I don't know if you're serious, but no, that's not it at all. It's an Elder Scrolls thing.

(Katia doesn't even have the usual player character perks of, say, getting a perfect wolf pelt just by opening the dead wolf as a container, so it's probably difficult to get much further away from CHIM than she is right now.)

I read that entire OP and still have no idea what the hell CHIM is.

I'm having flashbacks to the DnD threads with BrandorKP's insanity after reading that.

So it's like nirvana but also with magic powers? Why is it called CHIM?

This update is sort of... super depressing considering how hard Katia has been trying to do better. It shows how low she had gone in the past but... I think I liked it better when it was left to the imagination. Seeing Katia call herself a worthless whore is really sad. :smith:

So despite Aggy's nonsensical advice, Katia (or more accurately the reader suggestions) still tried to decipher a logical pattern and coherency to the telekinesis power. And we see that Katia visualizes this as a highly ordered geometric abstraction that she can manipulate with enough willpower.

But while she's doing it, I don't think she actually visualizes Mysticism the same way Aggy does, even though it works just fine. I think Aggy really does cast his powers by visualizing insane and non-sensical metaphors that even he doesn't wholly understand.

What I'm saying is that Aggy is the best. :kimchi:

I'm not sure you can get worse than "sexually objectifying alcoholic cat-lady: the webcomic". Like it was only mostly bad before, but now because Kaz has said some dumb spergy garbage it's worse? I suppose so, but it's like saying 101 pounds of poo poo is worse than 100 pounds of poo poo.

I mean, I'm still gonna read it, but no one should be any illusions that it could ever get meaningfully worse.

I'm not sure what part of Afraid of Audio's post was "hurling abuse at even more people"? Other than calling Kazerad's opinions abhorrent, which is not an abusive statement, the rest of the post is an effort to divine the elements of Prequel that interact with Kazerad's stated position on #GruntingGrub, a movement characterized by its misogyny and bigotry. Given that Prequel stars a female character and the hurt/comfort fanfiction nature of the work, Kazerad's willingness to ignore or whitewash the misogyny of the #GamerGate group casts those questionable elements of Prequel and his defense of those elements in a different light. If presenting criticism of a work in light of its author's expressed public views is "abuse", then I guess I shouldn't criticize Orson Scott Card's Empire as being pure polemic against political ideologies he disagrees with, or express my contempt for the anti-Islamic bigotry present in Holy Terror while also mentioning the political views of Frank Miller. Death of the Author is a useful tool, not a rule for criticism.

No, it's stupid bullshit and it shouldn't be in this thread. And it's especially bullshit to keep bringing up GamerGate and then try to say you don't want to talk about GamerGate.

At some point after being sent to the dungeon in the Imperial City, Katia will achieve CHIM, allowing her to rise above all limitations.

She already has. That's what her inventory and ability to levitate stuff is. That's CHIM.

What? No, Katia has not achieved CHIM. You can't reach that state and not have the profound understanding that defines it.

You absolutely can. See: every single player who started a game but had absolutely no idea what the hell they were doing.

EDIT:

Cat Mattress posted:

Being killed is perfectly compatible with CHIM. After all, players die all the time when they play. Then they reload a save. If you want to look at it that way, the proof that the Vivec you meet in Morrowind doesn't have CHIM is not that you can kill him, it's that if you do that he doesn't respawn.

Note that the Sermons explicitly tells that the player has to kill Vivec.

That's not proof Vivec doesn't have CHIM at all. Players don't respawn, they reload and go back to before the death even happened. Presumably if a player dies and never saved or never reloads then that's it, as far as that game's story can be said the player died then and there. Perhaps Vivec had just gotten bored and decided not to reload a save.

That's assuming that reloading doesn't create a parallel timeline identical to the previous one but branching at the moment of saving.
