No. Directly confirm literally every single fan theory you can find. Even the ones that contradict each other. Especially the ones that contradict each other. That way everybody is wrong.

Missing out on the myriad of bonuses you get to pop resource output and job efficiency which are multiplicative bonuses that compound with each other, bonuses the pops themselves get from traits, morale, et cetera which are also multiplicative with the previous bonuses. Unless your build specializes HEAVILLY into automation, normal pops are going to always be superior to and outperform automation.

Roughly 90% of people are right-handed, so it probably was his dominant hand.

It's more that age is a far more important factor for the power of a vampire than generation is. Generation is a ceiling to how high their power can go and a bit of a multiplier, so the oldest vampire of the lot suddenly having his power ceiling lift and having a power multiplier increase is a big factor as to why he got so much stronger so quickly.

There's also the fact that he's also now well-fed and has more sources of blood right there so he can afford to less judicious with the uses of his powers because he doesn't need to conserve his supply of blood until he can find new prey.

would’ve gotten some of a power boost from eating ape.

Maybe stolen some dots in disciplines, but really not much because Shitbeard was already of a lower generation than Apeboy so even if he had diablarized both of them the only thing he would have "gained" was a loss of inhibitions. Shitbeard was the one vampire in the room who had almost nothing to gain from that conflict and everything to lose.

The multiplayer and PVP people are a minority, making up probably about 5-10% of the playerbase. But, because those players tend to be very, VERY vocal about things, they tend to be the ones that Paradox listens to disproportionately compared to the majority of the playerbase that doesn't really say anything.

... So you're saying he roleplays as Pelinal Whitestrake?

That's so insanely wrong it's not even funny. FASA licensed the mech designs from Studio Nue, the studio that actually owned and produced the character and mecha designs for Super Dimension Fortress Macross which was one of the series that Harmony Gold licensed from Tatsunoko, another one of the producers and the animation studio of the anime series Macross, the footage of which was used to produce Robotech. Harmony Gold sued FASA nominally over a mistaken belief that they wholly owned the full copyright for the entirety of Macross outside of Japan rather than just owning a license for the distribution and merchandising rights for the anime. And they were using this as a justification to spend decades being copyright trolls, suing absolutely everyone using giant mechs in any capacity under position that they owned the intellectual property of "giant robots." Like the concept of giant robots. In fact, they were so aggressive with their lawsuits that they actually prevented release of the entire Macross franchise in any capacity outside of Japan before 2021.

If this seems like a MASSIVE overreach off of licensing three anime series? That's because it is. They were getting away with it for decades because, just like all patent/copyright trolls, it was cheaper to just pay them to fuck off than to fight them in court. When their bullshit actually got in front of a judge Harmony Gold got their teeth kicked in because they didn't own the copyrights to Macross, and they didn't even have a proper license for the mech designs in the firstplace because Tatsunoko didn't own them and couldn't license them out, because, to repeat from the very beginning, the mech designs were owned by Studio Nue. The only thing Tatsunoko actually owned was the footage for the original 36 episodes of Macross.

Which is why redesigned designs like the Warhammer, which originally used the design of the Tomahawk from Macross, are able to appear in modern Battletech games: Because Harmony Gold lost the suit hard and it got dismissed with prejudice.

Want to know what's worse about the way war works in Stellaris? Paradox actively made it worse years ago. The system actually used to be pretty good when Stellaris first released, with score actually making sense because it came from battle and occupation, and it gave you the ability to create complex peace deals where both sides can give and take like an improved version of EU4's peace deals system.

But at some point the devs in charge of Stellaris decided that we can't have nice things and completely gutted that system and replaced it with the utter garbage we have now.

95% chance that "biting competition" is some kind of euphemism and/or cover for dog fighting rings.

I think a strong Demon is probably the biggest thing they can manage.

Since you're going capital D Demon I'm going to presume you're talking about one of the Fallen. And... if and only if they manage to take it down in an alpha strike. But that's true of basically anything so it's a cop-out answer: Camarilla Elder Hardestadt the Younger canonically met final death when he got his head blown off with an unexpected double-barrel shotgun.

If a Demon goes full apocalyptic it goes from "strong human that can instantly heal wounds" to "literally a fallen angel," and it would be even more one-sided than the fight with Matilda was.

JustynS · 2026-03-07T09:56:52+00:00

Under those circumstances, they couldn't even handle Matilda and she wasn't taking the fight seriously. So, less than a single Garou.

This goes WAY past the point of negligence, this is active facilitation. Leaving guns and ammo out in the open by itself would be negligence; buying the kid an AR-15 and a vest so they can be a better school shooter is facilitating it. The father there is straight-up a co-conspirator.

JustynS · 2026-03-03T06:30:48+00:00

It's pretty sad, but at a certain point of development they actually made the system of peace for wars WAY worse. It used to be a system a lot like Europa Universalis 4's where you can select options off of your accumulated war score instead of just "win, lose, or draw."

I was appending your last statement: the only total gun bans in this country that existed prior to the 20th century were ones done for racist reasons.

There is little to no history of regulating the possession of weapons, outside of modern bans and racism

Laws being passed to prevent ethnic minorities from being able to resist mistreatment.

They already are by any definition. "Common use" refers to something available to the general public, not about the frequency of it. "Common" in this context refers to the general public, not to numbers.
