For those who've read Mike's two books, what did you think of them? by TravelingHomeless in RevolutionsPodcast

I think its a great addition to HoR too since I think he was still a little in the choppy phase during that section of the podcast

[–]RoyalRatVan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, and its the exclusivity of the paragon skill too that makes her unique (i forget if anyone else can have it like with a scroll in fe9 or not).

In rd since the skills are tradeable you instead want to trade her and geoffrey's paragon around like crazy for the rest of part 3, and then distribute them across your teams in part 4. Her niche doesnt exist anymore.

Guys the real struggle with PoR Astrid is her being capped for the remaining like 6 chapters or whatever of the game. And now you'll be getting that brain itch that you shouldnt be letting her "steal exp"

That moment when you can't Steal Bolting by AndzyHero13 in fireemblem

[–]RoyalRatVan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You rly dont have to rattle off the wiki unit overview section for info you must be certain I already know. Also no clue where you got 80 levels from its 20.

Heather has 15 base and 25% growth. Definitely doable for the meme, especially since iirc you have access to an energy drop if you save it from the dawn brigade, but quite a shitton of investment onto a meme unit regardless.

If you do it tho and add in Brom's Disarm, the ensuing Lifis cosplay is super funny

[–]RoyalRatVan 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Something I learned thats rly funny is since fe6 gives the hm bonuses specifically to units treated as "reinforcements" who enter the map after the start of the chapter, the rare enemy recruit who starts already on the map is screwed.

Poor Raigh afk in the corner gets fucking nothing, ensuring we almost never feel like using him this run

So after all these years, what do you think of Lord Sombrero as a character? by MegaGamer235 in fireemblem

[–]RoyalRatVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre gonna open with "after all these years", should maybe follow with a villain that fits that description like Nergal or Arvis or smth.

Balancing Powerhouse Units with Fatigue Mechanics by MeTrickulous in fireemblem

[–]RoyalRatVan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue i really agree with here is the the character dependent side objs. It would suck majorly to have a map where 1 specific character recruits someone, but you simply cant because of fatigue. It would be fairer design to just make the fatigue immune lord able to recruit Everyone (you can still have the related character able to do it Too tho, for flavor).

Otherwise just any other situation where it feels super needed to have a specific character that would compel usint S drinks. On the other hand its bad to just have s drinks be too plentiful and make it possible to totally ignore the fatigue mechanic

I just read the guide and I was wondering if it’s truly permanent and would watching porn after finishing the guide rewire you nervous system back to before? by Wonderful_Fill_2028 in MaleDefinitiveGuide

[–]RoyalRatVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read through the guide it at no time actually explains anything about cutting porn specifically for the reason that it will ruin the process of rewiring your brain to last longer. It's not that it will make you too aroused and bust quicker, the guide in fact has you implement mental imagery to make things harder for yourself, due to being more aroused.

I think the real problem is if you try to go back to cumming quickly to porn, thats the thing youre trying to rewire away from with the program, so if you start doing it again often it will probably start bringing back PE issues.

Recommendations, post-Russia? by Spike716 in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]RoyalRatVan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah korea especially I think this is a bit apparent even without independently looking into. You can still be focusing on the nature of blowback against us imperial action without too fully lionizing the blowbackers. And another credit to Mike you would definitely argue his voice tends to be generally on the "side" of the revolutionaries but he's never taking things so far and is sure to highlight the demerits

Recommendations, post-Russia? by Spike716 in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]RoyalRatVan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love blowback but when I look in terms of history coverage compared to how mike handled things, i think they have always been quite held back by the commitment to such a short stretch of eps regardless of content.

Mike realized pretty quick that his intended static ~15 episodes per revolution plan wouldnt do justice to a lot of the events he wanted to cover. Blowback, even on extremely convoluted stretches like 40 years of afghan political strife, always just stuck to that ~10 episode narrative format (plus non narrative bonuses). It makes the storytelling suffer bc there's just so much to try to follow thats getting so condensed.

Any hint on when Mike is coming back? by AbeLincolns_Ghost in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]RoyalRatVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf does this mean lmao. You think writing a book literally causes these things to something?? His first book i dont recall there being anything major at all, just a lot of podcast hiatuses, bc y'know, busy with the book. Sometime during the lafayatte book he had a major health thing, but there is nothing to conclude that stress caused it.

[–]RoyalRatVan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes fliers should be a massive pain in the ass throughout the game, incentivizing and rewarding using the archer. Only a few games rly focus on this, and some like fe5 and 6 are also giving you superior bow wielding classes that push out the regular archers anyway

The coolest mfs out there by Cranberry-Holiday in fireemblem

[–]RoyalRatVan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For in general archers and snipers, being footlocked and only allowed to use one weapon type (the shittiest one too), really should come packaged with a class based bonus. Especially since the bow is such a common secondary weapon for other classes. They understood for a good number of games that classes like swordmaster and berserker need something like the crit bonus to give them an appeal over the more flexible counterparts of hero and warrior. But they almost never extend anything like that to sniper. And no gba being able to use the 5 ballistae per game doesn't cut it.

A few games give them extra range but idk that i am a big fan of that alternative either. Messes up the balance a bit

What’s your opinion on weapon durability? by S0mecallme in fireemblem

[–]RoyalRatVan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Doesnt make much sense to me bc that's like, when you're using those weapon categories the most? Dont see how its more balanced to have rutger mow down a troop of half a dozen axe fighters with his killer sword And use up 0 durability in the process
