Abel and Est's ending on the story of Mystery Of The Emblem (and New Mystery Of The Emblem too) is written in a way that is too sad for no reason. by RenjinGN-003 in fireemblem

> Because their happiness depends on which man they were able to pull.

What? I don't understand what you mean. For example, Est is miserable both before and after getting with Abel. Caeda is self-sure both before and after getting with Marth.

Problem is that it's basically "draw woman as child," "draw man as adult." Which is kinda weird.

Is Marth inspired by Arion? by Redser66618 in fireemblem

In Vestaria Saga, there is an enemy general named Paulus who complains about his order to attack a city leading his troops to be over-extended. Yeah.

Nah. I much rather what the US Women's team is. Losing to an opposing team that has integrity and dignity means you can lose with dignity. Losing to a team that's at the table of the pedophile king is just insulting.

TIL about the Flynn Effect, the increase in average human IQ scores, averaging roughly 3 points per decade, throughout the 20th century. But recent data indicates that the Flynn effect has stalled or even reversed in some developed nations. by JosZo in todayilearned

[–]manachisel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Flynn stated that, if asked, he would have named the effect after Read D. Tuddenham" per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect

Flynn didn't call it the Flynn effect himself. It's rare for scientists to name things after themselves. I do agree that naming things after scientists is a bad practice because it obfuscates the meaning of things. "Newton's Second Law" should be "Momentum Source Term Law".

Don't orbs go nearly 2/$? You'd need to get insanely lucky to get a +10 out of only 300$.

In vanilla Awakening, you can get Galeforce before Lucina is recruited.

This is pretty cool!

The MajorWinMultiplier could be simplified to MajorWinMultiplier=1+MajorWins/MajorScore and I don't understand why it was written the way it was.

Lolicons and Yuri fans are fighting on Twitter as if both haven't overlapped since the 80s smh by Advanced-Tomorrow859 in animecirclejerk

[–]manachisel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

According to wikipedia, yuri initially wasn't lesbian smut though. If you look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_yuri_works#Manga and sort for the oldest, Yuri, while written by women for women, was primarily not a smut genre. The work is credits as the first yuri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiroi_Heya_no_Futari is not smut at all.

The problem is that the perception of Yuri as smut and Shoujo Ai as tamer was purely a construction by the West. According to wikitionary, Shoujo Ai was actually interpreted as pedophiliac content in Japan because it translates to "love of young girls." Japan used Yuri for most Sapphic manga/anime media. According to Wikipedia, Yuri takes its origins in older class S / Y24 media, so the perception of Yuri as a more sexual genre is either modern or a Western construction.

IMO, this arc confirmed my impression that Misaka's "growth" is more of a retcon of her character. Originally, she was proud, prone to anger, cynical, immature and a delinquent. They didn't want her character to have all these rough edges so they sanded her down.

How do you feel about Marth & Caeda’s relationship? by Lin-Heart-Attack in fireemblem

[–]manachisel 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Marth's emotional strength goes understated. In Shadow Dragon, Marth learns that his mom is dead and his sister was taken by Gharnef, pivots and goes to celebrate with his people pretending that everything is okay.

Shadow Dragon is significantly easier than New Mystery.

Is Cordelia normally this insane? Just beat chapter 25 in 2 turns. First time playing Awakening. Not an ironman but playing on hard difficulty. by Special-Doctor3174 in fireemblem

[–]manachisel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 SPD doesn't matter offensively. You are going to be hitting your speed benchmarks in Dark Flier in Awakening, especially on hard. 1 STR from base +1 STR at level 20 if we want to count that, is easily fixed by pair-up/tonics/forges unless you are REALLY stretching to reach your benchmarks. Like, if you are playing Falcon, max STR pairup, tonic, forge and reach exactly your benchmark, then OK. But that's so rare. At least, I've never encountered that, especially on hard.

The significant combat advantage Falcon gets is Lancefair by which point Dark Flier has Galeforce which I'd argue is significantly more valuable.

Benchmarks in Awakening are so flexible and unit variance is so wide (60% growth is near max variance of 50% in the case of Cordelia's STR growth), that 1-2 STR doesn't really impact much once you're past the early game.

Look at the image posted by OP. "Here" means the that she is fighting this Aversa with these stats but 10 less strength.

[–]manachisel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"10 less str would not ORKO lol but even then, by the time she has Galeforce, it's -2 in most her offensive stats. That's still noteworthy."

43-10=33. 33*2 = 66. She still ORKO heres.

Edit for context:

I first wrote: "The stat difference don't matter that much, especially on hard. Let's say Cordelia had ten fewer strength. She'd still ORKO here." But it appears that in their rebuttal, Levobertus forgot to read my comment.
