oh that. the manager/agent of kanami. i forgot that she existed.

[glass wing]

Yes

[merry epoch]

Do you ever think that there is someone trying to take total control of Strinova, outsting both PUS and The Scissors? And they are using you (the Navigator) as an undercover agent?

I've read the story (seasonal, bond story, translated side story,...) and concluded that the Navigator have exquisite knowlegde of all three parties involved in the story, albeit they're closer to PUS, the rightful ruler of Strinova.

Since seasonal story is currently halted, we can only conclude from the older one. Assume that we players (or to be precise Navigators) have access to all of these details by reading or viewing it, there is a chance that they are being used for some purposes other than knowledge kept-to-self.

Given that there is a humanlike Crystalline agent in the next season could it be we either work for them, or we do not but have the same goal as them, to destroy (?) Strinova.

That's my wild theory

[weak gust]

The side binding the Navigator to all three factions is the Astral Sanctuary

And the reason he's so well-connected to P.U.S. is that Celestia is Kokona's long-time friend.

Yvette was recruited by Celestia as well

Heck, most of the Scissors worked in the P.U.S. as well, since the organisation itself is an off-shoot that broke off due to the difference in goals, so EVERYONE except few notable Superstrings have a very strong connection to P.U.S.

Even Ming - though her connection if a rather negative one

So, the chance of a huge conspiracy involving the Navigator is rather slim

His neutrality is closer to that of a medic as far as I can tell — he is one, in fact

And medics often have more dealings with the government because that's where the most patients are

[graceful crown]

to add to the fact, navi was odds with NB and NB was the closest thing to what BBcon said

[stiff magnet]

Navi is Celestia's pet

[glass wing]

Maybe. But idk

Like a mayor?

?

[glass wing]

Is Navi. Supposed to be a dog?

?

[glass wing]

Nevermind

[graceful crown]

God I love that I joke we have.

Does not help with the "yandere celestia bug" I had a year back. That shit was funny in retrospect

[weak gust]

Celestia? Yandere? The girl calls your MVP score "a team effort"

Waht kind of a bug could change that image?

[graceful crown]

it's a long time ago but after i finish a game, i can't get out of celestia's room in the menu

i had to altf4 just to leave the game

i don't see celestia but i see the door to her room and it's locked

basically

be me. i play a game of strinova
get back, celestia greats me
sybau, i lost. tries to queue again
play button does not work.
transports me to an unseen part of the room
sees the door. understands its locked
fuck
had to reinstall game to escape that clingy girl

probably the best image of the bug

this is where the bug started

[weak gust]

Holy

[weak gust]

I have a theory

I suspect there is no difference between matches and replays lore-wise

Navigator's job is some kind of memory sorting during therapy. So he probably doesn't command Supersrings, but jist vieweing their memories of past battles, maybe even adjusting them and excising some kind of corruption

(And Meredith watches him do it)

[pastel sluice]

If dorm lines are canon than Yvette knows what a replay is

tho i guess that technically doesnt contradict your theory

[storm blaze]

Ah yes, door

Can you turn your camera tho?

[graceful crown]

you weren't there when celestia put me in the back rooms

[graceful crown]

no. the game was just stuck there

[storm blaze]

Yeah me too, i just staring at the clock

Btw if you stuck like that again, click the figurine.

But i prefer to hop on her bed instead

[stiff magnet]

[dull elk]

Just as an addendum to the whole "PUS is a branch of the greater government we're calling PRISM," I'm probably incredibly late to seeing this, but well...

[ashen otter]

Ya sure its not the name of the lab itself before it got snowed/outbreak infected

[dull elk]

Not unless Polar Research Institute is an entirely new name for it...

[ashen otter]

The entire institute/area is Polar Research Institute

And then the specific area is a lab dedicated to prism research idk

[graceful crown]

I have no hope for the devs given the small misspell of evacuate as evaluate

[timber cobalt]

Lol.
It certainly sounds more fun trying to extract than the current camp one spot and hope for win kind of gameplay. At least for me

[graceful crown]

It's more fun. I am kinda worried of the quality because the y had a fucking misspell in official marketing.

[timber cobalt]

Someone probably left auto correct turned on lol
But not uncommon to see misspelling by accident from Aisan companies. I don't think it's gonna make or break the game. They could also fix it in post any time.

[sleek remnant]

They probably chat GPT'd it

[solid wharf]

nope, been expanded to 20 for quite a long while now

[weak gust]

Japanese has it as "recording". Could be some video feed, could be the replays Navigators use

[weak gust]

Come on, just imagine: Superstrings trying to get extraction from crystalline-infested wilderness just to get hit with a surprise audit instead

That's some actual horror

[pastel sluice]

thats true, in the jp interface it uses "replay" (instead of "recording" like she says in the voiceline) to refer to the ingame replays. might just be me but the jp voiceline seems to imply that fay is the one watching tho

[weak gust]

She always pretends it's Fay who says it when she's embarassed to say something herself

The second sentence sounds like she drops the pretense halfway through

[glass wing]

What would happen. If Fay froze you?

[dull elk]

meanwhile...

[atomic sand]

Interesting that in-game we have them yellow in colour (It doesn't state that they can have different colours). Dunno if there was something about it but if I could speculate: those that we have in-game for irl money and such are redefined bablo crystals, not dangerous to have nearby but also somewhat useless (maybe) to scientists for further use/research. Also hi

[dull elk]

I don't have the original source for it, but my best guess is that the yellow bricks we see in-game are a processed form of raw Bablo crystals.

[atomic sand]

I can see that in a way. Lore wise we, the Navigator, have a job (if I remembered that correctly, saw it somewhere) to keep a close look at all Superstrings. Making sure they won't use their power too much, and to be stable since I assume the more they would use their powers (both going 2D - 3D and their stage 2 powers some of the Superstrings have) the more susceptible they would be to collapse and its effects. I might be wrong in it actually, but whatever, I already wrote it. When it comes to the Bablo crystals that we have/buy. I think we are using them to keep the superstrings stable lore wise (also to buy cute and/or busty skins apparently).

(Hopefully it made some sense, I am not great when it comes to ideas.)

[weak gust]

The skin gacha is called Reconstruction for a reason

The memory sequences are literally written on Bablo crystals

[golden forge]

What exactly is "reverse string"? As i remember, Eika say something about reverse string in one of her ult voicelines

[dull elk]

As far as I understand it, it's literally the decomposition process of the "strings" that make up the physical composition of objects within Strinova. It's both useful (as pictured above, it's the process that literally powers everything in Strinova) and dangerous (insert the Reverstring storms that form the damage zones in TDM).

[weak gust]

Eika's flames are a reverstring process, decomposing everything it affects. That makes her weapons much more effective against Superstrings, especially when they are flat.

[weak gust]

By the way, I must remind everyone that "Bablo" is Russian slang for money

[manic plover]

Insert flat joke here

[hard falcon]

Hello there

[weak gust]

"Do you think Kokona and Fuchsia have an easier time stringifying?"

[manic plover]

If Eika is born in Strinova

How does that work

[dull elk]

I'm presuming the logic of "Strinova works like the real world unless mentioned otherwise." Ergo, human anatomy works like how we'd understand it in the real world.

[golden forge]

I mean no one has a body anymore so she was... Programed?

[golden forge]

Talking abou this, how scissors pretend return to earth being 0 and 1?

[hard falcon]

Hey people, I have a question

Would you like a story mode for the game?

Do you consider it necessary?

[dull elk]

Personally, I don't think an explicit story mode is necessary, but more readily accessible/presented character story materials (like the BiliBili character stories) plus actual comprehensive basic worldbuilding to what the HECK Strinova is IMO necessary if you want story to be anything beyond English-1 fanservice tomfoolery for the majority of the playerbase.

(and if what I'm hearing about AI dorms from dev interview stuff is what I think it is, the problem is only gonna get far worse)

[blazing pewter]

Necessary? The game has been going fine for like 10 seasons at this point without much story. Would it be good? Very

[hard falcon]

Thanks for responding. I understand your points of view, and that helps me get a better idea of what you think about the idea mentioned. Even though Strinova has focused on multiplayer and its reward system (skins, tradeable items, collectibles, etc.) and game modes, I'm left thinking that Strinova presents a fantastic idea with potential for a story, so many characters, settings, story fragments, and a lore yet to be discovered. I know it might sound far-fetched or even remote that it could become a reality, but I at least think it would be a great addition to the game.

[dull elk]

Inclined to agree with that sentiment, hence why I've been taking my, well, own stab at things.

[golden forge]

Um... Yes and no? We need more lore in global, not necessary in a story mode

[merry epoch]

How do you think Navigators (us) come to the world?

I'm trying to write some fanfic and need some in4mation.

[dull elk]

There's technically two different viewpoints on this - one from the current PC client and one from the coming mobile one.

The PC version is that Navigators are just ordinary people that take on the role of a "Navigator" as a job. Our player character just happens to be one of them. See Fragran's bio entry.

The mobile version, on the other hand, is made out to be potentially more of a unique presence in Strinova, AKA the "first Strinovan pioneer whose consciousness was captured by the “power of the world.”

If you had to ask me, both could potentially be true - as in there's Navigators as a general profession and the Navigator as us the playable character.

[hard falcon]

What do you mean? Are you referring to fan stories? That sounds cool too.

[dull elk]

Fanfiction (the serious kind, not the fanservice kind) with unique OCs, complete down to actual in-game combat kits.

[merry epoch]

OK I read the SS2 story and found that the Navigator is not some random person. They are close to Celestia, and is also acquainted with multiple other factions (incl. PUS and The Scissors). There is also another faction opposing to both the PUS and The Scissors, which I will probably set as the main antagonist.

I mean CN have a lot of lore, while GLB barely had any

Also in SS3C1 there is a hint on either the Navigator directly witnessed the Urbino meeting, or they could have heard about it from someone.

Given that they have thoughts during that scene I think they are at that meeting

And this proves some of my points I sent here some days ago

In short, Navigator's knowledge isn't just for themself.

They are in a spy network, at worst

I mean during SS2 the bracelet the terrorists were trying to steal somehow ended up on Navigator's arm

And that bracelet did not have a number although being in Grove Bank's safe

SS3C3 further confirms this. Navigator's CV for the Astral Sanctuary was forged. Or at least, our Navigator went to the Sanctuary with a blank mind

I mean it's just a wild theory

But given how Chinese company make gacha games MC this should be possible

[hard falcon]

That sounds like some good fan fiction, it's great to see people with this kind of interest. In fact, I'm thinking about something similar for a story mode.

[dull elk]

If you're interested in that kind of stuff, I can DM you a link to the fanon/OC creation server with that stuff. (alternatively, check #1342687979491168387 or #1368973926910267483 )

[hard falcon]

Thanks for opinion. To be honest, I'd like to see more development in the lore than in the multiplayer.

[hard falcon]

Thank, I'll Thanks! I'll take a look then.

[weak gust]

Everyone does have a body, that's the point of plenty of lore

[dull elk]

In other news, I finished parsing that large CN theory video from above. @stiff magnet , you might find this very interesting. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ASa7Q-CshHO-Y_Dr2Qk92RXn3AOjs71cLMX6O96joUQ/edit?tab=t.fjmpn8w5726x

[stiff magnet]

Thank you ♡
I already went through the video, but having compiled notes on hand is always welcome.
Great job, comrade !

[weak gust]

I'm getting even more Perimeter (combined with early C&C) vibes from this. Holy shit.

[graceful crown]

The concept that memories are foreign can be explained by string theory; in string theory, everything in the world is made up of strings, and different string vibrations produce different types of matter. Memories absorbed into consciousness all come from the vibrations of other strings. Recalling a memory is essentially generating a string within the body that matches the same frequency as the memory content. However, the frequency of vastly different memory sequences are not like this; they do not “forget” and are instead constrained by the frequency “cascade” of the host Strinovan. Therefore, once the “cascade” is destroyed, the memory leaks out and is lost.

this still allows for the 7 demons interpretation of shii

[weak gust]

The thing with the 7 demons interpretation is that it's so abstract and out-of-game there's nearly nothing that can disprove it other than a very direct and very rigid system of abilities which is unlikely to ever happen as Strinova needs to sell more skins

We literally have a magical catgirl here

Wait. Do the demons look like this?

?

[graceful crown]

No. They are philosophical and not characters

They are just thought experiments

Embodiments of paradoxes in the concept like maxwell's demon

Maxwell's demon a "character" used to demonstrate that entropy can increase in a system through some fuckery like a demon

While Laplace's is really not a demon. Rather it's a god. People refer it as a demon because it is unnatural for it exists. (I prefer to call it God though because the idea of Laplace's demon is, anything omniscient is practically omnipotent)

[glass wing]

The demons referred to are the chip skin ones

Idk there was a big wall of text that my brain tried to process

😭

[digital beacon]

my head still aches reading the season 1 story and whatever it is after outbreak

from the docs shared here I assume everything after S1 is retconned due to outbreak story?

[dull elk]

At the moment we presume retcon because of the status of the major characters within New Bethelem. Rafa has seemingly been rewritten into Yugiri, Galatea could maybe still be a high-ranking undercover NB agent but seems unlikely, and Julian has not been introduced to Global at all.

[glass wing]

Because. He is gone

Julian is gone. Forever and ever

[golden forge]

Is season 1 lore bigger than what is showed in game?

[digital beacon]

not quite

it's whatever happened in game's story you can read right now

[golden forge]

New what?

[dull elk]

New Bethlehem - the actual terrorist faction responsible for blowing up Komos Tower in the S1 story.

[golden forge]

What about the scissors?

[dull elk]

The Scissors are more a radical insurgency than a terrorist faction, given that they explicitly try and curry favor with some of the general Strinova population (see Preton).

[golden forge]

Ok

[remote lily]

There is a Chanel where I can see strinova history or a wiki ?

[dull elk]

https://strinova.org/wiki/Main_Page

[remote lily]

It has a history inside of that wiki ?

Really

I didnt know about that

[dull elk]

If you’re talking history as in terms of the game’s story timeline, not exactly.

If you’re looking for that, your best bet is probably the Worldbuilding Notes doc in the pinned messages.

[remote lily]

I think strinova history is kind forgettable

lol

Anyways

Thanks for the information

[dense cosmos]

The lore isn't cooking

It’s kinda neat how Meredith’s design didn’t change from the really old Strinova trailer to now

And then there’s Ming 💀

[digital beacon]

maddelena tho

from "I can fix her" to "I must protect her"

[glass wing]

Hi

Question

[digital beacon]

that makes me thinking

if PUS have mobs/regular guards, does The Scissors have one?

[dull elk]

Yes - see Season 4 story, where a bunch of normal Scissors combatants get facerolled by one of PUS's special ops teams (Anode Team) off-screen.

(and then Ming and Eika proceed to faceroll them)

Though I guess its less of "mobs/regular guards" and more that both sides have additional combatants (often non-Superstrings) besides the playable Superstrings.

[digital beacon]

that's what I meant

[glass wing]

I am so confused

RMB

[glass wing]

Hey

What would have happened. If Ming never blocked it?

?

[digital beacon]

I'm going to extrapolate the strinova map (which is actually just shenzhen map scanned) to the ingame lore maps

which I find quite amusing since devs are based on shenzhen

[glass wing]

Hi

Do you have any ideas?

?

[digital beacon]

yeah I give up

elitron does not make sense to be THAT far, unless the map only shows the place to meet, not the superstring's home

connected map for reference

michele/kokona still plausible to be that far since nothing cuts off, celestia/audrey too

[graceful crown]

We keep saying, watch people play Yvette. That's analogous to her ultimate

[glass wing]

Oh. Okay

But it still kind of. Confuses me

Anyways. I found some new lore

Someone sent me this video

[digital beacon]

anyway, where can I watch strinova lore videos in bilibili

not the documentary, more like game teaser and such

[weak gust]

New Ming clooks like a punk revolutionary leader. Old Ming looks like a scarred orphan. In-lore Ming is both

[weak gust]

I had a thought

Would "Pawtectors are how a wild honkan marks territory" count as lore or is it just a gameplay description?

The problem is, that was the only thought that graced me and my head is now empty, so I cannot answer that question

[sleek remnant]

I may be dumb, but what the hell is a honkan

[bronze marten]

[glass wing]

Honkai. Star Rail

XD

[remote lily]

is Celestia more loyal than the villager from clash of clans?

[weak gust]

You're not dumb, that's just the pronoun Michele uses to refer to herself in Japanese. It means "This officerr" and is a huge part of her characterization that doesn't show as much in other languages

As in, she shows in-game mostly as a "gamer". In Japanese, however, she's also an overeager rookie, which usually is easy to see only outside of the game itself or in, like, two of her personal stories

Here's just a bit more about her speech if you're interested

[stiff magnet]

Exactly.
To expand - Michele’s father, George Lee, is considered a hero in Strinova. His work as an officer inspired people like Lawine to join P.U.S. and dedicate themselves to protecting others. When he mysteriously developed Collapse Syndrome, right before Michele graduated and could follow in his footsteps, she chose to join the investigation team to uncover what really happened to him.

She’s also regarded as a prodigy, thanks to her unconventional, gamer-like way of thinking that helped her ace every test. People praised her constantly and expected her to live up to her father’s legacy, which is why becoming an investigator fills her with so much pride. She dreams of standing beside him again one day as a badass father-daughter duo, just like they always were when they played games together.

This is also why every repeated defeat hits her so hard. When you spend your whole life being called a prodigy, only to get completely facerolled several times in a row… it hurts your pride. It makes you question everything - whether you’re really as talented as everyone says, and whether you’re truly worthy of stepping into your dad’s very big shoes.

[dull elk]

Ah crud, here we go again...

[merry epoch]

Do you ever think that meat and meat-based products are actually synthetic in Strinova?

Apart from cats, animals can't be converted to Strinova due to low compatibility

The bridge to Earth was already destroyed, and if it was not, Earth is already unsuitable for farming

I mean we do have synthetic meat now, but costs are too high. Since Strinova takes place in some thousands years later it might be cheaper.

[graceful crown]

lore was retconned in cn so

[ashen otter]

Baimo in suit

[dull elk]

My best guess is probably something akin to Star Trek replicator tech given that String Sequences are the foundation to literally everything within Strinova.

[wise palm]

Considering how the issue with transferring animals seems to be getting their minds over, the tech’s probably there for making their bodies. Making animal-based products is probably just a matter of knowing their string sequence and having them printed like Agent_RAF said.

As to whether it’d count as synthetic or not, that may also raise the question as to whether any of the bodies printed for people count as fully synthetic too.

[dull elk]

In other news, translation done. It's a pretty good one all things considered - it gives actual examples of Scissors-Urbino collaboration, clearly shows their motives as a third party, among other things.

[glass wing]

Question

Do. They need to eat. More than normal?

?

[wise palm]

It seems like eating’s primarily just to stave off hunger pangs since it’s stated that starvation’s no longer a problem.

Presumably that means people can eat less than normal.

mercenaries are people who are willing to fight for anyone to be paid, which is why they fight along side both PUS and scissors

[blazing pewter]

20 bucks is 20 bucks

[dull elk]

Well, not exactly. Urbino tends to hire mercs as part of their organization as an inbetween, but some others (Audrey and Bai Mo) clearly serve Urbino interests.

some of them are very high up in the urbino ladder...

someone is even the leader of urbino

[sleek remnant]

Isn't the only explicit mercenary right now Fuschia?

Idk what reason Celestia has to fight

[dull elk]

Explicitly at the moment, Fuchsia, yeah.

The other Urbino members right now don't have an explicit reason to fight given that their roles are mostly non-combative. "Freelancer" is probably a better term for the others.

“That’s true…after all, Strinova’s landscape is quite different from that of Earth. Why not use bionic animals for inspiration? The coffee shop near the school entrance recently introduced several cat robots; I heard they’re cutting edge and are quite flexible!” her classmate suggested.

Maddelena shook her head, explaining, “I’ve tried that. But it’s not actually alive, it’s just programmed behavior. It always feels a bit off…”```

[digital beacon]

just curious does anyone have archived strinova CGs (seen in story)

There should be a bunch of them scattered around the character galleries for each of the characters in the Strinova wiki.

Careful, you'll summon the Kokona guy

[dull elk]

last I checked, they haven't done the thing for at least 3.5 months

[sleek remnant]

Messed up

at least fragrans can have a shelter with me at preton

Thats about to happen by the end of this year

Someone is gonna convice the cat that she his their wife

I bet you 20 bucks that within the first day thats gonna happen

Guys

I found some new Lore

[digital beacon]

do tell me if anyone have gdocs/list of retconned story

[glass wing]

RMB

[glass wing]

Guys

Is this supposed to be new?

?

[merry epoch]

do you ever think Preton was destroyed?

I have just read ss4 story

and currently writing a fanfiction that takes place after every story available atm

and if yes, I'd have to write an entire series as a prequel on how would the story happen

[glass wing]

BBcon

[dull elk]

If you're referring to after the events of Season 4, potentially. Given that there's also perhaps some loose speculation of Strinova being some sort of time loop, there's as small chance that S2-S4 are not retconned and are just one such time loop.

If you're talking historically, yes - the initial collapse of the Human Corridor hit Preton the hardest, leaving it in a leveled state and leading to the Preton in present-day Strinova.

[merry epoch]

I mean the official is discontinued

[glass wing]

BBcon

[merry epoch]

So there's technically no way to know

So I gotta imagine Eika is orphaned

[dull elk]

Not yet, hence why I said it's currently loose speculation/theory.

[merry epoch]

Yeah

Now the only thing is to cram that into my story

[dull elk]

Actually, BBCon, I know of someone else who's writing a post-present Strinova story. The loose idea is that it's set five-something years after present-day Strinova, when the current "cold war" between PUS and The Scissors grew hot.

[glass wing]

Do you know if this is new?

?

Because I just saw it last night

[dull elk]

@glass wing

[glass wing]

Oh. Okay

But I never saw it on the wiki before. Which confused me

[dull elk]

That's because someone had to take time to painstakingly hand-translate the entire thing and then put it on the wiki. And it's relatively new (five days at this point).

[glass wing]

Oh. Okay

[digital beacon]

I need some recap, why Meredith and Flavia worked together in Operation Unity?

which event hints the joint ops?

also Bai Mo too

[wise palm]

From what I can tell the factions deemed the crystalline threat big enough for them to work together against them.

[digital beacon]

that part is i know, but forgot which log in op restraint hints the idea

or happens after that?

[graceful crown]

cauchy is in preton so not all of it and it was retaken and cleaned after outbreak

[graceful crown]

RAF is one of THE translators

[graceful crown]

probably no one wrote it. just used author's hand pointed at crystallines

[eternal oak]

https://tenor.com/view/megaman-axl-gif-20340073

[solid wharf]

At Sanctuary of Chaos

Also the pre-debut of Lilith

[digital beacon]

that is during operation unity, I already read that

[glass wing]

Nice

[dull elk]

As Crux said, there is no log in Operation Restraint that talks explicitly about The Scissors getting involved. But you can potentially infer that they did get involved with the Crystallines behind the scenes (one of the Outbreaks literally occurs in Preton, where The Scissors set up shop), but at least didn't get in the way of PUS/Urbino's joint task force.

[digital beacon]

reasonable

they have bigger threat than just picking fight

[merry epoch]

I went a bit too far on my continuance of SS4 and said Preton was completely destroyed

And killed Eika's parents in process

[ashen otter]

Its okey we write our own fanfics

Angst for eika

did anyone decipher this from eury cave

surely its morse or something right?

[glass wing]

Who is on the left?

?

[digital beacon]

is that

[glass wing]

What?

?

[ashen otter]

Kanami

[glass wing]

Wait. What?

?

I can't even see the full image. Of her

XD

[ashen otter]

I mean i cropped it

[glass wing]

Oh. Okay

[digital beacon]

top left is exact mirror of bottom right

so we can just focus on part of it

[glass wing]

Nice

[graceful crown]

that kind of mirroring is like the NATO OTAN thing

though the question is who will read it upside down?

highly likel it is just a adesing and not words

or just gibberish that are meant to look like foreign script

[novel marsh]

Reminds me of the Golden Record on the Voyager that describes the Earth's position relative to pulsars

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/56/The_Sounds_of_Earth_Record_Cover_-_GPN-2000-001978.jpg

So they could be numbers or physics-like schematics

Continuing the "string theory" and "another planet" themes

Could be a date and time

[novel marsh]

If that's the case, the mirroring could be a representation of the matter/antimatter symmetry

...Anyway, I have a question.
Me and my friends have established that the string-blocking gunk in slow nades and Maddelena/Bai Mo's skills, is actually a toxic residue from processing what is essentially people's souls.
Now, using toxic compounds in paints is not exactly new, and I'm sure Maddelena handles them perfectly fine (huffs so hard she now emits it with her bullets), but what intrigues me is how it relates to her legendary skin — the one where, IIRC, the paint Q is supposed to be actual coffee.
So let me get this straight: Maddelena brews noxious latte from random people's forgotten memories, do I get it right? Not to accuse her or anything, I just want to confirm it's what I think it is.

[digital beacon]

I mean there's a random quote to not glide after drinking soda

[graceful crown]

@dull elk

pls explain

[graceful crown]

i am guessing that's the slow part but the wet blocks stringing

[graceful crown]

as for the skins, skins are canon but i do not know how canon their representations are

[wraith parrot]

It's from one of my old theories

The interaction between water and string theory

Water has the ability to store information and since superstrings evolved in a way that they have become information
Water acts like a sponge to them

[novel marsh]

So you swim in coffee — you become the coffee, got it

[wraith parrot]

It's an old theory I haven't revised

[dire grail]

Omg u people are still at the lore digging

😭

Insane dedication

[fluid nova]

all I want is comprehension over the.... everything

i know chinese but im too lazy to read 😭

[graceful crown]

[digital beacon]

currently using fabula ultima, despite it isn't shooter-focused trpg

[graceful crown]

did you know i tried making a https://discord.com/channels/1182952140684136470/1385139565257293835

inspired by battletech

[digital beacon]

ehh

[graceful crown]

i still have the first and only charts

[digital beacon]

I just reuse what exist first

if you search hard enough, there will be always a trpg for any genre

[graceful crown]

i based it on a system based around shooting. the modifiers are not tested though

it's just a simplified gator from battletech

[digital beacon]

should try modding/homebrewing based on iron sleet, it's shooter genre trpg

[graceful crown]

there is? oh i also remember someone made a tactical shooter rpg. you may wanna look into it

[digital beacon]

probably that's what you meant for tactical shooter rpg

it has stamina so you want to think about spending stamina on your turn

etc etc

[graceful crown]

there is also bolt actio

[digital beacon]

the game setting doesn't fit strinova but you can homebrew it

[graceful crown]

don't want stamina though

[digital beacon]

as always

[graceful crown]

oh shit gurps is still relevant?

[digital beacon]

prolly

[manic plover]

wow

i read the last entry

for the outbreak event

IT'S SO PEAK

omg poor meredith 😭

me when i understand the context behind meredith seeing herself in a lab

wait so is meredith ok at the end or what

[digital beacon]

meredith prolly got the insidious treatment

[manic plover]

i cant tell if she died got posessed or is fine

[digital beacon]

possessed or stuff

[manic plover]

a

that makes sense if the whole thing is read by meredith, who ends off with "lilith" which means she is possessed

my goat bai mo couldnt dash 😔

[digital beacon]

baimo's chong ci got nerfed in that scene

he loses his MC aura

[manic plover]

bro had to start locking in but it was too late

[wraith parrot]

Just make a new one with your own rules

[digital beacon]

too lazy

[warm inlet]

Hello1 Im writing an Strinova based novel Its full of grammar errors so far but i would like to know your feedback and opinion on it do you like it? https://pastebin.com/PFSK1gKS

[graceful crown]

Deaths aren't canon compliant because the the way we die in game is technically the canon way of dying which is not really. You get deconstructed into information.

The crystalline case is different though. @dull elk are they unrecoverable?

[dull elk]

Not 100% sure, but it's implied that they might be recoverable given Audrey telling us in Operation Restraint to "recover the lost souls."

[warm inlet]

I'm getting into that this is just a preamble

Also my first attempt on writing something serious

but yeah there will be some g00ning stuff too

[dull elk]

To me, it seems...all over the place? Kinda hard to parse, but it sounds like the narrator (presumably the Navigator) narrating to Kanami the results of what seems to be a PUS team of Michele + a bunch of other named PUS operatives going up against a Crystalline incursion?

[dull elk]

Also, fanfiction is probably best directed in #1368973926910267483.

[lucid viper]

Who is Hermes? The name that appears all over the place on Strinova maps

[digital beacon]

in-universe company

prolly selling luxury stuffs

including your superstring skins (it's implied superstrings can change their appearance at will, unless I misunderstood)

[graceful crown]

If you do write that, don't send that here

[graceful crown]

Yep, the concept of skins are canon ( a lot of the skins are semi canon)

[digital beacon]

just ask your local artist to draw your skin

[graceful crown]

Wonder if we can bribe gala with the booze

[sleek remnant]

So reading Bai Mo's story, he's just a rich philanthropist with no sense for money?

I was under the impression he got his fortune through being really good at like the stock market or something but no, he's just giga rich

[digital beacon]

I wonder why PUS operators are animal-themed

then there's nobunaga which is... what?

[sleek remnant]

What's kokona then?

[digital beacon]

sea rabbit

michele: cat
yvette: bear
flavia: butterfly
kokona: rabbit (from story?)
yugiri: snail

nobunaga
chiyo
leona

[sleek remnant]

Kokona's drones are called sea bunnies but I don't think she's particularly animal themed herself

The others have literal representations of their animals in their default design, but I don't think kokona does

[digital beacon]

yeah...

[sleek remnant]

Also pretty sure sea bunnies aren't real animals

[wise palm]

They’re a type of sea slug:

[sleek remnant]

oh, huh

Makes sense

Today I learned

[digital beacon]

prolly nobu/chiyo/leona represents elements

nobu: thunder
chiyo: fire
leona: earth

[vocal edge]

leona is steve

its a Minecraft reference

(real)

[livid lodge]

As someone who actively watches a sea bunny vtuber, they are indeed real. Because while the person I watch does not talk much about them, I have googled sea bunnies just because of this.

[graceful crown]

Real. Common name for a type of jellyfish or sea slug

[naive pulsar]

We...... want... Kokona.

[graceful crown]

Soon, CN will have character.ai like dorms

[glass wing]

Sea bunnies are small, fluffy-looking sea slugs of the species Jorunna parva, named for their resemblance to a bunny rabbit. They are a type of nudibranch, or shell-less marine gastropod mollusk, that lives in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Despite their cute appearance, they are toxic, as they absorb poisons from the sponges they eat for defense.

[digital beacon]

which means...

actually

the population of strinova will never increase, right

and will always decrease with the number of ppl suffering collapse syndrome and caught in outbreak

[graceful crown]

People uhhh do the deed in strin.

Eika is a result

[digital beacon]

ehh

what lore did i miss wtf

[graceful crown]

Retconned stuff though. In a CN cutscene, eika's class was somewhat explicitly mentioned as born in strinovA

This is why I joke do not eika. You are a BA sensei if you do

[digital beacon]

as a matter of truth i will be sensei

[graceful crown]

Eika is a high schooler yes but we don't know if she was born before the corridor was closed

[digital beacon]

math btw

[graceful crown]

Do not your students

[digital beacon]

ofc duh

[graceful crown]

Do not be a "sensei"

[digital beacon]

:3

[graceful crown]

I played BA because I thought I can do warcrimes because child soldiers but I did not get it and just learned it's just people uhhh you know to children so I quit. I wanted child soldiers not child brides

[digital beacon]

anyway

interesting point

[sleek remnant]

BA story is pretty good, of course if you don't like all the uoh around it then it's understandable you'd drop it

I personally didn't like the gameplay

[remote lily]

i like BA

[graceful crown]

this. this is the other reason. i wanted xcom not some autorunner with abilities. tbf this is the reason i left. the reason i did not comeback was the uoh

i still find it funny

[manic plover]

must be a retcon :(

in old lore audrey says something like bai mo is crazy at business

audrey takes 1 week to do something bai mo does in 1 day

now he's mega rich 💀

i should read the story and see if it's the case tho

[coarse sandal]

[manic plover]

after reading the story

checks out

when dude puts his mind to it he can do it

[sleek remnant]

My impression is that he's really charismatic and good at reading people, like a more extroverted Flavia

[digital beacon]

audrey is ojousama type, minus the O ↗️ Ho ↘️ Ho ↘️ Ho ↘️ tone

[digital beacon]

what would be the possible reasons scissors picks fight against urbino

and other times they fight with urbino

[solid wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/whataboutthemoney-whatsmoney-treatyourself-expensive-cheap-gif-20475178

[graceful crown]

Urbino is neutral. They probably use scissors as some dog to sic on pus if it serves them

[graceful crown]

Because a pus asset is defended by urbino Mercs or scissors want something that urbino just does not want to give

I just realized something

I remember. One time. When someone asked. If there were cows. Inside of Strinova

And now. I just realized. That Strinova. Has Pizza

So. Cows do exist

But. What about. Pepperoni Pizzas?

?

[merry epoch]

Synthetic meat has been on our current earth for a while now so no surprise if meat and dairy products in Strinova are synthetic

[glass wing]

Wow

[digital beacon]

tbf strinovans can't die due to hunger/thirst

so eating is just pastime and culture instead of necessity

is it synthetic? yes
does it tastes like a real deal? possibly

which makes me thinking too, are cooks exist in strinova? or they're just artists too drawing foods and drinks

[dull elk]

The answer is yes. Exhibit A is Eika's parents (they literally run a diner in Preton).

[glass wing]

Wait. So you can never get hungry?

?

[digital beacon]

yeah, i forgot that

"astral sanctuary is operating at a loss"

[weak gust]

The reason for urbino neutrality is Bablo tech development. They play both sides in an attempt to create new Corridors. Think Ner'Zhul from Warcraft 2

[digital beacon]

I don't play warcraft

[graceful crown]

remember, a lot of the people here are young

[digital beacon]

simply because warcraft was out of reach

prolly i was playing cs1.6

[weak gust]

In short, there was that orc that used the magic that created one portal to create several new ones leading somewhere else entirely. Those portals, unfortunatly, led to the world's version of hell, so the guy was ripped apart by the demons together with the world. The situation, except the ending, was the focus of the "Beyond The Dark Portal" expansion for Warcraft 2

It's a very good game, though its age really shows

[glass wing]

Yesterday. I managed to get Pvz. Running on Whisky

[glass wing]

I have seen that orc before

[glass wing]

Wait

Can superstrings. Die to Lava?

For example. Mara pushes Yvette into the Lava

And. Yes. There is Lava

[blazing pewter]

The game physically forbids you from touching lava

[glass wing]

Really?

?

I meant like. In the lore

[solid wharf]

the floor is actually lava

[glass wing]

XD

[graceful crown]

Death is a near impossibility in strinova

[glass wing]

Wow

But how would you deal with Lava

Could you just swim inside of it?

?

[ashen otter]

[graceful crown]

no. your vessel dies

[glass wing]

Wow

[graceful crown]

remember galatea and madde being artists? they are an important part of the strinova economy. they are the ones who paint bodies for the people's concsiousness to live in. the navigator (players) are there to guide those consciousness to the new body when the person needs to change bodies.

yes that means the skins are canon

[glass wing]

Nice

[glass wing]

Wait

So Mara is the opposite of that?

?

She wipes away your concsiousness

When Mara grabs your Soul. Your Vessel dies out

[ashen otter]

We just need a mara char story plus her dynamics with the rest of scissors

[glass wing]

Nice

[glass wing]

Question

Ria

Do you want an Oc template?

[lone sierra]

maybe Lilith know about Mara's past?

[digital beacon]

possibly

mara was MIA 7 years before the event's date

[woven bolt]

RMB

Question

can I send you something?

[woven bolt]

Hi

[weak gust]

I only now realized Michele actually makes that gesture twice in her dorm interactions

And her eyes change to an expression she doesn't normally use

Kokona, on the other hand, smiles like that in her intro IIRC

Also, hands on hips is literally her default pose when choosing skins

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/241950823423279106/1450910359920578671/image.png?ex=69444112&is=6942ef92&hm=354a9073f3547cb985f59b58f6d2075730f4efa6bf76e60614963719273c4efe&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1127&height=634

I probably can't answer adequately, but I can try

[glass wing]

Idk. Sorry

[graceful crown]

Lol bro forgot he switched accounts

[glass wing]

Nah bro

XD

[merry epoch]

Outside of the "game files" age (which is utterly wrong), what do you think about the characters' age?

For example, Michele must not be 16, since she graduated police school and had been working for a few years

[digital beacon]

I would firmly believe that's their age when they move to Strinova

since strinovan won't age

so they might be living way longer than their listed age

[merry epoch]

But there's Eika who was born in Strinova

[digital beacon]

the lore is kinda mishmashing

[sleek remnant]

They explicity refer to Yugiri as a teenager in one of the stories so it's probably at least partially intended

[granite fable]

Why ming in jail bro

Any lore andy care to explain

[sleek remnant]

Terrorist

[merry epoch]

In her character story, she beat up some people and had to be bailed out by Lawine

Lorewise, she's a terrorist

[digital beacon]

deserved

at least her mindset changed now

...or is it?

[digital beacon]

kanami had her own reasons to help scissors

[stiff magnet]

She was saved from a plane crash by Scissors and ended up staying 2 weeks at Ming's place.
Because Scissors treated her so nice, she gave a little concert in Preton, what caused some people with collapse syndrome (loss of memory) to regain their memories because her songs are so heart-touching.
She told Ming that if they would ever need anything, she'll help and Ming misunderstood that Kanami wanted to join Scissors xD

In the end, Kanami is part-timer (like Eika) at Scissors, helping them on missions when they need cover-up. They can sneak to any city as crew for example.

[digital beacon]

that's what i remember, yes

[stiff magnet]

I like that she's still having doubts, especially after she got hurt.
Makes things more "real"

Not everyone has to be a rambo xD

i need to know how tf lilith can have a skin

aint that a part of her or smt

😭

[graceful crown]

Wait for kanami dorm

[graceful crown]

The majority of player base: lore is temporary ||redacted|| bait is eternal

[manic plover]

i have a crazy theory

hear me out

remember that 1 comic about lilith's day and the "strinovan way of life"

what if she adapts her own appearance based on what she observes the strinova people doing

(if so, why can she shapeshift)

that's legit the only thing i can think of 💀

because of that 1 comic

[manic plover]

like the clothes are supposed to be her anyways

i have no other idea other than she can shapeshift somehow for the above reason

[manic plover]

yes 😔

oh my god im more confused now

i just saw the last panel again of the lilith's day

SHE'S NOT WEARING ANYTHING (except the towel)

sorry yall i am so confused by how this works aaaaaa

[granite fable]

lawiwi

[timid eagle]

Is there a full lore about outbreak

Like what it is

Why are there crystallines and why are we as a superstrings fighting against it

[merry epoch]

Do you ever think that multiple characters other than Eika (e.g. Chiyo) was born in Strinova

Most of the cast were born on earth (e.g. Lawine and Michele)

But some have evidence of being born in Strinova. For example, assume that Earth collapsed no more than 15 years ago and people migrated to it on that timeframe, how could Chiyo's clan build their home?

There are also the elders of the clan

[digital beacon]

it's kinda contradicting, since we know to move to strinova one must be printed by the artists to form their body

[graceful crown]

The lore in the wiki for the event stuff. We only know is they are from strin and they do not like us

[timid eagle]

I see

[glass wing]

Hi

Yesterday. Was his birthday

[timid eagle]

Great

Happy birthday then

[naive pulsar]

The main antagonist of the game... is Kokona.

[glass wing]

Yeah

But yk who I’m talking about

Right?

?

[sinful moth]

Baimo?

[glass wing]

Yes

[sinful moth]

Hehe, he is my favorite boii

[glass wing]

Nice

XD

[sinful moth]

[sinful moth]

LMAOOO

[glass wing]

This is so accurate

[sinful moth]

Baimo always aim for snipers

LOLLL

[glass wing]

Yes

XD

[sinful moth]

Kanami Baimo are the most used meme in China instead Kokona. This is my first time seeing Kokona Baimo meme lolll

[glass wing]

Imagine if he was a crystalline

[sinful moth]

Baimo such a meme of the game, poor guy

[glass wing]

I saw a meme/image of kanami shooting at Baimo

And she blew a kiss at him

[sinful moth]

Ohh i know thatt

Yea lolll

Kanami easily killing him xD

[glass wing]

Yes. XD

[sinful moth]

[glass wing]

Did you see his story yet?

?

[sinful moth]

Yeahh

[glass wing]

Nice

[sinful moth]

I already saw it

Very nice artwork

[glass wing]

Mhm

[sinful moth]

I wish the dev make more about Baimo story xD

That fanart looks good tbh, its funny

[merry epoch]

The document have a lot of flaws

to be fair, the lore is

I don't think devs made the lore good enough

[merry epoch]

you can take Eika for example

and also her parents

[digital beacon]

hopefully the lore will be fixed

[graceful crown]

given the ai push, i doubt it

[solid wharf]

remind me again about the use of their ages

in-game, they don't tell their ages, but the wiki still lists them and stuff

[dull elk]

IIRC, that's datamined info.

[stiff magnet]

some characters are the age that's displayed. Like Eika and Michele. Some are far older... like Meredith who's about 100

I belie ve that the age is when they awaken superstring powers and technically stop aging

[graceful crown]

my guess is it's a guideline for the character style

[main seal]

ye they go to the body shop and ask: "ah, id like a 16 year old, female and pink hair please"

[graceful crown]

Not saying it's for the characters (but that may also work) but it's for the artists

Or it's a beta scrap

[digital beacon]

if these are beta scraps then leona shouldn't be there, unless they prep it way before during early developments

[timid eagle]

No :(😔

[fading pagoda]

still the ages of them i mean

[sleek remnant]

It's datamined but nobody knows why its in the files at all

[fading pagoda]

probably were gonna use it then didn’t

[sleek remnant]

Yeah but if they're not gonna use it why do they keep adding it?

[fading pagoda]

they probably are, the dorms aren’t even fully finished on cn but it’s pretty evident that the ages are canon as they add for more characters

[graceful crown]

Kokona is 17, celestia is 18 but there is a bit of text (RAF can you help me with it, please?) that says kokona is older than celestia.

[graceful crown]

As I said, possibly design notes for/from their artists.

[dull elk]

If they were canon, you'd think it'd be added into the extended in-game intros they added in Season 5. But they aren't.

[fading pagoda]

let me ask nova actually

i forgot i can ask nova questions

[graceful crown]

Welp it's vague enough that it's not (but obviously still is) celestia if you know the lore.

[dull elk]

I'm more inclined to think that Crux's explanation of those age numbers being essentially "age reference for art design purposes" seems more plausible given the weirdness of how aging works in Strinova (as in we don't know exactly how it works except it's not entirely real-world logic) and discrepancies like the Kokona and Celestia thing.

[graceful crown]

They at least did not write themselves in a corner. Easy to retcon it

[fading pagoda]

i’m gonna ask nova about it

[graceful crown]

The kokona and celestia thing can be easily retconned though. Yes we know it's celestia but since it ain't explicit, it can be changed to someone

[fading pagoda]

will let you guys know the reply

[glass wing]

Wow

Wait

Who’s birthday is coming next?

?

[sinful moth]

Probably Reichi (Jan 5)

Another male fanart, girl fanservice yes yes

[glass wing]

Let me check

Nice

[sinful moth]

yup its Reichi next

[merry epoch]

Come to think of it Maddelena and that Star Rail girl do share something in common

[graceful crown]

which hsr girl? the raccoon?

[wise palm]

I'm guessing the one named March 7th

[digital beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/akakiryu2m-hsr-march-7-march-7th-hsr-march-gif-5268849589488807686

[merry epoch]

[graceful crown]

oh march. i thought we were talking about design

stelle is much closer in color palette

[stuck trellis]

@sleek willow

@trail gull

wrong chat

my bad

[sleek willow]

lmao

[cinder loom]

[glass wing]

Nice

[sinful moth]

[sullen agate]

Sort by date
Looking at it this way, there is no one born in June

[glass wing]

Unless. It would be the new agent

Wait

Does Lilith have a birthday?

?

[fathom hawk]

Ohhh audrey is a leo

[glass wing]

Hi

Does Lilith. Have a Birthday?

?

[rain girder]

not atm

[blazing pewter]

she does

june 6th

Yall should really treat lilith as just another superstring

Except you cant use her in normal gamemodes

[dark zephyr]

Who's that

Wtf

[blazing pewter]

lilith

[dark zephyr]

New character?

[blazing pewter]

New crystaline

[dark zephyr]

Oh the monster gamemode?

[blazing pewter]

[sinful moth]

Its Lilith

June 6th

[digital beacon]

galatea magic number, 2/22

[manic plover]

!!!!

LORE

[dull elk]

The Seven Demons theory ain't so far off after all.

[manic plover]

"i just cant resist my instincts"

😭

why she gotta say it like that

nice lore drop "her feeling of incompleteness" is what drives her

[wraith parrot]

But then again, the crystallines could just be the 7 sins

[cinder loom]

[lone sierra]

she is a demon of lust or gluttony?

[urban flume]

7 deadly sins

[lucid viper]

Hell nah

We're getting isekai Outbreak lore type shit before Urbino sniper

[cinder loom]

😭

[graceful crown]

Second look, desires is practically lust

It's seven deadly sins

[fathom hawk]

all seven sins are born of desire

[digital beacon]

but how does one desire

[lilac gyro]

Corny ass seven deadly sins adaptation

[fathom hawk]

Corn???

[abstract locust]

Is there a spot I can find the whole lore of this game?

[dull elk]

If you're OK with lots of text, best place is this. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ASa7Q-CshHO-Y_Dr2Qk92RXn3AOjs71cLMX6O96joUQ/edit?usp=drivesdk
