This is frustrating.

I love the comparison, but I hate how they are comparing.

They are acting like she is using optics to give herself an advantage. But the device she is wearing is just for comfort and essentially does the same thing as closing one eye and squinting the other.

The little thing over the left eye is basically like an eye patch.

And the thing over her right eye is a mechanical iris, like in a camera lens, but it is NOT a lens.

Different lighting environments are going to be brighter or darker and you may have to squint more or less to let in the same amount of light into your eye. Squinting allows the shooter to get the sharpest possible vision in order to shoot a bullseye the size of a 12-point Times New Roman period.

But if you have to squint for hours for practice and in competition, this can strain your face muscles and become uncomfortable. So this iris basically squints for you.

It's more like wearing comfortable shoes so your feet do not hurt than a lens magnifying the target and giving an advantage.

Both athletes have access to these items. One felt more comfortable without them. The other didn't feel like getting a muscle cramp from squinting all day.

Either would have shot the same if they had or had not used these devices.

Just a funny difference in gear preference.

I should also add, the Turkish dad is the only one using lenses.

[sirfrogsworth]

I'd just like to add that Kim Yeji may look like a cool cyborg badass, but she and the Turkish dad only won silver.

The gold medal winner in the women's air pistol finals was adorable and a bit overshadowed.

Oh Ye-jin, who is only 19, won gold and set an Olympic record with her final score.

Kim Yeji is her mentor and seems very supportive of her.

Also, Oh Ye-jin added a little heart to the barrel blocking thingie.

I mean, it's like she got lost at summer camp and just wandered into the Olympics to win gold.

I think she deserves some attention too.

When I was watching the competition I kept wondering why they never showed the actual target as it was being shot. On the broadcast they just show a graphic of the target.

And then the commentator said the bullseye was literally the size of a period—smaller than the actual pellets they are shooting. And that the entire target was the size of a coin.

They'd have to set up a macro lens next to every target for you to see them.

Pretty much every shot lands within the 3 inner circles. And if you hit the 3rd circle your shot is basically garbage. Like you'd see the shooters grimace and do an angry little foot stomp if they hit it there.

Like, if you get a 7 you might as well go home.

And the best shot possible is a 10.9—which would be hitting as close to the bullseye as can be measured.

This was Oh Ye-jin's final gold medal winning shot.

A 10.6!

It's absolutely bonkers how precise these shooters are.

I mean... look at this period...

.

Now imagine trying to shoot it from 30 feet away.

I don't think my old ass could even see the damned thing.

[alexaloraetheris]

Thank you for the context, my nearsighted ass did NOT know this.

[datkat08]

Saw a post that said Sanji and Zoro both have the experience of starvation as a defining moment of their lives and I just,,,, the way Sanji feeds strangers and even his enemies because he refuses to let anyone else go through what he did,,, the way Zoro will eat anything put in front of him without complaint,,,, they make me so ill

[idontcarecarebear]

Reminder to self:

[pythosart]

I recently started playing Eliza in @bfleuter‘s custom Blades in the Dark setting, and the aesthetic/worldbuilding is so cool I kinda went nuts designing outfits and friend/rival npcs… I kinda rushed to finish these, because her backstory got cracked open sooner than I expected and the crew’s already met her sibling… and doppelgänger… Things moving quick Sorry all I post lately is Eliza…

[bfleuter]

In the epilogue of our Blades in the Dark campaign:

One player character became a hermit 

One became batman 

One (two?) became a wanderer 

One formed the BPRD / MIB 

One became a restaurant tycoon 

One became an actual Bloodborne boss

[bfleuter]

Oh man it’s such a hard story to talk about without a lot of context, though I do have a post with some info on the setting.

As for the character endings:

The hermit was originally a doomsday preacher that believed the city was unfixable and everyone should abandon it and live in the wastelands. In the end he helped restore the city but chose for his own life to be out there, alone. He did so with a sense of satisfaction. He was right, the city was broken. But he fixed it. Batman was originally the ghost of a child haunting the city. The god-level artifacts the crew found below the city at the end of the game allowed for the transfer of consciousness and for 3D printing life, so they made her a new body. She was still quite a vengeful handful after that, so they got her an apprenticeship with this city’s vigilante hero, and a decade later she took up the mask. The one (two) that became a wanderer was a sharpshooter and her doppelgänger. She used to be a part of a faction that would leave the city and explore the wastes, and her actions throughout the campaign lead to the destruction of that faction. After the final boss was defeated and the world began to heal and turn green again, she rebuilt the faction and would leave the city on excursions to explore the new world. But there was always one of her in the city, too. No one ever knew who was the real sharpshooter and who was her double.

The guy that formed the BPRD was originally a mafia enforcer of sorts. Cold and calculating but ultimately his crime and brutality was in service of protecting his community. When he understood the severity of the supernatural, and the potential of the god-tier technology buried under the city, he knew it needed moderation. He formed a shadowy organization that would keep the balance between humans and monsters.

The group’s psychic - a child of destiny, a voice of reason, a beacon of light in a dark and grimy world - settled down and opened a chain of restaurants. In this new, growing, green world there were so many new culinary opportunities to explore. He was extremely successful and would openly advocate for human-monster relations and would secretly fund (and keep in check) the BPRD.

And the bloodborne boss… The crew’s vampire was always growing and mutating. Hungry and self-loathing. She finally found purpose at the bottom of the world, guarding the strange technology found there with her immortal life and assuring it would never be used to create a monster like her ever again. The End of Immortality. The Last of the Dead.

I’m normal about this show……

MY MIND IS BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN

[zuzu-draws]

Trolling aside, i think there is some great importance as to why Gege chose this specific manner of panelling for the Yuji-Sukuna confrontation in JJK 264. We can't help but think that Gege's trying to show us some sort of a parallel between Gojo and Sukuna in this situation.

In JJK, there's this interesting notion of one's decision to go "North" or "South" as explained by Nanami during Gojo's death Flashback:

And we all know, that chapter of Gojo's death is titled as "Go South", which highly implies that Gojo chose to stay as who he was, as opposed to starting as something completely anew.

Now the interesting point in the Yuuji-Sukuna confrontation is that apparently...

....the destination for the supposed train within Yuuji's domain...is "North".

Which means that Yuuji's taking Sukuna towards the North.......

They're heading towards the North.....do you guys understand what that means?? For BOTH of them??? Q C Q

FROM DETECTIVE CRITICS (RESPONDING TO THE TWEET ABOVE) :

I find it very interesting that it follows the true nature of who Yuji is, and also the reference to Kenjaku? hmm 👀 🤔
