## setting

DMC on stan lee:
|

> [Stan Lee](https://genius.com/artists/Stan-lee) was brilliant. Stan Lee was a genius because he put the superheroes in New York. So when I read a Marvel comic book, it was real to me. Avengers Mansion is in Manhattan ... Oh shoot, Spider-Man’s from Queens, I’m from Queens too!

- nothing gets better, nothing gets worse
|
||
- things happen but nothing changes
|
||
|
||
.. except..
|
||
|
||
- programmers have essentially become wizards
|
||
|
||
- even when things are obviously completely fucked they will keep going
|
||
- crypto
|
||
- the routine is immutable
|

|

|
