    The Dangers of Conformal Cyclic Cosmology - A Cautionary Tale (Signalis)

    Here at Lagging Thoughts: The Podcast: The Show Notes, we are in tune with the fact that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing. This portentous presage has driven us to seek out Signalis. To prepare for the discussion, we recommend conjuring the following effectively evocative imagery in the red eye of your mind: Triangles Now That's What I Call Art History Triangles, but not the kind your grandpa would tell you about Oort cloud? more like bore-t cloud Put a pyramid of tortilla chips out with guac and call that the Sierpiński Serve Triangles (Nights) CONTENT WARNING: Signalis contains imagery and themes that can be distressing. Please be aware that we will touch on topics such as death, suicide, and bodily harm. Please only listen if you are ok with this! This episode contains heavy spoilers for Signalis. We recommend playing the game before listening. We also recommend playing the game after listening. Another time after that too, for good measure. Find us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/laggingthoughts.bsky.social Our opening and closing song is Faint One by Of Lanterns, you can find them on YouTube, Spotify and BandCamp! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3nHcgwsDVaAUvlm0YyzmuA https://oflanterns.bandcamp.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/61rXVUDvpjYO5qXwwWvZAT?si=WrPaHQRgQeau8I-rM7uD2Q\&nd=1\&dlsi=291b72c068824aba For additional reviews from Nick, check out his Backloggd: https://backloggd.com/u/Popegator/ Be sure to check out Gordon's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Jigglypope-kk5hw
