fwiw, Twitter actually has a disclaimer under the video saying it doesn't look like white phosphorus.

Unfortunately those disclaimers are about as accurate as x itself is nowadays which is to say not overly trustworthy.

While I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Israel used white phosphorus? I'll wait for better reporting.

Hamas' end goal is to provoke Israel into a massive attack and further brutalising of the Palestinian people. Nothing better for recruitment and spread of anti-Semitism than provoking a huge response.

The only way you're going to get extremists to lose power is for the oppressed people to no longer be oppressed. As long as Palestinians are under apartheid it's just going to keep creating more extremists.

I imagine those green countries it's legal not necessarily for siblings and parents but rather cousins.

Would be helpful to have a definition of incest for the purposes of that map.

Yes, QD-OLED is better, but it's more expensive than regular OLED's and early testing has shown that it's even more susceptible to burn-in. So seems like it's better to wait on moving to those new QD-OLED TVs.

Do note, rtings themselves pointed out that they have a very small sample size for their QD-OLED burn in testing so it's potentially not accurate. It's why they were careful to say that it SEEMS to be more susceptible to burn-in rather than saying that it is more susceptible to burn-in.

Yeah, Ulfric and the Stormcloaks are stated to be an asset to the Thalmor. They want the civil war to continue.

If I recall he WAS an asset, wasn't any more. They explicitly want an eternal civil war which very much goes against what Ulfric is wanting. The Empire winning or the Stormcloaks winning? Both are worst case scenarios for the Thalmor.

Azardea posted...

The Stormcloaks alone can't stand against the Aldmeri, they need to be a part of the Empire to stand a chance.

I mean, they really don't. Skyrim is stupidly defensible. The only reason the Empire can attack Skyrim is because they already have a huge foothold and control of the major port.

Again, it depends entirely on the type of heating system you have.

Personally I have small heaters attached to the walls in each room, you vacuum inside them to get dust away from the coil that heats up.

My parents had a furnace system that was well sealed and didn't get the burning dust smell each year so we didn't need to do anything beyond sealing the vents each spring.

So yeah, learn how to do proper basic maintenance on whatever sort of heating system you have and you will likely have minimal to no burning dust smell.

Depends on the kind of heating system you have but that smell is burning dust, if you vacuum the part that heats up you largely eliminate the dust burning smell.

You don't vacuum that shit before turning them on for the first time in the year?

Why are we pretending that junction system is complicated?

Because apparently some people needed to use a guide to bust the junction system and they really want us to think that it's because the system is supposedly complicated.

Sufferedphoneix posted...

For it to break the game it requires a knowledge of the system. Without a guide you ain't breaking it on a first playhthrough.

It really doesn't, it takes just understanding how stats work and playing some triple triad. Maybe YOU needed a guide to bust the junction system but not everybody did.

FF7 materia can break the game a lot

Others already shot down your other points so I'll focus on this.

Yes, the FFVII materia system can break the game a lot, but nowhere near what the junction system can and the materia system can't break the system until you're quite a ways into the game while the junction system can break the game right from the start.

Depends entirely on the models you're looking at.

majin_nemesis posted...

other things in other FFs break the game and you don't have a problem with it,also it only breaks the game if you break the game

also it doesn't discourage magic use at all

does having limited ammo in RE or other shooting games discourage you from shooting weapons?

If in games with ammo every shot you took lowered your stats but meanwhile if you never shot your melee attacks did tons of damage? Yes, it would actively discourage you from using ammo, this seems obvious.

Also, no other Final Fantasy let's you break the game as hard as the junction system system does. Not even the blood sword in Final Fantasy II is as busted and it's pretty busted.

Also I get that if I can handicap myself but "The system is great if you don't use it effectively!" is not as good of an argument as you seem to think it is.

I would not adopt a faith, I'm an atheist and would not pretend otherwise. There was ONE person I pretended for, my grandmother, and she passed away almost 15 years ago.

They say that caste discrimination is already covered by existing laws, but it was clearly an issue if an entirely separate bill had to be created to address it.

I don't know if it's an issue or not there but this logic is super flawed. Completely pointless bills get made all the time for political narrative reasons.

majin_nemesis posted...

and there's nothing bad about it,it's pretty cool and fun

No, it's bad. It completely breaks the game and actively discourages magic use.

majin_nemesis posted...

i don't get how people couldn't understand it, it's quite simple really, just put the spells where they raise the stats the most that's all there is to it

It's because people understood it just fine, it was just a bad system.

I understood the junction system well enough to completely break the game, it is a terrible system that actively discourages magic use since those spells are usually better off junctioned to your stats than being cast.

It is one, it just probably shouldn't be counted as it will inherently get way more use than any console should you not be essentially an exclusive console gamer.

Eh, not many PC gamers refer to their keyboard and mouse as a controller, in fact you're the first I've seen.

It's a set of controls but it's not a controller. A controller tends to refer to a gamepad.

I was going to choose Dualsense until I saw you classify Keyboard and Mouse as a controller which is odd but whatever.

Silver Age Superman is quite literally the most "pulling crap out of their rear" for superpowers in the entirety of all of the medium.

At this point I have to ask: are you this utterly oblivious or are you making a joke?

Funny you're insulting my intelligence when it's clear that my whole point in bringing him up went right over your head.

You had said "I take it you've never heard of superheroes before." which kinda implies that it wouldn't matter if he can do different things with his webbing because other super heroes do that. I used Silver Age Superman expressly as an example of a super hero who pulls powers of his ass all the time and said there's a reason we don't have super heroes like that any more. If Spider-Man would just pull electric webbing out of his ass or fire resistant webbing or impact webbing or any of the other webbings he's made all out of nowhere with his organic webbing then it would be completely idiotic. Artificial webbing bypasses this problem since he can always modify his web shooters and webbing formula.

Now do you understand why I brought up Silver Age Superman? Or do you need it spelled out even more simply?

dave_is_slick posted...

He could make BANK with it and never have to worry about being broke ever again, making his personal life a hell of a lot easier. But he doesn't because reasons. Organic webbing bypasses that stupidity.

That's not clunky writing, it's just bad writing. If you ask me the writers should instead of having people turn down buying the webbing for a stupid reason they should instead have had Pete completely write off the idea of selling webbing since it would be a huge risk of exposing his secret identity.

ellis123 posted...

I take it you've never heard of superheroes before.

Considering the insane variations of webbing Pete has made over the years? I'm sorry but it would require all new power sets being added to him to produce them with just his body. Maybe you would like a Super Hero who pulls powers out of their ass all the time to deal with niche situations but me? I think characters like Silver Age Superman don't really exist any more for a reason.

DavidZ2844 posted...

I always preferred organic web powers rather than the mechanically constructed web shooters.

I grew up with the Tobey movies, so it was a huge surprise to me later on when I found out that mechanical web shooters were both the original and most popular design choice for Spider-Man, the one thats used the most in stories.

Id rather it all just be part of his powers that he got from the spider bite, its clunky storytelling otherwise.

How is it clunky story telling?

Not to mention, having them be a mechanical device allows for far more versatility and shows off his intelligence as well. Pete has come up with so many different variations on his webbing over the years and that wouldn't make any real sense with organic webbing.

Various Spider-man comics encourage you to wish Spider-man would retire?

Hint, he's never going to retire, kinda the point.

This is Marvel we're talking about not DC, the characters are supposed to be flawed and this is one of Petes flaws.

Those guys are terrible businessmen. The only thing better than an amazing product that works forever is one that you have to reapply every five minutes for a fee.

I mean, a super strong adhesive that only sticks around for a short time? Has ENORMOUS potential use cases in construction alone let alone in other industries.

Pete realistically would become absolutely filthy rich off inventing such an adhesive.

If I recall in one of the most unbelievable storylines ever? Pete did try to sell the webbing formula or something once when he was broke and nobody wanted to buy it because it decayed after a couple hours.

And yes, found some panels.

I mean, a super strong adhesive that only lasts a short while before dissolving away and leaving behind no residue? Holy crap would that make bank!

This is why Tobey Maguire version with natural powers is the best. Turbo genius Spider-man that invented web fluid is outright spending his time suboptimally by chasing petty purse snatchers instead of reinventing the global supply chain.

That's just it, it's a plot point in various comics that Peter Parker is a super genius who could have been the next Reed Richards but instead is a bundle of wasted potential because of the sense of responsibility he has that causes him to be Spider-Man.

The same reason people do stupid shit usually nowadays, clout chasing.

I'm so used to calling him Mike Pillow that I almost didn't realize who TC was talking about in the topic title.

It's alright to be in denial. You're still wrong, though.

No, not in denial, just been a fan of Dragon Ball since the show originally aired in North America. Bulma is absolutely critical to the plot and the fact that you think she isn't just makes me think you haven't actually read or watched the original Dragon Ball.

No clue who this Max guy is but Squenix made the right decision already, Kate Sihth.

Incredible posted...

@Enclave And tricked Goku into helping him collect the Dragon Balls like Bulma did. There would have been a grand adventure, Goku would have met Roshi and the rest of his friends.

Useless and not needed to start anything, yes.

I REALLY doubt Pilaf would have tricked Goku into helping him.

When I was in my teens I was, was in a few tournaments and typically placed in the top 3. The one I did the best at was a Mortal Kombat 3 tournament nearly won that one, would have won a Playstation if I had.

Only wish there was a Bloody Roar tournament, I was entirely too good at that game.

Multiple reviews call the franchise ruined and are upset (freed slave) Annette has the most screen time. My favorite is multiple reviews that call it Wokelevania, the most contorted inclusion of the word woke Ive ever seen. The show constantly beats you over the head with current day talking points another review says.

Still happened because other people would have been looking for the Dragon Balls and come for Goku's ball, prompting him to leave the mountains in search of the balls.

Pilaf would have eventually showed up, Goku would have kicked his ass and that would have been the end of it until the Red Ribbon Army showed up at Gokus house and probably killed him.

There would have been no grand adventure, no meeting Roshi, no meeting any of his friends.

Bulma is absolutely critical to actually start Goku on his journey.

Scotty clearly hates Bulma but I'll say this. While Bulma's non-combat feats are far more impressive than Namis non-combat feats? I would argue that for the purposes of the story? It's pretty much a wash. Without Bulma Dragon Ball would have never happened and without Nami Luffy would have probably never gotten to the Grand Line and most likely sunk the Going Merry by accident and would probably have drowned to death super early on.

Nami vs Chi-Chi is absolutely much more of an interesting fight to discuss.

The only real problem with it is that we don't really know how strong Chi-Chi is any more.

She should have gone on with the show as planned but then decided to let the union bullies win.

The term is union thugs and it's not a derogatory term, quite the opposite actually.
