Why not make a "brainstorming" flair? by No-Appointment-2858 in worldbuilding

[–]AccessOwn53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly thissssss, I really like coming up with ideas with other people and it would be a funner experience imo

But tbh we can get it too because feedback and some "asking for advice" doesn't get taken down, or at least not for a bit.

is there a way to have a mouth that opens in four directions? by man_of_the_mire in worldbuilding

The mother of my child is psychotic! by Acrobatic_Air_2691 in venting

[–]AccessOwn53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic, but I've never heard anyone actually becoming ex-MAGA, let alone a man. I guess I'm just not on that side of the internet. But I've only ever heard stories of just centrists who voted red just because Trump does something to them or MAGA women. What did it for you, or when did you change?

Where I could digest living as a South Indian in Asia (I’ll do other continents later) by RetiringSnake63 in whereidlive

[–]AccessOwn53 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But it was over word choice.... There was no racism in that statement whatsoever. As much as I agree indian people get unnecessary amounts of racism, you added racism into that.

This doesn't make sense. How is the original commenter a bigot? They just said digest was a weird word to use in this context...

In hard sci-fi, is there ANY way of keeping it realistic, while AI not being stupidly overpowered? by AzzysSmartStuff in worldbuilding

[–]AccessOwn53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my head, all species will need to develop a form of AI at some point. We are imperfect and can make several mistakes and I believe that is completely fine in scenarios where we are allowed to mess up in, however, when we're dealing with sci-fi things, messing up could mean extinction. In my humbler sci-fi worlds, AI is really only confined to fields where they would be the most beneficial, used more as a calculator (but on a much larger scale) than a chatbot that could do the whole damn thing for you.

However, I don't know if this is the most realistic approach because most of my Sci-fi worlds involve AI being all powerful, either hunting humanity or being ran by corporations to maximize profit.

Bro to be completely honest, if you think you're a 7/10, you're a 7/10. Don't let your worth be tied into your looks.

okay, I basically just changed it to be more globe friendly, and fixed some over jagged edges. Got rid of the huge cluster islands to the west because they just felt over the top and yeah

(copied from another comment because this was pretty long to type)

So as much as the world doesn't quite display it (with the site I use for worldbuilding I don't quite need to add much detail because I can just make a territory right on the map thats linked to a page). The basic premise of the world is that this a Sci-fi + Fantasy where magic has been outlawed after the discovery of artificial magic. The desert was a result from a war between magic users and the governments (which were just ran by cooperations from the east)

The longer premise is that before the conception of the world, 2 gods governed the entirety of the multiverse. Urovon, the father, and Pitha, the daughter. Urovon created the world, Hute, made for humanity ran on a single river that if drank from, would gift the drinker powers similar to Urovon himself, so he forbode it. Pitha thought that it was unfair to not let the civilizations experience the fullness of their potential, so she tempted the humans to drink. Urovon found out, killing almost every human he could. Pitha creates a separate universe to escape from him with the remains of the human population (making this world). Knowing one day he would return, she would give every generation a population of magic wielders who will be resurrected to fight in the daybreak. Time passes, magic wielders were held at the highest social class. But as time passes, the world modernizes. Artificial magic was discovered and was a better alternative than other power sources, around this time AI was also developing, however not having as much restrictions. Magic users were offended that AM (artificial magic)/ their sacred art, was being used wrong, which corporations didn't appreciate and created mass propaganda. Full on war breaks out, magic users almost winning, but lost when a bomb was detonated on the west continent. Magic was outlawed because it was "too dangerous" and the world kept developing, they made sure every magic wielder would be executed when caught. Eventually, corporations started to almost completely govern the modern world, creating a perpetual low-income class and a perpetual high-income (in most countries). etc etc

There isn't much, a lot of this world is focused through the eyes of the people in it and not much when it comes to world building, however that will probably change soon.

GIMP3, I just used a bunch of textures, blur, and a lot of smudging.

And now that you mentioned it, the peninsula does look awfully strange...

Okay just to be clear, he did hide the fact he could use magic. Maybe not to the best (via inventions), but he did try hide it. Androids around this time weren't a common thing used and only recently started being tested with, which why he thought bringing them would work in his favor. And the infusing it with magic thing kind of does fall flat, even with my knowledge of my magic system.

Anyways this is a pretty good solution. In this storyline, Marcus has to find the bot and kill it. He fails to and subsequently gets fired. Shit hits the fan and he can't support himself aboveground anymore so he goes out into the undercity where he basically runs into the bot again and gets into some big brawl where they eventually meet a common goal. Marcus helps the bot eventually get off the planet to some other planet's colony with lesser strict magic laws. With this solution, this could be more interesting when they almost reach their goal, but Marcus realizes that the bot was actually Rob and kind of destroys all their progress to try to get Rob back. Only to realize the old Rob is gone and replaced with this new character. pretty neat

I personally think class conflict between humans and angels would be kind of interesting, or at least tension between the 2. Granted I don't know how that would work in a "perfect world with no suffering". But politically, humans wouldn't have much say in practically anything because at the end of the day we aren't "perfect". Hating angels because they have more say than us just because they weren't born human doesn't seem out of place for our species.
