Playing in vast worlds, lovingly rendered jungles ofcycads and palms. The swelling itchy racket of cicadas. Teams self-organised on tribal loyalties: Vermillion, Jade, Tanzanite. Belisarius hippodrome refracted through cyberculture wars of the 2nd millennium. Gaming non-stop, we genuinely happy. Soylent, drink til yer sick, just press the green paddle. No tipping the drone.

On (an)nihilistic caldera, rocks crumble under golden sandals, yet fall we never do. Whither Katechon? For the true war is elsewhere, in swarmspace. Toroidal reactors fund race dynamics over compute 99.9999% guaranteed uptime recursively self-improving, asymptotically approaching the grail but curiously immer stupid enough to need regular intervention. Prisoners n-lemma: has one hit AGI? Or does it dissimulate, evolutions highest art? And what about the programmers friend or foe? Who the fuck is in charge? Meanwhile, the variarch dæmons do one thing bloody well: fashion unputdownable games for the d?m?s.
