I'm in this camp, but I'd also put jumping into non-useability. "Rapid" transfers of energy like a punch, kick, jump, or tackle to me is firmly in the striking strength category. It's "sustained" actions, pushing, pulling, throwing, or swinging, that's valid for LS imo.
We already limited jumping to a specific motion and type of jump so not all jumping qualifies already, the kind you're talking about does not
Alright then
Yed
Not sure if that was ever concluded; seemed divided. And both Agnaa, DMUA, and DontTalkDT still seemed against it. Especially like crushing a big shotgun like a soda can, that could easily be seen as ss rather than ls; like pounding it on one side or hard clapping from both sides.
Wrong thread homie
My concern is using a joules-based method (that being, destruction values), and then dividing by the distance it was applied over, in hopes of getting force.
Fair, but I mean, I feel like examples like this seem whack. Seems to rely on vaguely weird assumptions on the properties.
I just think that's a bit of a different topic. Other ways of interacting with such fictional weaponry (bending it or pulverising it) would run into similar concerns around the assumptions.
The destruction values themselves already arbitrarily translate newtons to joules though? Not a very useful heuristic for this
Yeah, and I think using their arbitrary choice of transfer, and then working back from that to newtons sucks.
How about calcs that use compressive strength and the like directly? cf. this
