I mean little cheap can. Ofk the big well pressurised can is what you use to move good beed.

A good pint of freshly spilled beer is better of anything you can find in bottle or (God forbid) cans. When you need something fast and strong two shots of tequilas. For the winter nights a good Baileys with some chocolate.

Well, it is fact that they can. Our brain prove that all the time. The question should be can neurons “in vitro” playing Doom as well?

Here, enjoy: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zXfzzxH1q8o

William Hope Hodgson was a prolific British author. H.P. Lovecraft lists Hodgson works to be among his greatest influences. His works are also known to have inspired Clark Ashton Smith and Henry S. Whitehead. Among all his most influential works you can find:

The House on the Borderland (1908)

While en route to a week of fishing in the quaint Irish village of Kraighten, Messrs Tonnison and Berreggnog stumble upon a hidden gem - a remote house perched precariously close to a yawning abyss. This secluded dwelling, once owned by a reclusive soul, holds a dark secret. Uncovering a weathered diary, the gentlemen delve into the chilling experiences of the previous occupant. The diary chronicles a descent into madness fueled by terrifying supernatural encounters and haunting visions of otherworldly dimensions, hinting at an evil far more insidious than anything Messrs Tonnison and Berreggnog could have ever imagined.

Another author worth mentioning is Algernon Blackwood and his short story The Willows was praised by H.P. Lovecraft as the finest supernatural tale in English literature

Two friends are midway on a canoe trip down the Danube River. Throughout the story Blackwood personifies the surrounding environment—river, sun, wind—and imbues them with a powerful and ultimately threatening character. Most ominous are the masses of dense, desultory, menacing willows, which “moved of their own will as though alive, and they touched, by some incalculable method, my own keen sense of the horrible.”

Well the old servitor race is still asleep in R’lyeh and will eventually wake up. So we’ll more like be the “third wheel” race. Hard to accept i know, big Lulu is a “player”.

So our psychic energy can be toxic for them? Another nice idea. So what human perceive as hostile incomprehensible behavior of cosmic entities may just be some poor inter-dimensional fella with the psychic equivalent of a food poisoning or even an allergy reaction. (he’s choking on our mind🤣)

Neat 😁👍

Nice argument. But bacteria can infect organisms, even kill them. Can an Old One be “humanized”?

This reminds me of a character from the book series Laundry Files by Charles Stross. Basically they have this alien entity called “the souls eater” (guess what it can do) which a secret british govern agency evoke in the 60s and bind to a human body with some kind of binding ritual, after that they pass almost 10 years brainwashing him in human value, honor ecc. up to the point where he became one of the best secret agent of that organization, with a key role to save the world from eldrich horrors.

The whole human-like-ant argument go back a while. Here’s some source

They knew all along

The first volumes are rock solid fun, syfy/spy/eldritch horror and lots of ghastly-fun moments. After vol 5 it have some up an down, but overall still good.

I would read them in this order

Great art. The other works are amazing too. Nyarlathotep is alway been in my opinion the most shady and dangerous character of the mythos.

Literary-who expain it very well in one of his video.

(…) while Nyarlathotep might not be the absolute most powerful entity in his verse he is definitely the most dangerous. Other monsters in this universe might show up in front of you putting up a show being big and loud (…) he will show up looking like some kind of important figure so that you will listen to him and he is going to be very polite and very well spoken and he’s going to put all the stars at your feet and tell you how awesome you are in that thing you think you really want is here to give it to you and all you need to do in exchange is just do him a little favor, it’s gonna be something really easy and he’ll even help so that it’s even easier, how cool is that. And once you accept he’s gonna send you to the void and feed you to Azathoth because you were dumb enough to trust him.

Maybe is just a theme 🤷‍♂️

tricky but doable
