Introduction, Essays, and Q&A

Post by Artemis »

Adventure. Progress. Futurism.

Hatred. War. Prejudice.

Truth. Beauty. Love.

Science. Mysticism. Faith.

Catgirls. Flying cars. Lasers.

Welcome to Universal Constants.

Small announcement.

After long and difficult consideration (about ten minutes), I've decided to make Universal Constants semi open source. What does this mean, precisely? Basically, it means that I will accept stories, and even full articles, written by others who feel they have something to add to UC. Obviously longer and more literary stories should be reserved for Hallowe'en or Secret Santa, but short little snapshots will be accepted and appreciated!

Now, basically I'd be acting as an editor of a magazine, albeit and much nicer one than most :D . I'll take stuff via PM, look it over, make any necessary canon-fitting changes, and post it with your name on it, and a PM sent noting what I had to change, if anything. Remember, this goes for articles, too, so if you've got a cool idea for a Commonwealth subculture or a UNCAF powered armor design, send it my way!

A semi-open Growing--er, Universal Constants? Awesome!

*remembers old Secret Santa* I'd actually like to put that up, with appropriate changes to fit with the changes to UC.

I might as well keep the new soundtrack in here, to keep the OOC articles together.

I think this is...what, the fifth...sixth incarnation of the GP/UC soundtracks? All well. Let's get this show on stage.

Unfortunately I can't find a video or audio sample - I'll keep an eye out, though, because this song is nothing short of incredible.

Anaesthesia Necrophilia, by Stuart "Fucking" Davis

Daddy built a droid and named it Wisdom
stuck it in a steel balloon
taught it how to spit out ones and zeros
said it's gonna colonize the moon

I mean it, I mean it
I'm kidding

mother made an alter in the garden
out of bones and feathers
she'll be sacrificing something
said it's gonna change the weather

I mean it, I mean it
I'm kidding
have a little anesthesia
I mean it, I mean it
I'm kidding
dig a bit of necrophilia
anesthesia, necrophilia

but we pilgrims do forget
how a world is born
god just gags on emptiness
till it throws up form

I mean it, I mean it
I'm kidding

we'll get baptized in a bathtub
full of antiseptic
we're submerged in analgesics
till we just forget it

I mean it, I mean it
I'm kidding
have a little anesthesia
I mean it, I mean it
I'm kidding
dig a bit of necrophilia
anesthesia, necrophilia

you cracked that void
and let it leak
such a pervert
playing hiding and seek

who wandered off from home
and ate the map
now beg yourself
to take you back

spitting out white noise
digging those black holes
shove that shovel
into what unfolds...

is but a laugh attack
about the fact it never happens
as the cause of all confusion
is the clues are all illusion

I mean it, I mean it
I'm kidding
have a little anesthesia
I mean it, I mean it
I'm kidding
dig a bit of necrophilia
anesthesia, necrophilia

anesthesia-rock n' roll a'
necrophilia-coca--cola
c'mon, c'mon you know you wanna cuz
Godhead gives good phenomena
