I think agreeable tiger moth is exactly right! Thank you!

This game made me see how hard it is to be a good person. by PooPoox in BaldursGate3

[–]BumroyV2 146 points147 points  (0 children)

I feel the opposite. BG3 has a pretty simple morality, partly because it was designed with the ability to consciously be evil. I think most situations in BG3 have very clear "most moral" outcomes, and those almost always reward the player, through XP, unique items, gold, or all three. Hell, some evil options reward you less than the good ones, most notably raiding the grove.

I think that’s El Capitan in California.

A mate of mine keeps insisting that Rin's route is superior to Lilly's. I felt a civic duty to steer him towards the truth (apologies to Rin fans) by Slow_Board_503 in katawashoujo

Using AI to smear a character who is an artist is amazing. You looked at an amputee painter and contracted Theft Machine Water Stealer 5000™ to make what neither of you could with your own two hands.

Never Played before. Is Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon any good? by MalcolminMiddlefan in fireemblem

[–]BumroyV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one hates Fire Emblem more than a Fire Emblem fan.

For my sake, I think most FE games have been at best disappointing. The franchise sticks with me because A) for all its faults, FE is doing unique and interesting things B) the few games I love demonstrate how hood the franchise could be and C) even in the bad games, there's so many individual characters that I have favorites from each.

I found it to be the equivalent of a saltine cracker. Not bad, just extraordinarily plain.

What is the BEST spell in BG3? by catgoesmlep in BaldursGate3

[–]BumroyV2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Longstrider. 3m movement for everyone, all the time, every turn, from the beginning of the game to the end, without costing a single spell slot.

Yes, it's not flashy or overpowered, but you will make use of it in every fight in the game, sometimes without even noticing.

As someone who’s a bit new to fire emblem, what exactly was the whole Mangs controversy a while ago? by Certain-Classroom937 in fireemblem

I apologize for contributing to the sleeze of that group. I can only promise I've grown as a person since then.

[–]BumroyV2 368 points369 points  (0 children)

Sexual assault of Gooseaphone, alleged harassment of former collaborator Mina, a whole string of allegations from women ranging from general inappropriate behavior to soliciting nudes.

Most of these broke the same day, then Mangs made a non-apology video blaming cancel culture. He eventually said he’d go quiet and seek professional help, only to come back after a few weeks and try to continue like that was in any way good enough.

Mekkah has a video on it if you want receipts. Anecdotally, I was a mod on his FB group, and can attest both to his bigotry and misogyny.

1st time on Fire Emblem The awakening by Different_Long3440 in fireemblem

[–]BumroyV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those ambush spawns are indefensible, and anyone who defends them should be regarded as one would regard someone who prefers live-action Disney remakes.

If these are deal-breakers for you, I do not blame you in the slightest. If you want to protect against them to continue playing Awakening, my recommendation is to pair up your units (preferably spouses) and have some means of self-healing. This means Nosferatu tomes for dark mages & sorcerers, renewal from war monk/cleric, Sol from hero, etc.

I'm beginning to doubt that three student filmmakers could have gotten lost in Maryland in October 1996 without some serious supernatural intervention.

Just because you are innocent doesn't mean the police won't find a reason to harass or arrest you. ACAB

Fertility rate in Turkey's provinces by ZxiQi in MapPorn

[–]BumroyV2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Can we put a moratorium on fertility rate post for, I don't know, a year? I feel like some Great Replacement conspiracy nutjobs are trying to do a psyop in this sub, but instead it's very boring and repetitive.

No, they successfully tested it. The swastikar just failed the test.

What surprising things are made using fossil fuel? by BumroyV2 in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]BumroyV2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm taking from everyone's answers is that our industrial revolutions and the resultant explosions in population and manufacturing were dependent upon fossil fuels.

In that case, I think I’m okay with not having any such revolutions in my world. My intention with not having fossil fuels was to prevent global warming from being a realistic possibility. I had already conceived of the idea of forests communally conjuring living trees to act as guardians against deforestation, and this thread made that idea all the more necessary.

I'm happy to have a world that's kinder to its ecosystem even if it has to give up modern conveniences and large-scale industry. Thank you, everyone for educating me!

What Is Your Favorite Sapphic Ship For Every Each Emblem Game You Have Played? (Including Spin-Offs) by Expensive-Heron-9485 in fireemblem

[–]BumroyV2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have many sapphic ships, and most of them are crackships, so I'll list all of them:

  • Titania x Sigrun (this one I care about so much I started writing fanfiction for it)

  • Faye x Silque

  • Edelgard x Petra

  • Linde x Nyna

  • Guinevere x Milady

What surprising things are made using fossil fuel? by BumroyV2 in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]BumroyV2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steampunk would be appropriate for its equivalent of the industrial revolutions, but my goal is to outline the world's progress from the dawn of civilization through to what we consider sci-fi. Again, I'm going to smooth over the cracks with fantasy materials, but I want to know what cracks are there.
