@ShitpostRock2 ๐ฉโ๐ป"Welcome to this fighting tournament where your opponents are obsessed with power and trying to kill you. What's your fighting style?"
๐คOh hehe my 'martial art' is actually pacifism, because it's the most moral and logical!
๐...
๐ญHow did I lose?!
@ShitpostRock2@AgreeingBook13 Outside of elemental & status resists, armor was such a scam in 2 and 3.
You have to level up your equip load, ruin your stamina regen, & make more noise just so you can take like 10% reduced damage over naked/rags. Oh and poise is almost entirely useless too...
@dyingscribe Hot take, but Misandry-posting is the one exception where I actually get a little less angry when I see it coming from a South Asian account.
You think "all men are pigs"?!-๐คจ๐[Fatima๐ต๐ฐ]
Ok nvm, that's fair... Speak your truth, girl๐ซก
@dyingscribe Meanwhile humans are like monkeys who stopped in-fighting yesterday, built a shitty raft, found a rusty gun on the way, fought the Turian military to a draw, nuked ourselves so the 0.0001% survivors could be Biotics, and are now their equals
Like yeah, I'd be pretty fearful too๐
@dyingscribe I mean most council races are evolutionary nepo babies who stagnated, but Asari are actually just pathetic
Biologically crafted, 50k year head-start, spawn in with Element Zero + Prothean tech + Mass Relay + A BEACON, first to the Citadel, and are still bitches who cling to power
@dyingscribe *also TBF Ivy was mind controlling them so they were nerfed & just ran into her fist??? A decent caveat, but still shit.
You have the greatest mind and greatest thief. Lure them down a corridor, steal the Rogues' weapons, fight in the water or air, IDK anything but an open brawl
@dyingscribe Powescalingโข discourse can be cringe & say shit like "Catwoman is a lower tier & could never beat a speedster"
A good writer would understand that, but write a dozen believable & creative ways she could through tricks, traps, tools, etc.
A bad writer would just make her faster.
@BigDickBarclay It got a big surge from podcasts + Covid where people would play remotely on Virtual Table Tops (VTT).
Then they bought or cracked down on those and are trying to make their own. Subscription servers, rulebooks, monster manuals, "DLC" books, maps, modules (pre-made stories), etc
@ShitpostRock2 My hot take is that I actually like the Nilfgard armor (by itself). Is it fitting for their army or the setting or even look cool? Of course not.
But I could totally see it worn by minions of a necromancer. Some shitty scrotum-looking boiled leather armor made from monster hide.
@wwarrior_1 I thought this movie was some dumb "loser" comedy for the longest time, but it had me choking up when I finally watched it. Such a good performance by Gosling.
@ManletThorin How Dark Side MFs look at you before saying shit like "Erm actually the force is super complex and gray. It's problematic to reduce it to just good and evil!"
@lordvictor TNG's LCARS is a nice middle ground for random science bullshit on the background screens while still looking believable enough. It does get really silly when they actually interact with it and press buttons, though.
Also the techno-babble is surprisingly good too.
