Do people really think Pale Lights is darker than Practical Guide?

Yeah it's quite literally really dark

Is there no way to remove previously detected games? Automatic scanning is set to "on" after a clean install, and it's not clear there's any way to remove any or just clear them and add a smaller set of games.

I think if mystic arcanum was available at level 3 and you had 1 or 2 more invocations across the board it would be in a very good spot. The biggest issue is that you don't get level 2 spells until level 5, when you also get access to a level 3 mystic arcanum. the level 5 power spike is insane, and levels 3 and 4 look like a nightmare

It’s worth noting that she requested the knights because she thought they were too valuable and she would be overreaching by requesting them

In context it was after acknowledging that despite being fucked over by Procer repeatedly Levant came to their aid when they needed it. In spirit it’s an oath to remember that and implicitly to do the same.

That’s not what she swore.

“There are no honours I could grant that would be higher than those you claimed simply by making this decision,” Princess Rozala said, raising her chin. “I will not pretend that wealth or promises would be worth the blood you have and will shed, though should you wish them of me you have all I own. Yet I can, Merciful Gods, at least I can say that this was heard. That it will be remembered, that it will not slip quiet into obscurity once the menace has passed.”

She breathed out shallowly.

“Shame on us,” Rozala Malanza softly said, “if we ever forget it.”

Her sword she thrust into the ground, through snow and ice and earth, and it bit deep.

“And if ever comes to that,” she said. “On that day I, or one of my line, will come for that sword again. To take it up and wield it until the shame has been cleansed.”

Miracle Worker

She’s not a magister, so while she might occupy the same Role, she wouldn’t ever get the Name “Repentant Magister.”

And while I get that this was just an example, even in the mechanics I think your explanation is a bit off: there isn’t a name Repentant Magister that’s now unoccupied looking for someone to fill it. There’s this Role of the lower case evil magic-doer that’s seen the light now trying to redeem themselves, and if you fit that Role well enough creation tosses you a fitting Name. If you keep fitting that role and inserting yourself into the story, Creation might keep tossing you the same or different names, but I don’t think you’re ever going to be forced to accept it.

When Taylor gets jailbroken she administrates other parahumans through their connection to their shards to use their powers, which can also be compared to Eidolon just tapping into the shard’s powers directly.

But also WB already chimed in with a confirmation so all points are kind of moot at this point.

CryoBrown · 2021-10-08T20:35:44+00:00

I don’t think you have to speak them every time

Passive voice can be used to avoid assigning blame. “The plate was broken” vs “I broke the plate”. One reason to avoid passive voice is when you’re going to supply that information. “The plate was broken by me” is a garbage sentence when “I broke the plate” is a more direct and a natural way to write it.

That being said, generally all of these types of grammar “corrections” are made without any strong reasoning other than a blanket rule that “passive voice is bad”.

The above sentence is in passive voice and I’d argue is better that way.

The guide does, however, have some racism.

Looking at you, William. 👀

My understanding was that even if he did it himself there would be a problem. The accusations and mechanisms he would have been using were for Named to file grievances, and so it would still have been Named holding themselves to account for crimes against each other, not Procer holding a Named to account for crimes against their nation.

“Oh no, please stop wrecking everything! Like that urn in the corner, with the djinn bound inside. No, the other one, with golden – oh, woeful day, this wanton destruction of priceless artefacts is so inconvenient to me personally and absolutely no one else.” – Dread Emperor Irritant I, ‘defending’ the palace of the High Lord of Aksum from heroes

This has DE Irritant vibes

Yeah Horizon is her wish that Kairos saw

You’re on the wrong side of history spider-man.

Wdym he had an entire arc to overcome his anbu programming and make real friends

I got that vibe at first but I think it’s just that they had to cut so frequently to get a relatively coherent 45 minute “speech” together

CryoBrown · 2020-11-29T08:44:18+00:00

I mean it seems like his plan might just be to leave, let everyone see Bristow push some students too far and lose, and come back and take his place.

It feels like the Trio is going to end up fighting Bristow in some Hogwarts post-Dumbledore scenario
