Man, I should've gotten to the rest of PHO Sundays sooner. Wildbow is so goddamn good at fleshing out his worlds, and he somehow always manages to multitask. The regular video game exchange between Aleph and Bet through the Haywire Portal alludes to tinker-made games, along with swipe and punch cards of heroes that have wormed their way into Bet's gaming culture. The Whitelist being an option for unaffiliated single heroes, but with elaboration on all the problems and safeties involved. Cape Fantasy Football following up on what happened to Sphere's project after he got Simurghed while also just being kind of hysterical (immortal cape gets stuck on the moon). The Vispera incident. The reveal that Earth Bet Taylor Swift (Terri Light) was a tinker clone while the real one turned into a NEET, while on the other side of the music scene, fans of Canary hired villains to steal her unreleased songs from the PRT, which since her power still works through recordings means there's now literal music drugs being distributed through the web. All of this taking place during the timeskip, meaning through all these random stories and headlines we're also witnessing the gradual decline of everything as the new endbringers show up and the PRT starts visibly falling apart. Good stuff.
