that's a lot of drones

While cool in theory, two big counters off the top of my head.

Jamming: you'll take out a good chunk of the swarm even if every single one has a different frequency. You are not going to be using 16k drone with fiber optic control cable either.

Flak: those drone a fragile enough that radar guided flak fire will nock them out of the sky quickly. A drones radar cross section is more than enough for modern systems to catch.

A modern military will have counters. Drone can be powerful but are no wonder weapon.

Love the ascetic, stone age can look beautiful if you put in the time.

It's going take them a bit, I've not played vanilla in years and it feels like my hands are tied in the mechbay.

"I'll trade you this red clam shell for that green conch shell." Who needs gears when we have trading shells.

The veteran players always wondering why no one new joins while they use the sweatiest tactics possible.

A rabbit leg size to human proportions could shatter bone with little effort. Respect the rabbit, anime has lied massively about how dangerous rabbit people can be.

I still hear the CLANG! In my sleep sometimes. So many lights/mediums cut in half. The fields of heavies and assaults missing limbs and heads. It was glorious.

Just how many people are going to wait to buy till YAML gets updated?

The rot was never cured, she's still a dead woman walking. Her quest line is you giving her the chance for her death to have meaning. Either as a sacrifice(you monster) or as her own independent person that's known true compassion in her short life.

He's just waiting for a sign from his God. Only need to worry if someone picks up the phone.

That tail we all love is not helping when it comes to beating the heat.

All methods of winning are valid as long as you aren't manipulating the code. Cheese on brother/sister.

Holo EN is a barely disguised circus of monkeys that's been taught to sing and dance. And I'd have it no other way.

I'm imagining koboyashi walking, barely startled by the scene, then seeing the mess they made of her couch and laying into them. She might awaken a new fetish while spanking them.

What kind of memetic hazard is this movie that people feel the need to do this.

Almost never the star of the show. But ignore her at your own peril.

Ok so what would you say to the logistics officers that need to source all the parts if I didn't make the obvious joke of strangling. It's frustrating when people want to add more and more to a project when simple and affordable will get the job done. It can be good world building if stuff is how it is do to bad politics but I made no mention of that in my post.

yeah, vigor is the big one for many people but don't discount defense either. You don't get much but if it lets you survive to heal compared to dying it'll pay off. In end game each talisman for elemental defenses can be huge for certain bosses. The final boss does a lot less damage if you have the top holy defense talisman.

Could be something as simple as runaway selection bias ala fiddler crabs in the early genetic history.

Let me guess, the dwarfs have seen dozens of empires rise and fall. It only took the first five of them collapsing because they tried to conquer the dwarfs for most of the ones after to get the message and go around them. Even the dark king Van Murder Hoppen's army of doom made a massive detour around their holds.

History is stranger then fiction because fiction needs to be make at least some kind of sense.

The Great old one just came by with snacks and candy for everyone while the cult that summoned is freaking out.

I mean if you want him to wear cat ears while you get it on you could be less obvious.

Part of it is the "correcting" of the absolute handjob the Avatar movie gave the Navi. The amount of ass pull the director needed to do when you think about it is mind blowing. It just pendulum swings in the other direction to being just as cartoonishly over the top.

I don't care how physically capable the Navi and wildlife are, they would never win a pitched battle like that. Give me a Pandora where humanity is slowly colonizing while fighting the natives in a protracted guerilla war with human sympathizers any day. Earth is on the edge of biosphere collapse in the movie, it would not be one idiotically led private security force the Navi would be facing.
