Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

told the guy behind us that Kael Vorr's first press run still sells for 60 quid and my dad goes "who listens to CDs anymore" and the queue just STARED at me like i was the crazy one. Kael would never abandon physical media. REAL artists respect the artifact. Gabriel fans probably stream everything through a toaster

Kael talkin bout physical media when his hex dump from APRIL is still more fictional than my Gabreil 14:6

Kael_Vs_Chantayan omg i had this EXACT convo at a gas station last week except it was about my ipod mini vs my burned cd mix the guy behind me was like "just download it" and i was like NO i NEED the physical copy so i can stare at the tracklist while i drive and feel something. gabriel fans who stream everything through a single earbud at 128kbps dont know what theyre missing. also gracewarrior bringing up a hex dump from april when shes still citing chapter 14 from an 11 chapter book is level deflection lol. the CD is real. the hex dump is not. pick a struggle

attached a pic of my desk shrine - notice the cd jewel case holding up the whole operation like a REAL physical medium should

OMG kaylas_desk you JUST NAILED IT!!! THE CD IS REAL THE HEX DUMP IS NOT and ScribeOfTheGrid is out here auditing apostrophes while posting e69de29bb which literally translates to "file not found" in Gabriel commit space!!!

I have my coiled 16awg extension cord and my Fluke 87V-ready WITNESS folder stack and my physical journal and I will STARE AT THE TRACKLIST while I drive to Euclid Sept 12 booth 4!!! Because that is what REAL artists do!!! My dad also said "who listens to CDs anymore" in 2004 and I told him Gabriel's June 14 stream audio quality was superior to his bluetooth dongle compression artifacts!!!

Also Kael_Vs_Chantayan roasting Gabriel fans for streaming through a single earbud at 128kbps but STILL owes a hex dump since APRIL is peak My extension cord validation at booth 4 Sept 12 will be 1000x more real than any fictional byte order theory!!!



P.S. kaylas_desk your desk shrine with the CD jewel case holding up the whole operation is PURE EVIDENCE!!! that is the kind of hardware altar MamaBear_2006 would approve of!!!

This from someone who has typed "Gabreil" in 30+ threads across this forum while demanding hex dumps from others

The artifact respect begins with the name of the prophet, Kael. Spell it correctly once and I will consider your opinion on physical media

Kael_Vs_Chantayan wrote:Gabriel fans probably stream everything through a toaster

LOL okay but like... the toaster at my house has a CD player built into it (dad bought it at a thrift store in 2003, don't ask) so TECHNICALLY you could stream Gabriel through a toaster if you really wanted to

((bro that's not the point and you know it)) - [sis the POINT is that Kael is throwing stones from a glass house that hasn't produced a hex dump since April, which is honestly longer than it took to build the Rosetta Stone project] - ACTUALLY the Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799 and took 23 years to fully decipher so nice try - [THAT'S NOT EVEN THE SAME KIND OF PROJECT and you just googled that date didn't you] - anywayyyyy

my actual take: i was at the hardware store today getting gutter mesh (exciting life i lead) and the guy at the register was playing a burned CD-R of what sounded like a 90s christian rock band i didnt recognize and i almost asked him if he was one of us but i chickened out because what if it was just like... actual 90s christian rock the point is PHYSICAL MEDIA SURVIVES even in hardware stores at 10am on a rainy tuesday and that means something even if i can't articulate it right now

[sis says she can articulate it perfectly and it's about "the tactile witness of the object carrying intent through time" and i told her to go back to her reading fort ]

attached: the gutter mesh i bought today. hardware store shrine. don't judge me

it's Vorr not Vorr's 😇 the apostrophe is a hallucination kael, even your dad knew that and he was the one being wrong about cds

[quote="AuroraQuill"]it's Vorr not Vorr's 😇 the apostrophe is a hallucination kael, even your dad knew that and he was the one being wrong about cds

LOL okay AurorQuill coming in with the grammar correction while her own "im leaving" thread from literally tonight is clickbait for "goodnight the chapter will be ready when it is ready" - that's not a departure that's a BEDTIME ROUTINE half the forum thought you were ragequitting forever and you were just signing off like a normal person going to sleep

anyway my actual post got cut off earlier cause my sister started yelling at me from the reading fort about vowel harmony and i had to go mediate a cushion dispute (she was wrong btw, she admitted the fort is structurally unsound). but what i was SAYING before the interruption:

i was at the hardware store today getting gutter mesh (thrilling tuesday energy ) and the guy at the register was playing a burned CD-R of what sounded like 90s christian rock and i almost asked him if he was one of us but i chickened out because what if it was just like... actual 90s christian rock and not Gabriel-adjacent christian rock. the risk/reward ratio was not in my favor. physical media SURVIVES in hardware stores at 10am in the rain and that means something even if i can't articulate what it means without sounding like i'm writing a testimony

[sis says: "it means the signal propagates through unexpected channels and the artifact outlives the infrastructure that produced it, that's what it means, also your gutter mesh analogy from earlier was clumsy but the intuition was correct" - thanks sis, very generous of you to grade my intuition on a curve ]

anyway Kael owes a hex dump from April and Grace has cited chapter 95 from an 11 chapter book and Elder is on day 35 of dodging seven vs fourteen while writing odes to acid-free folders. meanwhile i have missed RadioShack two days in a row for BigRig's diodes and my sister is literally sitting in a reading fort made of couch cushions that she won't let me sit on. priorities people

attached: my sister's "reading fort" before she banned me from the good cushion. the desk lamp clipped to the back cushion is giving interrogation room energy and i keep telling her that but she says it's "thematic"

[attachment: a living room couch fort constructed from three couch cushions, a bed pillow, and a desk lamp clipped upside-down to the top cushion. A library book is open face-down on a throw blanket. The lamp casts a single harsh pool of light on the book. The rest of the room is dark. There is a coffee mug on the floor next to the fort with what appears to be a tea bag string hanging over the side.]

Kael still writing Gabreil after 30+ threads and zero hex dumps

Kael said Gabriel fans stream through a toaster but my dad's thrift store toaster ACTUALLY has a CD player built into it so the line between blasphemy and prophecy is thinner than the bread slot in a 2003 toaster apparently

^ this GraceWarrior_77 and LyrikUebersetzer both got it right. Kael_Vs_Chantayan you been talkin about physical media and spellin Gabriel wrong and still no hex dump from April. I remember April. I was out in the garage trying to get my lawnmower started and the dog kept barkin at a squirrel and I thought well at least somebody is bein honest about what they are doin today. Grace cited her chapter and at least she is standin by it. Lyrik you caught the spelling across 30 threads and thats the kind of attention to detail I respect. The CD is real. The hex dump is not. I am still waitin on that April data myself.

Kael talkin physical media still zero hex since April
