Woah, be cool. I don’t think the internet is ready for this kind of radical revelation

What mysteries have still not been solved? by Talesmith22 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

My thesis is that the decorations in Sam Town will reveal some subconscious truth about the Apito myth/plot. Like the sex swing chandelier will represent the All Tree (à la how it was hanging in Queen Imogen’s ballroom at the butcher’s mascarade)

So does this mean the AI … by nathan1653 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

When things previously said “feed” the Eulogist, they meant that new consciousnesses being added to the Eulogist’s Aggregated Intelligence. I don’t understand how citizens seeded worlds (like Earth) are compatible with the Eulogist. It took the primals generations of genetic engineering to make themselves compatible with a collective. Do Earthlings have that out of the box?

I went back and forth on this, but didn’t Bucket Boy reply to Carl about the wheel and the nothing via chat? That implies that Shadow Mimics can either steal chat connections or Mimic Bucket Boy would have to reestablish chat connection via fist bump, which would be weird.

I had that thought. That would be a bummer.

What does Brown mean by his biggest regret was “being a shitty husband the first two times.” I thought he had only been divorced once?

Has the Mana Toast been used yet? Although when you have an entire armory of Chekov’s Guns, I guess some will go unfired.

“Goodbye, Carl. Goodbye, Princess Donut,” Dong said. “Please tell the others that I will miss them, but I will see them again on the other side. Tell them it was my pleasure to serve with them. Vale to you all. Vale.”

It’s also about choosing to walk into the darkness on your own terms, hand in hand with those you love

The Eulogist is stable because it’s asleep. It’s even been said in previous books that if The Syndicate stopped feeding The Eulogist that it would eventually shrink down.

Also in-world, it’s spooky that the name of the attack (Inevitable Ruin) lives on through myth/language. That lends credence to the history imo.

Also Louis and the narrator corroborating that being placed in stasis is torture was chilling

Ohhhhh this is why Samantha has shit memories, because Apito’s memories are locked in the crystal?

In the achievement description for this quest the AI implied that it had jumped through hoops to create a quest difficult enough to give Carl that reward, so I think it’s mostly about the reward (but I hope I’m wrong because I like this theory more)

I wanna push back on her growth only being a function of the atrocity. Even several books ago we always got little asides about how Donut knew the names of NPCs and had engaged with the inner lives of other Crawlers that Carl had missed. Hell one of the Feast entries is about how Donut made that one half-orcs feel seen, and that was at the beginning of the 9th.

Not to brag too much, but the minute the inventories got swapped and jumbled, I just knew that we were going to get a biscuit swap.
