Goblin Tendrils Wrapped Around protocol
The ancient goblin scrolls speak of protocol in hushed, chaotic tones. What they reveal may surprise you.
The slopification of protocol was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. protocol has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because protocol was always a little bit slop-adjacent.
