I have an angry thing to say. If you are not in the mood for something angry and pointless, do not read the following spoiler. I do not want an argument, I just want to share an opinion.
Power scaling is BS. You put two characters in a white room when almost any good fight avoids the white room scenario. You say "look what this guy did once" and act like there was no build-up, they just pulled that crap out of nowhere and could easily do it again. There's no narrative weight, just "who can take more Big Bangs teleported into their skull, who crushes more planets with their pinky toe, who's FTL is faster?"
I can see why you think that, but some people find it fun. It definitely has its flaws, but most of those can be attributed to the person doing it and not the practice as a whole. That’s just my take on it though
I accept and acknowledge your response. I am happy to let others engage with it. I just really needed to say that.
I am a little confused by the wording in the spoiler but I think I agree, infact level 10 and up kind of annoy me because of how powerful I am. Same with videogames that are just like, “grind for 50 hours so you can stomp on the newbies and so on” with barely any skill in the game. Level 1 is probably my favorite level, honestly. I really like having a sense of danger and knowing that strategy and teamwork is important because charging head on isn’t gonna work every time even if we’re higher level. I don’t like D&D’s leveling up system as much as others
(I still don’t get what the whole white room thing was explaining though)
We aren’t talking about dnd in any capacity. We were talking about power scaling, which is the practice of taking two fictional characters and pitting them against each other, seeing who would win in a fight based on what we’ve seen them do
Oh yeah. That’s odd aswell

Well, if the next comment one, then Gibber would win. If the last comment won, I would win (for now). But you would not win.
