the happenings thread >>101080 , Ash's journey in Pokémon is finally ending. It's pretty impressive. He was doing it back when I was a kid, but here we are in 2022 and it's finally over.
It brings lots of thoughts to mind apart from nostalgia.

- I wish I was into Pokémon more. It's like the /mlp/ people on 4chan, there's a bunch of dorks involved, even around my age, that still keep the magic alive. Sure, there's a bunch of kids as there should be, but it's interesting to see older people around making references that only people of a certain age would get. It's hard to find good internet losers.

-Names. People on the English internet generally refer to him as Ash (like this thread) and the localization names for each Pokemon as well. Some names are the same, but many of them aren't. One of my favorite Pokémon is Bulbausaur and not Fushigidane. With the internet full of arguments over everything regards translations, it's strange how this never seems to crop up.

-Great games. I haven't played the most recent ones, but I've never played one I didn't love. I think the newer games allow you to see the Types so you didn't need to throw moves around randomly, which was really getting to be a problem when there are 1000 of them instead of 150.

-The games get a LOT of various ROMhacks. There's even that one Touhou one that's not a hack but a standalone game. Not just simple hacks, either, but very involved stuff and you could spend thousands of hours playing them all. I should look into them more and try some out.

-Pokégirls. I think everyone knows this, but this series has some of the best character designs around and has been consistent about it since its inception. The Asuka vs. Rei thing never seemed that interesting to me in comparison to the girls in Pokémon. Even the 'girl of the week' in the anime had more interesting people in them. Duplica the girl with the Ditto that couldn't transform its face sticks out to me. Brock getting a crush on every girl really made sense.

-Just a fantastic style in general. There are places like https://hirespokemon.tumblr.com/ where you can see the old concept art and it's truly beautiful. Sugimori is a true genius. Also apparently his name is used by people as a keyword to improve the qualityPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Oh, I may have heard of Gardevoir. Hmm, yes, I've seen some things.
But seriously the Gardevoir is one of my favorite lines. Gallade is one of my favorite Pokemon to play, although it kind of feels like cheating to have Fighting and Psychic moves at the same time. Also they look like plant types and I really like plant creatures in these games, although Grass seems kind of underwhelming when compared to some others. Really fun status stuff at least.

The English dub voice actress of Misty/Jessie/Jigglypuff passed away and I'm feeling unexpectedly saddened by it. Her voices were really quite amazing. Cancer...
I think Misty awakened a lot of boys to puberty and I was one of them. The strong personality tomboy type that has occasional glimpses of femininity or vulnerability like her fear of Bug types is really endearing. I think Misty permanently influenced my preferences.
Dubs these days are terrible, but some of the older ones were really something special. It feels like just like American 2D animation itself is gone, American dubbing has fallen into the abyss.
But, this stuff will always be there. Well, as long as you download it.

Surely, /qa/ recognizes this butt or on the other hand bulge, right? Nier and Automata were the only Yoko Taro games I'd actually played before deciding to go and finish each of them in their entirety. And while similar to Drakengard in story quality, the gameplay for these RPGs actually sucks you in.

So what experience or opinions does /qa/ have with the series, or Taro in general? Automata's got an anime out right now that I've been putting on hold until I beat everything, but maybe people have seen and enjoyed it as well.

For me. Keeping in mind pack of cigarettes = 20 here. Price for my preferred brand 20 years ago: $2.25. Price when I stopped smoking them a couple of years ago: $8.50-$13 depending on where I bought them (cheaper in my home state). I smoked 1 and 1/2-2 packs daily (so 30-40 a day). So I was spending $20 everyday and also buying a snack/drink or something along with them.

Compare to vaping: Initial cost for vape $120+ for first vape (large one) and $50 or so for salt nic vape (pen type). Cost for replacement cartridge every week: $5-$10. Cost of juice every week: $25-40. Cost of replacement batteries yearly to bi-yearly: $25-$50 (can't buy replacements for pen type).

Compare to rolling my own cigarettes: Cost for machine to stuff tubes: $50. Cost for 8 ounces tobacco: $8 (makes 200-250 cigarettes). Cost of 200 pre-rolled filtered tubes: $3.

Making your own is much cheaper. Also vaping is rougher on the lungs despite the advertising and promises. I can chain smoke cigarettes all day while working outside in the heat and/or walking/hiking. With a vape I can't do that. It's too hard to catch my breath.

Main reason I don't vape anymore: I just ended up doing both. I'd vape between cigarettes. Now the only time I use a vape is if I'm going to be somewhere that doesn't allow smoking. But over the last year or so these places have banned vaping to. So it doesn't make much sense anymore. If I stay at someone else's house I'll sometimes take one. Since they're more prone to allow vaping than smoking. Also with vape it's possible to take "ghost hits" that don't let out any vapor. But they're hell on your lungs.

>>130995
I typically smoke 2-3 cigarettes an hour. Sometimes more now that I roll because they're so cheap. My mother is a true chain smoker. I've seen her fire up another while the last one is still smoldering in the ash tray.

>>130997
The average is skewed by people that report only having 1-2 daily or people reporting less than they truly smoke. The average smoker in my experience has at least 15-20 a day. Most people smoke an entire pack or just under one so they have one in the morning left over upon waking. IfPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

This OVA drove me insane. Felt incredibly cowardly the way it constantly retreats into self deprecating humor and overdramatized smears of people who do the things they so enjoy depicting. MCs only dream is to get rich enough to make Otaku disneyland? And all the while they plaster real headlines from news of the world as if its supposed to remind you reality exists? Fuck outta here. This kind of paralyzing indecisiveness, neither committing to embracing their work nor committing to 'growing up' is infuriating to watch.

Basically a coin has value because of something that happened, it's not created with the value at the beginning. Rarity through time passing or an error or something like that makes it rare and desirable. If a resource has value like gold, then you want the pure resource and not the resource molded into something else which will then have its priced increased artificially.
An amazing collector's edition gold coin is made from like $50 of gold and sold for $500. It's a complete scam that preys on gullible people and it's a well known thing. I think it's even lead to investigations, but I could be wrong on that.

I could get acquainted with most people just by acting normal, but I never tried to go any further than that since people tend to lose interest once they realise I'm an awkward spergtard with no normal hobbies and no social media accounts. But this goes both ways; I am not interested in making friends with people I have nothing in common with either.

Same, I learned this through my family and just talking about cooking. Apparently everyone loves the culinary arts on some level and are enthusiastic to talk about different recipes or different foods you've eaten. And I love food so it's easy.

We weren't certified. They showed up 10 minute video from the 1980s and turned us loose in a plant with about six other forklifts. It was fun drifting them. The flood was covered in detergent from all the used detergent bottles. They were supposed to put down quick dry but we never had any. So I spent my days slipping and sliding all over the place picking up 1,000 pound bails of plastic and loading them into massive machine. Would have been okay if that was all I did. But they expected me to run both machines I was loading with only one helper.

I've learned that it helps a lot to have a normal, socially acceptable interest. Ever since starting a garden I can make small talk about something that other people understand and it really makes things go smoothly. I can even make token complaints about the weather, which is itself a subject that seems to be a routine thing to talk about even when no one is truly interested in it.
Cooking would definitely fulfill the same purpose. I guess this is closer to how things are supposed to be.
