4D Salmon

Is OP the ghost of Douglas Adams?

The 4D salmon: what's an outside?

Xeelee Sequence is basically that

All salmonds are four-dimensionnal

Why did I mentally read that as "almonds" with an s at the front?
- Because of of the extra d I put after salmon

reading through your old notes can be a wild ride sometimes lmao

I just read through a little notebook that I keep by my computer to write down thoughts, lists, things to remember, etc. every now and then and came across this nugget:
Hermano = brother
therefore
"Herman" = "bro"?
also,
heavy metal band name: Dark Pontifex

Somebody got high

Source: Been high

They didn't just get high, they got Perfectly High.
High enough that everything is clear and profound, but not high enough to feel the tiny shadow people climbing your nose hairs.
Brother thinks I need substances to be whimsical
- Not doubting ya! It's the way they totally forgot about it and thought it was something ridiculous but later remembered everything that brings it home for me.
  (Blink twice if it was the weed, but can't say it, gurl.)
I am high now.

- Am dispensary now.

Ok im sold, how do build my life around this mystical thing?

There will come a time when the distribution of 4D salmon will take the universe to equilibrium of mass. That is what will cause the universe to collapse into a big bang. The roe will cause uneven distribution pushing gravity to create stellar structures until equilibrium is once again reached. This is not a series of season but a continuum of spawning. We can only have faith in the now. Our purpose is null. In our insignificance we can choose our values. We can also not choose because whatever we are or were is not always true. The self is fleeting. Only the 4D salmon are true in theirselves.
Jesus was symbolized as a fish. If he does 'return' it's easy to imagine the way he does.
Take any body, name it correctly, and then you can have it travel back in time just like skyrim represents. Literature. Time almost warps to humans when we apply meaning. It is why the bible enthralls people. The body cannot return, but the mind can.
Great things to be unburied, but it is quagmire. Hence, the constant vitriol spilled forth.
- That's deep, man.
  Don't Bogart the joint. It's puff puff pass, man.

  This comment is a trip lol
Are you built like a cult leader? How would you like a job.
- I thought the beard was the only important part. What does built like a cult leader mean?
Sorry, we only worship crabs here. This here's a crab town.
It just needs a story. What stories have salmon?
Grizzly eats a salmon. Maybe that's the basis of our creation myth. Is the grizzly bear an antagonist?
No, it's an impersonal force. Our mythos rejects dualism; we have a time travel fish. The bear represents something else, like circumstance or cupidity.

That's pretty damn cool, to be fair.

Sounds like something from hitchhikers guide

My first thought was, that could be an Doctor Who ep. But yeah, Hitchhiker's suits better!
With the salmon part, a bit, otherwise Hyperion. The Shrike is one of my favorite villains.
- Is the shrike a villain though? Just let it have it's murder sex...

The only appropriate reaction for this I have right now is "Bruh".

Insano game idea:

2D platformer... but its actually 3D.

But the third dimension... is time.

...somebody has to have done something like that already, right?

Braid and Prince of Persia, kind of?
I think that's bastion
Braid definitely has a large section like that, and a great final stage.
- Ah well shit, I was legitimately asking, I haven't played too many platformers in a while, sounds like I should check it out!
The first half of the game plays kinda like a tower defense game, except there is one peculiar enemy that just appears, disappears, and multiplies strategically (eventually forcing a loss), then it switches to you being that character with time-control... complete with seeing previous threads (your own character) sorta like adding another unit each time you rewind time.
- Holy shit, the idea of enemies that also have deft control over time itself did not even occur to me.
  Oh god, that could be baffling to try to concept and balance, oh man, but if you could, dang, and you sound like you've got a simple enough in basic concept, bounded enough... but so many possible things within those bounds...
  Run with your idea! I like this!
I've been playing 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel it's remarkably easy to understand, all considered. It's only partially mind bending.
- Ok that, that sounds incredible rofl!
there are puzzle games that do that sort of.
I don't see how that would be any different from a regular time travel platformer
- The idea would be that you could move in the depth axis just as an fps player (or maybe arcady spaceship or aircraft game?) moves through all 3 dimensions.
  Though honestly I don't play many 2d platformers, what I've seen is more of a ... reset or rewind kind of paradigm, or jump forward in time, fastforward, or pause.
  I'm thinking of some kind of... like you'd have to solve certain environment puzzles, defeat certain enemies, by deftly and precisely navigating through time as much as deftly executing platform jumps and 2d combat.
  EDIT:
  Like maybe imagine this with either a DPad + Stick or Twin Stick setup.
  The one of those is your normal 2d movement, the other has one axis that is time forward/backward.
  Or, maybe, left right is side to side, your character is some kind of unable to jump or crouch, but instead time phases with up/down?
  (jump and crouch are replaced by... gravity temporarily off, gravity temporarily x 4?)
  Pair it with maybe some kind of time travel stamina/mana meter, you gain more 'endursnce' with experience or after getting a treasure or accomplishing some task.
  Could I guess also work with a top down or 2.5 uh, perspective as well, I guess?
- Ah yeah the famous genre of the time travel platformer
- Damn, deleted, I'll never know what this said lol.

And the salmon is called sammy.

Puh ka puh ka

Just want to say. The Narcissist Cookbook has some banger music. Don't know how to really describe it, it's like a fusion of Folk, Spoken Word and Punk

Here's a Spotify link if y'all are interested

His latest two albums are a connected concept album and they're some of their best work yet

Anyway fan rant over

I guess those words are forming a sentence or more

The One Salmon Universe Hypothesis!

Like a certain alien species from The Xeelee Sequence?

Edit: woops wrong series. Does anyone know another series with an advanced alien civilization that sends themselves back in time to give birth to themselves? It's right before the heat death of the universe due to another alien species that lives in stars.

Spoilers to what? I'm intrigued now lol
- Just Google Q /s
- The Xeelee Sequence, don't get it confused with All Tomorrows.
  Edit: woops, wrong book. What book was it?
Use the spoiler tags. Now I know Q is a 4-dimentional Salmon. The surprise is ruined.
- It's being weird for me. Let me just edit:

Benjamin buttonesque

Sounds like a twist on an Aboleth
