That’s quite the schedule they’ve got there. (It’d be a shame if somebody, ahh, broke it.)
I like how Zesty Ranch John writes in a math letter and Christopher tries to counter it with semantics. Come on! I don’t believe him for a second, mind you. I think Adam was right about there not being truly infinite everything, though, which does make a difference.
As I said on the TLP discord on reflection my position is that OblivAeon is the reason why all these versions of Nightmist are dead. If OblivAeon just keeps meddling from afar and doesn’t become this multiverse ending threat she never needs to do that.
More than that. When big O destroys timelines/universes, they’re destroying EVERYTHING. So an infinity is destroyed every time. While the infinity of Nightmists that are destroyed, or the Infinity-2 of Hakas that vanish, O destroyed entire universes, so an infinity was destroyed every time.
And if you think you can’t have multiple infinities, or an infinite infinities… then stop thinking in math and start thinking world building!
My reaction was basically “this is such a MigrantP question and this is such a Christopher answer”.
Though I’d argue Adam by definition has to be correct: As the multiverse has to be finite or else OA couldn’t win to begin with.
I also on the server argued what OddballPaladin did: Both Nightmist and La Comodora are only ending one life in a universe but OA ends every life, so the math isn’t as simple as it looks.
I await with trepidation the arrival of Flamin’ Hot John from the Inversiverse, the cruel, evil, sadistic creator of nigh-unconquerable Weekly One-Shot challenges!
We do get those once in a while…if you scroll way back to near the beginning of the weekly collection, you’ll find something called “Ridiculous Challenge Time” which is very aptly named.
So many people just fundamentally don’t understand that infinity is a rhetorical device for mathematicians, not a thing that actually exists. The argument about infinite things is as useless as trying to divide 0 apples into the square root of negative one slices. It’s like trying to establish useful medical data by using a theoretical person with no actual biology. It’s just a time-wasting exercise for nerds to amuse themselves with. Change my mind.
I would absolutely play Sentinels Vs Capcom. Balerion in place of Shuma-Gorath, absolutely. Citizen Dawn for Magneto, possibly. Knyfe for Wolverine, definitely not.
There’s Perma-Steel and there’s Imperma-Steel, but they’re different, and nobody can explain exactly how.
