@MutsukisChest@Gaigous +1 to this, also i believe that if AI inevitabley has to be downscaled, all of these data centers will be turned into cloud compute which will further incentivise making desktop pcs unaffordable.
@Kat_Says_Stuff I have a feeling the number although inflated, accounts for the direct cost of benefits, plus the lost cost from that person not reinvesting into the economy from earned monies that pays tax also.
@FACEIT_Darwin@Trucklover86@FACEITcs I think a cool idea would be that you cannot play the same map twice in a row perhaps? Or it makes you cycle through active duty maps till you have played each one then resets again

@patros36@chromat1cfire So the main character who is strong by default, consistently defeats his adversaries, has other powerful people around him constantly and collects women as he goes is some peak writing?
@soarin7even@fajyusuff@cvnide Hype moments and aura wouldnt have existed without good art, if it looked like other similar manhwa at the time it would have been forgotten
@soarin7even@fajyusuff@cvnide But you are saying it was popular because of the content, but we established the content was nothing groundbreaking, therefore it isnt the primary reason it did well imo
@soarin7even@fajyusuff@cvnide Just because people like it doesnt mean it is good! I like big macs, i like SL they are both objectively not good. There wasnt much around and it was a new to the west genre (manhwa as a whole)
@soarin7even@fajyusuff@cvnide Ns where u got GoH from, ive never even read the LN only seen the adaptation so i wont comment.
This thread was about ORV v SL and how newgen fans because of the adaptation think ORV is a imitation of SL, i think you have lost the point here.
@soarin7even@fajyusuff@cvnide Its because people still hold it to the highest these days, im afraid its just alright, and even back then it was, it was just new and niche that is all and everyone was naieve about what good writing actually is.
I love slop, i will continue to read slop, alas slop is slop.
@soarin7even@fajyusuff@cvnide Yes but there were many alternatives around, none of which are anywhere near as popular as SL, my point is that the crazy good for the time artwork is what made SL famous ultimatley, along with good release timing.
