Nice post, Kyle Judd from Kentucky.
So is this for real, or is this just so you guys can have an inbox you can easily ignore?
Has anyone here actually talked to the admin team and gotten a response back?
Every day I look at the modlog and see the same names doing the same bullshit.
You actually sound stupid if somehow you read "underpowered" and then immediately jump to the conclusion of:
Why can’t I attack this clearly heavily armored enemy with a small calibre weapon and killed them instantly?
Players: "Why not just make all of the underpowered weapons actually useful in high difficulty?"
Arrowhead: "Go fuck yourselves, lmao rekt"
To be honest, it's not particularly great. But it sucks less than Reddit, so....
Contains spoilers for the full Haruhi series, season, season 2 and the movie. Though I guess if you are browsing a Haruhi community in the year 2023, you have seen it all already.
Spoilers begin below:
Haruhi has godlike powers and manifests her wishes into reality
Or does she?
I forget which LN it was in. Tanigawa briefly teased the concept that Haruhi wasn't the one with godlike powers, but it was actually Kyon. It wasn't a big tease. It was mentioned in an offhanded way in part of a paragraph and then never brought up again. However, it was a thought I had had before reading that, and seeing that Tanigawa even thought of it too (although maybe he only considered it as a throwaway line) sort of makes me feel like there is some substance there.
My understanding of this theory is that Kyon's desires manifest everything in the world, though because he is in such heavy denial that aliens, espers and time travelers exist, he can only envisage this sort of thing happening if someone else is manifesting it, that someone else of course being Ms Suzumiya.
As a semi-related side note: have any of you read the Michael Crichton novel The Sphere? Or seen the late 90s movie based on it? The idea of people wielding Haruhi-esque godlike powers and manifesting subconscious desires into reality is a major part of the plot in that story. Crichton (at least in the book version) also does a good job of writing about the psychology of how and why such a thing could happen. Actually, the first time I watched Haruhi and Koizumi explained her godlike powers, my thoughts immediately went to this book first.
I hear this argument from people who played the background prologues and thought those were the major decisions in Cyberpunk. Mild spoiler alert to anyone who hasn't played: they are essentially short tutorials, not major storylines.
Yeah, this was torture in grade school. I figured it would get better in middle school.
Then it was torture in middle school and I thought it would get better in high school.
Then it was STILL torture in high school and I thought it would surely, surely get better in college.
Then I got to college and there were still mofos reading. like. this.
You guys are all the worst, I would never want to work with any of you. Do everyone a favor and grow up.
