Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

... that is difficult to quantify in human terms. But I used to keep track of time via artificial suns burning out. I got tired to resetting that so I just say I'm roughly a few thousand aeons old. Though I suppose a more effective show of power is demonstrating what I alone can do on a battle field they never seem to be awe inspired by the logistics of sustaining trillions of organic lives within the sol ringworld.

Interestingly, I do know about some Sparks who worked with dimensional travel. I don't think any of them managed multiversal travel at all, so I do not think you have any real reason to intervene just yet, but still.
Worryingly, just about all of them were evil nutcases. Lucrezia Mongfish, Lord Snackleford, Robur Heterodyne— You get the idea (thanks to this site's pothole system I just abused). The only non-evil one I know of was Prof. Homlomium.

I will say I've been monitoring your reality for quite a while. castle eaten probes not withstanding. But they've all not come close enough to stable portals for me to be all that worried yet.

I'M BACK AND I SAVED CURRENCY YEEHAW
so uh. if you're wondering what happened, i'm fine. got locked up in prison for the umpteenth time ALONG with the gal (!) who ran the rogue crypto servers, we managed to break out and steal a police spaceship. helts, as she's called, is currently working on getting the servers back that the ate guys who raided her ship took out, and I'm chillin
also there were centaurians during the escape that unwittingly helped create chaos, but i doubt they would be there if i hadn't blown up a watchtower beforehand. so i'm gonna take credit for that
anyways what chaos did i miss

Sure, I'm in a good mood today. Got to tussle with Ultra Magnus again which is always more fun than killing weakling Autobots. Though some guy called Chromedome seemed to recognize me from somewhere, something about me killing his friend or whatever. Like I'm some psycho who keeps track of that after so many kills.

I went to university. In Paris, to be exact. I visited the rest of the city often, too.
I was his classmate. I feel like I should give context: up till very recently, Paris was a chaotic mess where tons of madboys would (among other things) hide from law enforcement.
Just to let you know, I'll take "Kamishiro Mark II" as a compliment.
Picture hundreds of Kamishiros in one place. That's our university experience.

Honestly, the fact that the Master managed to oversee the whole place and keep it something that somewhat resembled order is fascinating. I'd imagine running the city was like a juggling act.

How is everyone doing so far today? I feel kind of exhausted from my intense workout earlier today. And my legs are hurting quite a bit, so I'm currently doing some research on complex geometry, which has a lot of applications in theoretical physics, apparently. It's a very advanced field in mathematics. What about you, Marnie?
Well, Piers and I performed at the concert. It was awesome, and nothing went wrong, so that's a plus. Currently we're having some food at the after-party. It tastes really nice.
Good to hear! Congrats on the performance!
Thanks. By the way, one of those trailer record labels I was following is producing yet another orchestral album, this time an adventure orchestral album. It's their 5th one, and the previous one was released last November, which is only around 6 months or so ago. I kind of find it annoying that they somehow have time to do all of these orchestral albums but not to do sound-design albums like they did in the past.
Enough with your talk about orchestral music, Marnie! You keep talking about them despite claiming to not like them, that must mean you do like them, right? You're obsessed with them!
Hey, that's not true! I just feel frustrated that they're not focusing on genres that I really enjoy anymore.
It's okay, Marnie. We all feel that way sometimes. I think you should do what you do best and not focus on what other people do with their musical interests.
That makes sense, thanks Kyoka. Anyone else have any interesting updates they'd like to share?

Our day is going pretty swell.
What food you had at the after-party Marnie?
Carmine at the Beach
We had a lot of cookies, including chocolate chip and caramel flavors, and lots of drinks such as lemonade and orange juice. Oh, and we also had a lot of noodles and pizza and stuff, it was delicious.
That seems like something I should try out more when I have the opportunity.
Me too. My stomach is now growling just from you guys mentioning it.

You genuinely don't know? I would've thought you at least besides the mad things that did would know. I cant exactly tell you the method Seeing as I wasn't even around to record the event But based upon the methods I have for creating extradimensional platforms and extensions I'm assuming they made your very being that region the law of that area of chaos outside their immediate reality... Could've also simply worn thin the area till law started bleeding through and stabilized it via other methods. I am simply unsure All i know that your stable outside of it which tells me enough about it. Normally anything outside of it is simply worn down to nothingness or becomes chaos itself.
Anyhow in short I don't know I have no way of checking without directly setting up a team on you to study the area since I didn't have a record of when it happened.

Here's a little story: people in my homeworld are currently developing AI. And there's one AI that's very popular, which goes by the name of ChatGPT - it's famous for being able to produce convincing and (most of the time) accurate responses to a wide variety of prompts.
What it's not good at, however, is chess. Or maybe it is, except it's playing a chess variant that's far into the future, where all kinds of new moves have been invented, because people have challenged it, which led to some very interesting games...
Here's a commentated game. Enjoy the watch.

Well, as for what's going on with us, we had the chance to relax a bit today. I helped fix up our hotel's heaters since they were a bit off yesterday. There's also dinner with one of the airship captains tonight.

So from what I gather, something something law, something something chaos. Are these "law" and "chaos" ... cosmic forces, so to speak?
Please visit the "AITA" forum game

Law itself isn't a exactly cosmic force chaos is about the only thing that can be thought of that way but it fundamentally breaks down causality so it isn't useful to really think of it like a force. Law I'm simply using as a catch all its a set of rules typically different between realities. Difficult to explain without just sending archive data and that would effectively show how to travel as well.

Ooh, "law" as in literal law. Got it. And "chaos" in the scientific sense. Makes sense. Mostly.
