Overpoweredness

Invariant in [Bulat] Okudžava is the negatively evaluated Minv ‘lack of forces, time, means, food, and so on’, which embodies ‘life’s hardship’. In the Pasternakian world there is a similar but unambiguously positive motif—‘overpoweredness, something being beyond one’s forces’, expressing ‘magnificence of existence’.

[Carl] Jung borrowed from [Rudolf] Otto the term mysterium tremendum to express a subjective experience of the numen, which Otto said produced personal reactions of awe, overpoweredness, the influx of energy, an awareness of the presence of the “wholly other,” and fascination. Jung knew these to be human responses to the presence of a god-image, a symbol of the Self.

Any living human being, by contrast, is someone to whom freedom and unfreedom can pertinently be attributed. Thus, by recognizing the modicum of liberty involved in the immobility or overpoweredness of a person who is indeed completely immobile or overpowered, we recognize the difference—for the purposes of an analysis of social and political liberty—between the living and the dead.

The overpoweredness does bug me. Everything in 0080 was overpowered, I just divide all the specs by 2.

In my experience, the "overpoweredness" of psionicists is usually simply the DM [dungeon master]'s inability to properly manage it by either letting the PCs [player characters] be the only ones to use psionics, by not fully undewrstanding how to effectively use them himself, or by not enforcing the *many* limitations of the class.

: Then someone else plays New York as their first puppet and you are : screwed. Especially if, as some have proposed, you and the other guy : both have to DISCARD New York. AAAAAhhh! Hasn't happened yet, allthough I admit that it'd be very likely, considering the overpoweredness of New York.

In certain animes, people who are airheads tend to have hidden power in store so their air headedness balances out their overpoweredness.

And while we care about balance, if we have to sacrifice fun or overpoweredness, we’re just going to let it be overpowered, because we want people to have a great time.
