    An organic creature of that size would collapse under it's own weight due to gravity, so yeah we could defeat the so-called "Old Ones"

        The part above the waterline would still have the same problem. Square Cube Law is a b***h.
        >or is made of elements that do not work that way
        We've discovered every element up to around ~120. Anything bigger than that will have a half life measured in fractional nanoseconds.

        It occurs to me from the OP picture:
        If Cthulu's heart isn't at most 14 meters above the waterline (in his crotch?), his blood would boil from the vacuum pressure of being sucked up that high.

        Don't try to scientifically explain Cthulu; it only works if there's magic, in which case, questions of what would happen are anybody's guess (i.e. whatever the author decides).
        For my purposes, I've decided that Cthulu's weakness is 2mm Kolibri.

        oh look

        After the shitshow that was the 1928 raid on Innsmouth, Delta Green was made to protect the world from what shouldn't be known.
        It's officially a part of the U.S. government it's more like a secret society of like-minded individuals with a goal, a conspiracy.
        They aren't glowies, since the CIA itself has no knowledge of Delta Green but Delta Green often hires from federal agencies and special forces due to their skill sets on top of being able to handle the stress and danger.
        This doesn't mean they don't hire academics, so your anthropologists, mathematicians, and engineers.
        However there's one operation where if you're too much of a smart boy, they'll take you off the roster; don't want another Isaac Clarke and Nolan Stross.

        /tg/ has some threads about it from time to time and the player's handbook/agent's handbook is free.
        I think one of the coolest parts is that you have to explain how your character will deal with stress after the mission, IF you want to deal with the stress because you can always just internalize the pain.
        Now that I think about it, Delta Green is like if you were rolling around in the Mystery Machine but with Glocks in your waistband and a fake DEA badge on your hip.

          >1969-2001: After being disbanded, DG agents continue the fight as an illegal conspiracy full of cowboy cops while its rival agency MJ-12 still gets to work with US government support
          >2001-present: MJ-12 is disgraced and taken over by DG agents to become the state-sanctioned "Program" half of DG. Some cowboy-era agents don't like the glow of the Program and continue to uphold the illegal conspiracy as the "Outlaws" half of DG.

          That's a good point, my initial thought about old ones is there are more things than just the old ones to compete with. Shit even playing CDDA migo's say shit to frick with your head you hear them and think it's people screaming for help you hear them yelling for it, and a bunch of noise outside your safe house in the woods right outside town. Waited for a day to see if it'd go away, crept outside a night later from a backwindow other side of the building, fricker jumped me out of no where, ran out front stole a car and ran him over with it but I was like 3/4th's dead, he managed to open one of the car doors and hop on the car so I smashed it to shit till it died. Went back and looked the area I heard all the talking migo had slaughtered a shit load of things on that side of the building, anything living. Corpses everywhere. That's just a migo most old things would drive you nuts before they ever attack

      You misunderstand what lovecraftian horror is all about. The monsters like Cthulhu, Shoggoths, and Elder Things represent the fact humanity is but a tiny blip in the geological time scale, and we are likely just a thin layer of plastic compared to greater forces.

          You might be intrested in the theory of bicameral mind.
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origin_of_Consciousness_in_the_Breakdown_of_the_Bicameral_Mind

          Basically, it says that our brain hemispheres acted much more independently until rather recently, possibly giving rise to another intelligence/sentience/mind inside us. As in, each hemisphere of our brain having the hardware to have their own mind running simultaneously (that's an abridged version of the explanation, it's a lot more complicated than that). Essentially, brains running another voice inside us, advicing us or working as a sort of "second-guesser" for our more dominant acting mind. And that maybe these "daemons" or "gods" described in ancient antiquity texts might have been this another inner voice.

          And, that in desperate situations (or if brain chemistry is messed up, like in cases of mental illness) this atavistic second intelligence might activate again, starting to talk to us, or even appear as a hallusinatory person standing next to us. Or that children which are still going through their development and whose mind is not yet fully formed, might still have access to this another mind, which takes a form of "imaginary friend" that other people do not see.

          Normally we no longer hear this other mind, but this kind of development where our minds have more or less merged (or the other inner mind has just gone quiet) happened very recently in history, only around a couple of thousand years ago.

          This idea of a bicameral mind does offer some intresting explanations to lots of different hallusinations, Schizophrenia and personality diorders, but it's not yet a widely accepted scientific theory. They are doing more research on neural networks and neural science to study this hypothesis to get more concrete results. Still, an intresting idea.

            Funnily enough I was reading the other day the End and the Death from the Horus Heresy series and to the question done by Sanguinius about why the Emperor created the primarchs, custodes and astartes with the capability to suffer and feel emotion He explained emotions allowed to save up too much biological pre-programming, I think Abnett read Delta Green and at least one editor read Jaynes theory.

            An interesting theory but it does not significantly deviate much from Freud's concept of the Id, Ego, and Super-Ego. It's essentially describing those same features but in a Jungian way adding that extra layer of myth and ancestral memories over top of the Id. Which is also something that Freud accounted for but did not expand upon as much as his associate Jung.

            I will definitely research this theory of mind more and I do appreciate you sharing it.

            It already has some startling implications for the possibility of explaining the development of religions in the world and their cultural overlaps in certain regards.

              You can be the most sane man in the world and go out to the remote places alone and come back and be sane and you'll still know there are things out there that can take form, even speak or eat with you and thought at times seeming good are malign. There is no lie in that and no insanity. Its real as you are

    Didn't Cthulhu canonically get knocked the hell out for an unknown period of time likely measured in centuries or more after getting run over by a steamship?

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      Nah, he rebuilt himself although it took enough time for Johansen to flee, nowadays an interesting theory is that in truth Cthulhu's body is just a mental projection from a cosmic entity which is only allowed due specific star configurations, other theories suggest it's basically some nebular dust and not the position in the stars what is blocking R'lyeh from emerging.

      So no, nuking Cthulhu won't work because he will simply rebuild his body by forcing his will into matter.

    If we go by tabletop rules, then yes, you can "defeat" them if you have enough explosives or do something crazy like summoning a rival Old One on top of the first and having them duke it out. It rarely leads to a permanent victory, though. And the presence of even bigger cosmic bullshit (the Outer Gods) means that humanity is still screwed.

    I always chuckle when I think back to the original War of the Worlds novel by H.G. Wells: the Martians in that novel would have been absolutely annihilated by human military technology circa 1950 and beyond. Humanity would then retaliate by nuking the Mars.

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      It should be remembered that War of the Worlds was never intended to stand forever against every military innovation that occurred throughout the 21st century. Martian tactics were more or less WW1 level (mecha not withstanding), and thus something that HG Wells should be applauded for predicting. The entire point of the novel was to parody similar novels of the time which had France or Germany invade England, only to be fought off by superior British gumption. That's why there are sections where characters dream of using fighting machines against Martians, when clearly this is an absurd idea and the reality is the Martians would not be easily defeated by their own technology.

        Lol this, there was a book (I think it was called the Battle of Dorking or something, was published in the 1870s or so) where an unnamed German-speaking country invades England and basically did the Blitz with a fleet of airships. The entire point of this book was fearmongering and saber-rattling, not unlike the purpose of the CoD franchise today. In this light, War of the Worlds could be compared to Spec Ops: The Line, in that the point of both is to squat down and take a huge dump all over these propagandist works of fiction.

    In the original conceptions of the novels, probably. Most of the time the Big scary old ones need human agents to start cults and preform rituals and all sorts of McGuffin tasks. Thanks to things like the surveilance state doing things like starting unknown cults becomes much much harder. It comes down to whether or not the cultists can go undetected long enough to summon an old one or not. So the answer comes down to does humanity learn about the cultists before they can reach critical mass or not.

    Or if it's one of those stories where the monster is just some intangible unstoppable abstract doom, then we are just fricked no matter what we do.
