I've been taking it as given that the towers are from the Knights of Oblivion, both because of the materials and the missing memories.

Yeah, I'm not sure that the Summer and Winter Courts are the same kind of thing as precure fairies. Pandora mentioned the "Courts of the Fae" as one of the four kinds of Earth life (alongside the Den of the Beasts, the Halls of Man, and her children), but precure fairy kingdoms might actually...

I mean, she wasn't exactly shocked when Minori called herself the Princess of the Lunar Kingdom. Sato goes wrong in 1) assuming that our efforts to help the world are a cynical plot to control it and 2) assuming we are planning to take over Japan specifically.

Is that... just a weird hypothetical or...?

I seem to recall "Glus" being specifically named as one of the "lesser" sea monsters that people on the surface actually had names for.

I think as far as Unnati is aware, the Senshi are "just" gods.

It seems like she regained something at the end there

But which geoid do they use to define altitude? In all seriousness, getting a really precise measurement is probably impossible, and even if it were, their target is moving around so it's no very useful. Narrowing it down to a hundred kilometre radius is probably good enough, at that point you...

Ultimately, most people don't actually want to have a hobby of messing around in their computer's internals, they just want it to work, and will pick their devices and software accordingly. This is a difficult bridge for open source software to cross, because it's developed by people who do want...

I think they mean Curtis Yarvin a.k.a. Mencius Moldbug, a rather long-winded neo-reactionary intellectual, and it's "princes" not "princess", though I don't think the analogy is very close.

I think this approach works: 1) have someone (Eve) go far away to a known location. Can use landmarks or GPS to locate her exactly. 2) Sage stands somewhere locally with an also known location 3) Sage makes visible around her her links to Eve and Lyra 4) Brigid measures a few triangles between...

I do remember high school trigonometry and I'm still not sure what they're proposing.

Oh, I totally missed connection this as a kid, but is Dread Mountain meant to be where the Grey Guards get the burning poison for their Blisters?

Have you all forgotten that Senshi interventions have been modelled as a flat bonus, not a separate roll? Jupiter is part of why the West Gate had a higher bonus than the North Gate. The follow-up roll is the Godbinder response and Jupiter's resistance to it.

"If you think you've met a messenger from God, check if they have physical substance" is also good life advice for other reasons
