Sleepers are works of horror.

[nimble saddle]

I love them

They look so silly

I mean look at strikers

[eternal talon]

Now... step back, and consider yourself a sleeper.

[nimble saddle]

they look su hugabble

[eternal talon]

They are rendered immortal by the virus, along with their parasite controllers

[nimble saddle]

steps forward

[eternal talon]

Consider the ancient mayans

Thousands of years "living" this way

As the parasite controls your body

[nimble saddle]

wait how are they immortal, as in they don't age?

[plush nest]

virus parasite combo makes them functionally immortal

[eternal talon]

Correct. They don't age, and seemingly have very little, of any, required caloric intake

[nimble saddle]

Oh I see

[eternal talon]

The destination floaters have been infected for 4.5 BILLION YEARS

Could you hold your sanity that long?

Tick tock.

[plush nest]

light work

[nimble saddle]

I mean it's not like i would have a choice anyway

[eternal talon]

no, you wouldn't. they'd keep you alive.

breed more parasites within your stomach and intestines.

you will serve to spread both the parasite and the virus, forever-more.

[dry oak]

The idea that someone would call me Inatophat

[eternal talon]

until the sweet release of a bullet puts you down

[nimble saddle]

I mean he sanity thing

[eternal talon]

even as the parasite uses your body to try and prevent it.

[nimble saddle]

Also yes i know it would keep me alive that;s what i said

[eternal talon]

they scream, through your vocal chords.

nothing is left of you.

it is nightmare-fuel.

[nimble saddle]

You know it makes me feel like a hero

to put them out of their misery

[eternal talon]

it is a mercy.

to put them down.

[plush nest]

husk allowed to watch but not interact

[nimble saddle]

Yeah

[dry oak]

Okay, now explain how the parasite makes you invisible.

[eternal talon]

a mercy the game won't fucking tell you, because the story/lore must be hidden!

[nimble saddle]

Still i'd hug one

Strikers look so huggable

[nimble saddle]

yes

[eternal talon]

we don't have any explanation as to what or how the shadows are.

not a single log.

[nimble saddle]

they are the fathers that went for the milk

[eternal talon]

nor a quote.

[nimble saddle]

invisible

[eternal talon]

i'd hope you mean to ease the pain of the soul inside, if only slightly...

[plush nest]

wasnt there a log that mentions something about some person seeing them and going to the doctor, and the doctor just saying "oh well, here is some drugs"?

[dry oak]

Chargers, bigs, hybrids and tanks are easily explained as more advanced versions of the virus. They also appear closer to the inner

But shadows?

[eternal talon]

santonian and kovac downplayed the dangers for many years.

[eternal talon]

no.

the virus is nam-v. the parasite is parasitidae garganta.

the different sleeper types are made from 3 things.

[nimble saddle]

Yeah but also because strikers look strangely adorable to me

[dry oak]

Oho. Interesting

[nimble saddle]

Dunno there's something cute about em

[eternal talon]

1. what the hive needs
2. the specific subspecies of parasite
3. dauda's meddling, as for the tank and mother.

[nimble saddle]

Thanks dauda

[eternal talon]

the virus on its own can't tur you into a sleeper.

the mutations simply kill you.

[plush nest]

slight oversight by dauda

[nimble saddle]

He did an oopsie

[plush nest]

just a small one

[nimble saddle]

Yeah

[eternal talon]

if infected by the parasite, it continues where the virus left off.

[nimble saddle]

Wait i wonder

what is pablo?

Is he like a more advanced tank

[eternal talon]

we don't know, and can only theorize.

like shadows, no information.

[nimble saddle]

D:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

😭

My favourite enemy gets no lore

sadness

[eternal talon]

you should have bought the baby sleeper plushie then!

[ionic dune]

[nimble saddle]

I hate babies

Also it's 4 times as expensive for me

[eternal talon]

well it's gone for good now.

[nimble saddle]

I also don't have much money and my mom will harass me over having anything for myself

[eternal talon]

i managed to snag both the hardhat and the baby sleeper plush.

[nimble saddle]

I want the santonian box

but i think it's also gone

[dry oak]

I was not part of the gtfo community back then. I only managed to grace you with my annoyance recently

[eternal talon]

The cooler vanished looooong ago

(Yes, it was a cooler)

The store also used to have barf bags and diapers.

[nimble saddle]

sandness

I want any merch really

I love this game a lot

[eternal talon]

Iirc they still have clothes.

Just not trinkets

[nimble saddle]

I wish they had the 4 main prisoners on them instead of random masks

It's way more eh for me because of it really

[eternal talon]

Then why not just get one of the plain black ones with the gtfo logo

[ionic dune]

yep and paintings

(but the paintings costs so much)

[eternal talon]

$420 paintings still lmao

[ionic dune]

imagine import tax on that too, and shipping

[eternal talon]

but we used an expensive printer!

[ionic dune]

fhocking 'ell

[nimble saddle]

I mean i could but i'm sure my mom wouldn't let me live peacfully if i bought it

It's also really small logo thing

so is it rwally tha worth it

[eternal talon]

Then there is always the option...

To...

Make your own.

[nimble saddle]

I could try actually i am an artist after all

Time to get bullied at school

[eternal talon]

Check #arts-and-crafts

[nimble saddle]

yeah i check it

Sometimes

But well first before i'd get to it i still have to finish these pins

now that i got invested in this conversation i haven't even began lol

[eternal talon]

Too interested in lore?

[nimble saddle]

yes

but also because it's fun to finally interac with any sort of community and hang out

I've never done this this much

[eternal talon]

If you haven't, I'd highly reccomend reading the "GTFO Lore For Dummies documents (.pdf and .txt) in the pins of this channel.

[nimble saddle]

This is the 3rd time you're telling me

[eternal talon]

It contains a synopsis of all pre-apocalypse lore.

[nimble saddle]

But i will

[eternal talon]

Oh, well I tell it to everyone.

You never know.

[nimble saddle]

Probably

[nimble saddle]

Yeah i could see that

anyway i'll go do the pins for now

see ya ]

Frosty is my personal headcanon sanitizer.

[eternal talon]

Why? That guy only does speedruns

Damn. I've been schooled.

**Entry: Gallus {genus}
Poss. intro? fix end bit
/quote
There are cross-species behavioral distinctions that separate all species within the genus. The dark-skinned variants tend to be more active hunters, suggesting the darker pigmentation is a product of natural selection. They are harder to see and therefore more successful predators. The light skinned breed are still vicious and will attack at the slightest provocation, but they do not seek the prey as actively, they are more disposed to sedentary, almost somnific, behavior. They wait, and strike when roused.

as for the different known subspecies

fun/notsofun fact about the scout in regards to the term "diphyllobothrium latum mimicry?"

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

are tapeworms

[honest summit]

mmm looks delicious

[ionic dune]

wait scouts are tapeworms?

[eternal talon]

the tendrils.

and not exactly

hammerstein says it mimics them

read the three words above man...

Diphyllobotherium Latum is a specific species of tapeworm

Mimicry means, well, acting or appearing in a similar way.

[ionic dune]

i cannot find man...

[eternal talon]

what do you mean you cannot find man?

[dry oak]

Watch out, don't eat the feelers

[ionic dune]

oh ok

[ionic dune]

^

[eternal talon]

don't tell me you didn't know what mimicry means...

[ionic dune]

when they scream?

or they mimic someone elses voice?

[eternal talon]

what?

[ionic dune]

(no i dont)

[eternal talon]

i've googled it for you.

[ionic dune]

ooooooooh

i thought it was gtfo specific

or specifically scout specific

[eternal talon]

BRO

you'd kill @rocky wraith if he was in here to see this

[dry oak]

Insert nothing there clip

[ionic dune]

english aint my mothertongue (though im worse in swedish but im coping)

[eternal talon]

i don't know if it's good or bad that i can't tell.

[ionic dune]

uhm

i went to an english school for three years

[eternal talon]

has sufficient brainrot occured than the average english lexicon has decayed this much?

that a foreigner sounds native (US/UK)?

[ionic dune]

and bacisly had 90% of my personal life in english (internet rest was when speaking with family)

so idk either

[gray bone]

I mean most of the people I talk with don't understand that I'm not from the UK

[ionic dune]

no even my classmates thought i was native to england/uk

[honest summit]

I bought a property in Chixulub, and what they do for you...

[eternal talon]

pable is genuinely mexican

[ionic dune]

is that they give you the property

eye of the rah insues with pablo

frostty prolly hella confused

[honest summit]

@royal crow pls confirm the eye of pablo

[eternal talon]

not pablo.

pable @royal crow

though pablo is probably also mexican, given garganta is located there

er, was.

[gray bone]

which pablo are we talking about

[ionic dune]

also pablo mexican name?

[eternal talon]

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

[ionic dune]

fair enough

[worn rivet]

hmm

[eternal talon]

hmmmmmmm

[worn rivet]

krakens (squidwards) are cool

and flyers

also kovac defence

[royal crow]

Yes

But i don't live in the Chicxulub crater

[ionic dune]

Chat I have an idea

We should build a large prison

Inside the crater

Cuz they can’t escape

[worn rivet]

wait what's the eye of pablo

[ionic dune]

It’s just brainrot

[worn rivet]

tank are big

[acoustic ferry]

What caused the big hole in the complex?

[royal crow]

Alien weapons misfiring

[acoustic ferry]

The ship weapons?

Or like other weapons

[royal crow]

Yes

[eternal talon]

I wouldn't say misfiring because we don't know what the goal of it was / what it what aiming at.

Regardless, hamemrstein triggered it to fire during his frequency test.

If it was like an actual gun, I'd agree, like accidentally pulling the trigger is misfiring, I guess, but the weapon system was seemingly all automatic.

That would like accidentally telling the firing squad to shoot. They didn't misfire. They did their shit right. You just accidentally gave them the input to start

[ashen sphinx]

That's immigration rather than brainrot tbh.

[worn rivet]

Do we know what is inside the MWP?

It looks to me like a kind of crystal or plant

also like the colour is a mix of silver/black/grey.

[eternal talon]

the outside of the device (the shell) was built by insight

it has their logo on one of the sides

the crystal inside the device is the same as those found on destination, albeit an exceptionally small sample.

[worn rivet]

huh, those look pretty

[eternal talon]

the rest of the interior of the device is unknown.

[raw terrace]

pretty gtfo :3

[eternal talon]

when the light hits them right they turn almost invisible

as seen in this pic

[worn rivet]

So they're light manipulatble probably due to being located where they are

[kind canyon]

blob

[raw terrace]

blob

[eternal talon]

with the reflection of our inner-eye.

general information above.

[raw terrace]

yummy

[kind canyon]

oh damn i always skip that part

[eternal talon]

this instance appears to be a KSO mid-alarm and fighting a striker with a PDW

[raw terrace]

i mean so does everyone cuz u dont rlly get it when u begin

[eternal talon]

there other images, like an x-ray scan of our hydrostasis unit.

[eternal talon]

there is a lot people don't get, because the lore is so obnoxiously hidden.

[kind canyon]

i like that tho

[raw terrace]

i mean even just as hidden, once u kno that ur some soldier ur skippin it by that point its just that like thing

[eternal talon]

thats partly why community resources are so mandatory

not to mention the removed stuff, that while still canon, newbies have no way of accessing/knowing about.

[kind canyon]

there are removed contents?

dang

[raw terrace]

before the ALTs, there were the original rundowns

[eternal talon]

there are over 200 logs.

about 1/4th are removed, or were never in the game to begin with.

some, being ARG logs that took the community weeks to solve.

it's really not designed fairly for new players if the goal is to piece it together

[eternal talon]

yes, the multiple universes is another big hair-puller for new players

especially regarding alt://r6 and r7, which the game does nothing to warn you for

[raw terrace]

well but that comes in way later, lets not forget this is a just-completed r1 player kmsdkm

[eternal talon]

when you go from nice schaeffer working with the warden to full blown rebellion

its just... a lot of frustrations with it.

[raw terrace]

it is a spoiler-heavy channel but lets not forget about that kmdskm

[eternal talon]

yes.

as it stands, i'd reccomend reading the Lore For Dummies doccuments in the pins, then asking what questions remain.

as i can't know what to/not to say without.

[kind canyon]

i dont have any question atm

but i just feels like the timeline is wacky

billion of years

[eternal talon]

in terms of the game, or, ah. story.

it's complicated, as expected.

super hyper-advanced ancient aliens, the multiverse, etc.

i think the .pdf covers this ground pretty well.

[kind canyon]

the ship and everything we are in are the ancient alien civilization right?

did i get that right

[royal crow]

we are not in the ship

[eternal talon]

we aren't in the ship, and we've unfortunately never been that deep.

[royal crow]

we are in a mining complex

[eternal talon]

closest we have been is roughly 200 meters above.

[kind canyon]

oh

is it the modern period structure

[eternal talon]

read the docs. they cover pretty much all of the basics to what/where/how

[eternal talon]

i'd say a bit post.

current year is 2063.

most of the important events take place in the early to late 2050s

barring outliers of course.

[raw terrace]

how do we kno the year we play in? thought it was unknown

[eternal talon]

one of the logs regarding rundown 3 is dated.

[kind canyon]

i have funny excuse i tried but i couldnt focus on wall of texts for long

[eternal talon]

so we know it is roughly around there.

[kind canyon]

😔

especially english

[raw terrace]

big text hurt but u can just go by logs in the game until u have more doubts too

both are options

either readin the doc or playing and lookin for logs

specially with those log trackers

[kind canyon]

i have never seen any logs before

or i wasnt paying attention to that

[eternal talon]

logs are like... 99.9% walls of text.

[raw terrace]

but smaller!

and some audio

well- from r3 but

still

[eternal talon]

the lfd compresses like 3 novels worth of text into about 2 chapters.

[raw terrace]

most people dont but they been there

they were lookin at u

[eternal talon]

maybe four novels, considering alt://

[raw terrace]

small quickbite 70 times vs the big cake on a single sitting

i prefer the quickbite

sometimes

[eternal talon]

that's what the .pdf was going to be, and still partially is. each topic is one paragraph only.

also gtfo's lore isn't just any cake, that shit is like a 19 layer wedding cake with molten fudge inside

[kind canyon]

but id the pdf kept me interested for long enough

cuz it has some pictures to say the least...

[eternal talon]

well i'm not sure what to tell you.

you are reading a wall of text right now in typing.

it'd be the same, if i were to repeat what the doc says

if you have like one or two things i can clarify deeply,

but for everything it'd just be a block

[kind canyon]

the doc answered most of my question

im just confused about the location we were in

[raw terrace]

mexico :D

[kind canyon]

i thought it was the actual ship

[raw terrace]

🇲🇽 AGUACATEEE

[eternal talon]

the complex was built in the yucatan

[raw terrace]

TACOS TACOS 🎉

[kind canyon]

i never had taco before in my life 😔

[eternal talon]

santonian built the complex above what they thought was a massive vein of iridium from an asteroid

[raw terrace]

SMH

how can u even play gtfo....

[eternal talon]

the asteroid wasn't an asteroid, but was the collector's ship.

[kind canyon]

and we have never been in the ship once ?

[eternal talon]

no.

[kind canyon]

oh so they are dead from the greed 😔

[eternal talon]

there have been many many expeditions into the ship

[kind canyon]

and what exactly we are doing in the game

lorewise

[eternal talon]

but in gameplay, we've never seen it.

[royal crow]

Doing tasks for the Warden

[eternal talon]

no, not really.

we don't have any say.

money is worthless now.

all life is dead on earth

[raw terrace]

u can both sort of know by the descriptions of each mission, and a mix of lore but that comes by r6 r5 when we start getting like precise objectives

[eternal talon]

the virus, nam-v killed it

[kind canyon]

imagine losing a battle that mayan ppl managed to pull out on a draw

[royal crow]

I mean

[raw terrace]

we are just that good

mexican people are so based

[royal crow]

Mayans had the advantage of being isolated

[eternal talon]

i think they mean modern humanity

[royal crow]

That played a huge role in their victory

[eternal talon]

not our quad.

[raw terrace]

except for pablo

[raw terrace]

they said mayan people

i dont think theres mayans in 2050

[royal crow]

Who knows

Maybe you are one

[raw terrace]

:O

nooo im a purepecha

very different

[eternal talon]

what?

you've got me so confused.

-> imagine losing a battle that mayan ppl managed to pull out on a draw
-> we are just that good

are you mexican?

thats the only thing i can think of that'd make this make sense

[raw terrace]

purepechans were a pre-colonialism tribe located in mexico aside of the aztecs and other local clans, they were known to be fierce on battle :3

[raw terrace]

yes obv

tacos tacos me

🇲🇽

[thin surge]

bro doesnt know the A2 lore

[royal crow]

Unfortunately
The average mexican isnt built like the Mayans were

[raw terrace]

slendi and a2 lore

[eternal talon]

a2 secondary is really inconsequential in terms of lore.

[thin surge]

not the lvl, the guy

[raw terrace]

i love how people just call pablo "a2" or "password guy" KMSKDM

[eternal talon]

ah, you meant pable.

he has a lot of nicknames.

[raw terrace]

he so stylish

[thin surge]

hes been a2 longer for me then when he was pablo

[royal crow]

Pablex
Pablos wife
Pablos husband
A2
Pebbles
Password guy

[raw terrace]

can i call u bitch :3

[kind canyon]

real

[royal crow]

Yes bbg

[raw terrace]

nevermind !

[thin surge]

ayo

[royal crow]

Alright guys

Should i buy a steam deck or a ROG Ally

[eternal talon]

steam deck.

[royal crow]

Why?

[eternal talon]

because gaben.

[royal crow]

Fair enough

[eternal talon]

valve is literally the ultimate in consumer trust.

you can't get better than that

[raw terrace]

i think the rog ally had more openess as in its just windows on a machine, bug that havin drawbacks onnn battery and stuff i think?

[eternal talon]

they are like little caesar's.

[raw terrace]

depends on what u want i think

[raw terrace]

little caesars is so good that i ate too much and now im sickened by them

[royal crow]

Yeah thats what's been making me think

[eternal talon]

the ceo quetly paid for fucking rosa park's rent until she died AND moved her out of a bad neighborhood

they are goats

[worn rivet]

hnn

[raw terrace]

i guess it depends on what u would play on it

[royal crow]

games

[raw terrace]

omg W

[royal crow]

:D

[eternal talon]

i mean you know you can put windows on steam deck, right?

[raw terrace]

a

[royal crow]

Also RoG Ally is cheaper than the Steam Deck

So idk

[kind canyon]

wouldnt that eat more of ur spec

i mean window

[eternal talon]

i'd rather pay more and get something that'd last.

deck has been going strong for years now

[eternal talon]

so would any operating system.

steam deck uses a modified linux by default

[kind canyon]

whats base operation system for deck

just steam big picture thingy?

[royal crow]

Steam OS?

[worn rivet]

The destination crystals look cool

[kind canyon]

oh

[eternal talon]

"STEAMOS"

but it's just linux

so it has the same pros/cons

[kind canyon]

idk about linux at all but ive seen some meme about it

[royal crow]

Basically You have full control of your machine with Linux

And i mean full

[eternal talon]

i'm just saying, if i had a choice, it wouldn't be a decision. it'd be valve all the way.

i'm also pretty sure their consoles are on sale

rn

[royal crow]

800$ in Amazon

[eternal talon]

bro wtf

why would you buy it on amazon?

it's on the steam store

[royal crow]

Not available in México

[eternal talon]

mid-range is $549

[kind canyon]

oh dang thats kinda rough

[eternal talon]

eh, the 1tb is overrated.

[kind canyon]

i forgor

funny letters

[kind canyon]

does it

for a console ig

im kinda struggling with 750gb rn

with my pc

[eternal talon]

the only difference is the glass being anti-glare

is that worth $100?

[royal crow]

512GB ver is 800$

Damn

[kind canyon]

oh wait yea u r right

it doesnt upgrade much

for that price diff

[eternal talon]

500gb is more than enough space for a handheld

[royal crow]

Meanhwile Rog Ally
550USD

[eternal talon]

look, i can't choose for you, but i'm saying what i'd go with. half of the shit i own is expensive af because i know i'd never have to replace it.

buy once cry once

[royal crow]

"Buy once cry once"

I love it

[eternal talon]

unless you drop it

then cry twice

[royal crow]

I'm stealing that quote

[ionic dune]

so i played r3a3 and i saw that there were other logs than the reactor verify ones, what do they contain?

[eternal talon]

feel free. it's not my quote.

true...

i didnt even notice the message

Its a pipe hitting a wall

[eternal talon]

it's morse code that plays during r1d1

[ionic dune]

6 hours into the future (at least from my perspective)

[ionic dune]

ah yes china streching from +6 to +9 yet only having one timezone

(france in the corner with 12 timezones)

[royal crow]

French

[kind canyon]

look at malaysian timezone

xD

[eternal talon]

you are in +7

so let's see..

[ionic dune]

"nuh uh uh, you're coming with me"

[eternal talon]

unless you are russian, you live here

i've got them

thanks china, for using one giant ass time zone

[kind canyon]

[jolly sail]

you live on the planet....

[ionic dune]

ive got them

[kind canyon]

still dont where im exactly anyway

[ionic dune]

you live in our solar system 🐟

[eternal talon]

if we knew what color the sky was we could determine probably which town based on distance from the equator

[kind canyon]

[ionic dune]

"jarvis, ping his IP"

[kind canyon]

wait no

[eternal talon]

that's too easy tho

[ionic dune]

fair

we will track down GTFO orders from steam

and hack into steam to get their reciept

wait no then steam would send hitmen to kill us

damn

[royal crow]

I am the hitmam

[eternal talon]

lord gaben, extraditing that german hacker

https://www.wired.com/2008/11/valve-tricked-h/

[ionic dune]

my email got hacked once and the first account i got back was steam lol

[eternal talon]

the fucking FBI said "you are lucky we got to you first"

and that is genuine

not a meme

[eternal talon]

the fat man gives.

he is santa.

[worn rivet]

hmm, destantion is weird

[eternal talon]

Yeah?

Buddy did you just wake up from a coma from OGR6?

What about destination isn't weird?

[worn rivet]

i'm just looking at pictures of it and theorizing on some of it

[eternal talon]

I've got a ton more

From practically every time we go there

I've got at least 3

[worn rivet]

Mainly the plants and krakens

[eternal talon]

Plants are mostly just reused models

[worn rivet]

[eternal talon]

They are all the same,

Aside from the roots from that one r7 trip

Sandy teleporter?

[worn rivet]

uhh, that massive cavern with tech and shite in it

[eternal talon]

What?

I genuinely don't know what you are talking about

R6cx?

[worn rivet]

yes that must be it

[eternal talon]

That is the underground of r6ax

It's the same facility

We see it again from a distance in r8

[worn rivet]

Oh yeah, that must be it

[eternal talon]

It's a lot of infrastructure, unclear as to how it was built

Or why

Alpha one and alpha two make sense as research outposts

Alpha three is just... too large

[royal crow]

Mining?

[eternal talon]

For who, if they are stranded?

[royal crow]

For research

[eternal talon]

And where did they get all the stuff to build there, let alone digging that huge pit

[worn rivet]

Is that the place where we see all the krakens (squidwards) during r8

[eternal talon]

Yes

[worn rivet]

that place is where a few theories of mine die

and are sparked anew

[worn rivet]

R8 is a mess

Like litterally a mess of lore and the place falling apart

[ionic dune]

What does the green C’s represent on certain doors?

[eternal talon]

Checkpoint.

its so you, in gameplay, know it is a checkpoint door.

[ionic dune]

Oh ok

[royal crow]

[wary portal]

Do you @eternal talon think the payda 2 lore is tied to the game

Like some elements of GTFO is in payday 2

[worn rivet]

I mean there is similarites

[wary portal]

Wolfs description is mad sus

Also jimmy

[worn rivet]

Wolf in payday 3 was revealed to have retired with his wife, until the attacks happend and he had to come back

[wary portal]

Hmmmm

[worn rivet]

And he's probably either dead or in mexico

or dealing with his clones

[wary portal]

Most likely dead yeah

[coral gorge]

Oh my god they said the thing!

[worn rivet]

Also dalas and him were close notably, which is an intresting thingy

[eternal talon]

I've never played payday.

The closest I've ever gotten to heist games are old school swat games like rainbow six vegas and 3

[worn rivet]

I can simplify it in one sentence: A gang of about 20 robs a lot of places and kills alot of people, and then gods and ilumenati happens.

It has had a few args and an entire secret that's like 50 steps

[eternal talon]

I picked up gtfo for the rustbolt sci-fi horror aethetics.

Garganta is, er, was, absolutely filthy looking and looked like an amazing setting for survival/action horror

[raw terrace]

with a name such as garganta

i mean thats just so raw it goes so hard

[eternal talon]

It means throat

I'm assuming it's regarding the holes we drop down in

[raw terrace]

ik i mexican ksmdkm

yeah cuz cuz throat shape :3

[worn rivet]

Wait garganta means throat

[eternal talon]

Mexican isn't a language

Pable would strangle you

[raw terrace]

i am mexican ergo i speak spanish ergo uh

i ran out of ergos

[raw terrace]

yis

and cuernos means horns

[worn rivet]

Cica de madre, That's cool

[eternal talon]

Way back then, in the suggestions channel, one of the main things I wanted to see as an internal tram or train network

Something about transport in a place like this would be even more terrifying

Like the tunnels in metro 2033

[wary portal]

Good old suggestion channel

Fuck that guy that downvoted everything

[eternal talon]

Imagine riding a tram and holding off sleepers as they jump down on it

[raw terrace]

didnt rlly did a whole lot either

[wary portal]

For real

[eternal talon]

Or hell, having a semi-free roam level with a tram as the centerpiece

[raw terrace]

if i imagine how most tranport worked was probs elevators tho

as that one tile

[eternal talon]

Vertical elevators ironically enough aren't suited for the length or environment of this kind of facility.

Vertical elevators can only go so far because of cable wrapping and friction

Underground elevators are by and large horizontal /

[raw terrace]

i mean its probs just for a smaller zone not just the entirety of garganta ksmdkm
casuallh traverses 2 kilometers

[eternal talon]

Going down at an angle, because the cables can be wound separately to the shaft and at a much larger size

Black mesa in half life by valve was incredibly well researched irl

It uses both horizontal elevators and trams

I'd even argue to say the drop down elevator barely makes sense

And wouldn't at all, were it not for the place lacking a ceiling

Because with that length of cable and weight, if you ran it out horizontally then down, even steel wouldn't be able to hold it.

You should see the trailers and stuff. The cabes fucking coil as they drop down, it's crazy

[royal crow]

Who said this

Who said Mexican is a language

[raw terrace]

if i had to thinkg about it it was just to move closed hsus or something but warden is like :D

[raw terrace]

i said i was mexican

and frosty thought i meant i spoke mexican

[royal crow]

Well, we do

Jk

[raw terrace]

me when i speak tacos

:3

[eternal talon]

Like an angry Italian having their mother insulted... lmao

[royal crow]

Italians are scary

[eternal talon]

Ik. You just dropped in
who said this

[loud urchin]

wait aren't you chilean?

[eternal talon]

Gustavo?

[raw terrace]

nopes i tacos

[loud urchin]

WHO WAS CHILEAN

I SWEAR SOMEONE WAS

or was it slendi saying chile is cool and then i'm like "oh slendi's chilean"

[worn rivet]

hmm

r7e1 looks like hell

[raw terrace]

i no think no ones chilean

maybe i said somethin about spicy something

[turbid merlin]

Question: From who’s perspective we play as?

When we escape to the jungle dimension, the ending screen says “Signal Lost”, so I assume it is because We are no longer in range for the Warden to command us?

But that makes me question, we are looking through the protagonist eyes or rather as what the Warden sees through the chips in our brains?

[ionic dune]

id say woods due to us (spoiler ahead) ||breaking the chips||

[turbid merlin]

Who is “woods”?

It is a character or?

[ionic dune]

yea, its the "host" of the lobby

so like if you play with three bots

heres the names

and if i was a bot id be named woods

IE im playing as woods

[turbid merlin]

And, at the final mission R8E2 what happened to the Warden? Or it was ok with us leaving)

[ionic dune]

idk im new

whenever frostty is online you could ask them

[royal crow]

The Warden is just kinda there

He cant control us or do anything at that point

[turbid merlin]

Why? It is because disabled it with Chafer?

[ionic dune]

also we dont know what the warden wants/its motives iirc

[royal crow]

Because our chips are fried

[ionic dune]

thats the spoiler i put (yes ik i dont need to)

[royal crow]

Also in R8E1 as you get a message of the Warden leaving

So he failed and just left the ALT team to die

[royal crow]

Also the Warden is not disabled
He still there, but schaeffer took control over Biocom in OG

[turbid merlin]

It is a human? How does it “quit” if it is a machine.

[royal crow]

He is an Alien

[thin surge]

The warden was directly working with the alt team but started also working with the OG team in B4. With it helping get rid of the control chips it prob. wanted to help the OG team get out too

[turbid merlin]

BioCom being the security system like the BioScans?

[royal crow]

Theres multiple Wardens each in its own dimension

[royal crow]

Biocom is the system that controls KSOs

(read the for dummies doc)

[eternal talon]

for a basic synopsis of the lore, without gameplay spoilers, please the read the GTFO Lore For Dummies (.pdf and .txt) in the pins of this channel.

I can answer anything the doc doesn't.

(or elaborate on what it does)

[coral gorge]

also regarding all the questions above since I dont think the doc covers it
We dont actually know what the warden does after R8E1/E2, its possible it game ended itself, its possible it just „left” biocom, or did basically anything it could

[royal crow]

Omg Cubix

[coral gorge]

Its me
Now im gonna leave again and not be active in here for a month

[eternal talon]

they asked "Who is woods?", i figure they'd need a lot of it

[coral gorge]

that is indeed true

[ionic dune]

shouldve sent the shirtless pic of him lol

[coral gorge]

but hey atleast lore chats alive

[coral gorge]

lmao

Or perhaps rather

”He’s a terrorist”

[royal crow]

Hot

[coral gorge]

The gtfo we never got
The ultimate male power fantasy, 4 shirtless man gunning down horrors that ended humanity

[eternal talon]

the picture is from the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vSYJckIfi8

[coral gorge]

Once again i am reminded

the old lights engine looked cool af

[eternal talon]

old lighting engine meme

[eternal talon]

also that looks like Hackett's helmet without the hood

at least all painted black

[coral gorge]

oh yeah

The lemon helmet

just without the lemon

[ancient surge]

Are their any other companies other than Kovac and Santonian/Dreyfus that are mentioned anywhere in the logs? Like maybe any of the other companies that created other melee/firearm weapons like Omneco or Isoco? I am curious

[eternal talon]

yes.

nyxos.

they were a contractor.

they made a bunch of miscellaneous stuff

[ancient surge]

I have never heard of them

did they have related Cosmetics in the game?

[raw terrace]

nyxos i think so

some pants

theres alsooo the hacking tool company, which also made the terminal

lemme check the name

[eternal talon]

CTRL industrie

s

[raw terrace]

dammit

[eternal talon]

some of the other weapon companies also have cosmetic items

[raw terrace]

my win

[eternal talon]

aha!

[raw terrace]

yeah but the question was for nyxos ksmdkm

ik omneco has some

kovac ovc

santonian

etc

[ancient surge]

I notice now that their is apparently a page on the Wiki with all of the other companies

[raw terrace]

:D

was itt

[[Minor companies]]

[amber nimbus]

https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Minor_companies?action=edit&redlink=1

[raw terrace]

nope

[[Minor Companies]]

[amber nimbus]

https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Minor_Companies

[raw terrace]

there

[ancient surge]

yes

I'm not seeing anything else that is significant to the story though

just names and some basic information

I was wondering if their were any other companies that are featured in the logs that also make some of the weaponry other than Kovac

[raw terrace]

no, i guess only santonian with the mallet

[ancient surge]

yeah seems like it

[eternal talon]

and HDH

[ancient surge]

yes

[raw terrace]

u can always mod a gun and just name it

uh

the Rockword 994 and have it be a hammer

[gray bone]

Limbus
Company

[raw terrace]

that like

shoots

[worn rivet]

hmm

[dry oak]

What's this about r8a2 secondary not being canon?

[eternal talon]

it's not.

we die at the end of r8a2 secondary.

but r8 continues.

so it's not.

[dry oak]

Frostty, I'm cornfused.

[eternal talon]

it's impossible to beat r8a2 secondary.

you are trapped in a corridor with endless waves

the quad, whoever they are, die.

[dry oak]

That's the Dr hammerstein creature survey yes?

[eternal talon]

we already know the canon deaths of OG and ALT://.

either 1: we play as OG before, and OG during, and it isn't canon in any way
or 2: we play as OG before, then the Nightmare quad during, and die as the Nightmare quad.

[dry oak]

Fun

[eternal talon]

as far as i remember, it is also the only place in the game we see nightmare babies and the potato.

[dry oak]

The nightmare dimension is different to what I thought then. I thought it was just referring to one of the spaggetified dimensions.

[eternal talon]

it is.

like og and alt, it was a dimension before

[dry oak]

So glitching through a wall to input a code the characters have no possible knowledge of is...

[eternal talon]

the terminal when accessed, teleports you. it could be a recording/their pov thing.

[eternal talon]

worldline fuckery

[dry oak]

Yay

[gray bone]

R8A2 is the only spot where nightmare moms and nightmare babies are featured
I think potato is immortal, which is in r7e1

[eternal talon]

no? potato is the potato

https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Nightmare_Giant

[gray bone]

Oh potato
That one

Yeah that only exist there as well
my mistake

[next panther]

Nightmare mom?

[raw terrace]

i mean

||if u only played occlusion||

[next panther]

I did

Although not e2 and e3

Also fuck d4

[raw terrace]

what

but d4 :[

i had a part in d4 :]

and in e2

[next panther]

I think

[raw terrace]

i dont

[next panther]

How much the waves stack past the timer is kinda ass

But also I really think the timer should be a bit longer

D4 just feels like an outlier in the d tiers

I think I just didn’t have a huge amount of fun with it

Idk maybe a gotta replay it

Though that one level with the 4 t scans was pretty sick

[raw terrace]

uhhh i think it was d2

if not d3

[next panther]

Yeah one of them

Not that hard but very fun

[raw terrace]

well but did u enjoy the funny ||chimken dimension||

[next panther]

It was funny at first

I think it just turned into a bit of a tedious section

Too many room enemies probably

The alarm is fine id say

[raw terrace]

good enough

🎉

that was my part i gave him the idea lol

[next panther]

It’s a funny idea lol

Could’ve been done a bit better tho

I think most of occlusion is pretty good though

[raw terrace]

idk i had like no experience with thinkin of ideas lol

but occlus based

dak the gamer

[next panther]

No experience with thinking

[raw terrace]

me

[hard linden]

That looks AI generated

[raw terrace]

gtfo early access was by 2017 2018

not early acces

pre-aplha

so before the ai things

[next panther]

Some early stuff they changed quickly lol

I like the mapper

[gray bone]

It might just be the type of confusion you get after being up at four in the morning

[next panther]

I’m happy auri has it in hide and seek

[next panther]

That does happen lmao

I was running r1a1 speeds at 2am while being up for like 17 hours

I was a little cooked

Sitting there watching TikTok’s for 20 minutes until I hear “B HSU B HSU”

[raw terrace]

i feel like the mappter wouldve been a way better tool if it showed u enemy positioning plus boxes and their contents
a bit too terminal replacement but that would determine if going into room would be worth it or not

i also had something else for it but i have completely forgotten what it was

[next panther]

Yeah

Although I think that the bio tracker is just better

Mapper is cool, bio tracker is much more practical

[raw terrace]

if only mapper was bio

[radiant root]

mapper is ass

[raw terrace]

OwO

[im sorry]

[ionic dune]

lore wise should i stick towards completing left side first or its doing it by A then B then C the lore accurate way of playing?

[eternal talon]

All a tier, then all b tier, etc

You need to do all of them to unlock e1 anyway

Then I'd repeat for the second half

Lore accurate is each full tier before the next one, yeah.

[ionic dune]

oh ok

guessing r8 is an exception due to you needing to do left side first

[coral gorge]

Well technically R8 would be doing 2 missions simultanously

which yknow i dont think is really possible

[ionic dune]

fair

[ionic dune]

eva could prolly do smth like that (also it probably is)

i can play two games at the same time as long as it isnt timed

[coral gorge]

I mean

if you were to do smth like, play until alarm, do alarm for one team, then the other, repeat

then thats very doable

if you were to actually progress both missions at once, that would be hell i think

[ionic dune]

yea, and the alarm level on r8 (forgor what its called) could also be done due to door bug

[ionic dune]

yep

[long glacier]

y does moth and frosty have the same cats in their pfps

🙀

[ionic dune]

I’ve stolen their car

Actually yea why are they so similar 😭🙏

[worn rivet]

hmm

[ionic dune]

Also how’s the casino grind going? Lost ur laptop again?

[long glacier]

oh nah i got that back

[long glacier]

puss-

[ionic dune]

That’s good

[long glacier]

i lost my left lung tho

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ionic dune]

Might’ve said that in class to some people when we were talking about ”cat in the rain” by Hemingway

[long glacier]

ok bro.

[ionic dune]

Bruh you could’ve sold that

[long glacier]

💀

[long glacier]

i got my laptop back tho.

[ionic dune]

Also wasn’t even in my friend group when I said ”everyone wants the puss-”

[worn rivet]

I think if the usa just bombed garganta, it would've fixed alot.

[ionic dune]

W’s

[long glacier]

MURICAAAA 🦅 🦅 🦅 🦅 🦅 🦅

[long glacier]

i love puss- 😋

[ionic dune]

Just drop two nukes fuck is the virus gonna do? Survive?

[long glacier]

puss n boots

i love both pusses

[ionic dune]

😭🙏

[ionic dune]

Pussies no?

[long glacier]

puss n boots and cats

[ionic dune]

Grammar police alert

[worn rivet]

Drop a firebomb or two, and if needed a nuclear capable weapon.

[long glacier]

nah cuh, women are a distraction

[ionic dune]

I thought fire didn’t kill it?

[ionic dune]

I didn’t mean women either

[long glacier]

oh

oops mb

[worn rivet]

Wait shit, it doesnt

[ionic dune]

😭🙏

[ionic dune]

Nuke time

[worn rivet]

then nukes wouldnt work much

[ionic dune]

Why not?

Wouldn’t it’s dna mutate

Wait

No

That’s not good

Fuck

[worn rivet]

If fire cant kill it, then super heated air wouldnt.

Also it survived the heat of a universe starting!

[ionic dune]

Radiation though🤔

[ionic dune]

Fair

[long glacier]

dump all the worlds supply of cocaine, meth, and fentanyl

into gargantua

[ionic dune]

😭😭🙏🙏

[worn rivet]

That would doom the entire planet

[ionic dune]

Isn’t that just the syringes?

[long glacier]

they all powder lmao

[ionic dune]

IIX = meth and coke, the other one is fentanyl

[long glacier]

sleepers gon be too geeked and fucked up on withdrawal

[ionic dune]

😭🙏

[long glacier]

yea but like u just dump the powder form into the hole

[ionic dune]

Fair

[long glacier]

like coat that hole white

[ionic dune]

😭🙏

[worn rivet]

Yeah small problem, the virus at that point would be out.

[ionic dune]

Why not do it still? It funni

[worn rivet]

And already starting to eradicate the human race with mutations

[long glacier]

or hear me out

[ionic dune]

Look like old cfoam pie

I’ll see myself out

[long glacier]

actually nvm

[worn rivet]

I think an orbital class airstrike on garganta would just doom everything

[ionic dune]

Chat why don’t we just build a box around gargantua before the virus got out

[long glacier]

chat

[ionic dune]

Chat

[long glacier]

oh real

just fanum tax that shi

[long glacier]

we are not playing helldivers dawg

[ionic dune]

Frfr ts is pmo with how complicated they made it 🥀

[worn rivet]

Because NAM-V wasnt really known about outside garganta before it was too late, due to kovac and the other companies keeping it hush hush

[long glacier]

just dump drugs bruh

solves 2 issues in one

[ionic dune]

Chat why couldn’t we just build a box around every piece of virus

[long glacier]

yo fax

[worn rivet]

And using it for experiments/planning to use it as a bio weapon.

[long glacier]

just dont consent to the virus entering ur body

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ionic dune]

Using a planet wiping virus as a weapon 🥴

[ionic dune]

Chat why didn’t I think of this when I got Covid?

[worn rivet]

Everyone in gtfo are dumbasses

[long glacier]

touche

[ionic dune]

The guy controlling woods on my pc is too 🗣️🔥

[worn rivet]

Like og schaffer in r8 was to cause a nuclear reactor to meltdown which lead to his and alts deaths and garganta fusing into other versions of itself

[long glacier]

i dont get how any of these solutions would work when u have said that the virus has already spread to the outside world lmao

especially with its high lethality rate

[ionic dune]

He’s in da wall

[long glacier]

lowkey i would just spend my dying days gambling

[worn rivet]

They dont that's the point

[long glacier]

💀 bro

[ionic dune]

Id just steal a car and drive around

[long glacier]

yea ima go back

[long glacier]

yo drive me to the casino

🙏

[worn rivet]

nothing you can throw at it, can stop it from our knowledge

[ionic dune]

Didn’t some ancient people fend it off so that it didn’t destroy the entire world before we did

The uhhhhh whatadaycalledagain

[long glacier]

chat does this mean genz and gen a are coooked ?

😭 🙏 we devolving

[ionic dune]

(We already are)

[worn rivet]

Yeah that was the mayans, but that was when NAM-V was still in the caves and they werent doing experiments/drugs.

[long glacier]

skibidi rizz, may the huzz be with u my sigma 😔

[ionic dune]

Yea those people (also they were prolly also doing drugs if im gonna be honest)

[ionic dune]

Muh bruzz duh fuh wuh tha huzz bruzz befuh huzz

Im kms

[worn rivet]

Gen z is fucking doomed

[eternal talon]

given it is several thousand meters below ground, yes.

[ionic dune]

Lol

[eternal talon]

yes it does. fire kills anything.

[eternal talon]

because somebody will be an asshole and illegally enter the box anyway

[ionic dune]

Fair

[eternal talon]

that's why the parasite takes you over. if the parasite is you, it can consent

checkmate

[ionic dune]

They should’ve napalmed gargantua when they realized what was in there

[ionic dune]

I don’t consent to it taking over me🥴

[worn rivet]

Napalm and the good old mini sun

[ionic dune]

Also allegedly frostty ive stolen ur car

[eternal talon]

i don't have a car, nor a driver's licence, so i don't see how

who's car did you steal?

[ionic dune]

(Cat frostty, I’ve stolen your cat allegedly)

[eternal talon]

i doubt it.

[ionic dune]

(If only there was a reply you could click on to get the context)

Anyways

[worn rivet]

AAHAHAH

[ionic dune]

They actually are so similar

Crazy

[eternal talon]

thy are just the same fur pattern.

crazy sometimes.

[ionic dune]

Have you ever seen them in the same room together?

[eternal talon]

yeah, my cat has a raccoon tail

[ionic dune]

Confirmed, I did not steal frosttys car
