null Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Finally beat the Mantis Lords. That was a good boss battle. The theme, atmosphere, and fight itself were all great. Took a good number of tries, but I squashed them like bugs finally won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, Age of Calamity does some really stupid stuff at times, but I love it all the more for it. Replace "fun" with enjoyable and I agree. That sounds interchangeable but not every story that is enjoyable is also fun. Case in point: horror movies. This is all subjective tho. Let's just say it's a case by case basis and what determines if a story is "good" depends on a variety of factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 6 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: GC/Wii, DS and PS2 have great emulators as well, but that's where you begin to need a beefier computer to be able to run them properly. Citra is for an even more modern system, so I can't say I'm that surprised. I still don't understand this criticism. My old mid-2012 MacBook was running DS games smoothly last year, a slight hiccup once in a while, but otherwise I didn't notice any issues, no prolonged periods of lag. Sure I mostly ran 2D games, but one of them was a 3D lite Action RPG and another was a fast and very flashy 2D game, though it was a turn-based RPG and not something that demand more resources in more places at once. Running the same emulator on a brand new MacBook last year, things were as unnoticeably stable, and Apple products are usually the butt of jokes. Why was I seemingly lucky? Do my eyes not know the difference between 30 fps and 3? 5 hours ago, Wraith said: But cannibalism that involves eating the dead meat of a human in order to gain said dead person’s memories is definitely out there. Well, if the guy played no role in her death nor wanted it, and he can reasonably assume she would not object to her corpse being consumed, then I don't exactly see the problem. For one, it's not cannibalism then, it's necrophagy, which isn't so immoral. Necrophagy is fine if you're that desperate for food, and if survival depends on having the memories of others via consumption under the same circumstances as the ones stated above, then go ahead. And two, don't forget the Eucharist, that ritual act of ingesting flesh and blood to be closer to the divine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to reset... Sigh. How I look forward to murdering you. EDIT: And now he goes and steals one of my kills. Oh my God I hate this guy... For the record, deaths in the pre-route-split chapters don't matter later from memory. That said... they totally do cripple the unit's levels. Also, I had the same problem with Ryoma the first time I played that chapter. Guy doesn't worry about teamwork. 22 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: 28 minutes ago, Sooks said: 's abs. I don't know enough about her for much else. She has an insane defense growth. Though for an "axe user", her strength is abysmal. Seriously only Benny and Percy have a naturally higher defense base (that is discounting class and parent bonuses for children or Banes and Boons for Corrin), and even so, there's no class with a higher bonus than the Oni Savage/Chieftan set. So Rinkah effectively has 65% growth. Benny and Percy get 75% by nature... though Percy can be higher. Basically, Rinkah's growths means her abs are so rock hard you can bounce arrows off them. Shame you can't use her in Conquest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Dayni said: TIL Necrophagy. If you didn't look up the definition of necrophagy, all it means is that you eat the dead. Now, regarding humans eating humans, necrophagy becomes cannibalism if you intentionally murder someone and then eat them. If you're living through Mao's Great Leap Forward and the total collapse of agricultural output means Grandma and Little Brother die of starvation which is equally affecting you, then consuming them isn't cannibalism. I can understand the revulsion at the idea of having to eat them and how it might feel very sinful, so you don't have to do it. -Thats what I've learned the difference to be. And knowing the difference, a lot of instances in human history where "cannibalism" happened, become one degree less nightmarish (but they're still nightmares in the sense that things were so bad people had to consume corpses). It is less terrible, because it means human morality in the worst of circumstances still did not collapse into lawlessness where murder was acceptable, which the word "cannibalism" implies. Humans to the very ends of what is bearable in life maintained the basic decency and civility that makes them human. 18 minutes ago, Dayni said: Should I call Transsubstantiation a sort of necrophagy? I didn't exactly mean to call it that.😅 And the fact that Christ was reborn three days later and only died in the flesh which existed for about thirty years and was preceded by a literal Eternity of existing as part of the Trinity that is uncreated and removed from the concept of time, undermines the premise The Son is well and truly dead. Although, nobody is truly dead then due to the existence of immortal souls. So death has to be redefined as "physically gone from this world to Hell/Heaven/Purgatory/Limbo", in which case, maybe Transubstantiation is necrophagy. But, as a disclaimer, I am no Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, and perhaps Uniate, Maronite, and or Coptic priest or theologian in any way whatsoever. Consult one of those if you want a definitive answer on this question.⛪ Edited January 6, 2021 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlames Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 So, I wake up from a cold/fever-induced sleep and see Conquest-talk as well as people talking about the logistics and history of eating human corpses.
