I can't really argue in favour of Nanoha since I haven't read/seen all the Nanoha stuff. I will however argue against this weirdass conclusion that Fate is somehow light speed. In my opinion, you're basing all of this on a translation of FGO from that one fight against Dioscuri. Not only is it questionable considering it could be a liberal translation (could you bring up the Japanese text for this btw?) but it would be such a massive goddamn outlier compared to the rest of canon that it just doesn't make sense. To argue this, I will be limiting myself to works written directly by Kinoko Nasu (as opposed to things like FGO descriptions/scenes and the manga adaptations). This is because Fate has dozens of writers whom contradict each other. It makes sense then to take the main and original writer as the highest source of canon and others as as secondary (as per OBD rules). Some arguments: The parameter system: The parameter stats representing stats in Fate has been set in stone...

Yeah, but you want the tone of the OBD. It's not the same otherwise.

Just the prompt. Imagine having a backup of the entire OBD history to train an AI though.

Just gonna drop this here because the OBD AI is looking good.

To me, and that's purely how I perceive the rules, making a save doesn't mean you dodged. It means you got hit in a way that wasn't as damaging as a full on hit. It's why there are feats and class features like evasion that allow you to completely negate an attack on save. Even so. remember it's a save. Ergo, there is a realistic chance of you failing. The rules are clear that a roll should only occur if there is a chance of failure. I would therefore say that spells having a possible saving throw and rogues having a class feature to lower the damage to zero on save does not mean a rogue can reliably dodge lightning and explosions. There is still a very major chance of failure. In the example I posted above, at max stats, a rogue has a 20% chance of saving. That means 8/10 times, Vax would get hit by a lightning bolt. Him dodging lightning is the exception, not the rule.

Feels like you're embellishing here. Necrotic is not really soulfucking. It's described as the antithesis of life. Kinda like doing damage through your cells magically dying. Necrotic used to be called negative energy, which makes the whole "heal undead" thing way more logical. Holy damage is nice, but even in universe it doesn't poof undead. It just deals extra damage and stops regeneration effects. Another correction I need to make is that making a save against a spell isn't the same as dodging it. You either resist the effect or are able to react to it in such a way as to lower the damage. It's mostly seen as the equivalent of dodge rolling and still getting hit. Like: you see the caster perform the spell and you can react fast enough to aim dodge the trajectory, but not completely. All the spells you mentioned - lightning bolt, call lightning, fire ball and meteor swarm - are save for half damage spells. So you don't dodge them. Rather you get hit in a way that you take less...

Imagine needing tips to make ends meet and getting some delicious potassium.

Please no. When they do that, you get NuWars.

Martials in DnD 5E are kinda... lackluster. I mean, assuming we use the old rule that 10 is average for a person, having max stats doesn't scale you as far as you'd think. The rules surrounding strength state that: So we can extrapolate that a 20 strength character can lift about 300 to 350 pounds at max. Not to brag but my deadlift is higher. They can perform, I believe, three attacks a round. Since a round is six seconds and we count taking 30 feet movement as part of a turn (let's assume half your turn), that means one attack per second. That's kinda fast for a normal person, but compared to shounen shit... The numbers are looking poor.

Honestly, as long as the language has strong typing I don't mind it. More and more languages are starting to look the same barring shit like Rust. I however loathe weak typed languages. TS has done a lot to salvage JS but it's still pretty common to look at concepts and be like: why did you do this? I still hate the concept of truthy and falsy for instance.

Of all time is hard. Most hilarious game though? TPM on PS1.

Since there's no TV forum, this will have to do. Typing this while the anger is fresh. Spoilers obviously. So the first two episodes have been an absolute shitshow. Between Reva being a diversity hire mary sue, Kid Leia being literally some psychology major dropout's TOO SMART FOR YOU...

I legit ragequit it on stream halfway through. Bethesda sent it to me to review and I played it for 3 hours one stream, then next stream I played it an hour, then spent 30 minutes sandbagging it for the design decisions and then I switched mid-stream to Elden Ring.
