there have been a lot of suns

Annotations?! You know of the myths?

Yes, for it requires intense physical training for a proper casting of "Fist"

Even those only whisper in hushed cants about the before times, when every inscription was carefully annotated in scrolls that could become as long as entire towers

I learned the skills of an elder mage all on my own. Now I'm starting a career in magehood and they're constantly trying to keep me from blowing up the sun when all I'm doing is checking if the sun is in fact still there. You'd be surprised how often the sun simply isn't there anymore.

I do love that outfit 👌 Much drip. Quite better than the "I'll wear what I want, fuck you very much" outfit I get to wear at work.

Ah, thank you!
Maybe it's time to refresh some HOMM3 memories. My GOG library should be able to help.

In a time before modern mages, before pre-written incantations, before even Auto-Incantated Vibration Casting (A-I VibeCast), there was a... different time.

It was the Sages of the ancient Fortran civilization, followed by the Assembly of Oracles, who truly understood the old magics.

The old tongues are understood so little these contemporary times.

Buffy the vampire Slayer or MegaTen?

Until Chinese chip makers mysteriously release a GPU so comparable to modern Nvidia flagships that it completely decimates them on the open market.

Is casting "Fist" more complicated than casting "Explode The Sun"?

FREEZE!

Also from HOMM3, it's the tower hero sprite during combat

Apprentice mages usually begin by aiming at their own feet and yelling the incantation, some immediately turn to aim at the sun "just because"

Easy, it was another, greater mage. It's mages all the way down

How did they bootstrap this thing? If the easiest spell is "Explode The Sun", then becoming a Great Mage able to cast "Prevent Sun From Exploding" is very unlikely!

The best one yet 😂

On the one hand, loose lips sink ships, but on the other hand QueefBurglar69 is confidently wrong about the effective range of the current line of tanks.

Every page is a masterpiece and I feel so bad for only reading a chapter or two every month. There are so many characters in it that I just lost track of who was who and did what, but I'm also way too deep to start over. But the humour is just classy.

Everyone "knew" the dot com bubble was going to burst about two years before it did. It's amazing how long a shitty system can stay in place when a lot of people have a lot of money betting on it staying.

Spying itself is a nothingburger in US under Trump. US is essentially a free real estate when it comes to sensitive information, even your government is likely filled with Russian agents who report to China. If it's not spies, then gamers posting classified information to win an argument in war thunder.

Wait a minute... Those antennae poking out from one of its sides was a bug? I thought it was a feature :(

Good old HOMM3.
But where's the last one from?

Why are you concerned about the Sun exploding? Is there any business impact, or is this just about your personal aesthetics?

Sadly, it was also affected by a similar bug.
