I think that very much might vary from person to person. There are people who might be able to get over the physical act of cheating, but that the emotional connection of cheating be too much to bare. They are different but that doesn't make one lesser than the other. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |

That's clearly an end game boss, if not deep post-game.

| Topic | Video game waifu of the year Semifinals:Yunaka vs Ashley Graham |
| Compsognathus 11/14/23 11:54:24 PM #36 | Calwings posted...
Yunaka with Corrin's emblem ring. She generates fog with Corrin's ability that increases her avoid, and she also gets higher crit when she's on a tile that increases avoid. Outside of being bombarded by chain attacks from several backup units (which have a flat accuracy no matter how much avoid you have) she's nearly unkillable. Her low defense doesn't matter if she dodges almost everything that comes her way, and her low strength doesn't hurt as much because daggers gain a lot more bonuses from forging and she also gets more critical hits. Plus, even if she doesn't get the kills on those enemies she's tanking, you can just have your other units come in and kill the weakened enemies on your turn.The problem is that this strategy just straight up doesn't work in Maddening difficulty. Enemies won't target units they do zero damage to or have no chance to hit. So they just ignore her. Which means you have to manage her avoid to keep it low enough to not realistically get hit, because she gets ripped apart by basically anything, but not too high so she doesn't get ignored. And she'll do just insignificant damage with her low strength. So she doesn't see a lot of combat or get kills, so she's really only leveling through Great Sacrifice spam and that's a pretty limited resource. So odds are she'll be completely out performed by Zelkov when you get him who just does Yunaka's deal better. Now on Hard Mode, 0 Hit Dodge-tanking works and enemies are much less bulky so Yunaka's stock rises a ton. She'll still probably get outclassed by Zelkov when you get him though. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |

| Topic | The power of a Knight's Radiant or The power of Superman |
| Compsognathus 11/14/23 1:17:30 AM #3 | Assuming a yellow sun is nearby, Kryptonian powers are way more convenient. You get extremely high levels of strength, durability, speed, energy protection, senses and flight. All for basically free.
Knight's Radiant abilities are a ton of work and the power source is much less convenient. And while many of the abilities are very cool, they just don't have the sheer extreme limits Kryptonian abilities do. A single punch from a Kryptonian would completely obliterate shardplate. Shardblades could hurt a Kryptonian, but no Radiant would have the speed to tag a Kryptonian with one. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |

I dont know what the difference between Diet Soda and Zero Sugar Soda isBasically the technology to make calorie-free soda has come a long way since most of the recipes for the original diet sodas were made. So Coke Zero taste a lot more like Coke than Diet Coke. But over the decades a lot of the diet sodas have developed their own consumer bases. A Diet Coke fan doesn't want something that taste close to Coke. They want the Diet Coke flavor they know and love. So that's how you get two product lines that have the same goal but have different end results. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |

| Topic | Was the Empire wrong for blowing up Alderaan.. |
| Compsognathus 11/11/23 12:56:44 PM #9 | Except Alderaan really didn't have anything to do with the Rebellion. There were no bases there. No weapons. Bail Organa was on the planet, sure, but apprehending him was not the issue. The Empire could have snagged him at any time. He wasn't hiding. So the Empire's entire premise was wrong and even they knew that. They knowingly destroyed a planet as a power display.
What's more is that destroying Alderaan was a giant tactical mistake. It galvanized rebellion. It caused mass desertion in the military as the veneer of justice and order was ripped away for many of the enlisted. They made their enemies stronger and more determined to fight and built up sympathy for their cause. If they would have just attacked Yavin IV, a planet with actual rebel military presence, they would have dealt the rebellion a death blow while also not turning swathes of the galaxy against them. Setting tactics aside, mass murdering civilians is evil, regardless of your objective. So even if the rebellion had a base on Alderaan, it'd be wrong to blow the whole planet up. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |
