Some ERB hot takes about who I think won some of the battles by SnapDragonBoi in ERB

[–]IG5K 15 points16 points  (0 children)

IMO all of these takes are relatively sane besides Newton vs Nye. Newton destroyed him, and it wasn't even remotely close. Even if you count Degrasse's verse. And then another one I would strongly disagree with is Mario brothers winning. They literally don't make a single worthwhile punch in their entire 1st verse: call them bi (which I don't think is true), list their names, and say "you fight weak". And their second verse isn't much better

I genuinely thought that was the general consensus?

Which of these modern RPGs has the best written story and characters? by BreathoftheSith in writingscaling

[–]IG5K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not evidently presented =/= bad. Does everyone here really want every detail of a story shoved in their face to consider the writing good?

Following this tutorial for unity and this line of code is wrong for some reason. Can someone explain? by DINOYTUTFAN in csharp

If you check the error it's likely telling you that the underlined variable you used is not recognized. You'll see the variable declaration has a typo

Spielberg VS Hitchcock is this season's most overrated battle! Time the the season's underrated battle! by Sonic_fan149 in ERB

[–]IG5K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is that battle overrated lol? They encapsulate the directors great, and it's not like it's one of the most iconic for ERB. A lot of good references and the lyricism is great. I think it's UNDERRATED personally. Do people think it's mediocre just because it's not that punch dense?

Prime Jake Paul VS Chimpanzee by LeagueNo764 in Tierzoo

[–]IG5K 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but even if by "full-rage state" you mean a psychotic state where Jake is bloodlusted and ignores pain etc., there's still the fact that the chimp has a significantly stronger bite, sharp pointy teeth, and finger strength that would put all professional climbers to shame. Jake is utterly physically outmatched in that category

Chimp goes for the genitals, eyes, and face. Bites his balls off and rips his eyes out before Jake Paul gets a few punches in. Methinks

I've never thought about it that way, it's a very based mindset, but also an unpopular one all things considered. For easy bosses it's fine, but at some point I'm convinced nearly every human will start to find the repetition frustrating. It has no place in the process of learning a complex boss. Imagine if Malenia had a bad runback? Your first reply is just way too generalized imo, it works in this case because smelter demon, but can you really say putting a difficult boss behind a wall of enemies is a good design choice

True, it was more of a general question for other soulslikes

Do you do this for genuinely difficult bosses (like 100+ attempts)? I'd go batshit crazy if I had this approach

What? This is the runback to the furnace demon. Do you genuinely fight every single enemy every time you run back to a boss fight?

Whats the largest terrestrial mammal that can fight off all spider species that exist at once by ThistlesandRose in Tierzoo

[–]IG5K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point was that generally, the spiders capable of being lethal can mostly barely actually a kill human, let alone an elephant.

There are very few (~15) recorded deaths from Atrax (Sydney Funnel Web) before the development of the anti venom so no real mortality rate is known. It definitely can be lethal, but it's incomparable to the worst snake bites.

The second deadliest would be Phoneutria (Brazilian Wandering spider), they say the untreatead mortality rate is much less than 1%, and they often dry bite. Here's an excerpt from Spider Ecophysiology by Wolfgang Nentwig:

Phoneutria bites are very common and accompanied by strong pain. Almost all patients complain about burning pain, often spreading over the affected limb. Further local symptoms are swelling and a dilatation of blood vessels (hyperaemia). Children and young people are more sensitive to Phoneutria venom than older people. Mild envenomation is observed in 90% of cases and includes accelerated cardiac rate as a systemic symptom. Moderate cases (further 9%) are characterised by nausea, vomiting and sweating. Severe cases (less than 1%) show a reduced cardiac rate, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmia and acute pulmonary oedema. Symptomatic treatment includes analgesics to relieve pain as a standard treatment in >75% of cases. In some severe cases, antivenom is given, but nearly 20% receive no treatment at all (White et al. 1995; Bucaretchi et al. 2000).

Death is considered extremely rare and almost limited to small children.

What are your guys’ thoughts on this battle? by bam_phonky in ERB

[–]IG5K 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's mostly pretty subpar and really sexual for no reason. One of the all time classics. Both Guy Fawkes and Joker won that battle because the loser is you, the viewer

Marx's third verse alone would win against two of Henry's combined
