There was a group of angels at the bar tonight. Super intense vibe, but they kept to themselves and didn't disturb the other patrons, except for one point when they all suddenly burst into cheers and ordered a round for the bar. I asked what they were celebrating. They told me that for a split second all of the air molecules bounced petfectly into one corner of the room. It's like their version of the dvd screensaver.

You’re never gonna get an angel bound in human form that isn’t some sort of fucked up. You’re cutting it off from all sorts of metaphysical senses, extradimensional perceptions, and biologically impossible physiology all at once. That’s like if you pancaked a human down to 2D and took away all our senses besides touch and smell. You’d be pretty weird too.

finally turned the Ominous Grid of Letters into a game.

Conway's game of life simulation is happening, but additionally, there is an invisible 3 cell by 3 cell square Angel that is slowly moving across the board in a steady direction.

every step of the simulation, the Angel toggles the alive/dead state of the cells she covers, acting as an external influence on the regular Conway's life simulation.

find this Angel by noticing the abnormalities in the simulation, and click on her. it will let you know when you find her.

got her!

i havent been able to stop thinking abt this since i played it a few days ago. Angels are a Feature of a simulation. Angels are hard to see where the simulation is noisy, but easy to see where the simulation is quiet. Angels reverse the entropy of a simulation that would otherwise fall into a dead or stable configuration. Angels are invisible, except for the evidence of their presence.

do you think angels would perch upon electrical lines and radio towers like birds

[kociokwiki]

They made a city out of angels recently. Skyscrapers of wings strung together with sinew, apartments of very strong yet hollow bones, there's even a giant heart in the sewer to keep everything flowing, etc. You can rent a penthouse in Michael's cranium
