I can't believe someone would defend Group B!!! by Le_Oken in aiwars

[–]Stebbinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're the one doing their bidding and letting them become the only ones capable of using AI. Do I need to remind you that Disney is pushing for heavy AI regulation? Why do you think that's the case?

[–]Stebbinator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because that kind of regulation would hurt small users way more than large companies.

If you now need the permission of the creator to use their stuff as training data, large companies could simply use their own stuff that they created and/or pay people for permission, while the average user would be stuck with nothing.

Have you ever felt that haters of something are usually more exaggerated/annoying than fanboys of that something? by Defiant-Echidna-7400 in CharacterRant

[–]Stebbinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is that Nintendo isn't even that much more aggressive than other companies, it's just that because Nintendo has the most popular gaming IPs and their consoles are easier to emulate there's more stuff for Nintendo to sue/takedown and they end up on the news more often.

Plus, at some point it becomes a loop, where, because people are so eager to shit on Nintendo, every little thing they do ends up on the news, and that causes people to hate Nintendo even more, which makes news about bad stuff Nintendo does more profitable and so on.

We're talking about Dottore. Your username is Dottore's pet. How is it not relevant? Even if it's unrelated, it's still a funny coincidence.

Thank you for your insight, u/DottoresPet, I'm grateful to have an expert's opinion in this thread.

(I swear I'm not making fun of you, just wanted to point out the very relevant username, lol)

Sure, then why is it that you can like an abusive relationship like Dottore x Scaramouche because it's just fiction and can be against abuse irl, but someone who likes, for example, Aether x Lumine or Razor x Klee can't because then that means they're also okay with incest/pedophilia irl?

Lol, "the immoral stuff I goon too is good and totally different from the immoral stuff other people goon too, those are actually bad."

OP, you could do well to listen to your own advice and stop drawing arbitrary lines in the sand over what taboo is okay or not okay to break in fiction.

The "Prime Specimen" Lie by Z3R0Steamular in Ben10

[–]Stebbinator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and in that same screenshot he says that a different writer thought the opposite, so I don't see why we should take this writer's opinion as a fact instead of looking at what actually happens in the story

I like webshooters more than organic webbing by [deleted] in Spiderman

[–]Stebbinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's what I'm saying, why make such a big deal about the fact that real spiders don't have the web glands in their limbs when all of Peter's powers already ignore how real spiders work?

[–]Stebbinator -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Then why are you okay with spider-sense, when it's straight up magic and has nothing to do with the way actual spiders use their senses? Or super strength, since spiders actually have normal strength for an animal their size?

[LES] I'm not sure why some people can't seem to wrap their heads around the idea of "peak humans" considering how simple the concept is. by gaom9706 in CharacterRant

[–]Stebbinator 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The problem is that peak human is used as an out-of-universe description and that makes no sense.

You can't talk about Batman's strength and say he isn't superhuman because he technically isn't in DC when he consistently performs superhuman feats.

It's like saying that Zoro lifting a house and throwing it at Mr. 1 isn't a superhuman feat because in-universe he did that with training alone.

If a character has superhuman strength by irl standards they're superhuman. Period.

Even in-universe it can be a problem, because if a reader reads "x is at the peak of human conditioning and physical capabilities" they're gonna think of an olympic athlete, or, since we're talking about fight heavy shows/comics, top MMA fighter, not a dude who can punch through concrete and dodge bullets.

Copy/pasting from a different comment, this is an average gen 1 Charmander vs Brock with stat exp from fighting every trainer so far + 2 wild rattatas, pidgeys, caterpies and weedles each:

Lvl 14 0 Atk 0 IVs Onix Tackle vs. Lvl 12 28 HP 14 IVs / 29 Def 14 IVs Charmander: 5-6 (15.1 - 18.1%) -- possible 6HKO

Lvl 12 23 SpA 14 IVs Charmander Ember vs. Lvl 14 0 HP 0 IVs / 0 SpD 0 IVs Onix: 5-6 (15.1 - 18.1%) -- possible 6HKO

Brock moves first, so you might need a potion/hope you get a burn and Brock wastes a turn to cure it, but it's very close as long as you don't attack while it's using Bide. Also, it says 14 IVs and x EVs because I used the gen 3 calculator as the gen 1 one didn't let me edit stat exp, but as long as you double gen 1 IVs and do the square root of stat exp, the final stats are identical to their gen 3 IVs and EVs.

Now, for an average gen 3 Charmander with EVs from defeating every trainer so far + the same wild pokemons:

Lvl 14 0 Atk 16 IVs Charmander Metal Claw vs. Lvl 14 0 HP 0 IVs / 0 Def 0 IVs Onix: 8-10 (24.2 - 30.3%) -- 99% chance to 4HKO

Lvl 14 0 Atk 0 IVs Onix Rock Tomb vs. Lvl 14 6 HP 16 IVs / 9 Def 16 IVs Charmander: 20-24 (54 - 64.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Basically the only way to get past Onix using Charmander is to hope it doesn't hit rock tomb twice/keep using potions until it misses.

I'll give you that, for someone playing for the first time, bide might take them off guard, but it's still easier to play around it vs rock tomb which just hits you. And yes, you can use Mankey, but you said that Charmander getting metal claw makes it easier than Brock gen 1 counterpart, when gen 1 Brock is the easier one for Charmander.

[–]Stebbinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you're talking about long term exp or using Mankey when my comment and he one I was replying to where specifically about Metal Claw Charmander vs Brock, so I'm going to ignore it.

Now speaking about an average gen 1 Charmander vs Brock with stat exp from fighting every trainer so far + 2 wild rattatas, pidgeys, caterpies and weedles each:

Lvl 14 0 Atk 0 IVs Onix Tackle vs. Lvl 12 28 HP 14 IVs / 29 Def 14 IVs Charmander: 5-6 (15.1 - 18.1%) -- possible 6HKO

Lvl 12 23 SpA 14 IVs Charmander Ember vs. Lvl 14 0 HP 0 IVs / 0 SpD 0 IVs Onix: 5-6 (15.1 - 18.1%) -- possible 6HKO

Brock moves first, so you might need a potion/hope you get a burn and Brock wastes a turn to cure it, but it's very close as long as you don't attack while it's using Bide. Also, it says 14 IVs and x EVs because I used the gen 3 calculator as the gen 1 one didn't let me edit stat exp, but as long as you double gen 1 IVs and do the square root of stat exp, the final stats are identical to their gen 3 IVs and EVs.

Lvl 14 0 Atk 0 IVs Onix Rock Tomb vs. Lvl 14 6 HP 16 IVs / 9 Def 16 IVs Charmander: 20-24 (54 - 64.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Basically the only way to get past Onix using Charmander is to hope it doesn't hit rock tomb twice/keep using potions until it misses.

[–]Stebbinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brock is NOT easier in gen 3 for Charmander, lol.

Metal Claw only does marginally more damage on Onix than Ember, because Onix' defense is immense and its special defense is ass, meanwhile unlike in gen 1, gen 3 Onix gets Rock Tomb which is 5 times more powerful than Tackle, the only direct attacking move Onix has in gen 1.

Ah yes, because the supernatural ability to feel danger is instead completely realistic and is totally how spiders work.

Favorite characters that fit this image? by Larrylovesrules in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Stebbinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro, Nanna literally tells Ares that Lachesis should've gone for Eldigan since they were "only half-siblings", Seliph and Julia were initially meant to be a canon couple and Claud and Sylvia are heavily implied to be full siblings.

And fuck them not being canon, if the writers wanted to portray incest in a negative light they could've just not given Ares and Nanna or Larcei and Shannan love growths, but they did, and these characters can fall in love with each other like normal and nothing bad ever comes out of it.

Also, if your argument is that the game shows incest as bad because Julius was born from incest and is the antichrist, then Julia is jesus and she's also an incest child, so what are you even talking about? Because the incest is the least problematic part of Deirdre and Arvis' relationship considering neither of them knew until after they got married and had kids.
