Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Quite. Also, those were all (fringe) individual examples which I intentionally didn't comment on because Mr Zoat started by admitting that individually at least slavery isn't generally a good thing (altho he went on to like the reply so idk).
I was specifically talking about the idea that...
I disagree. The dehumanization implicit in slavery damages a society and both sides of the whip in irreparable ways. It might be good for building infrastructure I guess? If for some reason you care only for that metric. But beneficial for a people in general? That's way too much imperialist...
I'm thinking this will back fire tremendously. Didn't the ability to convert people into constructs come with some sort of feedback into his own soul or something?
What are the odds that while Nabu couldn't draw magic from order/chaos/ambience he might be able to do something to prepare for...
Not necessarily. That expression, without the word kr, is very close to something racist people actually say, so it might just ring that bell.
But also, a lot of writers take their prejudice into work without necessarily meaning to. The fact that it is a BLACK kr that makes people go evil in a...
In my headcanon what was said about powerful lanterns actually means that everybody suffers from this to some degree. In the sense that souls naturally interact one another and a powerful lantern has such relation to its light that it shines through their souls and colors everyone else's souls...
Idk if space nomadism is different somehow but AFAIK nomadism is the opposite of owning land/worlds. We developed our current concept of possession/owning lands when our ancestors stopped roaming around hunting and gathering and settled for being farmers.
Which incidentally is what made war as...
So... qwa-bomb followed by the Reach swipping by with a cloned brain would be a fairly effective way to abduct the SI, right? And I can't think of any counters to this, as he wouldn't even show up in Hade's Realm at first. I wonder if that's going to be a plot point...
I'm wondering.. Mr Zoat, how are you defining the concept of technology in regards to this god's domain?
I'm asking because it can be defined as broadly as 'the instrumentalization of a thing'/'means to an end', in a way that would also include A LOT. It'd encapsulate weapons/martial arts...
Or intruduce some kind of technology that allows/nudge them to cross that bridge between "other" they seem to respect too much to even look at. Empathy/telepathy comes to mind.
There is a Brazilian concept called "Lugar de fala" which I've seen being referred to as 'standpoint theory' (but a...
Isn't this it, though? Jokes aside, this is an exploration on the subject of desire literally dressed as a super hero. It is one of the things that got me into reading it.
On the subject of construct armies, when OLC was first being set up I was thrilled to see what other novel ways to OL than we knew from our OL. Even Dox 'pressing a button without looking' feels odd to me. I don't know that much about the comics but from what I have seen of him I would have...
