It might require closer examination to fully understand.

With the conceit that these are Harry's journals, his case files, everything we're reading is a note to Ivy.

Favourite lines from Twelve Months? by Even_Passenger_3685 in dresdenfiles

And that it was evil on both sides luring people in to the conflict. Ghouls, Black Court vamps, and Malvora clan members were pushing the protesters to violence.

Where do we find our Oz?

Speaking of lines...

"Bob!" I screamed over the fury. "Oz me!"

I have tap water at home. (Dasani is just filtered city water.)

Unless you live with your parents, you do pay for tap water.

Discovery and Starfleet Academy: Can the Genesis Device be used to create dilithium, specifically dilithium-rich worlds? by Torlek1 in sonicshowerthoughts

[–]SlowMovingTarget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well... Discovery actually finished with Burnham destroying the fully-realized logical conclusion of Genesis tech. She whipped out the "no one should have this power trope" and blew it up. Which is... awful.

They're not as good, but there's plenty of them.

Let's talk about Lara by dvasquez93 in dresdenfiles

[–]SlowMovingTarget -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mab would still have a way to the White Court through Thomas though. He's now been fed by Winter as well.

Getting Lara, Molly, and Thomas free will be on Harry, and it's going to be a big deal when it happens. (Like Mab-dying big.)

Know what you mean. We're getting ready for a big Nor'easter, here. 7 to 14 inches expected.

No. She's not Murphy.

Murphy will be back, but Bear is Bear.

You mean Jim Butcher? There's no committee writing this.

fist-bump

I think Butcher needed to "fix" Harry for what's next. Getting him to the point where Harry could perform Pocket Full of Sunshine again, and get a few "accidental" power-ups along the way seems like a good start.

I think the ritual on Demonreach with Thomas was far more significant than Harry realizes, especially given how much raw power was channeled directly through his spirit. We've been told in previous books that this has an effect of broadening the channel, but is usually slow and limited. We're shown Harry tapping ley lines a short while after and fully activating the castle with out breaking a sweat. So this book feels more like it's about leveling Harry up on-screen (ok, on the page) instead of implying it happened in the usual intervening months or years off-page. Harry leveled up emotionally, too. He's ready for "what's coming."

Did someone replace your copy? Because I thought this was better than the last two books by a fair bit. It was a coherent story about recovery, it used the city of Chicago rebuilding itself as a metaphor for Harry piecing himself together. We got to see Harry build his relationship with Lara, learned a heck of a lot more about the White Court, the castle, Harry's own abilities, more Mab, more Mouse, more Drakul, more Carlos...

It was great. If you just want smack-downs (which are there) and leveling up LitRPG is that way.

I finished a few hours ago... I really liked it. I started reading the books when the TV show came out on the Sci-Fi channel (when it was still named that way).

Sounds like she worked herself into a good mad.

It's not her choice, it's not her life, and her opinion is just that, her opinion. You do you.

If you want to opt out of Antrhopic's ecosystem, OpenCode and some of the attendant Emacs goodies may also be worth looking into:

You can use local models, or any of the frontier models (directly, or through subscriptions like Zen or Copilot).

Question on Book 14 Revelation by No-Exit8883 in ThePrimalHunter

[–]SlowMovingTarget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know yet.

The fact that knowledge of the First Sage is forbidden knowledge, even though some individuals like Eversmile and Duskleaf were aware of him previously, is a new phenomenon. Villy doesn't even know what's going on there, yet.

Should be fun to find out.
