    Threadmarks: Observations Upon the Hard Choice, and a Narrative Illustration of Numbers

    Kill 10 to save 100. Kill 100 to save 10,000. Kill 1,000 to save 100,000. This, is the framing of the hard choice, a dilemma where someone dies no matter what. In story discussions, it is the argument that is posed whenever the debate arises on the morality of a character’s actions. And yet...

    A place for long, rambling thoughts painted with a veneer of scholastic philosophy and romanticism, because everybody gets them sometimes. Put yours here. Brevity is not always a merit, and changing minds involve more than screaming back and forth about fallacies. I don’t mind just hearing you...

    Part of the shitty part of the Pre-Butlerian Jihad situation, is that most people are dependent on the tech of technocrats Post-Butlerian Jihad, there are STILL technocrats, they just work with the aristocrats, merchants and religious figures You need a LOT of centralization to keep a ban...

    Threadmarks: chapter 923

    Our next step, as it turned out, required less discussion than expected. Namely, we needed to capture The Vintner and The Sommelier. But first, we needed to figure out who the hell those people WERE. The Vintner shouldn’t be too tough, we were going to be introduced to all the winemakers, and I...

    Chapter 2 It was the cold that woke me up, followed closely by the pain. Shivering, I pulled my cloak off and wrapped it around Adelaide as I stood up and stumbled towards the house. There might not be much that remained, but a blanket, anything that might see us through the cold of the night...

    I saw this one setting where the writer put John Wick worldview into the Cyberpunk 2077 world, so there's like a Continental in like every city in 2075 laying around like a bunch of future adventurer's guild buildings. Alas, it's one of those "multiverse traveling" type stories, so MC didn't...

    Geek's Guide to Thriving in a Low End Fantasy World ( Robert Baratheon OC SI AU)

    As usual, greedy overrides survival instincts. I mean, I get it, the prize is awesome, but they know how normal dragons... Wyverns can burn a fleet down. They have confirmation of 3 big dragons and still go "I can take them." FAFO indeed.

    Yang was the big fish in the small pond at Signal. And so far she's been the consistent second best in combat class. Getting beaten by Pyrrha? Well, no shame in that. Except one day, Jaune actually beats Yang in a Combat Class match. He doesn't do anything fancy, he's just now competent enough...

    “Winners write the history books” is bullshit that has been repeatedly proven wrong with a whole host of examples to the contrary.

    Hoping to return in the foreseeable future. I've had RL issues until recently, and I've been working on hammering out some of my other writing. I am planning to be working on a new chapter soon, though, with my goal being for a release on my birthday, the 23rd.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    It probably comes from 2000 years of Christianity imprinting itself on the western English-speaking mind. The fundamental story was that when the Romans came for Jesus in the garden, Peter wanted to fight back, and Jesus said no, we're not doing that. Get behind me, Satan. They killed him and...

    Clarification regarding AI policy

    I agree. Also I think the AIbros are putting themselves in a pre-Butlarian Jihad type of situation if they delegate too much of their cognitive processes to software. On the question of discussing A.I. writing tools, well, I think it will be nice to have a thread about it. In fact a thread...

    It was only a 387k prolonged, kek. And pretty good, tbh? I'm happy with the way i set things up and then immediately said  nope to most expectations. I'm even happier I caught so many people off guard when Link didn't let Zelda fall. Besides, I have no pesky editors telling me to trim things...
