| ShatteredElysium 05/13/19 5:36:03 PM #128 | Like I'm one of the people who has disliked Dany for a long time but her brother absolutely deserved to die. Really the argument should be that that was one of the first times she saw punishment meted out and set the tone for what was a just punishment whereas most people would see it as cruel and unusual. Kinda similar to how Joffrey got away with awful punishments because nobody stopped him, Dany had a difficult scale of acceptable punishment ingrained into her at a young age. So what we view as fair and just does not mesh up with what she views as fair and just |

| ShatteredElysium 05/13/19 5:01:10 PM #103 | I think what people need to remember is that Daenerys is still only in her very early 20s with all of her character building years being when she is young. Given what she has gone through during those years coupled with her age and not knowing any different, it's very easy to see why she snapped. Yeah not great if you are a fan of her but it's pretty understandable. I think she is supposed to be maybe what? 23? In the books shes younger than that too |

PerfectChaosZ posted...Maybe a big glob of fire hits like a boulder but a constant stream is more like a blowtorch The one that always gets me with dragon fire is that there has to be a limit to what one dragon can produce over a set period of time right? And the sheer amount of fire Drogon producer in this fight seemed to be way I'm excess of what just 1 dragon of his size should be able to produce. I mean of course it can be hand waved away because we are dealing with dragons and magic. It's just something that always makes me think. |

| ShatteredElysium 05/13/19 11:09:57 AM #10 | The only person in the show who had committed more war crimes than Daenerys was Ramsey. She was 2 behind him as of April 10th. I am fairly certain that she tied or surpassed him as of this week. That's not my definition of war crimes that's per the Red Cross. |

| ShatteredElysium 05/13/19 9:13:41 AM #43 | ScareChan posted... I get that but its also counter productive. Take last year's Nuggets for example. They missed the playoffs by one game, were a 2 seed this year. They would have crushed a lottery tournament For the record I'd have been fine with this. They always say the worst place to be in the NBA is in the middle where you are not good enough to compete but not bad enough to get the high lotto picks. I'd much rather those high lotto picks go to teams actively trying to win rather than those who aren't trying to win. I mean really the Nuggets should be rewarded for always trying to win (36 > 30 > 33 > 40 > 46 > 54 wins) when compared to the 76ers who actively tried to lose over that same period. If the 76ers actually tried in those years they probably end up with win totals in the high 20s low 30s so why should they be rewarded for not trying? It's not like I'm a fan of a team who would benefit from this either. Orlando was always a high lotto team from being bad rather than actively tanking. Get better by winning not through a charity culture that encourages a losing mentality. Because then you get teams like Orlando who even when they do get good players, they struggle to step up because the locker room mentality is so ingrained with losing that it infects the lotto picks and they never learn to play hard and win because losing is seen as acceptable. I feel it's far more counter productive to reward losing than winning. |

| ShatteredElysium 05/13/19 8:54:42 AM #479 | The only real problem I have with this ending is that Jaime's character just seems a mess. They did all his character development over the seasons only to go back on it. I was one of the people fine with the Brienne part but that now looks stupid and unnecessary after what happened in this episode. The Euron stuff looks a little silly and forced both in this episode and the last. Daenerys losing a dragon to him last week, they could have done that so much better by having it happen this week in this battle. I didn't like that Cersei died that way either. It doesn't seem like a fitting end for someone who has been so antagonistic. I don't understand why they couldn't have Daenerys burn the tower she was in, like that should have been one of her first thoughts when torching everything and she had to know where she would be. Everything else I'm kinda ok with. The Daenerys stuff is fine, the seeds have been there a long time and it's only them rushing this last season that makes it look rushed. When you take everything as a whole compared to her previous behavior, it makes sense. And I'd imagine where this is heading is that Jon will have to kill her. Possibly Arya but Jon makes more sense I think. Sad to see the Hound die who was my favorite character but was a fitting end to his arc. |

I mean in fairness the writers did the previous dragons dirty by them being so easily killed when they made a point to say previously a dragon being shot down by something was a ridiculously long chance (1 in a million I think they said) |

ShatteredElysium posted...I'd be perfectly fine with flat odds across the board for lotto teams so at least bad teams don't have a reason to lose Will be harder to acquire those darts if odds are flat across the board. Nobody is given up a lotto pick without massive protections if the odds are flat. So you would be limited to just the one dart that is the same whether you are 15-77 or like 40-42. So may as well play to win |

| ShatteredElysium 05/12/19 9:35:22 PM #19 | Tanking is an issue for me because you should never ever incentivize losing. I don't care how shit your team is, you shouldn't ever be trying to lose more than win. You know what happens if you are shit in European sports? There's negative consequences. In American sports they reward you and it's a joke |

It doesn't excuse the behavior at all but I totally get why people do it. I mean it's why relationships have that 'honeymoon' period where everything is fantastic. It's the newness. There's a very different dynamic in a longterm relationship compared to when you first start talking to someone. Even if it's only talking and very mild flirting. Like how many texts/pms/whatever do you send when you're newly flirting or dating with someone? Compared to how little you text when you're in a long term relationship. The difference is huge. I mean what this Projared dude has done is on another level but I can see where the behavior is rooted. Especially when he essentially has a position of power. It's like groupies with bands and the such. Again doesn't excuse it and obviously deserves to go down for this shit. |

| Topic | Tales of Berseria Question |
| ShatteredElysium 05/09/19 6:59:19 PM #1 | So I'm playing through the game and not using a guide to avoid spoilers. I've just done the part with Lothringen - Tower of the Exorcists. I noticed there was an extra dungeon (maybe?) and the ability to get back to Vortingern. Against my better judgment I reported back to Reneed instead of exploring figuring I could come back straight after or that would possibly be where it directed me next but it seems like it won't let me back there now and is forcing me to head to Yseult. Did I miss out on anything? Like I assume it will let me back there later but is there anything I missed by not going there now even if it's just story / cutscenes? Or would it not have let me go that way if I tried anyway? |
| Topic | Game of Thrones Season 8: Topic 3 (Spoilers) |
| ShatteredElysium 05/09/19 12:47:01 PM #217 | Well the other thing is you have to remain alive for the unborn child to live. Given how Cersei treats captives, she might not believe that anybody would treat her decently as a captive. And I'm not a parent myself so I don't know but I assume you have greater attachment to a child once its born But really she's in too deep now. She isn't giving up power for anything. She has already lost everything so there's nothing you can put on the line that would make her change that at this point. She may also firmly believe she's going to win and why wouldn't she? |

| Topic | Game of Thrones Season 8: Topic 3 (Spoilers) |
| ShatteredElysium 05/06/19 3:27:42 PM #44 | Because she does some pretty shitty things where if anyone else did them, they would be vilified for it but she gets away with it and doesn't even acknowledge they are shitty things to do. Her motivation of being the rightful heir also gets on my tits because it's set in a culture where killing someone and taking their stuff is totally fair game, as it was in the medieval times. So her claim means nothing to me, especially because her family lost the throne through being batshit crazy. It would be one thing if her family was usurped whilst doing a great job of ruling but they weren't and she doesn't even acknowledge that. I mean yeah she may have an interesting character/story arc but I feel she has been portrayed, or at least accepted by fans, to be far better than she actual is. Her going mad queen would redeem her for me, her not going down that route would be a downer for me |

| Topic | Langrisser Mobile Topic Again |
| ShatteredElysium 05/02/19 7:15:03 PM #247 | Weapons are the biggest game changer because they are the biggest source of ATK/INT which is the most important stat to basically every non-tank except for a few exceptions that run off MDEF. The other source being accessories which are even harder to get The other reason is that the weapon dragon rolls around less frequently than the others. Some weapons are also massive gamechangers for certain characters (typically archers) whereas that doesn't apply as much with armor/helmets |
