Kids love the taste of the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch® because it makes the screaming stop.

Yeah... conceptually, maybe one of the alchemy spells? Could take a high fire or earth pretender (probably the latter, for forging and conceptually bless. Though given it's Ermor you probably have plenty of room for bless, ha.) to squeeze out some more money. You could probably get by siphoning fire gems, at least, into your pocketbook as necessary. Earth to a lesser degree, but...

... anyone know how much gold an F10 or E10+ (base X9+boosters) pretender squeezes out per gem?

Ahh... back pain's back. Pretty much every movement feels like someone driving a spike into my spine. Including breathing, half the time. Gonna' be at least two weeks until I can get to a doctor about it, too. Not the first time it's happened, but... sucks. Will suck more. Terrible timing, to boot, but eh.

Your raw score was around double the next lowest, though. Having twelve to our six makes a rough sort of sense.

Of course, gig's probably should have been something like 3 going by that pattern but... eh.

If you don't go blind after the third shot, it's weak.
I'd like to think 205 proof booze would make you go blind just looking at it, ha.

Since it would probably take some kind of spatial anomaly to fit 102.5% alcohol into... anything, really. I'm not sure what beyond booze would be emitted by a self-perpetuating booze-source, but I can only imagine it would be less healthy than even the ethanol itself.

Anything less than 205 proof is weak.

Eh, that's more "standard fantasy trope" than mythos stuff specifically, I'd say.

Lovecraftian would be if the gods were horrible abominations from beyond the known universe. Then again, Nyarly is known for deception. It would be entirely in its purview to have created and spread that very story, strictly to give the people of Jack's world an unfounded hope that Aku can tear apart so as to sup upon their despair.

And that's without saying the possibilities inherent in giving the people a false hope that by supplicating the (non-existent) gods some form of succor can be achieved. Why, that would fit exactly into mythos-style shenanigans. Aku cultivating worship of the "gods" (in fact, other aspects of itself), removing and returning his influence as (entirely fabricated) proof of the power of the "gods", driving the misguided worshippers to greater and greater acts of depravity, self-flagellation, etc. I could entirely see the future Jack travels in as the results of a world Aku has lead to sacrifice their flesh and humanity to the worship of the current smith-god Aku has cultivated.

Which turns Jack's path of destruction through the mechanized forces of Aku into something entirely different.

I can see it, really. At some point post-series Jack comes across one of the conversion factories that are replacing the bodies of children with forms of steel and oil. The realization.

E: And Nyarly/Aku is precisely the kind of dick that would create that entire scenario for that exact moment. And then probably send Jack back in time to do it all over again, knowing what he now knows.

oh

well that's kinda' boring

In that case, I kinda' think both would be screwed sideways. Jack would get force choked like a fool, Yoda would get Aku'd into the distant past or somethin'. Unless the whole laser beams thing went along with Yoda to face Aku. Then maybe Yoda would make it. Yoda would depend on how much the sword likes him, basically. Or if hokey jedi hors- ah... powers  has something for dealing with Akus. I'd bet on Aku, though. Aku's kinda' broken, from what I remember. Or would be, if he wasn't vaguely an idiot.

Jack would be screwed, though, I'm sad to say. Zapchokezap, etc. Force is kinda' hax. Unfortunately, the wrong sort of hax for dealing with Akus. How choke thing with six lungs?

... did kinda' make my mind bend, just then. It would make a disturbing amount of sense if Aku is, in fact, Nyarlathotep. Tall, slim, joyous man, thousand maddening forms, fondness of deception and manipulation, many followers... bloody hell. Aku is the Crawling Chaos.

Yeah, I take it back. Yoda's buggered.

E: Samurai Jack actually being set inside lovecraftian mythos is suddenly making entirely too much sense. Halp.

Relatively sure Jack's sword would rebel if Yoda got a hold of it. Above and beyond the bullshit ancestor ion cannon malarky, m'half positive th'bloody thing's at least partially sentient and doesn't like anyone but Jack.

... beyond that, I would entirely bet on Yoda if it were opener!Jack. Iirc, that was backstory/pre-show Jack, and that Jack is notably weaker than Jack at the end of the show. He can't even jump good, yet, or call on the power of dead people to spontaneously manifest orbital strikes. End-game Jack, though... that's a harder choice. Yoda's damn good, but is he "dodge ion strike" good? Yoda has near infinite levels in "tiny badass" but Jack has plot laser. That's a toss-up to me, providing Yoda doesn't just say "Yeah, fuck it" and force choke/lightnings a fool.

Assuming they fight, anyway. Which. Probably. They've both got pretty strong reason to duke it out if there's not a peaceful solution.

Are they like. Commercial banana chips? Or home made?
Commercial. I... don't think I've ever actually had home made banana chips. Believe I'll put that on the metaphorical list. And maybe a physical list, too.

Ruddy delicious as is, though.

Sweet mother of biology teeth can actually grow down there.

Yeah, that's that. I'm done. Fuck you, intelligent design. Either there is no god or god is dead and Satan Angra Mainyu has crafted existence.

Temporarily forgot I had banana chips. Just remembered I have banana chips. Hell yeah, banana chips.

They are best snack. Right now, anyway. Maybe second best, sometime tomorrow.

What I've learned from this session is AI War scoring is an eldritch abomination of incomprehensibility. Part of me wonders if it doesn't just go up randomly in order to give people pretty numbers to look at.
