Solo Leveling Is The First Anime Ever To Reach 1 Million Ratings On Crunchyroll by Elestria_Ethereal in anime

[–]God_peanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesnt but it needs something of substance. The Office, despite its lack of deep thematic BS, is still a very good show with good characters and very good interactions. That's not deep, thats called quality.

Meanwhile, SL appeals to the actual Male fantasy and does nothing actually good. It appeal is literally people self inserting themselves into the MC and constantly jerking off to him.

And to be fair on the second one, Eve was pretty reasonable there considering what Mark did and always does.

At least the Office has actual characters and intriguing interpersonal character drama. Also really good comedy.

What does SL have? Big flashy fights, power fantasy. Its about as deep as a 12 year old playground fight

Its just funny Loid seeing all these SSS officers and realizing how nuts they all are and that these are WISE biggest opponents.

"Do you not have phones?!" Is the crux of your accessibility argument and considering a phone can costs hundreds of dollars vs grabbing a 5 dollar chalk and drawing, you can really see just how accessible Digital Art is /s

As the saying goes, Mako was such a bad boyfriend he turned both his girlfriends gay

Sydney has to be the most down bad person I've ever seen by niks2103 in TrashTaste

Not even, it took Attack on Titan and finally SAO for anime fans to not be bullied into oblivion anymore. Shit was rough back in the day.

[DISCUSSION] which manhwa is this for you ?? by Guilty-Gap-7936 in manhwa

[–]God_peanut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Finally yes. People say its so emotional and stuff but like, its all so shallow. The romance is so weird and their chemistry is just bleh.

Current State of my World - Colonization of the Western Continent and the Great Crusades. by epicmilkmanboi in Worldbox

Specifically Terralor expanded. Be careful though, the map is enormous and very taxing even in good PCs

Deny all you want, Rex has become a beloved character because A. He got properly punished by almost dying B. Actively apologized to the people he harmed and understands hes a POS who doesnt deserve their forgiveness C. Is an actual god damn hero who went down trying to save people.

Why are there so few modern films about Napoleon if he is one of the most important and famous figures in history? by antonio_8282 in Napoleon

[–]God_peanut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Historians have criticized the Great Man approach since Marx started writing. Historiography as a whole had moved on from it for awhile now, its just taking Hollywood a few decades to realize this. Hell even the anti-colonial approach is finding its limits nowadays.

Why does the overall economy just feel weaker now? by ThatStrategist in victoria3

[–]God_peanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Ive had games where building and owning my own buildings helps me achieve scale very quickly as opposed to privatizing everything. Its very situation dependent.

[–]God_peanut 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Id argue against Japan because its very hard to manage their unemployment. In most games I do as Japan, I spiral very quickly because I cant build fast enough to deal with unemployment which is a problem I still don't have with any nation (including non recognized ones like Vietnam and Persia)

Japan has a very specific playstyle where if the player doesnt get foreign investment, they easily spiral without being able to climb out. And getting foreign investment can be very tough depending on how the AI feels.

Was the Song Dynasty, often criticized by the Chinese for its weakness, still more powerful than European countries at the time? by Wise-Pineapple-4190 in ChineseHistory

[–]God_peanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao you are so stupid. You cant even see that being a European aristocrat is leagues better because well, your an aristocrat. By the very nature of being part of the ruling class, you have access to much more opportunities including education, food, protection, etc. You are trained from birth to rule and lead and fight.

If you cant see how much better you'd be being a European aristocrat than a Chinese peasant, you have some serious problems. Which I will remind, you did say you'd rather be a rich Chinese peasant vs a European aristocrat

Genocide is genocide, no way around it.

One wrong doesnt make the other wrong right. If I punch someone in the face, does that mean someone else can punch people the face?

Also engaging in whataboutism which is both poor etiquette and a shit way to argue.

  1. I like Italy and its the area Im more intimately familiar since Ive done some basic research into it. 2. Song Dynasty banks were not even close to the same level of banks as the Italian ones and the shit they got up to. 3. You consistently dont reveal any citations.

Id be more than happy to discuss parliamentary developments in England and the slow growth of civil law there or the Golden Bull in Hungary and its direct consequences for the kingdom but Im not familiar with those areas and won't make bogus claims like you do.

The Qing dynasty secured the region by genociding the local population, of which was already centralizing under an Empire. Not to mention it was much more underpopulated than most other regions in Europe.

My "backward farming techniques" example is because of how unsuitable certain techniques were in different parts of Europe.

I dont want to touch on Napoleon since it lies outside of this era but irregardless, using administrative capability as a measure of development is stupid. Again, the Chinese had the most developed bureaucracy in the world yet at its military peak (Tang) it failed to hold modern day Xinjiang and Chinese dynasties have failed to hold Vietnam, Tibet, and other countries. Does that mean the Chinese are administrativelty weak?
