    Byron’s inner child seems to have a limited vocabulary.

    Also, he’d make a terrible parent. Denying a child when they’re like that only tends to make them throw tantrums.

      hey, his vocabulary wasnt as bad as one of my old D&D barbarians. he only knew 2 letters of the common language.

      “O” and “K”.

                      But Scientulists are cultists, so he’s multi-cult-ural? A bicultist?

      Obviously, he has very serious cataracts caused by exposure to mystical voices.

        Hey, us philosophers don’t “make fun of people”. We criticize them so that they may improve upon themselves. Now to start a political discussion on this forum so I can learn from and manipulate the political views of the common people while clashing with those of my sister.

    okay, so you’re a cultist. sitting in front of a berklezerker. one who hates cultists. and you think it’s a good idea to fill him with killing rage. good luck with that, fellah.

      There’s always been a problem with the cultist career path, in my opinion. Far too easy to end up in a suboptimal track leading to lower middle management, perimeter defense, and/or being drive-by spitted by the Crystal Fire Sword of the Chosen One.

    Now that I notice, “a cultist” has a pretty catchy rhythm when repeated several times. Reminds me of “Moses” out of “Singing in the Rain”.

    Diplomists, they noticed, the psychic’s, a cultist!

      Hmm, if I may? I wonder if it is possible the cultist is not aware Byron is in fact a berserker. Sort of like how one doesn’t know if that crystal clear liquid in your golden cup is water or hydrochloric acid if you aren’t savvy to that sort of thing.
