Dayle's Charge

War Journal

My advisor never told me I'd need to write this many nonce jokes. Informed choice my rear.

As an invincible youth, I enjoyed Iron Man: Hypervelocity. The miniseries followed Tony Stark on a doomed high-speed mission—standard stuff. Then you learned that Tony's been out of commission since Issue One, and an AI-driven suit has led the daredevil action thus far. Less standard stuff! A soft pilot, even.

In a lunatic meta way, it added to the stakes. The nameless machine could fail, go nuts, or be killed off without hurting the brand. That's fun in a cape book. In a given issue of Spider-Man, he's not going to miss the catch on a civilian. Except, you know. That was also special.

My point? Today, it's a little disappointing to learn that the Tony AI would talk in stolen Rick & Morty dialogue, generate noncon erotica on command, and read save as purge half of the time. Alas.

Discord, on multiple fronts, seems to be stretching for a investor-friendly dive into the lava. That stings, when a few of my digital refuges reside there. Perhaps I should make a show of being used to the rise and fall of platforms--I had two thriving outposts decide /pol/ antics were more feature than bug.

Perhaps it's nothing. The futures I read in bones often are. In fact, I hope I'm wrong much more often. Did you see Post-Atomic Stress? I can't handle much more prophecy.

In any case, the pattern's frustrating. The Substack madness set my reach/growth/harvest of glorious attention back a century. Though at least Ghost is pretty. And hey, if you can't be successful, why not be pretty?

February's stunt sport: Run It Straight. Two doomed, unarmored men sprint directly at each other. The loser falls. The other player also loses, but gets a bigger payout.

This madness sprang up in Australia, which makes me, somehow, even more disappointed in America. The home of Power Slap and Concussionball got beaten to this madness? Now I know this country's lost. The Australian Century begins.
