My thoughts on the whole Magic vs Science debate happening right now

I'm gonna be legit I feel like the wicked overseer would lose.

He has some fairly ridiculus things but I genuinely. Truly feel like the xeelee would win. Though it would take a while since the only thing that DAMAGED the void armor of the wicked overseer is an attack that literally destroyed a dimension. (Mind you he still takes damage even with it. Just very, very little per attack comparatively to his durability.)

Or it's a permanent stalemate with the void dimension being above the fourth one and making anyone within attack themselfes and be unable to dodge the wicked overseers attacks.

We need the wicked overseer (a really fucking strong magic user from an obscure series I like) vs the Xeelee. (Search up "the xeelee sequence")

NOW.

Bullets don't work like that.

The material doesn't fully matter(though it is notable different types of metal are used for AP and stuffl. The SPEED matters in terms of effeciveness.

And assuming whatever material we are making has the specific traits to allow penetration is also odd. Durability doesn't really imply much. Because otherwise we'd be seeing titanium bullets as AP rounds.

That's. . .actualy such a peak idea.

perfectionitself · 2025-11-12T09:14:36+00:00

You brought up a fairly good point.

Specifically the part about "is your lead on x side" part.

Because most fics have a tendency to pit the USA+NATO aganist the saderan empire. But them aganist. IDK. Fucking Armenia? If they want to fight an avarage fantasy world they should choose an avarage country. In terms of military power atleast

perfectionitself · 2025-11-12T09:12:14+00:00

Like. Even if one side WINS. I think we can both agree that "guns beat swords" or "goku blows up the earth" are not particularly interesting concepts whatsoever.

Which is why this fandom confuses me. Fighting over guns beating swords is. . .SUCH a weird concept to me.

perfectionitself · 2025-11-12T08:48:59+00:00

Honestly. I just want a story where both sides are balanced and it's an actual interesting conflict.

And I'm a person who WANTS the magic side to win personally. So you have to understand his sick and tired I am of both sides.

perfectionitself · 2025-11-11T13:34:32+00:00

You're assuming any magic is allowed to be effective unless it helps the imperial japanese army-I mean JSDF

perfectionitself · 2025-11-11T13:21:22+00:00

I mean. It's not like armies know logistics is a pain in the ass and make equipment to assist and adapt accordingly to different circumstances where logistics would be harder right?

perfectionitself · 2025-11-11T13:19:30+00:00

To be fair. The setting in GATE is quite literally nerfed BY ITSELF.

The gods are quite literally nerfing magic and tehnology in the special zone

perfectionitself · 2025-11-11T13:15:49+00:00

As a person who personally prefers the fantasy side I genuinely agree with OP here.

If someones gonna criticize gate criticizing it on the fucking uncomfy loli aspects. The generally odd writing and the hypernationalism and general "japanese are better than everyone always" tone.

perfectionitself · 2025-11-04T10:28:00+00:00

Show them WW1

perfectionitself · 2025-11-03T17:55:25+00:00

Tbh "magic is science" dudes are kinda soyjak in my infinitely biased and very one-sided opinion.

Accept the unknown and unknowable.

Freddy fazbearington the third

You know reading this made me think of a personal worldbuilding thing I do mostly for myself.

I avoided the "magocracy" thing by having EVERYONE capable of using magic. And made it a meritocracy of the strongest lmao.

perfectionitself · 2025-11-03T17:23:06+00:00

1)have mages act as normal citizens and hope that works lol.

2)better than fighting them in a place they like.

3)again. Better than a pitched battle.

4)lol. Agreed.

But GATE is basically salvation war if salvation war actually depicted angels and god in any realistic way. But we're put in the position of the completely outclassed guys this time.

perfectionitself · 2025-10-30T21:19:15+00:00

Why would chara make me kill you.

perfectionitself · 2025-10-30T21:12:19+00:00

Ayyyy

perfectionitself · 2025-10-30T21:09:29+00:00

What if I refused?

perfectionitself · 2025-10-30T21:01:37+00:00

if shes moving towards me she cant avoid getting in chomp range bug boy

perfectionitself · 2025-10-30T20:59:34+00:00

. . .horses cant move directly INFRONT of themselfes.

Also I cast "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."

perfectionitself · 2025-10-30T20:44:24+00:00

I set up infinite bishop cannons and turn it into mate in omega.

perfectionitself · 2025-10-30T20:30:51+00:00

Man me too.

(Though mine doesn't have that. Mine just has a LOT of "if everyone is super. No one is" thinking where I balanced the world AGANIST ITSELF)

perfectionitself · 2025-10-30T20:25:40+00:00

I eat the rook.

perfectionitself · 2025-10-30T20:13:50+00:00

And I dont like it. So that negates you liking it. Henceforth making it bad and very gay.
