Xariphon

I’m a forgettable nobody, so, Michael Cera.

Like having cancer and AIDS at the same time.

I used to do Renaissance Faires.

“Wild Mountain Thyme” was the song the entire cast sang together at the end of each day, my first year.

It hits me like a truck every time.

All 13 of Erebus’s Black Crusades aren’t better. >…>

The Horus Heresy. When you see what the Emperor’s vision actually was, and really get to compare it to the galaxy they got, it’s just… so much worse. And the galaxy is pretty goddamn bad to begin with. But you know there’s a special place at the very bottom of hell for Erebus.

Magnus did nothing wrong and Russ has fleas.

Mine is an old Black Crusade character name. The original Xariphon was a scholar-warrior.

I’m shocked he got any consequences at all. His magic costume must’ve not been enough to grant immunity for once.

I want to see games with AI-powered NPCs making responsive, possibly unique dialog. Probably text-only at first, but maybe with AI voice-acting later on.

Yeah, that’s the real thing: “the economy” is how well the country is working for rich people and corporations. Look at average wages, actual buying power, etc. What’s in the hands of the worker. That’s the actual measure of how well a country is doing. Grotesque inequality is a condemnation, regardless of what the stock market is doing.

Right? I’m sitting here like “this has to be satire… right? But it’s just absurd enough not to be…”

On hotdogs. Or pretzels. Or sausages.

Mine is the name of a character I used to play tabletop.

He was a Chaos Space Marine.

I think I’ll be okay.

Any excuse to further marginalize young people and exclude them from society. Fellow old people never fail to disappoint me.

I used to hate Jenny but I have more sympathy for her now. She’s a scared, broken person too.

We ordered in from our favorite Indian joint. They’re a little expensive so it’s kind of our go-to “special occasions” treat.

You’d be shocked at what military instruction books you can find online.

Hulk Repellent.

More seriously: prep time, massive amounts of sedatives, or a phone call to Superman to get him to deal with it instead.

See also, any time Batman has had to deal with similar DC villains: Doomsday, Darkseid, Bane, etc.

I barely remember that show. Was that his character’s name?

I’ve always thought the name Buchanan sounded… Not cool per se but… Atmospheric? Like it could only belong to one of those old-money families up to their eyeballs in secret societies and mystery.
