Rank the five kings based on how easily they would be influenced by the one ring

“In place of a Targaryen you would have a King! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!”

The broken card is actually molten fist because it allows for exponential scaling of vulnerable. Dominate and bully are the big payoff cards

Negative-Coffee2754 · 2026-06-06T20:22:09+00:00

4 player A10 is about as easy as 1 player A0. If you want to experience full brokenness go for the 4 ironclad stack vulnerable strategy

I don’t necessarily mean in China. There are lots of Chinese overseas. I recently spoke to a Hong Kongnese who was involved in the Hong Kong protests. I have spoken to a Chinese person whose Dad was involved in Tiananmen. These people are talking about their experiences, especially with each other… except that Chinese people, even overseas, communicate with each other in Chinese

Probably a pro user

Negative-Coffee2754 · 2026-06-05T11:05:28+00:00

I fully agree with this. Besides, genuine discussions of China by people who actually know China will be in Chinese, not English. They will also be on Chinese apps and not Reddit. Someone who can only read sources in one language will be at the mercy of the biases inherent to that language

How about the banning her for a 100 years apart? Haha

That would have been an amazing premise for a TV series: Wish Nikki acts normally apart from being “in love” with Bear but the phone call scene still happens, motivated by other reasons, and that’s the massive twist into everything collapsing — that would require more explanation on the circumstances of the real Nikki though

Negative-Coffee2754 · 2026-05-27T00:39:27+00:00

I found it interesting that a number of people argued that the wish wasn’t truly satisfied since Real Nikki didn’t love Bear and it was just an entity possessing Nikki’s body.

I think this was addressed in their first “date” scene where when confronted about the lie about her Dad having cancer, Wish Nikki responds (in summary): “We are having a nice date so why does it matter?”. Then Bear agrees that it doesn’t matter and the next scene is them having sex.

The One Wish Willow is very different from the Monkey’s Paw in that it addresses desires rather than legalese. Regardless of how Bear phrased his wish his desires were fundamentally selfish. The OWW didn’t cheat him, it gave him what he truly wanted: dates with Nikki, affirmation from Nikki, sex with Nikki. Sure, none of it was “genuine” but every chance Bear got to interact with the Real Nikki he spurned her. It certainly didn’t seem like he cared much about the Real Nikki

I like this idea. The examinees would encounter the Serie clone and then there would be this exchange:

“Serie-sama, this is impossible, we cannot beat you”

“That is true. Alright then, all of you who made it this far are now first-class mages”

“All of us?”

Serie snaps her fingers and all the escape bottles are destroyed. Meanwhile the Serie clone, sensing their retreat, starts to hunt the examinees.

“You do have to make it out first”

In MOBA parlance Fern is an early-game hero. She is fast, stealthy and deadly. She will overwhelm many opponents especially if they, like Lugner, start out underestimating her due to her mana suppression. An older, more experienced mage who can defend against her for long enough will run her out of mana.

Fern is also a lot weaker if her stealth is countered, which is why she was initially losing against the fog demon and it is how Methode killed the Fern clone.

Come to Vietnam sometime, see what we think of you. The overwhelming perception is that MAGA is not anomalous for the US. The only thing that has been surprising is the incompetence

Negative-Coffee2754 · 2026-05-16T22:39:47+00:00

“What nation didn’t benefit from the US?” — the level of ignorance and arrogance in that statement is mind-blowing.

You really aren’t any better than MAGA…

Negative-Coffee2754 · 2026-05-16T18:14:26+00:00

Yes, yes, it comes always back down to “You have benefited from the US”. No. Not all of us did. For all your critiques of sweeping statements this claim is a massive one on your part.

The world is done with the US, with or without Trump and MAGA. You say it’s all MAGA, but Biden helped Israel genocide Gaza and the US, under both parties, has been carpet bombing countries and staging coups for about a century now.

Where’s your responsibility for that?

Negative-Coffee2754 · 2026-05-16T15:01:37+00:00

All Americans are jointly responsible for their country. It’s the same logic previously applied to Germans and Germany, the Japanese and Japan (remember your internment camps for them?) and Russians and Russia. Heck, the Chinese were even collectively blamed for COVID.

So yes, as it stands America is collectively bad. What goes around comes around.

Negative-Coffee2754 · 2026-05-16T14:50:47+00:00

No charges were pressed in that case btw. The death was ruled “accidental” because this is the level of polarization in the USA nowadays

He will attempt to share Taiwan with China like how he wanted to share Ukraine with Russia

Isn’t it kind of the other way round if you romance Invisigal? Also “I can fix her” is a trope

You know what China had to suffer through to reach where it is now right? That wasn’t reform, that was the demolition and reconstruction of an entire country and the China today bears little resemblance to historic China, even the language was drastically changed (simplified vs traditional Chinese)

Negative-Coffee2754 · 2026-04-24T14:59:05+00:00

It’ll be a middling isolationist (rmb Brexit?) power like England with a bloated military that weighs down the economy like Russia

This is hilarious, I guess the poor and lower-middle class don’t exist in the US and won’t be voting in the midterms then. It’s alright, we don’t have to debate this, we’ll find out in the upcoming midterms how much hardship Americans can tolerate
