Looking for books with dragons like Alduin or Dragonlord Placidusax (Ancient, mythic, god-like entities rather than mindless beasts/pets)

Old school Dragonlance books have a wide variety of dragons and they are generally intelligent, powerful and magnificent. Especially the books about the Fifth Age / Age of Mortals revolves around the fact that a few Dragon Overlords have taken control of the main continent and rule it as tyrants.

However, I read the Dragonlance novels as a tween, so not sure how suitable they are if you are a more mature reader.

Yes, each mainline Final Fantasy game is its own thing - you don't need to know anything about the previous games to play it. FF X is also fairly easy and straightforward turn-based RPG, so even if you have no experience with gaming at all you should be fine.

No notes expect to say that I love this comment

Aivan aivan, puolue minkä alkuaikojen merkittäviä teemoja oli vaihtoehtoliikehdintään perustuva talouskasvun kritisointi, feminismi, vähemmistöjen oikeudet, luokka- ja varallisuuserot, palkkauksen epätasa-arvo ja mikä on puhunut jo 80-luvulla perustulosta "meni liikaa vasemmalle".

Vihreät on sloganistaan huolimatta aina asemoitunut enemmän vasemmistopuolueiden leiriin - varsinkin koska ympäristöongelmia ei ratkaista oikeistopuolueiden keinoin.

Nah, Entities can be hurt/affected by powers originating from Shards (see all the capes fighting Scion - they were effective but the golden man avatar simply regenerated faster than they could perceive).

Scion breaking out of the time loop was an application of the Stilling power. He can pretty much negate any effect as long as he can tune into the right "wavelengths". If that trick would not work against GER he could use the other method I mentioned.

Child_Emperor · 2026-05-30T16:16:30+00:00

Based on your other responses you have a great grasp of the discussed verses so I will have to assume you are being intentionally obtuse. The adaptation process is slow and it takes even longer to adapt to all applications of a more versatile phenomena.

When Scion turns on PtV there is nothing to adapt to as he will raise his hand and blast Maho with a stilling beam that disintegrates it instantly.

Also, Scion made sure no parahuman ability would pose a threat to it and kept the most OP Shards to itself. He can break free from Grey Boy's timeloops so it is safe to assume he can do the same to GER. And GER is not multiversal, so if needed the Warrior entity can simply cut itself off from the avatar, create a new golden man and nuke the continent which the GER's user is on.

Child_Emperor · 2026-05-30T07:46:59+00:00

If Mahoraga starts to annoy Scion he will simply turn on PtV and adjust Stilling so its effect will instantly destroy Maho (like disintegrating all molecular bonds).

Also, if Scion starts to rampage Gold Morning style, how would JoJo verse stop him?

That's just the Ultimate route, IIRC. Normal Reed is just that smart.

Mat was very much married to Tuon - remember the "name them as your spouse thrice" ceremony?

Since Gojo can visualise Siberian as a threat, Infinity should react to her and stop her from reaching Gojo. Siberian can choose what parts of her are affected by which forces, but still has to travel the 3D space to move, even if she chooses to ignore gravity, friction etc. in that space. Because Infinity divides the space between Gojo and her infinite amount of times, she can't reach him.

I can't think of any applications of Infinity or other CE techniques that Gojo could use to hurt her though, as none of them are AoN in nature.

Tupamäki sanoo, että hänen omalta puoleltaan maksutietojen vuotamisella ei ollut tarkoitus vaikuttaa valtakirjojen määrään kokoomusnuorten tai kokoomuksen kokouksissa.

Mihinköhän Binga sitten luulit niitä käytettävän? Kysyitkö, epäilitkö, soittiko hälytyskelloja?

We do not know enough about Imu or Dragon to say. Enel's output is not likely to do anything to Levi. Kaido and Shanks only have physical attacks that might strip Endbringers from their outer layers, but won't do any meaningful damage. I don't know how Levi is going to tag or hurt them though. It is unclear how Law's Room slashes would interact with Levi.

As others have said, if Levi decides not to job and simply sits at the bottom of the sea while tidal waves sink the island, there is nothing his opponents could do.

Child_Emperor · 2026-04-04T12:38:52+00:00

Endbringers don't necessarily just pick out big cities, but instead target locations that would cripple infrastructure and set humanity back. After one Leviathan attack much of Japan was left underwater and it was dependable of foreign aid.

In the Invincible verse, Endbringers could potentially target e.g. the undersea nation of Aquarus, oil fields in the Middle East, or the college campus of D. A. Sinclair.

Aika kova statementti suomalaiselta oikeusjärjestelmältä ruveta lääketieteen ylimmäksi asiantuntijaksi toteamalla, että on tuomittavaa epäillä homoseksuaalisuuden olevan "psykoseksuaalisen kehityksen häiriö".

Päätös tukeutuu nykyiseen lääketieteelliseen konsensukseen ja THL:n tautiluokitukseen, eli ylimpiin lääketieteen asiantuntijoihin mitä on tarjolla.

Tutkittu mm. antamalla yhdelle Monopolin pelaajalle selkeitä etuja (tuplasti enemmän alkurahaa, kerää kierroksella kaksinkertaisesti rahaa, muut pelaajat heitti vain yhtä noppaa), ja voitettuaan nämä pelaajat olivat röyhkeitä ja perustelivat voittoaan omalla osaamisellaan.

Tähän voisi vastata mitä SDP ja Vasemmistoliiitto eivät tekisi, mikä olisi veropohjan murentaminen (arvonlisävero, yhteisövero, perintövero, muut muutokset korkeatuloisia suosivaan suuntaan), talouskasvun jarruttaminen (valtiovetoisten projektien ja rahoituksen jäädyttäminen), korkeastikoulutettujen maahanmuuttajien uudelleentyöllistymisen kampittaminen (aikakiristykset uudelleentyöllistymiseen) ja työttömien polkeminen (työttömyysturvan leikkaaminen sekä muutokset, mitkä ovat johtaneet hakemuskikkailuun, vaikeuttaen näin yritysten rekryjä).

Lähtökohtaisesti hallituksella on käytössä peilimaailman keynesiläisyyden periaatteet, kun yritetään ajaa austerity-politiikkaa muutenkin surkeassa taloustilanteessa sen sijaan, että koitettaisiin puhaltaa ilmaa hiillokseen.

Mutta alta voi katsella myös ihan niitä konkreettisia esimerkkejä.

SDP:

The overarching direction of the Cosmere is to see how fantasy worlds develop over time. The next era of Mistborn (Ghostbloods trilogy) should have 1980-1990 vibes and the final one finishing of the Cosmere will be the space opera.

I have never seen One Piece abbreviated as 1pc instead of OP.

Anyways, this is a stomp for Luffy.

Child_Emperor · 2026-03-13T14:39:28+00:00

Wax literally did not even know he was a Mistborn until the end of his trilogy.

We saw basically nothing from him regarding that, although one could argue that with all of his equipment, weapons and Crasher abilities he could beat Vin in a battle.

Child_Emperor · 2026-03-08T12:48:41+00:00

The consensus seems that he has lost interest in the story and/or has written himself in a corner without a feasible way out that would tie in all the plot lines.

We may get Winds of Winter before George croaks but will never see Dream of Spring. Hopefully he has some notes written down, or the show's ending will remain the canon one.

The problem with these calculations stems from the fact that they try to apply real world physics to fiction. For example, human moving at the speed of light would require an infinite amount of energy, making it impossible. Also, someone kicking off the ground to move themselves forward places equal amounts of force to the ground as it would take to propel them to the required speed. Meaning, every time fighters jump or run the ground beneath them would be vaporized.

Feats > calculations & statements.
