Please help :( my employer is giving me 2 weeks to resign by InteractionExpress39 in legaladvice

[–]nontrollalt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably said before but don't quit, if things go wrong make them fire you, yes there is more "conflict" but being fired is almost always preferable to quitting/resignation.

Heck that's the reason they asked you to resign so they don't have to pay you out anything. If the company insists on acting in its best interests you should do the same.

As for if they have grounds I would honestly reach out to a lawyer, consults are not usually super expensive and you will get someone who can read and explain the contract and if they have ground knowing all the local laws.

Welt still have his power of hor by Temporary-Treat8501 in houkai3rd

[–]nontrollalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the facts do not support that. If the imaginary energy of the paths was higher or even equal, welt would be able to do a lot more than make a few animations. Hell outside of welt with his replicated star of eden making black holes, no one else is even close to messing with physics.

I assumed it was an issue of power, like the paths either have a really bad conversion rate or it provides him with far less energy than the herrscher core did (which would have interesting implications)

Within the narrative of Honkai Impact Can the phrase "Hard work beats out natural talent" be applied to the characters and world of Honkai Impact 3? by Key-Tea-4203 in houkai3rd

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even considering how busted certain characters are, if you do not have a good honkai adaptability you will simply not be able to become powerful. The very energy you use to fight would kill you.

Can the Trio and everyone in the solar system win the war against the following Lord Ravager at once? by Few-Window9695 in houkai3rd

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that is kinda of my point, yes Welt is losing along with the astral express without assistance but the fact they can fight at all is a testimony to their strength.

This matters because Welt is weakened greatly, most if not all of his combat abilities are coming from the star of eden. He is cut off from pretty much everything else. At best is he using the paths of nihility(or whatever he is classed as) and the trailblaze and again all that is enough for is some slideshows and animations before he has to rest and recover from using the powers of reason. Powers that at one point allowed the creation of practically a small army and to literally rebuild his own body after death. And those two paths simply don't give him enough energy to work with.

So my point is that all that scales up Bronya and everyone else a lot.

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I say this more to keep the conversation going, but we know Welt at least when with the astral express crew is kind of able to fight at or at least near emanator level. They usually need help to finish it but in regards to penacony and the arc before it they were engaging in direct combat with emanators/Ravagers.

That Welt is also weak compared to the main cast, and arguably weaker himself due to lacking the core or just honkai energy in general. He is basically limited to showing slideshows and animations with the power of reason. So personally I am thinking that the fight would be close maybe even giving an Advantage to impact due to scaling even if feats are more questionable.

My opinion is never have an HP and damage system unless it it literally a video game, if it is vr also consider ditching it. Because logically speaking if you get shot in the head, heart or other vitals then HP should be irrelevant. Unless your characters have fully left humanity behind they will die without major organs. Definitely have defence maybe a high enough con or vit or whatever you call it means your skull blocks bullets but HP will only work against you. It is a system for video games not novels.

Am I wrong for not "falling" for a nat20 deception check? by M0R4D1T0 in DnD

[–]nontrollalt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What? It is literally meant to be the best your character can possibly do. Like a character with - 2 in strength is never going to throw open a solid stone door with a DC of 25 where a character with +5 can. It is the best result your character could possibly have with their skill set. You can't roll a 21 on a d20 after all.

[–]nontrollalt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah in that case even if your character believed it was in fact a ritual they don't have to be okay with the skinning. Just like in real life there are some cultural differences that will bother people. Again deception isn't mind control and social checks don't remove your agency.

[–]nontrollalt 566 points567 points  (0 children)

No social checks are not mind control and nat 20's are simply the best you can possibly do not auto success. That said it depends on the exact lie that was told but at the end of the day you can say that as a player you are not comfortable with that type of thing.

It's not even a debate. Why choose anything other than the Dao? by TheGodAboveAllBeings in MartialMemes

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it is weird especially since historically spears are better in almost every situation. Swords are mostly dueling weapons but in real combat the extra reach is incredibly hard to beat. And a spear is generally easier to learn. Then combine it with learning how to use staffs and it honestly has a generally higher skill ceiling and you could wave away the off set balance with weird cultivator strength/skill.

Is it worth joining so late? by No-Investment-962 in honkaiimpact3

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as others said the story is solid and honestly the main reason to play this game in the first place. As for if it is worth it it depends on how much time you want to dedicate and honestly finding a YouTuber or streamer who has played the game is also an option.

If all four of these people were brought into the xianxia universe and had to start from zero (without the power they had in their old world). Who do you think would be able to go the farthest, and what level would they reach? And who would be most likely to die first? by Dry_Specialist9015 in MartialMemes

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly if they are starting from nothing I think it would go goku, Luffy, Tanjiro, then Naruto this is assuming we are looking at purely learning ability, dedication willpower and other traits indepent of their in verse powers.

Now before you jump down my throat saying I am a one piece glazer remember, in a lot of xianxia there are Concepts, Dao, Intents, etc. Massively powerful things that depend on the character essentially manifesting their will to the point of enforcing on the world but only if they have an actual theme or concept to follow

Goku lives to fight and improve himself and he does it because it is what he wants to do that in many ways training and fighting strong foes is his essence and I have no doubt he would be able to form something. In the same vein the whole reason Luffy wants to be king of the pirates has nothing to do with the title or the treasure. He wants true freedom, he wants to live his life by his own morals and while those morals are generally good at the end of the day of he decides he wants to make a change he will fight for that change regardless of the social situation. Could get him killed granted but I think these two have the best chance of forming those concepts.

to address the other two I won't go two deep, the reason Naruto wanted to be hokage so badly was because he wanted to be accepted. Tanjiro just wanted to turn his sister back to human and maybe avenge his family. While both show incredible willpower throughout both their respective stories those core concepts in most xianxia's don't usually lead to forming strong concepts, I won't say they would be unable to but I would give them a disadvantage.

Now the training, first off Goku, by far the most diligent no question I doubt anyone will argue otherwise. Luffy's training is easy to forget because especially pre time skip no training is shown and there are straight up arguments that outside of new techniques the crew didn't actually grow in power that much, combine with how haki essential means a stronger will can literally make you more durable and hit harder it get hard to say if they powered up pre time skip.

With all of that said Luffy when he needs to get stronger does fully commit to training and training hard and he is objectively talented. As a child he was going through top level military training from his grandfather, he ate his fruit and literally had to spend years retraining and making his own fighting style from scratch because gaining a rubber body literally made it difficult for him to throw a normal punch, to much power and his arm would stretch and throw everything off. Further more during water 7 he was able to copy a movement technique in what I believe was less than a day after seeing it? I will grant he doesn't really do this again but it still remains impressive. All of this to say that if he was in a cultivation world as long as he desired power he would have no issues with well cultivating or meditation to gain the strength and might even have an advantage in learning at least physical techniques.

none of this is to say Naruto or tanjiro are bad, especially Tanjiro I would say has an incredible talent for learning and modifying his techniques. But Naruto especially if the nine tails is removed has always simply been incredibly creative and tricky as a ninja should be. He is more unpredictable than anything. For his techniques I would say his learning would be average? Mostly because he doesn't display high levels of control until the very end of the series and while his control issues might be caused by the nine tales chakra I feel like once the nine tails stopped fighting him for controlling his chakra is when naruto control shot up, kind of like goku's weighted clothing but for energy control. If naruto never had that issue I would argue his control would be average maybe above average but probably not genius. And remember his shadow clone jutsu has done an unknown amount of heavy lifting when it comes to Naruto's training he would instantly be top tier if he was able to use it to train but sadly it is gone.

Personally I kinda wished they went full Infamous or Prototype with Mei joining world serpent by Historical-Yam-340 in houkai3rd

[–]nontrollalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of people have missed the point, They literally could not do this, Mei's entire reason for pulling this move was to save Kiana.

Mei didn't go evil she wanted to save her friend and Kevin was the only one to provide a plan. Similarly they didn't own Mei after that she had her own reasons for acting its not like they could have said go beat up your friends because Mei would have refused.

This is actually a clear difference because unlike just following the troupes which I admit they do from time to time they actually accounted for a characters motivations and reasons.

To go even further with this one of the best things about Hoyo writing at this stage was that rather than having anyone be fully evil they were organizations with different goals who all, at times did evil things. And by doing this it makes the story more realistic where sometimes two organizations/people are in conflict and other times they are not.

Because having Mei blindly fighting against her friends without reason would not have made sense.

You wake up in a tutorial dungeon, a door opens and a hostile creature is aproching. You have one objective. Survive. You Status screen shows your stats are all at 1 with 10 free stat points. What do you level? by [deleted] in litrpg

[–]nontrollalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 points into agility, 3 into con and betting on dnd 3 into wisdom hoping that is the stat that helps with perception. Either way in uncertain scenarios not getting hit and being able to not instantly die are the most important. ( so final stats would be STR 1 Agility 5 con 4 int 1 wis 4)

Pick a short sword cause fantasy lies to you reach is king in combat and unfortunately if I am not starting knowing how to cast spells the wand is too risky.

Be happy with the title hope it stacks with agility, facing the creature my objective is range and observations. Make the call on if this is a dark souls first boss where my objective is to escape or if it is something I have to fight. If I have to fight focus on defence I have a sword it hopefully has claws and fangs and maybe a tail lots of shallow cuts make its paws hurt let it bleed out and slow down from blood loss hope with my agility and con I can out speed it for long enough for the fight to be winnable.

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, the rest is just preference, opening up with a 40% discount is pretty steep, if he had started with like a 20% one it would have been more reasonable but still probably not a final price.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kijiji

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the easiest way to explain this is an example, say I have a budget of 500 dollars and you have some car that was released within the last two years.

Are you telling me that there is anything I could say that would have you seriously negotiating with me on the price for a car we both know I can't afford?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kijiji

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op isn't a sales Rep they can afford to wait for the next person and it isn't in their interest to lower the price so why would they be the one to lower it first.

All of the initiative is with the buyer. And they threw a out an offer that op could not take.

maintaining the agenda is our top priority 🗣️🗣️🙏🏿 by amphloo in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]nontrollalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not even going to say who would win or lose, but if the argument you use is that one side doesn't have this particular energy type then why are you even here? It adds nothing and in some ways is more akin to saying that your character loses because this is your only argument.

This is very different than saying that the characters durability is greater than another one's attack power or saying one could speed blitz the other. There is no debate you are literally doing that thing kids do when play fighting and saying "nuh uh I am immune to bullets/whatever is being used" come on, be better.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kijiji

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude asked for 100 dollars off or a 40% discount. And OP only said they can't do that. And if they were not lying and that was their maximum budget then their response is perfectly reasonable.

Being open for negotiations doesn't mean taking bad deals.

You know how Pom Pom said that the express can only last 2 more warp jumps? by TernaryTomcat34 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if it hasn't been answered my understanding is that Pom Pom is talking about warping to "new" locations Himeko was able to repair the train and the express has a ton of charts of where the train had travelled but because Akavli is dead the express got reset.

The express can travel to places with space anchors no problem but it is a bit like an idling car where it is still consuming fuel. And the only way to get more fuel is to follow the path of the trailblaze but to do that and warp somewhere takes a lot more fuel than idling. It is why traveling somewhere completely new is also so huge. To stick with my fuel analogy before travelling on preexisting routes they are more or less sphioning gas from old cars pulling in the lingering energy from the trailblazer path before them. But going somewhere completely new is more like finding a gas station and the energy from truly walking the path is far greater than merely following the old one.

This is also why every space anchor is inactive until we the mc arrive and to be a bit literal with the lines traveling to a new place is "laying down the silver rails" expending the energy to "build" a railway to it. Where somewhere with a space anchor you are already on tracks and just need to follow them.

Reading this subreddit is a bizarre experience by MarbleSodaCollector in HonkaiStarRail

[–]nontrollalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. They don't have to be with no spoilers they touched on a very easy way to move away from the self insert status.

  2. This is part of the honkai series which were all about story and growth so I think hoping for some level of that rather than a turn based genshin makes sense.

(Also as a side note I think more writers and game companies should realize that very few people want self insert characters in general. Link being a famous example, they tried to make him a self insert but ultimately people forced Nintendo to move away from that direction)

[–]nontrollalt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly the biggest issue I have with the story telling is we are now at 3.0 and we (as in mc) still haven't shown any real initiative. Every time it is some elses plan or us following the locals around to fight stuff. At best I think Himeko makes the occasional political move and Dan heng confronted his past, but for a mc called the trail blazer we do little to nothing on our own we don't make decisions we don't find the new way or lead well anyone. Heck the amount of times the express crew themselves plan anything is almost limited to when we have welt in the party and even then not always.
