  • I like the supposition, but we do know how it affects them from the season 6 two part opener of DS9. Some federation members and jem’hadar crashland on a planet. One of the plot points is the limited amount of white available to the soldiers.

    From the episode, we know they grow irritable, lose discipline, go into violent frenzys, lose the ability to cloak and eventually die when they dont have white for a prolonged period. This process takes several days at least, although I think the time frame shown in the episode is close to a week, and none of them die from a lack of white.

    So I don’t think its viable, but its a good “finishing” move on a battlefield, I.e like bayonetting the wounded enemy that happened in the civil war. I don’t think the federation would condone that behavior, but I’m sure the Klingons and some other races would.


  • Slicing the hose kills them later, not now. Y’all dont use a knife to kill someone next week. Y’all use it to put someone down on the ground immediately.

    As a less quipy followup, Jem’hadar are established early as clones that mature to adulthood in a matter of weeks. Thats their real threat. Even if you had the inclination to kill them slowly, its almost irreverent. More will come, enmass.

    One punch is a parody that is also in love with the genre its mocking. Its whole joke is now setting up the exact same type of story, running it 99% through the same tropes, then ending it in a whimsical way while still having the epic battles, just with over the top side charectors until the very last minute.

    In fact, the anime is such a big fan of its own manga, it has also shifted to using static images as much as possible.




  • Modern magic is wacky sometimes, because exile means “gone for good,” except for dozens of exceptions in odd and wacky places. There are entire commander decks built on doing fucky things with cards that are “forever lost.”

    This seems to be the case for most effects in MTG these days. They all mean what they say, except…
