So lord started a little bit of a trend on the discord with those memes:

It takes time for him to heal.I get that there's a desire for immediate results, but Joe is working to change his mind the hard way, through therapy, self-reflection, and building a positive support network. That is much harder than just going in and editing his mental hardware, but it is the kind of thing with checks to make sure that you don't end up going off the deep end, which is a major concern for Joe.
You know what? Yeah this actually makes a lot of sense. Joes understanding of meta-ethics is probably degenerated beyond even his ability to repair.I've commented on this before, but there is a very good reason that Joe had been avoiding this kind of thing. Once you change the way you think you can no longer accurately predict what your future actions will be. It is a place where the slippery slope applies since the first part of altering your mind would involve eliminating the problem you have with altering your mind. After that, you cannot predict what kinds of future changes will be made. This was the exact path that Joe was on from his original trigger, and it is the kind of thing that can lead to a very dark place.
There is a very good example of this from Empowered. Neurospear, a telepath who edited his own mind, initially as a means of coping with his powers, but eventually taking him in new and disastrous directions.

Honestly, the weird thing is that the author response is only 3k.OH BOY! 3k words an upda-... wait a minute it's the celestial forge, that doesn't add up
Maybe that could be upgraded to unnatural skill linguistics. At the highest levels authors create languages to fit the fictional cultures of the worlds they imagine. I can see apieron creating a species and hardwiring a magical language into their instincts.What about Calligraphy as an Unnatural Skill? Joe could start writing with supernaturally perfect runes, glyphs, and lettering. Maybe even start writing letters that convey more than what is written. Probably wouldn't translate well to typing, but could grant some skills in font choice.
That makes me imagine Sight Grenades. Explosives that don't go off until somebody looks at the Correspondance glyph that is scribed on them. Maybe expand that to other Ward-type stuff?That would have some hilarious interactions with the Fallen London Correspondence. It probably wouldn't even end as badly as weaponizing neathbow colors... probably.
IDK about Apeiron doing that, but it's probably possible with the forge.Maybe that could be upgraded to unnatural skill linguistics.

Linguistics could be anything from computer code to magical scrolls and grimoires plus perhaps a double shot of enchanting and runes (glyphs and, well, runes, likely also enhances divine fairy letters) like Transmutation and Alchemy go together. I approve! Not that that means much as I am not the author...Maybe that could be upgraded to unnatural skill linguistics.

More like 8 to 9 hours from now.So, from comments I take it that Lord usually updates on Wednesdays, around 6 or 7 hours from now?
Thank you, I appreciate the response!
As I and others have said before. You owe us nothing. We pay none of your bills. Take care of yourself first you crazy kid.Regrettably, due to a work commitment I'll have to delay the next chapter. I was hoping to be able to get ahead of things and be able to keep my schedule, but, it's clear that's not going to be possible. As such, the chapter will need to be postponed. I'm sorry for the late notice and will commit to getting the chapter out next week.
Don't worry. Just found a 300k fic to tide me over for 3-4 days.I'm sorry for the late notice and will commit to getting the chapter out next week.

Can't, it's over on QQ so let's not discuss that.Come on now, that sounds like a recommendation!
Please... I have to fill the Celestial void.

I'm assuming you've read The Games We Play over on SB, so go ahead and start your yearly re read of that (everyone does that, right?).
