Commentary

Posted October 14, 2026 at 12:16 am

EGSNP will return next week on Thursday (the 22nd). My apologies for it taking a bit.

- Diane's somewhat unique interpretation of "nerd". Basically "someone who values technical knowledge or trivia over people," though she doesn't assume others mean that anymore.

Nonetheless, Diane failed to communicate because she made a vague gaming reference (a girlfriend reference to her, but still), and Jay called it nerdy. Valuing vague references over communication is the sort of thing Diane would criticize, so that's unintentional salt on the wound by Jay right there.

- When last we saw Lucy

- Second to last spell Pandora ever gave someone

You. Have NO idea. How many times I've almost randomly revealed this.

Sort of.

Ever since the start of The Legend of Diane, there has been the thought "maybe I'll have Lucy do a thing that essentially reveals this." I say "essentially reveal" because the exact thoughts usually involved her breaking something, and it being a bit odd that she could break such things.

The focus of the stories never really made that work, so I only ever subtly hinted at it.

Given what I've decided since then, I'm super glad I didn't include any of those moments, and I'll explain why in the next commentary!

(Not that it's an enormous spoiler, but it would be a spoiler.)
