Rye, baguette, naan, sourdough

While mundane fire can't burn underwater, the sudden appearance of magically produced fire underwater would cause instant vaporisation, filling the affected area with bubbles of scalding hot steam. The sudden increase in water pressure from the vaporisation would have an impact like a small bomb, increasing the amount of disorientation and potential damage. In engineering, this is called cavitation and is significantly damaging to machinery. It's the reason a mantis shrimp can kill its prey with a punch that doesn't hit.

TL;DR: you can absolutely kill someone with an underwater fireball. Though you might want to convert half the dice to thunder damage.

Well clearly these designers aren't familiar with the Master Chief. 8 foot tall super soldier, self insert.

It doesn't work like that. The biggest danger of plastic waste is that it can release microplastics into our waterways and food supply. You can clean up tossed bottles, but you can't clean microplastics.

Oh, you don't like the real world? That's a political ideology, it's called soulism. Look it up, it might appeal to you, since it sounds like you're already a soulist.

Politics doesn't have anything to do with the amount of effort it takes to play a game. You're confusing two vastly different concepts. Ultimately what you are saying is that you want a game devoid of meaning, which you feel no obligation to understand or judge. That's not politics, but it is interesting, because I have typically only heard the assertion that art should not have meaning from gamers and nazis.

Were they all Christians, or were they of a variety of faiths?

I can see it but it's tiny. Google links suck

This is like the fact that Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is about how the American war machine is bad, but one of the bosses you kill is French. One of the themes of the game is that the American military industrial complex literally turns foreigners into war machines, just as it does to foreign nations.

I'm sure other people in this thread have done a great job talking about the mainstream stuff, so I'm gonna get weird.

Nonbinary identities aren't all combinations of male and female gender traits. There are also nonbinary genders. They're called xenogenders. And nonbinary identities can be any combination of male, and/or female, and/or any number of xenogenders. Xenogenders have traits that you may not typically believe are gendered, or that take the stuff you know in unexpected directions. But what are you expecting from a gender that isn't like anything you know? It's gonna seem weird.

Xenogenders are common among otherkin and alterhumans. Otherkin are people who don't identify as human. They may identify as a real animal, or a mythical or fictional creature, which may be sapient or nonsapient, though nearly all otherkin are themselves sapient. Alterhuman is a broader category that also includes people who only identify partially as human or nonhuman. Perhaps someone who remembers a past life as a wolf, for example.

Sometimes a brain contains more than one person. The brain contains a mechanism for creating a person, an identity, a consciousness, and usually it uses that mechanism once. Sometimes it's used more than once. It's called plurality. Plurality can be the result of traumatic mental disorder, but it can also be healthy.

It says half of the Dutch don't wash their hands with soap and water, but I wanna know how many of the Dutch don't wash their hands. Those are two different statistics.
