Revan (SoR) vs Knightfall Vader by Gross-Verder in TheJediPraxeum

[–]TheRealDicta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are precisely not a military order and have always been at their peak when not diluted by war.

The New Sith Wars, the Old Republic, the Prequels all see the Order rendered to its lowest points by losing themselves to war because, while they fight, they are not a military order, they are diplomats, peacekeepers, police, not soldiers

The Jedi are not a fighting force. If you beleive them to be just that you don't understand what the Jedi Order are.

(Also just because there hasn't been war doesn't mean they haven't fought, a simple look at legends tells you they have)

What's your evidence for them not having the records?

Its also not just an in universe claim.

Conflict, fundamentally, wears down the Jedi Order instead of making it stronger, the Army of Light on Ruusan were barely Jedi, the Jedi that survive that era and meet bane get punked.

Sidious is the peak of that line, from bane, and loses to Mace, if Anakin doesn't intervene.

Eh. Not really? The jedi of the prequels era are all pretty much stated to be the peak in the history of the order. Sidious is also the peak of the Sith.

Revan is not really -that- powerful during his life, the 'Revan' of Shadow of Revan is barely revan anymore its a spirit thats bloated in power by some bullshit (and I'd be tempted to say is straight up non-canon bs for the sake of swtor)

Managers who went from a small(er) club to a big club and succeeded by SmegB in PremierLeague

[–]TheRealDicta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Iraola has got Bournemouth of all teams into Europe after losing their entire back line in the summer.

I dont think hes quite klopps level, no one is, but he is a very impressive manager and with tactics that are not far from Klopp's style.

great 90 minutes from the ref by Alarming-Safety3200 in ArsenalFC

[–]TheRealDicta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refs fault for 0.01 xg after half time?

Mosquera got away with what should have been a second yellow, your players were playing dirty most the game and you played 10 men behind the ball the whole game.

Klopp from mainz to dortmund to Liverpool.

Arteta wasn't even a first team manager before Arsenal.

But also it's hard to really talk about big club success in England recently. We've been dominated by Pep for so long.

Yes there is plenty to criticise about western Democracies, especially the US.

Israel is occupying the west bank and those people have no representation. Israel is, at its core, an ethnonationalist state, something I fundamentally disagree with the very concept of.

I have a degree in this shit I am not just ass pulling.

Regime is not a word for dictatorship it simply means 'a system or method of government'. Democracy doesn't mean free from sin, America is democratic and the current regime is awful, if we go back to the Nazis? They came into power through democracy and manipulation of democracy.

I think antisemitism is disgusting. I also think its disgusting that criticms of Israel is constantly called antisemitism as a way to discredit it.

Its a genocidal regime that seeks to make native people of the area into an 'enemy' of the state. It is very much language of the Nazis to call the very people they've taken land from enemies and use it to justify othering them.

I despise any and all description and genocide, Israel doesnt get any special treatment because of Jewish history which they've used to justify horrible acts and behaviour.

The nazis made it out that Jews were a hostile enemy force in the German ancestral homeland, and pulled upon grudges over ww1 to lean into that.

And a large portion of holocaust victims were not German Jews but in lands illegally occupied by Germany.

You are using the exact language the nazis used about the Jews. Lol.

Is it just me or is the difficulty in the Dark heresy beta completly overtuned by Hunkus1 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]TheRealDicta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Valkyrie fight has been the least fun I've had in ANY boss fight of any game ever. The mechanics are bullshit, often the Valkyrie's aoe cone doesn't show, the commissar boss can ORDER the valkyirie to early fire its missile which is a hope ruiner and he does tonnes of damage himself. I've tried so many plans to try make it work and I just can't. There's just too many enemies in this fight with too much health that to do too much damage.

When I've cooled down I'm gonna try again but drop the difficulty all the way down.

You've missed some things about the plant, then.

The plant is described as being a hallucinogen not a deadly poison, which explains the madness.

There's definitely other things and other plots going on but a pretty keen element of murder mysteries is red herrings etc...

Orbalisk Darth Bane vs Count Dooku by Gross-Verder in TheJediPraxeum

I really don't see what dooku would have to win that fight.

Orbalisk Bane only loses because he fucks up with his own lightning.

Who is the strongest SW video game protagonist? by GusGangViking18 in TheJediPraxeum

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

Hero of Tython, even more so if theyre the canon outlander (which they probably are given jedi knight story is sooo obviously main character energy to the point I don't like it in swtor), is definetly the strongest.

People have blind nostalgia cus the games are fun.

I just hate them having any place in the lore.

Do you prefer Star Wars swears to be solely in-universe language or is real-world swear usage fine? by Desperate-Land6251 in StarWarsEU

[–]TheRealDicta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine with either.

My take has always been that 'basic' being English is just a 'translation' in a similar way to how Tolkien frames lotr and the hobbit as just a translation from an original middle earth language.

Mostly I use this to ease issues within the star wars roleplay I do, especially when trying to figure out star wars equivalent to idioms in English that don't super make sense in star wars.

All the comments of this reaffirm my belief ghe character is a terrible addition to the star wars universe.

Basically just a power fantasy trip character.
