    Why So Many Crave Hard Magic

    I was more thinking in terms of narrative implications, rather than implications on the magic systen. There are connections, of course, especially when cool stuff is introduced and every other character actually uses it, so we can assume it's a fairly basic ability in whatever few rules the...

    Why So Many Crave Hard Magic

    To me, it's generally about internal consistency, both regarding the magic system and the implications on the story. And soft magic systems always run the risk of introducing stuff (that was supposedly always there), without taking into account what implications that may have on previous...

    Except that it's very blurry, in that a Republic can also be understood as one way a democracy can be set up.

    I need to test and discuss this new writing method

    Hard to tell (which should be an option in the poll), for a proper analysis you'd need at least two texts of comparable length, half of them set up like this and half without the bold letters, and time a bunch of people on how long each text takes them. Maybe even randomize which texts are...

    -I've already seen an Arifureta, which is a good fit. A White Spider-Incident might also work, especially if it's a reincarnation scenario and not just transmigration (So I'm a spider so what). -Saimin (Hypnosis)? Or risk your sanity by diving through a hentai site for something with that kind...

    Intelligence vs wisdom

    Strength is being able to crush a tomato. Dexterity is being able to dodge a tomato. Constitution is being able to eat a bad tomato. Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad.

    Your thoughts on the live action adaptation of One Piece

    From what I've heard this had to be changed because they wouldn't have been allowed to shoot with the sandals, but it's fairly minor to me. Both of these are things that could have been kept truer with close to no effort, especially the Alvida scene. For the departure with the Marines saluting...
