Dog it held humanity hostage until we signed its legal document
humanity was lucky that Ra wanted to be a bureocrat
oh yeah sorry I did - it's kinda interesting. It's probably intended to be read as humans creating shackling with NHP involvement only in the tech side of things but there's room for interpretation here imo. Note the bit in brackets at the start of the second paragraph here.
RA was the cop and the lawyer in that moment
the invation of mars could have been the end of humanity as a whole
I was under the impression it held humanity hostage because it was holding the center of command hostage which is at most a planet
But that doesn't mean it has the power to do the same thing to everyone in the entire galaxy
it held a planet hostage using it's own technology
yeah again because it was right above it
how many planets are there in this godforsaken galaxy
okay, act II spoilers here, but related to topic of FCA ||when I have my PCs meet the union folks in act 2, they're going to be concerned because they're worried the cult are breaking the FCA, and want to put a stop to that before RA shows up and puts a stop to all life in the Calliope system. They don't know how likely that would be as an outcome, but it's a non-0 possibility in union's eyes ||
many, but he teleports
a galaxy wide ban doesn't have to be watertight effective (although RA does seem to be willing and capable to assassinate JCH2 in the middle of his fortress so yanno, got the firepower to do some enforcement). My point was that if RA had wanted to say something strongly about NHPs, they could have included that in the FCA or the Koans.
this doesn't give much ref to third-wave entities though does it_?_ and even so, assistance is a loose term
especially when you consider that this was during SecComm
Ra feels like it doesn't care about NHP's as an aftermath of the blink being exposed in the Lancerverse, they are a by product
also that but really I don't think it's galaxy wide enforcement powerful
it's a batman situation
and if it is well shit 
i like to thnk of Ra as almost a childlike entity in human thinking really
when you're saying third-wave entities, what are you referring to?
he can't be everywhere, but where he is, he sends a message
the new clones, like Osiris and Asura
it also seems that even before caskets, nhps 1) able to be reasoned with 2) had personalities
I MEANT ALL THE NHPS LMAO
alright folks, it's 1:20 in the morning, much as I'd love to keep chatting, I should sleep
night night
weren't they made by humans, or am i confusing something
I'm suppsoed to be working
stop distracting me by being fun, all of you
nah RA made itself
Goodniiiight
they meant Osiris and Asura
I'm also at work but it's slow so I'm doing this 
ah, well
Ra exists because he didn't exist but once he did he existed everywhere
"developed" is undefined in the book yea totally. legionnaire describes conditioning or teaching to get new patterns/classes
ah found the bit in the crb talking about the waves. This would be about second wave but we know very little about how third wave stuff is done (aside from AGNI, fuck the guys who made AGNI).
Oh also
potentially also first wave.
shit

gonna betray myself and put me in the time chamber for a thousand years brb
Plus this never talks about the Celestians but that is buried lore thanks to Albies and the rewrites
Do not fuck the people who made AGNI, that's how they make more of those
the WHAT
that's a very rude thing to say about folks who just wanted to make foliage management more efficient
It's Albie lore that people who broke the FCA did it before the FCA were forcibly signed on. Albies destroyed every trace of them as FCA enforcement, but they got retconned to be slavers to Albies keep their squeaky clean image and the people they saved are....never mentioned again????
what
Yo dawg i heard you like NHPs so i put an NHP in an NHP
Yeeeeeah, old lancer lore was freakin dark my guy
nhpception
AGNI I think could definitely be said to be created by humans. NOAH is an interesting case where their prime seems to have been a shackled NHP (this is implied to be possible anyway because shackling looks to be an iterative process but its nice to have confirmation). The rest come from RA's asscrack or nowhere or possibly the future or something, it's not clear.
I wonder if the reason so much discourse is unanswerable is the back and forth of conflicting lore
Like Sekmet was gifted or something
what are the NHP views on this stuff? i know it's tainted by the human perception they have but
Yeeaaah this is a big problem
would just like cycling to be more detailed on tbh
Each module says something different
i think it's too vague
Like wallflower treats them just as tools
(and if anyone tells me to look at dustgrave i will leave your grave in dust)
I am a dustgrave hater
Fuck the TCB
I dont think its the main source but it's definitely contributing for sure. The fact the crb is generally not a tonally reliable guide in particular is kinda scuffed. The crb, to a significant extent, doesn't really agree with itself (especially about Union's morality)
However, WF was the first module when Lancer was still new so it is probably working on the old basis on how NHPs were handled, but the community sometimes doesn't like that so it's been kind of softened cause people don't like it being so complex or icky, want my preprogrammed nhp gf
i read the blurb on NHPs
and i hated it
honestly i've always thought the human-NHP relationship thing was kinda weird
I like how it is if you actually explore how it's fucked up
at least if you look at general lancer lore
yeah if you look at Ancer lore it's kind of weird
like... how do you... cycle_?_ your romantic partner_?_
Like (wf) ||O/K was literally forced to xenocide and can't stop despite it wanting to||
Tuck them into bed
little kiss on the forehead
meow... why did you do that???
-# In the accused's defense I also think "Turning someone off and on" is a funny phrase but REGARDLESS
no guys seriously what happened
why did you flush emote the amphiban
tbf I don't think that's weird. It's complicated and fraught but essentially... Do it while holding their virtual hand after many long conversations with them in the years prior about when they would want you to cycle them.
I think there are generally ethical issues with human-NHP relationships if you're running your game as close to lore-as-written, insofar as you can derive that. But more in general power dynamic stuff in how the books don't really agree how much NHPs are meant to be treated as full citizens.
i don't even know if it was Meow
Where???
Someone reacted to Frog's message with 😳 and I automatically assumed it was Meow instead of Juli 
If i did I didn't do it on purpose
Oh my god i thought i accidently posted something terrible guys holy shit
why would you think it was me and not meow? 
how could you meow
I didn't say it was you 
meow...
Are you geelinf fuilty? 
geeling
ALRIGHT STOP BULLYING MEOW
Dude i had a heart attack Wren
I ADMIT IT WAS ME
Wren, you are so real for saying that
I WAS THE ONE TO 😳 REACT
Meow, i can't believe you forced Juli to flush emote
i thought i accidentally posted something bad like an accidental paste
its complicated but in the same way that trusting your intimate partner with your meds because you fear you won't be in the right mind to take them when you need them most is complicated.
Yeah, actually, 100%
I have been there lol
i can't believe Meow framed Juli as the Bay Harbor Butcher
yaaaa grandma squad in hour and a half
fuck ok stop being entertaining for one second I need to lock in
-# butcher? i hardly knew her
time to get this bread (back to Hell's Gate)
Print this loaf
butcher_?_ nah, i'm a femmethem
if you were a NHP, which one
comp/con
Betty Jean is already an NHP.
Roland is the opposite of me and he's a Lawyer nhp
that's a technicality
A person that’s not human
Sounds like an NHP to me
Is the opposite of a Lawyer an Anarchyim
which one's a diva
Osiris?
the opposite of a lawyer is a good person
Don't you diss my boy Pheonix Wright
that's-a me then
Sisyphus also counts I think
also general meta point about the lore that I think really poisons the NHP well:
Lancer lore is primarily written with the intent of being broadly relevant to the mech fighting game
The reason why NHP lore primarily talks about NHPs in military contexts and does little to delve into their other uses other than to say they exist is because those military contexts are the ones that players will primarily be experiencing. It's why facets of the lore about how consensual military NHP procurement is for the NHP and the like are underexplored, generally the lore either focuses on big political and worldbuilding points that are useful for campaign building, or stuff that is directly relevant to player gameplay.
Now personally I think the crb does actually a pretty bad job at this and its priorities are kinda wack in a way that causes a bunch of weird misconceptions about the lore in brand new players cough cloning cough but I think people sometimes read the absence of some of these lore points, when other areas (even other areas about NHPs) are comparatively so richly developed as active evidence that there's nothing to these areas of the lore and thus we should assume for instance that the process of 'acquiring' an NHP in gameplay is therefore nonconsentual for the NHP.
Lancer lore is primarily written with the intent of being broadly relevant to the mech fighting game
well then why did they make it so fucking awesome
because it's a mecha game
because they got that juice
tom and miguel lancer making a book about robots fighting each other
"what if we wrote peak fiction"
you gotta have good lore in your mecha game or else what's the goddamn point of it all
in a mecha game everything is made to be either ultra hype or ultra sad
hello ari :]
true true
i must flee
im adding another veteran to the opfor that's what im doing
tom bloom writing peak fiction with dope af worldbuilding? say it aint so.
hey! public defense lawyers are a core pillar of democracy and justice
hello in golden flame chat. orbital strike or no orbital strike for ari
i'm going to date a white man
mech pilots live off hype moments and aura, and also from being sad half the time
:(
Evil
No I think less powdered and more powdeblue
they're also broke
blue is the best color with zero bias
do you think RA put on a powdered wig when they made the law or?
before you enter the courtroom the jury must vote whether your hair serves enough cunt to practise law and if you dont you get the powdered wig
i will be washing away my sins with dolla dolla bills
you've seen my hair i think you know the answer
being a public defender is like being a lawyer but you kept your morals and hence lost out on all the money. It's called equivalent exchange.
idk man a new vivienne westwood in exchange for running over a neighborhood seems like a profit for me
i have i have but this is just in general. you must serve cunt to practise law and if you dont idk. death penalty
its only reasonable
you drive a hard bargain.
if you practice law.
death penalty
its like league of legends, I don't believe in the death penalty but I can make exceptions.
(loophole_!_ as lawyers we don't have souls, and are therefore not alive)
lawyer prep be like
snort a line
motorboat someone
lie
repeat
buddhists escaping the electric chair as we speak.
yeah p much
you know what the punishment is?
playing league of legends
close enough.
I would simply train my tolerance to electricity by microdosing
What now electric chair boy
on buddhism? I believe that's called mindfulness.
What
damn, Leonard is the new Buddha?
damn, what's that knocking on your door
you're saying the world is eternally full of suffering that cannot truly be stopped?
eh there's a ton of buddhas iirc. we'll be fine i thinky
become the eto bleh
he's right buddha me isn't he
No I'm saying if I am buddha then the situation is fucking dire
bleh.......
the eto blehddha
that's what the messiah would say
Are you sure there were no better choices because I sure as fuck think there would be better choices
Lisan Al Gaib
I am not the messiah!
Leo Al Gaib
there's a ton of buddhas we'll be fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee we can add another to the collection
this entire lawyer talk is very funny when a buddy of mine works in the office of public doman
doman
brave
THE MESSIAH IS SO HUMBLE
public domain is a different hell entirely
anything that even slightly touches IP law scares me
domain expansion, statue of limitations
why does that thang exist. i fear
Leo, did you drink the blue stuff meant for girls and practiced your voice yet?
i think that qualifies
it's.. complicated
still have the mining union guy made union contract lawyer in my calliope
what now woke liberals
in some ways it exists as a way to let independent creators properly benefit from what they've created
Wren you are colour blind
without greedy fuckers exploiting it for their own profit
but usually.... it's just corpos using it for their own gain
no u
So we should
dismantle capitalism
yes?
please don't ask me to give a coherent philosophy around this right now i just woke up
it's also got a lot of controversy in gender gap, the IP racket preventing developing countries from properly benefiting from it, if ever
and then there's...
well.
you know uhhh
Disney_?_
of course
i tried to send "we should forcefem the new buddha" and then my computer Immediately crashed so im going to take that as an omen
DAMN
Several IPs would be public domain if they had not lobbied to keep them under company control, however there is also some countries with such loose restrictions they can benefit off of clear IP Infringement to benefit off a branded name via a bad product
For the record? Not my fault, I didn't do anything
What a humble messiah
simply too powerful, that message spontaneously achived nirvana and ascended without your ass
neoliberalism, at least
And this isn't me talking knock off toys, I'm talking bad quality pharmaceuticals for patients with series medical needs being given faulty versions of the original medication
i'm leaving the game
forcefem_?_ why don't i force this fem to get a job
you've left the game like four times by now. we havven't even finished snack run
IP philosophy scares, let alone IP law.
Impact Plaza philosophy scares me as well
it's starts with impact of course it's scary
-# (honestly if i were forced to get a job in a way that let me bypass the job market i'd take it so quickly)
On the one hand, you want the inventor that built the part that made the machine that feeds millions to be compensated for his design and hard work
On the other, you don't want it to be SO STRICT you have to only rely on that one design to make a part for a machine to feed that million people.
You got to have a give and take and understand the nuances of pros and cons in it.
Ain't no solutions, just trade offs.
I have left
TWICE
you've left the server like Four Times by now?
Typical man, exaggerating a woman’s justified reactions
that or i forgor
I see only 2 invite links
But you did leave, he didn't exaggerate that
-# also are we really going to through that casual sexism under the rug
didn't you leave after explaining the omninet vs the muse in fornite terms-wait no thats justified honestly
...well, iguess that's better than getting it in Homestuck terms

Everyone in the group except me and Jess are cis men
And Jess hasn’t been around for any sessions
i didn't see it but if you point me in the right direction i can be outraged?
(They’re all sweeties i simply jest)
we must change that. teams must be autobalanced
Unfortunately as men none of them are funny
What if you get autobalanced
-# I'm honestly surprised that this thread didn't at least get a little crazy when that trailer for the Homestuck show came out...
im throwing myriad in the forcefem basement will you help me
What if the fem forced… is you
“I’m only considering HRT for the hair growth”
Let them try
be the change you want to see in this world
I don’t think we need assistance
yeah it's a fucking minefield really imo. It's one of those situations where the current legal/philosophical norm on IP and trademark etc are definitely wrong but there's a hell of a lot of baby in that bathwater too so you can't throw it all out. And then it's tied deeply into some pretty toxic capitalist lines of thinking and functional capitalist realities around intellectual pursuits being valued primarily around their ability to make money and people needing to work to live.
Yeah sure
YIPPIE
anyway gtg shopping now
dont drown and good luck :]
I'm still not sure what that means
In this instance why did you say that
I want to know
i have no idea how to explain it to you but i can assure you that its correct
I've also been described this way at least once and I want to know why
While i cannot share, know that it was justified
honestly i've sat down and thought about it enough to go "ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i dont know how much i'd care if i was forcefemmed but there's enough about going on e that i don't like enough for me to not take it". maybe that means something but oh well
yeah its drastic
there are no better words
Do YOU even know what it was wert
i vaguely know enough context to atleast guess
i dont know just how bad it was but i know enough of the shape of it to go "oh god. oh golly"
I wont say how true or false it is tho
honorary lesbians
-# This does not give me much hope
In the most safe terms possible i will say that
Greetings IGF, I've come with a proposition as I scuttle along your ceiling;
I wanna do a warmup doodle before drawing, privy þe give mine cold, metallic hands an npc with no art, so I may give them a portrait
we must forcefem the buddha NOW!
Straight men and lesbians are similar, somewhat, in that they are oblivious fools
Berry oblivious
But there are differences in man oblivious and lesbian oblivious
And this obliviousness was so…..
It was lesbian
Also a description would be neat
✋🏼 What is the difference?
warmup doodling hours!
holy fuck I almost did the thing where I forgot what chat Im in and slammed a turbo spoiler
It’s not something one can put in words
It’s like
Okay so like
When my girlfriend and I first met
We wound up talking for so long, that i forgot to get the drinks for my group, that i had specifically been sent to go get because I usually get a discount (hey, gotta flaunt what you got)
I forgot the drinks there for half an hour
And it took till AFTER the fact for me to realise that this girl was clearly into me
Okay, what would man oblivious be then
similar
Me whenever someone flirts with me tbh
THEN WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE 
idk i’ve never met one
it’s just
It’s different
My ex and i flirted like 6 months before we started dating and i had no idea
I explode
It’s a vibe
Sele, don't make me do it
Draw Zepher
Spiderman?
But is he Peter Parker
Lmao
YOU NEVER SAID WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE ONLY WHAT HIS BODY IS
:L
sounds spiderman enough
definitely sounds like a spider man
woaw... spidertuar
Gimme at least some infor on his FACE
he has one
I'VE SAID MULTIPLE TIMES THAT I DESCRIBE HIM AS A MESSED UP ALLMAGEMATION OF SUBALTERN PARTS HE JUST LIKES THE SPIDER LOWER BODY TO MOVE AROUND WITH FREEDOM
He has the face of willem dafoe
hot
Hello yes would you like the bullet warm or cold?
cold
how does one shoot a cold bullet
By coldening the bullet first obviously?
Okay fine, I know Zephyer has art from a while back, but that is PC form, npc form always had me think of him as like a kind looking but still just off subaltern head. Like he kept the oppacity on the skin a few percentages low to show he is machine underneath. eye color too bright, and a kind of chimney sweep cap
no, they load a cold gun
Deadlock mention???
Ice bullet
If you want to drink cold water you don't pour room temperature water in a cold bottle, you pour cold water in a room temparture bottle
It's the same thing with the cold bullet
I need to play it once its out
I don't like mobas so I don't really play it but Eleonor and i had fun a few times
Its fun but not my thing, but i do think about that nasty gank we did with lady gheist (me) and haze(?) where i jumped an abrahms with low health intentionally and we bullied him
Sometimes I see people play leagu of legends and I feel an itch to play it but I quickly remember that it is in fact a MOBA and is therefore not fun
also it is league of legends
And thats like, the worst one
There are lesbians playing LoL????
no that show
ourcunt or whatever
what
Are you having a stroke
with the lesbians
Is it autocorrect
a period
What is OURCUNT???
WHAT
Lesbian Stroke
-# unsolicited Juli fact: I actually started to enjoy ARAM at least after i got prescribed anti-anxiety meds... I'll still die after even thinking about summoners rift
my brain immediately went to Sonic and Shadow when you said red and blue lesbians
I still get really bad ladder anxiety with any online game, hell sometimes TTRPG sessions do that to me. I always need to perform well or i assume I'm being judged
OH
ourcunt is infinitely funnier though
Oooooooh okay I get it now
i know i was just shitposting
(well, a lil. period brain is serious pain)
:(
may your period cramps be given to the worst person you know instead and be doubled
also that you get painkillers
if you get period cramps you should be able to get morphene or something equivalent for free. as a treat
hey calliope
Hallo Ada
-# it was dominating so many of my other channels and servers tbh I was glad to have a respite here
Fun fact, Calamity Havok, generally regarded as a contender for title of Most Lesbian? Was created by one of these.
-# The legendary man lesbian…
Ok, Ada, could you then provide your insight into what a man lesbian is?
It's... really hard to say without just hiding behind "I know it when I see it". There's an ephemeral lesbian energy there.
Masc but with undeniable queer vibes?
Man who is just one of the gals
yeah exactly like... okay tbh it's incredibly eggy vibes
Leo might actually achieve nirvana once he learns what truly makes a man a lesbian
though no matter how many times you say "have you thought about it?" they usually go "yea that's not me tho"
(which happens with eggs too, honestly)

yet another prude who thinks Gender Exploration = horny posting...
-# /J pls don't ban me Mr. voidhopper
Gender exploration does not mean horny poster
-# however it has a tendency to devolve into it(?) /idk for real
I mean, no matter how you view gender discussion and exploration we''re a lot more hinged today than yesterday (so far)
there's a larger message here of sexuality being treated as taboo
Keep it up Juli, each time calling me that is another engineer on the board
Professor Eleonor is about to speak 
gender engineer
Gengineer
Gengar
you called? :3
Genshin impact
Absolutely, especially interesting give that we have an inherent restriction on such topics on this server, but discussing graphic violence is not against the rules (as long as you're not making jokes out of war crimes). whole essays have been written on the distinctly american arrangement of restricting sexual topics more harshly than violence.
That said from my understanding of the pnet rules we haven't come close to the line for NSFW content yet
I Will Do My Best Not To Consider That Last Statement A Challenge
The Adas on my shoulders whenever i want to do a bit...
Do not post a boob Juli
Not that I'm encouraging it but
reading the rules it would be allowed if topical and spoilered.
Like if someone's PC art has a boob out
topical boob

Especially for something like that
I've dated like, 4 people? And they've all approached me
I don't think I have much game IRL, but in roleplay or through text I am an incorrigible flirt
Which has been a more recent development? tho idk maybe that's changing irl too. I've been loosing my inhibitions on it a lot lately. Life's too short to not flirt with pretty girls

Common HA W
You're not nearly as bad as me btw
Tbh i always feel anxious when it comes to playing with people who are not close friends because i know Eleonor can put up with me and i feel comfortable there, anywhere else and i get really worried it's too much
I could make a joke about hating Eleonor but in reality she and my main crew match each other's freak
don't worry, I'm more than thankful that Eleonor made the mistake of letting me spectate and i would never push for anything else
I joined to just give sunzi fast rules
greatly appreciated btw
I hate how size half cover interacts with everything
Most things don't care that it exists except for the things that do
just imagine 1/2 cover as some gears of war-esqe set decoration
If it's there even as a size half its not a free space
I guess walking right through it is fine but being accelerated through it is too far
That's where we draw the line
so accelerate can't be used to cross walls?
No
If there was a door you can slide through the door, but you can't phase through a wall
Cause accelerate isn't a portal it's a slip and slide from point a to b

Oh i missed this but fr Juli you're like my favorite person here, it was not a mistake
aww
You too Ada! 🫵
ljdekhbadf
That wasn't a depressed aww that was a "that's adorable" aww lmao
but I'll take it
Ada is my favorite from the GM thread
the player thread has some serious competition xD

I know it wasn't Ada i was just being nice (and honest)
Juli is great
Its me
-# even though i've been shitposting here for months I'm always deeply surprised whenever someone acknowledges my existence...
Same
Especially in a positive way
I'm waiting for the day when everyone says they hate me lmao
both of you are dumb. you are both top 5 life of the party
you really mean that?...
yea hoe
Never!
Awww wholesome chat day!
I can confidently say I've gotten nothing but good vibes and strong chuckles from my brief time in this chat. Yall are awesome!
Damn i need to try harder then
Yep Juli is poggers
i concur
I love everybody in this chat too much to rank y'all 🩷
but Juli and Meow and Eleonor are my favorites and it's not even close
(j/k j/k)
the lesbian council
bet
lets gooo i made the list
okay i feel bad for picking individuals. i love all of you, i just resonate with a few more than others
juli leo and i all share the lack of a braincell 
That's a fair take I think!
The troublesome trio
Heya seraph! We being wholesome here
bunzi is one of the people who got me so invested in the community but unfortunately he is too normal 😔
(this is not a diss against you bunzi, i am well aware i am the problem)

the normalest (positive)
in contrast to meow, yea
and eleonor
Oh my god, I am the normal cos dude in Calliope
no see I have to remove you from the running bunzi
because it wouldn't be fair otherwise
we met irl
we've hugged
i wanna see i wanna see 
you got to hold at least one of them, right?
pet snakes?
ye I have pet snakes
And they were travelling with us when we swung through Bunzi's hometown
I got to meet Roxy, the artist for the NPCs in IGF on that same trip. It got to meet my snakes and I got to meet it's snakes and also it's spiders, we had a lto of fun

- Nutmeg: Female Hognose, 320g or so, Conda morph (red/brown, larger spot pattern than pepper)
- Paprika: Female Variable Kingsnake, 250g or so, buckskin colorway (greenish-grey with red-yellow stripe)
Compare a Ball Python which is the most popular pet species and gets up to 2.5 or even 3 kg
They're all the same agge, about 3 years old, and all about at their full adult sizes. It's just that plains hognnose snakes have a wild amount fo sexual dimorphism, the girls are usually 3-4 times as big.
hot
the naming scheme is adorable .o.
have fun gaymer
Good hunting, Lancer
my own game session #51 starts in about an hour
have fun!
OOoooh looking forward to reading the recap later Ada!
ada's recaps are always good..
i'm looking forward to the SCP article
leo its like 2:00 am go to bed
no
Well let me get started early then, act 2 spoilers || Today they officially begin the Liberation of Impact Plaza||
It won't be heavy on the recap because I expect combat to be most of the session (act2)||Impact dynamics arc||||Comba 7.1 You didn't sign for that, a bored quartermaster who spend all his free time mastering his marksmanship, and his RPV Aegis "Bubbles" which I very much hope the team tries to take. Though I do have some narrative stuff with the initial assault to do. || Genitals Obliterated ||I think y'all'll really like what I did with bubbles but I probably won't share till the session is done||
Also Wren you're one of my favorites too
Also Leo you too
horse
OH, SERAPH YOURE ONE OF MY FAVORITES HERE TOO
who else, keep going
@ everyone
Also Kishka and Greybot I barely know you but you're also great
devious to reply to me with stuff i can't read
I can't possibly remember people so I'm just gonna tell them when I see them from now on
new strats
no need to rank if I can just personally tell everybody that I like them
good you deserve to be bullied
troooo
You just all fear my power, but I understand
need to keep you humble before lap overwhelms you and you just float off from getting so big headed
BUT YEAH SERA I'm putting Lynk in my game again, they're going to have a scene with kraken in a few sessions remind me to rant at you about that later
You know that's a line I so so so want to keep in my backpocket if Lap and (ch3) ||the crone|| ever interract
Forgor spoiler
It is 2 am I am liable to fuck up
Anyway I gotta go make dinner and ry to kill this headache before my session starts so I'll see all'y'all later
Go to bed Leo
EEP
I will eventually
daww, Im not sure who my favs are here.
Session is going great
ada, leo, meow, juli, eleonor, and bunzi would all be easy includes tho for sure

meow in the best possible way I find your anxiety re:does-everyone-secretly-hate-me slightly amusing because of how incredibly off the mark and baseless it is
I also find it slightly comforting because I get the same feelings and seeing how baseless it is in other people helps me reassure myself that my brain is simply lying to me like the liar that it is.
you're genuinely a joy to be around I hope you know that
goddammit I scrolled too far in my list of saved gifs on discord and he's fiending in my mind again
cognitohazards are a stupid concept and if you are genuinely worried by roko's basilisk I think it should be legal to hunt you for sport but cognitohazard might be the best way to describe that gif ngl.
My housemate semi-regularly spends time on the rokos basilisk subreddit talking techbro dumbasses down from panic attacks
Good night lancers :3 
Also, good morning calliope
yes, good morning 
Leo, go to sleep or else I'm getting the crowbar
goodnight naana
but it's much funnier to talk them into worse panic attacks instead
Roko's basilisk definitely isn't the worst case of tech bro faux-intellectual stupidity but it is one that really illustrates just why considering yourself something of a philosopher while despising the humanities and the underlying critical reasoning skills involved there is such a bad idea.
Good night nana!
thank you 😭 i really appreciate you too wren. lots and lots
If techbros didn't have inordinate amounts of power in society it would actually be very funny watching a bunch of terminally online capitalists try and create philosophy from first principles without any basic literacy skills.

reminds me how i saw a post somewhere about some techbro having used AI and he lost his mind thinking the AI was somehow uncovering some secret order or something but it had just replicated SCP foundation style writing lol
The tinfoil hat is strong with this one
oh god AI sycophants going off the deep end is always great
I think we should have the same net amount of derangement regarding AI in our society but we should concentrate it all in a couple really funny guys and then let everyone else be normal.
omg atriox hiiii
excellent gif
Out of context lancer night meme
Our boy Graham Cracker decided to get some info by going gambling, which resulted in him losing several hands of Uno Dos against an NHP named JOYEAUSE, who reps themself as an angrily flickering holographic cube. He ended the conversation by suggesting JOYEAUSE play craps instead, where it was revealed the NHP didn't realize the game was played with dice, and was suddenly QUITE interested in the game upon this discovery
NHP NAMED
??!?
it spreads...



We joyousnaxxing?
when are we not?
wanna talk about it in DMs?
It's just job stuff
I'm between jobs and my husband has been Searching for 18 months
We're exhausted and my last job ended up driving me to several panic attacks, one of which nearly landed me in hospital
I've got 3 weeks of money left
Then... I am at risk of losing a lot of things
Sorry for going quiet for a while... I'm just trying to think of what to say...
I'm halfway across the world so i feel terrible that all i could say is I'm sorry this is happening to you and I truly hope things start to get better for you
i've been there not too long ago myself :( if you need anything i'm here
finished grandma squad sesh 3 yesterday
and this time it went.... surprisingly well_!_
not a single structure on any of us
though we did spend a few repairs stabilising
(ch 1) ||we murked a demolisher in one shot by overheating it||
||we met S1GN4L||
who is, as far as i can tell, an annoying nerd
||and, from what i can see from their chatlogs, is surrounded by other nerds, who are all annoying in different ways||
||our GM was like "i'm adding an extra hive" because we aren't allowed to have fun /j||
||S1GN4L ran away though||
||after we murked 2 or 3 of the mechs||
i called him a pussy and he said "well, you are what you eat"
and i was too cramped and sleepy to make a comeback
i probably should have just had someone shoot him
not like he actually had any defences on his rig
||oh, before that, striga ambushed us from the vents||
||caught us for like half an hour||
||and then gave us a reserve||
||or well, she gave us something to give vent crabs at the happy noodle||
||it got handed to me||
i went to meet the vent crabs
||and they took it and gave me an anti-tech reserve||
||which i then handed to our more violent everest cause i thought she would prefer it more||
and she did_!_
hey, arimedea, it's good practice to spoiler tag your session recaps around here to ensure newer players dont see stuff they shouldn't. You haven't spoiled anything major, but pls tag it
(ch x) ||my spoiler text||
oh okay, mb
Morning lancers :3 
I've started to try achievement hunt in jurassic world evolution 2 inbefore the 3...
There's petting zoos and baby dinos holy shit 
bird up
I'm so excited
I desire babies
ayo?
average laplace Eject Powercores event from the POV of the victim of the cyberbullying
Well also in that sense but that's besides the point
Good Morning Calliope!
:>
Yesss I'm doing right now the chaos theory scenarios x)
They're kinda easy to complete
Key word being kinda
I managed to do the Jurassic Park one easily though
tbh im just enjoying the scenarios not doing them fast
making them all pretty and all
-# if we're still talking about Jurassic World evo...
I checked out the newest trailer and i had two thoughts
one: waow this game looks gorgeous
two: this canoe ride is the most dangerous and Ill-advised shit I've ever seen... you can't even do something like this in a mundane zoo...
looks at clock: 11am
good morning calliope
Imagine making a ride that's supposed to be safe based on one of the most brutal scenes in jurassic park history
Wrong
idk... I'm just imagining someone trying to pitch something like this in a regular zoo
"Come and walk directly with a wildebeest heard (who will turn you into a red smear if you even think about getting close to the babies)"
We desire babies
But yeah getting close to 99% of animals is going to remove your free warranty of life
But plant eater nice :)))
Loo (Primo's pegasus) be like
a lot of rides in jurassic park are super dangerous to be fair
Loo has decided Loo is the council of do the die
Also it's saturday, there's no lancer
but there's lancer thinkering
AKA will torture my players using their backstories
i think it can be fine if it was in the case of the river being full of prehistoric fish and really small dinosaurs around, like dryosaurus or something
but i know the game will allow me to put the canoe ride in the enclosure of a fucking trex so

altho canonically if they have the docile feature it should be fine?
of course they are
but at least most of them have the illusion of safety by being in a vehicle
there is nothing stopping a sauropod from going "i do not like your vibes" and squishing you into red mist
your mistake is thinking that sauropods will do anything to defend themselves in jurassic park 
biggest fucking animal and they portray them as gentle giants that dont stomp anything or use their tails as whips
Sauropod Balor
Now it's a Sauropod... with nanomachines
i cant wait for the babies in jurassic park for real
Fomorian Balor...
Fomorian Balor
also wouldn't it be very fun that ||Reverie gets a Heca?||
can i click that
no
why not?

I told you I was going to use the saturday for it
They're small comparatively but i think a dryosaurus could easily kill someone lmao
the fuck do you mean by comparatively small
this fucker is still person sized
but they are so cute like a puppy :(
of course they're cute
comparatively small compared to other dinosaurs, especially in jw
point is it would kick your ass
girl, my parents mini aussie kicks my ass every time i see him
this thing is killing me instantly 
new lancer mech but it turns you straight
i was going to say a lancaster but doesn't graey pilot one
Velociraptors are smaller still but I think they could still kill people
White Witch (it's ferrogenderfluid)
Like look at this goober, he small
i'd love one as a pet
Truly dinosaurs and birds aren't so different Insert Jurassic Park theme but played on Kazoo
-# It's first test run extracted the genderfluid from everyone there killing them instantly
Downloaded
correct, I am doing the Lancaster Gaming for Leviathans and carrying juiceboxes for the other mechs to use post-scene
which mech WOULD be the straight one
did someone say peak
is it even possible in lancer
lancaster mentioned
Raptor-4
barbarossa
what about the Saladin
saladin is also maybe straight but they're a lot nicer
are you sure?
John "Shitass" Harrison piloted one
bunzi piloted a saladin that already proved us wrong
honestly, tokugawa is a straight man and then enkidu is them post transition
no no it was built in his image
i think harrison's sal was like, actually a war machine. modern sal is a saint
-# this is like the 3rd/4th time i've posted this here
i think its funny that union often deploys sal to protect civilians. there's probably been a point where it's been deployed against HA
One doubled in size
thats my transition goals
So you can grow to be 6 feet tall?
become a cat girl twice my current size that attacks everything
LEO GO FUCK YOURSELF

i am a perfectly average height
catlet
stop bullying my favorite cat
I will bully my favorite cat if I damn please
...and since leo reacted with this, i might as well post Leviathan-Players 0 braincells moment lol?
do it
-# I almost had a spittake when i read what snek said...
i always thought the enkidu was size half for some reason
What
i always envisioned it as a vicious chihuahua
we have a modern analog to them 
look at those
I thought it was size 1 for the longest time until reality caught up with me
And I lost all desire to play it
Oh? What's this fella?
its a seriema
yes the Enkidu has chihuahua energy
however, this becomes a problem when the chihuahua is 30 feet tall
very famous for killing snakes by shaking them around
lancer no longer tonight :(
oh no
it'll be back next week to be clear
oh no is it the night of the game cancelations
yuuuup
we might have a game cancel tonight as well
i've had my dnd cancelled today as well lol
can I just send you my spare players
alas no
"hey guys, you want to be thrown into a game with ultra spoilers?"
Sounds like it might be the night y'all try to round up players for one-shots
Mean to the snakes
secretarybirds are worse imo
nana is sad because we don't have dnd, i am too, but hipo will give us lore so it's not all bad
they just kick them on the floor with disgust
fuck yeah the bird that punches you
love me a secretarybird
Fucking rude to the snakes
Secretary bird mourning cloak
in either sense of the word
I love that somehow @hearty whale 's character ended up being very secretarybird coded
mourning cloak power knuckles behaviour
i had around both secretarybirds and seriemas, its funny cuz the seriema just didnt fucking care i was petting it until it noticed and the secretarybird sometimes i felt that it was plotting warcrimes against me
I wouldn't mind Quil being my secretary
oh my god, shelly is a secretary bird
Holofurry
-# you're imagining Quil in a pencil skirt, aren't you
-# what am i reading
What? No
He's got the broker bond, he's specifically good at this
trust me, this is tame compared to our usual shenanigans
grab formorian frame but all the size increase is just in the legs, arms, neck, and legs
at pencil skirts
sounds fun! unfortunately i'd have to play dnd
i mean Quil is going through mental timeline fracturing, I'm sure there is one amongst the infinite Quils who would do that-
which one does he wear the skirt in. asking for a friend
Leviathans is cancelled
i knew they were problematic
-# why the flush....
"Let's let them surrender and then shoot them in the back of the head" bad mode
evil is hot
no this is not hot this is bad
evil is hot
evil is sometimes hot, not this time
Invader is horrified
morally gray = evil + hot
if they're hot its okay 
if they are hot it's not a warcrime
How evil are the people that are surrendering?
so all Harrison armory mech and nuclear cavaliers out there-
enkidu pilots be like
fictional evil is hot
pretty fucking evil
So Andros Capella is hot, okay
I mean...
"yes because flamethrower"
E0LEONOR NO
shut up i'll kill you
look, im not saying he's my type, but...
we do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it to” capella
Eleonor... if you can't sell me on Auntie Ethel from BG3 you sure as hell can't sell me on him

Then it's not the worst thing
hey, Auntie Ethel is my type
look
Which form?
yes
Yes
"yes"
lmao
auntie ethel's va work makes me horny enough that I agree absolutely.
i am passing judgement
I will die free!
PREPARE THYSELF
leo how did you have that ready so fast
... the customer is always right in matters of taste.
first result
its not just that it was abnormally fast
[BG3 Act 1 spoilers] Let me be clear, ||It's the greek tragedy level curses she inflicts for shits and giggles that makes it a no for me||
it's a normal reaction time???
Bad cat
