Hempuli posted:Did we previously see someone operating the catapult? As far as I know "snicker-snack yoink" returns the closest weapon someone is holding, so I assume for the purposes of the spell there must've been someone from whom the catapult was taken? The definition of the spell was just "summons the nearest weapon to your hand", it doesn't have to be one that someone else was already holding.

RandomFerret posted:Not only has she just come off a multi-year dry spell, this is absolutely the most deserving person she's ever gotten to kill. Flipping back quickly, from Audrey's point of view it's been about three months since the cupcake mission. I really can't argue with that analogy, though.

434 The dialogue in those last two panels is word-for-word a conversation from the White House, but there's one big difference: the president actually pulled something useful out of his rear end.

Lyndon really doesn't know his fiancee if he thought she was gonna have any other reaction to hearing "you kill a billion people every time you touch that".

Mr. Steak posted:since the "you" in the simulation never experienced a scepter vision (as we know they dont), and the real you did, thats a gigantic discrepancy from reality in the very first moment of the simulation. therefore, the scepter was never useful as an individual prediction device. assuming the scepter is working as intended, its purpose must have been the holistic, planet-wide predictions that it ended up being used for. and was never intended to accurately predict an individual's death. Not necessarily. Think of it like this: Once upon a time, a mighty king became obsessed with his own impending mortality. He approached his court wizard, most powerful in all the land, and said "use your magicks to fashion me a device that will let me see the moment of my death, that I might evade the reaper's chill touch!" And the loyal wizard said "aye, my sire!" And then he spent the next year yelling at his scrolls, saying "gently caress's sake, does he have any idea what he asked me to do? you can't just 'see the future', you have to simulate a whole universe, and he's not giving me nearly enough magic crystals or Potions of the Scarlet Steer for that." At long last, his work came to an end, for on that day he made a most mystical proclamation to himself: "Ahh screw it, there's still some edge cases but whatever, I'll ship it like this. If he sees himself dying at night because there wasn't any starlight to see by, I'll just mumble something about a grand cataclysm only his grace can avert." And so it was.

Roobanguy posted:http://trixie.webcomic.ws/comics/438 Yeah, but he did also lie to everyone about Samantha being crazy that one time, because he wanted to sleep with Audrey. Which led to the whole group being kidnapped, drugged, almost made permanently insane, and having to murder a whole civilization* in order to avoid being butchered. Really is kind of a pattern with the dude! Maybe there's a really popular celebrity, Jenny Betrayal or something, so every time someone says "but he betrayed me!" they instantly think of a catchy pop tune and have a hard time staying mad. (*"We went to an asylum and Lyndon made us commit genocide!" "Really? Well, I'm sure it's for the best. Hopefully Hank makes a full recovery.")

Paladin posted:Thorsby is running an RPG on twitter. Losing my mind at how the mechanics are divided into: -lying, which has an 80% chance that they believe you, and also something happens that makes the lie difficult to maintain -literally any other action...which automatically fails if you could be lying to someone instead
