Any attempt to show something from another culture: An insincere attempt at showing you are racially tolerant while not actually meaning it. As for me, I can't wait to see what kind of crazy-rear end Mictlan poo poo we run into here. Xolotl would be pretty cool, as another dog-god. (He's associated with the Mexican Hairless Dog.) Not to mention, you know. Our Coyote is at least part Huehuecoyotl. There's a whole lot of Coyote out there.

It's more likely that we'll just end up learning more about the Psycopomps, like where they take people when they die.

Yeah but people are saying that just because the skull imagery looks slightly Mexican that means the massive Latin American population of the court is going to come out of the woodwork.

Somebody suggests a Latin American student might play a part (read: Paz), and some expectations of possibly Native/South American psychopomps showing up.

I'm saying that acting like there's some upsurge of WE DEMAND LATIN AMERICAN CULTURAL TOLERANCE HOUR is exaggerated and wellNot a thing that's happening. Chillax. Personally I am expecting some Native American flavored psychopomps and nothing more.

And there are significantly fewer of those than yours. Also, goddamn you people, Spain is in Europe. gently caress's sake.

Captain Oblivious posted:Another angle that I don't think has been really touched on: How is the Court itself going to react when the Great Leap Forward begins? The Court strikes me as reactionary and interested in control above all else, and I for one fully expect them to take steps that incite robo-rage. The Court is interested in mankind attaining godhood. Why should the Court oppose it? Kat is making some of the biggest steps in attaining the Court's overall objective in generations, and giving promising talents the resources and the opportunity to develop them is the whole reason for the children to be there. The Court might step in if things go too far, but having a second, more reasonable Diego on the roster, as the child of Court staff, is awesome for them. The Court is more likely to err on the side of not intervening than the opposite. Fangz fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Jan 2, 2014 |

Does Tom get money if I order straight from Archaia Entertainment instead of TopatoCo? TopatoCo doesn't have volume four in stock, and also volume one is gone forever I guess? I saw a leather-bound volume one for $50 on Archaia and that was it.

I am inclindd to suspect bio organic robots have absolutely nothing to do with their seemingly more ether conttolling approach. By all appearances they want the ether to obey them utterly and completely. Robot transcendence is a potentially uncontrollable variable.

I would think buying direct from publisher would allow him a bigger piece of the pie. I mean, wouldn't the Topatoco copies have both the publisher's cut and Topatoco's cut? I admit that I don't know how this works.
