Alright, time's up let's do this
I’m going to try to give you the actual book reviews sort of separately from my own meandering, froo-froo way of looking at the world so you can choose your experience, but I make zero promises. To be honest I just sort of sit down and let my hands go and that’s how I find out what I think about stuff.
Without you, the reader, I would be less free to explore my self. Have you ever tried to practice playing chess alone? The weird sense of disconnect from the game? It’s like that.
Terry Pratchett wrote a whole beautiful novel on the premise that a letter that is sent demands to be read, that information yearns to be shared. I think it’s telling that so many of us have this immediate, natural compulsion to share our discoveries; to drag another ape over and make them witness that we have made fire.
In that way, I think society is baked right into our programming. The natural inclination, outside of late-stage zero-sum capitalism, is to get everybody you can up to wherever YOU are so that they can help YOU go even further. You see this almost immediately in the online community of any video game. A wikia page goes up on the day of launch and is populated with tips and discussion right away.
So my goal here is to convince you, and hopefully everybody else, that this game is PvE.
Players vs. Entropy.
Just because you’re level 23 right now with all plain gear and you spent a bunch of skill points badly when you had no idea what you were doing, doesn’t mean you can’t become the sickest motherfucking wizard on Azeroth.
People will help you, if they can and if you let them. All you gotta do is help them too.
See you on the front lines, soldier.
