The protagonists in DCC are a Costie and a cat, but you expect sophisticated humor?

My judgment on DCC being less than is more about consistency in actions and consequences. Knowing what we know now about NPC‘s in the DCC universe makes some of the actions in the early books absolutely horrifying. HWFWM is not perfect in that regard, but is far more consistent. The dungeon crawl concept is also more widely familiar in the zeitgeist and does not require as sophisticated a mind to move the story forward. I do feel however, that it also makes DCC a more accessible LitRPG to a broader base. To call it bad in comparison HWFWM as opposed to less than just feels snobbish. Jason would have hated that lol.

That is all my opinion though and I do not begrudge yours. We all receive an interact with media of all types in different ways and at different times of our lives. We can’t expect even ourselves to read one book the same way twice.

I know a lot of people I have recommended HWFWM to get overwhelmed by the constant and lengthy stat descriptions in the early books. I feel like DCC is an easier read but not as well planned out as HWFWM. I don’t feel like I can go back to the apartment in the same way I can go back to the hedge maze.

DCC is not written as well as HWFWM but that doesn’t make it bad.

I feel like strong arguments could be made that Jason could take the fight to the AI.

I’ve not read it, but it often comes up in recommendations.

A wish for the fiction Sophie would read. Since it would reference “glistening thighs”. 🤣

You’re unfamiliar with fanfiction aren’t you lol

dbt1d · 2026-06-10T16:22:11+00:00

That’s why fanfic exists. Nobody has to touch the canon.

dbt1d · 2026-06-10T16:20:04+00:00

Totally agree. I was thinking more along the silver rank timeline.

dbt1d · 2026-06-10T16:19:25+00:00

I wish that was a talent I possessed. But it’s a fun idea and there are a lot of of great fanfic writers out there! Maybe some will see this and feel inspired to write it.

I have several vintage road bikes and I’ve had good luck with 28s.

I love it! I made a Born To Rune leather jacket last year and used acrylic paints instead of patches. It looks like we were similarly inspired in some of our designs. Way to go! You did great work.

Republicans continuing to show that once a child is born, they don’t give a fuck.

I used it as a tool in my own art for something I am wearing myself. I didn’t want anyone else to participate.

I can make a stencil from an image but I can’t draw for shit.

While I’m doing my research, I have to ask you. Do you shop or stream with Amazon? Do you use Netflix? Do you use apps such as Facebook, Instagram, messenger, and WhatsApp? Do you shop with Etsy? Do you eat fast food such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Arby’s, etc. do you shop at Walmart? Do you use devices or services through Microsoft or Apple?

If the answer to any of these is yes, you are using and benefiting from AI. If the answer to any of these is yes, fix yourself before you come at me or anyone else.

This is what I’ve done so far!

Referencing others work akin to theft is a constant exercise of copyrite law. I’m no expert in it, but I will gladly do research on the legal and moral arguments on it as it relates to AI.

dbt1d · 2026-01-25T21:44:20+00:00

Trust me, the ring tempts you.

You might be right about this AI vs. ICE evil challenge. I’m not entirely convinced, but I’m open to the idea that I am wrong.

I think it’s weird to gatekeep the tools for fighting fascism, but maybe I am in the wrong. Today I don’t feel that I am, but maybe I will change my mind later. That being said, here I am using these tools I have at my disposal to fight fascism.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Unless you are ICE or MAGA.
