For those people who want to click next, the AUTO feature was fixed very early on in the code updates for OoT. You should be able to set it to a certain time and it will continue to transition through text for you. The only times it will not if there is a cinematic image transition or pause at that moment in the conversation or a multi-choice conversation/branching/free-roam section

I'd say the gememods got serious in chapter 19 when it was revealed Sarah is CJs genetic clone and that every single gene in his body was edited (likely by his dad's lancing).
My reaction to that was "OK, so, the magic lance did genemods. Weird, but sure." The ch39 reveal is kind of a "oh my frigging god maybe absolutely everything we've believed about the grand divine plot is bullshit".

You are all looking at it the wrong way (so does Jamie and Shayla).
Why would Chad Thundercock give his progene some cool mods made for fucking?
Because it's mothercucking Chad Thundercock Jr! and dad only wants his son to get laid like a champ.

Really, love the whole point of triying to find ulterior reasons to something that doesnt have it in reality. Them triying to find dad's big master plan, when there really isnt any, just having fun cause Chad cool.

Maybe, but I doubt it. The story is pretty well thought-out. The current theory is that the "Chad Thundercock Sr" meme guy was how the old Sun God ("Old Glory" ) presented himself because that is what would work when talking to a not-very-bright 14yo kid. But the "marketable genemods" thing suggests that CJ was actually created by someone with a monetary interest, not some magic divine superpower angle. Either way he's a construct of some sort, we knew that, but the "who and why" part just became more interesting because neither explanation makes sense given what we currently know about the other. There are some big, big reveals coming.

And "fortunately" there was (is?) the reunion with CJ's mother, so the hope for answers is far from absurd.

Does it? I thought it was relayed to us in no uncertain terms that this level of modifications is beyond mortal means. Clearly, everything that is happening, including whatever schemes goddesses are trying to pull, is a part of a Grander Plan that is upcoming Conjunction (i think that's the word used). I guess CJ is supposed to give a birth to a new breed of superior humans.

"marketable genemods" is how someone who works in that industry is likely to look at what's going on here but that doesn't necessarily mean there isn't another dimension to the whole thing

That's what I mean about the explanations being inconsistent. The gods have no reason to make those mods, and the mortals have no ability to do them. Grandpa Hidaka, I'm looking at you.

How about creating a perfect physical vassal to interact with the material world? They don't do gene therapy, they just magick living matter into a perfect condition.

If that's the case, then it's a question of why activation was both needed and not done immediately.
As we know from Ashly, sometimes mods just don't take and maybe activating them immediately would also set things in motion too early. Or something.

I couldn't tell you the why as I don't have the mind of a god but it sounds like what our genes commonly do, with some controlling the expression of other genes and turning on or off due to some outside stimulus.

Also this.
What Shaila and Jamie see has "gene mods" might just be God's magic at work here. Yeah, he was modified to be the ultimate chad. But with powers, not a lab.

You could even theorize that CJ is intended to be the perfect progenitor of a new universe. We know he will eventually have the power to create universe's at will, perhaps he is also meant to serve as the divine "Adam" of these worlds as the father of an entire race.

This one looks amazing, but boy +7GB is too much. Will wait for a compressed version.
