I loved the first one but to me The Great Hunt is one of my favorites and it really starts getting the ball rolling.

I disagree

Magic can logically exist in a scifi setting if say, the replication of magic is a difficult thing, or if conservation laws are violated in arbitrary ways. Say one guy uses every fiber of magic in his body and can create a banana, but a child half his size can move stars. What's importance is the wonder of magic, and the inexplicability of it. "This guy can do x, but no one else can" or even "This guy did x once, and we know he did it, but he can't seem to do it again with the same result."
Scifi magic MUST be soft magic, hard magic systems in scifi aren't magic, they're just gonna end up being something like genetically engineered psychics like in Starcraft.

Star Wars works because the force is pretty vague about how it works and 99.9% of the universe will never live to see it in use because force sensitives are an insane minority of minorities and most people don't even acknowledge that the Republic's deep state religious zealot paramilitary order is magical and that it's all a charade

I actually think I'm ADHD I can't focus on any one thing it's really getting in the way of things but I don't want to get on medication at all. WWJD

Rich tard fuck off.

Is Kemal any good? I own one of his books i've yet to read (Memed, My Hawk) and i constantly see his other books in secondhand bookstores dirt cheap, which is rarely a good sign.

That's because much like the techbro age, Gilded Age/Industrial Revolution was filled with enterpreneurs and inventors who dreamt big to advance society but also had massive egos and corrupt tendencies. The sleaziness of tech elites (whether it be Bezos,Musk,Nadella, and so on) parallels with the likes of Gilded/Industrial elites (Rockefeller,Ford, Carnegie, and so on). But the benefits and good deeds of the latter were far more prominent and tangible (outside exceptions like Gates and maybe Jobs). Not even the AIs (which are fairly flawed and limited) and smartphones can match up with the rise of cars,planes, and radios

>not even the entire Olympus can stop me
>implying Zeus' flabbers wouldn't be absolutely gasted by the dude that made his thunderbolts and managed to trap Hera, Ares, AND Aphrodite in order to humiliate them all in front of the other gods
>implying the forge god wouldn't thunderclap Zeus' cheeks so badly that his next invention would be a wheelchair for the old man because he'll never walk again

Basically a black kid says it and you have to kneel in front of him and buckle his shoe, then he "punks" you by kicking you in the face, but if you don't kneel you're racist so you get wrote up.

gonna go ahead and keep this on the cat. ordered some Bukowski, against my instincts, but they wont show up until the 17th! damn. what am I in for? I worry that he actually wont be cynical enough for my liking. I fear he wont take it all the way and instead will have some cop-out cope bullshit message, which is exactly why he is so popular.

Have you ever heard of punctuation?

>>23455720
ok

He’s not my victim life isn’t a movie where there’s a hero and a villain and you actually don’t know how to imitate him because you are not him and you could never be him and I’m not the schizo you are an evil person who likes tormenting people and kicking them while they are down

>>23455543
No

>1,2 buckle my show
I just laughed for a solid 20 seconds at this. What is the context of it? I imagine it as a way of ending a conversation similar to 'whatever'
