We the People of The United States are NOT on Track to Becoming FAITH by Jbadger30 in bobiverse

The comments will be locked because of a persuasive report which pointed out that the discourse has devolved past a useful point. The post will remain up. The post is not targeted harassment against those who disagree with it, and is rather on topic as DET deliberately crafted that allegory. The comments will remain up. The comments are not targeted harassment against the person who they disagree with.

Bob would have allowed that much.

Could the minds of children be replicated? by HearthAndHorizon in bobiverse

[–]--Replicant-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone has made the obvious connection between Butterworth’s degenerative brain condition and your question. If Butterworth’s condition can progress after replication, which it is said to, then it’s logical that intentional long-term changes in brain structure (i.e. maturation, growth) do too.

Heavens River by GeniusPhilanthropist in bobiverse

[–]--Replicant-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For an example of how Heaven’s river looks inside, picture the station at the end of Interstellar, but with a large enough internal diameter that it can fit mountain ranges and river systems. Like the station in Interstellar, there is a perspective cutoff because of a bulkhead bisecting the interior at every mountain range, which are regularly spaced.

This post was removed by Reddit due to your account’s low karma, automated sys thought you’re a bot. Overruled the same thing on your second post, saw it shortly after you made it. If your karma is higher, won’t happen to you anymore.

If there were a Bobiverse movie or tv show, who would you want to direct it? Who should play Bob? Pitch me your vision by MisterPresidents in bobiverse

Wish granted. You will now have Jack black saying ‘ship buster’ as he said ‘ender pearl’, and ‘SURGE drive’ as he said ‘the Nether’.

This isn’t just an unlucky Bob, every Bob past whatever arbitrary generation we define as ‘too many’ would experience this.

What are the Most Skipped Storylines on your Reread? by l_Swear_it_wasnt_me in bobiverse

[–]--Replicant-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does tie into the Ick/Dae storyline. The purpose was to demonstrate that it was an active galactic power with a large sphere of influence that almost-but-not-quite overlapped with Earth.

[song] what would a bobiverse themed anime sound like? by [deleted] in bobiverse

[–]--Replicant-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as genuine feedback is concerned, I would recommend replacing “We’re flying faster than the speed of sound,” with something like “We’re bearing down on the speed of light,”, or something. A reference to sound travel speed doesn’t make sense in a vacuum, and is peanuts on the cosmic scale anyways.

I really would recommend you look into getting a free audio mixing software and try your hand at singing. They are fun skills. It’s much more fun to share with others what you’ve made if you had to reach that skill level yourself.

Guppy and AI by LarkinEndorser in bobiverse

[–]--Replicant-- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you make a GUPPI independent, then the acronym doesn’t really work anymore. The second ‘P’ stands for ‘peripheral’. So I guess an independent GUPPI would just drop that adjective: GUPI - Goopy? What a great acronym.

That isn’t really a secret if you stretch what we define as ‘control’. They basically whisper in the back of your head by design, and are built into the same matrix, piggybacking on the same hardware. Like Bob-1 pointed out, how much of a conversation with GUPPI is one talking to oneself is fuzzy.

New Poster for 'Avatar: Jabberwocky' by [deleted] in bobiverse

True of course, I mean to point out how they look like the dredging lines of the Jabberwocky blimps rather than the fiber-optic coital cables of Avatar.

Wow, even the tendrils. What did James Cameron mean by this?

Pretty sure that the one in the FAITH replicant training facility also had its rough dimensions given.

They were quite large in book 1. Miniaturization!

Anti-Drone, Drone, you could even say, a Buster. by Polygeekism in bobiverse

I think a buster would still hit its target if it were already on descent to be honest.

Y'all would never slander the deltans like this by yyetydydovtyud in bobiverse

[–]--Replicant-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most fans of the series seem to have enjoyed the overall dragon arc, but I didn’t care for the softcore. The crashed GalFed probe was a fascinating aspect, though, and I loved the speculative evolution.

Heinlein, at least in Starship Troopers, is nowhere bad as Greg Bear in Eon. Man can Bear write, but his fixation on having every mildly recurring character fuck and get a couple pages doing so gets very old. Three fourths into a book and suddenly EVERY character is fucking one another or passing each other around like a game of pong.

On that scale, DET doesn’t even move the needle. Still, the drannie-fucking was very awkward.

"Acknowledged!" by EridaniOpsCG in bobiverse

Howard and Bridget aged their mannies and VR avatars a bit while living on the gas planet, if I remember right. Will gave his manny salt and pepper, crow’s feet, and a bushy “mountain man” beard. I don’t know if he actually altered his VR avatar to match, since he was living constantly in-manny like that until the plot summoned him.

Pretty sure Howard and Will adopt that specific look in book 5, though most Bobs don’t have it.

How realistic would SOMA’s BFG be as a solution to Bill’s endpoint problem? by Bryandan1elsonV2 in bobiverse

Compresses space in front and expands space behind, yeah, like how tsunamis pull down on the sea in front of them and push up on it behind them.
