This doesn't sound legal. Despite his claims that SEGA won't be suing him (though I can only read the first part as I don't have a Twitter account, thanks Elon), I'm giddy to see if this will finally be his "fucking around and finding out" phase.
Nitpickers and shitposters on the Internet are training humans to be better at dealing with supernatural entities like Faustian demons or the Fae.
We are being trained to get better at spotting overstatements, hedging our own assertions, and using precise definitions of words because we know that if it's possible to misunderstand a statement, some shithead troll will do exactly that.
This is going to be a major human advantage when the Fae decide to invade next year.

Guns Vs Fae
The latter in an odd twist actually had preptime and proceed to conquer the world from the humans
Apparently, going by an in-universe seer, it's gonna be a LONG time before humanity gains it's independence. Lots of guerilla warfare in the meanwhile
There are steel tipped penetrator rounds available at walmart.
... Ok, and? Do you know how many gangs have guns there?These ones are more "mortal" or something, cold iron doesn't really affect them any more than regular metals
They also first invaded New York
... How?but they managed to really screw over the United States armed forces
Strategic destruction of specific areas alongside a good portion of the troops, after many decades of secret observation, also magic that can purposely fuck with technology
Otherwise, they still put up a fight
I admittedly still find it hard to believe they lost, in part because it's confirmed in the same book that Julius Caesar had a campaign that helped drive them back and that was back when they had comparatively more magic but mostly mundane warriors
Magic absolutely shitstomps tech in a lot of settings.Yeah, I think the writer didn't really think it all through
Might turn out to have underwater magical beasts around like they do dragons
Still I really like Fantasy VS Technology stuff, especially when the first still puts up quite the fight
Magic absolutely shitstomps tech in a lot of settings.
Like World of Darkness
Yeah... Weaver Spirits and gifts exist.
Pentex is pure wyrm, I mean they have some corrupted gaian, wyld, and weaver spirits but mostly just wyrm. And most of what they do is just magic.Technocracy is where tech = magic except they're winning (against the protagonist mages).
Gifts & Weaver sounds more like Werewolf though, is the answer Pentex Corporation? Never played straight Werewolf as much as some of the other WoD games.

But yes, werewolves shit all over everything and everyone tech related. They are the beat stick of the supernatural world and nothing else comes close.
Need a submarine or boat destroyed? Just slip through the umbra and get inside and start killing. Or ask your theurge to just... request the boat/submarine to sink itself or open all of the windows/doors at 60 fathoms. Or fire off the nukes, they can do that too. Actually an apocalypse scenario involves some wolves stealing a nuclear equipped submarine and launching its weapons at major cities.
Mages and Changelings can do some stuff, but compared to the wolves... That said, in terms of raw magical grunt both mages and changelings have most of the entire setting beat. Mages on versatility, changelings on raw power and ease of casting.
Humans are... pretty far down that list, considering that an actual honest to god Abrams Main Battle Tank can barely scratch the wolves and, uh, isn't hitting a changeling or mage.
Oh no, those aren't stats. Those are just things they can do. By lore. The stats actually underplay them so you can have some level of challenge in the fights against things like hunters and pentex goons using regular mortal weapons.Most fantasy and SciFi books I read, aren't into "stats" much when it comes to combat, almost everyone is a generalist
Closest thing to something that made use of game stats that wasn't a LITRPG or a GameLIT, I read, was Forgotten Ruin and that was because the lady who made the setting a hellhole was inspired by D&D….they die to bullets but even that's not totally relianle
Is there a different San Marino I wasn't told about?The country with the Lowest HDI score in Western Europe? That's your pick?
It has done something greater empires couldn't. It survived to watch history unfold.![]()
This one? Small land locked country near Italy? I'll admittedly give it points for being the oldest Constitutional Republic, but it hasn't actually done anything impressive.
Can't be invaded if no one knows you exist.![]()

Just because they don't care, doesn't mean they don't know.
Watching shit happen from the sidelines is literally, factually, the opposite of Main Protagonist stuff.It has done something greater empires couldn't. It survived to watch history unfold.
Tell me if that isn't Main Protagonist stuff. When all others go to sleep and never rise again, San Marino just resets the clock.
Only for Heroic Narratives. But our world isn't a heroic narrative.Watching shit happen from the sidelines is literally, factually, the opposite of Main Protagonist stuff.
That is the logic of a loser. The Victor should talk about how the world should be not how it is.Only for Heroic Narratives. But our world isn't a heroic narrative.
That's the logic of an armchair philosopher...or a weeb. The world is as it is, and all we can do is follow our roles.That is the logic of a loser. The Victory should talk about how the world should be not how it is.
