Concepts
  • "The Silver Key" is based on the "Dreamlands" of H. P. Lovecraft.
  • "Green Eyes" is based on the story of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (Spanish poet 1836-1870)
  • "Julius Caesar" and "Alea Jacta" are based on Julius Caesar, a Roman military and political leader.
  • "Vivaldi's Winter" is a metal version of an Antonio Lucio Vivaldi's composition. This track includes a silence about 5 min 40 sec in between "Vivaldi's Winter" and "noname Piano Music".
gollark: That isn't really a goal. Virioids aren't going around thinking about their goals and how best to satisfy them. They just do things related to that due to the output of blind optimisation processes.
gollark: Things winning is often not determined by actual merit but unrelated factors and random chance. This happens a lot in computing, where a terrible standard comes first or is supported by big companies or something, and nobody can ever get everyone to switch.
gollark: I think it's just the sugar molecules on their own and presumably very concentrated.
gollark: I agree.
gollark: It's entirely possible to be consistent here. I would probably not like someone who only talked about their drug use whatever that was, but it's hard to say as I've never actually interacted with any.
