A goon's posting the same thing
But he's already turned to dust
And the shitpost we read
Is a billion light-years old
A ghost just like the rest of us
I'm hearing "This is Your Life" by Augustines. Magnificent, and worth the wait.

At this point I'm expecting Jadis to break out of her crystal tomb and throw the spear herself.

Jadis sharpens her crystal encasement to form the spearpoint.

Ominous liturgy today:


quote:

“And all together, upon the dim dawn of the battlefield, the thin pearlescence of the bloody horizon washing over us – there we heard the clarion. Descending was the armies of the rising king, and behind her a thousand thousand banners. Upon the banners was writ the word YSUN.”

Wait, is this Allison being a liberal and killing the attempted revolution with the help of the bourgeoisie, only to be undercut by their combined might now that they realize they must represent an armed front to prevent themselves from being almost toppled like this again? Are Allison and co gonna radicalize from this to become Jagganoth, but perhaps with better messaging?

Them saying jags was bad when he was actually good would make this pretty parallel to stuff, and ironic. It would also explain why Abbadon expected everyone to get pissed.

pretty sure if anything the liberal approach would be to confront the entity explicitly literally trying to kill you on the battlefield of ideas and convince them they’re wrong through the overwhelming power of rational debate

I always thought this thought experiment stupid because it arbitrarily decided which ruleset applies between the real-world physics and the game. You either go for one or the other.

Still funny though.

It's the DnD equivalent of one of those math "proofs" that state that 1+1=3 and expects you to ignore the step where division by zero happens or some poo poo.

"Hi Everybody!"
They're not going to kill Jagganoth, they're going to Capital-B Bind him. Remember their slim chance is that the Binding is still there, so they're presumably going to upgrade it so it lasts longer than a minute this time.

the thing everyone will hate is the new binding working for ten minutes, which allows for 8 minutes of exposition before he goes nuclear and blows the wheel up

When I read this an enormous bug landed directly on my hand. Strange. "What are you?" I've never seen such a thing before. It flew off after a time.

Jags remains correct. The only definitive answer is the sword. "Outnumbered" isn't a real concept.
