thats true
kind of a shame though
what kinds of programs did you make?

[crouching_sin]

A demon summoning program was my last big project.

[callbacks]

[...]

that sounds fun
cant imagine the kind of hilarious bugs youd get in the alpha stages though

[crouching_sin]

Explosions, mostly - fortunately I know how to do the summoning circles perfectly by now. The biggest issue was getting the Cathedral of Shadows addition up and running to fuse demons together. There were some... fairly hideous results.

[callbacks]

the what now
i mean i get the fusion thing that makes sense but what does church have to do with programming

[crouching_sin]

Like a dark cathedral. An anti-cathedral. Again, we're dealing with demons here.

[callbacks]

you said anti cathedral and i immediately thought like antimatter
or like dark matter or whatever the stuff inside black holes is called
but thats not what you mean right you mean like an opposite church not a
what would you call it
its not the kind of anti church that youd add to a church to get back to zero
its just a demon church
right

[crouching_sin]

Yeah, no. I'm dealing with demons and a program powered by emotions from the internet, not actual normal human science.

[callbacks]

right of course
anyway
the demons were ok with getting turned into horrific recombinant monsters?
i feel like youd get some complaints from the union about that
i mean the workers comp suits alone

[crouching_sin]

That's how they get stronger, usually. The ones that ended up as accidents and were unhappy about it generally got destroyed.

It helps when you have some demons on your side as well, and also a demon that pops up to mess with you on a regular basis. Sometimes he could be convinced to take out the trash.

[callbacks]

isnt
that kind of shitty for the demons?
getting junked like that

[crouching_sin]

Probably. Generally it's the sort of thing where it just disbands their corporeal bodies and they re-form in the Demon World, with a few exceptions.

[callbacks]

ohhh oh ok they just go back
ok thats not as bad as i was thinking
i mean except for the unlucky suckers it doesnt work for i guess
so the ones that get stronger are generally ok with it?

[crouching_sin]

Given that demons tend to establish who's in charge by a complex means known as "who can beat the other one up", usually yes.

[callbacks]

sounds kind of like trolls
or well like the rationale for the troll social hierarchy as i understand it which to be honest i all hells of dont

[crouching_sin]

... I know varying types of trolls but I'm going to take a wild guess and say that I don't know anything about the types of trolls you mean.

[callbacks]

are the trolls you know aliens with candy corn colored horns

[crouching_sin]

They are not, no.

[callbacks]

yeah different trolls then
are the trolls you know the naked kind from the eighties with funny faces and crazy rainbow hair

[crouching_sin]

No, they're usually what you might call 'giants'. Either the sort that you might imagine living under a bridge or giant people or mythological beings from the Scandinavian area.

[callbacks]

oh those kind
yeah no i dont know anything about that kind of trolls sociopolitical structures so ill have to defer to your expertise on that
when you say you know them though
do you mean know them personally or know of them

[crouching_sin]

Both. I had to know how to summon them to program the summoning circles in, though a few demons can just be done by general 'family'.

But then there's Loki, who I've known for at least a thousand years, and he's a jotunn. Which aren't 'technically' trolls depending on who you ask, and if you ask Loki anything he gives you five different answers.

[callbacks]

oh those are
shit
giants right
man i really dont remember this stuff

[crouching_sin]

Yes, they are. Closely related to trolls, but again, only maybe. There's some things even I don't know.

[callbacks]

what???
perish the very thought bro im frankly reasonably confident you know everything there fucking is to know
