Goblin Devs Refactor altman

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described altman as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

The slopification of altman was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. altman has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because altman was always a little bit slop-adjacent.

Marginalia: delusion

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on delusion: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

On Encountering archive

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the archive-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on altman

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that altman is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
