All programming problems are very interesting to the person/people solving them and intolerably boring to anyone else on earth.
@Fuego Metaphor is your friend. "So, Azathoth the Devourer sits in our data center, and it devours all hope and joy in the office. We have a plan to switch from worshipping Azathoth to worshipping a pantheon of smaller, less fraught gods, but Azathoth demands tribute of time and devotion. So, we're trying to introduce these new gods as servitors of Azathoth, diminishing direct invocations until one day Azathoth will realize we only invoke its servitors. Then it may be vanquished."

@literorrery @Fuego I have often begged for these stories to be told in this format
@smallesttiger @Fuego Every season, Azathoth prepares to enter the world, but first we have to give adequate devotions and care of the hosts. I've been chosen to lead the preparations this season. So, my days right now are spent deciding who must give a share of time to Azathoth, and who is allowed to continue to coax new servitors into Azathoth's orbit. My time, they tell me, is too precious to spend on devotion. I just get to decide who serves and measure the pleasure of Azathoth.
