sorry, ive been off for a while, id respond to more people individually but a lot of people showed up lol thank you all for being supportive, its definitely made me feel a bit better. i think i just needed this space where people could understand the frustration to vent a bit.

Right?!? But that's partly why it stung so much. AI?!? This dude is gonna sit here and say the AI did better than me?!!? Actual physical assault on my life with one sentence lol

I know logically that I should let this slide off me, I think part of the reason has been my depression mindset that I'm trying to work through. But like, getting told AI of all things was better was an actual slap in the face holy crap lol As for ideas I feel like I'm on the other side...

I know logically such a thing shouldn't bother me, both on the account of AI (ew) and someone's criticism, but i have to admit, this one hurts. A lot. Basically I was talking about some of my story ideas that I'm using, and idk if it was a bot that does it automatically, or just someone using...

id say there is a lot of other information to come to a "correct" answer for yourself. On a base line "is this possible?" absolutely. In older times the christian god was often thought of in this way. king of kings, lord of lords, god of gods. A god in charge of other gods. You could also look...

I think I would be interested in making something like this sometime, though I think it would be its own thing since the magic system I've mentioned here is in many ways so connected to our world science. Of course on the other hand, this project has been my baby and sometimes I have to pry my...

I really like this idea, at best it's a good way to accrue energy or make new sources of mana, at worst its a problem that seems like it could swiftly snowball out of control if the amount of mana needed to equalize is just, to much :0 Though I supposed I'm making assumptions that it can be to...

It is fascinating to see others’ ideas on concepts I come up with because it lets me see things I barely even considered when making them lol, beyond the idea of magic overriding physics mostly for the concept of energy creation, physics and chemistry where the farthest things from my mind when...

If you figure it out let me know lol I've been having a similar issue where my next chapter is kinda transitional. I need it but its kinda boring and I keep putting it down and picking it back up and changing it and adding and removing and it makes me not want to work on it much @~@ Though...

Unfortunately, when I get into a similar spot I end up having to decide what to ax and what to keep. As hard as it can be to toss ideas you like, some pruning can do wonders for story, plot, development etc. And trust me, I have stories I've been mulling over for many years, and deciding that...

Thank you! It means a lot lol, especially with this old idea. This one is definitely my baby so I can be somewhat hesitant to change things, however I was always worried the magic would be seen as too plain, or as I can imagine since it was a very large inspiration at a lot of steps, just being...

lol Yeah, I can say that the idea behind this was always based in science and can understand why its not to your taste. To be specific evolutionary biology. Of course as this post is like, two years old my understanding of the science has grown some, thought part of the reason it has to do...

for anyone stumbling across this old old post, the idea of the cores is kinda stupid and i wrote it really stupidly lol magic is genetically related but saying it the way i did was an awful way of saying it lmao

So as to be somewhat organized, I’m going to go down like a list and bring up stuff as it is brought up in your explanation. I assume this entity has a reason for what they did, and that it might be explained in the story? I’d be interested into the reasons why as a hook in the story. For now...

I should actually get around to reading Dune lol Yes, if you make a new contract it would get rid of all power from the previous Force, at a meta level, it’s just cuz I didn’t want to mix two powers at once. At a narrative level, although it isn’t something I plan on getting into if I ever go...
