I’ll go ahead and say this much. HERO is indeed multistage.

When I read this this morning, it set off an interesting thought process, that I suppose is technically esoteric, but maybe not really so much.

I started reflecting on our funny human nature. If there is someting about which we are 99.999% ignorant and unknowing, we will still find a way to spend most of our time arguing about the .001% that we have even a slight clue about. And for us, in the midst of our strident debating, that .001% will, in our practical view, usually thoroughly eclipse the other 99.999% for the simply expedient fact that we can’t talk about that part.

So, we’ll have something called The Great Unknown, and our conversations around it will be like this:

Person A: Well, it was 12:37 pm on Thursday, when Johann Velsig first encountered the Great Unknown!

Person B: No! No! No! It was 1:18 am on Friday! That’s when Velsig encountered the Great Unknown. This is obvious! You haven’t done your research!

And I sat reflecting on this endearing, annoying tendency of ours to argue over the slightest grain of sand of Slippery Reality. Whatever we’re able to grasp even a slight hold of.

And then it reminded me of the Three Sisters, the Graeae; who between them managed to muster up the grand sum of 1 working eye and 1 usable tooth.

And Perseus was able to outwit and bypass these awesomely powerful Graeae by doing what?

By nudging them to argue over the tiny bit of usable value that they possessed. Which they did quite readily. haha. The one thing we’ll usually agree to do is argue.

:rofl:

And then I thought about how these ‘Three Sisters’ kind of reminded me of Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis. (and Dialectics). And I thought, ‘wow, those Greeks were not too shabby, were they?’ Their mythology contains so many roots of Philosophy, Archetype, and Ontological reason.

Those three sisters, the Graeae, guarding and protecting three other sisters, the Gorgons, including the beautiful (in my mind’s eye) Medusa, who stood guard over the secrets of the boundaries and connections between Life (pliant, moving flesh) and Death (rigorous, stonelike paralyzed flesh). The snakes age-old symbols of rebirth and transformation (due to their practice of emerging renewed from their shed skin) obeyed Medusa and grew out of her.

Yet, the treacherous, rocky shoals of argument and pride, tripped up even these profound Great Beings.

Today, we only speak of Medusa as a cautionary tale. ‘Haha. Look how the brave youth tricked her.’

I say that she was worthy of great respect and was the keeper of secret depths of Nature.

But, hey; a hero’s got to do what a hero’s got to do.

Sometimes.

But there are some contests where to win means that you have Lost. (‘You have won the power and the right to destroy your own home!’)

There are some contests in which losing means that you have Won. (‘You have struggled to overcome the Laws of Nature, but…sorry, you have lost.’ response: ‘really? Let’s celebrate!’)

Sometimes the victory is in the struggle more than in the outcome. (‘I fought with an Angel and just before she threw me out of the Heavens, she looked me in the eye and gave me a nod of respect. And that one nod has warmed and brightened my heart through my darkest of days.’)

Anyway, these are the thoughts I had after reading Saint this morning.

(we now return you to your regularly scheduled collective anticipation.)

Anticipation and expectations limit the unknown and what is born from it — so, no thank you, kind sir.

Also do you plan to add a surprise module pack drop?
I’m planning two customs at the moment.
I dont want to order them only to see a couple of perfect modules being released :see_no_evil:

TBH im more interested in when Wanted and Stark are dropping,

I hope we can get an update on their development,

Not to say i dont think Hero or Aeon will be good titles im just more interested in looks,money,intelligence,productivity
