@zetsuravez pretty sure he was about to call them funnels (as in, Gundam funnels). with kata it'd be something like (fa)(ne)(ru), I think, hence what he said.

@Yankun She's Mary Sue, Perfect In Every Way. or else her mother had great expectations when she went bra-shopping. Either or.

@cor3zone Yeah, in retrospect it did feel like we were hammering you for no good reason. Sorry.

@cor3zone I meant more as it is depicted as a weapon usable by a single person, but fair, that's a mistake on my part. From a pure design standpoint, if you already have solo aggro as a system, team aggro is just a redundancy, since team aggro as a functionality provides nothing that solo aggro...

@cor3zone (Is it because the minigun isn't a real weapon?) I would say that comparison is a false dichotomy, since both 'one guy with minigun' and 'a squad of assault rifles' are 'entities', which are technically single units. It's a bit like Total War, where (in the old games) you'd have two...

@cor3zone Are we arguing about aggro again? Also hey man, how's it goin'? Going by your example of non-individual aggro versus individual targeting: Consider the possibility where Kamiyu deals a bajillion points of damage, then flies over to Garm who, up until this point, has done literally...

@Kampfarsch ...Yeah, and? If I, as the bad actor, lies about the contract and dangle the sweetest possible deal in front of someone like Myne who probably will *never* get royal access, who's she going to go to? It's her word against mine, and I have more economic pull than she does. Again, Myne...

@Kampfarsch Sure, she can be the target of a magical contract that allows her royalties from her product, but...I don't see how Myne/Maine is protected from torture before a contract is written. As a bad actor, I can just lure her into my shop with the promise of making a contract and...

@cor3zone Well, I mean...in the event that you're up against two masters and one kid with a stick, you *still* knock out the kid with the stick first because he's just the easiest target, and having one source of critical hits around is just a terrible idea. That said, I get your argument...

@CraniumAmbiguity On one hand, I want to believe that Amy talking can solve problems, on the other...they live in an environment with serious information monopolization. Amy can talk, but essentially any talking she does detracts from her own value because it's the story of "the girl being...

@cor3zone As someone who's gotten hit before in a fight (well, "fight"), taking more damage doesn't mean you shift your attention from the person in front of you, for the simple reason that shifting your attention involves getting hit *again* by the person that's already in front of you. It's...

@cor3zone And Garm would be the most immediate threat. He's highly visible, Large and Imposing, and has a sharp stabby object. He may not be as proficient with that sharp and stabby object as the two ladies, but in any fight where you have the time to slow down and analyze your threats is either...

@CraniumAmbiguity The problem with Amy is the exact same problem with Tsukumu, which is that there is no action she can take that would clear things up. In much the same as the MC's actions being cast as 'he's just benefiting from the hard work as others' regardless of what he does, anything...

@Dagashi Because honestly if the dude's strong enough to kill a demon in one hit he's probably strong enough to kill the rest of the city. Better to just smile and nod and play along.

On one hand, I'm pretty sure trenches are godawful at stopping an army when both sides use sharp pointy bits to kill each other. ...on the other, I'm pretty sure Balud's plan doesn't just stop at trenches, so...

@Kodakowl Funnily enough: when I was little I lived in rural China for vacations, and we had these two-wheeled, people-pulled carts that my grandfather would use on occasion to move material from A to B. For school I lived in the city, with all of its comparatively more modern trappings. Until I...

@Le_Doctor_Bones Oh, I know it burns, I'm just remembering the days when I would throw the paper into a fire, have it land underneath the fire, and then get real disappointed it didn't even catch for like fifteen seconds (mind you I was like 6 at the time and not very smart). Also, we know that...

@Le_Doctor_Bones It wasn't so much as half-burned as it was just...y'know, singed. That said, as someone who used to play with fire and paper...it takes a surprising amount of effort to get paper to ignite, and given that the fireplace had no fire (and the relative competence of the guy) we can...

@Daktyl And how would she enforce those royalties? Last I checked the place didn't seem to have anything resembling a modern-day judiciary system or anything that would, y'know, discourage the accidental stabbing of a small girl. (But yeah Myne is not really about the money. She's a bibliophile...

@Choco_Pudding Using ellipses to indicate cut off (or in this case more of a just 'faltering off') speech is commonplace enough now that I think it gets a pass. Using hyphens may be a little too abrupt of an ending and would indicate that Kyuu noms on it aggressively, which may not be the case...
