Ai is very bad for the environment, because to run it it needs massive amounts of water and it gets contaminated, massive amounts of electricity, and massive amounts of theft of intellectual property to reach any kind of 'usable' state. That's the moral/ethical argument. The other side is a...

Depends on how 'moral' the moral antagonist really is. I'd say the best ending is for them to be confronted in some way by the wicked means they've used to accomplish their goals, and more specifically be shown another way. For some, this could lead to them changing their methods, and no longer...

I have music on in the background for everything I do besides sleeping. And it can't just be the same music, I have to constantly find new music because I get used to it and then it becomes just noise that I don't even register. And it can't be just any new music, it has to be stimulating in the...

I forget the title but I believe it's by Pancakewitch? Or pancakeswitch. Something like that. Edit: Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

The easiest method? Forget stats altogether. Ultimately, they aren't valuable to the reader, and they're a lot of work. Number go up becomes monotonous and gets skimmed over. Systems are more satisfying when they use milestone mechanics, new skills and new functions to preexisting skills are...

cloud edit- nvm that's not manmade ?‍♀️ Kidnapper van.

Yes. I am a monster from beyond the pale, born of void, glass, and blood, and you should fear me. The Maw is hungry.

I'm literally studying these drawings to improve my own-

I don't know if that's really a problem, that's just the precursor to a lot of time world building the mechanics behind the magic system. It's essentially how I built mine. I took the ideas I wanted, and then figured out how to make it make sense. Using the example of elemental magic. Where...

That's a very common trope, but one that I personally dislike. It feels like putting the cart before the horse. To my understanding, a god is a powerful being, who's sheer influence draws people to worship and pray to them in the hopes to gain their favor, or avoid drawing their ire. Their...

Divinity, to me, is concentrated conceptual power. Power over a concept, and/or the power that comes from understanding, calling upon, and/or embodying a concept. A being may hold divinity through understanding and/or embodiment of a concept, or there may be a metaphysical manifestation of a...

Any of the three or a combination thereof among save, judge, and self-isolate. Depends on the power and the scale, I guess. If things are too hopeless, there's also the secret option, suicide. I think the ideal scenario, is having supreme magical power, including the ability to forge...

I follow a story that I'm actively reading, have caught up with/completed, or caught enough of my interest that I might try and read it when I run out of things more enticing. I will favorite every chapter I read of a story that I think is good enough to bother reading, -atleast until I stop...

Wait, but technically... there would no friction, so you'd fall to the center of the earth, and out the other side, and either be able to rematerialize there for quick travel across the globe, or fall all the way back to where you started. And if you were moving while you did that, you'd keep...

Price: You'll always be in a delirious haze when using the power, getting worse the longer you do so

Mmmmmm. As SternenklarenRiter said, I wouldn't be worried about identity stuff. Every single moment, the past you 'dies', and you are a new version of you, slightly different. But you are still you, and you haven't really died. Because you've had a continuous stream of consciousness. The merging...

Well, I'm certainly not gonna be my own servant, but I wouldn't try to kill me, either. And I wouldn't be using the power thinking of my clones as expendable. A clone is somewhere between a second self, and an identical twin. To be respected as their own individual when they wish for it to be...

Vigor Mortis! Thundamoo!! The good shit, but I can't read her anymore, for the sake of my mental health... :,v
