the ibm z15 stat block is so nerdy i love it

honestly lost it when the main character started listing off the 12.2 billion transistors like he was reading a spec sheet from a 2019 tech blog, it’s just such a weirdly specific flex to bring a literal mainframe into a world where people are flying on swords. i’m a sucker for the whole 'bringing a gun to a knife fight' vibe but with data processing instead of bullets, though the part where the immortal ties his hair back felt a bit too cliché for my taste because every single xianxia ever written has that exact same scene with the head patting. the logic for how forty terabytes of ram actually helps you circulate qi is kind of fuzzy if you think about it too hard, like i’m pretty sure memory capacity doesn't translate to spiritual meridians but i'm willing to overlook it for the sheer absurdity of the premise. a bit worried the tech will make him too overpowered way too fast, i already noticed he's basically ignoring the traditional meditation grind because his cpu does the work for him. it's fun for now but i hope the author actually challenges him soon or the novelty of the supercomputer is gonna wear off by chapter fifty.
