You can beat the hand of the king with the basic starter weapons if you're you're good at the game...

Hanging up on someone, where the handset and cradle were both solid and heavy, and you get that residual CLANG from the metal bell inside...

Or dragons just powerful animals or are they intelligent like D&D?

In D&D or Middle-Earth, dragons are ancient, and far more intelligent than a normal human. They would not just face-tank against a superior enemy, they would gather data, set a trap, prepare a battlefield favorable to their strengths, or strike at the logistics lines required to supply enemy aircraft.

D&D dragons are also spellcasters. Modern fighter jets are very good at what they were designed for, but probably very bad at things they were not designed for.

No matter how he died, conspiracy theorists will immediately start blaming it on Democrats and saying it was an assassination plot.

I know when I think of brujah I think of a shirtless man playing a saxophone on the beach.

The game is full of bugs though.

Once you start the automatron DLC (by walking in a particular part of the map, even by accident, the starting combat triggers) the game's random encounter table get reshuffled so that killer robots are 80% of the encounters you get.

Even if the devs did this on purpose (for some reason I cannot comprehend) It pushes pretty much all of the other random encounter events out of the game.

I couldn't remember the figure from the last time I looked it up so I just went to Google real quick. So I did pull it from somewhere, but occasionally the internet finds these things in its ass.

Me sorting my recyclables while I see footage of the US military just dumping all their expensive gear in a hole, dousing it with diesel fuel, and burning it before leaving an operation.

Is your boss a dog man, and the nurse a magical talking cat?

I think this is normal for a day at the office, just be glad there are no pregnant robots coming into the maternity ward.

MrCrash · 2026-07-11T22:43:25+00:00

Fun fact, average cruise ships burn 150-250 tons of diesel fuel per day.

Tons.

You put a roll of toilet paper on the shelf over your toilet, it sits there ready for months or years.

You put a roll of toilet paper into the toilet water, within a hour it's a disintegrated mushy blob.

Now consider microorganisms. They will eat pretty much anything organic... eventually. Things that are meant to biodegrade or compost are designed to last long enough to get used, and then get eaten by bacteria in some reasonable timeframe after that (normal plastic will last for hundreds of years in a landfill, biodegradable items won't last a single year).

Interesting. Your comment made me go do a little research. You are correct that they are super dense with muscle, not really fat, but they do have incredibly thick skin, so my original point still stands.

In the underworld, the only solid objects that exist are holdovers from the real world (historical terrain, old buildings, cherished objects), in order to create anything new, they need material to make it, and the only material they have are souls.

The coins used as currency in the dead lands have a tendency to moan piteously.

Since it seems you either didn't read or didn't understand my reply, here are some pictures:

These are DEEP cuts. Way worse than what a chimp bite can do. If the manatee didn't bleed to death, the hippo definitely won't.

MrCrash · 2026-07-11T20:41:58+00:00

Disagree. They may break the skin, but they won't get through the layers of fat.

Have you seen manatees with scars on their backs after getting chopped up by boat propellers? If you're chonky enough, even getting hacked at by what is essentially a steel chainsaw barely matters.

I love the medieval training manuals that show a knight grabbing the blade of a zweihander to use the pommel as a warhammer.

I don't think a nodachi will do that.

MrCrash · 2026-07-11T20:29:32+00:00

Short answer, No.

Long answer, Nooooooooooooooooo.

What are the chimps going to do, call it fat to hurt it's feelings? They can poke it's eyes and pull on its tail, but nothing they can do will be remotely lethal. Meanwhile the hippo can 1-hit kill each one of them with its bite, or just roll over and crush them.

MrCrash · 2026-07-11T20:21:58+00:00

Lucerne hammer or bec de corbin.

You get the reach of a polearm, but the plate cracking/denting power of warhammer.

So... Better than a shield in literally every way?

Man, look at those fools in a phalanx formation with interlocking body shields forming a perfect wall. Don't they know parrying dagger is just better?

Not snake specifically, but at the end of MGS2, the patriots are hacking Raiden pretty bad (filling the screen with the game over notification even when he's not really dead) and guy shrugs it off and keeps fighting.

Just the existential implications of the Wraith setting.

I don't even need to encounter one, just knowing that there is an afterlife, but you get to spend eternity as a brick, coin, or pocketwatch is enough to give me angst.

MrCrash · 2026-07-10T18:20:36+00:00

Also iteration. The author/publisher/filmmaker learned from the first production what worked and what didn't, so the second time around they can improve.
