well obviously I would dive down into the middle of it and punch my way out from the inside
[Weren't the dinosaurs actually demons? Makes you think...]
well its not like this place is necessarily crowded with podcasts but people rememberin the name would probably help is there gonna be a subtitle those always make things seem fancier
And what would you do with the resulting lava that comes from the holes you've just punched through it?
[ It's Complicated. Some were. Some weren't. They were actually Ancient Humans, which makes this whole war even more pointless than it already is. Not that Ryo knows that. And not that Ryo knows that humans will eventually evolve into demons anyway. ]
It saves directing them to the correct inbox each time there's questions.
[ Please, please spare him a flood of notifications all in one place. Ryo is a minimalist. ]
I hadn't thought of adding one.
[ His show was pretty... Straightforward when it came to naming conventions. There's a small pause and then: ]
Eventually. Depending on where the volcano is seated, there's any number of problems with that conclusion.
[ He's just saying. ]
The second one. It's the most appealing. Since we're aiming for community engagement, making a suggestion is better than giving a demand or stating facts.
yeah but they wouldnt have been able to fight off me evacuating them
[And if they didn't listen to reason, he would've given them something scarier than the volcano to run from. As much as Akira preferred acting on good faith, he's willing to make creative decisions.]
network clutter haha seems kind of like a lost cause thats basically all it is
I mean I get the thought behind kinda ignoring all the bad shit but arent we talking about "better health practices" because everythings trying to kill us on a regular basis seems kinda weird
It just means we need to be inventive. There's ways to silence other users that don't involve blocking. It's only that most wouldn't understand how to do it.
[ He might have a few viruses he's toyed with. Maybe. ]
Akira. Are you suggesting we should lie? What happens to our credibility if we're found out?

I'm talkin about fighting a dinosaur or a volcano or something
that ones pretty good
it rhymes
thats always a plus
no subject
[ Absolutely. ]
And how would you fight against a volcano?
The dinosaurs historically did poorly.
It isn't misleading.
People are more likely to remember titles that rhyme.

What would you suggest?
no subject
I watched the videos in science class the lava will just cool off and become more land right
no problem
[Is he serious? Who knows.]
um... uhhhh
reverie query...
bring on your theories, to make your day less dreary
take a break from the eerie
fun for when your brain is weary?
idk

The second one.
It's the most appealing.
Since we're aiming for community engagement, making a suggestion is better than giving a demand or stating facts.
no subject
[Stop bringing logic into this.]
community engagement huh
because thats always gone over great around here
but yeah I guess that sounds about right
do you have any topics or questions or whatever yet
no subject
[ He will always bring it in. ]
Protestation is still engagement.
People like only what serves them in the moment.
[ That much is always true. ]
I thought about the impact of zero gravity.
However, asking the network directly for suggestions might supply us with a number of topics.
no subject
uhh
yeah... I guess
so thats why youre making this thing this way, so it serves them instead?
oh well
a lot of us have first-hand experience with that one
do they gotta be space themed
no subject
Partially.
[ It's mostly because it makes their lives easier, but that's just serving their purpose. So, that's not a total lie. ]
It saves network clutter too.
It would be stressing better health practices, but there's no theme required.
Speaking away from the realities might be better.

no subject
[ Unless they really liked monsters. You know how myths go. ]
It would reduce repetition more than that.
There's no saving it from status updates.
[ All social media is full of that. ]
I meant if we'd picked zero gravity and stuck to a solid theme.
If we don't, it'd work better.
Most listeners tune in to forget their surroundings.
no subject
yeah I know
[It's why he usually doesn't bother.]
oh
ok
what happens if someone finally asks a question you dont got all the answers for
no subject
Unfortunately, there's no way to block users either.
[ Well. He could develop one. ]
There's no single answer to any question.
Everything in science is a theory.
It's only that some theories are more supported than the next.
But, to prevent that, I'd ask that they weren't too world-specific.
Otherwise, there's firsthand accounts and the library.
no subject
expecting people not to act like shitheads
its no fun when you answer like that
youre supposed to say
thats when we start makin shit up
no one can stop us out here
no subject

[ He might have a few viruses he's toyed with. Maybe. ]
Akira.
Are you suggesting we should lie?
What happens to our credibility if we're found out?
[ He's absolutely bullshitting. ]
no subject
the old fashioned way
but if you have any more creative answers than that I'd like to hear em
thats such a mean way of putting it
its not like we'd be lying with bad intentions
itd just be for fun
I mean some people already dont care about our credibility so? haha
no subject
It won't work permanently, but it's a temporary fix.
A less destructive means would be just writing a feature of my own.
I know.
[ Jot that down: Ryo Asuka was joking. ]
You were never able to lie very well.
We'd have to discuss how deliver our "facts" first if it came to that.
