when you reach platonism talk in powerscaling it's just people using philosophy to explain who's stronger

I've always had the mentality of "I'll simply discuss and explain things logically, if people still choose to be irrational after I've presented valid points, it's not my concern"

ive long held that anything above "they can destroy the galaxy" is functionally meaningless story wise and any time people try to scale somebody past "can destroy a universe" it's basically just like. why though. it doesn't even make sense at that point.

Like, this argument is wrong even if you thought Xeroc was a good character

fading helm
#

like he started as old lore xeroc

wheat walrus
#

imagine Plato and Socrates arguing about powerscaling

cosmic zenith

Of course, my points aren't flawless, and I'm more than open to be convinced with good arguments

I think galaxy and universe-level can work but it's really, really fucking tricky to make it so

you can make a good story be it with like outerwhatever dudes or mountain destroyers

I think the best reason a character may be made like outershit or boundless is cause they’re like the creator of everything

#

Probably mentioned this at some point, but Demon Slayer has pretty low powerscaling as far as anime goes, and it's still really fucking good, especially in the action department (where you'd expect power to matter most)

fading helm
#

because it dont make sense

spring helm
manic coral
#

there are a lot of really stupid dragon ball fans out there

hot valve
#

I think powerscaling works really well for worldbuilding and can show a character's growth over the story

spring helm

is it?

my favorite anime are the ones where the character are gay and sad

jojo isnt sad enough

its pretty gay though

wheat walrus

People say it's mid just because they either don't entirely understand its story beats, or because they judge its story for not being super unorthodox

it can be sad

not an anime but cheese have you played VA-11 Hall-a

robust osprey

One Piece's powerscaling matter in the sense that Oda had to make sure that the Marine has enough power to fight against the pirates, which is achieved by exactly making the Marine have a vastly superior power than any individual pirate crew in the world.

But at the same time, the Marine is not powerful enough to be able to take down the strongest pirates because they'd leave themselves open to an attack by another pirate crew.

cosmic zenith
#

And well, you can have a pretty cliche story that still works really fucking well

Powerscaling matters in this case because it's what sets the way the global powers interact

I think "all-powerful" (more like, magnitudes above the established power scales) beings only work in the following contexts:

  • There's an ages-old tight balance between those forces keeping the universe as it is (really dangerous to write)
  • It serves more symbolic purpose (like Iterators in Rain World)
  • A subversion of their character where, while they're apparently untouchable, they do have flaws or weaknesses that are inherent to their nature or context (also like Iterators)

My favorite take is the latter, because it gives those characters a lot of depth and can be thematically relevant

god that plot point was fucking weird

my favorite one about dragon ball uses before that was bulma using them to age herself down but that's not a headcanon anymore so

my favorite thing might be frieza wanting to be slightly taller but not tall enough to be noticable

like i love how the entirety of super broly happens because frieza is insecure about his height

so obviously untrue

what couldn't be changed is stuff that is implemented in the game, and even then that's not entirely true since stuff like EoL will be rewritten, and also I guess lore items and the information they hold will be spread around different ingame sources and lore items removed; also lore items themselves aren't always hard-canon/truth since Yharim has been seen lying

it doesnt really matter I doubt rebecca said a few weeks meaning like 29 weeks

usually anywhere between 2 to 3 to 4 weeks yea, if it reaches a whole month or more then why say a few weeks instead of a month

split mortar
# indigo glade And how much is a small number.

A not big number

Generally depends on what is being considered when said with few

For weeks I would say more then 7 is too high since months could start being used to describe the time instead and well 7 weeks is a decently long time for going fishing

I was thinking something like a dragon of generosity maybe

faint plank

true

I got thinking of this idea that some domains are "negative" in the sense that they are usually undesirable traits, like greed for example

#

and death would also fit that category

#

that got me thinking of what would the opposite look like, Dragons with inherently "positive" traits, like Life for example

#

the concept of every force having an opposite and positive side leads to there being domain counterparts, and in turn dragon counterparts

#

and then we have Zeratros, with no countepart at all

so even among dragons, Zeratros is an anomaly

pliant ruin
#

Was death chill because people around him drove him away

btw where there any lore drops while i was doing stuff

dusk laurel
#

Grubby?!??!?!?!?

fierce pagoda
#

Oo lala

pliant ruin
#

sad

fierce pagoda
#

Apparently discussing that Zeratros had no counterpart made Cei say that it was implying some stuff hat wasn't intended to be public

#

so i guess that means something

indigo glade
#

Just that Zeratros being able to control darkness is actually not confirmed and that they needed to further discuss that.

pliant ruin
#

dusk laurel
#

Oh okay

#

I was half paying attention to lore discussion earlier, didn't see that

pliant ruin

dusk laurel
#

Are you a fan of yuri the concept or Yuri the character

#

indigo glade
fierce pagoda
#

indigo glade
#

I predate the concept of terrestial fish.

fierce pagoda
#

and kept going

dusk laurel
#

How about that

indigo glade
#

Also wrong.

dusk laurel
#

What are you, a slug?

fierce pagoda

dusk laurel
pliant ruin
#

so you used to be an oyster but now are a entirely unrelated concept

dusk laurel
#

Yeah

fierce pagoda
#

you evolved

dusk laurel
#

I can't imagine how many fish species we lost in the Incineration

fierce pagoda
#

if there ever was a dragon who could create black holes which would itbe

#

oh right the gravity dragon

dusk laurel
#

And all of the other non-fish too

pliant ruin
fierce pagoda
#

you think the gravity dragon could create black holes on command?

indigo glade
dusk laurel
#

šŸ™

pliant ruin
#

so no not really

fierce pagoda
#

what if it were onlly really small and short lived ones

#

would it still be crazy

#

no it probably would actually

#

you think they could call down meteors from the sky at least?

#

like applying gravity to a meteor and have it fall to earth

cloud ibex
#

one piece.....

fierce pagoda
#

actually that would require them having an insane range

#

yeah i was thinking of fujitora

dusk laurel
cloud ibex

i have no reason to fear she who stinks

Permafrost raising krill

Rookie adventurer finds mysterious ruins and accidentally unleashes an ancient living weapon, later finding and being scolded by an experienced adventurer who found the same site and hearing the legends of said weapon; cliffhanger with the adventurers wondering what havoc it may cause while the living weapon flies away towards the sunset

sudden ruin
#

light linden
#

random thing btw

#

what was polter's old lore?

pliant ruin
#

i think polter didn't actually change too much?

sudden ruin
#

has the lore changed at all

pliant ruin
#

atleast not in base concept

light linden
#

ngl

pliant ruin
#

im p sure it was still a amalgamation of angry souls who wanted to kill yharim even then

light linden
#

I'm not too sure if I like its concept being changed

sudden ruin
#

its not

#

being changeed

pliant ruin
#

I mean it wasn't changed

light linden
#

it's getting reworked and resprited

sudden ruin
#

yeah

pliant ruin
#

It actually stayed p close to what it was in old lore i think?

sudden ruin
#

still same thing

light linden
#

cause ngl

dusk laurel
#

Ghost Plantera is bad

pliant ruin
#

Well it's getting redesigned yeah

#

Because the current design is uh

#

not good

sudden ruin
#

its fine šŸ’”

light linden
#

I like its current design because it's like an angry ghost chasing you through the dungeon

dusk laurel
#

Then what's the issue, other than no longer chasing you

sudden ruin
#

it will be like that with rework

#

p sure

pliant ruin
#

Has it's charm but objectively speaking it's a recolor of a mostly unrelated boss without much actual thought put into it other than "Make plantera but like its blue and a ghost" - It's a relic of the past atp

sudden ruin
#

but perchance more fleshy

light linden
#

also if they take away the smg2 music I will cry

pliant ruin
#

It's gonna likely transition to a ghostier form in the later phases too

sudden ruin
#

the. creature

#

yeah i forgot to say that part

sudden ruin
#

i was going to but i decided id rather say the creature

dusk laurel
#

I need to rewrite the Polterghast section in the doc tomorrow...

pliant ruin
#

the creature

sudden ruin
#

spider polter

dusk laurel
#

light linden
spring helm
#

light linden
#

pliant ruin

Oh, right.

dusk laurel

Has a big split mouth jaw thing

dusk laurel
ruby heart
#

its a new subbiome

#

where you can find living fishes

light linden

ruby heart
#

that mine

indigo glade
pliant ruin
#

The new fish mines sub biome

dusk laurel
#

Triangle is spriting a lot of fish

ruby heart
#

they were placed there by yharim to acquire auric ore

#

its a really sad story

sudden ruin
#

its like hollow night crystal peaks

pliant ruin

You can find ghost illmeran miners there... trust

light linden

Braelor is dog person

I don't wanna know

spring helm
#

feed him chocolate

pliant ruin
#

you're enabling me

manic coral
#

old duke isnt getting a dialogue system smh

spring helm
manic coral
#

it's getting a whole cutscene

sudden ruin
#

wdym

manic coral
#

it's 15 minutes long

pliant ruin
#

šŸ”„

sudden ruin
#

even better

manic coral
#

it plays before the fight every time

dusk laurel
manic coral
#

so everytime you want to try to fight him you have to rewatch it

sudden ruin
#

you really need that context before fighting

dusk laurel
#

Ueah

ruby heart
#

smh

light linden
#

I

#

am I getting trolled?

pliant ruin
#

no triangle cei is cooking

sudden ruin
#

what?

#

these are devs

pliant ruin
#

the 15 minute old duke cutscene

manic coral
#

no triangle and i are being 110% dead serious

dusk laurel
#

What's a trolled?

manic coral
#

gaslighting isn't real

spring helm
#

it's very important to the narrative that you sit through Old Duke's rant about how "Dragon offshoots born after 1087 can't cook. All they know is

manic coral
dusk laurel
#

Old Duke has an auric soul

#

The auric soul of mischief

spring helm
#

so don't worry about it

pliant ruin
#

yes?

#

no?

#

how do i even respond to this?

sudden ruin
#

gods born after xerox cant cook all they know is eat auric soul and die

pliant ruin
#

😭

light linden
#

I don't know either

indigo glade
#

Not exactly as requested, but I had a great idea in the moment while writing Calamitas' story.

pliant ruin
#

for legal reasons there is no fish mines sub biome and no 15 minute old duke cutscene

dusk laurel
#

That was the mission

pliant ruin
#

myl egal team advised me to clarify this

sudden ruin
#

the dialogue system is still in place

dusk laurel
#

You're an expert writer, Seeker

spring helm
ruby heart
#

is really peak

#

about how wyrm betrayed the cause for silva

manic coral
#

yeah old duke isnt doing well after their breakup

ruby heart
#

ye

gritty kraken
ruby heart
#

not really

dusk laurel
#

Old Duke has been taking out his anger against his children

ruby heart
#

its like

light linden
#

also ngl

ruby heart
#

give selpulcher a sword

#

and steroids

pliant ruin
#

that one isn't even a joke

light linden
#

I don't get where y'all got the brick look from

pliant ruin
#

😭

ruby heart
#

old duke is sorta of like

dusk laurel
light linden
#

it doesn't look like bricks

pliant ruin
ruby heart
#

did you look at polter

pliant ruin
#

it's bricks

light linden
#

that doesn't look like brick

ruby heart
#

it is literally

#

literally dungeon bricks

#

(intentional of the design even)

#

the blindness of certain users smh

sudden ruin
#

blue dungeon brick

pliant ruin
#

Like

light linden
#

it looks more like the symbiote map stuff from marvel rivals than bricks

pliant ruin
#

I understand there's a certain appeal to the design but objectively speaking it's like

#

really outdated

#

Dosen't really reflect polter's lore well at all

#

and just

#

isn't a good fit for the mod's current designs
