[burnt wren]

Unless we canonically flawlessed that shit whtout getting hit, bitten or scratched once but somehow i really doubt that

[eternal talon]

There most certainly is, otherwise how would we wake at the start of ever level in the middle of a giant ass pit?

The main thing is doubting weather or not they would have the resources to do it that way. We know there is a limit, because shaeffer had to do it manually with Maddox but didn't because he didn't know.

So maybe it is direct connection with biocom for it to be automatically administered? Who knows

Devs wrote themselves into a corner. Literally deus-ex machina'd their way into what is honestly probably THE most deadly virus in video game HISTORY, maybe even science fiction as a whole

Infection as a mechanic isn't nam-v. We know this because of the syringes, which were shipped in from off-site yet still had the same viral effect

Probably just some other kind of poison/infection

Much less mundane than nam-v

(Also disinfect packs and stations would do literally nothing if it were nam-v)

(And before you say bodies, they've made that mess even more complicated in ALT//)

White In Gameplay: dissolve
White in Lore/scenery: don't.

Red in gameplay: dissolve
Red in lore/scenery: dissolve

All other variants known both dissolve in gameplay but not in lore. Only the red "blood door" subspecies of parasite we have confirmation actually canonically disintegrate

We have names for a ton of different subspecies, but I do not have them on hand.

It'd be against the whole point of the symbiosis for them not to. The parasite gives the virus an infinite fuel source. That fuel would be wasted/pointless if it couldn't continue to transmit between hosts and evolve

[eternal talon]

(CLARIFICATION: THEY STILL HAD THE SAME VIRAL EFFECT BEFORE THE VIRUS/PARASITE GOT OUT IIRC)

[plush nest]

They should make an enemy that pretends to be dead like the white sleepers but then jumps someone the moment they get too close

[royal crow]

dead space vibes

[dawn geyser]

try being desynced

[plush nest]

you are the enemy

[honest summit]

A sleeper chilling on a Box?

[honest summit]

Depends on how you Look at it, it might rival the Likes of Flood from HALO, depending on how you Look at it. (If you Count the fact that nam-v is scattered across countless multiverses)

[warped bloom]

A cardboard box

[plush nest]

That’s just Fred, he is our supervisor

[toxic wagon]

My first thought was curbstomping a strikers head and it would still be alive.

Imagine if we had a regenerating enemy like in RE and Dead space

[royal crow]

Pablo kinda comes close to it

the closest thing we have to the hunter (regenerator in dead space)

[toxic wagon]

:/ if only Pablo wasn't so easy to babysit

[plush nest]

It’s literally just a chore for the one person

And it’s unpaid

[royal crow]

its more like a date

especially if you run cfoam

Pablo loves c-foam

(i replied to the wrong message)

[plush nest]

I honestly didn’t know you could sea foam him

[royal crow]

you can
but not worth it

it lasts a couple seconds

[plush nest]

I assume doesn’t last long

Ya

I still need to complete r7e1

Not looking forward to it

[royal crow]

its fun

not that hard

honestly

its just a bit harder than R2E1 but not too much

[plush nest]

Still need to do r2e1 as well

Haven’t really done any e tiers

[royal crow]

yikes

good luck man

E tiers are a massive step up from the average level

(R8E1 doesnt count)

[plush nest]

Ya I noticed going from d to e, d tiers are fun

[plush nest]

C level at best

[vestal haven]

guys what is the shit in the nightmare dimension

the floating dust

why is it just the upside down

[royal crow]

the floating dust is Nam-v

i guess

really really concentrated particles of the virus

idk
im not a biologist or whatever

[burnt wren]

I believe this is called "spores"

Which is a whole other rabbit hole...

[eternal talon]

If nam-v can infect flood supercells (since they are much larger and visible to the naked eye in the dense fog areas ala halo 2), it's jover.

Also it'd honestly be really close in terms of infectivity. Iirc, in both canons, neither could really be stopped via cure or such

It's just that whichever between the two is slightly better will end up curbstomping the other

It isn't a battle of guns and infection forms (unless you add the parasite into the mix), it's literally just petri dish warfare

[next scroll]

Neither does R8E2 (technically)

[next scroll]

Think it would be called a „regenerator” if it were to be a casual / special enemy

[gusty wagon]

....who?

actually, don't worry about it i still have to finish R1

these R2 sgenanigans are beyond my purview rn

ive got C tiers down but for some reason the B-tier PID search is kicking me and my friends' asses

[eternal talon]

... then why are you in the lore channel lol?

You couldn't go to a more spoiler-y place

[royal crow]

i can say R8E2 holds pretty good as an E tier

at least the first half of the level

R8E1 is just a C tier in disguise

[royal crow]

our best friend in the complex

:)

thats all you have to know

you are still very far from him

[plush nest]

Exactly

[plush nest]

Haven’t even attempted e2 yet but i shall see

[next scroll]

i mean i would personally think that since R8 is the finale, they would throw everything to make it as memorable and difficult as it could be

[loud urchin]

that's where act 2 of r8 comes in

[next scroll]

but instead they just did a „this is only in the last rundown (R8E2) and still it felt mid

[loud urchin]

act 1 is the appetiser that's there so everyone can get a ending

then you get the rest which is the ending I guess

I don't particularly care for it though

[next scroll]

It’s the lore expedition sure but i would think that R6D1 (ALT) is more fun than the last E tier expeditions in R8

I know that it has in the name of the rundown (Duality) so i would expect that there would be an obvious meaning in it

i just think that the last E tier missions could’ve gone up a notch, especially E1

[eternal talon]

I think an e tier that was impossible to complete would be really funny

(Not in the gameplay sense of refusing to spawn a key for a door needed to progress, but just impossible odds with near zero resources)

[next scroll]

(something I talked with my colleagues and friends the other day that have played this game since OG R1)

[plush nest]

Would really drive the whole “there is no winning” theme

[plush nest]

In one of the r8 levels it mentions open bulkheads but we don’t see any? So what was the point in mentioning open bulkheads?

[eternal talon]

i dont remember that, but assume it meant sec doors

[plush nest]

Like secondary doors?

[royal crow]

secondary or overload

[plush nest]

None are open I think it was in b1 or 2

[final sentinel]

it’s about opening bulkheads for the reactor. Not bulkhead doors

Iirc

[plush nest]

Ah

[final sentinel]

Could be wrong, but I remember hearing that

[coral gorge]

yeah its anti-radiation bulkheads

it was supposed to fool the warden into thinking the reactor meltdown was just a drill

and probably to also increase the range of the meltdown

[royal crow]

[coral gorge]

[royal crow]

[coral gorge]

okay lets stop now

no

[brazen willow]

Heya. Im doing a quizshow and wanted to do a lore segment aswell

Anyone got some potentially interesting (and some rly difficult) questions (and answers)?

[royal crow]

uuuuh

you mean difficult in like theory or to understand? or difficult like plot holes?

[brazen willow]

difficult to answer (as in less likely for people to know)

[coral gorge]

Maybe what happened to Europe after nam-v got out?

there is only one log explaining it pretty well

or what happened to the WHO mission that entered garganta

[royal crow]

You can talk about Schaeffer team i guess

before all the main events of the game

[royal crow]

also hey qubert

:3

did your house get nuked yesterday?

[royal crow]

you can also talk about Mr truth and his fate

[coral gorge]

maybe

[eternal talon]

really difficult you say....

[coral gorge]

frosty is cooking

[royal crow]

she has been typing for 10 mins now

[coral gorge]

yup

we are about to see a question about quantum physics or smth

[eternal talon]

1. What is the name of the subspecies of Parasitidae Garganta that create "Scouts" A: Gallus Capreolatus (7GY-HYP-SDW)
2. What was the name of the scientist that worked with Hammerstein to analyze the first artifact collected from the fossil? A: Richtofer (DSA-61M-MGB)
3. Where did the NAM-V virus first make landfall after escaping Garganta via ocean currents? A: Maricopa/Florida (MSR-4V3-N24)
4. What is the name of the hyper-advanced species of aliens that created the fossil, inner, and inadvertently exposed the parasite and virus to earth? A: The Collectors (MQQ-792-B8L)
5. In rough terms, what is the total length of the fossil, from apex to nadir? A: 2,215m (+ or - 372m) (WKRP-817-CIN)

[eternal talon]

they wanted a segment i gave them a segment

[brazen willow]

holy shit

[eternal talon]

and logs to quote with answers

[royal crow]

OKAY OKAY

[coral gorge]

damn

[eternal talon]

NO FULL AUTO IN THE BUILDING

[coral gorge]

i knew answers to like 3

[brazen willow]

ill note those down
for now i only used lore questions for easy stuff >:D but i gotta remember for later

[royal crow]

we need more Gallus Jaculus

[coral gorge]

easy lore questions in this game... hmmmmmmmmmm...

lol

[royal crow]

easy?

[coral gorge]

true

[eternal talon]

TO BE FAIR -- YOU SAID "RLY DIFFICULT"

[brazen willow]

weeeeeell

[eternal talon]

so i went straight to the corners of obscure lore

[brazen willow]

ye easy is stuff like where can you find henrikssons id badge

[mortal pivot]

Next time just DM those to Darkeva

[royal crow]

R8E3

[mortal pivot]

Otherwise someone could easily cheat

[royal crow]

🔥

[brazen willow]

ye

[royal crow]

@coral gorge NOTE IT DOWN

[brazen willow]

ill add stuff whenever for future sessions

[mortal pivot]

On Eric Chapman's bed

[brazen willow]

i got 3 rdy for tmrw

[coral gorge]

lol

[honest summit]

What names were on Shaeffers Board beside Henrikson and Maddox (Shaeffers bucket room in R6CX). I Bet noone remembers them

[mortal pivot]

Samuel L. Jackson

[eternal talon]

does having images of practically everything in the game saved on my hard drive count as cheating?

[mortal pivot]

Well if you help Darkeva make the questions you shouldn't partecipate

[eternal talon]

fair enough, i didnt plan to anyway

[mortal pivot]

No hate, it's just like it is

[eternal talon]

just memeing

[mortal pivot]

I assume there will also be something like a 10 sec timer on each question, making cheating a bit hard

[honest summit]

Tbh some1 might actually Not remember that Maddox is crossed out on this one

[eternal talon]

it isnt.

this is ogr6 from launch of ex

they patched it within a week

i just have literally everything

[honest summit]

An lol

[coral gorge]

actually, is this board also in ALT R6CX?

id assume no

[honest summit]

It is

[eternal talon]

no, iirc the tile itself had it fixed to un-cross maddox

unless they duped the tile for that one element

[coral gorge]

huh

weird?

[honest summit]

Last Time i checked it was there. Why would Alt Shaeffer need it? Idfk

[eternal talon]

do you want easier questions?

[brazen willow]

can always work with them in the future

[royal crow]

how many people do schaeffer kills with his metal pipe?

[brazen willow]

stuff for tmrw is just set up already

[royal crow]

[coral gorge]

isnt it just 2? if you count the unit as a person

[eternal talon]

we dont know, technically he could be stealth killing sleepers with it to get around. when do we get THAT as a sledge skin

[coral gorge]

lol

no

thats a bat skin

[eternal talon]

just two confirmed iirc, og maddox and alt// henri

[coral gorge]

change my mind

[coral gorge]

doesnt madox get choked/foamed?

oh wait

[eternal talon]

would probably be

[coral gorge]

ALT scheaffer too

[eternal talon]

yeah mb

meant the unit

[coral gorge]

ah

[eternal talon]

in r6cx

/ dx

[coral gorge]

yeah

doesnt alt scheaffer also get beaten with a pipe?

[eternal talon]

also in both cases, he left the pipe behind, so he's got a stash of lead pipes somewhere

[honest summit]

I think He Just gave him a hug

[coral gorge]

also what do you mean "alt henrikson"

[eternal talon]

MY BRAIN ISNT WORKING TODAY

[coral gorge]

lol

[eternal talon]

henri, in r8

which isnt even //alt

oh my god

[coral gorge]

yeah

actually

have we got a name for R8s wordline?

that isnt "R8 wordline"

[eternal talon]

"the clusterfuck worldline"

[coral gorge]

lol

i suggested "omega wordline" a while ago

[honest summit]

Everywhere at the end of nowhere

[coral gorge]

spaghett wordline

[royal crow]

R8 is cubix's basement

trust

[eternal talon]

given the presence of destination terrain on earth in r8, does that mean literal galexies are smashing together?

what are the implications of this

[coral gorge]

seems like it

[royal crow]

maybe just the places we used the MWP to travel to?

[eternal talon]

when desti in its own worldline was 3k light years away in the butterfly neb

[coral gorge]

i mean

do geographical locations matter for the MWP?

[royal crow]

no

nothing matters

everything is fucked

[honest summit]

So in total, we have at least 4 confirmed wordlines merging? OG, Alt, Nightmare and florida

[coral gorge]

yeah then really, it doesnt matter wether destination is 10000000 kilometers away or 1 meter away

[royal crow]

more than 4 confirmed

[eternal talon]

dont forget the quad corpses

[coral gorge]

destination, and atleast 3 others

[eternal talon]

+3

min

[royal crow]

since you can see multiple dead bodies

[eternal talon]

3-4 for corpses, og, alt, desti, nightmare wl

[honest summit]

We do See Dead bodies in previous rundowns aswell tho

[royal crow]

R6

[coral gorge]

you could also make a point about bishops mask

[royal crow]

what does it mean? who knows

[coral gorge]

and thats another worldine

and whoever is making morse code in ALT R1D1

[royal crow]

scafer?

[honest summit]

Shaeffer i think. At least thats what the achivement says

[eternal talon]

SCALER X SCHAEFFER LMAO

[coral gorge]

i mean yeah but wtf is he doing there in R1?

[coral gorge]

lmao

[royal crow]

@hardy scaffold

[coral gorge]

cant wait for the final lore video where scaler reveals he is actually scheaffer

wait

didnt i say this before in scalers discord too?

what if its true

[honest summit]

He was trying to remove the Chip via banging His head with a Metal pipe

[coral gorge]

...

ah yes

i too love banging my-...wait no. I too love hitting myself with a pipe in such a way it makes morse code

[royal crow]

you too?

pablo is reffering to a very "funny" accident that may have doomed one of our R7E1 runs

[royal crow]

he didnt shot me

he misscliked and alerted 2 scouts

[coral gorge]

for future i wont be holding a hel revo in a scout room

[coral gorge]

and you alerted a mom!

[royal crow]

shit happens

[honest summit]

[royal crow]

wdym

that never happened

there wasnt a mom

[coral gorge]

there was

[eternal talon]

where this guy hidin' the past 5 years?

[coral gorge]

he is the c r e a t u r e that was making morse code in ALT R1D1

im basing this on absolutely 0 evidence so it must be correct

=)

[eternal talon]

i think i did a good job with this. fits the style of gtfo's companies

[coral gorge]

isnt dreyfus' loggo in game?

or was that a diffrent logo

on reactors and such

[eternal talon]

reactors are made by a diff company. lots of minor ones, like nyxos

[coral gorge]

ah

that saying i would really expect dreyfus logo to be ingame

[eternal talon]

here is a dreyfus one in-game

[coral gorge]

they are the big boss after all

[gusty iron]

Is DoW going to be tied to GTFO in any manner, or completely separate?

in before the heisters are the GTFO prisoners in a different M

[vestal haven]

it would actually be so cool to go into the minds of the 4 prisoners

but I doubt that’ll happen

[burnt wren]

While there is a possibility of former - it probably will be the latter.

At best we'll get a reference like that one L4D mission in PayDay

[gusty iron]

Fair enough, and that would be cool. Loved the No Mercy Hospital in PTH

[gusty wagon]

bc i read all the logs like twice over and this game's lore is in my head and paying rent

through happy neurotransmitters and etc

i got that dog autism parasite in me

[eternal talon]

Have you read the "for dummies" document in the pins?

It might cover some of that rent with understanding

[gusty wagon]

i read it a long time ago but its def changed i imagine

[eternal talon]

Unless it's hype of a train that already visited its last station

[eternal talon]

The aliens are no-longer unnamed allens, for instance

Though despite eveything, still no official name for Destination, surprisingly

Inb4 devs retroactively make that always have been the "official" name

[gilded trench]

Fellas

I've got few questions on this whole thingammabobbin lore I would like to be answered to I don't have an aneurysm solving this

Any input is greatly appreciated

1. How does Warden get created and how does it infiltrate Biocom?
2. Why do we see dead bodies of ourselves in Rundown 8?

[coral gorge]

for point 2:
In R8 several wordlines merge together, resulting in many squads getting thrown together (such as ALT and OG), but also others, which either die mid warp or get fucked shortly after

as for point 1:
We dont really know. We know the warden is of alien origin or just a straightup alien… but thats it. It gets into biocom possibly through destination and its crystals merging with the cables but we cant be sure

[gilded trench]

Cool, that clears up that part up
thanks

[gilded trench]

How does it get through Destination with the crystals?

[eternal talon]

as far as i am aware, we aren't sure how it got into biocom's servers, either, just that it did. we dont even know when, just a range when it had to have happened

i think what cubix is talking about are these, but even so, we have no indication that they are in any way related to biocom

[plush nest]

There is a log mentioning something about rocks and how they are interacting with the cables

I could just be crazy though

[eternal talon]

as for r8 and the bodies, it is as cubix said. dozens (at least) of worldlines merging together due to the continued misuse of the MWP by our team and others. it started relatively minor, with Insight scientists and such dissapearing during the early years, and obviously coming to a head in r8 with even destination (despite being 3k light years away relative to its own worldline), merging and appearing on earth in the complex via the sand and kraken encounter in e2

[eternal talon]

maybe. i don't recall.

[gilded trench]

Well thank you nonetheless for the input

[gilded trench]

Was it R7 E1 that was the final straw before each timelime completely merged with what we see in Rundown 8 or is it somethin else

[eternal talon]

in my opinion, it was a process, as the first few levels of r8 already had infinitely more shenanigans than previous rundowns where most/all was just in logs from long ago

so im not sure of any set point in r8, but if i had to say, i'd probably give it to the bulkhead controller in (i forget the level #), where destination sand appeared

[royal crow]

R8B2

that interesting enough

we make a small warp on that same place to a worldline where the bulkhead controller isnt destroyed?

[gilded trench]

Alright, thanks for the answers

[coral gorge]

Honestly id say the big merge happens in R8A1/A2 with the big „earthquake” that we hear

[coral gorge]

Yeah there is a log about the crystals merging with cables

i dont remember where

but there defo was one

[limpid kraken]

Hey, quick question.
What are Snatcher's purpose besides grabbing players and only appearing in couple rundown? What is their role in it?? Is it grabbing corpses and deposing them somewhere?

[coral gorge]

probably just hunting and separating people making them easier to kill

nothing too fancy

[eternal talon]

The only thing really interesting about them imo is how little they are mutated compared to the other sleeper variants.

(Don't get me wrong, having a hollowed out chest and tentacles galore is Hella fucked, but the fact their heads are entirely intact is even more fucked when you consider the implications)

[next panther]

I guess its mutation all went to its chest instead of its head

[limpid kraken]

The question is. What happend to Maddox body.

[eternal talon]

Snatcher slurped him up and ran away

R7b1 you hear schaeffer talking about it as you cross the bridge at the very end of the level

[eternal talon]

-> sleepers aren't zombies
-> snatchers don't have mutated heads
-> brain is left intact
-> host is alive and semi-conscious as parasite puppets their body

[burnt wren]

Either eaten or turned into a sleeper. Snatcher out to have a purpose as to why he does what he does.

[plush nest]

That is a horrifying thought

[eternal talon]

Like pvt jenkins from halo the flood

Terrifying but good read.

[queen gazelle]

How many matter wave projectors in each world line are there

[royal crow]

i guess theres originally 1

and then more get added if someone does funny MWP shenanigans

and brings another one to the worldline

[queen gazelle]

So in r7 was the world line collapse happening already

like what cause the world lines to collapse

Was it us just touching the mwp

[royal crow]

we dont really know

it could be on purpose
it could be an accident

too much MWP uses

by multiple worldlines i guess

[queen gazelle]

What is too many here

because if there is infinite world lines

[royal crow]

as far as we know like 12 + worldlines merged into eachother, making Rundown 8

[queen gazelle]

Sure idc

what cause the merge

[royal crow]

we dont know

[queen gazelle]

This is such a cool story

[past matrix]

we know there was one in r7e1

that was likely caused because of the power-shortages

but the other ones we have no clue

[peak jay]

I always felt like we somehow messed up and managed to grab the mwp from 2 places at once (Bishop's fault) and just end up bringing the entire universe with us

Like in the not-leg room and the leg room in R8A1

[coral gorge]

the what room

[peak jay]

The room it teleports you to with has a bunch of blood and corpses strewn about, but in the middle there's just a single leg

Was the only thing that kept me sane when I was grinding for the inner achievement

ah

[peak jay]

I got a question for ya

Why tf does the warden send us on "survive warden protocol" missions

Just to randomly throw us in there like "have fun!"

[coral gorge]

We serve as a distraction

some other team is doing a mission and we are to distract the sleepers from them

[next scroll]

Damn. we are so good that even as being the cattle we still complete our task

[long glacier]

I feel like this is a stupid question, but why doesn't the warden just make multiple teams meet up

I think it has to do with the structuring of ksos in their GTFO lineup right?

[royal crow]

KSOs work better in squads of 4

thats why its always 4 or most of the time

[long glacier]

ah yea thats what I thought

damn

[royal crow]

also every KSOs have a designation like GO = GENESIS OPERATIVE (leaders)
i guess having 2 GO can mess up the way they act or work together

[lost drum]

Can we count on a Lore Update? Would add more audio logs that are played right in the levels (R6A1, B1, C1, AX, BX, CX). New logs in the levels so there would be motivation to go through them again.

[long glacier]

yea

but I just keep thinking, man the missions could just be more successful if we all just teamed

idk

[final sentinel]

yeah that’s less of a lore thing and more of a technical thing lol

[long glacier]

yea

[toxic wagon]

When you realize. GO's don't always lead the team.

Woods isn't the GO in the team.

Bishop is.

Forgot what Woods is. But it's the anomaly of sorts.

[coral gorge]

faulty

which are also said to be the leaders in some cases

which is interesting

[harsh pike]

makes sense, i'd definitely consider Woods the leader in the team

curious how he got designated faulty though

[coral gorge]

his log in R5A3 suggests he was returning to his „old habits” or smth like that

which is implied to be believing in god

[harsh pike]

woods doesn't seem to have lost a lot of his memory IMO

[coral gorge]

True

[harsh pike]

his log talks about 'other hims' too doesn't it?

[coral gorge]

Yup

the ALT R5A2 one

[harsh pike]

and some of his combat dialogue references his military training that he clearly still remembers

[coral gorge]

Plus in daudas A3 log he seems to outright disobey the stack

[toxic wagon]

He's still religious despite memory wipe iirc.

He had a voice line about it added with R8

Woods'll say like. "He walks beside us"

[coral gorge]

i mean in R8E1 he says "you'll rot in hell for this" and overall most his lines are religious in some way

[harsh pike]

KSO memory loss is kind of a wishy-washy concept tbh

its not consistent

[coral gorge]

well this chat is dying so how about o throw a random thingy i noticed about R8E1

the mission „completion” screen says „Resources expended” and im pretty sure only biocom called the KSOs resources

so can that mean warden fucks off/self terminates at the end?

[honest summit]

the explosion did happen in KDS deep tho

so i assume any lefover ressources just got blasted into smithereens

[coral gorge]

I mean i doubt biocom gets killed by the warp, like we only really affect a minor chunk of KDS

plus another thing is: right before the final waves that are meant to kill you start spawning there is a message „warden defenses disabled” so thats also interesting

[honest summit]

wasnt it Kovac defenses system tho?

i would rather interpretate it as a measurement or a lockdown to protect the KDS deep

[coral gorge]

I dont mean the timer

after you enter KDS and deal with the first wave of sleepers

a message pops up saying „warden defenses disabled”

[honest summit]

lemme do a quick run to see it for myself

[honest summit]

oh you mean the red warden pop up?

interesting enough it is called "Warden security systems"

Hol up

In D1 the 8AA-FEE-EDD log

conduit says "A clean membrane will be determined. humans will project, then destroy the projector. The collection will be complete"

so what hasppened to the OG team was exactly the plan of Warden.

[coral gorge]

yeah

[honest summit]

and since it was achieved, there were no point in further existemce of warden

[coral gorge]

except the warden planned to have ALT team warp out

but in the end it prolly didnt matter

[eternal talon]

the question is, were the alt team killed, or sleeperified?

[coral gorge]

Id say killed

why would they sleeperfy

if we can trust ALT scheaffer they were clean

[eternal talon]

because sleepers have never finished us off, ever, when a player is downed

even though we have always been a direct threat to the hive

[coral gorge]

I mean i would assume they do kill us if all 4 players die

and its just a game mechanic

[eternal talon]

so was dying and respawning in left for dead

[coral gorge]

plus „resources expended” implies they get murdered

[coral gorge]

wait really? Interesting

[coral gorge]

But also frosty what do you think about this

[eternal talon]

i dont know enough to say, but find it unlikely. the reactor going chernobyl would kill it anyway, no need to sudoku

[past matrix]

they originally had a system where you died

it's likely it wasnt changed for lore reasons but rather just because it would be annoying

[coral gorge]

I suppose so, but i guess why would it wait for that?

[coral gorge]

”fuck guys i died in the 1st room, time to reset”

[eternal talon]

in that situation yourself, would you rather die slowly from a poison or an instant death from an explosion?

[coral gorge]

I would sudoku

[eternal talon]

but its a pointless task trying to judge the morals of an entirely alien existance

they arent human

[coral gorge]

Or an Ai

[eternal talon]

same difference

[coral gorge]

”ITS A FAKE! AN AI”

[eternal talon]

the warden is far less a, than i, though

[coral gorge]

I guess

its weird

works like a computer program but is super intelligent

and also sucks at shutting down reactors

[eternal talon]

its a created being, yet it can think and command itself. a proper ai like bicom cannot, simply following its pre-coded instructions

[coral gorge]

yeah

[eternal talon]

but then again, that gets to the issue of applying human thought and conscious on an alien being

who may very well be entirely different

[coral gorge]

also i guess its possible in all the chaos biocom manages to delete the warden? But that seems kinda unlikely and far fetched

[eternal talon]

if it couldnt despite trying for half a decade (at the very least, up to 15 years-ish) , i dont see what would suddenly change now

[coral gorge]

True, maybe it actually likes kiwi on pizza

[coral gorge]

yeah i guess, although a nuclear meltdown is quite an unusual occurence probably

[eternal talon]

kill the host, the parasite dies. it wouldnt give biocom a chance alone. they both get ruined.

radioactivity and the effects that surround it would absolutely kill both the (BIOLOGICALcom) elements of it, and fry the technological components, even if it were not for the blast itself

[coral gorge]

Yeah thats for sure

i mean either way warden and biocom die

[eternal talon]

https://www.hbo.com/chernobyl god this is fucking amazing

[coral gorge]

wether warden dies at the very end of R8E1 or some time after wont make a diffrence

[eternal talon]

mhm.

same with our kso quad.

escape or not, the virus will see us dead in the end

the only difference is who we take with us

[coral gorge]

actually correct me if im wrong - scheaffer tells us to do the exact thing that caused chetnobyl to explode right?

[eternal talon]

what does schaeffer say?

[coral gorge]

since im pretty sure chernobyl gets fucked after they insert the control rods into the superheated core

and scheaffer has us heat up the reactor by cutting off coolant and then lower the control rods

[eternal talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDBkMIwb9Mk , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3azNLCo0wyU , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzbOgvWQhHA

the show itself provides an amazing explanation of exactly what happened

[coral gorge]

ah the good ol memories of using irl lore as refernce to GTFO lore

[eternal talon]

at chernobyl, not in gtfo

it wasnt an issue of removing the coolant.

[coral gorge]

Yeah no in chernobyl its not coolant

[eternal talon]

it was an issue with the (cost saving) graphite tips of the boron control rods making contact first

[coral gorge]

ah

[eternal talon]

during an already extremely stressed test

[coral gorge]

oh yeah graphite exploded

[eternal talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzfsfYnuc8c

[coral gorge]

Well its a bit similiar then isnt it?

heat + control rods = explosion

[eternal talon]

not in these types of reactors. RBMK reactors were designed in such a way that an explosion was nearly impossible

schaeffer, as you say, had us remove the coolant to increase heat and cause a meltdown

that is like fukushima territory if i remember correctly

not chernobyl

[coral gorge]

i have no idea what happened at fukushima rly so i cant expand on that

but also

[eternal talon]

tsunami and earthquake cut power

[coral gorge]

then why the fuck did scheaffer have us lower control rods

[eternal talon]

couldnt pump coolant because no power

[coral gorge]

thats all i know

[eternal talon]

reactor went bannanas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_nuclear_accident

The proximate cause of the accident was the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, which resulted in electrical grid failure and damaged nearly all of the power plant's backup energy sources. The subsequent inability to sufficiently cool reactors after shutdown compromised containment and resulted in the release of radioactive contaminants into the surrounding environment.

[coral gorge]

ah

yeah a fair bit similiar

except the control rods

[eternal talon]

your typical meltdown. not enough coolant

[coral gorge]

i guess its supposed to be a mix of both

wether thats actually possible to happen irl is a diffrent thing

[eternal talon]

wether what is possible irl?

[coral gorge]

That a mix of no coolant and lowering control rods would give the reactor a stroke

[eternal talon]

control rods power it. coolant cools it. 1 - 1 = 0

rods increase reactivity = more power generated

[coral gorge]

I mean yeah but

lowering control rods

should decreaas reactivity

[eternal talon]

dropping rods into the reactor without coolant would just cause a meltdown

not an explosion

the chernobyl explosion was the meltdown vaporizing the pressurized water into steam

no water, no steam, no boom

just melt through the floor

[coral gorge]

hm so its correct then? We drop control rods into a dry reactor and give it a stroke

[eternal talon]

i'm something of a https://ftbwiki.org/Big_Reactors expert myself.

[coral gorge]

Lol

[eternal talon]

yes, but it wouldnt expode kds deep or anything.

it would ultimately do very little so far underground

[coral gorge]

Yeah

[eternal talon]

the only parts of the facility that would even be in any danger would be those below it, where the core would melt through the ceiling

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant's_Foot_(Chernobyl)

[coral gorge]

Do you have any idea what the „containment vessel” mentioned at the start of R8E1 could be?

[eternal talon]

in what context?

of the reactor?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Containment_building

[coral gorge]

”warning containment vessel breached. A nuclear emergency is occuring”

[eternal talon]

thats what i linked above

[coral gorge]

Oh so its literally just that

[eternal talon]

its the lead housing that protects the powerplant from the radiation of an active core

it surrounds the entire thing

its literally the body of the reactor.

[coral gorge]

hm then wtf causes all of garganta to have a stroke

[eternal talon]

the devs not knowing how nuclear reactors work

[coral gorge]

i doubt its some sorta funky chain reaction where smth else explodes

[coral gorge]

i suppose

and they were doing so well too up until the actual meltdown

cause like theres no way the reactor would produce enough gas and stuff do explode like that

[eternal talon]

Light water graphite reactors
Light water graphite reactors were built only in the USSR. RBMK designs used secondary containment-like structures, but the reactor's top plate was a part of the protective structure. During the Chernobyl accident in 1986 the plate suffered a pressure beyond the predicted limits and lifted up.

CANDU plants
CANDU power stations, named after Canadian-invented Deuterium-Uranium design, make use of a wider variety of containment designs and suppression systems than other plant designs. Due to the nature of the core design, the size of containment for the same power rating is often larger than for a typical PWR, but many innovations have reduced this requirement. Many multiunit CANDU stations utilize a water spray equipped vacuum building. All individual CANDU units on site are connected to this vacuum building by a large pressure relief duct which is also part of containment. The vacuum building rapidly draws in and condenses any steam from a postulated break, allowing the reactor building pressure to return to subatmospheric conditions. This minimizes any possible fission product release to the environment.[9]

Boiling water reactors
In a BWR, the containment strategy is a bit different. A BWR's containment consists of a drywell, where the reactor and associated cooling equipment is located, and a wetwell. The drywell is much smaller than a PWR containment and plays a larger role. During the theoretical leakage design basis accident the reactor coolant flashes to steam in the drywell, pressurizing it rapidly. Vent pipes or tubes from the drywell direct the steam below the water level maintained in the wetwell (also known as a torus or suppression pool), condensing the steam, limiting the pressure ultimately reached. Both the drywell and the wetwell are enclosed by a secondary containment building, maintained at a slight sub-atmospheric or negative pressure during normal operation and refueling operations.

.
Pressurized water reactors
For a pressurized water reactor, the containment also encloses the steam generators and the pressurizer, and is the entire reactor building. The missile shield around it is typically a tall cylindrical or domed building. PWR containments are typically large (up to 7 times larger than a BWR) because the containment strategy during the leakage design basis accident entails providing adequate volume for the steam/air mixture that results from a loss-of-coolant-accident to expand into, limiting the ultimate pressure (driving force for leakage) reached in the containment building.

[coral gorge]

i mean i guess its possible garganta is fine after all... but that wouldnt make much sense. You dont have a fucking alarm for the entire facility cause a single sector is having a mild stroke. Plus scheaffer wanted to burn the place down not tickle it

[eternal talon]

to "burn it down" he would need waaaaay more than one reactor. ignoring the fact the entire facility is underground, it stretches over an entire city in width

i mean just look how fucking huge garganta is

[coral gorge]

yeah, like i would understand if garganta had one big reactor that powered 99% of it, but one thats shit design and two thats not the case here

[eternal talon]

garganta easily has a hundred or more

because its not just wide, it goes thousands of meters deep too

[eternal talon]

God damnit now I wanna start a playthrough of my minecraft modpack with big reactors 😠

[coral gorge]

lmao

garganta recreated in minecraft when

[royal crow]

now thats something i would like to do

IF I HAD MINECRAFT

[coral gorge]

Skill issue

||i also dont own minecraft||

[burnt wren]

Not on steam = game does not exist

[coral gorge]

True

[warped bloom]

False

[honest summit]

Isnt Garganta built on a massive radioaktive Material Mine? I am Not a physic Scientist, so i dunno If it would be enough to start the Chain Reaktion (idfk it Could also fissle Out since its Not enriched)

Although after a quick Google Iridium by itself is Not used in nuclear weapons

[coral gorge]

Nope, they were mining for iridium but i dont think thats radioactivr enough + as we said above, even if the explosion was to occur it wouldnt be nearly large enough to cause a lot of damage

[honest summit]

The Explosion itself would be indeed Insuffitient. But If its big enough it Could provoke some seismik activities collapsing the entire complex

After all in the ingame universe that Location was already a subject to a massive earthquake that was able to resurface the nam-v Virus hundrets of Meters Beneath the soil

[next panther]

Is R7E1 the deepest level in the game?

[solar nova]

Believe so.

[lilac island]

it is

which is a bit dissapointing

like yeah, not letting us see the deepest darkest most disgusting depths of the complex is an obvious choice since imagination is more terrifying than anything they could make

but it also left alot of potential down there

the facility goes way deeper than 1400 meters

[long glacier]

I feel like the devs shldve added something for when u get to deeper levels

u feel the heat

idk

[honest summit]

I find it kinda funny how lower Levels in R8 actually ascend instead of going deeper

[lilac island]

yeah i don't like that

Although R8's difficulty increase comes from the passing of time and not the depth

like later levels are harder not cause you're deeper but because the complex is falling apart more and more

i wish i was good enough to enjoy levels like e2

[loud urchin]

eh the level isn't all that enjoyable probably, long alarms are boring, enemy spawn is boring, scattergun is boring, cfoam is boring

[lilac island]

i feel incomplete because i'm unable to reliably complete many difficult levels

what can i tell you

how can a player be happy unless they conquer every mountain no matter how deadly or unhealthy the climb

[eternal talon]

You become the sage that every new adventurer seeks for wisdom instead.

In other news, I bought the official hardhat from the merch store today

[long glacier]

gtfo gameplay so bland

[eternal talon]

Red light green light between -- STAND IN SCAN AND SHOOT -- segments. It is very simple at its core

By the time you've done all expeditions though I'd expect you to be bored as hell of it

It's why the different levels are so memorable, but even then they aren't that different

[fringe crypt]

There's a merch store ?

[eternal talon]

Like r6c3, it's just run and shoot the entire time

[eternal talon]

Yes

[fringe crypt]

Hol on I gotta do some investigating

[eternal talon]

They sell baby striker plushies

[fringe crypt]

WHAT

Funny you mention

[eternal talon]

They used to sell gtfo branded diapers

[fringe crypt]

I just got my salary

[eternal talon]

They sell all kinds of stuff

[fringe crypt]

I love this game

[eternal talon]

You can still see them in the promo images for the hardhat

[fringe crypt]

I see it

I was just about to mention it

what the fuck

but at the same time

it's beautiful

[eternal talon]

"Wash together or dry together" the tags say

On most clothes

[fringe crypt]

No fucking way

that's cool

[eternal talon]

Lots of little nods.

[fringe crypt]

YOU CAN BUY AN ICE BOX ???

[eternal talon]

I don't know if it's still available. Maybe

[cunning light]

I think they are all sold out

[eternal talon]

It's based on an in-game locker

[fringe crypt]

I know

it's so stupid I love it

[eternal talon]

They have glowsticks

(Only og worldline green)

[cunning light]

I have one ; it is of decent quality, but their clothes are better

[final sentinel]

hideo kojima has one

iirc

[eternal talon]

And paintings that were a super insanely expensive promotional thing that nobody bought

[fringe crypt]

of course he does

[eternal talon]

I remember they made a ton that they had devs sign

[fringe crypt]

that one doesn't surprise me

it's cool as hell but a little expensive

I mean , 35 bucks for a pair of slippers ?

[eternal talon]

What was the original price of those paintings btw? $700?

I don't remember

The signed ones

[fringe crypt]

Dunno

currently they all go for 420

[eternal talon]

that nobody bought
- and will never buy

[final sentinel]

420

it was 420 from the start

[eternal talon]

That's ridiculous, really

[fringe crypt]

I'd do it for shits and giggles if I made more

[final sentinel]

I remember because calle said it'd be a funny number, and I thought he meant 69 compared to the normal 30ish

not 420

[eternal talon]

69,420

One of one

The baby striker plush they sell is weird. It's the blood door variant of one, but it doesn't actually exist in-game

[final sentinel]

yeah it's also been sold out for ages

oh no LOL

[eternal talon]

I bought mine they day they dropped

[final sentinel]

the normal posters are 15$

[cunning light]

They are pretty good

[fringe crypt]

it looks weird too

[eternal talon]

$405 for a signature!?

[final sentinel]

yeah I'd get one of those, really wish they made the background art for R4 a poster tho

[cunning light]

The paper is of a much higher quality on the limited ones, I believe

[final sentinel]

it's like a really high quality painting instead i think, idk

yeah what cho said

[fringe crypt]

Still , come on

400 ?

[cunning light]

I do agree the step up is probably too high, but what do I know of artworks ?

[final sentinel]

my biggest complaint is that they never made a normal poster for the diamond crew one

I want that poster

[eternal talon]

The helmet itself is probably just a generic $10 or $20 one, painted with the logo, and resold for $60, but I don't really care.

[final sentinel]

but there's only the 420 version

[fringe crypt]

Yeah it looks cool

[final sentinel]

man if only they made the LRF as merch

[fringe crypt]

Even if it came framed with glass , I'd say anything over 150 is too much

[final sentinel]

I'd buy that

[eternal talon]

If they sold a hack tool phone case

[fringe crypt]

stop

[final sentinel]

oh yeah, my complaint with the actual clothing is that I don't want to walk around with clothes that say GTFO

I want like, SMC sweaters

[fringe crypt]

That's actually a good idea

[cunning light]

You could probably 3D print one. I know some french dude printed a very nice Revolver, for instance

[final sentinel]

or kovac hat

i don't want to wear stuff that says GTFO lol, because most people won't get it and will think it stands for get the fuck out

[cunning light]

Honestly I wear the hoodies on a daily basis because they are just good hoodies

[final sentinel]

mmmm

[fringe crypt]

I've seen someone make a custom mouse pad of the scattergun for their friend

That looked very cool too

[final sentinel]

but like, why can't we get an SMC jackewt

[eternal talon]

instead it stands for Genesis, Tau, Faulty, and I forget the last one

The kso degs

[final sentinel]

I'd love an official SMC jacket

GO

[eternal talon]

They have it in promo pictures

Sold out years ago

[final sentinel]

bRIh

[eternal talon]

Never made more

Again, in the hardhat promo pictures

[fringe crypt]

Send them an email to make you one

[cunning light]

Probably only made a few dozens for promotion purposes

Sadge

[fringe crypt]

and you'd pay double

They might just accept

[eternal talon]

Gtfo is over now, so idk.

It's going to slowly fade

[coral gorge]

sigma

[eternal talon]

Ah yes, GTFS

Stands for gtfo apparently

[coral gorge]

Sigma is actially O i think?

or T

[eternal talon]

T is tau

Hackett iirc

[coral gorge]

Hackett is the sigma

and is the best

as always

[eternal talon]

I thought dauda was o?

[coral gorge]

GO is genesis (bishop)

F is faulty (woods)

T is tau (dauda)

[eternal talon]

It's in the for dummies doc, I just can't check on my phone

[coral gorge]

? Is sigma (hackett)

[eternal talon]

GOFT?

[coral gorge]

yeah its weird

[eternal talon]

Lmao

[coral gorge]

since gensis is GO and not just G

[eternal talon]

Genesis operative, despite the fact they are ALL Kovac Security OPERATIVES

[coral gorge]

also i think sigma is O

?

[eternal talon]

Bishop is just a genesis operative operative

[coral gorge]

if the prisoner id matches the letter of the class

sigma is O

so the games actual title is

GOTFO

or

[eternal talon]

In order?

[coral gorge]

wait no if it would be in order

then its

FTOGO

[eternal talon]

Bishop, dauda, Hackett, woods

Iirc

[coral gorge]

yeah ftogo

[eternal talon]

Or swap woods and bishop

I forget which is which

Either way, NONE OF THEM are gtfo

[coral gorge]

well frosty you gotta become #ftogo-lore now

[coral gorge]

woods is host, bishop is the 4th guy

[coral gorge]

yeah how did they manage to fuck it up

like fuck the order even

just make genesis „G”

[eternal talon]

There

[coral gorge]

and thats all you need to have it make any sense

[coral gorge]

lmao

[eternal talon]

Now it sounds like a stroke

[coral gorge]

After all these years we finally found the true gtfo

[eternal talon]

Why did 10cc do it this way

[coral gorge]

FTOGO

[eternal talon]

It was so easy to just assign a single letter each

[coral gorge]

yeah

[eternal talon]

But not only are none of them in order, but there are FIVE LETTERS

[coral gorge]

Tbh screw the order even, just have the letters make any sense

and not have too many letters

[eternal talon]

S = O, and GO

[royal crow]

daily lore message

did you know

||schaeffer is schaeffer||

[raw terrace]

omg

[ember badger]

[toxic wagon]

Did you know. No one calls themselves a Hacker but an Engineer

~~ Klas is a definitely a Engi Main ~~

[eternal talon]

this just sounds like the gameplay loop of gtfo -- again

perhaps a future red flag?

how the fuck is a guns-blazing heist supposed to go back to quiet?

i am very cautiously optimistic about DoW, but might move lore operations there if it turns out good.

been burned real bad by Dragons Dogma II recently. DD:DA was one of my all time favorite games, and the sequel butchered it.

[vestal haven]

let them cook

[raw terrace]

tbh just as gtfo goes from gun blazing back to quiet, its one of the better aspects of gtfo

how it can be stealth full and then turn into ferocious combat

they playing by their strenghts, i like it, they know what gtfo did right very very well and choose to go for it again but bigger better

[sudden quarry]

lets keep things gtfo lore related guys!

[coral gorge]

No.

[eternal talon]

We are getting single topics
per day at this point. If it is strictly lore exclusive like it used to be, this will just be a dead channel lol

Now I'm not saying memes should be a thing again, but generic commentary amongst the lore community here is a decent enough way to keep the channel alive

If someone comes along and sees the last message in this channel was six weeks ago, they aren't very likely to ask any questions they wanted to

[peak jay]

Aight I got a question

What are the lore implications of this image

[burnt wren]

10c modeler was given tight deadline and thrown out the model as quickly as he could without polish.
Alternatively: mutations do be mutating.

[eternal talon]

Clubbed feet, like their hands.

Part of the sleeperization process, me thinks

This fella just died to NAM-V (or anything else for that matter) before a parasite got to him to take control of its new flesh suit

[solar nova]

Because it's good?

[raw terrace]

do u really think a pair of feet deserve extreme polish

really

[burnt wren]

Yes.
If it makes you feel weird - put some boots on it.
Everything deserves polish, that's not how great games are made.

[raw terrace]

do you genuinely think the grass on elder ring along with the 7th rock along the path having extremely polish it's the reason why it won goty or something

not even cause it's feet but just cause it doesn't matter at all if it's a lil poligonal

hell even with the texture u don't notice it

unless u, stop, look and center on it

[eternal talon]

Have you ever gone way outside the map in a game and saw vastly different quality textures? Some like 64 pixels, some 1080?

If that 7th rock is bad, the player WILL notice it

It will stand out

Same reason why the r4 tank room Subjects look so god aweful

[burnt wren]

It helps. It shows genuine care for the project.

[eternal talon]

Basically 12 polygons per corpse

[burnt wren]

No one ever points at over-cooked model and laughs at it for being too good.

[eternal talon]

Then compare that to r6cx/dx' Subject corpse. Incredible difference

[burnt wren]

People do laugh at high-poly feet of FromSoft games, but for completely unrelated reasons...

[eternal talon]

I personally don't understand people who mod games for 4k textures. It's not the quality of them as a whole that matters, it's fixing those odd ones out that makes it beautiful

[burnt wren]

That's true. Its not about high polygons, just about visual coherency.

If your whole game is 4k - why ain't that one corpse.

If you can't make it work - then downgrade to something else. Stylized games do great.

[raw terrace]

stylized and optimization are way different things
on all games that- think and are logical and aren't garden of bambam, u will see tons of low poly shit, flat textures, things that are on plain sight but they don't have 1080 graphics, why? cause there's absolutely no need to make one screw photorealistic, it just consumes so much more resources for no real reason apart from not looking bad if ur eyes go 2 pixels from it

this is universal in all games where things that are on the background or on second plane don't matter, why do u think sights, gun models, doors, walls and floors are so high textured but things like corpses, some logos on tanks, water etc etc isn't as high poly? cause there's just no need as u see em quick, they look good at first glance and u continue

same for enemies, they are so high detailed cause u see em constantly

[eternal talon]

Buddy, this isn't a tiny screw here. You could do a literal single-color dome and it would work. This is a corpse model designed to draw attention and be setdressing

[burnt wren]

I don't even want to engage with that really, i feel like we're talking about completely different things

[raw terrace]

not really cause if this is a1 teleport MWP zone, ur there 10 seconds kdmsk u glance at all the corpses

some people don't even notice the door is gone

they won't notice a low poly foot

[burnt wren]

To hell with polygons

Why does it look like a pancake

[raw terrace]

fuck polygons

[burnt wren]

The shape itself is unnatural

The texture is not a problem at all

You can have a lowpoly shitty ass foot, that's fine

But you can make it better than this

[raw terrace]

ah that's probs the shape is body horror but low poly

everything on this games body horror

except for like r4d2 corpses

[burnt wren]

Well, they did a bad job.

That foot's fucking hilarious.

[raw terrace]

eh well as if people didn't laugh of the shooters too kdmskd

that's just taste i guess

if u- like a foot or not

which is weird to even comment on

[burnt wren]

If this was up to me i'd definetely give him some worker boots.

There's a hidden conversation there about where are they now

Because they are not nearby, i don't see shreds of rubber around or anything

What, parasite ate them?

[raw terrace]

sure

[burnt wren]

The half-assery of some things in this game just drives me mad sometimes.

[raw terrace]

if we are so far up the gtfo ass that we are talkin of why some dude boots are missing in an alternate dimension where a massacre has happened

sure

that dimension has a door-boots eating virus kdmskd

that's just my headcanon now

[burnt wren]

We'll add it to the pile. Its a big one.

[raw terrace]

yeah like where someone's screwdriver was as he's near a door or why are there zone signs made by santonian and some by techno companies

[burnt wren]

No toilets... No kitchens... Not a single resting room of any kind... Not even one rotting hamburger left on a table somewhere or anything... I don't think i've seen a single bottle of water.

[raw terrace]

well there's water on the ground

more proof it's amazon

they drink from the floodways

[peak jay]

Absolutely, more so than any part of the game

[plush nest]

only work no break time

food will be given out based on performance one per month

[prime horizon]

Guys I am new to the lore community of GTFO, I tried found more information about mission "Day light", but found just couple lines of text and text from Methew Eron. Did community found more info about them ?

[loud urchin]

which mission now? there's not a level in the game named Daylight

[raw terrace]

whos methew?

The daylight expedition squad

AFAIK their logs ended after alt R5

RIP Matt Aaron

[royal crow]

he pretty much meant the Daylight team

[royal crow]

also im pretty sure theres a log about them on R8

they simply get shot

lol

[prime horizon]

sorry I am translating from other language, but yeah Daylight team

[prime horizon]

so they didn't went deep enough to found zero patient ?

[royal crow]

zero patient?

patient zero is long gone by now
its the person that got out from garganta and spread the virus

[prime horizon]

so why daylight was sent?

[royal crow]

to find information about patient zero

then got killed by our squad

[prime horizon]

bruh, do we have rundown that shows that ?

or it is based of logs ?

[royal crow]

no

logs

[prime horizon]

okay interesting

so what is the latest update on lore ?

my knowledge is a bit old

[royal crow]

hmmmmmm

if you mean R8 lore

then

yeah its a bit long to explain in detail

[prime horizon]

yes my lore is ended at rundown 7

where I can find info about 8 ?

[royal crow]

wiki

or just playing

pretty much everything is explained in the rundown

"explained"

[prime horizon]

eh, I just would like to read about, to not miss something

[royal crow]

i recommend first to play R8

then read all the logs or related stuff

but the main plot is: multiple worldlines merge into each other making rundown 8 its "own" worldline
in here we take control of 2 teams, OG team and ALT team
ALT team works with ALT scaheffer and ALT warden (they try to find a clean dimension to escape to)
OG team is with OG schaeffer (they try to "destroy" Garganta, but OG team breaks out of their control chip and start acting on their own, helping ALT team in the process)

[prime horizon]

cool, is it an end of lore in general ?

of can possible see something new ?

[royal crow]

its the end

the developers dont have any plans on GTFO as far as we know

[prime horizon]

sad

and how I know we won't see GTFO 2, or shit like that

[royal crow]

we dont know if there will be GTFO 2

but seeing how GTFO was their first project and can be consider succesful
its most likely in the far future they will do something with the franchise

[prime horizon]

I hope so, GTFO one of the game in my list of favorite games

[royal crow]

and by far future i really mean far

[prime horizon]

yeah no, it dosen't matter how far

if it will realized i will play it

[humble cairn]

is there a general rundown of the story in R8 i'm a bit confused

[royal crow]

there should be some videos in youtube already

but i can answer your questions

if you need

[humble cairn]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ok

why does schaeffer get super mad in C2

[royal crow]

because we break from our control chips

he cant control us anymore

and we start acting with our own will

[humble cairn]

didn't C1 schaeffer help us do that though

[royal crow]

no

[humble cairn]

huh was it henrikson

[royal crow]

C1 and C2 schaeffer are different schaeffer

[royal crow]

he got killed by schaeffer before he could do anything

im actually mad about that lol
but thats unrelated

[humble cairn]

oh right

wait so why does schaeffer slowly lose his mind

[royal crow]

im going to be real

the writers went completely unga unga

he was already crazy on R7 yes, but on R8 he goes full villian mode for almost no reason

[humble cairn]

weird

[raw terrace]

tbh i thought the same but considerin he has a WHILE being down there hes like
kinda justified to just wanna die but hes so happy about takin the warden with em

henriksson i still found weird yed but
