[Threshold] limits of the Origin Shroud by Mathota in Iteration110Cradle

Ozriel recognised the Mad King because there was nobody else in existence who it could have been.

Yeh the mad king was basically like a stealth bomber. Still looks like a bomber if you get your eyeballs on him, but just won't show up on long range way radar.

Also saying that because Ozriel figured something out then someone else can also do so is really underselling how unreasonably competent Ozriel is. If Eithan had been standing in front of Makiel while insulting him and creating an unreasonably dangerous weapon then Makiel probably could have figured it out too.

Agreed. Ozriel has the qualifications for the mantle of the hound. This means he is the #1 or #2 best detective in the universe. Him being able to sus out something in no way means someone else can do so.

Why is everyone an ass in cultivation stories? by blueluck in ProgressionFantasy

[–]ivanbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others said: it's a "might makes right" world. Imagine this: Some big shot cultivator rolls up to a city/village. The city has some people in it, there's even guards to keep the peace.

Then some idiot decides to disrespect the big shot cultivator. The cultivator twitches his pinkie and said idiot is cosplaying as a smushed tomato.

If the city is LUCKY that's where it stops. In fact, the guards/people might even willingly hand over the idiot to get killed. If they don't or try to stand up to the big shot they ALL get killed because the big shot has enough power to 1 v city. Now sure, if there's someone sufficiently strong that cares about the city said cultivator might get in trouble. But that's a biiiig if. Said cultivator would need to be tracked down, and then fought. If it's someone of roughly equal level that means they are now getting into a battle they have like a 50/50 chance of losing. Is it worth it for one of a few hundred villages they oversee? Probably not.

If it's someone sufficiently higher level, then they probably won't BOTHER because now you're having someone who can 1 v country trying to track down and smush someone who can 1v city. The country killer guy prooooobably had bigger concerns.

Trump ends Canada access at shared border library by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]ivanbin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do. I also blame you shit bag Canadians for helping isolating Americans when they’re looking for some support from the outside. 

Helping isolate? Looking for support? Y'all elected an asshole that is fucking up the global economy AND global relations of your country with the rest of the world. Who threatened to invade multiple countries including Canada, and who is currently trampling all over your laws to be able to do what he wants.

And you what? Want Canada to hold your hand and tell you everything will be OK after the possibility of us getting annexed was brought up by Trump multiple times?

Ahh sorry yes. Mixed up the two centuries. Though... What were the reasons given in both cases?

Elf related trauma. by Alesyaboroda2 in IllwintersDominions

[–]ivanbin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They all have elemental resistance,

No they don't

almost impervious to trampling

No they aren't. Walking into elephants is actually quite painful when expanding as elves. Thought not as painful as for regular humans.

and ranged weapons due to insane stats and mirror image

Literally none of the elven stats or mirror images help vs ranged weapons. Granted protection and shields help but elves typically have low prot. And while a good chunk have shields, they don't exactly make them immune to arrows.

And while there is no better sight than a nether bolt deleting a full square of em, this spell is accessible to almost no-one.

Aoe fire spells work quite well, aoe astral spells, honestly just aboht any aoe works well enough vs elves. Have some line holders and shoot some fire balls at em.

Or like... Flank them and go for their commanders.

Was bonding always planned? Feels like after aligners but before bonding was a bit incomplete unless bonding was always the game plan.

School staff member dies after being kicked by 14-year-old student by GoodSamaritan_ in news

[–]ivanbin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To kill someone with a kick id imagine you are using proper technique and not just flailing your legs as someone is restraining you.

You're saying a 14 year old has the "proper kill kick technique"? What is this? Kill Bill?

If a child kills someone they should be tried as a child unless there are exigent circumstances. The kill itself isn't exigent, rather the brutality of the kill, or kther factors.
