You don't have to assume the worst and get mad just like that. (which btw is something you have called me out for doing multiple times in the past.)

Indeed, I don't, but I'm not doing it 'just like that'. I'm doing it because this is like the 20th time you've done something like this to one of my characters, namely arbitrarily decide when to apply or not real world physics, usually only in situations when it's inconvenient to said character, often by pointing out how 'I should have known not to do that', yet when you or an NPC does it, it's fine. It feels unfair and uncalled for. I could write a dictionary of all the trouble that your actions should have caused in your games if it was a real world story.
So yeah, I'm a bit annoyed, and I'm a bit bitter. Sorry bout it. But I sure don't think it's an overreaction given how many times we've been in that situation.
EDIT: Especially when there's multiple existing cases of characters doing the exact same thing or much worse, and nothing happened for them, in the very source material these games are based on. Do you have any idea how much it would mess the world up if someone manipulated magnetism nearly anywhere close as much as Magneto does on a regular basis?

...It's basically the same as saying 'Oh, you're using Growth AN 8? Well, no skeleton could possibly support so much mass in real life, so you die.' And in a game about superheroes and magic and dimensional travelers, that's BS.

I'm sorry. I'm just tired and thin-skinned because of that blasted pandemic and the changes it's causing. I don't have much patience tonight.

I get that. I really do.
That being said I consider enforcing real world physics a storytelling element to be used well or used badly.
I enjoy the trope reality ensues sometimes. Though I try to limit it for comedy and not just as way to screw over the player.

Comedy, I like. Unexpected massive collateral damage possibly causing deaths among whatever survivors might have remained in a destroyed city at the hands of a good person when said person has god like powers and intellect which should in theory easily allow them not to cause it at all in the first place with ease, I'm really not a big fan of.
But enough with this argument. I'm not helping at restoring the fun part of the game by bitching about it for half an hour. Let's just move on.

In fairness Nagisa may be a bit inexperienced in his powers... and it's not like he can't just revive everyone who was killed on his own.

That's true. Fair enough.

And to be fair I try not to apply real world physics to every superpower... But anti-matter has always been one of those that bugged me. Even if you don't trigger a blast large enough to destroy anything but your target there's still the pesky matter of gamma radiation.

Plus. If there's no big boom of some kind when it's really no different than any other form of energy or disintegration ray.
I mean when I hear the term Anti-Matter I can't help but think potentially planet destroying implications even if you only have Mastery of Antimatter at AN 1..

Also I should point out that real world physics helped you in this case... since not all of the antimatter went off at once as each antimatter chunk that exploded scattered the remaining antimatter before it could detonate... resulting in a series of smaller blasts than a single planet-busting one.
EDIT: Sorry I'm just rambling at this point. I'll drop the subject now.

Actually, you managed to make me laugh at this point reading all this additional info, so kudos and thanks for that, I guess? XD

Actually, Vex never put her shoes back on since she danced with Kyle, so she should be able to move normally.
