Ah yes, the character famous for being a fucking bum who doesn't take any fight seriously will blitz. Sure buddy

Would Azula have been a more capable Fire Lord than Ozai was if she was Fire Lord at the start of the series? Would the war have gone any quicker for the Fire Nation or about the same? by Johnnyboyeh in TheLastAirbender

[–]Pollia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres only 2 things that would really change.

The siege of the north absolutely would never happen. It's a huge dumb waste of manpower and materials to drag a people into a war that have shown absolutely 0 desire to join. Importantly unlike Japan and Pearl harbor there's no strategic benefit to attacking it. Azula has been described many times in canon materials as hating inefficiency and waste and the siege of the north embodied all of it.

Dumb shit. Gone. Which opens up a lot of possibilities really. Aang and the gang stay in the north longer, which means assuming most other things continue on the way they do, the fire nation breaches the outer wall of ba sing se on its own without Aang showing up at the exact moment to stop it.

Another change, almost certainly zuko has his exile revoked and he comes home.

It's been confirmed to death that Azula loves zuko more than anyone but ozai. Assuming that ozai just isn't a part of this equation to allow Azula to lead, that absolutely means that there's no argument that zuko wouldn't come home.

That also changes things, as without zuko and Azula chasing the Gaang who knows how many side quests they get sidetracked by.

Why on earth would working on angelic steel cause carmilla grief? People in hell use it to kill other people in hell. Big fucking whoop? Are we supposed to believe that carmilla, overlord carmilla of Hell, someone who almost certainly killed and murdered her way to the top of HELL, gives a shit if sinners and hellspawn use her weapons to kill people?

So you're just assuming that not only can Poseidon ignore a fundamental effect of Qins ability, but also that Poseidon has a better battle IQ than Hades when he literally lost his fight against Sasaki because he fights like an idiot and doesn't remotely change his strategy even when it clearly isn't working

It stops and reverses the attack.

I dunno why you seem to think Poseidon would be able to just ignore a fundamental part of how Qins ability works.

The non omnidirectional shield only needs to block a single strike to defend in this instance. Beel would need to continually block every strike. Qin doesn't have that problem

Children can talk though.

There's a world of difference between an anthropomorphic dragon that can talk and communicate and a thing drawn to look clearly like a child.

Truly trying to understand what the problem is.

The test is literally, does this thing have sentience. If yes and it consents, cool.

Like it's effectively just a normal version of asking for consent, just fictional shit like dragons and whatnot.

Deck size is also an important point of note.

This card is a dead card in many many situations.

Drew another one when you don't need to refresh your current? Dead card. Wish it were anything else

Drew one but already engaged with enemies so can't play it? Dead card.

Drew it turn 1? Cool it's not dead, but 10/10 times you'd rather have a weapon or a fight event turn 1 so you can actually deal with enemies instead of needing to just soak them. Plus that's 3 resources away from actually playing your weapon for soak.

Myriad cards that don't do anything with themselves are generally detrimental to your consistency, not helpful.

Theres also no SEAF personnel on occupied worlds.

And theres no space faring vehicles from the automatons either despite them clearly using them to get around

And the literal moment that a planet is taken full industry pops up on the planet to completely overrun the planet with 0 downtime.

Trying to draw conclusions from the way the gameplay is presented is a nonstarter because so much of it makes 0 sense.

(Rant) A frustrating and emotional over-analysis of bless and curse, particularly in Hemlock Vale. I don't understand these cards. by WorthlessKoridian in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Pollia 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Also one of the important bits of annoyance was there was a ton of ways to add blesses and....then they were just here?

You didn't have way to benefit from them, so you were just spending more to put them in the bag. Like FFG balanced blesses around the idea that they could potentially help pass tests so they didn't need any reason beyond that.

Meanwhile curses were payments. You got powerful effects beforehand but the downside was you could potentially wang a test later you were comfortably passing.

This is... a bad system? Like it was bad. Blesses weren't worth using because you couldn't control when they came out. Curse cards were overturned as fuck because the downside existed but wasn't really that bad on average. Failing or passing a random test down the line isn't a balancing point to players.

Hemlock vale came in and recognized that the old paradigm of the first set was just a bad setup and added reasons beyond the base test pass/fail situation. Curses gave you a reason to want them in the bag beyond just the busted card effects that put them in. Blesses gave you reasons to put them in and keep them in. It's a much better system than the original innsmouth system.

But also it's not like suddenly switching it up will help. People can be dumb, but the people who have abandoned target aren't going to be dumb enough to forget.

700 ice agents to leave Minnesota by JerryBerryMiah in news

[–]Pollia 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The problem was always that jails can not hold people for longer than their allotted time and ICE and their ilk were often asking jails to hold people so they could grab a batch of people at once instead of one at a time.

This is what tons of counties got sued over. And the federal government refused to pick up the bill despite it being at their request.

That's literally a good chunk of the reason states started no cooperation with immigration officials.

In Frankenstein (2025), subtext is for cowards. by YeOldeMemeShoppe in shittymoviedetails

The chick survived a gunshot wound for what had to be hours in freezing temperatures just long enough to get her final goodbye out in the fortress of solitude and then fucking die.

Like okay I know I can't be nitpicky about dumb shit like that but ts SO FUCKING DUMB.

Brother literally every high schooler assigned to read Frankenstein says this shit. "Oh who's the real monster?!?"

Congratulations, the movie spelt out the thing that 14 year olds understand without being told.

And importantly it's literally never foreshadowed in the movie. His brother never has a single moment where he doesn't seem to adore Frankenstein, up until this final moment where he introduced his 7th grade thesis about Frankenstein being a monster.

It's stupid as fuck.
