I wonder how it’s going in the universe where people decided to say ahoy when answering the phone instead of hello. Do you think they’ve achieved world peace?

We chose wrong as a society. We chose wrong.

"he would not fucking say that" but about injuries. he would not fucking recover that quickly. those scars would not fucking heal like that. he would not be fucking able bodied after that. he would not be fully lucid after that.

Man, I should've gotten to the rest of PHO Sundays sooner. Wildbow is so goddamn good at fleshing out his worlds, and he somehow always manages to multitask. The regular video game exchange between Aleph and Bet through the Haywire Portal alludes to tinker-made games, along with swipe and punch cards of heroes that have wormed their way into Bet's gaming culture. The Whitelist being an option for unaffiliated single heroes, but with elaboration on all the problems and safeties involved. Cape Fantasy Football following up on what happened to Sphere's project after he got Simurghed while also just being kind of hysterical (immortal cape gets stuck on the moon). The Vispera incident. The reveal that Earth Bet Taylor Swift (Terri Light) was a tinker clone while the real one turned into a NEET, while on the other side of the music scene, fans of Canary hired villains to steal her unreleased songs from the PRT, which since her power still works through recordings means there's now literal music drugs being distributed through the web. All of this taking place during the timeskip, meaning through all these random stories and headlines we're also witnessing the gradual decline of everything as the new endbringers show up and the PRT starts visibly falling apart. Good stuff.

what's worrisome is that everyone has more or less the same primordial version of history these days when you look into mainstream discourses, just like putin. ukrainians say they're actually the real inheritors of kievan rus, the russians are asiatic barbarians. israelis say they have a 2,000-year-old biblical claim to the land. azeris and armenians go back and forth over who has lived in the caucasus since time immemorial. china says taiwan was always chinese and pulls out 17th century fishing maps for the south china sea. and so on, and so forth, none of this broaches the fact that the real problem here is that people are getting bombed, tortured, and raped in the name of these pathetic fantasies, not the veracity of the claims

orson welles was 25 when he directed citizen kane. steve jobs didn't start apple until he was 21. bobby fischer didn't become grandmaster until 15. mozart didn't even compose his first symphony until he was 8. you have time.
