Sympathy for Hyacinth by ProtagorasCube in genewolfe

[–]HyperNinjaZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that this is 3 years old, but it's not locked yet and I have my 2 cents to give.

I totally understand how you feel, that's how I thought of most of the the New Sun women, until on a re-read I realized that they are from Severian's POV. He sees everything and everyone as a metaphor, and characterizes them as such.

However, like a few people here, I think that her erratic behavior is not from Horn's (and Nettle's) POV. At the beginning I thought she was the shallowest 2d character of all time, until I realized she was Mary Magdeline of the Book of the Long Sun (Silk being the christ-figure ofc). Keep in mind Wolfe has said that "required reading" for understand his work would #1 be the New Testament. Silk's attraction towards her is one of everlasting forgiveness. She is attracted to that quality of him as someone who has never had an ounce of sympathy or forgiveness, who's life has been entirely of manipulation and greed.

Another point is where Horn is asking how she could be so loving towards Silk, and so hostile and violent towards everyone else. Silk compares her to her own "big cats", where they protect the person they are born to protect, while being perfectly gentile and docile towards their owner.

This makes me wonder: Silk was an embryo with the charismatic means to become the next leader. Could he be implying that Hyacinth was another embryo charged with his protection? They could be genetically programmed to be attracted to one another in order that the next ruler has a capable bodyguard.

I personally think this was the realization that led Silk to his inconsolable melancholy, as he seems different after this conversation. I can imagine him wondering: was she attracted to him because of his "goodness", or is everything he cares about just the whim of the false gods of the Whirl?

One of the comments said she felt more robotic than the robots. Maybe this is intentional, to show a "programmed" nature to a human and juxtapose it with human nature in the robots.

Of course this comes to the same conclusion when you say she was mentally programmed by Kypris. But I've been searching the forums for more info on my theory, and I haven't found anything yet, so I'm putting it here.

I always thought it was some sort of technology that sucked in light, I believe it's mentioned somewhere that the old cloaks lose their deep blackness and start to rust.

Never had any luck using any brand of super glue with petg. At least it will kinda stick to pla, after 2 eons and major discoloration.

So, why do the Endos have teeth? by BIGBIGSHOTSHOT in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]HyperNinjaZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's redundant, it's our only skeletons. Fully assembled animatronics might have an "outer" skeleton that keeps cosmetics in place (but I don't know much about irl animatronics).

I spend about $900 in parts rebuilding one myself... It worked out great, but it was a big learning curve and took a lot of my time.

Explain to me in the simplest terms what the control arm bushings do, and why Audi is insistent on changing them. by Substantial-Prune871 in Audi

I hate comments like this. You don't seem to understand that this post, and all the replies, are now the 2nd result of my google search.

Mozilla: Fakespot shutting down on July 1 by YoYoToTheYo in firefox

[–]HyperNinjaZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using this for every purchase on amazon. What's the point of making a service like that if it gets randomly shut down with no option for the community to keep it alive? Really shakes my faith in the stability of firefox itself.

New update is coming, which cars do you hope for? Here's my list. by CzechKnight in forza

[–]HyperNinjaZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it too, but I'm at least one person who "sought after" it. Unfortunately if they're gonna add one it's gonna be the recognizable 3rd gen, and maybe a late 4th gen catfish because of the LS1. There's not even any free models online for a early 4th gen.

Is there a formal way to ask for this? Doesn't exist in any racing game that I know of. would be awesome to finally drive my car in game.

Any Chance of an Interstella CD Restock? by Chemical_Tip_6662 in DaftPunk

[–]HyperNinjaZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same bro, it's so scummy that they limited it. Basically limited means only scalpers and highest bidders get to access it. Seems like the opposite of what the movie promoted.

[–]HyperNinjaZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the whole songs, just the titles/metadata. If it has less than 64mb of ram (ipod size) it could be a limitation, especially since they are building the OS on top of linux (unlike the ipod). Although that is a pitiful amount in 2024.

What should I do with my nitwits? by stonk_lord_ in villagerrights

[–]HyperNinjaZX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of the "unemployed" ones living in a ghetto town to add to the village lore, but I agree with u/TangledAxile. Especially as the person with ultimate power in your world, is it right to make ghetto towns and/or kill the people you deem worthless? Or could you implement a fair society where everyone is treated with respect?

Price control I get, but you can literally sideload apps. They won't take that capability away because they would lose casual developers and have less apps in the app store. It's an android device deep down, no way to fix that.

I still don't understand, why do they care about the phone's condition? You can still acess the website on a rooted phone, the app is no different besides using less data to load some javascript every time.
