Acacia Sgt Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 3 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Wait, hold up a moment-- There's a tidbit of today's character reveal I missed. Fogato is Timerra's younger brother. ...The fuck? How old is Timerra? She looks 18 at most. Secret 26 year old? Is this going to be the greatest anime game ever made, where the tropes are truly subverted? Are we going to get a 2 year old dragon that looks 97? Ah who am I kidding, the truth is more likely to be that he is 12. I mean, it doesn't even need to be an anime thing. Some people are just shorter/taller than average. Behavior isn't always a measurement of age. There are many cases where the younger sibling is the taller one (can vouch for that with my own younger brother). Etc.

Saint Rubenio Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Just now, Imperator Squilla said: The Engage design discussions are as bad as Edelgard discourse and the game ain't even out yet. From "Hidaki better" to "Generic" to "Too anime" to "Sexualization" to "pedo bait" you got it all. Okay but like, let me dislike the designs dammit, what did I ever do to you I guess I'm lucky I don't really go into any FE communities outside of Serenes, then. However, I stand by what I said, and I'll repeat it: Reading the Engage threads we got going here at Serenes, they are all civil. I do not deny that what you describe is going on outside, but I don't see it here. Besides, I literally said this myself in the part of my earlier post that you went out of your way not to quote lol ...I must say though, even I don't see the pedo bait here. The artstyle makes everyone look younger than they're probably intended to be on average, but the more overtly sexualized characters all look distinctly more mature. Which, given the track record of this series, is pretty nice. Heck, is this Three Houses fans whining about it? Three Houses had Sothis, for crying out loud, they've no right to complain if they were defending that. Just now, Acacia Sgt said: I mean, it doesn't even need to be an anime thing.

Though it's funny you bring up behavior, because Fogato's bio claims since he's not the heir to the crown, he's more carefree and easy-going than Timerra. Kinda goes against your argument there hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpy -Limited Edition- Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I mean, when it comes to behavior, i am the oldest brother, yet people generally see me as pretty chill and easy going ALTHOUGH I was seen as too serious when i was younger lol. Will never forget a certain situation. A friend of mine asked me: "Why are you always so serious? Fun where?" A few years later, same friend: "Man that Shrimpy never takes anything seriously" lmao Somewhere down the line i stopped giving a fuck or something 5 minutes ago, Green06 said: This was not even about FE btw, but something completely unrelated  Falcom isn't it.

Punished Dayni Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Just now, Edelguardiansing said: I hear it's the Taoiseach that does most of the work across the country which makes me wonder what the President actually does. Let's cover the main tasks. Alright, so An Taoiseach is the equivalent of a PM here. As head of government in a bicameral system where chances are you have the majority in both houses, you can obviously point out the power that has. (We're in an exceptional period here where who is Taoiseach will change in the middle of a term in a few weeks between parties for the first time.) But when it comes to legislation, you of course have a process, from drafting, reading through and voting across both houses of parliament. The President (An Uachtarán) comes into this story after a bill has been approved by both houses. They take a read through it, assess it's constitutionality (which while you'd think all bills would deal with that, obviously sometimes that doesn't happen) and approves or rejects said bill on that basis. If it's approved, that's now law. If not, it has to go to the supreme court here to go over and can end up sent back to have revisions or be struck down if they really are fucking around. There's also the power vested in the office to approve the appointment of said Taoiseach, cabinet and judges (Sounds familiar eh?) and having the power to dissolve the Dáil and call for elections. Usually those happen pretty normally, at start or end of terms/Taoiseachs and go by as you'd expect them to. Note that just because they are expected to doesn't mean they have to approve it, though this hasn't happened and I doubt will unless something smelly and brown hit the fan. Closest it came was in the 80's where the then president resisted calls to refuse dissolving the Dáil from opposition (for some context, the party he was part of were in opposition and asking him to refuse to dissolve it, aiming to form a government themselves with the numbers they had). The president here is also considered head of the defence forces here, which is a pretty formal position that doesn't result in much of any actual commanding but unless you're in active conflict or using it for concerning reasons that's generally the case anyway. And of course as a head of state he's a representative of the state, visiting and receiving people, but that's kinda obvious. I do say he a couple of times here, which is accurate right now. Course if his successor isn't change pronouns here as appropriate. 2 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Fogato is Timerra's younger brother. ...The fuck? How old is Timerra? She looks 18 at most.

Shrimpy -Limited Edition- Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) To return to the work rant for a bit: The thing that fucks me the most is that i have to sleep when i am most energetic. I usually finsh work 17-18, and after it i am dead tired, as i am during most of the workday anyway. I start to wake up a bit before midnight...where i need to sleep so i can wake up to morning torture again. It's close to 1 am now and i feel more energetic than the whole of the day, yet i gotta wake up in ~6.5 hours.
