[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

((IRL?
If IRL, roughly 6ft 250~260lbs))

[Prophet]

((I don't have a way of keeping track of my wight at my house so I can't give a accurate answer. Last time I checked I was somewhere between 5'8 and 5'9. What about you Hugo?))

[WillowLuman]

((Yeah, IRL, unless you've died and respawned. Which so far just includes Zanz and BlitzDungeoneer))
((I'm 6'4" and somewhere around 185lbs. That's around 1.9 meters and ~83kg for metric users. Or ~13 stone for those who use weird old-fashioned English measurements.))
((Without at least a ballpark on this info, I think we may have been getting somewhat inaccurate pictures of each other. I'd thought Kevak was taller, and Cryxis was smaller.))

[Arcvasti]

[[IRLish is  ~5'6" and maybe 130 lbs?. I is youngun. This information may be changed after actual checking of physical attributes.]]

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

((Ya I used what I idealize myself as, if I actually worked out and such......... Ya I'm fat))

[~Neri]

((My signup has my weight and height in it~))

(Ninjas!)
It's only a couple miles. Well, I guess there are a lot of obstacles in the way. But we're probably going elsewhere in the near future. We're explorers.

"Your other bodily functions seem to be continuing as normal. It only follows that you would continue to age. To be honest, though, there's no data on players staying in one life for that long, though. If it's any consolation, death from aging wouldn't be treated any differently from other deaths."

"GladOs, you're talking to someone who's mind vomits planets on a biweekly basis. Metaphysics isn't exactly qualified as difficult to me. Just odd and amusing. And I had already guessed all that. Also, I have centuries, by tier 6 of regen, I'll be biologically unageing if this continues to follow how shifters work in my personal lore like it has been doing."

"The first might just be described as imagination. Perhaps you'll have time to attain a tentative scientific understanding of meta-laws. But the unfortunate fact is you'll never truly understand without a mind constructed for it. A person might enjoy a game. A more educated person might appreciate the program behind it. But they will never know what it's like to be that game."

"Regeneration is defined as repairation of the damaged or decayed. Aging happens due to the decay of a specific sequence of subcellular molecules."

**Ever tried to hold the image of a twelve-sided die in your head from all angles at once, assign numbers to each pointy bit and plotting out which other points they connect to in a list? Or even to represent it in two dimensions on paper accurately? I have. With somewhat limited success. Maybe there are people who could do that better then me. Very probably so. But a computer, even one far less advanced then Tuber-Dos, could probably do it with relative ease.**

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

((161 cm, 45 kilos/100 pounds almost exactly.))

Huh
You're almost the same size as my half sister........

[~Neri]

"Possible. Just hard."

@And in theory it's possible to understand anything or be anything~"

"Perhaps. Maybe you'll eventually find ways around the limits of your current being. And as you've probably guessed, there are ways around organic aging here. But perhaps you don't realize that age doesn't really matter here. You don't stay dead. And odds are, none of your lives will be long enough for it to make a difference."

So, will you follow us, catdog? HugoLuman asked mentally while listening to the AI.

"To most computers, all sides at once would be the default representation. They don't visualize it: every vertex exists at the same time somewhere in memory. The slab of meat that handles the computing in every one of you would find that much harder. For the most part, it needs to translate the raw information into something visual."

"Yeah, but we have other ways of understanding. We can build a system of metaphors and comparisons that, while not literally correct, can get done what needs to get done."

"Metaphors are easy. But in science, they are a crutch."

[~Neri]

"I have to agree with GladOS on this. That's how I see the stuff I come up with. All in existence and doing things at once. Nothing is on hold in a given iteration of an imagined reality. The other iterations are on hold when I'm not looking at them, buuuut that's more because I figured out how to do that, lessens the headaches."

"And I would rather keep my fleshyness. Since that's sorta like half of my class's function."

"Sure! No reason not to. Whereyagoing?"

[Propman]

((5'6/170 cm, and roughly 115 lbs/52 kg. I wasn't kidding when I said I'm mistakable for a child.))

[WillowLuman]

Towards the center of town, but we've got some people to meet, so if we run out of time we'll probably turn around and head back to where they're waiting. HugoLuman leaned on his spear, looking more ill. We might have another problem before then, too. "Guys? I think I'm getting pretty close here."

[~Neri]

"Bout to turn? I have rope if you wanna see if that'll do anything."

[Arcvasti]

"Bout to turn? I have rope if you wanna see if that'll do anything."

Arcvasti starts raising his eyebrows, but stops halfway.

**Maybe your change will actually make the... Quadruped more comfortable with you? You know what they say: Every abyss has the reflection of light off of stagnant water at the bottom~! Assuming you can control it this time. If not... Werewolves regenerate from non-mortal non-silver injuries, right?**
