Came for the flying toasters reference. Did not leave disappointed.

I imagine a world where widespread use of creativity pills means movies like “Lucy” and the rest of that “only use 10% of your brain” crap are never created again.
Seems the Greeks wrote quite a bit of Zeus / everyone and everything fics too.
I think it’s also important to point out the historical aspect of this. Storytelling, legend, myth...a great deal of this is basically auditory fan fiction. The gods and heroes and characters are usually already established. I’d say a great deal of the myths and legends we know, that are now recorded in books, were…
Slashfic aside (I’d love to know if archaeologists ever found a tablet like this) you could pretty much say a great deal of mythology and legend is auditory fanfic. Surely there were original stories and ideas. But surely not all or even most of the stories we know were the originals, or simple evolutions on them.
Maybe not exactly in the running with the worst of the worst. But it is pretty steamy in places.
I think it’s important to remember that there is a thriving professional segment of what is essentially fanfics, just “blessed” to become canon. Have you ever been to the sci fi section of a book store? See all those Star Wars novels? All the Halo books? Star Trek? Now, take a look at the comics. Do you think the…
Fair enough. I’ll have to grab the comic for the payoff. The story and characters definitely look interesting enough to delve into this. Thanks for your insight and recommendation.
Now that seems like an epic tale. The heroic band that slew the tap-dancing dracolich. It shall be immortalized in tapestries for generations to come.
Agreed. And thank you for clarifying Luci’s pronouns, I had missed the one reference, and the “father of lies bit” had me uncertain how much of the male she incorporated into her own identity.
I’m fairly certain the “she/he” reference was specifically made with Desire of the Endless in mind (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_(D…) and not meant to be a dig on Luci (unsure of Luci’s preferred pronouns). Heck, even the David Bowie reference is a common thread between the two of them, being one of the…
Probably just someone having fun with a laser pointer.
“until eventually it will become a cold, dark, and desolate place where all of the lights go out.”
I’ve heard of tribal forms of justice where the friends and family of a criminal take turns talking about the person they have known growing up, the goodness that they saw, the helpful and enriching things they did. A way to call back to the depths of a person, and help resurface their ability to see themselves as…
Ah, that sucks, man. Hope you can find a workaround or fix in time.
Is this the mission invading the alien base for the first time, after you capture and decode one of the Outsider creatures? There are some known issues regarding the graphical settings on that one. You may want to google around for solutions.
THIS. This is why I just couldn’t continue. It made my brain hurt, and my senses rage. After ALL the impact and strife and wonder of the first game...and then it starts with a dance number, Yuna’s vocabulary drops to that of a grade schooler, and...just...WUT. WHYYYYYY. I couldn’t bring myself to finish it.
Even if justice is served in this case, this is hardly the singular reason for such unrest. It’s addressing a hotspot, but I fully expect incidents like this to become all the more common until a more widespread effort is implemented to address police brutality and abuse of power, or until the more blatant results of…
“The greater good.”
Hmm. They trained in using the maneuver gear, and the blades. But how on earth do you prepare for actually facing your enemy?
