That’s all
How though
They used to be cool, mow they remind me of that show and mcu multiverse crap. There’s no mystique to a nice portal anymore
I like how in Mercedes Lackey’s books, portals are notoriously hard to manage and maintain. It basically drains you of all your power and then some. But otherwise portals have been kinda basic for me since Diablo II.
This is the first time I’ve seen anyone reference Mercedes Lackey, one of my favorite authors of all time. Her system of magic got it all right as far as I’m concerned, fucking Harry Potter throwing spells around with zero effort beyond the right wrist flick and pronunciation
I suppose you’d think it’d fine if it was called a wormhole or whatever? Also in what way are portals always lazy? They can be used for super convenient transportation and that can do it, but usually the portal goes to some weird fucking place that there is no way the protagonist could walk or drive to. Stargate is all about the availability of a portal and it’s consequences, portals can be pretty cool.
But what about The Hole in “Outer Range?”
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Alternate reality concepts too. I’ve always loved using ideas of alternate realities in my work, now people just think I’m ripping of drunk science man and teenager cartoon show.
