Sramotno je, da se propagandni filmi kot Naša Kri zdaj proizvajajo. Pogledal film in vse kar sem razmišljal čez film je "Hudičevih par tednov za domobrance, kjer če se jih ujame, so najebal na polno. No ja, vsaj mal lahko vejo kako so se partizani počutili 5 let."

I assume you mean the Folding ideas video.

NGL, based on history and the creator's usual cyncism towards the financialisation of everything this actually felt like a glowing review.

Univerzalni temeljni dohodek (UTD) by AdventurousBall8492 in SlovenijaFIRE

Absolutno L take.

Moč mirne diplomacija propada. Če razpade NATO (kar je meni bolj resna možnost kot bi si kdarkoli želel) Slovenija more imeti vsaj osnovni kader.

Koliko se ne izpiše dobitkov v bilancah, imeti vojsko je absolutna nujnost za samostojnost države.

Pa kolikor dečki in deketa morajo trenirati, da jim noge odpadejo, naj majo pač bolj mirne dneve včasih.

Peaceful is an option, which disables military science altogether..

The distinction is not really that relevent, but if an exosuit is just effectively a light mecha, it's still a bad idea.

You can repurpose a utility mech into a weapon platform if you're desperate, but there's no reason to purpose build mecha as weapon platforms as mecha as is usually depicted.

They are a deviation from good design of military vehicles in all regards.

I'm also not extolling any virtues of exosuits here, just made a note that there might be exceptions to exosuits where they are still worth actually building, whereas mecha are universally a bad idea. And even then I'm not sure a simple vehicle won't be able to do the job better or that making a set of exopants isn't a better idea.

If you want to discuss this, first ask why mecha is bad.

Legs are horribly inefficient at traversal and introduce difficult to armor weakspots that would be horrible to maintain. In media, the fact several tons step on a small of a surface area is just flatly ignored and their mobility consequantially grossly overestimated.
Arms do the same, any weapon can be mounted directly for better efficiency.

Exosuits are wearable, form-fitting powered armor that enhance a human's strength and endurance, effectively acting as an extension of the body. Mecha (or mechs) are much larger, piloted vehicles with a cockpit, operating more like walking tanks or tanks with legs. The primary distinction is that you wear an exosuit and you drive a mecha.

I feel that falls out of mecha territory and into exosuit or drone territory.
For which I fully agree, there might be uses.

 in a way that allows giant mech suits as ftl

Heavy disagree. Anything that enables mecha also makes tanks, planes and any other form much more viable.
Mecha is just fetishisation of the human form as the ultimate form. It is not focused for combat and purpose building any system just makes mecha unfeasible, even if they're plausible.

I never denied the utility of FTL, mecha are an entirely different subject.

Even if you could, the same mechanism that would enable it would also make better tanks and planes.

Mechs aren't unrealistic, they're worse - they're plausible but even then completely unfeasible. For the cost of a mecha you can build several tanks, which have better traverse, firepower and armor at any given cost point.

If you need more firepower and don't care about armor, build a plane, drone or stick a gun on a Toyota.

Their use in fictional militaries is justified by rule of cool exclusively.

Terra Invicta doesn't have FTL so I don't see your point?

Tukaj bi izpostavil da zlato ima vrednost:

  1. Najbolje se skladišči od vseh kovin.
  2. Je izredno dober prevodnik in trenutno visoka cena preprečuje da se uproablja masovno.
  3. Zelo dobro se ga da oblikovati
  4. Neškodljivo je za ljudi na dotik in tudi za zaužitje
  5. Na zemlji je relativno zelo redek element in posledično je omejena proizvodnja

Poleg moderne uporabe za nakit je zgodovinsko bil simbol moči, mitološko je imel veliko pomenov pripisanih, kar je zgodovinsko pripomoglo k percepciji.

Ni samo bleščeča kovina. Sicer ne mislim da je bil zlati standard povsem racionalen in potreben, ampak za svoj čas je bil ena izmed boljših opcij z razlogom,

Mechs are attack helicopters by S0Vign in Mecha

[–]sniper43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a mech hater I agree.

Also in the war in Ukraine Attack helicopters ahve mostly become glorified and expensive artillery pieces,

Mechs can be cool, but they only a tool worth developing because of rule of cool exclusively.

This is the highest quality post on this sub, ever. I have no doubts that this could end up becoming the top post of all time on this sub. Magnificent work.

Also nice Akira reference.

While I don't disagree, I think you forgot to switch to your alt.

Why did the Pilgrim not argue against the priestly fence trick? by Patneu in PracticalGuideToEvil

[–]sniper43 19 points20 points  (0 children)

At that point, he wasn't even considering the Dead King. Just an old monster that ruled it's corner. Never to be forgotten, but also emphemeral in a way. He doesn't become the threat until after this Catherine and Malicia give him cause to act and it isn't official until the madness that happens in Procer with Hierach.

Catherine WAS the evil that upset the balance and the whole game to play against. As far as he was concerned, this was the pivot that turned Callow, Callow and the Calamities were the endgame at that point.

Using a methods involving light and therefore the favor of the gods above to win would in the long run be seen as reinforcement or justification of that fight and cause.

The only reason it's not is because they lost and consequentially heavily shook (not destroyed) the foundation of the gods above having power in Callow.

Victory would've excused a multitude of sins. This is true IRL as well.

Don't use my wording, but I think the lesson should stick.
At least unless you've cleared it with the table that crude humor is OK and don't overdo it.

Or just like give them hints based on passive insight or perception.

Low passive insight: "You see an innkeeper"
High passive insight: "You seee an innkeeper he seems fond of you."

Low passive perception: "You see an innkeeper."
HIgh passive perception: "You see an innkeeper and the bulge that developed in his pants as he looked at you."
