KIRBY IS A GOD UNIRONICALY AND HAS KILLED MULTIPLE GODS BOTH INTENTIONALLY AND UNITENTIONALLY, OFTEN OVER FOOD.
CAN YOU BLAME ME THOUGH?
YOU KILLED THE GOD OF KNOWLEDGE OVER A CAKE AND THEN LET A FUCKING GREMLIN GET THE POWER AND SHROWED THE WORLD IN DARKNESS. YES I BLAME YOU.
OK, BUT WHY ARE WE YELLING?
EMPHASIS
I ❤️Kirby
Imagine all the people who would do the Matrix thing and learn martial arts… Only to gain the wisdom that knowing how to do martial arts doesn’t make it any easier when you’re fat and out of shape.
The Matrix thing is only really useful when you go inside the Matrix, where your limits are your mental strength. Outside the Matrix you’re still a weedy little person. Look at when Neo and Bane/Smith fought: it was messy, ugly, and the opposite of choreographed martial arts.
Ironically, the matrix is also the one place where you can negate the need for kung fu because you can just alter reality with your thoughts by simply believing hard enough.
Theoretically, but even Neo, the most powerful RedPill, could only bend the rules. His control over flight, bullets, things warping under stress around him, etc, is as close as he got to altering the virtual reality.
Just like the Agents, you can bend the rules, but you are still bound by them.
People do martial arts to get into shape though.
And those with motivation and willpower do it the old fashioned way. Plenty of people would jump at the chance to take a shortcut like downloading the knowledge into their brain, only to realize knowledge alone doesn’t make one a kung fu master.
I mean a core part of most martial arts is just learning how to control the body.
Knowing how to move would still be a decent advantage for someone like that
If you did this with the doctor who wiki you’d probably be clinically insane.
That’s basically what happened to Donna
Am I the only one that spent the day reading kirby lore and found it plain? It’s probably me.
It is plain tbh. What makes it feel interesting is that it never explains 99% of the lore. You have to pick up on it through tiny little details in the game. Sometimes it’s more blatant, sometimes it’s super subtle.
Just reading up on it doesn’t give the same experience as “did the incarnation of the limitless void just turn into Kirby for a second there?”
To be fair, knowing the exact rituals and steps to make the demonculaba would leave anyone in a similar state of mind.
i mean…
…goddamn
I was like… children play this game, how bad can it be.
I don’t get the Kirby lore reference at all. Is it actually that deep?
Yes
What’s so bad about Kirby?
Kirby is an unstoppable force with the brain of a child. He has killed multiple elder gods, often over nothing more than food. if you want examples, look up bosses like Zero-Two, Marx/Marx Soul, or Void Termina.
The most interesting part about Void Termina is that its core appears to be another one of whatever the hell Kirby is. So we possibly got a glimpse of what Kirby could be if he weren’t so childlike and innocent… and not so easily placated with cake.
That’s how it starts.
Beats the hell out of the version that requires clicking through 6 separate pictures.
Looks like Steve was introduced to the globes war crimes
Learned what DAOT humanity had to do to survive the fall.
Also what pre-fall Aeldari considered coffee with friends.
Brb about to ruin my day and view of humanity just to build it up again
Just to give things some scale, the longest book series in WH 40k is the hours heresy. It’s 60+ books. And that takes place in the 30th millennium, so it’s just background to current times lore.
There are more than 300 novels to read, and that’s just counting novels. There are also codexes (codecies?), other supplementary books, other game books (like dark heresy), and the many issues of the white dwarf magazine.
How absurd must Kirby lore be then?
To give you a hint, Kirby is actually an eldrich god.
Who eats other Old Ones
