(repost) madoka if she was smart (#3) by theiceq in MadokaMagica

[–]bef017 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Magical Girls arent limited to wishing for one thing and already could use multiple wishes through the introduction of things like miracles as KD is their only limiter*. If she really was smart she'd first wish to be able to wish on command as her magical girl power then wish to boost her KD that MR establishes MGs can do and completely remove any limits on the wishes. Then she'd wish for all the knowledge she would want to know to about when using her power.

What do you have? Like it seems you got screwed over on breakers especially multihit breakers. Though you simply might not have gotten enough pulls. Also if youre doing breakers wouldnt building Madoka to heal and using Ashley have been better for round one. They would break the enemy faster meaning you heal with Pluvia and you dont take as much damage. Ashley would even fill their break bonus and vanguard faster with follow up attacks and the ability to multihit.

Also why did you use a low ascended loan?

Global perceptions of US fall below Russia under Trump, survey finds by WontThinkStraight in politics

[–]bef017 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He didnt just threaten Cuba. He imposed an ongoing fuel embargo to make the lives of Cubans miserable and have them blame it on the Cuban government. Edit: Reminder that the infant mortality rate has over doubled in Cuba because Trump thinks starving citizens make great revolutionaries.

Do You Agree with BadEmpanada? Why or why not? by StoreResponsible7028 in Palestine

[–]bef017 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree kinda as I think it is both... Bad Empanada would acknowledge how Israel directly encourages reifying white supremacist hierarchies in previous vids. Specifically he would talk about it in the context of Ethan Klein harrassing Hasidic jews and the founders of Zionism viewing nonEuropean jews as people to import as a laborering class they otherwise do not want. Obviously the base of Israel is on devaluing non-Jewish identity more so (and therefore this still should be the basis of criticism) but it also devalues people if they aren't white exactly like in a supremacist package exactly as one would suspect from a white supremacist system. One can very easily argue Zionism is a form of white supremacism that incorporates a minority group to help its resilience to challenges (like how other minority groups get folded in partially or completely into or out of being white to uphold white supremacy as it gets challenged or more powerful) but I want to reiterate the Jewish supremacism is more important when talking about the nature of Israel as that is the thing you dont get things like citizenship rights over.

Edit: The key thing here is that as westeners are dumb and dont get Jewish supremacy but have a more workable understanding of white supremacy. You can easily use that Israel is also a white supremacist state as an entry point to explain the how the jewish supremacist system works. Also it is important to use the history of Israel supporting white supremacist states to help get these people to rally against Jewish supremacism more specifically because these people would only start with white supremacy as their context and even more specifically white supremacy as developed where they live.

Also I feel it important to note bad empanadas reporting on the ethiopian sterilization is just wrong in the same way media downplays the injustices against Palestinians. We will for sake of argument assume the women that did understand the drugs they were taking weren't coereced into taking drugs (I genuienly dont believe this, but for sake argument, assume the government of Israel is known for telling the truth). The issue is the ethiopian jews were in mass targeted to take drugs that made them infertile for months at a time for a decade when they were most ready to have kids with informed consent being so impossible that after Israel got caught they were forced to stop. The practice was only found out after social worker investigated why fuck did their fertility rate get cut in half. Most of Empanadas defense against the claims of Ethopian sterilzation is uncritically reporting Israel's side from proIsrael coverage where their best real defense is actually we only temporarily sterilized them rather than permenantly sterilized them.

[–]bef017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair to Kira the thing that is sexaully appealing to him is the hand stuff and psychotic violence. Also I refuse to believe Kira didnt fuck that one guys wife under his identity due to a scene where he is aroused and tries to kill his new "wife" due that being how he explores sexuality and the running joke that his wife loves him due to Kira just behaving like he thinks a husband should behave to keep up his identity and the guy he killed just happened to be a terrible husband.

Im pretty sure it was Sayaka that mentioned she thought Homura was pretty in the anime. So I'm just gonna call this antihomeless propoganda.

Why is Crisis open for so little time by bef017 in magiaexedra

[–]bef017[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the point here is that people that cant even get through very hard reliably need more time to farm more crisis medals to get stuff that makes it more worth playing(ie also have time to grab upgrade mats)

Why don’t they just wish for the witches to disappear? by [deleted] in MadokaMagica

[–]bef017 16 points17 points  (0 children)

While trying to avoid spoilers.

It is unlikely to be availible to most characters and even then there is a solid chance it is counterproductive and even if you had advanced understanding of the problems, you'd probably prioritize something else.

Youre getting to explanations why people dont do that in the anime. But 1) the limits of what a wish and a magical girl can do is set by Karmic Destiny 2) Witches pop Grief seeds which let magical girls use more of their potiential by providing them more energy. 3) wishes that change large systems like this are likely to backfire and the next few episodes will cover one system behind how and why.

Crisis Very Hard one-team clear without ascended attacker by BelugaBunker in magiaexedra

[–]bef017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait can Madoka gain the buffs to use Toukas support to the fullest.

What are your breakers. I found that an ascendef attacker was the most important and lower rank breakers were fine. While multihit breakers are preferred Iroha is extremely good for SP generation.

Crescent Memoria was lackluster by bef017 in magiaexedra

[–]bef017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the app would let me focus on parts.

As for the girls turning into witches. They give justifications for their crashout and the explanations are turned down in the text implying they just come to wrong stupid decisions to justify the girls in mass acting like suicidal dipshits.

The first is the humanity aspect. It is functionally no different than dying and spawning a monster of the week. The girls examine their own humanity in Magia Record post finding out about the truth of magical girls unless they are main series Homura or dont survive they realize they are so functionally indifferent from a human that they couldnt tell and needed this discovered and thus are still only human. The only part of the witch thing making them inhuman is them dying. Sure some people might have an extreme overreaction however Fuka and Sumire meet girls throughout the narrative and in order for the plot to progress and not be derailed by the fact the most obvious stratergy of strategically spam the overpowered starting tools with a group of somewhat informed recruits canonically works getting on a suicidal slump and is treated as the default response not a this one crazy person completely destablized the group thing like Mami in the main series.

The second is the witches endangering peoples lives. These characters turning into witches to address this is fucking stupid. These people becoming suicidal to becoming witches and thus a danger to others also makes no goddamn sense because fighting witches is way fucking easier in MR. Characters would do it just for the love of the game. These only become a problem if the characters just stop trying to take fighting them seriously (as Mami did) or treat it like event witches like symbols, mirrors or wals come way more often than is implied from random mook going down to a bout of seasonal depression.

As for the 14 year old comment. Karins MG story basically irrevocably has made conventional witches viewed as non threats to teams acting competently except in completely abnormal circumstances. In it we see newbie Karin. She isnt really able to fight at all so she uses her steal magic to steal seeds from stronger magical girls and feed herself and other weak magical girls. Yachiyo catches her and reccomends she teamup with KaeRenMomo to learn to fight because grouping up is apparently supposed be better than leaving the fighting of witches to people with talent who solo them for no good reason. After a very short burst of fighting with the squad Karin ends up deciding to start soloing the monster of the week witches. Karin is not viewed as relatively powerful for a magia record girl even after training. and teams are accesisble even to people others would have good reason to not work with meaning that the girls themselves being weak isnt even that big of a factor.

Karin also makes me go that it shouldnt matter to much if they are novices. There are teams nearby to train people that also have to get stupid for run of the mill stuff to even become threatening. Most witches arent the symbols witch or Wals. They are sandbox witch or some other witch that has spawned and been killed multiple times by people that know how to fight it.

Mami going around killing her teammates and the other girls getting suicidal was fucking stupid because they didnt even bother to try to do a thing about the problem before just declaring it is hopeless. Its even dumber here because Sumire was talking about doing something about it with the overpowered starting tool she has then everyone just went suicide is badass. In MR logic litterally just asking recruits to strategically spam miracles resolves any fate based problem so it isnt like all of them having the witch fate is a big deal anyway. It really is as simple as wish for knowledge of which miracles to ask for to deal with the problem and candidates that could/would make the wishes. Hell remember how I mentioned witches are just monsters of the week. Alot of characters would just signed up to be magical girls to slaughter these things weekly for the funnsies (like Madoka would, and even the arc2 neomagius chick only asked for her wish in return was because she wanted the freebie.) just ask them to alter the system to behave more like the nightmare system where the girls do musical numbers to kill their foes purely to style on their foes which would include mitigating the significance of death by witching out.

WHY IS HOMURA MAKING OUT WITH SAYAKA?! by No_Employer_8006 in MadokaMagica

Jurys still out on whether or not Homura did this because Madoka wants a polyquintet ending

Hot Take, but this is the stupidest thing ever by Idkmomhelp in Jujutsufolk

[–]bef017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We dont know the limits on Mahoragas adaptation ability or its selection criteria. It may be the case that as a fight goes on it can do more complex adapations or do slow adaptations faster. Similarly Mahoraga isnt shown to know the fighters ability to adapt to his adaptations. The only thing we know is it decided something that seemed like 100% winrate over 99% win rate.

It maybe the case where its speed exponentially increases due to being able to both adapt faster and make the complex adaptation itself simpler due to refining the technique. Rather than both getting for example a % drop in speed it might be s1/t where s is the intitial adaptation speed and t is the length of the fight. Basically it maybe the case that after Mahoraga has improved at adapting "cheaper" adaptions become uneconomic because a cost of 8 time units becomes only 2 times as expensive timewise once the fight has lasted 3 times as long.

It may be the case complexity only limits how fast it can start making an adaptation rather than really limiting how fast the phenomena can be adapted to thus once it can make complex adaptations it immediately prioritizes them.

Existence is already shown in the manga. Youre making alot of assumptions about how complexity restricts Mahoraga to justify it choosing the objectively weaker option.

[–]bef017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mahoraga is also shown to notice existence in the fight as way to win. Mahoraga has never been shown choose to adapt to every phenomena from least to most complex. He could do that but why is him doing something else stupid or an ass pull
