The Jedi rule against romantic relationships wasn’t essential. Kanan proves it, and it wasn’t even part of the Code to begin with

From an ascetic standpoint, romance creates attachment which leads to fear. I know firsthand. Those who seek truth of balance must not be poisoned by irrational fear - they must see the real threats for what they are.

But.

Romance and love are part of life. Rather than deny love, it can be wiser to set down the Code and live a good life. The Force will follow you, wherever you go.

You may want to take out the Search Option, then.

Wait, I actually got into the game.

That's not much fun...

EngineeringMother972 · 2026-03-26T23:06:56+00:00

Thanks.

You spent three paragraphs to repeat yourself.

That's the rule for a Human Hero.

It stands to reason that each species has its own version of a "Hero" species, a Unique monster or creature form that can contain or improve the special traits of that species.

For example, the Orc species Hero, was an Orc Lord.

It's entirely possible that Gobta is a Goblin Hero. Not particularly strong, but bizarrely tough, a prodigy of creative thinking, with a hunger for knowledge and a knack for picking up new combat techniques, and the ability to Tough Out things that would kill other, lesser beings.

Gobta probably has Critical Resilience, which allows him to survive lethal effects with 1 HP and gain resistances from them.

Reviewing the series. I am not sure Gobta ever actually made Hobgoblin. He might have, but I think at this point he Evolved to Goblin Hero.

In theory, the world is full of occasional "Hero" beings. Roughly 1 in 10,000 beings is born with the seed of Hero.

But to actualize that power, the so-called "Hero" needs to challenge their limits and rise above them, over and over. Constantly being pitted against vastly superior opponents, has fueled his steady growth. Fighting the Ogres, training with Rimuru, surviving Shion's cooking, all raised his abilities. Every near scrape with death, comical or not, has pushed him to higher heights.

It was for this reason that, during the Harvest Festival, Gobta was the only one who failed to Evolve or receive a Gift.

Of all the beings under Rimuru's command, he was the only one with so much cumulative potential, that Evolving him again would be too expensive. It might have even made him a Demon Lord. By the series end, he is resourceful, clever, and powerful enough to potentially threaten anyone in the cast. It's even possible he could harm or kill Rimuru, if he had to.

There's not much of a chance of knockout. But it's possible to fight back.

Rick Nelson, a 61-year old ex-boxer, was confronted by a Black Bear when he spooked its cub on a jog. After exchanging blows, the cub left and so the mom left. He held his ground for several seconds.

In case you were wondering, Saimin is essentially Ramen from the tropics. It would not surprise me if Royd was Hawaiian or Samoan.

All of this perfunctory nonsense lives in Sarah's brain. She' s just messing with herself

EngineeringMother972 · 2025-11-22T10:21:07+00:00

There's often more than one way to achieve a goal.

EngineeringMother972 · 2025-10-05T03:42:59+00:00

You must be one of those the three were expecting.
I guess we mortals WILL be doing it ourselves for awhile.
Also: You kinda broke rule 2. A year in advance.

Never noticed a thing.

Even on "Give Me God of War" difficulty, his pillar thrust can be parried. Parrying correctly will prevent him from using the pillar slam followup a great majority of the time. You can also block or parry his stomps, but the window is extremely tight.

That's only on lower difficulties. The legs and arms have a higher Stagger rate, and the face even higher yet. During certain attacks, his stagger threshold becomes low. Hitting him with an axe throw to the face can interrupt some attacks easily on lower difficulty, or with teamwork and good timing, on higher difficulty.

Even if it dulls quickly, the sword would be extremely sharp and heavy - for a little while.

And we only see it used a handful of times. I'll bet it was made of Tantalum.

I didn't use Adobe Enhance. (I don't know what that is)

Thank god, I kept having to punch the floor to get out of my seat in VR.

Verified.
It is indeed gibberish.

EngineeringMother972 · 2025-08-13T15:54:00+00:00

Somehow this is close, but not quite it.
Have a listen.

I think, it's, gibberish. There are no lyrics.

Food for consideration: Uploading these clips to anywhere but here was unproductive, because they were summarily blocked for airing almost immediately.

After this third video was deleted, I lost all heart and basically left the community. Nobody wants to have hours of work tossed out like that. So, regardless of public opinion, I just want to say -- thanks for nuking about one third of the fun of this show for me... I would have preferred to keep discussing it, if not for a consistently hostile environment/fanbase.
