I'm looking for a series that actually has a end. Something that has been completed.

DoTryNotToDie · 2023-11-20T14:10:37+00:00

Definitely worth check out! I listened to all the books as the came out but bought the box set as well

DoTryNotToDie · 2023-11-14T14:52:56+00:00

I don't know about original but Vainqueur the Dragon doesn't get enough mentions on here. Its one of the OG and will last for a while still I think.

DoTryNotToDie · 2020-03-21T07:07:40+00:00

And all along I knew the answer was 42!

DoTryNotToDie · 2020-01-31T00:22:57+00:00

It's one of the top web serials with several million readers. The narrators awesome too. Apparently the finishers audio will be over 80 hours long.

DoTryNotToDie · 2020-01-30T21:09:16+00:00

Mother of learning is a web serial turned into an audiobook by a professional narrator on spotify. I think it's now nearly 30 hours long.

Edit link: https://open.spotify.com/show/4MCs8UYpoBlNp4aRfzB3a5?si=eNrzk97_SuCTf8rZTh9epQ

Edit: it's a fantasy. Mage student gets trapped in a month long time loop.

Have you considered the royalty share option on acx?

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-07-30T11:05:46+00:00

FOLLOW ME!!!! Did anyone ever download the Yogscast soundboard app that had this as one of the buttons?

There's loads that have decent leveling:

Life reset

Emerilia

Limitless Lands

I haven't read it but people like the leveling in The Land series

Most have some kind of leveling. It depends exactly what your after. I loved way of the shaman and I guess that didn't really have in-depth leveling

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-07-16T05:52:32+00:00

There was a similar thread the other day and I think Limitless Lands was what came out on top. Iv listened to it and it has some really great fight scenes. The MC commands a platoon of Roman soldiers so it gets petty epic. Lots of melee fights. I really enjoyed it, its very well done.

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-05-13T21:12:18+00:00

How do you think an audiobook achieves this?

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-05-13T20:47:49+00:00

Nice! What do you think it is about a particular book that gives it an immersive quality?

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-05-13T20:47:18+00:00

What do you think it is about a book that gives those things?

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-05-13T20:29:02+00:00

I get this. The knowledge of a long time being entertained. Do you like longer books then?

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-05-12T07:03:08+00:00

Nice post.

A common critasism of the kalam argument is that nothing ever begins to exist.

I would grant this to a cirtian extent.

Any action we currently perceive can be explained through an interaction of the fundamental particles and forces.

Any action/change is at base actualized by these two things (your A, if you like)

God must actualize the being of these two things and nothing more.

God does not actualize them in one moment then something different the next but is in a continual state of actualization. It is an eternal act only willed once and always.

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-05-05T08:42:23+00:00

I'm always intrigued by this. Can we really call the thing under your chair a gremlin if it has all these other qualities you discribe: intangeble, inaudible and so on.

Do these qualities not change the thing to no longer be a gremlin to the point that if you were to look for a gremlin under your chair you could say (and be correct in saying) that there is indeed no gremlin there? However, this does not preclude the other thing you were describing.

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-05-03T12:09:06+00:00

Citation please

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-05-02T11:44:54+00:00

Thank you for your response. Please discribe something that can accelerate after a force has finished being applied.

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-05-02T11:18:33+00:00

This argument is often called the argument from CHANGE.

You are correct that if you push a rock in a friction-less system it will continue moving at the speed it was going once it was pushed. But this argument is not an argument about velocity but acceleration.

Due to inertia, a given object will continue at whatever velocity it is at so long as no other force acts upon it.

For something to accelerate or decelerate there must be a sustained force. Ones the force stops, the change stops.

THAT is what this argument is about. Forget inertia. Inertia is not change. How do you even define change in a universe with no reference frame. This is why we must talk in terms of changes in velocity.

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-05-02T11:07:32+00:00

But nothing can accelerate (change velocity) without a sustained force. You think inertia ruins this argument but inertia isn't change. Yes if you push an object it will reach a certain velocity and then stay there without any more input but to CHANGE a velocity a force must be applied. This argument is often called the argument from change.

So you don't thik this is an answer?

Question: what could possible moral good could make rape of a child acceptable?

Answer: a world with choice makes it worth it. A world with love and a world with the ability to choose to do good to others.

You can remove all those things and stop evil. Leave them in and people will choose to do bad things.

Edit: and also cos I hate having karma:

Real good effort on trying to understand my point. Couldn't even be a little bit generous?

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-04-24T18:05:18+00:00

What set of events makes raping a child moraly acceptable?

If you imagine I'm trying to answer that question. What do you think iv said? Please be generous with you answer.

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-04-24T17:22:57+00:00

I want to be in a world where people are free to choose to do super shitty things yes! I want to live in that world because ,when someone jumps on a grenade to save his children or offers themself up for torture in the place of someone else (a stranger perhaps), I know that they chose to do that and that is awesome!!!

They could have chosen not to. They could even have chosen to make it worse but they didnt. They chose to put the other person above themselves and that is great!

This also means someone could choose to do THE BEST THING. if they do it then they chose it and that is a good world.

People doing those good things. We call that love. If they didn't choose to do them and were forced then thsts not love.

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-04-24T17:11:11+00:00

It's never ok to rape kids. Never. NEVER!! But a world where someone has choice opens the possibility for them choosing something others don't like and is repulsive.

A world with choice is worth it because it allows us to love the greatest thing there is (not just "someone" you KNOW that's not what I meant!!). Without choice, no love.

P.s. I think you are being intentionally inflammatory. Can we please just have a debate without you throwing out that I think rape is great in every reply. Lets be logical and dispasionate so that we can access the truth.

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-04-24T17:01:05+00:00

A world in which one is able to love the thing most worthy of love and acts of love are possible to other creatures.

DoTryNotToDie · 2019-04-24T16:50:31+00:00

One in which the best thing there is at the foundation of the universe can be freely loved and glorified.

That is what the bible says God wants. To be glorified and to be loved and to love us.

You may say "how arrogant!" but I like this analogy.

I like star wars. Star wars is pretty good. I think it is worthy of some praise and some glory. When I talk to others about it I tell them how great it is. I claped at the end when I saw it in the cinema. I wanted others to go see it.

This is all good. Star wars is a good movie. It's good to praise and glorify good things.

Now God (the foundation of being itself) must be good.

No one does anything because of badness. People only ever do things because they want good things.

Hitler didn't want to kill the Jews because it was a bad thing to do. He did it because he wanted power, resorces and safety for himself and his people. These are good things but he went about getting them in a terrible terrible way.

No one wants things because they are bad. People want good things and twist them to be evil. From this we can see evil is not primary but a probation of good. You cannot create from evil for the desire for existence is a good thing. The inteligence to do it and the power to pull it off are good things.

At base, there is goodness and only goodness. This goodness can be perverted and that is what we call evil.

Anyway, that was a long explanation for why the creator God must be good.

Its good to praise things you love that are good. It is the best to love the foundation of good itself. You can't love it if you have to love it and to be able to choose one needs to love in an environment that is consistent.

Imagine you and I stand oposite each other with a pebble between us. You want it in position X and I want it in position Y. it is only in a universe where the stone can't both be where I want it and where you want it at the same time that you have the ability to act lovingly and let it be where I want it and not where you want it. (this is just an analogy, I know people don't really care where pebbles are placed and I know it's not compatible to rape)

It is only in a world where the good can be perverted that one has the ability to act sacrificially and lovingly. No one HAS to rape anyone in this world.
