The first real conversation Podima and I had in private was about how, at the time, Kash was not yet properly prepared for Madoka.

This only just occurred to me and is obviously an omen.

Please PM me with a character name - or a word in english you'd like me to fiddle with in order to arrive at a name for your character.

Also - so many of you selected "yo whatever mang" for Caste/Tradition/Faction - so the time quick approaches when that'll be finalized, peep up if'n you've developed a preference

that includes you, wait-crew

you were, I believe, don't quote me, but I believe, the very first to have every entry of yours bolded because you'd made a firm decision - even if you were willing to wiggle

just ran through and updated the internals with all the names that've been submitted - really, really good, guys. I'm especially enjoying those of you who are giving me the opportunity to wiggle you into the setting without giving more away - "derivative of"s and suggestion words - often just knocking it out of the park yourselves tbh

lookin' for one word names for newcomers on account of you being jungleborn and all

I think mine was specific enough with enough wiggle room for you to make something of it. I hope that's good!

I spent real, tangible, minutes of my life just looking at the end of your post and thinking, "Why did he choose to share that?"

"... Is it pithy? It's got to be pithy."

"... Dear god, what if he isn't being pithy?"

"... Is it 90's puzzle adventure games? Or - Or just Mafia? Maybe Myst specifically?"

"... Or maybe he just makes all of his decisions while hard. Maybe that's what he meant. And he just ... wants to talk about that lifestyle."

"... What is this dark and terrible cloud of dread I feel now? From whence did it come?"

It was about then I noticed that the humor was focused on the fact that you had used the word hard previously in the same sentence. And honestly, I was a little disappointed. But you know, sometimes art grows into something the artist never really intended. And as a short immersive exhibit, your post was an invasive, inspired, surrealist experience. I doubted everything I knew about normative human interaction and Internet communities. I was provided with real, tangible, minutes of entertainment. It touched my soul and changed me as a person.

Keep making art.

That's a mistake, bud. That liter of blood could have been better used elsewhere.

Fortunately I castrated myself as soon as I watched a video of the horrors of venereal diseases so it's never been a problem for me.

Does that mean they're rebooting the franchise?
