The secrets of Stein's Gate continue to unravel, bit by bit. It would seem that, if my memories of this other life are to be trusted, I was some sort of game duelist - if the grandeur of the venue of combat is to be considered, one of great skill and infamy. Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that I ranked globally.

Why, though? What purpose do these memories serve? Are they clues, to be used in preventing some future catastrophe in this world? Or are they simply the blind muttering of senile gods, showing us a window into a world with little bearing on our own?

So many questions, yet the answers I seek remain elusive. The time of the Gate's opening remains out of reach. El Psy Congroo.

I hope you get your skill back in future flashbacks~

[[and an attached photo]]

This look familiar?

[steinsgatehaschosen]

Negative. The game I was playing used a board and square tiles.

[shiromadoushi]

[[well crap. So much for that idea]]

Like an RPG or just a regular board game? Or something like go or shougi?

[steinsgatehaschosen]

Yes, the details are all coming back to me now... the board was more complex and nuanced than something like chess. There were a variety of different tiles, all with the same digital theme... some were viruses, some special programs to be activated.

My vote is - "window into another world".

Or another life. If you will. That's the idea I'm personally quite partial to, as I fail to see how most of the trappings I'm getting, nice as they are, would be of much help to anybody in preventing anything as enormous as a catastrophe.

Perhaps Stein's Gate cannot control the sequence of events echoed across the barrier between worlds! Deep within each of us is some critical ability of knowledge that will undo The Organization's schemes, and we must remain vigilant until it reveals itself.

I was "granted" a pair of glasses, dear, and if you expect knowledge as to how a pair of glasses could possibly key to the downfall of whatever "Organization" you're referring to, you're asking the wrong pony. [All very clipped, mostly pressed flat - still with pointed inflection.]

[chalicejoker]

The game didn't involve cards, did it?

[steinsgatehaschosen]

I'm afraid not. Tiles and cunning tactics, but no cards.

[chalicejoker]

In a weird sort of way, that's a relief. I'm remembering cards on top of everything else. You're lucky you're not in for this mess.

So what kind of combat did yours have?

[oh great, it's this jerkwad again. 'El Psy Congroo'? What the hell kind of stupid codeword is THAT?

Danny is not normally this easily annoyed, but after the annual all-day Columbus Day arguments his parents had are currently having, he's in a pretty sour mood.]

Do you always have to talk like that?

Besides, what is "the blind muttering of senile gods" even supposed to mean?

[steinsgatehaschosen]

I only speak as is appropriate for a mad scientist such as myself.

[gogoghostpowers]

How are you a mad scientist? I'm pretty sure mad scientists do more than post a bunch of weird words onto magic conspiracy networks.

[ Oh, this guy. ]

Gate? What gate?

[steinsgatehaschosen]

Stein's Gate! The gate between worlds, the very doorway of destiny itself!

[argents]

A gateway...wait, so...this had something to do with some battle arena?

Super public video to entire network.

[part_time_overlord]

Don't ask him to explain what Stein's Gate is. It's stupid and doesn't make any sense.

[vanisland]

I'm getting the impression that it's some theoretical "super-echoing pulse" that makes everything suddenly make sense when triggered.

[part_time_overlord]

Nope. He's been talking about Stein's Gate for ages.

Because he's weird.

[metalbent]

Hey, when are you going to make a post that makes sense?

[steinsgatehaschosen]

It's no fault of mine if you can't keep up with my intellect!

[metalbent]

Maybe if you'd talk about things that exist and aren't crazy that would help, man. Or even if you explained what the heck you're on about.

My theory is that some of us fought off sinister alien invasions like the one we have here, and some of us had lame jobs like professional gamer.

Re: Voice -- Phone

[steinsgatehaschosen]

Laugh while you can! The players of games are among the most overpaid people on the planet.

[soulsborderline]

Please, they have nothing on actual professional athletes.
