@Memor-X I'm pretty sure Hitmonchan would insist to be called Hitmonsama.
In fact, Hitmonchan was probably a nickname name invented by Hitmonlee while Hitmonchan was still a tyrogue that he won't let die, to tease Hitmonchan. XP
@Memor-X Probably more along the lines of hit monster, but the reason why you don't find hit monster norris is because the appropriate name of the pokemon is hitgodnorris. =P
It's responsible for the big bang that created Arceus.
It looks like a hitmontop, except with three of Chuck Norris' almighty legs.
@Tonepoet And yet of the 6 Pokemon you listed that those were derived from, I only recognized Mudkip, Whooper, and Squirtle... I gave up after gen III.
@Mysticial I use a small caching SSD and 3 HDDs in RAID 5.
It's quite excessive. I could have gotten away with even 32 or 64 GiB.
But I wanted that extra space in case I needed a lot of swap. I do have plenty of memory (64 GiB), but I also run a lot of heavy virtual machines and the like.
So it's bigger than I need, but at least I don't have to worry about write amplification!
I have a ton of SSDs. Mostly because I have a ton of machines. Interestingly, my main machine is using a SATA3 SSD while my laptop and my other desktop have NVMe SSDs. I don't use the latter 2 that much.
When I was first exposed to SSDs back when they were measured in megabytes, I had so many die on me after heavy use that the relatively recent trend of SSDs being able to outlive HDDs is hard for me to accept.
Also, HDDs are a lot cheaper for huge amounts of data.
I primarily have 3 uses for storage. 1. Boot drive. (SSD) 2. Bulk drive. (Anime, music, etc... all on external HD over NAS) 3. Workstation. (16 x 2TB HDs)
As much as I'd love to use SSDs for #3, I can't because they'll all die in a year.
So I have these two ugly towers under one of my desks.
We just started learning (about 4 months ago, currently taking lessons) and playing the acoustic guitar.
we own a Yamaha FG830 dreadnought guitar and I am currently looking to purchase another guitar in a different guitar body shape.
(eventually I want to upgrade my Yamaha FG830 to a nicer gu...
@forest I haven't played since Gen. III myself. I was terribly disappointed that I couldn't transfer my level 100 Pokemon from gen. 1 and 2, after the expectation that I should be able to do that had been set. Then they made significant changes to the battle mechanics in diamond and perl too, which also put me off. I still kept up with some of the most notable ones though. Buneary was featured on the show for a while as one of Dawn's pokemon for instance:
Dawn being the playable female character of the diamond and pearl series. Ash has had a strange tendency to team up with the female playable characters as his traveling companions ever since Misty left the show.
Chimchar was a starter pokemon, and Torterra was the final evolution of a starter pokemon. Strangely enough, I suspect it's all Gen IV stuff, but don't quote me on that since I'm not sure.
@Memor-X Mostly how the stats. work. In Pokemon you have two pools of attacks: Regular attacks which were affected by the attacter's att. and the defender's def., and then you have special attacks, which are either entirely determined by the special stat (gen 1) or special att. and special def. (gen 2 onwards).
Before you used to be able to determine what kind of attack belonged to which pool simply by knowing what type of attack it was. Rock, ground and fighting type attacks belonged to the regular pool, whereas water, electric and fire types belonged to the special pool.
From Gen IV onwards, this was changed to be determined on a per attack basis.
So whereas fire punch, thunder punch and ice punch were special attacks before, they became physical attacks after gen III.
I prefer the old system 'cause it's much easier to remember the 15 or so types than each of the hundreds of attacks.
@Memor-X I think that's the general principle they were going with from gen. IV onward, but it's hard to be sure, especially since there might be exceptions: Like what about earthquake for instance?
Why do saber and archer choose to fade away rather than staying in the real world with Rin and Shirou?
This is one of the most confusing things in Unlimite Blade Works for me to understand. I just cant get a grasp on this and have searched and thought about it for very long.
So this I believe is an isekai manga where the mc is a male. He of course has a lot of girls but the part I remember is that he kills an ant queen and them is entrusted with the ant queen's daughter who also assumes human form. I also rember that he meets another person who was a male in his prev...
At some point in the webcomic the speed of Flash Flash attack is given, it takes centi seconds to perform each attack. I suppose his speed can be calculated if you know the distance of his attacks. I dont know if Speed of Sound Sonic speed is given or it can be calculated (though probably has to ...
In the first episode of the new show, after learning more about Tohru's life, Yuki says she's amazing. In response Shigure tells him it's an insult to call her that.
Yuki agrees, but I frankly didn't understand what they meant by that.
So, I've been reading the One Punch Man webcomic after Garou defeated Tank Top Master. I haven't read the manga but only small segments which appears in Youtube reviews and things like that. Which version of One Punch Man is more expanded, the webcomic or the manga? am I missing something for rea...
