I felt with the Dune saga the same way I felt with Hyperion. Authors made a masterpiece first book with amazing ideas, but decided to go on a different approach with the second book onwards

Forest looking a bit dark there

hey, I got that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference ^^

Worldbuilding is great and you want to avoid blatant retcons if you can but one of the bits of advice I was given when looking to write about things was about the importance of just writing the damn thing. Allowing for mystery or even unreliable testimony/narrators also really invigorates your writing and things like your characters, prose and how you show people around your world. Hell, I've been looking to play around more with 'thisness' in how I describe things and that just isn't writing advice you get most places.

Ok this made me giggle

Type I was the average exurbia video

He might be me..

I've read Sanderson's Mistborn twice, Stormlight twice, I've read the companion book, I've read stuff on the Coppermind website multiple times...I still went crosseyed during the exchange between Sanderson and that fan.

[BIG SPOILER] - - - - - - - ------------------------------About the pipe: When I first read it (yesterday) I got the feeling that it when he emprisioned the dark one with the 3 powers, he somewhat blended all powers together and it changed the nature of the One Power, into something unified and not divided anymore in saidin,saidar or truepower. And in this case it might be possible that the "new" power would work differently. What made me think of it was also Aviendha's vision of her daughter and the way she just channeled naturaly, without thinking. But now that I read comments with the other possibilities...I don't know anything anymore and guess I never will haha

There's also the third type of Sci-fi world-builiding:where the aliens are literally just people too,with the same character strengths and flaws as any human.

An allegory for humanity vs. an allegory for humanity

Type I: The most important conversation about sci-fi humanity, its origins, its foundation, and its meaning to justify its perseverance for advancement and survival. Type II: The regular everyday life of sci-fi humanity.

Dude doesn't even know Azorgelel

our only love for creation is creating new ways to better kill ourselves

People in this comment section are confusing Racism, Speciecism and Xenophobia.

I first I was like "I'm not the first one" but I'm not the second at all so I'm mildly like the first one.

I’m type one, but my characters are definitely not looking back at me and smiling, more cursing my name and lineage

type 2 is being racist against humans for being racist

1. Warhammer 40k 2. Mass effect

It was funny until it became communist propaganda at the end wtf was that about

so what books are required reading for this video?

bookshelf tour when?

Type I: complex, authors political views, immersive Type II: Simple, literally trying so hard to be fun

If I recall weren't all men supposed to be allowed to just "pass on" before the dementia and degrading body stuff kicked in? Like they would be able to "sense" when that stuff was coming and they could go before they degraded. Morgoth was the one who introduced the idea of fearing death and that made people "hang on" until the mental and physical issues came in and eventually death forcefully took them.

You forgot #3: Wake up with total amnesia

I once proposed to r/Fantasy that maybe instill a rule to not recommend books in the top 10 of the sub wide survey (Cosmere but also includes ASOIAF and Lord of the Rings), and have automod direct to that list on every recommendation thread, and people said I was cramping on their fun, so I tried.

Anything in parentheses lmao

Hard Scifi starts with Jackson's electrodynamics

And both are scrumptious pieces of media

In the first half I thought that second half will go humans are space orcs route.

The Stanley Kubrick bit at the end was great, should've had the guy who said what taking a sip of a glass of milk for some reason then be like, "what?"

I did this when I was a kid

watching ur mouth move when u talk is such a strange experience

Speaking to my soul at this moment. I’m stuck in a game jam as an editor with the head writer literally being exactly like the one here in the sketch. I’ll be stealing “cow tools writer” from this sketch. It’s unbelievable. Honestly. But yeah there are people out there who are really like this. And yes, it’s a unique personal hell being the editor for a “cow tools writer” let me tell you.

Damn, i feel stupid now😑

I love how sociologically reviewing this entire video is, like it speaks on all of human existence from an optimist and a pessimist perspective, it’s actually so insightful lol

One thing I've always hated in sci-fi is when a super advanced spacefaring alien shows up and rags on earth for how poorly it treats its environment, like the immense infrastructure for space travel and advanced technology didn't harm their home planet. I at least want a better explanation than just space hippy magic.

Syladin makes as much sense as Ash dating Pikachu

Is Sapiens the same?

By love, you mean democracy!!!! 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥

Love both of them. Despite second one smells communism, but in fiction that's ok. Type 3: seriously invents a whole new world with deep and interesting characters, humor and vivid emotions, though, preserving relative scientificness.

I’ve been on both sides of this😂😂😂😂 I’ve had recomended series. Read the first and my adhd makes me get hyper focused and only read that entire series within a year. And I’ve also been the one to recommend a series and had said person do the same thing (but not actually read the book) just so that they had something in common with me (my family does a lot of stuff only to find common interest with me)

No. There's only 2 types of aliens: -Communists -Bugs

Shaddam IV is suprinsingly a good supportive father figure here. Heavy is the crowned head or whatever ^^

Oh, yes, a jew is trying to subvert people. What else is new?

Could you list the fairytales you talked about?

I thought this was gonna be a jab at the way authors design the worlds themselves, like 1: Technology is a symbiosis with organic life. A new era of prosperity and willpower has brought man to the stars. 2: Aight, so the sentient mech thing was NOT a good idea…

humans in fact are driven by the urge to destroy

I've always despised the handwaving nonsense of what almost all Scifi is as of late, but I'll take that and get a good laugh over anybody like this in a heartbeat.

Wait, am I supposed to read prologues?
