Old Kentucky Shark posted:At Chernobyl the control rods, which were the only mechanism in the entire process capable of acting as a nuclear de-ccellerant, were inexplicably* capped with graphite, which is an extremely flammable nuclear accellerant. Yes, let's build a water displacer into the end of our rods. We can't have that pesky water slowing down the reaction during regular operation, can we? Oh, there will be a little spike when we insert the rods, but I'm sure it will be fine. And I suppose we'll have to keep the graphite cool, so we'll just put another water circuit on them. I'm sure the tight fit required for cooling won't slow down the only part of the reactor which is absolutely required to move into position with maximum speed and confidence. Every time I think about the reeeealy old-fashioned reactors I get this chill up my spine and resolve to stay as far away as possible.

Tollymain posted:this craft sequence sounds neat tho. is that the one where theres a computer made of demons who drool or dont drool as 1s and 0s One of my biggest complaints with the worldbuilding is it felt inconsistent re: what modern urban things are reinvented for this necromantic-fantasy setting, and which are played completely straight. For example, there are hospital room descriptions containing those metronomes (fantasy) alongside straight up plastic ventilator/oxygen tubing (non-fantasy); and cargo "trucks" pulled along by magically animated golems instead of having engines...yet still emit the scent of motor oil? etc. But honestly I could leverage the same complaint about Throne and yet I don't feel compelled to, so I dunno. Maybe the mixture works better in a visual medium or something. vvvv That's how those things came across to me, yea. Him writing the modern world, layering his "leverage souls as collateral lol" stuff on top, and then neglecting to consider some of the minor details that jump out to anal-retentive nerds like me. bitprophet fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Jan 12, 2019 |

Though thinking of him reminds me of one of those Craft references that gets repeated so often it annoys me - "pre-mortem exercises"  (again, I think my problem may have been binging the series, that stuff is surely more amusing and less irritating if you're only reading one such book every few years.)To be on topic, I want to add my 2c to the pile of "getting some internal monologue from Allison is nice and I hope we get more". Kung fu demon hijinx and angel drama is great but I like how Operant never loses sight of the "our protagonist is still just human" core.

Normal people do, but normal people don't Voltron all aspects of their personality together into a single self-actualized mind in order to wrest control via self-love from the personified Id controlling their body. Fortunately, my self esteem isn't tied to my posting.

One of the aspects of her personality that she voltroned into the mix was "Body Image Issues", so she keeps having body image issues. Makes sense to me.

To the second point, she's already seduced a powerful magic using fiend and has power that could bend the multiverse, all she needs is some anxiety about her mortality to drive her to make some (more) really bad decisions.
