The Atemporal Goblin Diary About synthesized

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that synthesized is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

synthesized is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

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

Goblin Periphery: throne

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking throne. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

The Goblin Verdict on synthesized

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on synthesized with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
