I am high now.

Brother thinks I need substances to be whimsical

They didn't just get high, they got Perfectly High.

High enough that everything is clear and profound, but not high enough to feel the tiny shadow people climbing your nose hairs.

Sorry, we only worship crabs here. This here's a crab town.

Jesus was symbolized as a fish. If he does 'return' it's easy to imagine the way he does.

Take any body, name it correctly, and then you can have it travel back in time just like skyrim represents. Literature. Time almost warps to humans when we apply meaning. It is why the bible enthralls people. The body cannot return, but the mind can.

Great things to be unburied, but it is quagmire. Hence, the constant vitriol spilled forth.

It just needs a story. What stories have salmon?

Grizzly eats a salmon. Maybe that's the basis of our creation myth. Is the grizzly bear an antagonist?

No, it's an impersonal force. Our mythos rejects dualism; we have a time travel fish. The bear represents something else, like circumstance or cupidity.

Are you built like a cult leader? How would you like a job.

There will come a time when the distribution of 4D salmon will take the universe to equilibrium of mass. That is what will cause the universe to collapse into a big bang. The roe will cause uneven distribution pushing gravity to create stellar structures until equilibrium is once again reached. This is not a series of season but a continuum of spawning. We can only have faith in the now. Our purpose is null. In our insignificance we can choose our values. We can also not choose because whatever we are or were is not always true. The self is fleeting. Only the 4D salmon are true in theirselves.

With the salmon part, a bit, otherwise Hyperion. The Shrike is one of my favorite villains.

Braid and Prince of Persia, kind of?

Braid definitely has a large section like that, and a great final stage.

The first half of the game plays kinda like a tower defense game, except there is one peculiar enemy that just appears, disappears, and multiplies strategically (eventually forcing a loss), then it switches to you being that character with time-control... complete with seeing previous threads (your own character) sorta like adding another unit each time you rewind time.

I've been playing 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel it's remarkably easy to understand, all considered. It's only partially mind bending.

I think that's bastion

there are puzzle games that do that sort of.

I don't see how that would be any different from a regular time travel platformer

I just read through a little notebook that I keep by my computer to write down thoughts, lists, things to remember, etc. every now and then and came across this nugget:

Hermano = brother

therefore

"Herman" = "bro"?

also,

heavy metal band name: Dark Pontifex

Spoilers to what? I'm intrigued now lol

Use the spoiler tags. Now I know Q is a 4-dimentional Salmon. The surprise is ruined.
