The real moral of Greek Mythology is never, ever, ever, ever get your fortune told.

I know you keep telling me to move past it but it happened again. This time it's Claymore that's reminding me of I Hate Everything's videos on anime. The overuse of line filled panels to illustrate stiff movement and the weird exposition are so frustrating.

I know that I shouldn't let people I don't know sway my opinion so much but when the established frustrations are so apparent, it's hard to ignore.

[up][up]The real lesson of Greek mythology is to shut up, hand over your offering to the gods, and pray that none of them notice you because you're likely gonna die in a horrifically petty way.

[up]x4:

And as we've told you several times, while you shouldn't be blind to the flaws of the things you like, you shouldn't let those flaws stop you from liking them at all.

Also, I'll assume at least ''some'' degree of bias from someone who calls himself "I Hate Everything". I don't watch him, but I have to ask: What kind of Caustic Critic is he? Is he the type who simply explains why he doesn't like things in a constructive manner, or is he one of those types that goes "I don't like this thing, and if you like things I don't like, I'll consider you a degenerate and think less of you as a human being"? There's a substantial difference in attitude, there.

[up]I've moved past caustic critics but that doesn't mean that their arguments don't linger. I Hate Everything's constructive (especially in a 7 year old video) but expects we have more criticism and competence. He does lack awareness of media that isn't mainstream.

In terms of Claymore, it's a comic that doesn't understand how its medium works and the trappings are apparent (which I Hate Anime highlights). I shouldn't have brought the videos up because it illustrates them as a guideline I follow blindly. I have no problem with what other people think and this isn't a thread for complaining.

It poorly illustrates movement, relying on speed lines with unchanged poses between panels.
I looked a bit, and couldn't find anything like that. Do you maybe have a chapter, or page, where that happens?

And what does "carry with them" mean in this context?

Changes aside, I'm still curious about what "carry with them" means in this context. (English isn't my native language, and I'm always trying to learn.)

The difference between two panels, two different poses should create a sense of movement. I found the poses so similar that there was no sense of weight to the attacks.

If you want a good book on how comics work, read Understanding Comics. It's really informative.

if Dungeons and dragons allowed mounts I'd totally have a gnome riding a miniature horse

D&D 5E has a section about mounts, I believe. Also the DM can honestly allow anything they want. Realistically the rules are more or less guidelines, the DM has final say on rulings.

I don't recall mounts in Dungeons and dragons beyond homebrew,mostly because of concern over balance,but that might just be thinking of earlier editions

The question remains,could a gnome ride a miniature horse?

They sure can. I remember reading that there's even one race (I can't remember which one ^_^;;) that uses big dogs for their mounts.

Ultimatum: page 155 and 157 (i56 is artwork) of the Player's Handbook 5E cover mounts, and their speed, cost, carrying capacity, etc. I'd probably use the pony stat for a mini horse, so yes RAW a gnome can ride a mini horse.
