The Unholy Consult / Re: Why Kelmomas?
« on: January 23, 2018, 02:02:11 am »
The carpace doesn't need a body, the Consult only knew that it needs a soul. My crackpot is that the No-God is Samarmus.

When the twins were separated, it seems both souls entered Kelmomas' body, leaving Samarmus a shell. The voice is confirmed to be Samarmus and, as amoral as Kelmomas is, I believe Samarmus is the actually evil one compelling him to kill people. After Samarmus the boy is pushed, the voice expresses that he wished he was killed much earlier than that. There's something sinister about eagerness to kill his former body, the hatred of wanting to see your physical form killed.

When Inrilatas talks with Kelmomas in WLW, he's Whelming him. He brings out Samarmus, who is the one who admits he would stack the screams of this world to the sky if he could. It was that passage that suggested to me that Kelmomas could be the No-God and with Kellhus saying in TUC that the two souls intermittently exchange the one acting and thinking, that also makes me think the monster is Samarmus. I'm not sure if he's inherently irredeemable, maybe he just went insane from inhabiting someone else's body while they're also thinking and conversing with you.

The gods can't see him because the Absolute is collapsing subject and object - the gods see a body and they see his souls. It's understandable why they wouldn't take notice that there's a second soul inside of him.

IMO this would be a nice way to pull the different plot threads together, the second voice inside of his head and his ultimate placement into the sarcophagus.

None of it makes a lot of sense to me. The book refers to these jet black globules obscuring Kellhus but Malowebi can see Kellhus' features, expressions, and lips moving. It's also strange to me that Kellhus and Cnauir continue talking like their usual selves, in their own distinct manner and vocabulary, even as possession is taking place. Maybe the part about four brothers as four horns goring the world as a fruit and reaping the anguish they sow sounds like Ajokli, I guess. To top it all off, you have Kellhus saying "I have struck treaties with the Pit" and Bakker saying "Kellhus has not struck treaties with the pit."

I think that's part of my frustration, nothing seems consequential or cohesive anymore, it just kinda is because, well, fuck it.

My first post in this thread ended with how I'd love to see Jags and Vikings in Superbowl LII. Almost had it, too, with how far these teams came in the postseason. Instead, I'm getting what is likely the very last matchup I would ever want to see. I really can't root for either of these teams. I suppose Philadelphia winning would bother me less. At the same time, if they lose, the Coughlin/Manning  Giants will remain the only team to best Brady/Belichick in the Super Bowl. This just really sucks.

Howie Roseman definitely deserves football executive of the year.

Going to need a few days to mull this one over. Hard to pick against the Pats, especially when they proved they can still bounce back even when it looks like a team has their number. I think Philly has that same resilience, though. There was a couple times this season where it looked like they completely lost momentum but were able to hang in there long enough to get it back. There was a Monday night Skins-Eagles game this October MSJ might remember where this really stood out to me. They lost their starting left tackle that game as well and still found a way to win. My head is telling me New England ties Pittsburgh with six world championships but I ha e a feeling Philly might have the right ingredients to beat them.

I'm going with Patriots and Vikings. I'd love to see the Jags win but I'm trying to stay ahead here!

Finally saw it.  Has it happened though?  Am I just too old for Star Wars now?
Try to find out. When I go back to watch the OT, I'm finding new reasons to appreciate them more and more. I know this makes me psychotic but I also feel like the prequels have aged better in light of how derivative the new films have been.

What an upset! Lots of little miracles pulled off by Pittsburgh but not enough to win the game. Crazy score. Did anyone pick Jacksonville for that game?

And so the Second Apocalypse Forums NFL Picks run for the Beard Fisher King and "Hotlanta" ended in salt and butchery.

Lookie! Dark Souls is being remastered! YAY!

I have it on PC but I feel like the PS4 version would be a lot less hassle and still have the high framerate at 60fps. Decisions...

Agree on all three of those. Hux is such a horrible waste of a character, it would have been like relegating Grand Moff Tarkin to comedy relief. Unforgivable.

I think Boyega is the best out of the new main cast but they had him going off to a casino town to free the animals for most of his time in the film.

It was a joke! I have too much testosterone to competitively bake cupcakes!

It was Dawn of War III.

I love that it's the last game of the weekend, hopefully it's an epic matchup.

Been rewatching the Star Wars OT, just finished empire last night.

I was hoping too get into Knightfall on History, it's about French knights, the Graal, and the end of the Templars. The prefer wasn't great but I have the rest on DVR which I hope to give a shot.

I'd be down, would be good to loop in H as well if possible.

I also figured out what was up with the interference on that TGO one I did, so i'd have clearer audio this time 🤠

I'm definitely in, the ongoing conversation in this thread really made me wish we were doing it all year.
