To put into perspective just how trivial it is, the actual amount of energy of splitting a single nucleus is on the order of picojoules. The shock from touching a doorknob is a few millijoules, literally millions of times more powerful.

That’s not evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s suspicion at best.

Watch a speedrun. They avoid almost all encounters and still nuke bosses in a few turns.

I can’t think of a single remotely modern JRPG with required grinding. It’s usually that you have the choice between learning how the game works or overleveling to brute force everything. People then do the latter and don’t even realize the former was an option.

Exactly, it’s right there in the name. It’s both role-playing and a game, both parts are important. Rules create a common understanding of how the world functions and how your actions are going to affect it. Everyone at the table knows, to some extent, what you’d be rolling to try something, how good you’d be at that roll, how difficult it appears to be, and the likely consequence of success or failure, allowing the same kind of informed decisions sitting at a table in front of a character sheet and a pile of dice that you’d be able to make if you were your character living in the game’s world. None of this inhibits role-playing, it enhances it.

Why even have high level spells if you can just “rule of cool” lower level spells into duplicating their effects? At that point just houserule that Wish is a cantrip. As soon as you start to powergame the rule of cool, you no longer deserve it.

The real answer is probably DoDonPachi SDOJ. Inbachi, the true final boss, went undefeated for over ten years.

Fun fact: that’s one of the easiest levels in the game. It barely cracks the top 10 hardest levels in a game with 12 levels, and only because the first 2 are trivial to lull you into a false sense of security.

It’s essentially the “have you tried turning it off and back on again” of cardiology.

What exactly is your ideal outcome? They successfully prevent Harris from being elected, Trump gets in, funds the construction of the Israeli version of Auschwitz, and the Palestinians getting thrown into gas chambers will think “at least the Americans voted on principle”?

Raises questions? No, it answers questions that we already knew the answer to. He was, and still is, completely mentally unfit, and he’s continually getting worse. What’s left as a question?

I’d wish it on COVID deniers who think anyone who caught it and didn’t die is “fine”. They absolutely deserve that fate.

The story is hard to grasp because you’re starting off halfway through it. The entire first half of the campaign is lost media.

Geographical continents and geological continents aren’t quite the same thing.

The people at the top know full well they’re the tyrants. They only need the useful idiots to believe otherwise.

So the Panopticon. The hypothetical prison that even people in the 1800s thought would be a human rights violation to build because it was such an extreme form of psychological torture.

Why? Is being killed by the direct results of bombing somehow not as bad as being killed by the bombs themselves?

The “best” part of that is that yes, some schools keep cat litter in classrooms, but the reason is so if there’s a school shooter, they don’t have to risk walking to the bathroom.
