Didn't know Buddhism had a "hell". Tbh, some of these are so ridiculously over the top they kind of ruin the otherwise beautiful religion.

I mean, the Abrahamic religions often have a hell but they don't really go into this kind of exhaustive intricate detail. All those images of Hellrazer like Christian hells are all artist interpretation, but here Buddhism is like "Yeah, you're getting repeatedly sliced up by knights with flaming swords, or pasted by giant rocks, or frozen so your body is falling apart and organs are exposed for as long as it takes to empty a barrel of seasme seeds if you removed one seed every 100 years".

Basically I was wondering why anyone would want Nivana over being reborn as a badass celestial being, but I guess this is why. All.of them risk Buddhist hell.

scream 6 was real fun

My oldest Viewtiful Joe save file is from 2007. Last attempt was 2016.

Only ever got up to stage 5, I'm probably never gonna beat it on Adult but refuse to do Kids.

So an Indian company sold contaminated eyedrops, causing a bunch of people to have their eyes removed.

Guess who uses eyedrops?

I use Systane, am confident rhey're safe but am rethinking the multiple use bottles,I think the ones I have are about 4-6 months old now and preservative free.

May need to.invest in the single use vials, not worth risking my vision in those multi use bottles.

What would happen if everyone in society had a gun? Including in government buildings?

A friend says there would be a shootout on every street corner. Me, I'm not so sure.. The thing about psychotic people, is they tend to not want to get shot the same as any of us. A random act of violence type knows everyone around him can cut him down, maybe he'd think twice.

Kind of like Mutually Assured Destruction works for countries?

Good point. Didn't people need to surrender their guns in town? Maybe that was done for a reason, like duals.

So a lor of references are made to Poseidon in the Hade vs Qin Shi Huang, which highlights comparisons to Poiseidon's fight with Sasuke Kojiro.

Sasuke defeats Poseidon, and only has a special sword transformed from a Valkyrie. The sword breaks and becomes Miyomoto Mushashi style dual swords, thanks to a special nature of said Valkyrie having two personalities. Qin meanwhile has a special ability to see "weak points", a special Valkyrie armor that has five or six different functions ranging from defensive shields to spears, and a special martial art he learned while fighting a demon.

So basically Sasuke used pure skill built up over a lifetime and the swords merely let him harm gods, while Qin had a bunch of "super powers".

Personally, I prefer the former. Humanity beating gods by grit, determination, and experience gained through a lifetime. Powers kind of dilutes that.

The Buddha stepping in to fight for humans was kind of a low point in a way, like the Rocky 5 of Record of Ragnarok. It was a AWESOME fight, but it had Dragon Ball like multi transformations, an antagonist who literally consumes the original god fighter like Omega Shenron eating the Blackstar Dragonballs.

And I mean, what was the new challenger who calls himself demon lord of the sixth heaven even fighting FOR? Ragnarok is between men and gods to spare humanity or genocide them, the demon was neither man nor god, had no personal stake in the conflict, and I wish he won just to see the aftermath. Like he was gonna head to the gods side with Zeus saying "Good job new guy!", and the Demon Lord saying "Oh yeah, that's one for Team God! So who's on next?"

Bring back sword

Hey Geck what's the closest Kengan's ever gotten to Baki tier?

Like could they reach it with a few more feats?

And how would Yujiro do in the Ragnarok Tournament?

So anyone wanna run a TV judge scam?

Production company pays for everything, zero risk for losing, everything paid for, bet you over half the "disputes" are cons just to get on TV and get paid.

and he was several tiers above anybody else except fei

most of the top tiers are low to mid baki level

Kuroki would go almost 50/50 with doppo
Waka and Julius could fight hanayama
Agito is pretty much where Retsu was around the Raitai tournament

obviously they lose to baki or yujiro or Jack or pickle or musashi. And olvia and post perfected technique katsume are too strong

But besides that the top tiers do well

Frauds like rei get clapped though

Niko deflecting a bullet with his forearm is pretty out though, can't think of anyone not Yujiro who has something like that.

Riki-Oh is way better though he flat out caught a bullet between his fingers after it left the muzzle. Wish Baki readers read Riki-Oh,I have a feeling he's Yujiro tier, the man survives s everything from a ceiling crusher propelled by an great oak sized piston, to nuclear meltdowns, to being buried alive without food or water for 7 days and has to fight 2 masters after being excavated with construction equipment.

It's insane and brilliant.

That only works to a certain degree though, overall I'd agree.

Agreed there, humans should have some meta ability. Raidan and his super muscles was actually fine by me, because they came with serious limitations and needed a Valkyrie to control his super muscles. And Adam was outright created in his gods image, so fair play being a demigod in life.

Qin the Chinese Emperor beating up a god as big as a building when he was alive kind of changes the entire theme though, gods are supposed to be pretty much invincible unless they're facing down other divine items, so he broke that rule that was really only bent a bit before (Bent in fhe sense Raidan seemed to stagger Shiva before his Valkyrie merged into an endosketon to keep his muscles from tearing apart his bones)

Basically humans having god like abilities undermines the theme of mortal vs god, imo.

The current Tesla vs Bezlebub is putting things back to form though, his Valkyrie formed the basis of an f'n Iron Man suit designed by him in life, but that lacked the materials to realize it.

Chess Ultra free on Epic.

Would have cared about 15 years ago, when I was big into playing.

Fired up the laptop after about a week. Steam, Epic, and Chrome all locked up the system updating or something.

This is why I hate modern technology.

100% disc activity, tried having Steam and Windows updating at the same time. If it catches fire maybe will upload to Youtube.
