[Poem] Murder of Seagulls

Seagulls outside my window,
sounding so delightful,
but the noise is getting louder,
their cries becoming frightful.
I rush to see what happened,
and find them staring back at me,
with a shotgun pointed at my head,
it seems I've been deceived.
I do not think, just turn to run,
but it is far too late.
One pulls the trigger with its beak,
I lose ten pounds of weight.
Shocked and confused, I reach up fast,
and touch warm sticky goo.
I'd feel fear if I could feel,
but instead I bid adieu.

Cool poem. I didn't get any of the symbolism stuff, but I had some nice images playing through my mind.

Also, I don't get it; what did Lotus post?

We're approaching the two year anniversary of this critically acclaimed masterpiece, time to take another long look into the depths of its symbolism.

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[08:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
*Pluto's wraiths

Oh_Man -- Close enuf

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
[2026-9-21. : 4:14 pm]
Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
[2026-9-21. : 3:44 pm]
Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it
[2026-9-21. : 2:58 pm]
Vrael -- 240*12 is 2880, where is the other 3000 APM?
