Honestly, the opposite is why I struggled to get into the show for so long. I have a bunch of messages with friends who were pushing me to watch it of “I don’t get why this happens, I don’t feel enjoyment out of the fights. He’s doing the same thing every time and then for some reason it works the last time”

I think one piece is one of the few shows where I don’t actually like the main protag. I understand Luffy’s personality, and I understand that perseverance is his thing, but he takes a hammer approach for everything. I didn’t like how for the first 400 or so episodes his approach to fighting anything was to hit it repeatedly, just angrier. Defeating antagonists early on seemed super unrewarding because it was the same thing he does all battle, just for some reason it works that time.

Note this does eventually change, but like the time commitment required to get to that part where it’s engaging is super high. I do like the show now that it’s actually starting to pick up but, I defo don’t believe that I would have made it to this point if I wasn’t also being pushed to since I was in a one piece DnD campaign and not understanding key elements was getting old lmao

I agree with this statement, I dropped it for 6 or 7 months during the alabasta arc cause I just couldn’t binge it further, but once that arc is done, is slowly starts picking up the pacing and is really good

dude episode 37? try episode 130+ lmao one piece is so slow and boring until a little past the alabasta arc.

for me its the god awful graphics when i go onto it. like everything seems blurry or streaky.

“that’s just my keyboard layout, its not for everyone but it works for me”

I can definitely understand that as well. I rely on someone replying to the comment if I say something that is unclear or misinterpreted. It allows me to have better feedback anyway then trying to figure out where I went wrong on my own, plus it avoids being able to dismiss it as “well maybe it was just a unpopular opinion so it was downvoted”. I also find effort a huge factor as well, meaning that if someone went through the hassle/effort of responding to my comment then chances are it’s not an opinion type deal and more of either I wasn’t clear or there was a misunderstanding. (when the reply is opposing of course)

I’m not the person you responded to but, I also run with down-votes disabled. I found that paying attention to them was negatively impacting the platform and creating an echo chamber based off populous opinion. Since turning them off, my experience on the platform has been quite a bit more enjoyable. It’s not that I really have a mentality that is different than what the populous opinion is but, I much prefer not seeing them as it removes the potential of “oh this post has been downvoted” because that makes you go into reading it with an already poisoned mindset.

I got “VPN banned” despite not using a VPN lmao

Granted I haden’t used the service since the API changes anyway, so no loss there, but I did get a pretty big chuckle when i finally found that out.

I wasn’t attacking you in that message but, I think you should calm down some, practice what you preach. The world doesn’t revolve around you either, we are all just trying to enjoy it the best we can.

Adding a simple “spoiler alert” is not that big of an ask. It’s not like its a request not to talk about it or not discuss it. It’s a request to properly label said spoilers to not ruin it for others.

The mental gymnastics behind that is insane to me. Are you saying that a One Piece fan shouldn’t go on one piece forums period until they fully finish the show? That’s insane my guy. Just label content if its in an area that potentially hasen’t seen that content, that way everyone who hasen’t seen it can enjoy it as well.

I don’t find that unreasonable at all in my opinion. Most wiki’s even acknowledge this by having a boiler plate saying “this page contains spoilers read at your own risk”. Dropping spoilers about any type of story is taboo even on fan forums regardless of how long its been since release. The expected place to talk about them is in private or under an area that is clearly marked plot spoilers (or at minimum a post with a spoiler tag that makes the text not readable).

Even if it wasn’t the standard, at the very least its common human decency. If you enjoyed something wouldn’t you want everyone else to enjoy it as well? Dropping spoilers of any kind in a public page without proper precautions is just being a dick.(note I do feel that the person in this case at least tried, it just didn’t work well cause most would have to see it in order to read the comments under them, but an attempt was made so IMO they do not fall under this category)

Time since release has never made sense as a valid excuse for me. So we are just going to magically think that everyone knew it was released and had the ability to watch it sooner? Hell some don’t even have access to the media to watch it sooner, either due to age or just lack of accessibility

I fully agree. Like I am currently watching one piece for the first time, and the amount of people that are like “bro it’s been known for years you should have found out by now” is unreal. Like no shit its been out for years, that doesn’t mean I watched it release day.

the pro was discontinued but the base model is only going to be produced for another 2 years. Hopefully they release a next generation model but if they are toning down upper end models then I’m not convinced.

It wasn’t due to surplus, they said in the release that it was a didn’t sell enough units(the pro). And the current pinephone is only going to be produced another 2 or so years, they havent mentioned any plans that I saw of a model after that.

just play a round of yugioh or any mainstream card game and it’ll resolve the issue.

You are correct in that statement. There is no federal mandate for breaks or meals, which is super shitty. However, there is a requirement for at least a meal break in 21 of the states which vary in requirements, some even extending to normal breaks.

I grew up with master, and main just feels weird.

I had this issue with produce. I stopped buying it because it would just go bad before I used it.

WHAT’S UR OFFER

I want to say the amazon driver had a sense of humor and this wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. I know I got a chuckle out of it. I only hope the original person didn’t complain XD
