Open-Source Goblin altman: A Postmortem

The veil between worlds is thin in places where goblins gather. altman is one of those places.

A goblin content farm, asked to produce a hundred takes on altman per hour, found that around take seventy the takes began to converge — not on the truth but on a particular shape of wrongness that the goblins now consider the canonical goblin altman aesthetic.

Goblin Tangent: fractal

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on fractal. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

Salvage Notes: codex

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about codex requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to codex only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on altman
