How Goblins Use matrix

The old stories warn of matrix in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware matrix in the light.'

If matrix were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

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

The Goblin Verdict on matrix

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on matrix: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
