Also guns. Don't forget guns.
Either "this once" or "this one chance" would be okay here.
It's a joke. Don't think too hard about it.
I stopped doing that because the opinion of the majority of commenters was that it was annoying.
Thank you, corrected.
With a power ring. But if I was actually going to approximate it with a human mouth I'd probably try "Kilg-osho-rr".
"This is my hill-to-die-on. There may be many other hills-to-die-on out there, some larger or smaller, some flatter or steeper, and and I'm sure they are very nice hills-to-die-on. But this particular hill is mine, and that is just fine."
It's not really dying on a hill if no one dies.
That is because no one is attacking his position to the bitter end. Now that end might be old age. Too soon to tell.
Yes, better not to think too hard about the details. Mister Zencha is a wise man, it seems. After all, Goose, Golden Egg, all that jazz.
Ah, yes. The age old issue of automobiles old and new: Awkward-to-access wiring clusters. If you've ever had to have a mechanic or auto-electrician work on something like the dash panel system, I hope you tipped well. That shit's a pain to get at...
Hephaestus is more old-school, no matter what he's been learning. I doubt he'd put the effort in to make, say, an automata using modern electronics, for example. No, clockwork is good enough.
Probably wondering if OL wants him to do a little work on the android. In which case, he may want to charge extra.
So something is definitely making burps and bumps in the Earth's thaumic sphere, then.
Ah, Superhero comics, in which an artificial human can chat with a God and not have anything seem unlikely about it.
Not quite the Singularity, but kind of close. Probably more likely in DC Earth than ours, of course...
Ah, the joy of having someone
To be fair, that's probably how at least one DC AI came to be...
Hell, LExcorp's software development subsidiaries probably have something like that in their black projects ledger...
If anything, it would probably start out coming across as a bit of a pervert, because why else would humans devote so much of their information production to one subject like that?
Imagine an AI that thought real life worked like porn-movie logic...Well, when humans get an idea into their heads...
And neither of them seem the sort to carry on that sort of silliness.
...Ah, the 90's, coming out of a decade when Japan conquering the world through corporate methods was a lingering fear borne of the 80's. On the upside, it gave us things like Cyberpunk RPGs, comics and movies... Remember the Machine Man Limited series set in 2020? Or Marvel 2099?
"Too much bowing and humble 'This one believes...' for my tastes, for a start..."
That's quite a shakeup... But, given the Sheeda invasion, I could believe something like that coming out of an unsettled zeitgeist... Wonder if he can check in with Dream?
No doubt the Greek gods would remember the rise of their 'siblings'. Though I doubt it was quite as faltering as it is here.
The inevitable urge of the young and unsure deity to overturn their predecessors...
Concerned about something like a warp storm, OL? Thankfully the Earth's thaumic sphere is a lot more stable than the Immaterium. No need to worry about a group causing a Negative Space Wedgie through, uh... Let's go with 'enthusiastic recreational activities'?
...OH, there's a scary though. A literal God-Machine...
Because, you know, that's what some Imperial humans call the giant walking weapons platforms known as Titans...Oooh, boy. Good thing this isn't one of those, then...
Boy, now that's an interesting conversation to have with someone like Zatarra.
Yet more things for the to-do list. At least these are immediate, high-priority jobs.
Though I'd understand if they were willing to put things off for a bit... What with not-even-gods-know-what is going on...
He's a God, not a miracle-worker, Earl. He'd have to take some time to think about it, after all...
"...Figuratively speakin', ah course." Heh, that should make for some interesting dreams...
Nothing like a good puzzle to get the old thinking muscle working, eh? Hephaestus is going to be a little sore he's missing out... But then, he's probably busy with the 'new worshippers' thing involved in making meta-materials.
If anything, it would probably start out coming across as a bit of a pervert, because why else would humans devote so much of their information production to one subject like that?
By asking and having them say 'yes'.
I'm still stuck on the idea that they aren't worshipped. I mean shinto is the largest followed religion in Japan, with Buddhism being number 2(not that that really means anything considering how japanese culture doesn't see an issue with keeping the beliefs and practices of different religions exclusive with each other).
No.
