distant past
not even JRR Tolkien, who famously developed the concept of the Secondary World and firmly believed that no trace of the Real World should be evoked in the fictional world, was able to remove potatoes from his literature. this is a man who developed whole languages and mythologies for his literary world, who justified its existence in English as a translation* simply because he was so miffed he couldn't get away with making the story fully alien to the real world. and not even he, in extremis, was so cruel as to deny his characters the heavenly potato. could not even conceive a universe devoid of the potato. such is its impact. everyone please take a moment to say thank you to South Americans for developing and cultivating one of earth's finest vegetables. the potato IS all that. literally world-changing food. bless.
early gnostic theologian: material existence is a form of torture thrusted upon humanity by the treacherous demiurge.
the same theologian eleven months on estrogen: well maybe actually it not so bad.

you've been waiting a while for a new maths update - and it's finally here!
improvements include:
in gender selection screen, added "sumtraction" option
fixed bug where positive divergent sums evaluated to negative numbers
added new 2-dimensional version of off-by-1 errors - off-by-[1,1]
changed the discrete maths server to a PvP zone (note: computer science is still PvNP)
the category theory DLC is now (co)free!
to prevent confusion with function graphs, all voiced lines pronounce "graph theory" with a soft g
fixed "vacuously true" glitch
integrals can now disobey fundamental theorem of calculus when unhappy. they become happy again if fed logarithmic functions
hyperbolic geometry no longer exaggerates as a rhetorical device (note: spherical geometry left the same as before)
rebalanced primes so that 4k+1's and 4k+3's alternate in Thue-Morse pattern. added an uncomputable 4k+2 prime
hot combinatorial games now distribute their temperature according to the laws of thermodynamics; cold games are now superconductive
added demo of "finitist hardcore" gamemode. as of now only two levels are available
subtraction is now associative
recursion is now recursive
added a nontrivial linear, associative, commutative binary operation on the positive reals, over which addition is distributive
exponentiated liner logic, so that additive logic is multiplicative and multiplicative logic is exponential
fixed "negative probability" glitch
redesigned the Tits Building and the Cox-Zucker Machine
fixed trigonometry
increased hitboxes for infinitesimals
added lootboxes
Pater Hoyt: Let me tell you this tragic story of the slow death of my church, the desperation of believers to save it, the most terrifying trees, the dismissiveness of science for "unimportant" subjects, and a concept of immortality so gruesome it makes priests question the existence of god.
Sol Weintraub: Let me tell you about the slow death of my only child, about time and inevidability and being a parent, about having to witness your daughter wake up confused and frightened every single day and my powerlessness to help her. Let me tell you about the Binding of Isaac and a nonbeliever's struggle with god.
The Consul: Let me tell you about the doomed rebellion of a beautiful world and the death of it's ecosystem. About how interstellar travel and relative time separate people. About my lifelong struggle to fight my grandmother's fight to the detriment of my own person to the point where I do not even have a name.
Martin Silenus: Let me tell you about my incredibly long life and all the stuff I've lost, including earth itself and my ability to speak. How I became unfathomably wealthy writing shitty pulp fiction. About art and the process of creation in such a profound way that you'll forget you hated me.
Brawne Lamia: Let me tell you about our Robot Kings and how humanity is unable to stop whatever they are doing. About how everything you have been told about our history might be a lie. About corruption and murder in the highest office of our government. And about the cute twink I met, fell in love with, got pregnant from and then lost.
Het Masteen did not live to tell his story.
Fedmahn Kassad: Let me tell you about my incredibly hot secret girlfriend and about all the sex we had in detail!
I think a lot about maths, dinosaurs and boardgames, often simultaneously 20,non-binary
