If they weren't so determined to wank to Solars being the best at everything, you could get some of the way while maintaining some of the intentional tiering by having some more supported character types at Dragonblood tier and getting all the celestial-types to materially the same power level. Whi...

It is genuinely true that DC's batting average on the small screen has been much better than Marvel's, and the reverse has been true on the large screen. Arrowverse got fucking Kevin Conroy to be old Bruce Wayne and DCEU got Ben Afleck to shout about Martha. It's actually profoundly weird how much ...

Yeah, I think the bluntest way to put it is that it's all of the bad parts of the alignment system and paladin strictures ported over to a game about playing a fucking vampire. The mind reels. Well no, Paladin strictures are much better. Paladin strictures are at least a result of getting your magi...

DS9 had continuity between episodes, something other Star Treks mostly lacked. That enabled better character development and even had a recurring villains and anti-heroes that could be around for more than a single episode. Those tend to be the bones behind why DS9 was my favorite. Same here, but t...

. We know that people who are unqualified actually do the things they shouldn't do if they're permitted to do so because that's the world we used to live in. That's historical fact. Used to?

Killing animals and plants to eat might constitute violence in the strictest sense of the word, but we're not talking about violence against animals or plants (except as they relate to human beings) - we're talking about violence on human beings and their property by human beings. Of course, killin...

But notice how, in your world-view, your utopia, you would mandate compassion and charity, thereby destroying both and undermining your own ideal, as the only way to secure something by law is the use of force, violence, coercion. You would compel people to love with guns. And rather than just allo...

Re: Balancing 4+ PC's vs 1 Boss Fight in D&D, tech attacks
The action economy imbalance seems like it can be solved with having more AoE's baked into the system. This solves the boss's offenses. If a level-appropriate equal-numbers monster does N damage to one character, then a level-appropriate solo monster needs to deal N damage to four characters. But f...

Speaking of the Soulstone, they spent some time telling the audience that Black Widow was totally sincerely and for reals dead with no way to bring her back because of the Soulstone sacrifice. But also too the only other person killed by that means is Gamora , who they brought back in this exact mo...

I guess the time branch thing is technically coherent, maybe... although why would going back to give Dormamu the time stone give the same Dormamu a time stone, rather than now resulting in another sub branch, one where they borrowed the time stone and never returned, and one where they borrowed th...

The thing about mysteries is that there isn't one mystery genre. There are many sub-genres that overlap. You've got the classical mystery genre like Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes. The thing about these mysteries is that their protagonists are, from an objective standpoint, terrible investigato...

I just binge watched The Boys. It's better than it had any right to be. The comic suffered from Garth Ennis trying to be memetic Garth Ennis (out Preacher Preacher, in his words) and not having anyone to really reign him in, as well as mostly sticking to the premise that superheroes are useless and ...
