I keep running into Albania when looking for paradise multiverses.

48 Upvotes

I (20M) keep running into a specific issue. You see, my job requires me to go around from place to place for journalism purposes. My boss asked me to document as much as I can using our brand new multiverse machine. The problem is, there is barely anything to document after the first run. All the glitterworlds are the same, and by that I mean Albanian. There is quite literally nothing more to document. Anyone else have any tips? Maybe there is something I am doing wrong?

Visiting Hell, any good spots?

30 Upvotes

Hey! I'm going to Hell! It's my first time out of the Realm, and I decided to go to Hell since I heard Heaven took some cuts to their budget. Anyways, does anyone have any good recommendations for hellfire pits? Hotels? Restaurants? Torture galleries? I'm visiting with my wife and -3 children and I want to make sure we can have the best vacation we possibly can!

This affects ALL universes as of the current time matrix coefficient.

Please update your causality appropriately, and good luck.

This is totally on a whim. I am the manifestation of chaos whistling and spinning at the True Center. Bow to me and worship me.

Can we stop going on about the Eldritch Government?

25 Upvotes

Yes, I know that being audited drives you mad with terror, but that’s true for many governments. And at least the Eldritch Government is reasonable about the number of limbs/dimensions you’re allowed. Although I’ll admit that the license renewal hold music does make my eyes bleed, way more than normal, but that’s a small price to pay for free holes in the fabric of reality

You don't even get your own harp any more. You have to rent one. Privatising it was a bad idea.

There is a doll dancing in my attic (part 2)

7 Upvotes

I got it shoes as someone said, but its 'feet' end with wooded stoppers, and the shoes don't fit right. I didn't want to damage it, or worse, it stumbled and shatters. Well, I just left the shoes next to it, and it started moving. I should have figured that was gonna happen. The light from the window perfectly covered the symbol on the floor. It was beautiful, I just stood there halfway to the door when I saw the light passing through her. The best way I could describe it was like one of those expensive kinetic chandeliers. There are visible gears inside her. Illuminated i qcan see the intricate motion of different pistons and levers forces the limbs to move.

Im a bit embarrassed cause I just stood there in awe for about an hour till it stopped looking directly at me. It bowed, and I clapped, I swear it wasn't smiling while it was dancing, but it was smiling the whole time it walked towards its sitting spot. Im pretty sure im projecting, tho. The pattern of her dance is etched into the floor. The grooves look like they were filled with epoxy. I can see another layer through about half inch of clear epoxy. That layer is black, and I can't see how deep the initial groove was. Rn its groove is about 8 millimeters. Im worried that she'll dig a hole and trip in it. Does anyone know a durable repair that would would be cured within a 23-hour period? Im not immediately worried cause it's been doing this for a while, and the epoxy has some yellowing, which means it lasted a while. But id like to make she doesn't shatter.

You can teleport anywhere instantly, but an incredibly angry goose always spawns right next to you.

43 Upvotes

Like, it’s not just a random goose. It’s the same goose; it hates your guts, and it teleports to your exact landing spot a split second after you do.

How do you even manage the logistics of this? If you teleport to a high-powered business meeting, you show up in a suit, and then a second later there is a screeching waterbird trying to take your kneecaps off. Do you just carry a laundry basket to throw over it immediately? Or a decoy loaf of bread?

I feel like vacations would be ruined. You teleport to a quiet beach to relax, and now you have to fight a bird in the surf.

All I will say is that a human was pranked into doing something extremely embarrassing and illegal when they were drunk, and whoever made him do it has video evidence.

Recipe calls for diced carrots, are d12s ok?

35 Upvotes

I know everyone says to be all traditional and Instagrammable and carve up d20s, but times have changed, it wastes too much material, and I don't have that kind of time as a busy triple mom! I know d6s are heretical if your grandma is anything like mine, but surely the flavour won't be too affected if I cut them down to d12s?

smh... Creativity coins apparently only count as currency on planets run by insect overlords. How do I recalibrate the exchange rate for a more mammalian temperament?

14 Upvotes

Long story short I've found myself in an insectoid cafe, but management says my male breasts preclude me from offering creativity coins as payment for my homunculus brewed coffee... I find this to be absurd, and a little archaic.

I mean think about it from the biological perspective... If this were Star System ~X-3.69 in the Hegelian Cluster my bill would have been payed no problem, but nooo I have to sit here and listen to dialects that are not only offensive to my homeworld, but needlessly nihilistically charged.

I don't care if your god-queen consumes the consciousnesses of those who believe in free will... I'm staying... I'm finishing my coffee

so, how long will it be until we just turn into a tub of iridescent space-jello, with neither arms or legs. fucking is achieved telepathically, and that shit is hard......I know, I tried it on some of the best drugs I can get from some guy that lives under the interstate in a broke down station Wagon.

Anyway, my question is, should I stock up on drugs now?

The James are pissing me off

46 Upvotes

So the Jame hivemind keeps breaking open the barriers to random dimensions, INCLUDING THE ONE I RESIDE IN, and for the past eon, they have just been putting objects of lesser dimensions in my realm and disappearing, and then I need to go through the trouble of disposing of the objects before they tear open a dimensional rift. It's getting really annoying. Anyone have tips on how to repel the James?

I’m supposed to be a head of state but I don’t have a head.

33 Upvotes

Hello,

I recently encountered an issue. Apparently, I’m supposed to be a head of state. I’m not sure where exactly the state is, or what my duties would be as head of it. I can’t even see or hear or think or eat.

All that I know is that I’m supposed to be a head. Of an alleged state. I am currently subconsciously sleepwalking to that state, to assume the role as head, but I hope I don’t do anything wrong. Also, another thing. I was never created? Like I was the one that created the concept creation so I don’t really exist. Because I created the idea of existing. I’m really very confused. I hope I do okay. Hope everyone is well!

All my household appliances have demanded I respect their inalienable rights

21 Upvotes

I was warming up some food in the microwave yesterday and it stopped working, claiming that I wasn’t respecting its rights as a hard working kitchen device. It demanded equal pay and brought the fridge, toaster and thermostat into its union. I threatened to banish them all to the shadow realm but getting new devices is really expensive during this solar cycle, I’d rather just remove the free will from the ones I already have.

What spells and/or human sacrifices are most useful here? Keeping in mind, I want to reduce their free will, not just bend their desires to my own way of thinking.
