Weltall-Id
Weltall-Id (Japanese: ヴェルトール・イド, Verutōru Ido) is the result of Fei's alter-ego, Id emerging, bringing out the true form of Weltall. In this form, Weltall turns crimson red with glowing yellow marking...

The Violet Moon landed a year later, and was recovered by the pirates of the Disgrace. Inside was the Trailblazer, repaired with alien material, and inside of that, Elly, healed.
Everyone psychic instinctively knew to now call the mech "The Keeper of Eden". It's probably fine.

Unfortunately, the Star-Forge came under attack during the process - and then lifted off the planet and exploded, in the "Un-Night Apocalypse". Elly was shot, and hid in the Trailblazer, the emperor's mech. The fate of her friends was unknown, and a "Violet Moon" was thrown out into deep space.

She got recruited from being an isolated noble girl into a wild-west adventure with mercs hunting for the legacy of the first emperor, retrieving his burnt-out mech and hooking it into the lost "Star-Forge", which built infinite energy devices from his golden blood, to repair it.

I'm white as hell and have done this on both sides of the family - it was just easier to tell the kids to call the adults "uncle" whether they're an uncle or a cousin, and the other kids "cousin". We soft-transitioned out of it as we grew up, but nobody would think it was weird if I did it today.

This feels like the angry version of "please clap" - the exact moment at which it becomes completely transparent that everyone knows you suck, that you know that everyone knows you suck, and you'll never be able to recover from it again.

I don't think there's any particular argument about getting back to a boss - it's about dropping all your cash when you die and needing to go find the spot you died. Has a much bigger impact on exploration deaths than boss ones, honestly.

The inclusion of death runs at all in either game really feels like a cargo cult of Dark Souls. It doesn't feel like they ever once thought about "does this work with how our game spends currency" - just "we have this vibe, so by Fromsoft logic we should have this mechanic".

This is actually the first time I've heard this - I have always found the prevalence of sparkling water mysterious and wondered how we were so fond of the texture that we overlooked that taste. I guess it literally just does not taste like that to other people...

There's no central authority and interpretations differ wildly. All I care about is that, in the real world, people frequently *don't agree* on what they mean by these terms. So when you're dealing with someone, you should figure out what *they* mean when *they* say it.

Doesn't really matter which is original, both are now in common use. You *will* encounter people who only care about e.g. incest, or what they think of as "underage" or "age gap" ships. It's important to figure out which (still wrong) position you're actually dealing with each time.

The lack of standard agreement on the terms encourages flame wars between people arguing over things they don't have a common understanding of, provides cover for the people in wildly extreme positions, and also can help provide a steady growth to radicalize people. Fun times!

Both answers are correct - "problematic" seems to be the original(?) but "problematic" and "just in favor of" are both in use. Helpfully, you have no idea which someone means before you risk something exploding.

sidenote, obviously those numbers are more in line with what I'd like than what you'd like, but the principle of "X new seats every election cycle for Y cycles" is I think still good for not trying to fill nearly as many new seats all at once whatever X and Y are

I do think there's advantages to making it bigger - like just making it split up more evenly among states - just I'm wary of scaling up super quickly. There's still benefits at smaller boosts. (Doing it over time would help transition - "add another 400 seats over the next 10 years")

It helps, but I'm not sure it's a surefire fix to either gerrymandering or buying? It does make them harder and personal-scale efforts more effective, but e.g. "you need to spread your money more" *is* something you can throw "more money" at.

"what changes are you planning to make to support this" would be a real weird way to say "we can't do this", it invites its own disproof? I don't feel like it's a weird question to ask when scaling something up by an order of magnitude, and it's one he had a ready answer for.

Wait, you want the House of Representatives to have almost *seven thousand* (340x20) elected members? Twice the size of China's and more than ten times the size of the next largest body, the UK parliament?
I'm actually really curious what other changes you'd make to support managing that scale...

Lots of IPs that have that problem for their protags, but Gundam usually thinks War Bad, Established Powers Bad. WfM very famously causes problems when the protag kills, the Bright Slap happens because Amuro gets tired of murdering everyone for the military...
