You boot Fortuna back up.
Player: Look, I've been thinking and sorry about snapping at you. I didn't mean it.
CowBoy: Hmm, well thank for saying sorry but you really have to hold back on doing that ok?
CowBoy: I think the game is really messing with you. You need to learn when to put it down. That run you're doing, it's like a sickness. Sometimes you just need to put the dog down bro.
Player: I'm not giving up CowBoy. At least not yet. I'll try to keep an eye on my temper though. I really don't want to snap at you again.
CowBoy: Ok. Well, how are you doing in the game?
Player: Well I found out that the Apollo in the tutorial was really a roman Apollo.
CowBoy: Huh?
Player: Now I'm up to my second game. The characters I make for this game are going to be great.
CowBoy: You have to worry about your game bugging out soon. It's pretty normal in this.
Player: Normal? Bugs shouldn't be normal in a video game.
CowBoy: Dude. The sun god run corrupts your game like hell. That's like the biggest reason it's so hard. It's not normal in a typical game but a sun god one? Yeah, you bet it is.
CowBoy: Cause your game falls apart. Rots away from the inside out.
Player: ...oh.
CowBoy: You're only on game 2, so likely not too close to the end of the universe, but as you fucking get closer.
CowBoy: Things start to deteriorate. Characters end up stuck in floors, unable to get out.
CowBoy: And, weird shit starts to set in bro.
CowBoy: Like, deleted content and unused assets come back.
CowBoy: You think the devs would get rid of those things.
CowBoy: But they didn't.
CowBoy: Some of it is pretty fucked up, and it's pretty clear why most of those assets were scraped.
CowBoy: Like... This is embarrassing, but I stopped playing the sun god run not because I was tired of losing, but because I ran into what people call "Alpha Somnus and Mors." Fuck no. Just Fuck no.
CowBoy: They're just called "DOGGY" and "SMALLCHILD" by the game but. The way they look, it's like they're alpha versions of those two dudes.
CowBoy: And I.
CowBoy: Am honestly fucking creeped out by them. They're a super rare glitch that happens when fighting or trying to tame Somnus or Mors. But the sun god run makes it more common, still rare but more likely to happen.
CowBoy: And just, nah man, nah. With all the creepy as heck glitches that happen, this one was just the one that broke the camel's back.
CowBoy: Then some assets don't even seem like they're part of the game.
CowBoy: Like as if it was a part of some botched game they got rid of or something, and they just built Fortuna right on top of it.
CowBoy: Stop playing if you're not ready for that shit.
Player: .....I think I can still keep doing this.
Player: Like I said, I at least need to try. If I lose, then I'll restart the universe cleanly.
Player:Is there a group chat I could join about this game? It might help if I'm with a whole group of people who I can talk to at once.
CowBoy: Look I'm going to be honest, I'm worried about you, and I don't know if a group chat is the best idea.
CowBoy: You can't keep snapping at people just cause they're messing with the characters in the game dude.
CowBoy: I mean, I guess I don't care if you do it to me cause I let that shit roll right off me like butter.
CowBoy: But I'm not going to take it if you go around and fucking do it to the others.
Player: That's ok, I understand. I hope I can be added later though.
Player: Anyway, how bad are these glitches going to get?
CowBoy: Pretty bad, and there's no way to stop them without killing the sun god.
CowBoy: You can likely get the help of some of the AIs to fix some of the glitches, the biggest helpers, but the fucking hardest ones to get, are Mors and Somnus. That's the only reason I got in a battle with them.
CowBoy: I'm not going to show you pics of the glitch or nothing because it's like.....
CowBoy: An experience?
CowBoy: You can't just see a picture of it, it totally ruins the feeling of things. Also, I didn't take any pics of it.
CowBoy: By the time you get to 200 years before universal death you're just going to start losing crew members to complete bullshit.
CowBoy: "Where did Bob go?"
CowBoy: "Oh yeah Bob just faded out of existence, don't worry about it."
CowBoy: "Oh hey, yeah the file for your captain and a black hole got mixed up, so that's why a blackhole randomly "spawned" and killed everyone."
CowBoy: Thanks, Fortuna.
CowBoy: Anyway, while you can't be added to the chat yet, how about you speak to AbsoluteTrash. I think this dudebro is more your style and might understand some of the things you say a little more than me.
CowBoy: She's a pretty cool dude is what I'm saying.
Player: Do you call everyone a dudebro?
CowBoy: Yes.
CowBoy: Anyway she online if you want to contact her to talk Fortuna.
CowBoy: Don't yell at AbsoluteTrash, ok?
Player: Don't worry. I won't.
