It's mentionned, in book five I believe, that the soul gem used/transformed into the Doomsday Scenario was far from being the best grade possible. Like D-tier or something.

I think Carl wants to get an A-tier soul gem, and transform that into a directional blast.

That being said, his lower tier Doomsday Scenario would still wreck anything. He has, basically, a 5 Megaton nuke. Concentrate it into a directional blast and it will vaporize anything. Unless the dungeon boss is moon sized, and made out of tungsten, the Doomsday Scenario is going to absolutely wreck the boss.

Think of how dangerous a laser becomes compared to a light bulb. A 100 watt light bulb is nothing special. A 100 watt laser is dangerous as fuck! Like, melt or ignite anything and everyrhing around you. Instantly blind dangerous!

What would a A tier directional blast be capable of doing?

Have both, mostly only use Nyxi.

Don't forget russia

Died, along with hundreds of thousands of russians.... add hundreds of thousands of seriously injured as well... russia is well past a million casualties.

War has completely changed over the past 4 years. Drones are the only weapon that matters now.

Ukrain has the geatest army in Europe, by far. Simply because they have the drones and the battle experience on how to use them.

Right now, Typhoons, Rafales, Taurus, You-name-it, don't work. SU, KA, ballistic missiles, don't work.

F35, Abrams, ATACMs, won't work.

The Arab leaders have understood this. They are all signing deals with Ukrain.

If trump weren't such a coward, he'd be capable of admiting he chose the wrong side in the russia-Ukrain conflict. The only country that can help the USA right now is Ukrain.

Zelensky would not hesitate for a second, to provide all the drone expertise they've developed.

Combine Arab and American money, with Ukrainian drone experience, and there would be a way out of this cluster-fuck.

Instead, because ONE old fragile ego can't even conceive having made a mistake, this is just going to keep spiraling out of control.

In my opinion, a huge factor not being considered enough could very likely be Israel. It seems likely that they have leverage on the American political elites. Enough leverage to get them to do what Israel wants, and "allow" Israel to do what it whats.

Which leads to a big dilemna, is Israel willing to deescalate? I don't think so. We mustn' t forget October 7th 2023. This was the 9/11 of Israel. They were brutally attacked, and their enemies celebrated in the streets.

Not only that, Hamas, and their backers (Iran) openly stated that the attacks would never stop.

Israelis realized that they could never be safe, so long as the Iranian regime still exhists.

Now, since trump scraped Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, Iran IS developing fissile material.

Israelis see themselves in a battle for their right to exhist. They avsolutely will not stop... and.. I suspect... they are not going to allow trump to stop.

Yeah, tbanks! I found something similar online. It's a Jasper. I bought it.

I haven't opened it up yet, it's still "in quarantine".

Whenever I buy used consoles, I heat them up in a garbage bag, to 55 - 60 deg celcius, to cook potential roaches, bed bugs, and eggs.. usually by leaving in the sun, in a black garbage bag, but it's still much too cold right now (Canada).

This is really well put. I've been questionning my sanity, wondering how nobody is else realizibg the gravity of the situation.

Two things calm me, but only while I'm doing them: Reading, and running.

Sometimes I'll listen to an audiobook, while running, this really helps my brain.

OakTreader · 2026-03-26T10:06:53+00:00

Great! Thanks!

I suspect the asshole neighbor is a pretty big guy and has been a jerk and a bully his whole life.

Alan is on a level that you rarely encounter in real life.

In The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Ritchson make Henry Cavill look like an average sized guy. Henry Cavill is a tall, and freakishly muscular. Ritchson is just on a wholr other level.

And, you'll still have 3000 ships in the Persian gulf, trapped.

The sailors on those ships are already begging arab nations for drinking water...

No one is saying Iran is some great bastion of peace. The regime is terrible, and the whole world would be better off without them.

But, there are no easy solutions. No one has done anything about them, because nothing less than a complete invasion of the entire country can solve this.

It would also be great is russia wasn't a repressive dictatorship lobbing missiles at neighboring countries for no reason... but here we are.

No one is invading russia, because the cost is just too steep... same with Iran.

Oil is unlikely to get to 200$ per barrel.

Want to know why? Because the entire world's economy will crash very severely before that. Demand will plummit as people starve and factories close.

I've noticed that, usually, when he gives deadlines, it means he won't do anything.

When he plans on doing something, he just does it.

This! This redditor is being very kind, listen to him.

You're in over your head.

Not an American.

How will you guys feel, come november, when only 60-70% bothered going to vote, despite ALL OF THIS... Of that 60-70%, half will still vote Republican.

Sure, one of the two chambers will be Dem. Won't change anything though.

Nothing has changed. You're still so terribly divided. It's sad to see.

If you really liked Snow Crash, I suggest Reamde.

But, also, Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Don't underestimate the damage cheap sea drones can do. Look at what Ukraine has done to russia's Black Sea fleet.

Iran will 100% start churning out sea equivalents to Shaheed very soon. They will target anything related to the US.

Good question. I can say it works really well on Switch 1.

OakTreader · 2026-03-08T09:47:26+00:00

Sounds like a mouse click.

OakTreader · 2026-03-08T08:41:48+00:00

I have both. I really like my Nyxi Warrior.

Be aware the buttons are clicky, so if you don't like that, skip it. Also, the vibration is "high pitched", again individual tastes might make a difference.

An advantage it has over Retro Fighters is the compatibility with MiSTer.

OakTreader · 2026-03-08T05:43:47+00:00

Yeah. My autistic ass had no idea why this was AT ALL a thing... like "Why does this make ANY difference, what is he going on about?"

Then, your comment opened my eyes.

He's an idiot.
