The quest for Torment Nexus continues

If we don't create the Torment Nexus first, somebody else who is much less responsible is gonna create the Torment Nexus before us. It's outright irresponsible to not take the lead, we might have to even give up on all safety concerns to make sure we make it to Torment Nexus IPO first.

We cannot allow a Torment Nexus gap!

Since we all know that at this point, someone is definitely going to build the torment nexus, we all may as well get involved and help, so that at least we can exert some limited degree of control over the eventual character of the torment nexus. At least that way maybe we can make it a little less terrible. At any rate, it can’t make it worse than it would have been if we -didn’t- help build it!

whats the other option, touch grass? not likely!

If you're going to get involved in a torment nexus project, at least do yourself a favor and research the different comp packages being offered and choose the best one.

And of course, a healthy skepticism of "the man" is essential when you're busting your ass building his unfathomably horrifying torture apparatus for him 40-50 hours a week (excluding PTO days and parental leave of course).

If we don't do our best to awaken Dead Cthulhu, when He invariably awakens He will know that we didn't do our best and we'll be eaten last by the Great Old Ones upon Their return!

Eagerly waiting for the TormentBench.
