@brie That all depends on the skill of the cook.

@PleegWat It's unlikely because yesterday's not-so-delights are more likely to outlast yesterday's meals.

Because if those metal boobs are hit with a blunt weapon, they're going to bend inwards and break her sternum.

which is also a problem in full plate armor that doesn't have brilliant balooning boobity built in.
Alliteration and assonance are awesome!

I'll have to go with no on that one. Because alliteration. The actual answer is possibly yes, but considerably more force will be required to do so, and a fair bit more reach will be required to even connect. Additionally, there will be leather or woolen gambeson (not that any vidya/faptasy character ever wears any) to absorb some part of the blow.
In this configuration, however, seams of the fake bewbage will form a sharp V that will go inwards through any soft material, to at the very least very painfully injure.
In fact, there's no need for anyone to attack. An unfortunate fall forward will be enough.
However, it could possibly be useful against flail (which is not a real weapon anyway) as the rounded surface may have better chance to deflect the already imprecise strike.
All in all, it doesn't matter if the balloon bewbage is filled with bulging bosoms or it isn't. The armor is dangerous to the wielder regardless.
Now, about those eyeballs that would fill good half of the skull...

okay, so now we've changed from blunt force trauma to a cutting strike?
I can't disagree that such defined cleavage would indeed guide a sword strike to that location and create stress risers that would have to be reinforced and carefully constructed to spread the force of the hit away from the sternum, but that's entirely a different strike than one that would cause the cups to buckle and collapse.
you indicated at first a direct strike that would cause buckling with blunt force trauma, a strike that would be equally, if not more (due to the lack of crumple zone), problematic for normal full plate. which is what I pointed out. now that you've moved the goal posts from a crushing blow to a cutting blow, yes that armor is less practical than traditional full plate, because of the cleavage valley that would guide the strike to... well cleave the person wearing the armor. so congratulations.... wooo...

Based on a careful reading and grammatical analysis of your posts, combined with my knowledge of melee weapons and armor, your posts do indicate that to be the case. If that was not intended then you have some ambiguity in your thinking and/or word choice that could stand to be clarified. It is also possible that there is a gap in my knowledge and understanding of physics and melee weapons and armor that would have lead me to a false parsing of your words, but i consider that relatively unlikely since a bladed weapon would almost always tend to slide off a slope such as would be encountered in boobylicious armor, and would there fore always fall into the cleavage point, to get a blow that would crush the armor and so apply... well a crushing blow, would seem to require either an incredibly precise strike, an armor that is far too soft to be effective at all (possibly made of cheese) or a weapon designed to deal blunt force injury, as a way to sidestep all or part of the stabbing and slicing protection offered by plate armor or chain mail.

No, a blunt force trauma would propel that pointy internal v into the chestal area of your well endowed warrior

hmm..... I mean i suppose it's possible if the armor is poorly designed or built..... but i just don't see that as likely given the time and effort that clearly went into construction.
then again is is Shad of Shadbase drawing that and.... well realism never was their thing, much like it isn't for Sparrow of Hentai-foundry fame.

@Vixen If the armor is designed with a pointy internal v to separate the breasticles and create externally visible cleavage then it doesn't have much choice but to work that way

there are a multitude of ways that could be designed such that this is not the case, for you see the disparity between the wearer and the external appearance, since ther would not be anything in those cups at all ti could easily be that there is systems of bracing and plates that take the chest missiles and properly spread the force of any strike out across the entire torso.
There's plenty of room to design some really good enginerding to fix that issue

Ah, I would expect that to be just painted on in a pleasing fashion. There's lots you can do with the right tricks:

@Vixen Not that much room, unless your warrior is not as well endowed as one would hope, or your armor looks like a Rob Liefeld drawing

"Mildly." Yes, let's go with that.

Relevant to the StackMeltdown discussion. I am sure pronouns for robots were mentioned in the thread or in one of the links, but the search being what it is (a shared feature with stack exchange) I can't find it. Whatever.

Well played.

@Vixen Scott Adams explained on his blog that different people have different kinds of humor, and that people only need to laugh once every few comics to get hooked, so he deliberately mixes different styles of jokes to make his audience as wide as possible.

@Zecc exactly. Except these groups are different for everyone. I mean, there must be some reason why this dull, unfunny, completely predictable sitcom made of pure awkwardness called The Big Bang Theory was running for so many seasons.

Some are kinda meh, but the only really bad ones I've seen were when he had a guest artist a few months ago. Those were awful. I don't remember who the guest was, but Adams should break off the friendship and punch his ex-friend in the nuts; they were that bad, especially the last of the series. (Mercifully, I've forgotten just about everything else about them, except how bad they were.)

I wouldn't know because the art was so atrocius I couldn't get myself to read it.

@HardwareGeek I only remember that it happened, but not anything about the actual comics.
e: it was quite easy to find. The artist was Jake Tapper and he drew Dilbert as Scott Adams:
