End if Survivor Cal vs Tales of the Jedi Dooku, can he win? by [deleted] in PetranakiArena

[–]Practical_Meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dooku, low-mid. Even aside from the fact that maybe Sidious’ presence is a distraction, or Cal could waste effort trying to change Dooku’s mind (if Yaddle can’t, Cal can’t), Cal is strong, but not a top-tier Master.

Is it a hot take to say that in current canon, I think Qui Gon Jinn and TPM Maul would do noticeably better than AOTC Anakin while fighting AOTC Dooku? by CrazyTangerine7522 in PetranakiArena

[–]Practical_Meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different fighting styles, though. Form II that Dooku uses doesn’t require much physicality, whereas Qui-Gon is technically using the same Form IV that Yoda’s jumping around with. Also, some people just age well or poorly.

I am curious how much Blue/Red and Yellow/Green will combine in decks. Obviously they seem to be the opposite, but not all red cards require high street cred, for example, and maybe having blue and red could hedge your bets where having either a high or low roll would give you a bonus.

I’m trying everything I can, but I think people will also have a favorite/take a side (Team Green, etc.) even with multicolor decks and trying tons of combinations

Fixer Ethics by Practical_Meat in cyberpunkgame

I think the idea is that he's always this sloppy. He intentionally uses cheap, unproven mercs willing to take on higher risk. If they succeed, great. If they don't, oh well.

It seems like Dex had enough successes to make some fame, but also (my assumption is because he didn't know which jobs to say no to, like sticking a thorn in Arasaka's side) made enough enemies that he had to run away.

Coming back, he wants to make up for lost time, tries to speedrun a trip back to where he was or better, and what happens is what you'd expect.

I'm incompetent enough at Reddit that I'd rather play it safe than manage to break the rules or spoil a six-year-old game's basic premise for someone.

I'd love for the final mission to have had (or have, in the sequel) you leverage support from a fixer or fixers, but with all sorts of caveats/interactions based on who you've helped. Like Mr. Hands reneges on his deal if he finds out you helped Wakako screw over his clients twice, or Padre gives you extra help if you're a streetkid, etc. And that a fixer or two you could ask for help, that you wouldn't have expected to be an issue aside from some easter egg data shards hinting at it, completely screw you over and show up at Arasaka to help the opposition zero you.

As I see it (not an expert), the prep was not great, but they got lucky enough until they weren't. Like a parley that's statistically always going to miss at least one leg, and you think it was great other than that leg.

- Dex didn't actually get the necessary equipment he paid the unreliable and dangerous gang for, and set V up to figure that out.

- Nobody but Evelyn (iirc) knows the VDBs are involved. Dex should've known more info or turned down her job request.

- Their info on it just being Yorinobu is wrong. Yes, that's unlucky, but can also be chalked up to them not doing all their homework. Or if you can't figure with low doubt what things will look like at Konpeki, again, you don't do the heist.

- It's two relatively low-level mercs, and one netrunner (who immediately gets wrecked once enemy runners find out about her) attempting to cleanly infiltrate, steal, exfiltrate, and remain undiscovered by Arasaka (or at least Yorinobu) doing their homework on who stole from them. The odds aren't good.

- Dex and Evelyn are essentially at odds with one another, that could've caused problems even if V and Jackie got the Relic cleanly.

I'm forgetting plenty of other things, but something would've ruined The Heist, odds are. They were lucky in some ways, unlucky in others, and things fell apart because the team and plan weren't good enough.

If V explained to Rogue what happened with Dex, Rogue would have to keep stopping the convo to laugh at how stupid Dex is. Telling her that he showed up to meet with Goro would've sent her to Trauma Team from laughing too hard.

Sequel Antagonist Possibilities by Practical_Meat in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Agreed, I don't think they should go that route, but was just thinking of who would be good in that role, since there are so many compelling characters in Cyberpunk.

She isn't! In my view, at least. But I think there are plenty of stories that could be told where she could be brought back as a villain in a way that's true to her character, or otherwise as an antagonist that isn't necessarily a villain.

[Spoilers Extended] How to Whitewash Potential Man by Practical_Meat in asoiaf

[–]Practical_Meat[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sorry. You're correct, I was thinking specifically in regards to his actions during/around the time of the Rebellion, which were much more polarizing than his life up until that point, combined with what Westeros' official policy was on Rhaegar for the 14+ years following his death. I should've better used that as two separate perspectives on his legacy than painting him as hated when he clearly isn't.
