... of all the places I expected to find the old pair of crutches these people were looking for, "In a small tree" was not among them. Apparently they'd been sitting on something long enough for greenery to grow over them.

Why they were sitting out in open air as opposed to basically anywhere else, to the point that they ended up as something's impromptu trellis, I don't know.

Also, this timeline's journey to being as absurd as possible will be complete when the baby boomers become the first generation to become immortal. I can imagine that 250 years from now, the world is just plunged into constant war between boomers and millennials, both rendered immortal by technology.

I for one tentatively welcome the coming of Total Annihilation's plot hook. Here's hoping it, too, comes with space magic nanotech.

Gods, I can't and probably wouldn't recommend doing it, but a lot of martial arts fantasy -- check, say, novelupdates -- involves those things in a sort of conceptual sense. They just also happen to largely be barely mitigated shite in terms of general quality and their outlook towards reputation and a good name is more like an excuse for mass murder and atrocity. Focus also isn't uncommon to see, being an aspect of the general punch magic fantasy thing!

It's just. Hell. Wuxia/Xanxia/etc. -- largely stuff translated, mostly unofficially, from chinese/korean/japanese (in roughly that order in terms of proportion) -- hits pretty much all of that request just in like probably the worst ways possible :V

... I read bunches of the stuff, lately, 'cause people throwing landscape at each other apparently really does it for some part of my brain, but I can't really recommend any off the top of my head 'cause they're largely just kinda' terrible.

E: And most of the stuff I've read that approached decent veered pretty hard from those sorts of themes so welp. Basically I'm saying go to novelupdates, sort by hits/views/popularity/whatever-it-is, and you'll have as good if odds of hitting what you're asking for (if not actually looking for) as me trying to recommend one.

That's been proven to be insufficient, too, though

Think the only 100% guarantee we've seen that a (US) cop won't kill you is to already be dead before they get there.

... I mean, Obama's recently made some, ah. Comments. But how exactly is this person coming to that conclusion...?

Huh, I didn't notice that with the shadows somehow. I'm sure someone who is good at math can figure out how far apart the two suns would have to be in order to produce the shadows like that. Though Abbadon probably isn't sweating the astrophysical details and just saying 'there are two suns'.

Why just two, though? There could be more suns, some hiding behind things or in some old lady's cookie jar. I'd go with at least four! Actually I'd go with like fifty but there being portals they bounce around so you only ever see two. The quick way of travelling between worlds would involve playing stellar dodgeball as you pass through the sun pipes~

...

well, then I'd realize the horror I've conceptualized and have something eat all this excess daystar, the damnable glitterbastards

...

Seriously though this is largely a punch magic setting and one where multiple worlds are apparently a thing. There's room for as many sunjerks as the author cares to jerk.

One my computer pretty certainly couldn't run worth a damn, if at all *grumbles*

Might be getting a new computer later this year (mostly due to steam's whole "have some extra fuck you, poor bastards still stuck on Vista" thing), but that's later this year
