do you guys ever put on summer tires or all-season tires in finland
or just leave the snow tires on
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>studded tires year long nah no one does that hmm I think the legally forced winter tire season is november to march or november to february but you can and nothing will come of it, drive year round with winter tires frictiontires and such have gotten some attention here, but it is 90% still studded tires or whatever you anglish call them

Speaking of size, is always weird to think that for example germany is just slightly bigger in landmass than filand. *finland Or that france is almost twice the size of germany. Maps are weird that way
No matter how I think about it how does the war portrayed, atleast in Youjo Senki anime, come to a standstill the Empire in the series is germany+austria-hungary in about size so let's say it has about the economical power and the population of both historical empires. Combined, the two fielded about 6 million soldiers at the beginning of the war and total over 20 million men
France had about 2-3 million at the start of the war, but quickly pushed to 4 and totally fielded almost 9 now let's say the scandinavian nation has about population of modern skandinavia, a large overestimation so maybe 20 million people, of which a 2 million up to 4 at maximum could be fielded in a war
So you have about 5-13 million soldiers from the france+scandi alliance and then over 10 up to over 20 million from the empire. in terms of pure manpower, the empire should've won easily, of course modern war don't work that way
And this is where the latest episode comes in THEY HAVE TANKS MODERN TANKS TANKS THAT ACTUALLY MOVE The main reason that western front and few others stuck in trenchwarfare, was because at the time of ww1, the defensive capabilities of armies largerly dwarfed the offensive. Machine guns, artillery, mines, etc etc it was just impossible to breakthrough. Tanks and airplanes didn't develop enough to help breakingthrough substantionally and artillery while effective, wasn't that well understood too.
sometimes i sleep in jeans on the floor granted, jeans aren't work clothes, but you know when i'm super tired sometimes it's easier just to sleep less comfortable that way i'm not as picky about being a little warm or a little cold and tossing about during the night
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>67383 However in youjosenki, they have flying tank helicopters in form of the mages. they have modern tanks their artillery is sharp enough to fire AT the mages and the german empire has way more war capacity than her allies. So, how exactly is the war a standstill?
In the actual Great War, the standstill was because the central powers fought a two way war, where the other party was france who nearly matched germany in war potentional alone and the other party was Russia, who while wasn't economically and military technologically so advanced, had enourmous territory and endless supplies of manpower. So from the very outbreak of war where it was just france and russia vs A-H and germany, they were outmatched in manpower and armysizes. And add to that how large the russian front was to boot and also how shitty the austrians were at waging the whole war. The stalemate kind of situation was inevitable, eventhough the eastern front was in constant flux and didn't ever develop into long trenchwarfare like the western front. Add to that how the British joined the war early on too, you had the entente powers having about 1,5-2x the armies of the central powers, even after ottomans joined the war.
And yet I am to believe, a superpower of 1million square kms, about 110 million people and waging war against just alternate france and alternate united scandinavia, with about ww2 era tanks and flying mages, has become a standstill that they can't just Punch through with superior numbers and production.
Man, what a farce of a setting when you analyze it even a bit

>>67391 it depends on things space is really big, it turns out if you stay near areas where players are, you'll see a lot of them they tend to congregate in politically important areas and economically important areas but if you want to go where no one is you can do that too you can also play in group instances or solo instances if you don't like people
bang's new computer
generally i don't find a lot of people, maybe one or two people in a few hour session but i also go pretty far off the beaten path i used to do political power stuff and fought with/against players a lot
it comes a lot down to skill a skilled combatist is going to do it faster and easier than someone else it also depends on the ships heavier ships tend to do more damage and are slower, so are better suited to fighting heavier ships smaller ships can kill anyone but take longer to kill heavier ships sometimes heavy ships can get away if you don't do certain things
i don't have a simple answer for this, i'm sorry it's rather complicated
Maria
has anyone on /moe/ ever killed someone?
bang's new computer
i guess the best way i could put it is that you want to have people with you if you're going to do violent things
>>67405 Can you make up for your lack of skill by being meand and clever and prepared? I'm not particularly skilled at anything but I am an effective bully.
>>67408 being prepared is absolutely the name of the game the way your ship is outfit is the second largest determiner of the outcome of the battle, almost tied with skill but the way this works out is that if you are properly prepared and also know what you're doing, you can disable important parts of the enemy ship, forcing them to face you in combat or potentially bricking them temporarily
remember though, that players can do this to you and if they aren't equipped to fight back, then they may be equipped to run i would say that when i was pirating and ganking that i only succeeded about 30% of the times i interdicted someone, with the other 70% being mostly one of us running away and about 20% of the cases resulting in death it's not worth it to die unless you have a cheap ship that was alone though if you pair up, your chances probably double, and if you have 4 people (the maximum in a wing) it's practically impossible to lose against one ship
also remember, that the areas well trafficked by lucrative enemies (trade routes and political hotspots) are also well trafficked by hostile threats (groups of protection-oriented gankers and affiliates of factions) when i was with a group ganking for political power play, there were often wings of enemy commanders looking exactly for gankers like us
PDAnet which i am using to stabilise the usbtethering, is just weird. I can do 8MB/s dl on torrents watch streaming anywhere else do all kinda crap
But then on some sites it constantly disconnects and youtube man It just stops all other connections when loading a youtube video I don't get this app and how it works. Also, why doesn't USB tethering just work NORMALLY without needing any extra apss for that matter... fucking phone companies or service providers sneaking sikrit limiters into hardcode or shit.
bang's new computer
the only thing really worth doing if you aren't going to play with other people is probably economy stuff or bounty hunting nps npcs or like political stuff that is essentially economy stuff well i guess that's not objective, that's my opinion game is full of stuff

I love Arthur's art. Everyone looks like they're anime and he's this fucking super hero dude.
八十八
His art is great but it's just SO contrasted i've only gotten 3 starthurs so i haven't bothered to play him or hear his lines to know whether it's intentional or the artist who did it just didn't mesh with the rest of the game
Koi
There probably isn't a "coherent" art style to it. Gunter also stands out. His feels more like it belongs in a D&D Manual about Knights

>>67468 did you ever see the episode where arthur and buster are playing on the computer and break the keyboard and arthur's mom gets pissed and shit they were fighting over who gets to play the computer game or whatever and ruined her computer it's not a complexly animated show, and i wish i knew enough about animation to alter the scene i wanted to make a scene where they're fighting and after the computer breaks instead of them thinking, "Uh oh" and forgetting the fight, Arthur flips his shit and yells at buster, blaming him for it and rips off his rabbit ear and pins him to the ground and whacks him in the face with the keyboard
and then revert back to the scene where his mom comes back in for a much less severe sin and he's just like "Uh oh, i'm sorry. i won't do it again"
Koi
I feel like I remember such an episode but I don't exactly remember it.
>woo, finally got Death Blow 2 and Threaten Res 3 on Ursula. >Let's level her up >Starting Stratum: Axe, 2 Green Tomes >First Stratum: 4 Axes, Lance >>67471 Flipping your shit can take a lot of effort depending on how you want to do it. But throwing a keyboard at someone is simpler
I don't have that many 3*s that I like so I don't upgrade many of them.
Koi
I don't have many either. But I have upgraded 3s to 4s just so I can put Level 3 versions of their skills on other people. I raised Lon'qu to 4 so I could give Vantage 3 to Ryoma.
八十八
>>67478 i have little interest at this time in making a 4* into a 5* with that many feathers i'd rather take my 3*s and make them into 4*s for 1/10th the cost so that they get the skills i want to inherit onto my 5*s i'd rather minmax two characters to hell and back and have a sappy 4* +3 olivia and anyone with rally speed than four 5*s
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
i'd like to be able to say that but the difference between the stats of a 4 and 5 are pretty crazy
It is. But I feel like it'd be faster for me to simply roll for a 5 than to save up for one.
八十八
>>67482 stats don't affect movement distance or assist skills but also i'm not at the stage where my arena is filled with four 5*s every time i'll eventually minmax four 5*s, but i'd rather prioritize my strengths and let the assists function as they are for now >>67485 i really wish you could locate friends in the arena i don't know why this isn't a thing
>>67486 >not circling/cornering an enemy with your 5*s and letting the cleric 5* hit it over and over until it's got two HP and then bringing your 4* in for the finishing blow
It really depends on the character but yeah. My Ursula was 3* and >>67444 this fight is tenth stratum. It's fucking dumb up there.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>67488 eventually you come up against enemies with such high RES and DEF that your 4* isn't going to be damaging it and your ninja/maid/butler can't lower the enemy unit's def/res anymore without killing it
there are some amazing 4*s that don't have that problem but tons of them do
Not to mention that it HAD to be close enough to be affected by Threaten Res (so I couldn't just run away outright) but far enough that she wouldn't be able to hit me after. Something you can only do with both a Knight unit and a Dancer. Teleportation is a convenience but depending on terrain, you wouldn't be able to manage it without it.
I'm having a real difficult time with making decisions in this game as far as characters go. I don't want to use Catria, and she has nice skills to give away, but WHICH SET, and TO WHO. She has Armored Blow 3 at 4* as well as access to Luna
Well the lower hit rate is quite realistic, but higher naah not really Shield is still better than swordbreaker, but you didn't really carry a shield and armour and whatnot in cities, but a sword and a dagger with holes to catch a sword yeah no one questioned that
But thing about parrying daggers, bucklers, swordbreakers they aren't battlefield items and that game is supposed to be actually about fighting in the field, aye? So yeaah... They were more like dueling or civilian weapons, not huge formation weapons
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
you might have it on you, but it would be pretty much your THIRD weapon with pike or spear being first with usually shield, then sword or something and then finally grab the dagger if you can and need
rook
it's just a skill name in a video game dude
Koi
>Leveling Ursula >4 lances This can't be bad >All Pegasus Knights fuck this shit
rook
just wait until you join me in the hell that is attempting the all flyers tenth stratum challenge

hmm, now that I have Michalis that doesn't seem TOO TERRIBLE except that I'd have to level Shanna and Palla. And Cordelia

I upped my michalis to 4* and I can confirm I want to die

I was looking at the FE wiki guide for free to play, apparently you are unlikely to get more than 2 5*s but I have four! I am always super lucky in mobages. F2P all the way
>>67532 just an aside, but do you see a doctor regularly? they can probably give you something to make your sleep more restful not necessarily to make your // you sleep longer or be more tired, but to make better use of the time you do sleep ive been using trazodone on occasion for that. i sleep about six hours but it knocks me out pretty fast and it's pentacyclic, functioning to cause sleep in the first stage, promote sleep in the second, and cause wakefulness in the third stages about 6-8 hours later depending on your liver the fourth and fifth stages are non-NRI antidepressants lasting all day sometimes distracting, but it's easier personally for me to control being distracted than control being tired
>>67535 My doctor isn't likely to give me anything, they'll note stuff down and then tell me to do things to see if there is any improvement by doing these things and then tell me come back 6 weeks later or something. It is a pain in the ass to get appointments
>>67536 Have you told them about your narcolepsy? over there you can probably get modafinil or armodafinil prescribed over here it's so patented that i'd have to pay $1200 a month to get the prescriptions for it i can order generics from india for $80 but they're generics
I have but my GP didn't do much about. I got x-ray and blood test done and apparently that was all fine so that was that!
八十八
>>67539 you gotta tell them that it's inhibiting your ability to function with work or function in other respects if you don't do that, they have no reason to believe it's a problem doctors spend about five minutes reviewing your file before seeing you for 15 minutes. You live with yourself all day long They rely on you telling them what's wrong if you don't, as cynical as this sounds, they don't feel obligation to provide treatment. If it's inhibiting social/work function, they have to.
If your GP won't do it, ask him to refer you to a psychiatrist or something you might not really think it's a big enough deal to bother with, but i think that's because that's the only data point you've been living your life by step out of that realm and you might see how much difference it makes

>>67814 poor jontron my twitter feed this morning was full of shit about how he's being removed from a game he provided voices for because he's a NAZI and tons of people want refunds because they removed jon from it and they're getting banned for requesting refunds
>>67823 I don't know about that. I think it's reasonable to want a refund on a game that's being used as a political statement that you don't agree with, especially if it wasn't a political statement when you purchased the game. These people no longer are willing to support the devs and also >>67829
>advertise game as containing x >remove x after getting preorders >it's stupid for people to want a refund, we only advertised it'd be there and then took it out. WE think it's not a big deal, that's why WE knew advertising it would make money This makes perfect sense I agree
Anno
The people asking for refunds on it are making a mountain out of a molehill here. The voice acting is barely even a feature.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
they're getting banned just for asking for a refund i think it's completely reasonable to be upset about the way this is happening
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
They're still allowed to ask for a refund And they're getting banned for it.
>>67831 That's a different matter than what I'm talking about. I agree with that, but that still doesn't change my opinion that I think they're making a mountain out of what's a very tiny detail in the grand scheme of the game.
>>67836 I don't think it's the "no longer has jontron" that is making them want refunds. They want refunds because of the way Jontron is being treated and vilified by the devs. The game's being turned into a political statement they don't agree with, and I think it's within their rights to be upset about that. Even if the voice acting is only a small part of the game, it's the idea that a /// that this guy who did nothing wrong is being vilified and attacked that's spurring these people to being upset.
The devs could have handled this a lot better, but their bad handling is what's caused this.

he's not he talked to a nazi in a stream though well, a "nazi" he did a livestream with someone that is called a nazi (even though he's not) and jontron happened to share a slightly controversial opinion there he was then called a nazi and vilified
>>67848 Jontron also happened to say some actually racist things on another stream, which is what this is likely a reaction to I don't think anyone gives a shit about the sargon memes anymore Destiny is the new hotness, and oh boy there are scandals EVERYWHERE

Anno
I really get fed up with people who outright say they hate PC culture though. There is really no reason that having a decorum for politeness and decency in professional settings is a bad thing. YES, there are ways that it can go overboard, and stifle discussion and essential conversations. But that doesn't mean we should disregard decency and devolve into manner-less dialogue.
>>67860 i think that hating PC culture is about that overboard part of it it's reactionary to that, at least people that are like, anti-PC can be pretty crazy, though, like people that attack someone "just because they can"

i'm not trying to be funny but i legitimately thought you were saying he commented on hating PC culture like personal computer culture like pc gaming instead of consoles

Yeah webm is kinda the 4channy format Imgur doesn't use it either They use mp4, but hide it in a link they end with .gifv .gifv isn't actually a format, though, it's not even their own actual extension of the filename
Webm just isn't popular outside of the chanosphere yet.

what is the reason for webm's success in that sphere? what does it provide

>>67886 Great file size to bitrate ratio on the video formats it can contain Also HTML5
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
webm is a lot smaller in terms of file-size than mp4 and other video formats, it's pretty simple to make, it's FREE AS IN FREEDOM, and gets pretty good quality
I remember Samu talking about how Webm is basically just .mkv computer magic'd into web formate. Format even. Where as .gifv is the same for .mp4.

i'm pretty sure everybody fucks those things up without thinking about it and i get paranoid when i'm conscious of it because i start to get confused on what's correct but in transcripts a lot of times i have to go with what's not correct, because it becomes incredibly vague and difficult to read if it is done correctly so i just lowball it and make it as coherent as possible
oh, that reminds me in like a year and a half or so, i have to do my clinical evaluations to get my master's degree and one of the things i have to do for it is to provide a video and transcript of a therapy session i do with one of my clients it'll be like 50 minutes long and it's hard for me to do 20 minute transcriptions haha i might try to pay you to do it for me

>give someone money to make a thing with x in it >they agree >they later decide not to put x in it But they could have probably gotten the money anyway, even if you didn't give it to them so tough shit dude

>Jafari also claimed that ... Irish and Italians were always considered “white” in America (they weren’t)
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
i don't know about the italians for sure but i know the irish weren't considered white always
>>67934 yeah people are so weird about race like, even if you're Caucasian, sometimes you're not white because apparently it's not skin color but it's still skin color? like people think a jew can't be white because being a jew excludes you from consideration? i don't really understand it
there are even books like this https://www.amazon.com/Became-White-Folks-About-America/dp/081352590X
How Jews Became White Folks and What That Says About Race in America Paperback – October 1, 1998
first name that popped in my mind i'll come up with something better later
Anno
I mean you're as white as I am in my eyes.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
yeah, i mean,
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
yeah, i mean, i joke around, but i look white and i consider myself white i don't think being white excludes me from having experienced feelings of marginalization which seems to be the main point of difference with people of color who think i'm nonwhite because i've been marginalized i'm not exactly sure the logic white supremacists use to exclude me from being white though
>>67936 Lots of people consider jews white, though Like it's another type, I guess, like if you particularly dislike SLAVS for example you make a note of it But they're still white A slav's a slav, but they're white
Anno
>>67940 Well you'd consider yourself Jewish first, white second, wouldn't you? Maybe they take issue with the conflict of interests, hoh hoh hoh.
i kind of see it like, there's a big circle with "white" and then "jewish" is inside it like white is a big general attribute that stuff is contained in so even though i think my experiences as a jew are more prominent than my experiences as a "white person", the "white" experiences are just generic experiences to me it's the jewish ones that stand out because so they're the ones more prominent in my mind most of the time
but i don't know
Anno
Wouldn't it be more o--wait this is completely unrelated since it's about you. Scratch that.

So do we just take the word of someone who clearly is building their career around 'being black' when there's a buncch of evidence counting against it? I mean OK, it's completely irrelevant, but if we're gonna sit on an answer for ourselves at all, we might as well try to make it the correct one
Like none of his friends even considered him black, which is strange for a mix
八十八
>>67971 i don't think that has anything to do with his career i think his writing is why he has a career
『ｓｋ』
As someone speaking "for the black community", it's definitely impacting it
八十八
i think you might have a slightly skewed perception of the racial divide over here i know you keep up on things, but you're just getting the media feeds being black isn't a prerequisite for speaking for black equality or talking about social activism
『ｓｋ』
Maybe? I wouldn't know if I did, that's the issue
『ｓｋ』
I've seen people get shit for attempting to speak for demographics they're not part of, though And those people are usually white men
I dunno, I just think it's weird either way
八十八
that's a different issue than it sounds like that's more that someone's speaking on their behalf who doesn't understand the situation well enough to be speaking on behalf of it, like with white legislators or something there's a big level of distrust in that regard if someone says they don't want white men speaking for them, they're not really talking about skin color that much even though it's explicitly in the language knowing the situation intimately is a prerequisite for being meaningful and socially active in whatever sphere you're speaking in people just dont want to be represented by someone outside of that sphere who's going to marginalize or dilute their concerns, even if that someone is trying to be helpful
Anno
Yeah, what Moon's saying. if you're someone entrenched in a culture and you speak for it, that's a different matter.

The series was cancelled in the United States due to declining ratings in the spring of 2002 after only 40 episodes, with Eddie still a dog and only 60 deeds done. However, the series is such a hit in Europe that it was released on European Amazon Video platforms, like France's Amazon.fr.

The art in the video also reminded me of an artstyle and OC of a friend of mine. But it's an OC of the creator and then that got me wondering if their two paths have ever crossed on the Internet.

yeah me either but i'm gonna keep going on it for a bit
did you follow that big wikipedia war about garfield's gender
Anno
no I did not but I'm intrigued
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
like last month, there was this big wikipedia editing war that started regarding garfield's gender people started coming through every comic strip looking for confirmation of his gender, talking about Word of god, etc It got so big that someone in Congress edited the page
>>68036 supposedly at one point they got a bunch of people to email in asking Jim Davis for breakfast with Garfield
『ｓｋ』
Isn't the guy who made Calvin like some sorta asshole who won't sign anything just so it can't be sold on ebay? I heard something like that once
八十八
>>68040 haha, this sex survey results is actually what sparked it all from including that quote wow this discussion rounded the tangents back into a circle real quick >>68047 i'm sure he has directly, when speaking about garfield and the characters in the strip do
『ｓｋ』
Has John literally never referred to Garfield as "he"? Like really?
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
I think the autists eventually found a strip or two where Garfield was referred to as a he
Right? His entire life is a cat and a dog, and he's dating a vet, or trying anyway There's a 0% chance he hasn't said "he" in reference to his cat once or twice
>>68053 I don't think I've seen that cat outside the movie Then again, Garfield doesn't run in newspapers here so I haven't read a whole shitton of garfield
八十八
>>68055 i dont think she shows up often in the three-panel comics there's lots of her in the book collections though >>68058 i loved them when i was a kid i'm sure some would still be funny if i read them today but i dont remember
『ｓｋ』
Seriously I've mostly read garfield from a few christmas specials
Maria
Is there a single garfield strip that is genuinely funny on its own?
Garfield isn't actually bad at all I dunno why somehow people think it is It's just not a fucking masterpiece
Maria
>>68061 Post a good garfield strip and I'll enjoy it
『ｓｋ』
What am I, Jim Davis? I don't keep garfield strips around
八十八
>>68061 i love garfield there are a lot of bad strips that fall flat and lack any passion but that's what happens when you do newspaper comics pump something out every day even when you're tapped dry
>>68064 Yeah The christmas magazines are all good cause they tell a cohesive story in essentially a western 4koma format
八十八
like, i seriously can't imagine lasagnacat putting this much passion into doing what they do just to mock a bad comic, if that's what they thought it was i'm sure they have to love garfield on some level in order to be so... whatever the word is >>68069 yeah. it's like garfield minus garfield. it pokes at how ridiculous jon's actions are in general and really plays off bad writing but jim davis likes it
『ｓｋ』
I assume lasagna cat likes garfield a lot, but also enjoys poking fun at the dumb strips a lot
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
it's an abstract kind of love
Anno
Lasagna cat probably read this strip a ton as a kid and grew up to be a fucked up adult like the rest of us but with an affinity to Garfield
every american grew up reading a ton of garfield it's part of the culture
『ｓｋ』
>the smocking rat with a similar name was impotent I thought I knew where it was going but then it was about the pipe

>>68072 this one actually had me laugh it's pretty good it doesn't need the last panel though. it's a buzzkill panel that explains the absurdity
Maria
I remember when I was ten I read so much garfield that I thought Lasagna was the best thing ever. Then during school they gave a presentation on multiple sclirosis and the teachers got mad at me because I claimed lasagna could cure it
『ｓｋ』
>>68070 It's not that abstract, it's very common to mock what you love
『ｓｋ』
I mean just look at pewdiepie he makes fun of nazis all the time

>>68076 haha that's great why are they giving 10 year olds a presentation on MS
Cause it's just an entire episode of lies Aku tells children to make them think Jack's a bad guy I mean I guess him doing so is canon, but most of the episode is the stories The final one being one where Samurai Jack defeats Aku
Anno
Ohh
Anno
I don't remember what episodes are in what order, I last watched the show when it was airing at like 4:30 on the entertainment box
>jack gets eaten by a sea worm >the episode moves on to him being in a forest and meeting some machines that end up eating eachother cause they eat metal >then it skips again to jack climbing a tower and freeing a fairy What the heck was this episode There are two unresolved stories here
So here is the deal for jack to go back and change the past he will remove the moment he travelled back so yeah I wonder how the show will deal with time paradox, if it will even allow jack to go to the past
The show already has continuity errors, so it's not a problem
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Just a little but not that much also like s1 and maybe good part of s2 they didn't really build that much on the hting I doubt they didn't even make aku's origin solid untill they aired the birth of evil episode
But still travelling to future is easy past is the hard
『ｓｋ』
Alternate timelines Problem solved
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
it is just a cop-out to me always also it is quite clever to train female assassins jack has always been bad at killing girls
『ｓｋ』
Dude the show has actual magic, time travel skipping across timelines is fine
『ｓｋ』
Also literally the only person Jack has ever killed was a girl, so I dunno dude
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
yeah but even aku flies with wings he doesn't float
This season seems like it'll be episodic, but more tied together too Like I think it'll have a sort of actual story arc Maybe they intend to close off the story with this season and have Jack go home
Hell, maybe he goes home, but he's not able to go ALL the way back so he has to deal with Aku 20 years after he sent Jack to the future The possibilities are endless Sending him back to the past but not ending the show could be interesting Samurai Jack in human time
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I kinda think jack will kill aku in the future and we never see the past even if he enters a portal
『ｓｋ』
That'd be an awful ending It's not over until he beats Aku in the past
Apparently when making Samurai Jack, they made the story boards first, and THEN the script And that's why the visuals of the show are so much more in focus than the dialogue
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
yeah
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
fifth and final
『ｓｋ』
wait, it's confirmed the show will truly end with this season?
Maybe he's not able to find jack without the sword, cause it's magic or whatever
He can see in his major cities because he's got a lot of influence there, so it's got 'him' all over it basically
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Yeah that might actually be it he can't find jack, but he senses the sword
『ｓｋ』
yeah, I think that'd be the most reasonable explanation they can give if they do give one Of course, it's mostly because they just needed it to happen so it was that way
『ｓｋ』
His sword is super magic, too Just now in the episode I'm watching, he powered it up by praying to his ancestors
forged from human spirit of good by the three supreme gods >>68184 I don't think he gains, he just has powers and regenerates And over time he grows bigger and bigger
No no there's definitely some sort of mechanism, because his first move after enslaving Jack's people was put them to work mining crystals to, I think the show outright says it, increase his power >>68187 Possible But it's odd to be so quick about that
Oh maybe yeah In the past he had to control everyone with minions, which were part of himself, so he wanted machines to do it instead That's why he was weaker in the first fight, too, because he had minions all over the world ensuring shit was happening during it
YEah lik he had just DEMONGO as a minion that he created in the future who was insanelyp owerful if he could create beings like that, why not mass produce them? BEcause clearly it weakens him or spends too much of his power.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>68189 But I really like the visual of the sword at first it just cuts, but then it evolves to cut and burn and they even explain it halfly with the "ancestor power up" though in the origin episode the sword also cutburned aku, but then again it was freshly forge back then So it might've lost some of its power over time.
『ｓｋ』
And also Aku is evil and the sword is supposed to be justice So of course it'd burn Aku
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I mean real explanation is they got a bigger budget and improved the visuals, but they still kinda wrote an explanation for the visual change.
『ｓｋ』
I'm on the episode after the powerup, and it still doesn't burn I guess it does later
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
But I wonder can the sword kill aku? >>68194 I think it is S3 onwards change
It'd be a real fucking dick move if the sword couldn't kill Aku The whole show would be for nothing then Especially when they reboot it after a long time, it'd be a really shitty thing to do to the fans
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I mean jack's father sealed him away and jack never did kill him
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
But I think the sword itself doesn't have that much power and most of it comes from the wielder
Hm, maybe? That would mean only a pure person could beat Aku though, and while Jack certainly is that, it'd be a really poor design for a sword >>68204 Oho that's a good point By the very nature of being a ruler in a feudal system, he was likely not very pure But Jack is, and he's never strayed from the path because he only HAS one goal He can't be a ruler, he has to go home He doesn't have time to use his skill for evil or conquest, he has to go home
Yeah basically would explain why the old shogun couldn't kill aku he wasn't dedicated enough. He could defeat him, but couldn't kill because he wasn't pure and just enough
and why also jack has so far failed he has been lusting for revenge and shit, so he couldn't actually completely kill aku and aku always survived
But if that's the case Ultimately it was a good thing that Aku didn't wait to show up Because by then, Jack might have assumed the role of a ruler, and then he wouldn't be pure enough Possibly
Actually, Aku just always manages to run away In the first fight in the past, Aku was actually pinned down, so I'm very sure Jack's just not been able to do enough damage so far, is all
>>68207 No can do Aku betrays people who work with him because he's evil He does it consistently He explicitly avoids ever keeping his end of any deal
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the mafia episode is ironically closest jack has come to kill aku
『ｓｋ』
We don't know how the fight after the jumping tribe actually went though He could have gotten really close
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
"I'll be back samurai" remember jack was in AKU's LAIR no where to go from there. every other fight is in the field, where aku can run somewhere but fighting in his lair yeah hard to escape anywhere else
I wonder what the ruleset on throwing people into the future is You'd think Aku would just keep doing it as maintenance "Once every 5000 years or so, I do a magic spell and keep going on with my day"
oh come on jack it is just a little stab you've been through worse and fought
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
oh wait maybe that was the sword powering him up?
『ｓｋ』
We really don't know how powerful Jack is without the sword In the show, he takes insane beatings with a cartoony ability to just shrug it off He falls down 50 meters with a huge rock strapped to his back, and he's OK But he has his sword It might be really, really powerful
I think the fifth season has been bit more realistic he took damage, but always had armour to help him but when he got stabbed, he was all weak like a person would be
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
But it would be fun, that when he recovers the sword, he goes back to near immortal and we get to see just how powerful the sword actually is
Yeah, that'd be cool I want them to do that, if nothing else to explain how he's so more susceptible to damage in the one season they're allowed to go gore mode
Also >Jack Remembers the Past This episode This can only be done if you have a lot of balls and a boss who trusts you The whole episode is completely meaningless to first time watches watchers*
It's like 5 minutes of regular Samurai Jack things And then the rest is him walking through his village remembering his childhood In near complete silence
『ｓｋ』
To fans and an older audience, it's interesting, but CN is a kid's network A kid whose first exposure to Jack through this episode They'd think the show was super boring
It's like having a long running monster of the week show, but one episode it's just one of the heroes going about their day without anything in particular happening Not the kind of show you eat your breakfast cereal to if that's the first thing you see of it, yaknow
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
best episode of dexter's lab was the dead lightbulb episode
『ｓｋ』
I don't even remember much of dexter's lab
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
that was just so good episode it had no dialog or anything just him going around to new areas to new people and shaking the dead lightbulb and making a slight sound and then everyone is always AAAAA DEAD LIGHT BULB face
>>68231 They're great, but only for the fans For people who haven't seen the rest, they have no investment in any of this
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I dunno I never saw the episodes in chronological order, just the order they popped up in cartoon network which was mostly random it was a lot later when i actually watched the series in episode order
Yeah it is though He even sharpens it on both sides
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
what episode
『ｓｋ』
Jack Tales In the part with the robot people, he's sharpening it on the dull side S2E2
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
number
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
No he is sharpening the edge the point of view is odd, but only sparks fly from the actual edge
『ｓｋ』
Huh I guess I was mistaken then
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
what do you mean jack tales have no endings in the first one he realises there is no magic worm and gets depressed over it and most likely a bit later cuts his way out killing the worm in the second, the robots then eat eachother and jack continues his travels
>>68242 I guess the second counts, but the first one doesn't tell you what he does from there If it was as easy as cutting his way out, there'd be no reason to pout, he's not one for delaying this kind of thing
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
He has a sword that can cut anything... and he is inside a worm that doesn't dissolve you that easily, and everyone else is UNARMED
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>68243 He pouts because the worm couldn't do magic and he is searching for magic to travel back to the past
I wonder if Jack would be hated for appropriation of others' cultures if his training aired again His entire childhood is a long series of a rich man visiting foreign cultures and appropriating them
Holy shit this episode has BGM from Worms Armageddon
