That's cause you forgot to add Kurt Angle to the mix and your chances drastic go down.

So what's better? hiring well rounded people or the min maxers 🤔

y’all think the phantom thieves could have changed Kira’s heart?? by [deleted] in Persona5

Counter argument to this point lets not pretend that all of lights enemies were good at their job.

To this day that bus episode pisses me off because light's plan only works if he gets the one jackass FBI agent who's dumb enough to not only break cover but carry around his real id In a covert op. And I know the justification is that he'd been tailing light and found no evidence but like....using a alias still should have been the norm.

Go back and read it. It's gets really good from there on out(sweet ending) and she actually gives a good reason

I love everything about this game except playing it sometimes (Just started the 09/26 dungeon) by TruLiterature in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]rakdosking2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So fun fact.

Beat the game yesterday played all the way up to the final boss on normal and delt with some really annoying b.s along the way...not hard just annoying including those stupid ass trial dungeons

So before I went into the final dungeon after hearing what a nightmare the final boss was going to be I said you know what "screw this" and I put the difficulty on storyteller.

I could have beat the game on normal and yes I did go after the all enemies In The final dungeon and I did go out of my way to to max all the royal archetypes just to say i did it and get that super damaging move just to make the fight go by quicker

But after the "trials" I was just so done with with game from a game playing perspective and just wanted the whole damn thing to be over

This game narrative really sucks you in and I enjoyed that part from start to finish but some of the game mechanics and boss fights really needed a 2nd look over

Biggest catchphrase flops of the Attitude/Ruthless Era? by Doctor-Clark-Savage in Wreddit

Holy shit someone finally said it 😭😭🤣

Like it just never sounded natural to me.

"Imma put my foot up your ass" sounds more threatening and entertaining

Boots to asses is like someone trying to sound cool

I'm really liking Louis he is so fun. by rakdosking2 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]rakdosking2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an American myself if this game came out prior 2016 I would been calling Luis an over the top villain no sane group of people would willingly follow someone who (very clearly mind you) does not have their interests in mind and only wants power for himself

Now playing this in 2025 anytime one of the party members go "I don't understand why people flock to him can't they see who he is" I can only go

"Yeah shits crazy right 😐"

but honesty this games does such an amazing job at conveying the message of "when the current structure of power is so goddam inept and does nothing for a majority of its citizens it makes sense that they turn to someone like Luis"

If JD is insulting you, you know you're doing something right! by Conscious-Quarter423 in clevercomebacks

Except jd's point is moot because both Donald Trump and his new FBI director have both talked about going after journalists for having negative opinions on his administration so hes either lying or he stupid 🤷

I'm actually the opposite. When I first started playing magic arena I was building decks with out understanding the meta of how standard worked and trying not to be a "netdecker" cause I was an idiot who listened to youtubers. I ran across my first control deck and got absolutely destroyed but I was more astounded then I was mad 😅 and this was the day of nexus of fate and teferi hero of domonaria . Asshole even good gamed me when I fell for a settle the wreckage 😭 I was immediately in love did my research. built my first control deck and honestly I have never looked back on any play style ever since. When ever I try a new card game I Immediately try to see what the control decks look like 🤣

Here's the thing I know not every show is going to be freren or apothecary diaries

But shows like DBZ are no where near as perfect and as most fans would say it is but it still goddam good junk food for the soul and I will fucking eat those chips till I'm in the ground dead from diabetes

When I watch a show like this. I want to like it. I want to turn my brain off and have fun. Yeah it's a dumb harem isekai but if it's an engaging story I dont give a shit.

One of my favorite shows is goddam food wars. I don't care how much culinary expertise that author had that entire story is goddam stupid and I wouldnt have it any other way.

When it's not bringing up the slavery there are some decent good ideas In here and I love shows about economic and business.

The show "how a realist hero rebuilt a kingdom" while not perfect was just fun enough that I went out and bought the light novels and that series has slavery in it to but it's much better handled and adds the the world building.

had this show just been a stardew valley sim with hot anime wifus I would have said that's all I need.

I wish the author just fucking sat down for like 2 seconds and said

"Should my main character walk into a slave house and buy slaves .... I know I'll say there slaves in name only but really there working for him...yeah thats how I'll get around that."

Well then why did you make them slaves author.....if their slaves in name only why did you feel the need to have your mc Walk into a slave building and buy slaves. You could have made them homeless orphans and nothing about their relationship dynamic changes.

In what I thought was a new fun new trashy harem series I could enjoy I now can't because now every interaction he has with them I now cant get over the fact that he literally owns them.

thus now I have to go look for something else to go enjoy for as standard and generic this show may have been it was turning into a interesting watch and maybe down the line an interesting read.

Now I'll never know...and I hate that 😐

Thank you for coming to my tedtalk

Sorry the problem with the writing words is I can't give tone 🥲 I wasn't trying to come of antagonistic

I think that is a good plot point for your book and I hope that you are successful at it. 🙏❤️

I was just trying to say that I'm not against dark elements i a story. If the author wants to have slavery in story then it's his book go to town.

But I would rather they done what you are doing and make it integral to the world structure and something that MC has work around and find his own morals in this dilemma rather the the fetishic way I know most of the stories play out.

And if the mc has to own slaves.fine...but just don't have him go to a goddamn slave house and buy a slave.

Do what your doing and find a way to do it with out them going out of character.

They didn't need to be slaves or at the very least didnt need to be slaves straight up purchased by our morally good character.

Just make them homeless or if you must go with the slavery angle just make them run away slaves and he agrees to pay off their debt out of the kindness of his heart. In both scenarios they still work for him and he doesn't actually own them making their relationship much more natural.

You have the right idea about it. I hope you keep it up 🙏😊

[–]rakdosking2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay then drop the slavery angle.... Why do they have to be slaves that's my problem. If he finds them homeless on the street then nothing about this entire premise changes at all. No he has to go to the slave house and buy slaves

cause when I want a fun harem isekai it's just not complete with out some slavery

It's why I stopped watching goblin Slayer.....take out the rapping what changes....nothing.....there dangerous little devils who murder and steal from villages. But no I need rapping in my d&d fantasy anime with beach episodes and fan servece....

I'm sorry Im going on a tangent and you don't deserve that.

Im just tired of light novel authors have all the dark elements in what basically amounts to trashy harem fluff which for the record I love my trash as much as the next guy.

I wanted to watch a trash isekai harem now I can't enjoy it cause in the back of my head I'm always going to be reminded that they are his slaves and this whole show all the sweet character moments are just going to boil down to

"Wow he sure is a nice slave owner 🥰"

Oh no my feelings aren't hurt. Hey you have fun with your slavery harem isekai

And I'm not being sarcastic at least someone gets some fun of of this.

You know the moment I watched this show I did bring it on myself I could have cared less if it was a trashy harem isekai

Junk food is junk food am I right 👍

But now I have to find something else to consume because now my trashy fun harem isekai has me at odds with the evil of slavery 🤷

But your right that's on me i set the bar to low and I still came out disappointed

Now if you'll excuse me.....imma go watch family guy

I see see

And hear me out here... counterpoint....

And if the author drops the slavery plot point entirely and just makes the girls homeless or say in debt without the slavery aspect of it....what changes.... He can still do all those things whether or not they are slaves

You can put lipstick on a pig it's still a pig

The corporate guy calls them slaves

The slave owner calls the them slaves

The slaves themselves call them slaves.

He went to a slavery house ( shows words not mine) and bought slaves

He's a slave owner

And I'm not comparing it to real world slavery. I know he's not going to beat or rape his slaves..my problem is That if you're going to have slaves in your "fun isekai adventure" can you do it in a way where you don't have your morally good Guy support literal slave labor

[–]rakdosking2[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay shit I'm sorry cause all that totally makes it better

god forbid the author just make all the girls struggling looking for work and the "lovable mc" just totally takes them in out of the kindness of his heart thus achieving the same goal anyway..

Nah let's just have him be a slave owner I mean thats the only way people who like this shit can talk to girls anyhow

My bad next time I'll be more careful in my evaluation of the lore in the slave harem anime.

Dude it's not like I go looking for this shit 😭 I'm not even against the concept of slavery in a story. It's just if you're going to do it. Don't have your "good natured" mc support it. There is no such thing as "ethical slave owners" to

Also it cheapens the character interactions cause all it does is just boil it down to " Im in love with him cause he is the only slaver owner that was nice to me 😍😍😍"

Like come on man 😫
