u/-FireNH-

these are custom enchantments im planning on making a mod around for my server! its meant to work with a second mod that modifies the enchanting system so that each item has an enchantment power cap, essentially making it so you can only have so many enchantments on a single item. with that change, mutually exclusive enchantments are removed, and curses can increase the cap; adding curses essentially gives you more room to add new enchantments. the actual numbers arent super important lols:p

Melee

- Brutality V: deals the same damage as Smite against all mobs, but also deals magic damage to the player.

- Affliction: Transfers negative status effects you have to enemies you hit (melee)

- Discord III: Applies random status effects to enemies. The higher the level, the longer the effect, and the more likely for it to be negative.

General

- Curse of Atrophy V: opposite of unbreaking.

- Curse of Obliteration IV: As the tool is used, random enchantment levels can get removed (for example, using a Sharpness V sword with Obliteration might randomly decrease the sword’s Sharpness to IV).

- Soulbound: Item is preserved in inventory upon death

Tool

- Frenzy III: both mining speed and attack speed quicken as the tool’s durability lowers (tools and melee).

- Curse of Dual Wielding: requires melee weapons and tools to be held without anything else in the offhand.

- Prospecting III: A rare chance to get nuggets and emerals when mining regular stone and deepslate.

- Momentum III: Speeds up mining as you continuously mine the same block, resets when you mine a different block

Armor

- Adrenaline III: when you take damage for the first time after not being damaged for 5 minutes, you get temporary buffs such as Resistance and Absorption (armor)

- Curse of Burdening IV: slows down the player when armor is equipped.

- Bounding II: Increases jump height (boots)

- Equestrian III: Increases horse speed

Other

- Hurricane III: Summons wind bursts where Tridents are thrown

- Parachute: Grants slow falling upon Elytra breaking

- Velocity III: Increases the speed of arrows show by a crossbow.

for me its got to be annie rauwerda (depthsofwikipedia). shes hilarious and seems like a great fit personality wise, and has actually been mentioned on the show before (one of the women named in the "name 100 women" section of schengen showdown!). i doubt she'd ever be on though, since shes not a long-form video creator.

what about you?

BoA is famously one of the worst enchantments due to its extremely limited use case. It just doesn’t have a lot of mobs it would be useful against, despite dealing more damage than Sharpness. So why not give it a wider application?

It should still deal extra damage to natural arthropods, but it should also deal extra damage to any mob with the Weaving status effect. That way, if you splash a mob with Weaving, they take more damage than they would from Sharpness from every hit. It’s still a very niche application, but you could use it situationally against tough enemies like Piglin Brutes or even in PVP. One benefit to Weaving over other potions in this instance is it wouldn’t matter if you also splashed yourself with Weaving; the negative effects from Weaving only get triggered by having a BoA weapon

G4’s cast wasn’t handed down from the heavens to be the perfect Mane 6. They were all inspired by previous generations, but adapted and modified to be something new.

Twilight Sparkle came from Twilight (G1), Fluttershy came from Posey (G1), Rainbow Dash was the personality of Firefly (G1) but with Rainbow Dash (G3)’s design, etc. G6 should have done this as well!

G6 being a copy and paste of the Mane 6 but leaving out two characters just feels weird, like an incomplete set that we *know* is incomplete. G5 being entirely new ponies led to characters who didn’t really fit with previous generations all that well. This problem would have been avoided by just doing what G4 did, and having an original cast inspired by old cast.

Also, G6 having the same characters as G4 is going to inherently make it live in the shadow of G4. In 2027 you won’t be able to look up the characters without seeing results for their more popular iterations (similar to what happened with G3’s Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie).

I understand the marketing appeal of having G4 ponies, who are the most popular of the entire franchise. But taking ponies from previous generations doesn’t have to inherently be unpopular! You can adapt some G4 characters but also adapt some G3 and G1 characters—you’d draw in a whole new nostalgic audience by bringing back G3 Minty. Hell, bring back a G5 character too! Just change them enough to be unique and cohesive, rather than being copy and pastes across generations.

I don’t think G6 looks bad, but I was way more excited for the potential of a new world with new yet familiar characters than a copy and paste

I’ve only been a fan of JLTG for half a year now, and my first new season was S16 Hide+Seek UK. Out of the three seasons I’ve been here for their release, I feel like they hyped up S17 Taiwan the most. And boy did that season deliver. The fact that it genuinely does feel like they hype up seasons differently depending on how good they think the seasons are is making me super excited for S19!!!

For any JLTG fans who have been around longer, have you noticed this in the past?

im gonna preface this by saying i do not like agab language. that being said, a lot of people do, and i understand why they do.

on the agab language debate: i think an interesting middle ground is to not say “afab” or “amab”, but if needed say “assigned (fe)male at birth”. 

a problem with amab/afab is that they’ve turned into words in their own right due to their shortness and pronounceability—and as all words do when left unchecked, their meanings have begun to drift. amab/afab no longer means “assigned X at birth” in the most literal sense, but has drifted to something akin to “biological (fe)male”. a good example of this is that people don’t say they were afab/amab, but that they are afab/amab (which is incorrect for the full phrase, as the act of being assigned is inherently past tense). 

using the full phrase “assigned X at birth” does two key things in my opinion. first of all, it keeps the focus on the acrual meaning of the phrase: you WERE assigned X at birth, as in the act of being assigned was the doctor writing down an F or M on your birth certificate; this happened at birth, and does not necessarily have ongoing implications for your life. 

secondly, saying the phrase over the acronym/word is inherently clunkier and less convenient, which can discourage its use: people might subconsciously be more likely to type out a more specific thing influencing their life experience rather than defaulting to afab/amab. as an example, rather than defaulting to afab, someone might just say “since i have a period” instead of typing out “assigned female at birth” (because having a period is the more relevant thing here, moreso than the letter on their original birth certificate).

i do not like agab language, but i do understand how it can be useful. i think this is a decent middle ground. pls give ur thoughts!
