Flexes ARG solving muscles All right, here we go again. btw, I am absolutely stealing this idea for one of my landmark post counts sometime in the future. Or maybe for my shardiversary next year.

Radriarc had had enough of this standing around and talking, nothing was happening! He decided to take action. He ran. He ran as fast as he could down the street, uncaring of the danger behind him, uncaring of anything at all. Suddenly it all came crashing down on him. The stress of the past few days caused something inside him to snap. What am I DOING?!? These past few days have been utterly ridiculous!!! Me, in danger. Me, being hunted by shady organizations. Me, breaking and entering. Me, finding people from entirely different fracking UNIVERSES!!! NONE OF THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! I’m putting everything on the line just by being here!!! I’m was putting things on the line that I have no right to. I’m risking others, others that matter a lot more than me, just by being on this planet. And now I’m getting mixed up in conflicts that span the whole Cosmere? Even beyond the Cosmere?!? It’s just impossible! It’s madness! It’s surreal! Thats it! This has to be some sort of dream, it has to! Wake up, wake up wake up wakeupwakeupwakeupwakeup! But he would not wake up. And so he ran. He ran, and he screamed. He ran until he couldn’t see anyone in the group anymore. He couldn’t see those strange children with weapons, the little girl from another universe, the man who invented weapons that could destroy entire civilizations, the figure in red who had always subtly reminded Radriarc of fillet, he ran until they were all out of view. He couldn’t tell if the man, Kacen, was chasing him or firing those spikes at him, but it didn’t matter. He was aware in the back of his mind that this wasn’t right. Even for him, this was unnatural. He didn’t try to stop. He ran and ran and ran, reaching the other side of Elendel completely. His legs gave out, and he collapsed against a wall. His face felt wet. His throat felt raw. He couldn’t seem to feel his legs whatsoever. After lying against the wall for an unknown amount of time, Radriarc had a brief moment of lucidity. Well that was bad timing, he thought, before passing out into a deep state of unconsciousness.

That is a satisfying combination of numbers right there. 33377999111

Radriarc jumped. “Where the heck did those come from?!?” I’m really confused as to this guys motives, Radriarc thought. What is his plan here? What does he want? “What?!? You’re saying you didn’t just find these children and weapons, you have a weapon stash?!? And a child stash?!? I’m so confused.”

I have not, but on the topic of similar Hollow Knight games, I played the Demo of a game that’s called (I think) Ori and the something-or-other, and it looks really fun, very very similar to HK. I’m definitely gonna pick it up once it goes on sale. Or maybe I’ll get impatient and buy it anyway.

But...forum game posts don’t count toward it, do they?

Well this has been an interesting thread to read, and I’ve decided to give my 2 cents. First off, I’ve never thought about any of this before, not really. I’m just a kid in high school, haven’t exactly been rigorously studying ancient philosophy. Basically all of my ideas and information on this debate have come from this thread. So in a way, you could view my choice as choosing the winner of the argument, since I’ve had almost no outside information presented to me. I’m joking of course, if anything that would only prove which side had the better persuasive writers. Unless we live in a deterministic universe, in which case it proves absolutely nothing, as my choice wasn’t actually a choice. Anyway, I think I’ve decided to believe in free-will. Mainly because I felt that the arguments pro-free made more sense, but I did come up with a few ideas of my own while reading all of this. So, a Deterministic Universe operates under the idea that all of my choices could be predicted before I do them, given enough information. There’s this classic idea in math relating to infinity, where it’s impossible to list all the numbers between 0 and 1. I could always go diagonally down the list, taking one number at a time, and end up with something that is not on the list. I figure this idea can somewhat be transferred over to this debate. Say you have a sufficiently powerful computer, that has predicted every thing I might do in a given scenario. I could look at that list, take one minuscule element from each possibility, and do that thing instead. Theoretically, the computer wouldn’t have predicted that. I’m sure this is completely flawed reasoning, I’ve already spotted some holes in it myself, but that’s what came to my mind while reading so I thought I’d share. I do think that even if Free Will can not necessarily be proven, it can be proven that we don’t live in a truly Deterministic universe. All those sub-atomic random events that someone was talking about earlier, they will add up eventually. Even with an infinitely powerful computer, you couldn’t perfectly predict what today would look like if you started the simulation at the Big Bang. Those random events would stack up enough over billions and billions of years, and the computer wouldn’t be able to perfectly determine what the present looked like. Again, I’m literally just a high-schooler, but I thought that that might make my viewpoint somewhat interesting. A first-timer to this infamous debate. Feel free to ask me some questions I guess, if you want to try and convert me the other way, or if you want to see my first impressions on a different way of thinking.

Eh that’s fine, my point about consistency still stands right?

I like to have multiple people from the same culture have similar naming schemes. For example, my character in the FOtT world, Radriarc. Honestly, I’m still not sure if I like that name, but I am going to use the naming scheme of “-iar” followed by a hard consonant. So other names from his culture could be Leviart, Hethiarm, Kompliark. None of those were particularly good, but they were easy to come up with because I had a pre-set idea for how to form the names.

Ooooh, there’s a PM? Can I join? I play the game a lot. Anything other than 2 imp skeld is bad and wrong.

How many waves are there also, I have the perfect argument for turning you to the Dumb Side. You say that you have to correct us, because it’ll cause Frustration to the most people, well, to that I say QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. Condensation’s and Drama Queen’s Frustration at bad grammar vastly out-powers the mild Frustration of all the Idiots in this thread at being corrected.

Hold up. Since when. This entire thread is literally 1.1k pages of exactly that. I get not wanting spam, but that’s literally the entire essence and identity of this thread. If you want to hide posts like that, you’d have to just delete this thread, it’s 99.999% one word posts. A lot of those are even one letter posts.

Well you mis corrected my idiocy so you lose AGAIN. BEGONE.

Ah ah ah, Didd ewe knot here ze parrtt abut beng REPLLED? Begun thow uv “gud gwamer”

If we’re being consistent, which all grammar police should be, it should be: Tis’ such a pleasure... Can’t just use some archaic terms and not others. quite well, thank you. Commas, the Holy Grail of Grammar Police. You should be ashamed. and what of yourself, Lady Condensation? titles should be capitalized. and so it has been proven that the raiders are themselves incompetent in the matters of Grammar. And so they are repelled, and idiocy may once again reign supreme. gud dai.

Who in turn wondered who [Expunged] was.

“Why is he threatening to kill you?” Radriarc asked Venten. “He knows you destroyed your notes, the only way he can get the info he wants is from you personally. You did destroy those notes right?” “He could just be a coinshot,” Radriarc noted quietly, “but given his general power and confidence I’d doubt it.” “How do you know her name? What are you playing at?” Radriarc asked the man, shouting to make up the distance between them. Radriarc overheard this, and casually took a step forward as he spoke, actually stepping in front of Miera intentionally, to offer some cover, or at least a human shield. @I Used To Be A Fish @Frustration @A Windrunner @Negative_Null

This makes me unreasonably mad.
