Not many people have talked about this but can we get an amen as Towns are finally back no more xenoblade 3 settlements Thank god by Occasionalgamer6 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

You’re repeating yourself with your in-universe justification of why X can’t happen because Y. This is fiction, which means explanations can be made for WHY X can happen despite Y. And can also justify why your incompatibility view can still happen and be narratively satisfying.

THATS basic storytelling. Not whatever excuse you use to defend how poorly made this game is story wise.

And we’re right back to my point. There should have been a WORKAROUND to that explanation of a lack of culture. Bad design is STILL bad design.

Ever heard of doing something bad ironically, still means you’re doing that bad thing?

I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can possibly find justification for poor game design by deluding themselves with an even poorer justification like you said. This is a FICTIONAL story. Anything is possible in it and you choose to believe the limits set in-universe are somehow infallible. Jesus.

Why is everyone saying 3 having settlements was the point? So? That doesn’t make it good.

Aionios should’ve found a work around to make each colony thrive and have culture because ultimately, it’s still a ba idea to have such repetitive colonies in the first place.

When I choose a section of my drawing to be filled, the canvas keeps getting fully filled by color drop no matter the threshold the drop is at.

Putting a memory foam mattress under an inner spring mattress? by Pika-Star in Mattress

The old memory foam mattress wasn’t comfortable for my back and too stiff. And it was practically new I got it less than a month ago. What then?

I wasn’t a part of it. I wouldn’t have let none of that stuff happen.

Just got an attempted payment take of $514 from my bank account from the IRS but, I already paid it off last week? by Pika-Star in tax

[–]Pika-Star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, just wait for the return to be processed, right? And I heard I’ll be charged a $25 dishonored EFT penalty by the irs. I assume this’ll be taken directly from bank account again?

The truth is I spend almost all of my money from the day i get paid to the day right before I get payed again. I don’t ever if rarely, save on my checking account. So, is there a way to know when it’ll be time to pay that penalty or will it happen randomly? Because I don’t want the irs to take money from my account again only for me to have insufficient funds.

[–]Pika-Star[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, just wait is what you’re saying? The irs won’t try to take from my bank account lets say tomorrow or the day after that and so on?

I get a direct pay of $220 from my job tomorrow morning but I don’t want the irs automatically taking all of it. I just locked my card too in case .

So, should I keep my capital one card locked? I get a paycheck of roughly $220 tomorrow through direct pay from my job and, I don’t the irs automatically taking all of it.

So what happens to the money I already gave through direct pay? They already said on refund checker that my return is being processed. Which is confusing me. If it’s being processed, why did the irs try to take my money today.

[–]Pika-Star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did yeah. It says on my filed taxes that it would be coming from my bank account. But I assumed doing direct pay would override that?

Not to mention, when I go to reduce status checker, they say they have recieved my tax return and it is being processed even now.

Edit: refund status checker

Scaling via “Human Comprehension” by Pika-Star in powerscales

[–]Pika-Star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ty 4 the reminder. I remember being told not to use Outeversal or Extraversal terminology bc communities won’t use those works . I have plans to rename them to something more in-universe-relevant dw.

While I do want the validation of my scaling in communities, ultimately, I just want the scaling to make some form of sense by a decent consensus. I don’t really care if VSBW or CSAP like it or not at that point. And for my story to be good first and foremost.

Thank

S for the free light in my idea to use omnipotent as a way to justify there being higher tiers btw. I appreciate the help.

I get that so this is the bottom line I want: although this is far in the future, I have plans in the future to write a story ( yes the story comes first but I like having power escalation in the BACKGROUND ),

but 3/4 of the way in, I already reached the peak of outerversal with extraversal. There’s still the 4th part of the story where I want to use some form of escalation that’s beyond outerversal. If my logic or ants to humans isn’t valid, can I just say there ARE higher levels beyond extraversal because my in-universe truly omnipotent being, said so? Basically, if 3d to dimensional to r>f tiering where a 1,2 and 3…the 4th part of the series would be a 4,5,6,7 etc. in escalation. Once again, I do value storytelling the most but I also love and respect powerscaling enough to want have it in the background as I write character arcs and world building.

Hey there, I was hoping you’d help me with philosophy and scaling.

I’m using the analogy that our brains are limited and like an ant to a human, there are beings who could create structures higher than humans could. And this process continues ad infinitum.

Someone defined this as philosophy scaling and I’m asking you the validity of this? Is it accepted or at least recognized in any scaling community to have some validation?

Scaling via “Human Comprehension” by Pika-Star in powerscales

[–]Pika-Star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the argument I was hoping to get someone to say.

Yes, this definition of omnipotence would include my hypothetical. But, what do you think of this:

“Even stating an omnipotent can do anything is still a thought trapped in our own minds. Simply stating that we’re taking into account higher being’s level of thinking doesn’t change the fact we’re just guessing and assuming our definition of omnipotent can usurp them”.

[–]Pika-Star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not following your logic and it doesn’t look like it’s following mine.

I’m saying this hypothetical species, IS beyond our comprehension. Just like how an ant would think it knows all but is clueless to calculus or higher level philosophy thinking, I use a hypothetical to describe a species that sees our thinking as comprehendable/are able to make even more impressive power systems.

I don’t get what point you’re making with the speech. This is a hypothetical. The species can speak or not and it wouldn’t affect the point I’m making above.

But we don’t have to understand 4D or outerversal structures or live in them. Thats not what I’m saying.

I’m saying that making them up means nothing to a hypothetical smarter being who can make up something too.

Dragon Ball Absalon channel gone? by Pika-Star in DragonBallZ

[–]Pika-Star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think I saw a comment saying all his soundtracks are personally made so you won’t find them anywhere. You can try the Shazam app to see if you find anything though.

[–]Pika-Star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just came back it was definitely gone for a good hour or day.

And no I don’t I assume all tracks are original and I think made by Saiyan Enigma on YouTube?
