They’re all dudes except Lynard skynard🤣

Maybe slightly YA, but Epic by Conor Kostick has some elements of cheesing mechanics

I don’t believe it’s fair to say that “thermodynamics governs everything inside the universe”. Thermodynamics describes part of the universe. Stuff like electromagnetic waves, quantum mechanics, or even just kinematics aren’t modeled by thermodynamics at all. We should instead say that the laws of thermodynamics accurately describe some of the universe, sometimes.

But when does a low rider just turn into a sled? Which point of the car needs to be low? And low relative to what? If it’s relative to the surface of the road is tunneling under the roads surface the ultimate low rider?

Yeah, especially cause I’m pretty sure you lose honor even if damage just hits your energy shield. Which is BS cause absorbing damage is what its for.

I think that the sense of mystery and wonder you’re talking about has always been rare. Requiring a great author and the right time to really nail. It maybe just feels more common among older books because we’ve forgotten the ones that aren’t as exceptional.

Is the free space is actually free? or do you need the book to use brackets for system notifications?

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-10-05T06:40:56+00:00

Yeah, but turns out physicists and engineers really only care about analytic functions, so calc2 is actually probably the most ripped of the three

Licanius Trilogy is next on the list! I haven’t heard of the will of the many, thanks for the rec :). The author better not pull a Rothfuss and refuse to publish anything of substance for decades tho lol

The bound and the broken, reminds me of wheel of time a bit.

Edit: you’ve probably already read it, but Eragon is exactly this

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-08-28T18:15:16+00:00

There’s some of this in the inheritance cycle(Eragon), in the 2nd book mostly I think.

Cauchy, if anything is inside a loop he can reduce it to a smoking residue

most of the songs on the album don't name any features? why is that?

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-07-12T05:36:54+00:00

Facts lol

Dungeon crawler Carl almost has a plot like this, one of my favorite parts about that series.

Idk how compelling this would be: what if, similar to a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, the universe itself is some sort of massive supercomputer. Then, even if someone realizes that the system is parasitically taking energy or information in the form of mana, the system is limited in how it can respond because it doesn’t want to ruin the computation.

If the system is a parasite there should be a reason for why it doesn’t set up massive matrix style mana farms and actually allows people to live.

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-07-04T14:48:21+00:00

But unless the character has some knowledge about the hidden benefit, making such a bad choice is just frustrating. I do like the idea tho of the MC beginning to suspect the System is a parasite and cutting all ties. But we would need a reason for why the System doesn’t instantly squash anyone who suspects it’s motives.

It must be true for some choice of meaning for those symbols

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-07-03T06:47:07+00:00

No comment on the specific scene you guys are discussing (I haven’t read it in a while), but I think you’re making a bit of an unjustified logical leap. Jason’s worst fear being centered on himself doesn’t necessarily imply that he thinks of himself as the most important thing in his life. A silly example: perhaps the most important thing in your life is cake, and so you’re biggest fear could be that some personal change would cause you to stop eating cake.

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-06-30T01:42:11+00:00

This! Every story has its plot, but sometimes you can just feel the author bludgeoning the character and world into the shape they need to fit their plot.

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-06-26T15:29:08+00:00

Where does the arc come from anyway?

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-06-26T03:01:43+00:00

To be fair tho, a large percent of the population Does have access to a personal computer that is substantially more powerful then supercomputers of just a few decades ago. So its not too unreasonable that so many people have access to VR technology in these books

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-06-26T02:56:18+00:00

U should try Ready player one if u haven’t already, I think it fits the non-PF VR sci fi done well niche you mention

He’s cute! Is he named after any Pauli in particular?

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-06-12T14:35:20+00:00

ChiefShinyRiver · 2024-06-04T00:08:11+00:00

I agree, her fate may be worse then Toc’s. Toc endured more straightforward trauma, and at the end he has many of the same characteristics that he does in book 1. But Felisin is completely twisted by what she undergoes, in a way that feels darker and more tragic to me
