    It’s like a fantasy author that wrote himself into a corner.

    "Hmm, i can’t have Jesus and God be different people because i already said there was only one god, but i can’t have them be the same person because then he’ll be sacrificing himself to himself.

    Hm… Demigod maybe? Nah, too cliché, i’ll just leave it really vague and let the fans come up with something, maybe add a third character to make it seem intentional" - Some charlatan, 0BC



  • Oh yeah, i love greed island. It being an arc certainly keeps the novelty of the other world’s mechanics from getting old.

    To make it work as a full series you gotta have a lot more substance though, because at some point that novelty will inevitably run out. And now instead of “exciting new world where everything is different”, it’s just a regular world we’re already used to. At that point you gotta have an actual compelling story to keep it going.

    I’m sure you had fun, and if you think that improved your life then good for you. But my point is that whatever revelation you had while tripping is no deeper than what anyone has when they reflect on their lives a bit while sober. You identify with this meme not because whatever “great gnosis” you had is impossible to describe to us mere mortals, but because it really is that simplistic. The only reason you think of it so highly is because your senses were going wild while thinking it.

    Plus the whole “one with the universe” talk sounds very pseudosciency to me and i’m not sure if you’re just being metaphorical or you believe in magic now, so sorry if that’s not the case.













  • Here’s my own controversial take:

    Any and all alcoholic beverages taste like garbage, people simply get used to the bad taste because they’re expected to drink it and/or are alcoholics.

    Countless times i’ve been offered drinks that “taste good”, or that “you can barely taste the alcohol” and every single time they taste terrible. Even when there’s a hint of flavor behind it all, it is utterly ruined by the taste of alcohol.

    No amount of seasoning is gonna make your food taste good if you’ve already taken a dump on it.
