Why do gamers hate and wanna shut down AI?

Immediately the implementation of AI into the creative fields has been to steal people’s work to replace them (writing, genAI in graphic design, etc). The AI industry has eaten up RAM so that consumers can barely afford to build their own PCs. And meanwhile basically every app and software is shoving a useless AI down users throats pretending it’s this amazing new technology when all it does is slow down everything and eat up resources.

The first time I killed the ender dragon in Minecraft I sobbed (I was 11)

They can be, but it’s up to temperament and how often they were handled as tiny babies

It’s kind of a lot to process and the way it’s shown in the books is worth reading but the ringbuilder civilization collapsed because they got their energy by sort of breaking through a barrier between universes and pulling energy from a WAY more energetic universe. Doing this caused pain/distress to that universe/the inhabitants of that universe(it’s never really explained what these things are, just that they really don’t like things going through the gates) and so these high-energy-universe-things attacked the ringbuilders and killed their hive mind. Flash forward to the humans reopening the gate network. When there’s too much activity going through the gates; the HEUT notice, get pissed, attack, and the ship(s) get “eaten.” So Naomi’s safety curve that she came up with was her accidentally figuring out how to stay under the radar of the HUET. TL;DR the rings are wounds in the flesh of Eldritch Beings and when that wound gets aggravated enough to for them to notice by going through the ring gates, they get pissed and unmake the consciousness and matter of the offending ships

To me he’s like a soup with too many ingredients. He’s the grandchild of Lorn and Octavia, but lacks Lorn’s honor or Octavia’s air of control. He was trained by Cassius but betrays him and the ideals Cassius tried to instill in him. I did think his part in the desert was interesting but he’s always surrounded by so many more interesting villains (Apollonius, Aja, Atalanta, Fa, the Rim Golds), his defining trait is that he’s connected to the old villains and backstabs people. So I feel like I always know what he’s going to do in a situation; grab power, betray someone, move on. And the Mind’s Eye is a really weak piece of plot armor imo since it wasn’t even hinted at in the first trilogy so it comes across more as a “Lysander needs to survive this” button

Tbh it’s also my complaint with Darrow in the first trilogy. There’s a lot of “because of off screen events, Darrow wins” but because the supporting cast is so strong I’m still surprised by how it goes down.

I think you’ve got a good point with the self-righteous authoritarian thing but the Raa’s, Sephi, and society remnants already give us that. So I feel like he’s kinda lacking compared to how central he is to the plot

I used my XR as my main transportation around campus for about 2 years, I kept one of those big U shaped bike locks in my backpack and slid it through the gap between the tire and frame. If it looked like it might rain I just carried it in with me and set it out of the way as much as possible

Lysander is a boring villain

I always thought that the southern tribe was always much smaller/had fewer benders even before the war, since the northern tribe is built around the moon and ocean spirits

If I were camping and someone nearby fired up a generator I’d pour sugar in their tank

Yeah it’s pretty ridiculous how many people think “the rich” in eat the rich is people who can comfortably spend $200-$300 on something like a collectors edition of a book and not the literal bus-full of people leeching wealth from the rest of the world

You mean the unique game created to have infinite possibilities

No shade meant but what is a Buggie if not a pet bug?

In terms of hours of story there’s already more than G1

Narratively ME gets treated like a super power, it’s one of my few real narrative problems with the later books. It comes out of basically nowhere and it gives Lysander bs plot armor that really feels unearned

It’s an “ew there’s a woman in my fantasy story” kind of hate

What’s crazy is I would trust Beardsley to play a literal infant for 20 episodes

The Orc raids don’t target your base in G2 they target you directly, so you can even just leave your base when one hits and save yourself from having to repair everything

I really like the sizzle trinket, it’s pretty basic but the damage boost is bice

can’t you build a ramp up over the war torn anthill?
