Eradicating the complex would be hard

[eternal talon]

Very

[north obsidian]

during the finale is the alt team on the same area as r5e1 or is it the og team

because dont those levels take place on top of one another

[raw terrace]

the finale as in r8e2?

[north obsidian]

yeah

[raw terrace]

its the same zone but not the same area

its still KDS deep yes but either way above or way below

kds was not a simple little zone as the others, but a giant hsu storage zone

[north obsidian]

i mean since y know like the entrance is literally the same before kds deep in both r5e1 and r8e2

i just thought it was backtracking

[raw terrace]

the entrances about the same yes but that just seems to be a trend for all of the complex lol

plus it is a little different e2s one has much more storage around the sides

it is the same entrance on r8e1 tho

that ones the exact same as the original kds from r5e1

u just enter from a caved in wall

[north obsidian]

ok

[next panther]

Cave in ur ass

Or something

[raw terrace]

nah thats r2e1

[ionic dune]

did jordy get the parasite in their ear?

jordy = E257

[eternal talon]

I'm pretty sure Jordy just went crazy from the virus and committed suicide.

I can check in a bit

[ionic dune]

oh ok

[raw terrace]

buddy walked into a drill

sounds like suicide

[eternal talon]

in OG, yes.
**Incident Description
During second shift (approximately 13:15) we hit a Cretasium vein which broke a tooth on the cutting head. We killed power to the mole, cleared Team 5 and called engineering. Engineering sent Jordy (E257) and Gus (E431) to replace the tooth. The work took 1 hour, during which time there were no indications of any issues from Jordy or Gus. I was supervising the work from cage 3, approximately 15 meters from the incident.

After replacing the tooth, Jordy cleared and Gus started the mole to check head alignment. When the mole reached full speed, Jordy turned to me, saluted, then walked directly into the cutting head. The teeth dragged him in and chopped him into pieces.

I then told Gus to cut the power. Medical arrived but there was nothing of Jordy left and I was told to write up this incident report.

The mole will need to be serviced and cleaned.

Actions taken after incident
Psych evals ordered for Gus Addison (E431) and Gianna Hilton (D043).**

in alt://, it seems more grusome.

**Incident Description

During second shift (approximately 13:27) the mole seized up due to a build up of slurry on the cutting head. After shutting down the mole, we attempted to clear as much of the material by hand as possible. We determined that as the slurry composition was primarily consolidated rock with Cretasium fragments, manual removal would not be sufficient. We contacted engineering, who suggested chemical removal.

Engineering sent Jordy (E257) and Gus (E431) to spray the mole head with a hydrochloric acid wash. Second shift crew helped set up the spray tent then cleared the area to let Jordy and Gus set up acid jets aimed at the mole head. After setting up the jets, Gus exited the spray tent and waited for the all clear. Jordy zipped up the tent and called the all clear.

Gus started the jets, drenching the mole head with acid. A few seconds after the spraying started, Jordy walked back to the tent. Gus shouted at him to stop, but Jordy continued to the tent and unzipped it. He then entered the tent and walked in front of the jets, into the acid stream.

I hit the exposure alarm as Gus stopped the jet. After a few seconds, Jordy started screaming once the acid had burned through his hazmat suit. The blast door began to close. Gus and I ran to the blast door and just made it out in time. Jordy's screaming grew more intense and the filtration pumps automatically turned on, drowning out Jordy's screams as the blast door closed.

9 minutes later the filtration pumps stopped and the blast door opened. Jordy must have walked out of the tent because his remains were close to the blast door.

Medical arrived but there was nothing of Jordy left and I was told to write up this incident report.

The mole still needs to be serviced and cleaned.

Actions taken after incident:

Psych evals ordered for Gus Addison (E431) and Gianna Hilton (D043).**

[ionic dune]

damn

[worn rivet]

Oh god that's brutal!

[coral gorge]

Tbh can we even explain wtf happened here?

like
Did the guy have the virus from earlier and it just suddenly „activated” and he game ended himself?

or did he catch the virus while cleaning the drill and went insane within like half an hour and instantly offed himself

[ionic dune]

By March 2053, the symptoms of NAM-V, as it spread globally, were considerably more severe:

Haemoptysis (coughing up blood)
Muscular spasms
Frothing at the mouth
Violent behaviour
Extreme lethargy or drowsiness
Depression
Vomiting

a combo of depression, extreme lethargy or drowsiness and violent behaviours prolly did it

[eternal talon]

i agree the text is a bit cheesy, but i agree with moth. he was just infected and finally said fuck it

even with how op the virus is... i don't think it can progress that fast to have him catching it from the drill bit.

the log is from ogr5, so it was written quite some time ago.

[worn rivet]

Nothing in gtfo has even a sembalance of wholesome ness

Every character is either a mindwashed slave or a diffrent dimension version of them, insane due to being trapped in the complex and then dying with an alternate dimension version of himself after activating a nuclear meltdown, a computer virus that might be a collector , or a guy that get's beaten to death with a metal pipe.

[eternal talon]

so is 40k and people adore that franchise.

[worn rivet]

Yeah, but that's got wholesome stuff sprinkled in it at times with love even prevealing, this is just hell.

[eternal talon]

i mean, there's some appeal otherwise you and i wouldn't be here.

its like watching a car crash.

morbid curiosity.

sometimes its fun to watch idiots kill themselves.

#DarwinAwards, anyone?

[worn rivet]

Morbid curiosity can summarize alot in gtfo.

[worn rivet]

That and pure stupidity

[eternal talon]

they covered up the deaths of the red cross workers. they incinerated the bodies. they didn't have to dig that pit. greed did that. they didn't have to keep digging once they found out it wasn't actually pure iridium, curiosity did that. they didn't need to ignore quarantine procedures, idiocy did that.

[worn rivet]

R8e1 and e2's ending sequence/fight/scan take place in the same area, just e1's slightly above it and e2's a little further down.

[worn rivet]

Many, many good points.

[eternal talon]

"rather them than us", i forget the term for it, but it falls into the same category.

humans are idiotic, greedy assholes.

it takes an ancient, pre-industrial civilization to actually work together to try and solve the problem.

[worn rivet]

Like when og team teleports away and rips out all the hsus with them, that's what causes the destruction we see in r8e1

[eternal talon]

capitalist greed, all for me, industrialization... etc

many themes.

[worn rivet]

Except we dont descend as much in r8e1 as in e2

So the ground being there is strange

[eternal talon]

how so?

and wdym by "ground"

its just rubble and bare stone

[worn rivet]

We fight the last scan and it's after battle on ground, except r8e2's teleporter is further down.

[eternal talon]

when a void is made, the ground above will cave in to fill it.

[worn rivet]

Agreed

Also the fake out that happens during that last sequence is the perfect mix of YES it's done and OH SHIT

[eternal talon]

you know, the sleepers don't kill you.

you only ever go down in expeditions.

there isn't a full death mechanic.

we'd be sleeperified.

they wouldn't get to rest.

[worn rivet]

Oh god, so they just have to lie there forever now slowly turning into a sleeper, if their lucky

[eternal talon]

if they are lucky?

i wouldn't consider sleeperification lucky.

i'd say that is hell

and there isn't really anything around anymore besides whatever KSO teams the warden has left

[worn rivet]

I mean if their lucky they die to the virus, if their not well the parasite gets to them

[eternal talon]

you might just stay that way, practically forever

until the sun expands and swallows the earth

well actually, that i'm not too well versed in

[worn rivet]

And then boom

[eternal talon]

if it'd leave the barren rock, or if it'd melt the planet

[worn rivet]

Or they die to the place just burning down

[eternal talon]

why would it burn down?

we've discussed schaeffer's reactor meltdown plan is... unrealistic at best.

[worn rivet]

The shite ton of fire around the place

[eternal talon]

he removed the only thing that could cause an explosion, the coolant

[worn rivet]

It just caving in at somepoint

[eternal talon]

i guess, but you'd think the parasite would move you away in that case

the ship has lasted sturdily enough for 65 million years already

[worn rivet]

Good point,

[eternal talon]

its an animal, they're afraid of fire
to quote alien

[worn rivet]

I wonder what the collectors actually looked like, cause if it's anything like what the bible described as an angel for instance, well hehe.

[eternal talon]

we have absolutely no idea.

we can only estimate, given the size of their chambers/corridors

[worn rivet]

The complex should be flooded if it's under the ocean, like if it's that far down.

[eternal talon]

the beams stopped just short of the seabed.

[worn rivet]

just short is till pretty close, and with erosion and natrual decay.

[eternal talon]

i mean yeah, but the heat would probably instantly turn the sand into glass

i'd like to imagine the perspective of somebody like a prepper, how they'd react to the world ending the way it did

to something you can't even see and have very little chance of fighting against

[ionic dune]

Damn so I’m fighting my old self in all of the levels I’m hardstuck in lol

[ionic dune]

Yippie I was lore accurate for once lol

[ionic dune]

Dont remember if it’s viruses or poisons but one of them only start to show symptoms after half an hour, no matter which one it is (at least from what I’ve heard)

[ionic dune]

Real

[worn rivet]

hmm

[heady hinge]

Hey guys I've been playing through R6 in order and kinda took long breaks between levels so I don't remember the story that we were supposed to be following. Can anyone sum it up to me? I just did R6D2 and don't know anything about D3 or D4 (no spoilers on gameplay pls, but you can talk about story if you want)

[royal crow]

Rundown 6 doesnt have too much lore

Other than Schaeffer telling us he is working with the warden

And the outside world is gone blah blah blah

[heady hinge]

Hmmm

When does he say that?

[royal crow]

R6D1

[heady hinge]

Theres only 1 thing I remember from D1 lmao

When was it said? Was it in logs in terminals?

[royal crow]

Dialogue

Before going to Destination

[heady hinge]

I played that like 3 days ago and don't remember what

I'll look into it, thanks!

[royal crow]

Some of the OG R6 dialogue got moved into terminal logs

[heady hinge]

Oh I see

[radiant root]

isn’t it also weirdly playing the dialogue from the door now instead of globally?

before the portal

[royal crow]

Yep

It plays the audio near the door for some reason

[radiant root]

iirc i think they set it up like a scream door for some reason lol

and that’s why it plays from the door

[raw terrace]

in r6d1 u also get a lot of lore for the warden

like a big big lore drop

||the warden, through the conduit [aka the human clone it communicates through] says they are "the collectors" an alien group that collect the virus, but crashed on earth killing the dinosaurs||

[eternal talon]

bro

[plush nest]

The ocean doesn’t have much water

[royal crow]

It doesnt have much compared to OGR6

Logs
Do not count

Logs are everywhere in the game

[eternal talon]

do you want a summary of R6 lore, gameplay lore up to R6, or pre-apocalypse lore?

or transition from R6 to R7?

[eternal talon]

it is still the introduction to destination. the gameplay lore is the a whole hell of a lot more than previous rundowns

[worn rivet]

R6 is where we get our first look at the desert world of hell

[raw terrace]

me when the entire most important piece of lore is introduced on r6 but i mean it is pretty like obvious to remember

is a thing in a lotta levels

[eternal talon]

B6A108AC43 #4913 - “... are not clones. RISE uses existing genetic material, but the resulting…” - flagged

[raw terrace]

good enough

is the closest one word way to describe

even if by technicalities its artificial humans made through pre-existing adn

[eternal talon]

it also had more logs than most previous rundowns, combined

1-r3 had like, 5 logs total

r6 has dozens

also the new discord UI is ewwwwwww

how do i make it go back

[royal crow]

Okay did none of you had the old discord UI?

Its the same as i got like 3 months ago

Its not that bad

[eternal talon]

i had it until just this morning

[raw terrace]

idk i just see it has smaller things which dont make sense

[eternal talon]

now it is all weird

[raw terrace]

like whos writing

or the icons

as if to make it harder

[royal crow]

Welcome to the club

Enjoy

Youll get used to it pretty fast

[eternal talon]

everything is differently sized. it's wierd

i use discord on my second monitor

[royal crow]

Also you can use the all black theme on normal discord now (desktop)

[eternal talon]

i gotta relearn my muscle memory when dragging my mouse around

[raw terrace]

i will get used to it but angrily >:[

grr

[worn rivet]

I wonder what happend to destination after the teams final visits

[royal crow]

Nothing

It will stay the same for billions of years

Until a sun consumes it or something

[eternal talon]

for pre apocalypse lore, read the two "lore for dummies documents" (.pdf and .txt) in the pins of this channel.

(gameplay starts 2063+, pre-apocalypse lore is 2040s-2059)

for gameplay lore up to and including r6, it goes as follows:

R1: Quad assembled, gameplay starts, miscellaneous tasks and unlocking the part of the complex where rundown 2 takes place.
R2: Miscellaneous tasks until R2E1, where we obtain the neonatal unit for use in rundown 3.
R3: The neonate we collected at the end of rundown 2 was used as a storage device, like a biological hard drive. R3 has us proccessing the neonate so the warden can get the data from it. We leave it behind at the end of the rundown.
R4: Miscellaneous tasks. nothing important.
R5: (This is related to schaeffer's backstory logs, which are detailed in R6's extension.) Schaeffer was (as far as we know) the last surviving person in the complex that was not sleeperified or a KSO. His backstory logs detail his journey to KDS-DEEP (pre-apocalypse lore), where being chased by sleepers, he seals the doors and accidentally locks himself inside, entering hydrostasis to avoid starvation. Up until this point, the warden was working with eight thousand KSOs, those housed outside of DEEP. Inside deep, the main vault, has the other 24,000 KSOs, to a total of 32,000. All of rundown 5 is working to lift the lockdowns and make R5E1 possible, where the warden gains access to those KSOs.

[worn rivet]

hmm

[ionic dune]

wait does r5 or r6 introduce schaeffer?

[royal crow]

R3 technically

[ionic dune]

bru

going back to r3 then lol

[royal crow]

It's a log

[ionic dune]

what level?

[honest summit]

OG R4 iirc

[ionic dune]

shouldve said alt rundowns

[heady hinge]

Thank you guys for all this, very informative!

[royal crow]

C1 i believe its the first Scafer log

[eternal talon]

R6: (super deep lore stuff related to the matter wave projector and the ancient collectors, really requires reading the "for dummies" documents). We collect this malfunctioning alien artifact, and its data cubes, being shunted to the planet Destination several times. R6 has us working to gather the Genome Database (unknown) for the warden, but is sidetracked. In OGR6, schaeffer kills the conduit meant to communicate with him, and begins his rebellion. In ALT://R6, schaeffer listens to the conduit and begins to work with the warden. ALT://r7 doesn't exist because R7 itself is schaeffer's rebellion. ALT://Schaeffer didn't rebell.

[ionic dune]

pondering if i should speed to r3c1

[eternal talon]

this is one of the reasons why going from ALT://R6 to R7 is annoying. it doesn't prep new players, which would know nothing about gtfo's multiverse

they'd see schaeffer suddenly acting completely different to how he was previously portrayed

[heady hinge]

Yeah that's true

[eternal talon]

(because ALT:// and OG, while both canon, are different universes)

[heady hinge]

I knew most of this but thanks a lot for condensing it in a "chronological" way

[eternal talon]

R8 is the matter wave projector's malfunctions finally getting so bad it starts merging universes into a giant mess of spaghetti. You'll encounter both OG and ALT:// at the same time when you get there.

[heady hinge]

Oh so it's our fault that the membranes mixed together?

[eternal talon]

no, it's mainly the fault of Project Insight, back in the pre-apocalypse.

[heady hinge]

For messing with the Matter wave projector a lot?

[heady hinge]

Oh okay

[eternal talon]

they lost entire wings of their laboratories to fucking with the alien device

[raw terrace]

we rlly barely touched it, and when we did it was with the wardens eye over us so

they woudk kno

[heady hinge]

Yeah makes sense

[eternal talon]

they built the teleporters, the shell around the device, and a bunch of other things.

[heady hinge]

Thanks guys!

[eternal talon]

they were mainly responsible for researching the artifacts recovered and exploring the ship.

[eternal talon]

np!
feel free to ask if you have any other questions!

(would still recommend reading the for dummies docs tho if you haven't yet)

[heady hinge]

I watched all of Scaler's videos

[eternal talon]

those aren't really good...

[royal crow]

Scaler misses some stuff

[heady hinge]

Does that miss out on anything

[eternal talon]

all but one is very out of date

[heady hinge]

Okayy

[eternal talon]

and the most recent one skips a lot

and gets some things wrong

[heady hinge]

I'll read them then 🫡

[worn rivet]

All the computers/monitors in gtfo seem to run on bloody linux

[eternal talon]

it's good popcorn... but isn't something i'd personally go to if i want exact facts

[raw terrace]

i mean gtfo is lotta story so understandable, its 40 mins even skippin stuff

[royal crow]

Linux is the best OS

[eternal talon]

yeah, more than that, it is a massive mess at times, and full of plot holes/issues

we can only piece it together the best we can with the information provided, and clarifications from the devs on intent.

[worn rivet]

Like their all slow and have weird ass operating mechanics

[eternal talon]

it's a shame really, it is situated at the center of the butterfly nebula. the sky, at night especially, in r6d1, should be abso-fucking-lutely GORGEOUS

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap221121.html

like rainbow juice all through the sky and dust clouds

i suppose you could argue the planet's atmosphere is too thick for it to be visible, especially with the insanely bright moon.... but damn

#WastedPotential

[royal crow]

So bright

[eternal talon]

we had talks in the past if it was possible the "moon" was actually a dwarf star, but were inconclusive

[worn rivet]

That's beautiful

[eternal talon]

could be, more, is my argument.

images of nebula are just always so beautiful

and destination is right in the heart of one

[raw terrace]

i dont doubt they didnt do it cuz it would explode on optimization ir something

idk how skyboxes work

[eternal talon]

the sky should look like something out of Spelljammer

[raw terrace]

but destination was already like hurtin on release

[eternal talon]

skyboxes are literally just pngs

or sometimes gifs, if animated with clouds

its a box with a texture projected onto it

[raw terrace]

ah maybs idk, not sure how gtfo does it

[eternal talon]

like, here is an example of a skybox

pretty much every game ever uses this same method. unity included

unity actually has skybox settings build directly into their editor

its that commonplace

i'm not sure what you'd replace it with anyway

other than being perpetually indoors/underground

[raw terrace]

damn wtf

ok nevermiinds

[royal crow]

Why do you have an example of a skybox in your hardrive?

[eternal talon]

i just pulled it from google

[royal crow]

yeah that makes sense

Gtfo has so many logs, wether it be audio or text

And i figured out if i want to collect them all, it's going to take alot of space

[eternal talon]

well, yeah

there are over 200 total.

[thin surge]

188?

[ionic dune]

how much space we talking about?

[eternal talon]

i'm talking about both removed, current, and logs that were never in the game to begin with.

[thin surge]

or do you count the non-alt logs?

[eternal talon]

the steam achievement is innacurate.

all of these logs, while not accessible, are still canon.

[ionic dune]

frostty do u have the r6bx lore log? missed it when i was playing with frien (think it was the one talking about schaeffer and his friends

[eternal talon]

new players are SOL when it comes to these portions of the lore.

they must rely on community resources.

be it the wiki, the LFD, or people in this channel.

[thin surge]

I mean almost all of them are on the wiki

[eternal talon]

i would not rely on the wiki right now. I'm not allowed to say the reason why, but i'm sure an announcement will be made at some point soon.

[eternal talon]

which one? i see four listed

[ionic dune]

i think i know whats happening but i will also not be disclosing any information even if ive seen it in these chats

[ionic dune]

DM me all of them tbh lol

The R-Naught of NAM-V is currently at 17

was this ever updated?

cuz if not its about as contagious as malaria allegedly

[eternal talon]

i'm not sure.

keep in mind, that is also from 14 march 2053.

[ionic dune]

maybe they cured malaria entirely (also malaria is a parasite whilst namv is a virus so that prolly also affected things)

also was specifically looking for this log ^

[worn rivet]

Flame's could've been a soloution

[eternal talon]

from schaeffer's hideout?

[ionic dune]

yes

[eternal talon]

i don't think that exists in alt://

Just incanerate the entire place

lemme grab the og version

[worn rivet]

Might've done enough damage to the ship to trigger the things full defence systems

[ionic dune]

wouldnt that require too much fuel?

[worn rivet]

A mix of firebombs, napalm, and a few nuclear class weapons just incase would've been a semi good soloution

[eternal talon]

this it?

[ionic dune]

like if the BHP Group just started buying insane amounts of fuel, weapons and stuff like that people would raise some eyebrows

[ionic dune]

yea sounds like it

did not expect Dauda to be pronounced like that lol

iirc it's supposed to be pronounced [dow-dah]

[ionic dune]

i do it like its this lol [Dauw-dah]

[eternal talon]

au being pronounced together, like if it was in french

[ionic dune]

fair enough

my au is more like how australias is pronounced

and just slap a D before it

[eternal talon]

i mostly pronounce it french-like because of his first name, abeo

Do the other 3 have first names, or is abeo dauda the only one

[ionic dune]

i believe someone had a "common" english name

[worn rivet]

You have abeo dauda, hacket, bishop and woods. I'm pretty sure hackett has one

cause of irish

[ionic dune]

all of them do i believe, might be bishop im thinking about

woods is american right?

i believe someone was a matheus or sum like that

[royal crow]

Frank?

[eternal talon]

frank bishop

abeo dauda

[royal crow]

abeo or Dauda is common English name?

[ionic dune]

not what i thought of but apparently yes lol

[eternal talon]

isaiah woods

[worn rivet]

Woods is american, dauda is nigerian or a diffrent one, bishop i think is the irish one or the english one, and hackett is either the irish or the english one

[eternal talon]

aiden hackett

[royal crow]

Aiden is a fire name

[ionic dune]

Isaiah is also fire icl

[eternal talon]

isaiah is fittingly biblical

[ionic dune]

yea

[worn rivet]

Is this correct or am i wildly wrong?

[ionic dune]

wasnt isaiah one of the people that was with jesus or sum like that

the ten younglings or sum like that

[eternal talon]

woods is american. dauda is nigerian. bishop is bri*ish. hackett is irish

[ionic dune]

youre right

[worn rivet]

Yes, for once in gtfo lore i got something semi right

[eternal talon]

isaiah woods, yeah.

slaughtered a military base

[ionic dune]

that wasnt what i was referring to lol

[eternal talon]

the only one of us that was recruited to the legion program via normal means,

from a US prison

[royal crow]

Bishop best origin story

[ionic dune]

you good?

[royal crow]

Fucked around and found out

[royal crow]

I'm typing while walking

[ionic dune]

fair enough

[worn rivet]

He straight up went "you know what, lets fuck around" and then found the ever living feck out with not only his life but his sanity.

[ionic dune]

i only fuck around (at least with friends)

[royal crow]

Guys

Who is Bishop

I don't know any Frank Bishop

[worn rivet]

HEhe

[ionic dune]

the guy that blackmailed

the guy that stands in the corner of ur room

the guy that watches you sleep

[worn rivet]

he got identity wiped fully, like there's no evidence he ever existed at any time level

[eternal talon]

it's sarcasm because kovac wiped all of his records

[ionic dune]

fair enough

[ionic dune]

how did schaefer find him then in this log? #gtfo-lore message

[eternal talon]

misunderstanding-

[worn rivet]

Kovac files

[ionic dune]

oh i understand

rest of world didnt know

[worn rivet]

that's the only remmant of his very existence

[ionic dune]

kovac knew

[eternal talon]

he was wiped, as in, kovac had his SSN wiped, birth certificate, etc, yeah

he was made into a KSO

[worn rivet]

that and the massive text file of kso's we've got access to

[eternal talon]

indistinguishable from the rest

[ionic dune]

yea

[eternal talon]

Interviewer
To be clear, Mr. Bishop, there are no records of you. No records at all... anywhere.
Bishop
What does that mean?
Interviewer
There is no Frank Bishop, born in Lambeth in 2001 to Sam and Evie Bishop. There is no record that you joined SSIC as an intern in 2017, or that you worked for them for 10 years before attempting to blackmail your boss with sensitive information that you had gathered from spyware installed on multiple executive laptops.
Bishop
No, listen--
Interviewer
There is no record of you being posted to Valencia, nor is there a Frank Bishop listed among the missing or captured foreign workers.
Bishop
You tell him I got rid of that info, okay? Tell Davies I made a mistake, I can see that but just--
Interviewer
Mr. Bishop. You don’t exist. You never did.
Bishop
I’m gonna speak to Davies. Take me to him.
Interviewer
Guards! (Guards step in) This one’s for the Legion.
Bishop
No! (Guards restrain bishop) No, no! Take me to Davies!
Interviewer
You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Bishop. Your ordeal will be a distant memory soon enough.
Bishop
Tell Davies I'm coming for him! Tell him I'm fuckin' coming for him! (Bishop is taken away)

[worn rivet]

Simple, perfectly horrific yet oddly fun

[ionic dune]

yep

[eternal talon]

you can hear the panic in his voice.

[ionic dune]

yep

[royal crow]

Nahhhhhh

Thats an actual fire meme

[ionic dune]

yea got that in my last level

[royal crow]

Post it on media

[ionic dune]

i downed hacket, bishop rezzed

[eternal talon]

him and henriksson would be best friends.

We got it!

Son of a bitch!

And now, you’re a ghost, Henriksson.

#gtfo-media message

🙂

[eternal talon]

i mean, unironically. both are programmers. bishop wrote the code for the santonian industries website.

[ionic dune]

im a programmer

(made one website in css (if thats what thats called) and html)

[worn rivet]

HEHe

If only og schaffer didnt start waking

[ionic dune]

OG schaeffer a vibe icl

from what ive heard

[eternal talon]

sociopath, but charismatic.

[ionic dune]

like a good murderer should be

[worn rivet]

Sociopathic and murdered two of the only semi morraly good people in gtfo

[eternal talon]

less smart sociopath, and more influential caveman.

[ionic dune]

i mean more of the hatered is funni

[worn rivet]

And is one of the reasons alt team dies

[ionic dune]

bruh now i wanna retract my statement

[eternal talon]

i finally got the helmet btw

[ionic dune]

the hacket helmet?

[eternal talon]

no, mammoth darkeye v-drum

the single-color.

not lemonhead

[royal crow]

Lol

It was one of the first helmets i got

[ionic dune]

icl i dont know the clothing names

or genuine gun names

[eternal talon]

i remember a few. s870 is the pump shotty, named after the remington 870

but that's mostly because i love shotguns

[royal crow]

You don't know the Matalatck LX Assault Rifle?

[eternal talon]

hanaway DMR

mastaba fixed blade

[ionic dune]

uhhhh

no

🥸

[eternal talon]

it's funny because the buckland looks nothing like an IRL 870

[royal crow]

Future

[ionic dune]

It'S tHe FuTuRe

[eternal talon]

wood-stock shotguns don't really ever have rails.

[royal crow]

Also thats a small ass barrel

[eternal talon]

and the double length magazine tube is just... wierd.

[ionic dune]

dont shame it, its really average

[eternal talon]

because it doesn't even have that much reserve

if it was realistic, it'd be at least a 12

but it does look shortened

just another thing unlike irl.

[worn rivet]

fire weapon

[royal crow]

Yours is probably small too

[wanton moss]

Shorter barrel cause moving a field gun in combat would have you smacking walls and other shit all the time.

I have a full length 28" Benelli Nova and that thing is a pain in the ass to maneuver at the range

[royal crow]

Imagine having shotgun

[wanton moss]

Realistically a shotgun that short, built for it's purpose of killing things fast would also probably have a giant muzzle break at the end to divert gases and make follow up shots a lot easier.

If we're being realistic

[gray bone]

I mean sawed off also follows that logic

[wanton moss]

This is true

I have no argument with sawed off

mostly because i can't imagine ever using one. Recoil would be horrible.

[honest summit]

I dont know much about guns, but some of the Google Images do Check out

Idk why is the quality so low

[eternal talon]

870 tacs are still way bigger than the 870 in game. Maybe it's just a feel thing, but these are heavy guns.

[eternal talon]

I don't get people's obsession with not only sawing off barrels, but stocks in media and games. Single handing a shotgun like that'd absolutely kill your wrist.

The sawed off in gtfo has such an awkward model, I couldn't even begin to imagine firing it irl

[raw terrace]

we got gamer wrists

[eternal talon]

firing 20 gauge, from this thing? not for long you won't.

this gun is just asking for you to make a mistake.

[raw terrace]

skill issue
maybe that's the lore of robohand

[eternal talon]

KSOs can get away with it, 1: because they two-hand it, and 2: because they are drugged out the ass

[eternal talon]

if anything i really like the lore implications behind sharp teeth

makes me think of Julio's death in Tremors 2.

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzZ_muzLubU||

(entirely unrelated, but tremors is fucking peak in the realm of monster movies)

3, 5, 6, 7 are kind of mid-to-ass, but 1, 2, 4 are probably some of the best ever made. genuinely

(all but the first are direct-to-video, so expect sy-fi quality cgi)

1 and 4 are entirely practical fx tho

2 only has a little bit of cg

[honest summit]

Would explain the prothetic Hand

[eternal talon]

yes, slendo said that.

i'd tentatively agree

[honest summit]

Oh yeah, didnt read everything lmao

[eternal talon]

good ol' Kovac PRO-CAR elite

[honest summit]

Ngl is Sad that we didnt get the Nyxon torso

Or whatever it was called

[worn rivet]

gtfo has a lot of guns

[eternal talon]

nyxon? like the phone company?

Nyxos

[worn rivet]

So you would say it, ny-xos

or nyx-os

[eternal talon]

nix-ohs

[worn rivet]

huh

[honest summit]

Same thing

Was talking about this one

Too Bad only the legs Got added

[ionic dune]

id say Nysos

[worn rivet]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1282403421189570621/1322231249506533497/3.gif

[royal crow]

hmmmmmmmmm

2 holes in the torso

[honest summit]

Nyaksos :3

[raw terrace]

:3

[wanton moss]

Even though 20 gauge is “small” I would agree. Usually shotguns that short nowadays shoot something like .410, but because this is GTFO I just assume that sawed off uses 12 gauge 3.5” magnum shells, because screw Dauda and co.

[tough wave]

Tbh even if you shoot 20 gauge shooting 4 in succession repeatly with nothing but your wrist would suck

[eternal talon]

i'm just judging from the size of the shell casings, it is either 20 or 12, and i would hope to fuck it isn't 12, as you said.

[wanton moss]

Lets delve into the best ammo to use against sleepers lmao

[eternal talon]

isn't that just dragon's breath, no question?

they can survive with whole limbs removed, so you'd want sustained damage

anything incendiary would probably be the most effective

this game should've had a flamethrower

[worn rivet]

Either dragons breath rounds to do sustained damage against them, or high explosives

[royal crow]

I heard war crimes

[worn rivet]

For maxium damage

[royal crow]

Isnt using Dragons Breath a war crime?

[worn rivet]

Yes

BUT, kovax is already doing warcrimes anyway

[eternal talon]

and anyone can own a flamethrower, with no restrictions in the USA

they aren't even classified as weapons

[eternal talon]

do war crimes count if they aren't at war?

[worn rivet]

Yes, the genava convention applies anywhere and it's listed

[eternal talon]

to whom? kovac isn't a state/government entity

they are a private corporation

[worn rivet]

It applies to anyone and anything, not just people.

[eternal talon]

you wouldn't try a mountain lion for war crimes though

[wanton moss]

Yeah but Smokey the Bear might come for your ass.

He’ll post a billboard on your lawn

[worn rivet]

Their animals and doesnt have it applied to them, Kovac still have a list of warcrimes

[eternal talon]

unironically the national park service and firefighting companies use the overwhelming majority of flamethrowers in the US.

they're used for controlled burns.

[eternal talon]

you said "not just people"

what the fuck would that else apply to?

[worn rivet]

Do you want the theoretical list?

[worn rivet]

People, organizations, countries, diffrent terrostic groups

continets

[eternal talon]

good luck arresting Australia

the continent

[wanton moss]

Furbies, Duada

[worn rivet]

Oh god, dauda alone has so many

[eternal talon]

dauda is legit like 1940s german doctor

[wanton moss]

I actually believe that. I know Herman Miller, a furniture company nearby me does it every year.

[eternal talon]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-long-list-list-infinite-list-gif-7915371

[wanton moss]

Richtoffen? Lay off the sauerkraut, man???

[eternal talon]

he'd have a list like this:

[worn rivet]

Like probably in either the 10s or hundreds

[royal crow]

Your country is a circus

[worn rivet]

maybe even the thousands.

[eternal talon]

i agree.

[royal crow]

How is owning a flame thrower legal

[eternal talon]

controlled burnings, demolition, etc.

a bunch of things outside of killing people

[royal crow]

For the average person?

[worn rivet]

You just need a flame, gas, and a propellant.

[eternal talon]

over 80% of the continental united states is rural.

[royal crow]

If i did that shit i would be in jail in seconds

😔

[eternal talon]

there are a shit ton of forests and not a lot of people living on the majority of the land. controlled burning is neccessary to prevent wildfires.

[royal crow]

Yeah i understand that

But You are telling me

A normal normal person

Can own a flamethrower

Just because

[eternal talon]

yes.

[royal crow]

Amazing

[worn rivet]

Perfecto

[eternal talon]

you don't even need to go to a store. you can just have one shipped to your house from online.

there are zero restrictions

[worn rivet]

That totally isnt a warcrime like at all

[eternal talon]

they are viewed as tools

[worn rivet]

Tools if used right

[eternal talon]

no different to a hammer, pitchfork, lawnmower, or weedcutter.

[worn rivet]

Except their slightly more dangerous

[eternal talon]

with as many guns as there are in the USA (1.5 per person on average, including children) nobody is using flamethrowers to kill people, i promise you.

[worn rivet]

OH for the love of god

[eternal talon]

in places like california and southern orgeon, its practically required with how dense the forests are.

you need to maintain your property

the usa is huge

driving from coast to coast takes ~3 days.

[worn rivet]

3 days is a lot

[eternal talon]

all of that land, i don't have the exact stastics, but the overwhelming majority of the US population lives in the top 3 cities, with 84% total being in urban centers.

the rest has very few people.

its very spread out.

[worn rivet]

Oh, that could burn down so easily

[eternal talon]

you don't have people to manage it for you.

[final scarab]

not if im the one driving

[eternal talon]

like, hop on google earth and just look around anywhere in the middle of the USA

its nothing but flatland, forests, and crop fields.

or on the east side of the rockies, pure desert.

[wanton moss]

Mr. Loremaster I’m convinced you are the only other person here from the US. Or at least, the only vet that I occasionally talk to.

Personally I think a regular person owning a flamethrower is kinda crazy but at the same time we let people but AR-15’s with just the pass of a background so…

I they’re responsible enough to not shoot people, surely they won’t set them on fire.

most of them.

[eternal talon]

I'm not a veteran... I'm not sure where you got that impression. I grew up in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere and have a lot of relatives that hunt, and own a couple shotguns.

I have veterans in my family, both army and navy, police officers too.. but I'm nobody special in that regard I'm sure.

I just grew up around guns and personally like shotguns. I have a mossberg 500 and a savage stevens 20 gauge

[wanton moss]

Lmao wrong vet, bro

Like a GTFO vet 🫡

Thank you for your service

[eternal talon]

I've been playing on and off since ogr1. I skipped ogr4 and 5, and haven't really been playing since alt://r3 came out, baring r8 ofc

The lore and universe interests me way more than the gameplay

[worn rivet]

The orignal/alt gtfo teams sounds like the start to a bar joke.

[eternal talon]

what do you mean?

[honest summit]

Shaeffer, Shaeffer and Conduit walk into a bar

[coral gorge]

the barman says:
Im sleepy

[eternal talon]

Cudix? wtf?

[coral gorge]

Its a me

mario

[eternal talon]

impostor.

[coral gorge]

wait

[eternal talon]

cubix is the real

[coral gorge]

why the hell

am i cudix

what the fuck happened

[honest summit]

Oh no

not the Alt Cubix

[coral gorge]

Wtf

did someone change my nickname here?

can you even do thatv

[eternal talon]

mods can

[worn rivet]

A nigerian man, a british man, an american man, and an irish man walk into a bar

[coral gorge]

Have i been la trolled

[eternal talon]

i recall them changing beanz' nickname a looooong time ago

but nothing recent

[coral gorge]

Huh

well then the alternative is im schizo

or im an impasta

[eternal talon]

you can just change it back, you know

[coral gorge]

i know

ill do it in a sec

[worn rivet]

from there everything just burns

or is dead

[coral gorge]

The bar goes up in flames

[worn rivet]

The two teams are really effective at killing stuff in gtfo.

[eternal talon]

well yeah. it's an FPS game

[worn rivet]

Like even in lore, the pure amounts of the many varietys of sleepers/mothers/tanks/snatchers we must've killed is impressive.

[coral gorge]

The perfect squad(s)

I suppose

[eternal talon]

now i want a narrated r6c3

[coral gorge]

Ah yes

[eternal talon]

like, fully narated run

[worn rivet]

Each and every one killed with either a blade, a blunt object, or a gun.

[coral gorge]

”insert screaming, yelling, asking what does the timer do, and also suffocarting” R6C3 run

[coral gorge]

ill forever wonder how can we blow something head off with a knife

[honest summit]

OG Shaeffer going like "Uh...what button do i press? fuck it, lets press all Starts a surge "

[worn rivet]

The augments, wether it be psycholigcal or technical or genetic

[honest summit]

more importantly, how can you instakill someone by slapping their ass too hard

[eternal talon]

The quad dropped into the refinery, hitting the ground running.
Bishop leapt through the air and cleaved the lock off of the door.
Hackett ran through and prepared his Burst Sentry.
Woods slid forward down the slope and placed a mine on the security door.
On the count of three, the door was opened, with a bang.

[coral gorge]

Well
We can actually test that one

[honest summit]

so, you want Minecraft narrations but in GTFO? dear god

[worn rivet]

That would be bloody sick.

[coral gorge]

i suppose that would kinda make sense
Still seems super hard tho

[honest summit]

cmere @cold sphinx, i gotta test something on you

[worn rivet]

Us with just pure guns alone, can kill a fucking kraken

[eternal talon]

i think this was a conversation at one point, the strength of our KSOs with all of the boosters, drugs, etc we have in our systems.

i do not remember the result

[worn rivet]

We should be dead similar to if the cod zombies crew drank the real perks, the stuff in them would kill you fast and effectively

[honest summit]

would be funny if lorewise all KSOs have every single booster equipped at once

[eternal talon]

we know they pretty much always have at least two, in every expedition/assignment, even pre-apocalypse.

as to drugs, it is unknown.

[worn rivet]

I think a kind of stimulant has to be at least one, maybe along with it a kind of steroids for the sheer strength we posses

[honest summit]

pure coffeine

[eternal talon]

what for the stamina?

(not mechanic, but sprinting with sledgehammers)

endurance, probably a better term

[worn rivet]

Staying awake/being able to run for that long while carrying heavy ass shit/stamina

[eternal talon]

even caffine can't keep you going when you are empty. you'd just crash

[honest summit]

healing factor, since we can always heal up to 20

[eternal talon]

another very weird thing, though i'm not entirely convinced that isn't just game mechanics.

[honest summit]

think about it. we cannot die

[eternal talon]

i mean we can

sleepers don't kill us because they want to sleeperize us.

[worn rivet]

Yeah that's a good point even when outnumbered heavily we just go down, even in the death screen

[eternal talon]

we are always left down and injured.

[honest summit]

you cant die to falldamage either

[worn rivet]

Our screams go on for seemingly forever

[eternal talon]

they could easily finish us off if they wanted to.

hell, a giant could probably tear a dude in half.

doom style

[eternal talon]

now that def is tied to being down a mechanic, and not making a seperate "death" state for fall damage.

[honest summit]

what if it was like the spaghetty dimension

jumped into the R6C1 hole? tough luck lmao

[eternal talon]

that is particularly what i am thinking of. we didn't have big fall damage like that until r6.

[honest summit]

yk now that i think about it

how can we sustain damage to a point we have boneshards in our spit, but still carry on like nothing has happened

ig it could just Hackett being Hackett

[worn rivet]

Ahh, adrenilene

[honest summit]

but they do still feel pain

[eternal talon]

some barotrauma medic BS

morphine, saline, bandages, for any injury!

[ionic dune]

if there was a gtfo movie id watch it icl

[oblique torrent]

Same

[worn rivet]

It'd have to be like movie one of like 15

[ionic dune]

Id say that it could do r6-r8 without a biggie for being a 2 hour long movie (or three)

[worn rivet]

Or 16 cause you'd have to have alt team's perspective on r1-6 and their part of r8, then og teams perspective for 1-7 and their half of r8

[oblique torrent]

I'd watch them all

[ionic dune]

same

[oblique torrent]

I was thinking about it earlier, a GTFO movie would be so good

Even if it wouldn't do super well in the box office because it's not a huge game

[eternal talon]

or they could do a pre-apocalypse story, set in the universe, but unrelated to gameplay events.

[worn rivet]

Or a set of films about the teams backstories, each and every one is somekind of diffrent. A war torn action film for one, a medical psycholigical horror for another, a small scale office set one for another, and a mercanry one for the 4th

[wanton moss]

Pertaining to the wow factor of our quad, just think about the amount of shit we carry in a mission. Two guns fully loaded with like 3-4 extra mags (depending in gun), a giant hammer, plus a big ass autonomous sentry (the most ridiculous of the tools obviously). And then while in the complex we find big bags filled to the brim with loose bullets, bombs, or first aid shit. We carry one of those, and then at some point we find a giant trip mine or like a 4 stack of really powerful fans. Might as well slap those on the vest somewhere too.

Let’s not forget the armor plating we are potentially wearing and we have a big ass back pack to store stuff, or maybe it’s hydroponics for a super duper cool flower.

And then imagine being the guy, with all that shit, ends up carrying the fog turbine.

It’s like 200+ pounds of stuff.

These guys are monsters.

[ionic dune]

Don’t forget hazmat suit

[ionic dune]

It’s just drugs tbh

(And prior training)

[wanton moss]

Oh yeah on top of that they have to wear that damn mask and worry about their goggles fogging up.

[ionic dune]

The amount of sweat built up

[wanton moss]

It’d feel so gross

Oh and imagine the pressure constantly on your face!

I get annoyed wearing safety glasses for 10 hours a day

[ionic dune]

Yea

I’m good thanks lol

Rather die than doing that for weeks

[eternal talon]

how much do you think this plate carrier would weigh on its own?

(it is standard on dauda, iirc)

[wanton moss]

I guess I was thinking about the kovac armor I wear with the hexagons cause they look metal lol

[eternal talon]

dragonscale?

[wanton moss]

Maybe like 5-8lbs? I don’t really know kevlar well

[wanton moss]

Yeah that one

[eternal talon]

bro, the kds-ray proto-cage is the worst offender
who makes a backpack out of solid steel?

[raw terrace]

it make energy :D

[eternal talon]

ah, yes, solar panels, underground

[raw terrace]

hey
we sometimes go out

let's see how laughs last when i take the proto ray cage on e2

[gray bone]

It looks like someone thought an armored backpack looked cool

[wanton moss]

I think the kovac vest I’m wearing has ammo pouches on it for like rifle mags or something.

Anyhow, Dauda’s vest once filled with ammo is gonna’ feel heavy real quick

[bright sphinx]

Video game logic

Only people to pull it off correctly are v1 from ultrakill (it stores the gear in its wings) and thats it lmao

[wanton moss]

Maybe Doomguy in the newer games you could say his weapon wheel is some kind of like portal to another dimension, which is where his guns go. You know, by way of doom magic or something lol

Sounds better than shoving 14 guns up his ass.

Ratchet & Clank the guns shrink into like tiny shapes to be safely stored.

Loremaster what’s the lore reason we don’t have a weapon wheel 🤷‍♂️

[oblique torrent]

I'm wondering if the menu where the weapons and tools and stuff is selected is Biocom deciding what needs to be taken into the next mission

[eternal talon]

I don't have one.

That is more of a dev question

[raw terrace]

wardeen smh

[wanton moss]

Oh like the loadout menu?

That’s actually a cool thought.

[royal crow]

It does make sense

[wanton moss]

Honestly I’m glad we don’t have one. Weapon wheels usually means we have lots to choose from during a mission. I feel like that would take a lot of thought out of the players’ gameplay.

[worn rivet]

Each gtfo character is a diffrent flavour of insanity

except some mix

[raw terrace]

wood religious, dauda sociopath, hackett sociopath, bishop british

[worn rivet]

And you cant forget their all psychopaths/most of them have killed people before.

[raw terrace]

not rlly, bishop doesnt seem very psychopatic, just extreme or appasionate but he defo doesnt act cold or calm before tense situations

and we dont know if he killed people

we just know he survived on a civil war but lord knows how

[worn rivet]

Other then the civil war part, he's the most normal one, the rest though it ranges from maybe to yes

[raw terrace]

the rest we absolutely know killed people

but i think only hackett would beee psychopatic, maybe woods?

idk its kinda hard to tell

[worn rivet]

Woods heard the voice of god, massacred an entire village of civilans and non combatants, went on to do other horrific things. Hacket yes. And dauda's more of a sociopath

[raw terrace]

dauda i dont think its a psychopath based on the fact that he has no ego like at all and tats big on actual psychopathy

and he seems generally more just mysterious than no remorse and stuff

considering he has had nightmares and was deeply reomrsed when he entered his HSU

[worn rivet]

Yeah he's an odd one

[raw terrace]

sociopathhh iii idk i still dont see that on class lol

woods is more just dellisional or tbh he could have the mandate of heaven considering he guessed his fate right twice

[worn rivet]

The other's you can semi tell with, but dauda and bishop is the two hard ones

It also changes alot depending if it's pre or after kso conversion.

[raw terrace]

rlly i think it does cuz with KSO conversion what happens is just they get fuzzier, memory wipes n shit
so if anything it woullld not change the illness but soften it or make it more apparent

as it's hacketts that he just seems so relaxed at every single thing that happens

when i graduate i'm gonna i'm gonna make a thesis of their illnesses kfmsk

[worn rivet]

Yeah, they get alot of memory loss but notably start to exhibt alot of diffrences compared to what we see of their pre kso versions. Such as hitting themselves on the head, being oddly calm about almost dying alot, and being okay with what they do.

[worn rivet]

Hope it goes well

[royal crow]

What are you studying?

[raw terrace]

me when i read ur mind

[worn rivet]

No one in gtfo is even a semblance or shade of good, they're all pricks who will betray you at a moments notice

[eternal talon]

their = it belongs to them
they're = they are
there = that thing you are looking for is over there

[worn rivet]

Thank you for the grammar correction.

what was the conversion of time from destination to earth?

[royal crow]

85 times slower

[raw terrace]

it wasss like one second is 85 then?

in destination?

[eternal talon]

Stokes -> It's not a relativity issue. This is a calculable change in the quantum frequency. Durant's time was running faster than our time. And not by a little - by a lot. Back of the envelope math is1 second in our quantum frequency is about 85 seconds in Durant's quantum frequency. I mean I
[4.4 second silence]

Durant -> We have located the vegetation capsule we sent through three days ago, but it didn’t survive the jump. The capsules must have popped open during transit, the plants have been exposed and withered away to nothing. Although the soil in the capsule is bone dry. I prepped these plants myself and when they left my lab, the soil was saturated. And even in this environment the plants should have survived weeks but they look like they died months even years ago.

[raw terrace]

it be then :D

thank u gamer

[worn rivet]

[worn rivet]

So what I'm gathering from this, destanations time warping is fast as feck like 3 days on gtfo's version of earth is more like months maybe years on destination

[raw terrace]

:D

[worn rivet]

Hmm

That could be used for alot of things

disease testing, plant growing,

blood

[worn rivet]

Diffrent kinds of flame testing, trash removal, disposal of bodies.

Disposal of weaponry

[eternal talon]

any of you guys into creative writing?

[royal crow]

I guess?

Im writing a story for a videogame i'm making

So yes?

[worn rivet]

Yes I am

just why?

[eternal talon]

Let me guess...
any holes a goal?

[wanton moss]

I write. Or used to a lot. Story I'm working on is like 360 pages or something? Still in the first draft phase.

I'm huge into scifi action/horror

[worn rivet]

I wonder what level of kinetic force it would take to break a hsu

Cause at that point, you could figure out a rough estimate for the tanks strength

[eternal talon]

What do you mean?

[tame goblet]

R4D2 tank room

[eternal talon]

the HSUs were opened, the tank didn't crack them open.

the HSUs opened, gasps for air ensue, tank wakes, angy mode activated

[ionic dune]

😔damn

Woke up on wrong side of bed

Also we had this convo some diff time but shouldn’t it have been coughing up that liquid?

[eternal talon]

piss and shit.

amniotic fluid

[ionic dune]

Oh yea

[eternal talon]

that conversation

@royal crow 's favorite

[ionic dune]

I was just gonna say smth

But

I’ll spare you the bleach

[tame goblet]

give proof

[ionic dune]

I haven’t seen the room but if I’d guess the lack of damage on certain components could be proof

[eternal talon]

can't.

absence of proof is not proof of absence. the HSUs are entirely intact, even the open ones. Occam's razor is what i'd follow in this circumstance given the lack of information in general regarding the zone.

[ionic dune]

Kinda what I meant that the hsu seems to not be ripped to shreds

[tame goblet]

Lack of damage is down to the devs modelling the assets back in 2015 with a dev team of 7 people. There's just no lore behind it.

[eternal talon]

true, but they also made unique models for the corpse piles for that zone that appear no-where else in the game.

[ionic dune]

Why would the tank attack something that’s not making any considerate noise and which isn’t moving?

[tame goblet]

Yeah got no clue. Think they just did it for aesthetic reasons

[eternal talon]

for something like this, i don't think we were meant to look at it too deeply personally, which is why i say with relative certainty that it is as is face value.

units were woken by the warden, tank was in the zone, yada yada.

the warden fucked up.

didn't know the tank was there, or whatever else

[ionic dune]

Is it just me or is there not cams in gargantua?

[eternal talon]

there are not.

[tame goblet]

Because they never modelled the camera lol

[eternal talon]

but realistically there would be, for HEARSAY reasons.

like bathrooms, dorms, kitchens, etc, just didn't make the cut.

[tame goblet]

Yeah, they're only going to model assets that actually add to something. Who cares about a camera?

[ionic dune]

Yea so that would make the warden fucked up thingy more possible

[tame goblet]

It's doing nothing visually

[ionic dune]

The non-interactive pc screens🤷‍♂️

Also could argue that it does add smth

[eternal talon]

unironically i would have loved if they focused way more on levels, rather than going the procedural generation route.

[tame goblet]

That's environmental though. Like Datacentre needs SCREENs

[eternal talon]

even if that meant less levels total

[ionic dune]

Fair enough

[eternal talon]

it is the details and minor things i adore.

[tame goblet]

I think Procedural is fine but they F'd up on not having enough custom tiles.

[ionic dune]

But also having cams watch over prisoners would also be considered environmental no?

[ionic dune]

Yea it is kinda copy paste imo

[eternal talon]

still, taking 5-6 months for a new rundown when modders could have done so in a week, especially with 10cc having a full dev team... is just bad.

[ionic dune]

I swear modders always do stuff like 10X quicker than dev teams usually do

[tame goblet]

Yes, it took 9 months from R5 to R6 BTW. Creating a fun and interactive level can be done in 3 days.

[eternal talon]

i'm sure sam knows this by heart. they've made many rundowns

hell, i've only made one and I know this

[eternal talon]

this is what i mean. it's lazy.

[ionic dune]

🤷‍♂️I don’t know anything about game creation

[tame goblet]

What let GTFO down was the lack of development and the WAIT between rundowns to the shitty payoff

[ionic dune]

HTML/CSS is the most I’ve ever coded in and that was one poorly made website that I ChatGPTd my way thru

[eternal talon]

if you are gonna take that long, GIVE ME RANDOM POOLS OF BLOOD, ABANDONED / BROKEN THROUGH DEFENSES

[tame goblet]

Wow I waited 7 months for R5 and all I got was fucking floodways and a charger scout

[eternal talon]

modders don't have access to dev tools. we only have the datablocks and plugins. our stuff takes longer to develop than with what the devs have

yet they are still infinitely slower

er, i guess were at this point

[tame goblet]

Ulf abandoned GTFO mid Rundown 2 or some shit

sooo

[eternal talon]

source?

[ionic dune]

Sauce?

[eternal talon]

what the hell would he be doing for 4 years

[ionic dune]

Chilling

[royal crow]

DoW

[ionic dune]

Being Swedish

[eternal talon]

for four years? it isn't even in early access yet

[royal crow]

Game development is a long process

[eternal talon]

gtfo released into EA with one rundown. six levels.

[tame goblet]

It was ages ago, but only like 10 - 15 people have been working on GTFO since R3

The other 85 past R6 went to DoW

[eternal talon]

they don't have six levels in 4 and a half years?

[royal crow]

Games go over rewrites, reworks, ideas, art styles, story writing, etc

[ionic dune]

Cyberpunk moment

[ionic dune]

(Also doesn’t engine creation take a while)

[royal crow]

They use Unity

[eternal talon]

isn't it still unity???

[ionic dune]

Oh

Nvm then

[raw terrace]

i sort of doubt dow was being actively worked before r6, considering by r5 they barely had even money to fund gtfo

less even for a new game

[ionic dune]

I thought they’d use a in house developed

[eternal talon]

hahahahahahaha

no

[royal crow]

That takes a shit ton of money and time

[ionic dune]

Bruh allow me😭🙏 I’ve heard a lot of games that do that

[royal crow]

Experienced programmers can take 5-6 years easily on making an engine

[tame goblet]

BARELY? They made like 10 million off GTFO in the first 2 rundowns

There were financials

[ionic dune]

Yea but net is diff

[royal crow]

10mill is honestly not a lot

[eternal talon]

they sold diapers and barf bags

[tame goblet]

10 mill split between around 10 devs tho

at the time

[royal crow]

Did they kept only 10 devs?

[raw terrace]

why did 10c get bought by tencent by r6

and why did r6 was such a jump from r5

[tame goblet]

THat was mid R5

[raw terrace]

in terms of its scope

[eternal talon]

i think they were already owned before

[raw terrace]

yes

i meant before sorry

[royal crow]

Btw Tencent bought Ubisoft

From what i heard

[eternal talon]

ubisoft hasn't had a good game in decades

[royal crow]

And they sure still wont with Tencent

[ionic dune]

Assassins creed been ok, same with watch dogs imo

[royal crow]

Tencent is a cancer

[tame goblet]

I have no clue why they took the loan from 10Cent. All I know is that they had A LOT of PROFIT from GTFO's inital release for the first few rundowns.

And now, their financials are shit

they burn 30K a day

[raw terrace]

is there a page u see this on

some financial thing webpage

can u share it

[tame goblet]

Yes, Michal sent it to me. I'd need to find it.

[ionic dune]

2023 MASSIVE LOSS

2020 massive gain

[ionic dune]

10 million usd

[raw terrace]

how comes 2020 gained so much when r6 1.0 had such a massive spike of players

the biggest gtfo has ever had

and didnt it go up in price by 1.0 too?

[eternal talon]

yes

[raw terrace]

2020 had, r2 and r3 i think

financies confuse me

[ionic dune]

Depends when they used money

[raw terrace]

i guess so

[tame goblet]

Free weekend

[raw terrace]

2020 didnt had a free weekend did it? nor 6.0

[eternal talon]

also right around the time markiplier covered it
