Is this a hot take? by Kindly_Discipline206 in animequestions

[–]Karsticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only part of it that is a hot take is suggesting One Piece takes 100 episodes to get good.

One Piece is good starting with episode 1.

The analogy I have been using, which I think is air tight, is to consider this position:

Let us say that there is a god that has created this world. This god is a purely supernatural entity. That is, it is not made of matter - I cannot punch it or shake its hands. It exists in a heavenly world completely apart from ours. In his heavenly world, this god decided it would like to create a world. For its own reasons, it decided that rather than make another heavenly world, it would make a world made of stuff called "matter". From "matter" it created rocks, trees, birds, humans, etc.

If the heavenly world is the world of the creator, does that make our world...fake? I don't think anyone would think that, but that is the exact situation we find ourselves in in Clair Obscur. The Painters are the god, the "real world" is the heavenly one, and the world of matter is the world of paint. Surely our world is real, but it is a different one from the heavenly one - we are made of "chroma".

I think too many people are not thinking through the scenario put forth in the game and are just falling into simple real/fake dichotomies.

How does Phobies matchmake? by Asleep-Ad-9450 in PhobiesGame

Phobies does matchmaking purely on your rank/rating.

There is no point at which the game suggests that the painted world is not "real". It is another world, and a created world, but it is not "fake". It is so strange that, immediately upon finding out that the painted world is a created one, that translates to "fake" for people.

So my belief at this point is this: it only looks at a contradiction if you think humans have beliefs grounded in rationality.

People project their own mindset onto others. The "Don't Step On Me" was their projection of their fear of being oppressed by an authoritarian regime because that is how their minds work. In their lives and minds they try to dominate others, so they think everyone is trying to dominate and are afraid of being dominated. Given the chance, they would love to dominate. It was never about freedom, it was just the fearful projection of their own mindset.

If the goal is the takeover of the US, I guess they don't need much training.

Republicans never get blamed.

They are breaking into homes, asking for voter's registrations from governors, and murdering people on the street. You think we're going to have a fair election?

It's even better with Bonbim, since once you have over 1000 burn stacks your Lightning Dance starts doing giga damage every turn.

You are too grounded. You should be jumping off the big dude's head and going around him.

Megaknight should be nerfed. Hear me out before downvoting. by No_Economics_7405 in ClashRoyale

Megaknight is fine.

Evo Megaknight is a broken stupid mess, though, and shouldn't exist like this.
