Goblin Q4 Strategy: miku

The ancient goblin scrolls speak of miku in hushed, chaotic tones. What they reveal may surprise you.

Old goblin recordings of miku — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.
