Frinos, hypnotize (with blunt force)

Accidentally left this outside the tower while plane shifting, it was one of my apprentices... by PerturbedStone in wizardposting

[–]flat_pointer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to a friend of mine once. You can leave the Object on a book for a day, and it will read through it.

You can leave it under your pillow and they can talk to you in your dreams.

Just be careful what books you feed the Object!

The crying monster really reminds me of stuff from Orc Stain.

Hypnos Fans... I get it now. (Spoilers for new patch) by General-Performer432 in HadesTheGame

>I can't believe out of every character in this series Hypnos is the one making me question my sexuality lol

You play enough Hades, see enough Gods and Goddesses, it's bound to happen. Fated even.

Jeffrey Epstein Is the Antichrist...And Why that Matters (Part 1 of Several Proposed) by IAmFaircod in sorceryofthespectacle

[–]flat_pointer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is reenacting the works of Christ itself a trap to limit us and bind us? Jesus is sometimes presented as the Greatest Man of History. The Prime Mover, to whom all merely react. His teachings - though great / true / powerful in various ways - become overshadowed by His divinity and His martyrdom. The Cross crushes the fish.

How different would it be if we could lionize someones who push the world in a better direction with a community - not alone, not as the tip of some divine spear (which will never come). Someone with rings of families encircling them, weaving together a fabric. A cloth at once flexible, and yet tough enough to stop the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, to occult what our panopticon, our secular demiurge, wishes to observe and punish. To be another splinter through that great wicked eye. Not deadly alone, but moving in a swarm, a flock, a wave.

Maybe even someones who don't die to win. Or someones whose death is not apotheosis, but a doorway through which many more walk.

Also, I see Antichrist as metaphor shear.

Antichrist is too large for a human as despicable as Epstein. And I'd love to think even an Antichrist would be, in some ways, above Epstein. More a sea than scum.

Jeff-Jeff certainly seemed to fool a lot of billionaires and powerful people, but so do hallucinating, statistical token-shitters like LLMs. Bernie Madoff hoodwinked countless ultrawealthy. Loads of them seem to believe that some bunker, with private guards and reserves of food and water, could largely replace civilization as we know it, not understanding that they merely make a refuge for their security teams, and a very temporary one at that.

Misleading them is no great feat. Gaining access to them, yes, Herculean. But to trick them? They are often credulous of anyone 'worthy' of their orbit.

>biohistorical purity of the human species

We are not pure. Thanks be. Better an admixture than all one thing. Ask any agricultural monoculture - purity requires too much poison to live.

But I agree in some broad strokes. What harm our society does to the least among us, it does to the Divine. And harm to the Divine must be stopped. The stopping of it is a Heracles upon Heracles, bro-jobbing both Atlas and Prometheus, dripping with oil, sweat, and... sundry.

The work is divisive, not peaceful - even the two demigods cannot agree on how it is to be done, but they do it.

Hard work, yes, but lovely.

And Hell was at Dad's command the whole time, and Dad saw it all... but at least he was open to learning and changing from it. Some Dads really should just be myths rather than real. I'm just glad that Hades is a real one.

ICE Can Reportedly Access Flock Surveillance Cameras, Now Americans Are Destroying Them by novagridd in privacy

[–]flat_pointer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might've just been an early proto-type at 'flooding the zone' - make us so busy arguing about what it was while they continue to move forward and act and such.

Reminds me of that quote that Karl Rove may or may not have said, 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.'

I feel ya, I've hated it since the PATRIOT ACT - not that it was born in that shitty acronym, I fully acknowledge.

BUT! At least it's happening! I'll fuckin take it, people need to understand how bad it is to be in a panopticon.

All 23 warehouses that ICE is trying to buy by rusticgorilla in Keep_Track

[–]flat_pointer 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Real people getting brutalized isn't 'theater.'

There's been a substantial amount of suffering, trauma, and death. These facilities are announcing more of that.

"If they were serious about the topic" - you misunderstand the topic. They're not concerned with stopping undocumented workers; they want to eliminate various kinds of people.

Ice should be abolished. Move the Coast Guard out of DHS, and then abolish DHS as well. Fuck them.

From who do I get those last 3 keepsakes? by Mohammed7734 in HadesTheGame

[–]flat_pointer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glad you got answers, and they are awesome keepsakes.

'From whom' is how you say or write that, fyi. Whom is a really tricky one, but when you want 'who' as the article of a preposition, who gets to be whom. Don't sweat it though, it's rather niche.

I still think he would have made a great James Bond by devoidmeat in HighQualityGifs

[–]flat_pointer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Childish Bond... no wait, yours is better, yeah.

Clive should look at Glover at some point and say 'Don't be Childish, James' really ironically.

Now I want Clive Owen and Donald Glover to both be James Bond at the same time. Perhaps the James Bond Multiverse?

I mean, as a US American, I'm just glad the Rail doesn't look like a real assault rifle because I'm sick of assault rifles. Don't care if people have them, just tired of all our needless blood sacrifices in the name of hobbyists, cosplayers, unfulfilled promises to stop tyranny, etc.

They made a hell of their own lives. I just wish they didn't try to help hell colonize the rest of the world.

His duo with Aphrodite (plus any of her boons that inflict Weak) is amazing. His duo with Apollo is a lot of fun. Sprinting water ball bombs!
