well, the ones I create are... uuuuusually too powerful for me to control, so I disperse them.

If something I make is too powerful for me to control, then I usually give it free will.

well I don't like to endanger my fellow pony.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

I'm all about endangering ponies! 

[Complexity 181]

The trick is not to create anything too powerful for you to control.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

I'm all about endangering ponies! 

and to think I was one more question of why I wouldn't marry you away from giving up and marrying you!

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

I usually don't, but every so often I just can't resist making an arcane superweapon and then giving it free will, just for fun.

I'm already married. It never would have worked.

BEFORE you were married.

[Complexity 181]

Such things as these may not have free will, as it goes against all general rules of production of highly dangerous things (PHDT)

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

BEFORE you were married.

Really? You would have married me?

Well, I've already given several arcane superweapons free will, and nopony has ever tried to stop me....

[Complexity 181]

That's a grave mistake. They will team up and take us down.

yup.

there is no reasoning with her...

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

I doubt it. Most of them are either destroyed or have peacefully integrated into society. 

yup.

I'm glad we never got married. You're a lawful good hero, and I'm a chaotic neutral bacon villain. We would never have gotten along...

[FortyTwo42 1,287]

I'm back! So, who are we going to fight with magical constructs, Stormgiggle?

you know what they say, opposites attract!

[Complexity 181]

It may seem like they've been fully integrated, but what's hardly observable (but nevertheless omnipresent) is their effect on society. People are uncomfortable around them. They're a bit odd, don't you think?

You'd be surprised. Ponies can be very accepting... 

 

you know what they say, opposites attract!

So you would have helped me in my evil schemes?

Complexity.

*bonks him in the head with "sleep stick"*

 

There ya go

you're now asleep

Woona, you can't just hit people with your sleep stick!

 

At least buy them dinner first!

Seriously, guys? That's not how you get somepony to sleep.

 

You gotta use a frying pan.

 

Anyway, I'm about to start making some infrastructure in Minecraft. I spent the past day and a half building a bridge that extends from a swampish area to a mountain, and now I got bored of it and I want to start making some machines. Any recommendations, among the options of Industrialcraft, Thermal Expansion, Factorization, Ender IO, and Thaumcraft?

I'm not sure if that's entirely true. After all, what if magnets have a north, south, and west pole?

[FortyTwo42 1,287]

Complexity.

We're fighting complexity? But, I love complexity! I don't want to hurt it...

I love Thaumcraft! 

[Complexity 181]

That's true. However, the arcane superweapons aren't ponylike! They can't fit in to ponykind. They'll do something weird, I'm sure, while all we're doing is arguing!

 

(I've been reading Isaac Asimov's Foundation series lately, and these logical/linguistic/dialogue battles are prominent in that series.)

 

(I also can't help pointing out that this whole debacle is about nothing.)

I just use vanilla Minecraft, so I can't really help there... Unless you're happy with something made from redstone from the few parts available in vanilla Minecraft, but you can probably make something much better than that in your mods.

You've never even met complexity! I swear, it's like you have some sort of aversion towards random acts of violence!

That's true. However, the arcane superweapons aren't ponylike! They can't fit in to ponykind. They'll do something weird, I'm sure, while all we're doing is arguing!

I think you're being paranoid! What's the worst that could happen?

Several things:

 

1. But doesn't Thaumcraft's ore doubling mechanic require metallum, a crucible, and a rudimentary knowledge of classical Latin?

 

2. How do you decrease the entropy of the universe? No, I don't have a giant computer to bug.

 

3. Hoppers are expensive for me, though; I only have, what, three stacks of iron ore? Much of my builds are semi-vanilla, though.

They kill millions of innocent (and guilty) people, malfunction or backfire, create a secret cult and overthrow Celestia... I could think of at least fifteen more things that could go wrong just at this very moment!

Yes.

No, those are things that could go right. There's very little that could go wrong.
