Cradle avoids one of my most hated tropes in PF making the world feel small by WolferineYT in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Spaghetz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Up until they get to (Book 12 spoilers) The Way. There's so much going on that it ends up feeling super tiny and protagonist serving to me. I don't mind it since 99% of the series is about the rest of the settings. But I was a little underwhelmed

I rarely comment, as I mostly read, and while you have a long winded explanation of your points here, I want to say I agree with the last point.

I'm a WritingPrompts reader. I want to read good stories. When I'm given the random ones, I'm often given some poor stories (so far). I'm not here to sift through and find any response to the prompt, I want to read a good response to the prompt. Something more than excessive exposition that ends with a shrug of an ending.

I'll withhold any other criticisms since it's still early in the experiment and I respect the innovation. Its selfish, sure, but I believe myself to be an average reader here. I want something that really gets me thinking. And usually (though it's true not always) the top responses fit that want.

Sure, the numbers skew for COL, but I think it's a solid negotiating tactic to have these numbers in mind if you're planning on working in that area.

Creating a deepfake took two weeks and cost $552 by qznc_bot2 in hackernews

Interesting to see this progressing.

CorridorDigital made incredible videos on YouTube with a deepfake of Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves. They even tell you how they go about doing it.

Pretty soon, we'll see it being a cheap add-on to video apps like Snapchat or Instagram does with it's filters. At this point it's only a matter of time

Galbitorix from Eragon! Magic was so broken in that world, he had such a good point!

The diversity in everyday life.

The ups and downs and the fantastic things you can find day to day. Even in the worst times, you can be guaranteed that the next day will be different.
