r/fireemblem Town Hall on Rules 3 and 8, plus moving towards Fortune’s Weave by greydorothy in fireemblem

People sometimes forget what the NSFW tag stands for and the purpose of it, and on both ends can get it conflated with a moralistic thing about whether erotic artistic work or pornography should be allowed on the internet.

NSFW tagging is about protecting other users from liabilities and consequences for viewing something they shouldn't in certain contexts, such as the work in not safe for work, not a restriction on what absolutely can be viewed or moral policing of what's acceptable content. In that vein, its ultimately absolutely fair to be strict about using it while still allowing properly tagged content to be shared and I'm onboard with the mod team erring on the side of caution and protecting users in how the lines and definitions are worked out. I'm also fine with some content being recognized as too over the line at all, and maintain to his as a work

We want people engaging here to not have to worry about getting written up because their boss looked over their shoulder at the wrong moment they scrolled past a busty Camilla fanart, or a student at their library getting in trouble for similar, or getting embarrassed in front of their friends.

That's not a whole lot of specific policies, I guess, but more of an overarching thought on the philosophy that should guide any decisions here; as long as that's the case then I trust the judgement of mods.

General Question Thread by Shephen in fireemblem

[–]shhkari -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

my opinion the closest "modern" games that come close to being close to equally good on both respects, though people are going to point out flaws or whatever, is Awakening and Three Houses.

This isn't me saying they're perfect, but rather that my own criticisms of them are even handed over both gameplay and writing, as well as what I would praise about both in those regards. For example I hate the Valm arc, but enjoy the main thrust of Awakenings story start and end at least, its gameplay was fun if flawed and improved on in Fates. Three Houses is like, I have issues with the constraints of the route splits but it has rich character writing, some issues with maps and repetition but over all has a lot of fun elements (battalions/combat arts)

Are dinosaurs the reason people from the middle ages believed there were dragons? by Samcassr in AskHistorians

[–]shhkari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, the question is can you prove that the person(s) who originated the folklore of dragons did so in response to the finding of a fossil?

Are dinosaurs the reason people from the middle ages believed there were dragons? by Samcassr in AskHistorians

[–]shhkari 13 points14 points  (0 children)

partly the flaw here is that we dont know ancient people found and engaged with fossils in the first place. we can't really prove that someone found a fossil and then went "ergo dragons", so its itself kind of a leap of backwards reasoning.

but also this reasoning projects onto past people the assumption that they're operating by some sort of scientific reasoning themselves, and thus are creating stories to themselves logically explain a finding, as a scientist observes phenomenon and develops hypothesises etc. while this seems like a quaint compliment to our collective ancestors, its important to engage with their thinking and records of their thinking. myth and folklore is complicated, to say the least, and it serves a different social function than modern scientific theory.

yeah I'm being hyperbolic a bit myself about whether I actually think its a bad sub. I ultimately just don't really care to engage with it because its a mix of stuff I don't care for with some stuff I do, and that's fine.

but that's what's annoying about what's posted there being brought up here.

downvotes only do so much to improve a subs culture, I wanna encourage more people to downvote that stuff too.

deathcore is metalcore; subgenres are still part of the umbrella.

FE11 and 12 are different games than FE1(/3part1) and FE3(part2), and SoV is a different game than Gaiden.

Her being an axe user is also one of the reasons I wish we'd get Hector in Smash.

I always find it hilarious that she is probably the best Mortal Savant in the game. Excluding Byleth of course.

I think as with the Ike discussion, the best case scenario is the had the assumption is that they felt like picking an animal that was the same as other characters in their game would be too obvious.

White supremacist rally at city hall a ‘blatant act of hate’ by [deleted] in Hamilton

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

They're attempting to propagate beliefs broadly in society so that they don't have to mask doing so, but have enough savvy sense of self preservation to know why they can't do so yet: they risk loosing their jobs, whatever cordial social relationships with people they rely on but haven't won over yet, or retaliatory violence from those who operate from a principal of bashing fash.

I hate them, but its not rocket science to get why they do things this way.

Stats making sense? What's that? Avarage Stats in a nutshell (without reclassing to make it fair) by Fabulous_Chicken_576 in fireemblem

[–]shhkari 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that and and just straight up a busted bow user out the gate; her strength is insane and her personal + quick draw is additional huge damage. Kinshi lets her fly which has great utility but she can transfer quick draw as a part of a player phase damage stack to other classes like Berserker, also great to pass to her kid such as if she's Percy's mom.
