When you go crazy snake-god, you will never live it down. Either because you turned into a giant snake and got killed, or because it was so embarrassing to so many people that nobody forgives or forgets.

Actually, he's gotten more attention for the post-Roanoke interview than the eyes.
That being said, I think this date is going to go terrifically well.

Oh boy, after trying to ignore the title for a while he finally goes ahead and accept it just to be called out for one of the truly scary things he did.

Guy and Tora are so cute together!
The number of alien races alone doing stuff is big.
@Mr Zoat are the Omega Men a thing and would Paul try to team up with them to try and clean up the system so it's stable?
Well Paul at least has a good excuse for that and hopefully won't ruin the date.
Having seen this read up more on Vega and oh boy is there a lot of stuff happening in there that needs a Lantern to fix up.

They exist, but he doesn't have much data on them and... Frankly, none of them are Lantern-grade anyway.
Thank you, corrected.

Hahaha. Poor Paul doesn't even remember it.
He's going to offer an orange ring to Vril Dox? Ummm.... Paul, that's a bad idea.

Oh! I can answer that one!
I mean is makes sense in hindsight, if you combine your knowledge Hitlers prior career as an struggling artist, with Meta knowledge of Tropes like "The Picture of Dorian Grey" and "Doctor Who"
Honestly I stumbled on it myself by virtue of being a completionist. I stumbled on a painting by Hitler somewhere, and it was bad, really really bad, and I passed it off as an Easter Egg. Then I found another painting by Hitler, and it was also really bad, but it was a different picture then the first one. So I saved and spent the energy for a world wide scan looking for more. Found a few more, each one unique. At this point I knew something was up, because there was no collection of Hitler paintings being tracked in the album, they were not grouped together in inventory if you collected them, could not put them in the Trophy room, no "Hitler Paintings Viewed" stats section, nothing. Yet some artist rendered a unique picture for each and every painting that only appears once in the game. I was intrigued.
So I went and started a new game, and that OL apparently thought, "So, I am stranded in a strange dimension, obviously the very first thing I should do is to scan for paintings by Hitler." And there were some new ones I did not know about! Someone was warding Hitler Paintings in my old game! Now I was a god with a bone. I kept the new game going, and did something I had never done before, avoiding the "Shine a light on the Shadows" and all similar quests, as gaining reputation points from those quest lines makes your opponents ward against you) but went ahead and researched the "Ward busting" tech tree in Atlantis any way... If you get near the end without doing anything to trigger the ward upgrades, AND upgrade your Ring Analysis Tree, you can find a Painting by Hitler in the Louvre! A Good painting, not the crap every single one of his other paintings looks like, which is why you need to upgrade the Analysis Tree, so the Ring can identify it.
So that is how you can find out about it. There are also some clues in the Muse Loyalty Quest lines. If you steer the conversation in the right direction while the Muse is wearing a Spell Eater (you should give one to everybody, just good practice) she reminisces about Hitler like he was a good artist!
Outside the game, if you look at the Muse Trophy achievements, the flavor text is also a hint. Basically, Hitler did used to be a talented artist. And a dabbler in the occult. And a worshiper of the Norse. So he used the Spear of Destiny, and the Ritual Odin used to sacrifice his eye for knowledge, to sacrifice all his Artistic fame and talent, to create an inevitable destiny of power for himself. That last good painting of Hitlers is all that remains of the old timeline, and in fact contains that timeline within it. As long as it exists, Hitler's rise to power is a fixed point in time, and cannot be changed.
And there in the Rub. The painting can only be destroyed from the inside, and getting there requires you perform a Quintessence Waveform Scan, and enter through the Honden of Avarice (Timelocks are hard to break), Which needs the Ophidian. But the Ophidian quest line makes enemy wards on the Painting so strong, you will never break through with a scan to find it.
Basically it is new game plus content. You need to find out about it in one play through, and actually fix it another. That is why is seems like a Guide Dang It!
You get a Funny just for this line.

I really hope this doesn't suddenly turn serious, like if she knew someone who died from a heart attack from being surprised from the eyes.
I mean, statistically speaking some people probably died from that, especially if they where driving and stuff.

Ha! Guy is the best.
Wait, no, Mr Zoat is the best.
Finally someone remembers him for something other than the cake! He gotta be happy, right?
Excellent, really looking forward to seeing the rest of this date. Here's hoping it doesn't keep skipping ahead.
That should be "effect".

The SI doesn't actually know that Braniac was originally named Vril Dox.

"No, no, no, that was all the snake!"
"Really?"
"Of course, I was busy making a cake.. " The sudden appearance of a glowing orange lantern grabs everyones attention. They watch as a massive serpent sinuously emerges.
"That is not how I remember things Paul. If you have finished telling filthy lies why don't you introduce me to your little friends?"
