Fire Emblem: the types of melee weapons are strong against each other rock-paper-scissors style. Melee, ranged, and magic are also strong against each other rock-paper-scissors style.

Eiyu Senki: the types of close-range weapons are strong against each other rock-paper-scissors style. Close-range weapons are strong against long-range weapons, but guns are mutually strong against close-range weapons. Axes and knuckles (but not swords) are strong against mid-range weapons, and throwing weapons (but not spears) are mutually strong against axes and knuckles. Spears are strong against long-range weapons. Cannons are strong against mid-range weapons. Everything's strong against magic, and magic's strong against nothing. Fuck you.

A former colleague told me once that I wasn't in high school anymore. I told him that was the biggest lie he'd ever told me. When the teacher/boss is patiently explaining the steps, and the steps they're giving are wrong and give you the incorrect number, and you try to explain what they're doing wrong, and they don't understand, and you try to show them the correct steps, and they still don't understand, and they're so patient, so understanding, why do you sound frustrated? Why aren't you patient, Feo? Don't you understand that the boss/teacher knows more than you? And even if you manage to convince them the number they're getting is incorrect, it still feels hollow, because even if the whole point of this exercise was supposed to be getting the correct answer, getting the wrong answer is a lesser offense than showing emotion.
