  1. Confuses the feeling of a husk's blessings returning with the urge to pee.
  2. Banned because you couldn't keep that revolting peasant rabble under control.
  3. Honestly, I'm not convinced that there even was a point. Very pizza cutter-shaped.
  4. Boomered. I mean, if you want to play chicken...
  5. What Look, I can only guess what point you're trying to make (and try to give the benefit of the doubt that it's not this), but I'm not going to waste my time and try to respond to something that you might have, but just maybe, intended to imply.
  6. Boomered. ...it seems like we've reached an impassé, old chap.
  7. You're conveniently not addressing the most central point: Considering a week-old fetus to be a human is, frankly, just as asinine as saying that a toddler is not. It's estimated that up to 50% of all feti don't survive the first three weeks after the fertilisation. "Estimated", because most of the time, the parent won't even notice that they've been pregnant. Do you think that this is a tragedy equal to a miscarriage after six or seven months of pregnancy? Do you think that that, in turn, is a tragedy equal to a toddler dying? If so, why isn't the prevention of very early miscarriages the absolute top priority of all medical science, when every second person dies from it? I'm sorry, I 100% do not see how "Every fetus is a human being" is even remotely defensible.
  8. Rather not aspirational, of course, but Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri's faction leaders have a ton of very memorable quotes.
  9. Banned because I just had breakfast and it's a real pain dans l'estomac.
  10. Banned for not quoting YGOTAS with a voice that knows kung-fu.
  11. (I believe I read that the "fan made" Aloy was actually done by somebody in order to mock people like this, which would be more evidence that shitposting is actually dead) But yeah, stuff like this is why I refuse to call myself a "gamer".
  12. Yeah, the fun part about smug antagonists is to watch forward to their (hopeful) fall, so it's a shame that we didn't get that with Ludveck. There's still a "perma-stubble and buzzcut" standard for male protagonists in more action-oriented games. Much more narrow, since there's at least different iterations of "hot and young", but definitely less strictly enforced, too. Plus, there's the concurrent archetype of Pretty Anime Boi in other genres, of course.
  13. Banned to the purple realm.
  14. Weirdly went for four words which start with "S".
  15. Silly Rubenio, did you not see his portrait? He looks evil, therefore he is evil. The metaphysics are sound, and simple. Looking at the scene knowing hardly any context, I think I partly disagree...? I'd speculate that most FE lords in a similar situation would show their moral excellence by showing mercy to somebody who (probably) doesn't deserve it. Evil dastards are generally killed in combat, not captured and later executed. I'm thinking of Ludveck (Nasty McEvilface from Radiant Dawn's part 2) as one as the very few antagonists that are captured, and I don't think he was about to be executed, neither before nor after the whole Lucia scene. He just doesn't appear again after part 2 ends. That said, I agree that this scene doesn't make Dimitri look brutal. If anything, it seems to push him into a similar direction as SD!Marth and RD!Elincia (heck, that's why Ludveck sprung to mind) in their "I am a prince before I am a son or brother" (change gender and relation as appropriate) themes. Him being his own executioner just makes the scene more... metal, I guess. More dramatic. Plus, as a Darkest Dungeon enjoyer, I have to bring up Renaud de Chátillon, Crusader and a generally nasty piece of work, who allegedly was beheaded by Saladin himself - and Saladin isn't exactly known to have been a bloodthirsty or even just unreasonable man.
  16. Is secretly doin' heresy (and this is totally not a sneaky edit)
  17. Seems quite confident in his knowledge of song lyrics.
  18. Banned for addressing the previous poster’s post
  19. Has, despite a valiant effort, not made his post 38x as long as the previous one this time.
  20. Used 38x as many characters in his post than his predecessor (counting spaces).
  21. GBA FE caps the number of enemies at 50 and reinforcements won't spawn once that has been reached. So those three are immediately out of the question for this. (and the 54 has to be a counting mistake. The numbers behind your link add up to 34 (including Murdock) but don't seem to include the HM only enemies, which are another 10 wyverns. I don't have a save file of that chapter to check that way, but on FEWod, I count 45 enemies. No guarantees that I didn't miss or double-counted anything, but I'm pretty certain that it's less than 54, or 50 for that matter )
