tbh i think that even unwinnable fights should be winnable. some of the BEST fights i've ever run as a dm were ones i built kill the players (in a fun way. I had some cutscenes prepped so even the loss would be a different flavour of win)- but then they were clever bastards and managed to either win the fights or pull themselves out of trouble. I think it's perfectly fine to plan for a fight that players aren't supposed to win, but you need to let them. if they can't win, they can't lose, and the meaning of that encounter is diminished. do that too many times, and they stop trusting you to give them roleplay prompts and start expecting to sit there waiting while you drive the story for them.
but if they can win... if there is always the chance to win, no matter how impossible the odds, then they ALWAYS have hope. they always get invested. they feel the big emotions of success or the big emotions of failure, and you fucking Win as a dm/roleplay prompter/lead bastard.

"another charles pole and max win" me personally i know the only reason charles is fighting versus the rockship that is redbull its purely because of how well he manages the car and how much he has to fight it for it to be able to be competitive and guess what! is not enough! because the sf-23 is still a tractor and rbr have won almost every race this year! and they've dominated the past 3 seasons! and i think the amount of poles he has had just shows how good of a driver he is and the potential he has to show when he finally has a car that will fight alongside him, not against him

How dare feminists center women’s struggles and define male oppression from the root lol. Feminists too smol brained to understand dialectical materialism. Feminism is a device of division that should be stopped. Feminism is . . . uh . . . racist. Feminists don’t understand women’s liberation or class struggle. Even the Marxist feminists are just uh . . . revisionists because Marx and Engels were already pure and perfect feminists with pure and perfect analysis
Women whining about their oppression is dividing the proletariat. Women don’t deserve their own political party that centers them lmao? There’s uh, working class struggles we all have to fix first! Then women will be free! If we were all just commies and marxists and people just understood that capitalism and imperialism (male-created) were abolished, men would be nicer and normal to women and women’s issues would evaporate! Because that’s worked so well before! Obvi!
feminists women are so stupid and don’t understand anything
feminism has done nothing for actual people men

i am so curious whats your beef with tsuna hitman reborn??
What do you mean what's my beef isn't it obvious the kid never just accepts that he's gonna be a mob boss one day and it's so freaking annoying like you're telling me you are fighting multiple enemies and even go into the future and find out that your future self is the head of Vongola family and you still refuse to wise up and just accept yeah im gonna be a mob boss maybe I should stop whining about it and just get with the program like I'm sorry but getting over your refusal to be a mob boss should be end of act one plot point not still unresolved by both the end of the anime and end of the manga bc yeah I read that too oh I've never been more frustrated waiting for this kid to finally be like yeah I accept and take responsibility for my future as the head of my family but we end the series the same way we start and I'm ready to fight tsuna over it

I always find gun owners silly when they try to claim lacking deep intricate knowledge of guns means you shouldn't demand literally any protections from them.
Like buddy people may not know what an assault rifle actually is but does that even slightly fucking matter when it's a Point-and-Click Kill Tool?
Safety is always thrown to the wayside when people discuss why they believe guns ahould be banned, but then it's All About safety of self-defense with these people who have never shot a living target once in their lives, nor ever have been in any situation that required any need for such.
Perhaps we should not listen to those with a vested interest in the rather dangerous hobby. They seem to think having the wrong name of a gun stops the gun from killing anyone. They also seem to care about their safety over children's who are in fact dying in larger and larger numbers than these Larpers.

22 seconds.... max was ahead by 22 seconds.... like these teams know that this sport is utterly boring if the cars are not neck to neck racing right??? like forget about redbull dominance or whatever. mercedes was dominating for years and it wasn't boring. yknow why? cause there was still a chance that someone else could win. and then someone else did win!!! and love it or hate it, you cannot deny that it was interesting. this is boring cause no one else is competing!! all the other cars are dogshit and it's boring!!! the williams car bluescreened, charles has no brakes, lewis' seat broke, whatever the fuck that's going on with alpine.... what is even the point?? 22 seconds... like what do i even say??? might as well just cancel the season

I think Sasha complicated feelings towards Marcy this ep was very interesting to see actually and ppl are once again missing all the hints of Sasha's true feelings towards her friendship with Marcy
First of all the ep started with Marcy showing her favorite movie to the girls and them (in her vision) ignoring her interests. It's totally natural for Marcy to be hurt and sad over this and hold a little grudge (even if subconsciously) over them and how they treated her
Sasha is changing and becoming a better person FOR SURE but we also have to remember that above all else Sasha is a child and human, she obviously has flaws and, while doing her best to control them, it doesn't just disappear so fast over years and years of having this behavior
Sasha is controlling, selfish, quick to anger and very hypocritical and even if she is making progress to make her qualities outshine more, her flaws are still something that she can't just let go completely. That's totally normal specially to a KID trying to change
But the thing is that Sasha even tho saying that she didn't cared about Marcy's movie, she still remember the plot that marcy told her perfectly!
Sasha even tho she said that she didn't know if she could save her friendship with Marcy, was worried about her and was the one that mentioned her THE WHOLE TIME. She was the one that brought the topic of her to even start all of this !
And look, I know it sounds really angering hearing Sasha of all people not wanting to forgive Marcy after spending the whole season talking about 2nd chances... SPECIALLY considering her own mistakes...
just because sasha made her own wrong doings this doesn't mean she isn't allowed to be hurt
BUT
And if she didn't care about Marcy why would she even mind and be SO bothered about the idea of their friendship not lasting anymore??
"Let's say you're right"
Sasha is very reluctant to accepting that she's wrong and that she committed mistakes and even with her redemption we know that she still has a hard time forgiving others (and herself)
Sasha truly cares about Marcy but considering her attitude in s2 with Anne's "betrayal", we should've know better and see this little stubborn part of her coming from a mile away.
But even with all her anger, all her resentment and all her sadness, Sasha can't help but worry about Marcy all the time!
Hell! Why would she even create this rebellion who's one of the goals is to rescue Marcy if she didn't CARED about her?!?! And this is her goal all the ep!!
.........
AND HERE COMES THE MARCY'S GRUDGE THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER!
The core knows how hurt Marcy was by her girls, SPECIALLY, Sasha's indifference to a lot of Marcy's ramblings and actions
And so does Sasha.
So that's why she's the only one truly hurt at this scene bc she KNOWS that this message was directly to her and how she treated Marcy (before AND during amphibia)
And THATS why their fight next EP is so perfect
Sasha trying her best to get Marcy back to show how much she meant to Sasha, how much she cared about her!! This has so much potential!
Look how Sasha has her guard down in this fight... Almost like she doesn't want to truly hurt Marcy... But also is going to make an effort to get her back.... Splendid!!!
