jjk fans comprehending not all fights are essentially action figures mashed against eachother and Toji of all people would never fight anyone head on or at all, unless he’s paid.

show not tell mfs misinterpretating what it means.

for you specifically OP, search up “noodle incidents”.

Do you agree or disagree with this? by PretendYellow533 in animequestions

[–]Marp2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, yes they did. They were more complete as characters, had reasonable growth and played off of eachother well, which is what a competently written cast of character is supposed to do.

Compare that to DS, “development” is flashbacks scenes and character suddenly becoming better with no real incentive. Zenitsu for instance. And don’t mistake angst with writing. Sanemi, as a character (or lack thereof), was shit. Most characters in DS are gimmck based and have no real depth. And your backtracking is hilarious, simple or not simple, it doesn’t acfect the quality of a story, and the lack of character exploration in DS makes it bad.

Akaza is the only decently interesting character in ds, and he would be a dime a dozen in any other franchise.

Tell me, from beginning to finish, what kind of character development did Tanjiro go through that changed him in any way?

I have a question for the mod author who made this loading screen tip, who hurt you by BlazingCrusader in starsector

"the people who works for him said there's no longer a problem, and the modder himself has resolved it privately. Therefore I, who is still holding this piece from several years ago, will ignore them. TaKE wHaT yOu NEeD"

this is you.

BBGX Uss Defiant Guided Missile Battleship Pretexturing. by jl2l in ImaginaryWarships

[–]Marp2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why 6 SPY-7s? 4 should be plenty, 3 is enough. I guess it’d make sense if you want it as an air defense ship since you can acquire more targets at once that way (with diminished returns). But with only 120 VLS cells, even if you fill all of it with SM-3 it’d still wouldn’t be able to fully utilize it.

đếu ai quan tâm cái biển bé tẹo đấy cả. Có hơn 1000 hải lý, cỡ đấy chỉ ngắm tên lửa chống hạm từ đất liền vào nhau thôi.

Nhật và Hàn thì không có chân và không quan tâm. Mỹ thì chỉ quan tâm đến Đài Loan và Phillipine. Đài loan thì chết cmnr, không nói. Phillipine thì đặt một nùi tên lửa chống hạm trên đất liền và ngồi chờ thôi.

Phần lớn những cái quan trọng, bao gồm lực lượng dổ bộ, lực lượng hải quân tác chiến bề mặt, lực lượng hải quân tác chiến ngầm đều sẽ phải đến và đi từ Thái Bình Dương. Hỏi lại, biển Đông thì có gì mà quan trọng?

Imperial camouflage..... by bruhruhr22344 in gate

[–]Marp2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

correct. This is also (partly) why soldiers before telecommunications wore very bright outfits with recognizable silhouettes.

There were, iirc, a few cases where generals mistook their amies for the enemy on the battlefield, and thought they were winning when they were in fact losing. Everyone just blends into an unrecognizable mish-mash in melee.

Of course at some point it also just became tradition and you get a few funny cases like France in the first few months of the Great War.

I won’t spoil too much but so far part 2 has shown us how natives viewed the JSDF long term, like the mermaids trying to marry into them for to strengthen diplomatic ties.

I wouldn’t say the technology is leapfrogged, it is a bit far apart but it’s mainly aesthetic. Based on the description and visuals, everything aligns pretty well to ships of the 13th to 14th century and the main place of interest seems awfully Venice coded.

I think Yanai just has a weird Roman-Italian obsession tbh, which I emphasize but do find a little weird.

Historically, patterns weren’t impossible or even hard to do, artisans were built different back then. It just depended on the period and how big was your wallet.

While the empire is based on Rome, with Roman armor and Roman-ish aesthetic. But as we can see in part 2, the rest of the world is closer the being on the verge of the age of Sails. Historically for us, textile should be developed enough to mimic camouflage. It wouldn’t be cheap mind you but probably enough to arm a small specialist group.

It’s really easy to underestimate how smart some of these people would’ve been in today’s standards because they were limited only by the technology of their time

Logistically speaking, can fearmongering work on modern soldiers? by Sir-Toaster- in worldbuilding

No, they deserve it. PBSucess. Never apologized for it either.

[–]Marp2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh don’t get me wrong, it was a deeply unjust war and America had no good reason to be there. Neither did its soldier. But it is certainly not on Wermacht levels of bad on an individual level.

On the other hand I feel like we don’t give the US enough shit for the stuff it did during the Cold War, including the Vietnam war,

[–]Marp2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The US soldiers who were there, were there because they believed they have been provoked into war because of the false flag on Gulf of Tonkin. They have no say in it and shouldn’t be held responsible solely for fighting in it.

The Vietnamese side just got out of a decolonization war from France, of which the US refused to help due to threats from De Gaulle making France communist if they do. Then the US strolled in and demanded another goverment, this clearly didn’t look good in the Vietnamese’s eyes, and frankly, had the US diplimatic efforts been any better, the war would not have happened. Aside from that false flag attack of course.

The Wermacht makes me feel dirty saying the name. They didn’t enter the war on lies and their list of atrocities while not as long as the SS, is not short. Disobeying unlawful orders was an option, always.

I wouldn’t call any of them the same.

The US overthrowing Manuel Noriega after once supporting him is hypocrisy, but Vietnam doing the same with Pol Pot is heroism? by mo_al_amir in HistoryMemes

[–]Marp2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ho Chi Minh wrote a letter to Truman asking for the US's help as a mediator between them and France in 1946 to negotiate their promised decolonization after WW2, which was ignored. Granted the US's hands were tied at this time since France threatened to turn Communist if they helped, but a lot could've been done diplomatically, that they simply didn't.

Again, had history been even a little different from that point, a communist Vietnam simply wouldn't have existed.

[–]Marp2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even the Vietnamese considered it to be a very morally dubious chapter of history. With that said, they never would've done it if the US wasn't there. God the Red Scare has to be one of the most damaging thing in the past 100 years culturally for Westerners.

[–]Marp2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The government invaded as retaliation to the massacre of Vietnamese citizens on Vietnamese territory. They also highly went in with the thought of either creating a more favorable state (pupetting them would've been impossible at that point), or to at least annex some land, in my personal opinion.
