Apeiron is below amoeba unless a character has whatever feats. But if a character has feats, then it is no longer ineffable. So Apeiron is a level that is bound to be for featless characters. Below amoeba level in other words, the Yelk's Anti-Principle level stuff.

PSB Wiki tiering system is among the worst tiering systems known to me, only the "Top Strongest" Wiki's tiering system may (or may not) be more stupid.

PSB Wiki is full of No Limit Fallacies. Very strong characters such as Metanormalcy and Nemo Ex Machina are underrated there whereas different fodder such as Nasuverse ("Apophatic" is the only "impressive" stuff there) and the Force (from Star Wars) borrows the highest tier, lol.

I prefer All Fiction Wiki and old VSB Wiki (before tier 0 "upgrades"). These systems are logically (more or less) based.

In other words: Feats > Cool Description.
Is it correct that there is an uncountable infinite amount of snapshots of reality even at 0.0000000000000000000000(amount of zeroes is the biggest finite number ever known)....000001 planck time?

Sorry for disturbing, wish to ask for help in closing this thread cause there's no further need for it.
Alright so this has been on my mind for awhile. So how are you gonna tell me I don’t get Travis’ character when you haven’t finished the series

Well first off, I didn't say it was you specifically, I said that people who think that Travis is some ultra badass cool guy don't get him (Plus I said it in a joking manner lmao) and second: Travis' character is pretty in your face in the first game, the game tries to present Travis as this cool guy at first but as you continue playing, it gets kinda obvious that Travis is just kind of a loser and that him being an assassin is a bad thing. From what I know, this part of him is explored even more in depth in more games but I won't say anything about them cuz I haven't played them.

Question so you know advance wars?

I think I might have a character who might be able to match hawke


He can just use tranquilizers instead of killing him
Hey.

Heyo, weird to post it here, but I couldn't find your original comment. I recall you mentioned in the Pokemon thread that you were somewhat confused as to why Kieran in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet turned out to be the kind of guy he was. At the moment I didn't have the DLC so I didn't even know who Kieran was, but recently I went through the two DLC episodes and saw it for myself. Honestly, yeah, he's kind of a self-centered ass, but... huh... I liked that? How to put it?
I guess what I liked is that, they never played the sobstory card, they could have easily brought up some exposition that Kieran was bullied in school, that his parents are dead or somethig like that for quick sympathy, but they didn't, they just let the events talk for themselves and show a screw up of a kid. Helps that the story shows you what led to his change, but doesn't excuse it or try to hard to make it sympathetic or tragic (the usual is to just ramp up the tragedy or show a despicable villain was behind everything, nothing of that here, Kieran had to own up to his mistakes), it's shown that while the events affected Kieran, his own issues also contributed a lot. My only gripe is that the issue was solved in your typical "epiphany" fashion: character gets a realization and the problem is over, when it would have been interesting to at least have a talk regarding his issues.

And to be honest, Kieran's frustration with the Player Character does hold some water, as Pokémon games have kept going the pandering to the player from the game is more and more blatant and the game goes out of its way to make you the most special cookie in the universe, every success falls on your lap and everyone will go out of their way to tell you how much better than everything you are. I know that being able to do everything is part of the gameplay experience and choices, but the game can be a bit patronizing regarding it. Honestly, Kieran's drama almost comes as self-awareness from the game itself.

At the risk of of being repetitive, I can get why Kieran comes as unlikeable, but I think it's because we are too used at characters having nominal or romanticized flaws instead of genuine unlikeable traits and for the story to give us excuses that justifies their actions, be it tragedy, well meaning but misaimed actions, a true hidden villiain or if a character is a genuine screw up it's because they went through a outrageous amount of trauma that would send to a madhouse a person in real life. The game itself introduced Arven as a jerk, but shortly after gave us that he was taking care of a sick puppy, Team Star is shown as a bunch of delinquents, but then it goes out of their way to emphazise how everything was the fault of their bullies and they were just victims. So Kieran, having legitimate unlikable traits, not having a tragic and sympathetic backstory, not going through a conga of suffering and simply having more grounded issues came as... odd.

Glad you had the opportunity to play it!
Yeah, many find Kieran endearingly pitiable, in spite of his selfishness that he eventually overcomes.
To each their own.

In part yes, but also how tried a different... um... "less safe" writting with him. Kinda reminds me of Luke fon Fabre, the MC of Tales of the Abyss, who is written as immature, selfish, abrassive and ignorant, and making horrible decisions with dire consequences, while the game is about him owning up to his mistakes, learning and growing up. Predictably he's one of the more divisive characters of his franchise, some think he's just too unlikable to work, others (myself included) think that writting him as so flawed and unlikeable is precisely what makes his development out of it so good.

But I can see why some people aren't willing to put up with a truly unpleasant character, sometimes you just want a good time and the last thing you need is someone to spoil that.

I thought the DLCs were pretty good. I was taken aback a bit by Terapagos though. While it finally gave some answers to some of the bigger questions of the SV lore, I felt some were still unexplored. Paradox Pokémon being from alternate timelines instead of the far past or future was strange though.
