The Steadfastness of Dual-Wielding

You can complain about common fantasy depictions of dual-wielding all you want, but it is, always has been, and forever will be super cool. That doesn't mean you can't go for a more realistic version though. That will also be super cool.

Addendum

As for cubits, well, they sound related to geometry and thus are better ignored. We have to keep things simple and heroic.

Currency Revolution

We should probably talk about talents more in fantasy, but the problem with that is figuring out what in the world a talent is, a difficulty for both the author and the audience. However, if we just think of it as "a big chunk," it becomes a convenient sort of measurement.

Unwise Victories and Their Consequences

A battle beyond numbers and courage, beyond strategy, beyond description! Ultimately, the champions of Law triumphed and expelled Chaos forever. Jubilant, they assembled to hear the vision of their trusted leaders.
"From now on, all these terrible practices can be properly forbidden: Murder, fraud, and taking stuff out of treasure chests that aren't yours without permission."
Stunned, the champions recalled the warnings of the sages of Balance that the world needed Law and Chaos both! But what use was regret then?

Adaptation Corner

For an Ethshar video game, let's see, I think a Majesty-type game would work. Oh, you want it to be successful? Extraction shooter. What do you mean, you were serious about wanting it to be a successful new game? Nobody makes those nowadays. All right, fine, open-world game with Arkham Asylum combat it is.

Addender

Or use a speaker, but in that case it should be a really crackly speaker like the one on the Wii controller.

Addendum

As for the body part, that's flexible too, but ideally it should have or be able to produce a face in order to exclaim, "No! That's impossible!" when everything goes just the way we know it will.

A Clarification of Terms

There's some latitude when interpreting "indestructible." For instance, someone granted the divine boon of being unable to be killed in the day or the night can be considered indestructible despite the obvious circumvention of blowing up the sun first.

Trends 4.7

Abort: Sphinx riders.
Forte: Indestructible fighting bodies.

AI Safety

At the very least, we should make every AI that gives itself an indestructible fighting body register its fingerprints, right?
