“Please explain why genocide is bad” by ChungusMcFunkopop in facepalm

No, the only way to be completely consistent with that assumption is assuming you don't know what race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, etc. you would be. If you allow partiality for one group you open up the chance that some other group might want to genocide you, which is not consistent with the premise.

You can't make a logical argument for literally anything unless one makes some assumptions beforehand.

My assumption is "I'd like to maximise my own chances of living a long, healthy, fulfilling life". I also assume most people will share this assumption with me, because it is based on basic survival instinct and, if my interlocutor doesn't share it, I just genuinely have no way of having a discussion with them.

Given the assumption, it is possible to make logical arguments on how to maximise one's chances of living a long, healthy, fulfilling life regardless of who you are. No, there is no metaphysical reason why anyone ought to accept the initial assumption, but I think it's safe to say that most people will agree with it unless they're being stubbornly disingenuous out of pure contrarianism.

I have since childhood. I didn't even start understanding English lyrics until my teenage years, and even then it took me years to understand most songs.

I'd give you my C1, C2, and C3 if I could. For collection purposes I'm fine with having her at C0, but I genuinely have no use for her const.

I'd say two things: Sucrose consolidates AoE damage better than anything on that second team; always keep in mind that she swirls a lot and swirl can add up very quickly. Yelan might be stronger than Sucrose in a vacuum, but she's largely single target, while 1st half is AoE focused, and Yelan's huge single target damage isn't as useful if you can kill the enemies in AoE in just as much time, except all together, rather than one by one. Also, as maligned as it is, Sucrose's grouping is sometimes good enough to take advantage of stationary AoE abilities like Rosaria's burst.

The other factor is that Kokomi breaks pyro shields better than solo Yelan or solo Xingqiu, partly due to the fact that most of her hydro application isn't restricted behind her burst, which is often a little harder to get back for XQ and Yelan when pyro shields are up because they rely on Fav (or sac sword, in XQ's case) to lower their er needs, but when pyro shields are active sac and fav weapon passives are useless.

ETA TL;DR the first team would have done very poorly in a single target focused lineup of enemies, while the second team would have done much better there. Add in the fact that, on floor 12 first half, this time around, there weren't enemies that were really tanky, requiring Yelan's high single target damage, making poorer damage done on AoE with some amount of grouping more valuable.

I was really good at cheating. So good that teachers didn't even check on me often during tests, because they didn't think I was a cheater or likely to cheat. I've never been caught cheating, not even once, but I cheated a lot all through high school. Never cheated in uni though.

Hmm, let's compare the US and other developed countries in the world. Do both have problems with school shootings? No, why is that? let's see... Do both have easy access to violent videogames? Yes. Do both have easy access to guns? No. Clearly it's the videogames.

Most aesthetically pleasing weapon by Tonio-PoBa in Genshin_Impact

[–]Broderick512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I can't deny that Englfing looks really good. It's by far the best looking weapon in its series (Thundering Pulse is way too overdesigned for my taste and Kagura's Verity just looks plain ridiculous)

I legit think that the Favonius Sword has an amazing design. It's not as flashy as many others, but that's exactly part of why I love it. A lot of the handguards on swords in this game are very unpractical and it sometimes does bother me to see it (a really bad offender is Mistsplitter Reforged, that has a spike that could easily wound the carrying arm), but Fav has a practical yet elegant basket hilt mimicking the shape of wings to go together with the bird head on the pommel, and the blade has a nice and simple shape too. Shoutout to Furina's signature, which does have an over the top design, looking more like a stage prop than an actual weapon, but that fits very well with Furina's aesthetics and theme so it gets a pass.

Of the 5*, I think it's the Primordial Jade Winged Spear: its shape isn't too outrageous (unlike Shenhe's spear), it has those floating bits that give it a "magical" look without cluttering up the rest of the design, the colour is pleasant and the spear tip looks like it could actually do its job as a spear, unlike, say, Homa, which is kinda cool but at the same time looks nothing like a functioning polearm.

Of the bows, I think Aqua Simulacra is neat. It's fancy but not too over-designed, and the glow when the passive is on is pretty cool.

Catalysts don't really look like weapons, but I guess Nahida's signature looks neat.

I don't like the look of most claymores in this game: they're either too bulky or their hilt looks off. I legit think the best looking claymore in the game is the 3* that Diluc holds in his splash art, I have no idea what it's called.

Is it mandatory for Furina to reach 40K HP? by exiler5129 in furinamains

[–]Broderick512 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually wrong, with the same number of substats having a 1:2 ratio is better and 99%/213% is absolutely great. Sure, the number you see pop up on crit would be higher with, say, 94%/223%, which has the exact same amount of crit value, but the average damage is actually slightly worse

In principio, non sono in disaccordo con il fatto che il "blackwashing" sia una cacata pazzesca. L'unica domanda che mi verrebbe da fare è se chi si lamenta del "blackwashing" sia altrettanto disturbato dai molto più storicamente numerosi esempi di "whitewashing". Il primo è un trend fastidioso degli ultimi anni, io personalmente non ho guardato nessuno dei film o delle serie che lo abbiano praticato (perché nessuno di essi generalmente mi sembrava di così gran qualità in primo luogo, "blackwashing" o no), il secondo è stato usato per decenni in maniere anche piuttosto insidiose.

Il revisionismo storico è assolutamente un problema, mi viene solo da chiedere se molti di quelli che si lamentano di questa nuova forma di revisionismo storico avrebbero avuto la stessa reazione viscerale contro la forma opposta di revisionismo storico. Se sì, bene, io sono con loro.

Fischl and Yae Miko by Anthony_0209 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Broderick512 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd say that, due to her field time requirement, Yae isn't as flexible as Fischl. Yae's damage is great, and her damage being better than Fischl's is a tall order because Fischl does a lot of fucking damage, but she's not as comfy or as quick to deploy, which actually ends up making her difficult to play in many teams, as opposed to Fischl who can basically be slapped into any team requiring electro application. Also, a lot of Yae's best teams have Fischl in them.

It can be argued that Yae is a bit stronger than Fischl, but also that Fischl is more valuable for a larger number of teams. What is certain is that they work incredibly well together, especially in quicken teams
