we helped them focus on their powers instead of them going 110% constantly
Aoi strained herself and lacked the knowledge to use her abilities, with the tenno’s assistance the protos do fine
Outside of that the tenno are not at risk of using the frames
they still are human after all. but warframes for me specially umbra has the worst thing in becoming warframe
They just didn't have practice yet
but we somehow move in past before their death. thats mean we as drifter can control time and jumping to past?
Nah not bc they're part human still, I mean they're literally in pain bc the transformation is actively changing their body on an almost molecular level
yep that's the only power we mastered whilst in duviri until we found teshin via lotus's hand to finally break the cycle
1999 is in a loop, drifter took control of it
Kinda reminds me of metal gear rising
still you survive. warframes are mindless puppets to control
They're not mindless, just calmed :)
tell that to umbra at first meeting. sweet guy
Yeah he's literally different from other frames
He can't be calmed
im not surprised he was forced to kill his own son.
I dunno, I always assumed that the copies we make are indeed mindless.
Unlike the originals.
And then forced to keep reliving that memory forever, preventing proper calming
I mean the entire quest is about doing that but due to his situation he’s much more difficult
Well, it's confirmed by DE that the sword break in tsd isn't transference...
Huh, when, where?
In some reddit qna as usual
How long ago?
I don't remember
Man, there should be a wiki page that just compiles random info dumps like this.
still i think warframes are somehow avilable to feel but still most mindless puppets. they dont speak or move if we go out from them. and i dunno about copies. umbra was copy remember he was killed and we just created him so even copies has memories and anger
I just want to check the source. Not that I think you're lying, but it's always nice to see the original.
Orokin archives should have a page for "random massive lore drops from reddit"
If the copy we made was mindless our built frame wouldn't have had the motivation to break the sword
Yeah, but Umbra was also special in the way his memories worked, so it's hard to take him as an example. Jade, on the other hand, did have consciousness until we cloned her, at which point she stopped exhibiting any sign of sentience (other than idle animations).
Again, umbra is extremely unique
Umbra had a burning memory that was his motivation
Stalkers was Jade and the child
Umbra was a forced example of what happened with Jade, Kullervo and any other frames that retained sapience
Our frames was us in danger
Kullervo had his crimes
Ballas forced that memory into umbra's transference bolt, which gets replicated by the foundry due to being part of the bp
Yeah, well, I always believed it was the Operator who subconsciously moved the frame via the powers they forgot.
Of course, now I'm told it was confirmed that it was the frame, so my argument regarding that is null.
Dante likely would have been fine
How
They were being choked out
Also I don’t think it’s been confirmed at all
I thought that said chonked... I shouldn't be watching tv and talking here at the same time
It just doesn’t make much sense for it to be the tenno when they were being attacked
We lost control of transference when strangled through our frame, I doubt we’d be able to use it while being directly strangled in a weakened state
You misinterpreted
yeah but we cant ignore this is still a proove that warframes feel something
What the hell :(
How am I supposed to simp for voruna when I subconsciously associate her with you
Scene would've been less of shocker to Hunhow if it was us because he had the whole no purpose no sense no self line
?
The confirmed thing is it not being the operator's doing
It wasn’t confirmed at all, no?
Like what had caused it
If it was confirmed it wasn't Operator it sorta confirms it was the frame
Nobody else was there at the time was able to do it
I remember seeing some reddit qna screenshot confirming it
So if that’s real then it’s confirmed it wasn’t us which just aligns with what I said
It being the frame itself makes the most sense considering the prior dialogue
Hunhow saying they have no sense no self
Then the frame proving him wrong
Yeah, well, I always believed it was the Operator who subconsciously moved the frame via the powers they forgot.
Of course, now I'm told it was confirmed that it was the frame, so my argument regarding that is null.
Specifically because they were being chocked was why I assumed they controlled the frame. It wasn't a conscious thought - they didn't remember how to do so at the time, after all. No, it was, in a state of emergency, a subconscious push into the ability they once had that they could no longer remember, which only during the War Within do we properly re-learn.
Of course, once again, it's apparently has been confirmed that it is indeed the frame and not the Operator, so my theory regarding that was rendered null and void (to my chagrin), so yeah... Still have to find this reddit QnA, seriously DE, please stop placing lore bombs in the middle of nowhere.
It was us, the players
No, it's truth
~~Gonna get called Void Lugger if you go to the Cathedral with Caliban or Revenant
~~
Truth crime?
Oh we're back to War Within positing. I still think the frame did all the work, and then we took over once it carried us out.
So the Duviri fragments....is there supposed to be a codex entry for them? i see the ones for Isleweaver. but not the spiral
Look for "island fragment"
Alternatively, visit acrithis in the dormizone, the console next to her has the fragments
I dont believe its been confirmed at all
Its still open to interpretation granted some people's interpretation are wrong like a guy thinking it was somehow adis that caused the frame to move
HUH?
my favourite lore, <@&778745217037238293> you know what to do
How dare you be faster than me! >:(
Mods, feed this bot to the helminth
Hm i feel like its more the warframe having a bit of sentience still
Not as much as much as umbra
It's just us, the players, reaching through the screen to backhand Hunhow
Did you believe tiktok was limted to only bad power scaling scrap you fool
Thats also my take
yeah id say there has to be a minute amount of sentience retained otherwise the infestation would probably decay trying to stay sustained within the chitin armor plating
Narratively that makes the most sense as imo i believe that scene was supposed to be a build up to the sacrifice quest
Getting us the players to ponder about what exactly our warframes are and why the seemingly suits of armor snapped a sword all on its own
For that to then be explained in the sacrifice quests especially considering it was supposed to ship with the ability to make all frames like umbra but wa scrapped for idk
Stalker is a full warframe and has his own mind still.
So was jade
Yes, but we knew about Stalker well before we knew about Umbra or Jade.
They're not there. even in the dormizone. the entire header isn't there
Kullervo technically too, if im not mistaken
it could even just be since the ones we pilot are copies upon copies of the original any form of notable sentience has since been mangled to where it can only do short bursts of movements
Yea?
well they removed sentience with the second generation of warframes
Rhino had sentience
I wonder if Helminth is Gestalt hivemind of the warframe subjects
But certain ones have a bit more
Not-quite-rhino did
And the only thought in there was "hungy"
True
Should've had a snickers bar smh
Though it's pretty clear that Stalker forgot he was a warframe himself, never knew the Tenno weren't warframes until Hunhow told him, and was rather surprised when the Operator's warframe moved on its own, thus making him question who exactly was responsible for the demise of the Orokin...
rhino 🤝 grendel
both being hungy at one point
Rhino and Grendel in a pie-eating contest.
Rhino is just using his charge to push more pie into grendel
As an aside, I think that Karissh approached Ballas with the idea for Grendel, because he wanted a warframe that memorialized or 'honored' him in theme.
Which would give extra irony to how the Executor died...
Fatty-eat-fatty world
Or some highlander type shi
Shoving it down grendels throat while gauss is taking 50 photos
@stray dove
- Orokin don't use transference for continuity
- Tenno are long after the first orokin
- The orokin long arm and blue skin are both just cosmetic surgery
I really do like the art but my lore brain obsessively has to correct stuff
It's a problem
1-- Old Peace spoilers || the protect the carriage mission implies that if an Orokin's body dies, they are authorized to Transfer to the next available host in case of emergency. || That's sort of what sparked the idea of "sort of died".
2-- Yee, the idea wasn't that the Tenno came first, but rather a "the Temu version of it" more or less lmao. Same idea, but worse execution.
Continuity works by using red kuva to put the orokin conciousness into the yuvan, replacing their conciousness completely
Transference is a much kinder version
That is a solid concept tho
Might have to consider it for when/if I write my own tenno's lore...
Some of the stuff I've been seeing with the 1999 Quincy dialogue is that through our chats, we get to chose what happened to our parents on the Zariman.
Mainly how they die but yea
Which, also sorta sparked these ideas. One of the lines in particular was the Drifter musing that everyone who "changed" into the Angels were adults with children.
-# in computer terms
-# Continuity is like hitting 'replace' when copying like-named files between folders
-# Transference is like emptying the folder first and then streaming the files into the folder
Angels are specifically void-copies of the memories of dead crew corrupted by the ship's reliequary drive
The current batch are
We actually can't say the same of the originals who mutated during the original accident
Thinking of why that could be, and in the Isleweaver stuff with the void angels and uhhh.. orb gather missions (my brain wants to say voidplast)-- Tenshin mentions how the Angels are trying to rip holes so their master can breech into Duviri
in the Undercroft.
Did any?
It sort of lead down a bit of a thought-tunnel of "why were the children spared" and "why is the Indifference making an army of Angels?"
And, if we made a deal with the Indifference, what does that make us?
Transference, very importantly, is a consensual thing
Tenno CAN be kicked out if the host is unwilling
Just because
Wally is a cruel prick
Yee, but the dialogue in current quest uses the word Transference specifically, which sparked my brain a bit.
Which helps contrast it against continuity
At least, I'm pretty sure.
Or, it's something like "I am authorized to use Transference for the Continuity" etc etc
id imagine maybe hypothetically the orokin initially used the transference system as a way to 'test drive' the selected host so they could get a feel.
-# but in typical orokin fashion that was phased out quick
"Be aware that I am authorized to perform emergency Continuity to save Orokin lives, and you are the only potential Yuvan in the vicinity."
?
AHA ty
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a fad like AR gaming.
And then in typical Orokin fashion "but wait we could have someone else do it"
i mean with roathe's kim convo || you learn that Continuity was initially a ceremonial event, but it eventually devolved into a cult like system where instead of being 'chose' people offered themselves to be chosen, along with the age range slowly lowering to what we as the tenno were told later down the grapevine||
-# if a lore aficionado could check that for me and make corrections, that would be appreciated
Yeah the Zariman ARG clips have the narrator talk about his wife mutating into a void angel right as a Tenno void beams her
on the note of Angels and the like, the design is a fractil but it also reminds me of English Scrollwork engraving. Maybe it's the just material being a metal medium making that mental connection but:
Especially because some of the sharper bits look very similar to the negative space in the spirals
You have mixed things up a bit
Was always ceremonial. Started off cult-like, with adults offering themselves up willingly because it was an honourable duty (IIRC there were still volunteers sometimes but idr the quote).
But then younger volunteers lied about being older, like teenagers lying to enlist during war, leading to the age limit eventually dropping and dropping as they began to care less
And then an Executor realised it could be used as a threat: the risk of Yuvans being forced into it instead to discourage rebellions
At some point the collection for the threat became the standard, and rounding up children for auction became the norm
thank you, i knew i was a bit off on some parts, mostly because i skimmed through the chats to get the correct vibe for the best response for bonus chem points
What exactly is sentient energy/ tau energy?
the void has alot of fractal design
because chemistry doesn't go down
and it isn't the apology that did that, it was the action you were apologizing for
yea, you admitted to liking entrati just to get close to her
There's a way to glaze Entrati and still get with her
Yeap, def Wally messing with her
https://fixupx.com/shieldgating/status/2008315965147131960?s=46&t=5XSoAshUqsO-YG_gq2tB3Q
No I was trying to get close to Roathe instead
I did say I don't believe Albrecht belief
The joy one looks beautiful
the argument convo just leads into the Day2 convo. the [text you got](#lore-discussion message) there is set by confessing feelings during the argument
During that time I was lyon but somehow get that
unrelated but thanks for the text format
also Roathe has stop texting me
is this normal?
No
I have another possible Idiot Question
Standing next to Daughter Entrati, her ear buds are playing PoYL. Is this a Cute Easter Egg, just that On-Lyne's music survived the length of time, or is this meant to imply she Knows Things?
On-Lyne's in the infested hive
the song could survive to get to her
I am seriously confused on the order of things being released in this game because why is the orowyrm just chilling in between the two objectives in the citrine mission?
I think the orowyrms were just an easter egg there at the time
iirc the orowyrm that can show up in that void tunnel (and the one when you're travelling w/ the railjack) were teasers for duviri
but its just because of being in the void that they can show up
yeah, U32.3 was Citrine's Last Wish, U33 was Duviri
A new frame was added during a decimal update?
mhm
voruna was too, 32.2
Citrine came before duviri?
I really hope that they had a Crusader frame during the inevitable devils triad part two
aaah true, it's basically the Gravemind's own google drive. Copulation yea girl, pirate that feces.
Gods, I always forget the narcbot.
what the differnece between the necraloid and the loid?
Technically Vallis undermind is a decimal update
I think
tbh citrine's is funnier because she didn't even get a card on the launcher
One’s a cephalon and one’s a dude
One is a brainclone of the meatman in a robot I'm pretty sure? Someone talk over me if i'm wrong
that's basically the current understanding i believe
but necraloid was made in image of the original loid? or i am imagining things?
But a Cephalon is a glass version of an actual person isn’t necraloid an entire entirely new conscious?
Cephalon’s can be uploaded into sentinels
Necraloid is a copy, of some sort
whether a clone was glassed or not, Loid's skull was replicated for it
But how is there a loid cephalon if loid himself is still around
Because of cloning?? Which we’ve said 3 times already ?
they can be ´´transfered´´ to a body. like ordis, he was just that blue thing ´´like´´ a AI, that was ordis completely but after some event he was put inside that new body we see.
though Drifter said that it prob not a real skull
My msg got delayed bc of internet ok
Rip
"Dante shared the Entrati fascination with bones. I was content to let him explore our old burial vaults and ossuaries, but his request to examine my own replicated skull was a step too far. Otherwise his manners were impeccable."
copied from loid? and who did that?
loid, yes
albrecht, based on some of the new KIM chats
then necraloid isnt like a ceph?
He is, but not created from real Loid
either it a copy of Loid mind or from a clone
but ´´based´´ from loid.
-# Marie: Firstly, of whose designs are these, "Necraloids ?" Of which they are a name and also, perhaps, a designation ?
-# Drifter: Entrati made that one. But the concept of what they are - Cephalons - was invented by the Orokin.
-# Marie: Excusez-moi, do you mean to imply that le Cardinal made a replicant flying skull servant in the likeness of his own companion, and named them thusly ?
let make it into simple way: do you consider Grineer isn't human just because they are clone?
i mean, biologically they are human i suppose. but generally, i would consider them human at some point.
and Necraloid still a cephalon even though he just a copy of og Loid mind/clone of Loid
but how did albrecht copied loid mind?
all we know is that a skull was replicated
if it was a full clone that got glassed, or some other method, is unknown
though Ballas did able to transfer Margulis memory into a robot
It's looking good now but I swear to God if tagfer pull any bs I'm turning him into a thanksgiving dinner
Then I will feed you to the Wall
What did tagger do 😭
Outside of "Apparently Cephalons can be made without destroying the original person", we don't know
what Roathe's convo is that
He got mad at Marie and Marie got mad at me and me got mad at tagfer
Don't remember, just search "non-destructively" in the Kimulacrum and it'll show up
is it confirmed that it was a skull, but we dont know if the necraloid skull is the original one?
Well Loid original is still standing right there
i though the process needed to destroy the original or is it just a preucation of orokin to make the person suffer more?
Marie: And Monsieur Necraloid told me that it was "his" skull, though he admitted Monsieur Loid was the "original." Monsieur Loid interjected to tell me that it was a "replicated" version of his own skull.
How roathe end up being upstairs with entrati family
Roathe convo confirms it's not necessary. If it's used as a punishment, safe to say the people doing the punishing don't want to make a clone of the criminal.
thankfully.
Fashion
sometimes i think if the person who made the lore is either crazy or dont sleep at night. there are many dark facts in this lore...
Orokin we're good at fashion frame?
I mean look at their drip
I will spend everything in my pocket for Ballas signa
Some of them look great but ballas looks like he came out of the shower
they consider themself like gods, and they must think that gods have the drip, so they need to be beautifull too.
But the new ballas design is great
also spoiler question: ||how can I unlock the Loid "united" with Entrati family scene?||
i think u need to buy the things to reunite the family, idk with who npc from deimos. i can be super wrong tho.
Probably max out entrati and cavia probably
And probably finish the whole Kim conversations
Finally Marie is helping with loid units with entrati family
W roathe
I maxed both
the only thing idk is the convo
all of their note said that they will help
I have to max cavia too?
nah (i think)
Oh cool cause I've been panic grinding for entrati standing cause I didnt know I needed them maxed
Entrati prob needed maxed
not probably, its definitely needed
oh ok
Max everything, leave nothing untouched.
Honestly for peace of mind, you should just max out cavia anyways
||why tf would loid go upstairs while his Albrecht's animals are literally dying||
I can't wait for Hunhow to come back to the story again.
I like his voice, along with Albrechts.
I love his satire voice when he saying "friend' to the drifter
Do warframes have personality?
Yes
My goat lavos can canonically Manifest ego, that bum inaros distorts
their idle is proof + some warframe lore like Mirage, Yareli shown that they have their own personality
KIM chat talks about how they retain mannerisms, abilities and such
So it's probably safe to say that a chunk of their personality is in there
what is Mag personality btw, the real Mag, not Volt
We can only really read the body language of her and since shes an early frame her idles are a bit basic
yeah that's my point, early frame need new idle
Excal is like edgy swordman while Volt is like electric mage
tbh Volt is basic too
a lot of the early frames have really basic idles
its kinda funny if you look at the speargun animations for them, because those were obv made later
and tome too
I wish there were more tome weapon
tbh i'm not sure what they could do, other than adding more direct grimoire variants like noctua
they could act like speargun too, pure support weapon
even as a dps tome could work too, for example, if you charge the alt max, it will shoot out beam for a certain duration
although this sound like Incarnon
Amd stalkers incredulous look at him
im gonna tell you more
a lot of the early frames straight up have the same or barely edited idles
mirage has generic idles, criminal for a frame like her
that doesn't surprise me tbh
nekros has default idles but theyre edited for his arms to not move
its a good thing that her deluxe has great idles, then
i feel like thats why some of the deluxe skins have idles
Mag is another frame that has "generic" idles
only her speargun is unique
Probably why they included them for free lol
Anyone else think about the time loop that the drifter created when helping Kaya and Flare?
well, I thought about it, reasoned that its not a time loop, nor a paradox and went about my day
You help flare, flare follows kaya to the future, flare helps you during the whole war before you went to bed, then you do all your tenno stuff up to 1999 and help flare.
Something something eternalism
flare wouldn't make a massive impact on the naga drums, though
i'd imagine their presence goes largely unnoticed in the.. well, everything else going on
Even though flare didn't really make a big impact, it's still interesting to think about how flare is effectively stuck in their own endless loop outside of 1999
but its not an endless loop tho
once flare makes it to the night of naga drums theyre not coming back
its a one way trip
Yes, but then you go back in time to help flare after flare helped you, then flare sends you the message they're going to the future to fight during the naga drums.
but thats not a loop
Then when the great new year reset happens, they're right back in 1999 to do it all over again no?
flare isnt in a loop and neither are you
Ok, so getting stabbed through the chest, pretty sure that kills you.
But since Hunhow and Ballas had 1 respawn each, ok fine.
Also, Angels of the Zariman wasnt as hard as I thought it would be.
only 1999 is in a loop
the flare that leaves that loop never returns
^
huh?
before you ask about kaya, she specifically comes back to fix the loop
"You can't kill the devil, tenno, but you can send it back to hell"
yea normally, but you're not exactly normal in that situation either
and that loop is kinda out of time anyway, the timeline still flow normally outside of it, means all proto will eventually succumb to the strain
pretty sure Kaya unlocked the ability to go back and forth in time, like how Drifter can also go back and forth in time (even if mechanically a bit different)
THISSS. She kinda has dialogue about being back in the loop after her future endeavors…
New War, Ballas stabs us in the back and through the chest.
Thats dead dead in my book.
Initially, ripping the War Blade apart, where Hunhow was inside of, was a nice and original death.
And Ballas was stabbed (but at least he had the whole weird monologue thing while we were stalking him)
Each is basically a respawn.
And we got stabbed through the back... And survive
hunhow wasnt in the blade
the blade was just a fragment of hunhow
True, but come on, lets make death count for a moment
But we didn’t even die
Also, I feel sorry for Stalker even more now
like the pinky toe you touch at the start of the quest
So how is that a death count
And more angered at Ballas. Like WTF man?
Of all the times your operator "dies" in the mission by being shot, stabbed, and hacked to death, what makes you think being stabbed like that would kill you?
you are stabbed... from the back, through the chest.
no medical attention, nada, nothing
We didn’t die thou
That’s very clear through the entire new war storyline….
We were sent into a loop. We didn’t die.
thrown into the void
well, drifted, i suppose
Yet still scummed to a certain loop style
if youre talking about Al shooting us, i thought that was honestly more of a metaphorical representation.
So those were actual headshots? Also, how am I supposed to deduct that when I had not experience it yet? The only time I witness us dying was that (and the Duviri ones where it was all too psychodelic to discern where real begins and ends)
that is true, that is ok, that one gets the pass
but otherwise, alright
drifter dies once or twice? in the duviri paradox quest
then gets shot in 1999, causing them to restart the loop
he was dying endlessly, but i saw duviri as a representation of continuous trauma nightmare
as in, its a self infllicted sense of punishment for survivers guilt
Duviri was very much real, a place the drifter willed into existence into the void.
oh, no, they actually died all those times
thrax did order their execution, and the day looped and brought them back every time
as in "What if my psychological damage was given form" and duviri happened, and then well, we escaped it (thank god)
Sweet Merciful you know who
Duviri is a storybook about how to control your emotions during a void jump (because the void makes you go insane and kill your kids apparently.)
and thats why i thought it was more of a symbolism for trauma and overcoming it
but.... dang, poor Drifter
yea, operator got war and cryosleep, drifter got executed thousands of times
** SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT **
The Tenno's personal timeline has been disrupted. Knowing he cannot kill the Tenno, Ballas has opted to imprison them within their own history. The Tenno will be unable to escape this loop without the paradoxical intervention of an outside force.
Continuing to monitor.
With the assistance of Hunhow and the Stalker, the Drifter has fought back against Ballas, destroying the Archons.
The Tenno has been freed from their recursive timeline and now coexists with the Drifter.
And still manages to keep his rational mind... i mean, i cant picture getting stabbed endlyless and coming back whole
The drifter was scared because of the parents going crazy cuz of the void wanting a safe place to escape to. They went out and willed duviri into existence, then got executed a bunch cuz he wanted to leave.
Dude, his life is like Daredevil then, but a million times worse
ugk... So with that said
What the operator goes through on the mini-zariman segments during the new war is also what the drifter went through.
yea, they split at the deal
Wally... is he... basically the Void willed into being becuase the Orokin were sucking the energy out of it? I still need to do the next quest, but when Wally said "they butcher" I immediately thought "the orokin again? Come ON!"
yes that i get, hes basically operator but not being saved, hence duviri
wally's "creation" or "discovery"
whichever
is detailed mostly in albrecht's requiem notes, stored in the weird room at the back of the necralisk, with necraloid in it
thanks, gonna check that, right now with Angels wrapped up, illk make a point of it tomorrow.
not sure if they require entrati family and necraloid to be maxed to access, or if they all unlock with whispers still
IIRC that was a bug that got patched, they do require syndicate progress now even after Whispers.
They didnt will it to be but yeah
if i may interject
she used duviri
huh
she uses drifter's void travel as a lighthouse to guide her
she uses the same mechanics of duviri and the void that allow the drifter to exist across timelines iirc
so, like the drifter, she both is and isnt in the future
like how the drifter both is and isnt in 1999
she's just hijacking our void travel iirc
drifter is just in one or the other
she utilizes the mechanics
what?
what mechanics
duviri is just part of following us through the void, not much of anything else for her
The Drifter isnt both in and out of 1999, theyre able to just go when and where they please between the present and 1999
I can access them?
W neutral necraloid standing too
It just says you need it, but for some reason, you dont
So the Old Peace is done, again, it's all the Orokin's fault.
I think now i remember why Wally ticks me off so much. He reminds me of Gaunter O'Dimm, albeit less visually violent on screen.
Yes, its a different perspective, but the enormous grin, the appearances whenever it wants.
Rap Tap Tap - That... Ok, that I didnt expect (also poor Rell)
I'll have to dig into what Wally is with more detail, but right now... Im just calling Space Satan
Is there like a list of stuff that exists IRL with a Warframe equivalent
E.g
- Terminator Series
- Robocop(?)
- Half Life (not even as an equivalent, just as it was irl)
- Warframe (The Game, not warframes)
- Back to the Future
wdym warframe equivalent
you mean like something that exists in warframe that is based heavily on something irl?
like Robinhood being Loxley instead?
Yes
Like we know a version of King Arthur exists, Popol Vuh, possibly even Chinese Mythology (depending on what Wukong and Nezha were based off of)
And there are many media references
Idt theres a list
you mean references and homages?
I only included references there but also myths, stories and historical events/people
Off the top of my head:
Vidja
Metal Gear Solid all over. The "Snaaaaaaake" Game Over scream when the Necrabot dies. Arthur is quite honestly Jet Stream Sam (Not sure who came first tbh, but Arthur looks like Sam just with Gray hair)
Again, Gaunter O'Dimm seems to be drawing parallels
Religion & Culture
Judeo-Christian Monotheism: Uriel, Angels, Devils and honestly everything in between
Asian Myth: Lotus, Wukong, Teshin. How you sit as reverence, the way you hold certain swords as a katana. The game at the beginning seems VERY inspired in Asia but switches.
Programming and Computer science
Erra is clearly referencing the word Errata, or error for short.
Psychology
There is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much referencing the dream.
Trauma
Overcoming Trauma
And the side effects of trauma
Oh
Anime and Manga
Full Metal Alchemist - Again Wally and his ENORMOUS GRIN. Also the fact there is a "wall" and FMA heavily used the iconography of a "door"
Movies
Universal Soldier - Bringing back the dead to fight for you.
Star Wars - I mean... I joke about it all the time, but Umbra is basically Darth Vader to me.
Vauban was the name of a successful French military general in the 18th century iirc
Excalibur is well the Excalibur sword
Kullervo was the name of Finnish folktale who have a similar story as kullervo ingame (framed for crimes and punished)
Dante is the name of a scholar/writer who writes the divines comedy
Probably more out there
It’s not really in the game but Protea got internally labelled as an “odalisque”
Styanax as well with the whole spartan with shield and spear thing
So far the IRL things that are seemingly unchanged:
Gordon Freeman and Half-Life (cardboard cutouts + posters in the mall)
Alexander the Great (Lettie's line in the backroom compares Arthur to him)
Lettie's gods are ones that were worshipped IRL
Amir mentions Jeopardy - ("I'll take Kicking Your Ass for five hundred, Alex.")
Amir mentions Dracula - ("Go at 'em like Dracula at a low-cut top.")
Digital Extremes exists, but it's based in Höllvania and it's a lazy, money hungry company that tried using Techrot to make games for them.
Rebb Ford is an OnLyne fangirl
But parvos only has a thing for sisters
Is there a vampire in the game? Because we had space zombies.
We have ghosts (angels)
Also, not sure if theres a Frankenstein Warframe. Theres a ton of Cyborg Grineer, but actual stitch together frankenstein;s monster
Kentucky, Texas, and Mexico all exist at least as styles of pizza
Wait. Mexico and Pizza?
Xaku is technically a Frankenstein in the sense that they're made up of multiple dead Frames
revenant and garuda both kinda fit vampires, in different ways
closest thing to a 'frankenstein warframe' would be xaku
It’s pizza with “Mexican” toppings
Garuda is more Asian though, Thailand has the Garuda in a TON of government seals, its not really a vampire. Its an Anthro Eagle
Also India has a bunch of Garuda symbols
revenant has the thralls + being undead, garuda has the blood
garuda has a ton of different sources for her inspiration tho. Hindu diety of the same name is one of the main ones, but she's also based on a shrike
ah so it encapsulates multiple entities.
Ok, cool. Well off to grinding then, those fists Loid has arent going to make themselves
Oh, that Alexander reference is quite interesting. Amir truly being a fountain of references
Part of me really wants a quest set in the past ( not really important when exactly, just pre Orokin) but geographically in Asia or maybe even where Cetus is
That explains get design
wait sorry but I somehow forgot? why do we want to go to Tau, whats the reasoning here
just looking for albrecht ig?
So Parvos is Jafar and Protea is Jasmine 
Lotus implies that we are also looking for a healer Sentient like Adis, but doesn't explain why.
Yep, his plans is to stop Wally, so we follow him there.
I think she also wants to know exactly what happened on Tau. Her goal of finding Albrecht slowly became curiosity too
Ballas tampered with her memory too so it makes sense that she does not know the details of Adis’ death
Also, she is paranoid about Wally tampering with her mind, and she probably just wants to get rid of it
There seems to be something on Tau Albrecht really wants to get. No clue what, im not even sure he's there. The lotus mentions that the old peace had something to do with finding him "the only way to find al-(brecht)" is what lotus said, but theres nothing really in that quest that showed us anything about Albrecht other than he had a pool in the basement of the basement
We learned Operator can swim and drown too

“Tau is in sight” that his clue for us
I mean Ballas did try to go there during New War
Though now I'm realizing that: if 1999 and Old Peace are happening at the same time, then how OP or Lotus know Albrecht said this to Drifter?
Presumably The Hex Part 1 has already happened
Oh I see
Though Drifter has yet to come back after part 1 though
Only at the end they transfer through one of the Vessel back
They also could know about Albrecht going to Tau because of Loid just knowing it’s the next step, or it being on POM
We knew that since PoE, we can't swim without our floaties (archwing submersible)
so it canon that Koumei can speak japanese https://fixupx.com/shieldgating/status/2008487909075325094
Wonder who the VA is. My guess is they maybe got Alpha Takahashi to record these lines when they had her for Aoi?
or the singer of Koumei theme
I've heard another theory that the Lotus also wants to find a way to regrow the Tau flowers and use them to fight off the Indifference's influence in her mind trying to take over
Talking with Eleanor about alien life.
Is she trans? Or did I understood it wrong that tentacle comment
She's talking about her tongue
I like this interpretation
Also, since that convo with Elenor, there's a kind of flashback with the drifter with the Hex around and then they are connected with some kind of void link. wtf is that
i'm scared i'm doing something bad. I lose the link between Eleanor and Lettie i think
You really only see it either during the cut scene of her cutting it off before almost killing Lettie or during the New Years kiss scene if you date her (it's very long and squirmy)
You literally cannot fail the hex dw
i remember that. i didn't expect she call her tongue a tentacle
I mean it kinda is tbf
im starting to hate lettie a lot and it's just a pixelated character
Yeah shes very irritating sometimes
That's you unlocking the true ending to 1999
wut. i have now all connected except Amir
Then go get amir to like you
Just make sure you rank up the hex syndicate too
If they get the connections they're already high enough but ye, should max out the syndicate
That could be a reason
And she probably homesick too
Her tongue is literally a tentacle
It’s not even a comparison that’s LITERALLY what it is
I understood the linked thing now. Basically all went "Liked" and that little cutscene happened. It was a bit odd cuz Lettie was still Friendly, same as Quinn but when I finished all the conversations they went up to Liked
They all vibe with you now
So "The finale" is like the true ending? When you repeat the new year mission and such
Yes
yeah koumeis VA is Aoi's same goes for her theme
they had her in a stream before
Yes,trusted, close and bestfriend exist
FYI loved is basically equal to best friend (it's the max rank, just for up to 2 people only though)
Techrot Encore spoilers for the Roundtable
||There's also Associate, but that's a bad ending max rank for the Roundtable||
well, ||veliminerva ||specificly
Hm
I wonder why Varzia has silver armour
It probably isn’t silver but silver gilding
Hm
Makes sense
Also since Itzam was a Summulyst
Do you think he would have been able to create Choralysts?
Yeah
Makes sense
I guess he just wouldn’t want to
Hrm
Maybe the Choralysts would have individuality too..
They shouldn’t because they’re still connected to a “greater” Sentient which Itzam might be since no Lyst in name
Itzam's full name, Itzam L. Yst
/j
I mean the lyst thing is sort of just used to denote TYPES of sentients to be fair
They’d probably get individuality if Itzam gave em xenoflora
Another thing could be is Itzam the one creating them then calling or is it say Hunhow creating them then Itzam calling them
Huh
Are we told if the Sentient type creates them
Could just be calling them
Like we can call Air support but we didn’t physically create who actually comes
What
I don’t even know what you’re saying anymore
I was only referring to how the “lyst” part is just to denote what kind of sentient a sentient is
Like a subspecies
Itzam can be a Summulyst and still be Itzam
They’re saying are we positive that some types of sentient, like Itzem’s type, are creating the other Sentients themself or are they simply opening up a portal in their gut to call the others to show up
Taxes
She gets the knowledge stored on them
This may just be nonsense, but there were a string of letters and numbers on the Veselek pistol skin that my friend sent me a screenshot of. Do I think its intensely lore-relevant? No.
But I could use the help decipering it. I'm at a 76% ceetainty on what the texture reads tho.
I think that's it
But I can be wrong
Ah. What I sorta saw was.
N2 2-12 MIL.2-23-601 1XQ0PARA
Made in Libertatia you think? Or nah?
I may be a bit late to the lore party but I just had a revelation: we know that the Gotva, Galariak, and Sagek Primes are the first prime Grineer items, and by technicality Protea Prime and Velox Prime are the first prime Corpus items because of Parvos and Ballas' collaboration to make her
Ohhh
Technically it’s more of an “Orokin weapon used by non-Orokin” kind of thing
Hello! Sorry for what maybe seems like an obvious question but is there a list of warframes and their lore anywhere? I’d love to read up on them and their back stories
most frames have no direct lore sadly
those that do are often either just their dedicated quest or their Leverian
Dang that’s a bit disappointing. But thank you for letting me know
I mean Excal has a codex entry
I would suggest the wiki if it was reliable with lore
I wouldn’t say it’s most frames anymore
Which technically isn’t true anymore
It is
Yes it is
Nothing in the codex entry has been changed
Neither Arthur nor Umbra are the original Excalibur if that's what you think
Nah
I mean like
The “Excalibur was the first” thing
Right?
Maybe I’m just misremembering people getting corrected about misconceptions
That’s still the case
Nothing has been changed about that
I know a lot of people got held up about it
we even see in Ballas' Vitruvian what is presumably the first Excalibur mutating
Maybe I’m thinking of people thinking primes were first
That’s the one bit of lore DE never change
yeah a lot of people assume Prime means exclusively Oldest/First
And yes it’s the Prime thing that got changed
it's likely that some original frames got Primed, but
Some started Prime
Some earned it
the relation between the Prime and Base can vary from frame to frame
To be a prime Warframe means either they were made to be an elite offrip, earned the title of prime and was upgraded into one, or did a based and became prime themself
Lavos decided to be the exception to that rule
So until an exact individual lore is given for that frame specifically, there's no assumptions we can make
Lavos being goated as usual
tbf the Orokin were never gonna Prime the alchemist Lavos
they would hate him
Lavos and Revenant truly just looked at Ballas and decided to defy everything
More like fear him
Same thing tbh
the alchemist, no
the prison warden, probably at some point
Is the running theory that the Unum primed Revenant?
yea, his prime armor mentions her
Ballas being salty over it
Ballas moment
The worse thing is the fact Ballas sees Warframes as his children
One theory is that it's sorta her making a "what-if?" of the Warden's original Primed mody with the Revenant's Eidolon powers
I don’t think he sees them as his children
I think he uses the father term in more comparison to creator. Kind of like how Oppenheimer is the “father” of the atomic bomb
I still think Warden was a title rather than the frame name
Ballas is the “Father” of warframes
oh yeah, we just don't know its actual original name so
technically "The Revenant" is also a title, it just became its name now since its original name is forgotten
-# though it is a little funny if "Warden" was the proper name given that "Warden" is also what totally-not-ballas is named in duviri
DE when are we getting the Ballas frame
A frame with the sheer dramatic energy of Ballas
Does he get the long arm
He clearly should get the long arm as an exalted
Infestation probably removes the long arm when the flesh takes over
Infestation hates the long arms
Ancients have it
unless designed to keep it, i suppose
the question is if ballas would give one of his creations such a thing
I wonder why Roathe didn’t have long arm
Then again he was probably on the front lines
Probably because he was on the front lines and actively combating
We know Albrecht didn't have it so it's possible Roathe didn't either
Long arm might make it harder to fight yeah
Cuz the Uriel strain didn’t have a long arm
and yeah Roathe might have been Continuing so much he just didn't bother
And Orokin can easily modify their bodies
“Oop, going to war, I need my war arm.”
Would a longer arm really make it harder to fight?
somewhat impractical i think
though it could be adapted to
I mean
It’d probably be slower to move maybe
That's more of your reach that's not a weapon, so kinda makes you a bigger target
Usually you’d want even arms for balance and stuff
So having one big arm kinda makes you imbalanced for more intensive movements along with being an easier target
Also would probably make you more noticeable
“H m, that one has a long arm, must be the one calling the shot.”
Well the blue skin is already a giveaway on the one calling the shots
I’m going by the assumption of them being armored up like the other soldiers and all that

Immortal but not invulnerable and all that
Maybe he was in a tent commanding the troops rather than always on front lines
No he was out fighting
Nitokh was the one in the tent
Roathe was a strategist and commander but he was also a soldier
Isn’t that bit of an issue then considering his other role?
Continuity usually removes the risks of permanently dying on the battlefield
True
Usually
Roathe had plot armor to make it that long without getting obliterated from existence at some point
Guess there is emergency continuity
Probably
Where it’s temporary revive like when Ordan started swinging
Also a lot of people seem to forget but. Those longer arms come with equally longer fingers. Aside from looking really freaky those would just in general be really impractical for combat, even with custom designed gear to account for it
Like you think “oh yeah it makes sense they’d have longer fingers” and then you actually look and pay attention to them and it’s like. Damn
I'm good with my normal hands thank you
But I'm of the opinion maybe he altered his arm as needed? Battle time? Normie arms. Stupid pompous ceremony nonsense? Sigh better put the long boi on
Arm to leg ratio is what matters.
Too long, then yes
Born in an era where you can freely body mod yourself
Right? Like dress uniform. Best show up to the pompous nonsense with the longer arm even if it annoys you

Perhaps its showing their warped sense of arrogance and excess. Ego over function.
He's a politician, to the core.
Their being the society at the time, of course, not necessarily Ballas and cohorts.
There is; Roathe tells you about one incident. And yes, Roathe was on the front lines.
so all this narmer thing with Pazul being a Ram archon using Erra's body being the masterming while The snake, owl, and wolf are minions, made me think of Zootopia
ok so real question (kinda nsfw) ||but how do protoframes have intercourse? i ask because its heavily implied that the drifter has said relationships w their romances from the dialogue w eleanor, lettie and others||
We dunno. Quincy implies they still have their bits but despite all the nsfw-adjectent crap going on in this game, I severely doubt we're getting an actual explanation
im asking because it feels so weird. ||arent their bodies infested?||
No
We know they definitely won’t be able to have kids no matter how hard they try
yea, helminth injection n all that
My drifter is oblivious and my protoframe is freaky
That one should be plain as day, yes
hows that?
which makes it all weirder i guess
Jade was already pregnant when she got infected and the Infestation was basically blocking the baby from coming out
ya think?
Eleanor and quincy being freaks all time
i mean isnt marie body 90% frame
Littie, aoi are chill
mhm, definitely
weird. eleanor says they could have little babies
Eleanor was more flirting than being serious
theyre all chill unless u flirt w em
Which one is that
lettie
mhm... makes me wonder if its possible to cure them, after all. drifter and their romance deserve a happy ending.
As far as we know they're screwed
unlikely
helminth's whole thing is subsuming & transformation
what if they find a sentient like adis?
Rare
i mean, he was capable of ||ressurrecting the operator||
Lotus can heal i think
the limits of the healing adis does are not known
and we know the sentients are countered, at least somewhat, by the infestation
rare indeed, but i think thats the main plot of the Tau questline we'll be having
Each sentients has unique powers (some of them)
yea, not sure if adis's healing could do anything for a warframe, or a protoframe. they're being transformed on a molecular level, basically
too early to say, i guess. if they can ress someone from death itself... who knows
They aren't dying from being turned into a Warframe is the issue, so healing likely won't do anything because there's nothing that's damaged.
but maybe they could restore their bodies to their original state
that's what i was trying to get at, just couldn't find the words, thanks
It only heals the damage not cure the infection
Big "could", and not why Lotus would want Adis for anyway
Or someone with a power like Adis's
That's why she mentioned "our kind"
ik lotus most likely ||wants to heal herself since shes being affected heavily by the indifference||
They’re only countered in the way of how the infestation are one of the few entities that the Sentients can’t overwhelm with tactics
Aka
“These things are annoying, let’s just let them keep this place.”
still, im optimistic about the protoframes future
Given Flare basically gave up trying to find a cure, doubtful
If anything
Sentients can be used to affect the infestation in some ways
Considering we have injected the boil that shows up on earth with a chemical made from sentient enhanced antibodies
They just said "Aight gonna take a fat nap and meet up for the Naga Drums"
However
That being said
I wouldn’t want to inject my friends with a “cure” that’d just kill them instead
To cure our Protoframe friends, we need to simultaneously kill off the infestation and regrow the parts the infestation completely replaced
Perhaps if they could clone the hex member human body and use body swap thingy the orokin used to do
now that is interesting...
Doubt it
At this point their DNA has become one with the infestation stuff
||the infestation interferes with continuity, preventing it entirely||
roathe chats ^
Go back in time and get blood sample
Kaya can time travel
only to where we've been, though
Kaya did have help knowing the exact places to go and stuff
And we had help from Helminth to get to 1999
Basically for anyone to go back before anyone got infestation and stuff
We’d need an actual Time Machine
BUT SOMEONE decided to hit it with a comically large clock hammer
If descendia is roathes mind how can there be enemies from current times and duviri? Scaldra, limnus, corpus?
it seems to be a mixture of the people experiencing it
pulls the enemies from our mind, some rooms from marie and lyon, but most of it is roathe
It’s a memory place nothing says it can only pull from his memories
Well that’s makes sense
They will all succumb to the infestation, that is an inevitability
Unless they get nuked first
Yup!
Trading one form of immortality for another, basically. Can't use Continuity if your personality, memories, and soul are anchored to the Infestation hivemind.
someone delete this again please. It appeared yesterday too.
would be a form of grandfather paradox, if we go back to get a clean blood sample to heal the Hex, then we wouldn't need to go back in time to get the blood sample in the first place since they never succumbed to the helminth strain
my bad lol, too many infestation variants
And with the solution proposed, the curing would be happening in the present, so no paradox
ah fair, my thought was;
go back in time for clean sample and then jump ahead to where entrati first jabbed them, that way the infestation has only modified a small amount of DNA as opposed to trying to fix a ~75% converted body
-# and now that i think about it, actually that would probably start a parallel universe or fully over-write everything in the current origin system timeline
Time travel can, apparently, overwrite existing events. For instance, the Infestation was originally the invention of mad scientists trying to create clones. But now the Infestation is mad scientists coming across the dead remains of Roathe and Entrati's Helminths and using them as a basis for a way to create clones. At least, that's what I think is happening. It's a paradox of the same kind as the Operator/Drifter. Both histories are true.
Wait what where did that last part come from?
YOu havent' read the terminal near Aoi?
||... "It was remarkably difficult to reverse engineer a Helminth from my own infested blood without electricity."||
It isn't alive, it's dead. I said that.
Hold up no that's not the origin of the Infestation
||... so, if the helminth roathe came in with... died... and he couldn't use that as a way to make another helminth... why would the one that died... be a way to make another helminth||
Have you not read the terminal near Aoi, then?
That's the first currently known commercial use-case for it, but we still don't know what it is or where it's from
Please re-read what I wrote carefully.
Also
Albrecht didnt use a helminth to time travel???
No I have but that isn't the origin of it, just why the Technocyte Coda defaults to the On-lyne boys
I think the only helminth he had was the strains and the shit in the backrooms
Which are. Still alive. Very much alive
... "using them as a basis to make clones" dude. If Roathe's one is dead, then it's not going to be found and used as a basis for clones.
Nor is Albrecht's, the helminth infestation does seem to be a new one for 1999
Read up on mushroom spores. Read up on yeast.
Also, helminth infestation can't spread without FLUID, interestingly
Yeah not how the helminth works
Technocyte can 'bloom' from its 'dead/inert' spores.
The helminth is explicitly transmitted like a bloodborne pathogen. You need to have fluid get in your bloodstream for it to have any affect
Why do you think the protos don't go infesting everyone they interact with?
Or the warframes?
So think about how real life scientists can culture yeast from 1000 year old dead spores and think on what scientists who have no idea what the technocyte is might experiment on dead material found in the bowels of the Cathedral of the Luminaries.
Okay so if an OROKIN couldn't do it from the time it died what makes you think random scientists can do it?
We know they didn't because the Infestation didn't originally come from there
They obviously didn't recreate the helminth. But they did manage to mangle it into the Techrot strain.
That. That was Albrecht
Entrati did not paradox the infestation into existence
Thats a new addition. The helminth is new
And this is where Euleria's lectures on Eternalism come in.
No.
what
Not even close
lmao
Because the ONE and ONLY thing that it has ever applied to is Operator/Drifter
(not eternalism that's Wally being Wally)
might've had something to do with rev prime
but yea its main use is drifter
"What is the core thesis of 'The Palimpsest of Spacetime'?
A: Events can be rewritten; traces of the original persist"
Wonder how many people didnt realise it was Mother narrating duviri and the zariman teacher?
It tends to be something that people pick up later
I realised rather quickly, its funny folk didnt realise
Most figure it out during Duviri
She has such a recognisable voice
Is it just me or does Ash's head look like a Head Crab?
I'm never going to unsee that, thanks
Or this is me being a woman lover and knowing her voice to heart, either way
Mother is so pretty 
Not to heal but create a clone of the hex and body swap like the orokin used to do
Infestation stops Continuity, Roathe complains as much about it
tbf everything in this game starts to make sense once you understand the fundamentals of eternalism as a concept
Wth
we were just talking about how eternalism is used once or twice, and not after that
<@&778745217037238293>
The only times it is relevant are Drifter/Operator, and Baro's deal.
Everything else should be explained with singular timeline stuff before even thinking about Eternalism
nah it's not limited to them, the entire universe of this game operates on the concept's ruleset
The only other thing that runs on Eternalism is The Hex finale
Because they remember you changing how that went
yea. but that doesn't matter outside of when eternalism is actually utilized. you can look at everything else in a single timeline without issue
It's not that it's limited to just them, it's that there's no other times where Eternalism's main crux, the Void, is the thing that makes us even care about the fact it exists as a concept. If the Void wasn't a thing we'd just be using plain old Presentism, and even with Eternalism being a thing, that doesn't mean that things can't just have a non-Eternalism explanation, like with the whole Infested convo above.
The Void doesn't always do stuff that needs to invoke Eternalism either, in a similar vein.
exactly, the void exists and so does eternalism in this fictional universe and this world's history and events operate around it
...Yeah but that doesn't mean you throw it around willy-nilly to explain every little thing in the game
That's the argument here.
Eternalism isn’t even used that much
Eternalism just isn't relevant to most of the world's history.
yeah like for example, it's not eternalism if we kill a grineer or something
It solidly explains two things in association with Wally, the only known entity that accesses it and maybe explains Rev Prime (Unum may also be able to)
Branching timelines =/= eternalism
but it is eternalism when something weird like the whole harrow and rell thing happened
when did i mention branching timelines 
How?
You didn’t, but I’m specifying that it isn’t
What are you even talking about?
I think they’re talking about what Lyon experiences which
Still isn’t eternalism
What are you even talking about?
it is eternalism in action, it's literally right there but nuh uh it's not eternalism
can you elaborate a bit more
Yes please explain how that’s eternalism
I'm not caught up on the KIMs, this was genuine.
so no one can define what eternalism is on here?
you all get an F, you fail the zariman school
lore channel smh
I was waiting for you
You clearly wanted the floor and I wanted to see what you’d say lmao
yea you're still not explaining how "the whole harrow and rell thing" is connected to eternalism
It'd help if I knew what "the whole Harrow and Rell thing" was in the first place
I never made any mention of it being Eternalism or not because I didn't know what you were talking about
Lyon being connected to all of the Harrows and Rell himself throughout space and time is evidence of Eternalism
I’m assuming it’s Lyon’s connection which
Sounds more like a feedback loop due to the strain and Rell’s connection to Harrow more than it is Eternalism
yeah a feedback loop that travels between past present and future
because they all exist simultaneously
that's what eternalism is right?
i'd tie that to the helminth's relationship with time more than eternalism itself
which are not the same thing
Or
Infestation go brrr
the helminth's relationship with time huh
time
a universe that operates on the concept that past present and future all exist at once and with enough power can travel between different frames of time or exist simultaneously in all of them
since im BFFs with Lyon;
apparently before the Harrow strain, Lyon ||witnessed Rell's shadow figures that wanted him to murder his parents. he ran until he was tired and then in a last ditch effort tried to make a compromise because it seemed like they wanted blood so he took his knife and stabbed his left eye out.
so yeah some how Rell influenced Lyon years before he even met Entrati||
or even the indifference ig ^
Eternalism is the concept of multiple timelines existing at once, including past, present and future. Unlike presentism which is that only the present will exist 
-# I think
you get an A
no + bc you forgot to add the whole consequences can persist if ever something is altered
Got close enough
gold star
I was focusing on Euleria's dad's portrait on the wall over what she was saying
good ol' crazy scientist entrati
Ik its probably just coincidence but notably, his was the only one to fall
have you seen the maddened version of the portait in descendia
Eh, im impassive to it.
prolly for the viewer rather than the operator. symbolism or something
I dont like how that they kinda just. Photobashed the og portrait with the new one
imo it makes sense, roathe's probably seen that portrait all over. corrupting that image into the new one seems fairly likely
Overlayed 
I mean yeah but theres also the possibility that it was just laziness 😭
Its weird bcs its specifically the chest/torso
-# how it feels to chew 5 gum
The hands look weird, not to mention one hand is disjointed from the arm itself
maybe wally has albrecht hostage like rusalka idk
I get artistic choices with anatomy, but only when they are related to the character
I can't think of a logical reason as to why Albrecht's hand would be disjointed
Because this is very obvious representative of the void incident, so the eyes being blown out is understandable
i'd rather hope it was intentional than pin it on laziness, tbh. but its possible, yeah
I want to see it like that
||Lyon also says he didn’t have the memories or tie to Rell/Wally til he took the serum||
He’s been chasing him, how would he have him hostage if he’s been chasing him.
So weird why I got confess feeling to Marie while I'm romance with lyon
Broken
Double date? 😳

Marie has a few convos that don't check if you're dating anyone but still show the [confess] anyway
idk what it would do, and i don't really want to find out
Screw her man I'd rather get littie
so more than likely its just polluted memories and/or a mix of the Harrow strain carrying trace amounts of Rell or something
ooh i'm gonna catch you 😂
She still says no
Yes that id what he wants
That and his finger
And to eat universes for their possibilities
the severed fingies that are used for space travel
all of this seems so familiar i just can't put my finger on it
cool wifi at work bugged out so I restarted discord and it removed the reply to ducky
Finally got lyon to help me with loid
And now back to the entrati rank farming
DE always finds a way to force players to max rank thingy
Yeah that seems the most likely
then again, we experienced something similar trying to bond with Umbra, since we say ourselves "i killed him, Isaah" when we in fact did not, it was Umbra who did
That was transference though
And iirc also due to the unique bolt that Umbra has
Iirc Vitruvian Ordis says something about us possibly internalizing it
And then we did just that
similar in the sense of a memory feeling like one of ours, but everything else is dissimilar
Ye
The infestation no matter which strain is connected through space and time right? Or did I misunderstand?
Their relationship with time certainly is not linear
I mean, if you think about it its all linear to them
its just not our line of thought
Non-linear to us :p
To them it’s all at once all the time essentially iirc
Quite literally a matter of perspective
I am a staunch supporter of the notion that time travel movies are never confusing if you stick to the path of the traveler
so yes, that includes tenet, even as it goes both ways
time is relative or what ever Einstein proposed lol
hmm okay
1000%
I was going to do comparisons in voicelines like with Chains of Harrow & Old Peace
The infested hivemind can travel throughout different points in the timeline
and Lizzie has like 1-2 minimum lines that are similar with other voicelines, one being Jordas
is it really counted as travel if the mind is already there?
maybe more if i keep going
It’s more like it’s at all points in the timeline than traveling from my understanding
Yes just like the indifference
So long as the infestation physically exists in space it’s mind is throughout all of it’s history in time
What
Exists throughout all of time because of eternalism
Wally exists within the void which has untime
He can access eternalism tho for sure
It has already infected the timeline and thus now exists in it all throughout
imo wally really only travels around to where albrecht has been
so its not like wally can zip all the way to the primal protozoa
Wdym infected the timeline, we keep snapping his strands before he can do much of anything
this is how we get dinoframe,,
I think it encompasses all points simultaneously
All he does is sit in the void, speak through his pieces and follow Albrecht as best he can
and occasionally pop in to say hi to us before giggling and vanishing
Maybe it doesn’t chase events because it’s already everywhere we go
“Speak through his pieces”
ah myb lol
Lol
Infinite strands that keep growing as we keep cutting them down
maybe with all these strands wally keeps making, maybe he's trying to knit us (into) a sweater
seems like he has to dedicate a decent amount of resources to actually try to tie down a strand of khra
the fragmented's whole purpose is doing so, and we keep taking them out before they can do anything
Not infinite, only as many as there are his heralds that we continuously stop
but it's still theoretically accessible! we just have to find a way to put it to practice, maybe make Albrecht build another time machine this time to dino times Xd
CONCEPTUALLY EMBODIED TIME SWEATER!!!
Yeah continuously
Read Greyscale’s message
If it was infinite we’d be overrun by him and his heralds ages ago
That’s because it’s our job lol
Okay, it’s still not infinite
what if he's just toying with us... 😔
He’s not a god.
Who
Indifference
Wally’s not a god
Wally
Theorized as a being born out of conceptual embodiment
wally the pissant aint neva a god
Losing the finger really messed him up, he has to play by the rules of causality now.
Not unless we truly perceive and fear him as one, possibly
if wally was a god, we would have lost the second Ball Arse opened the huge portal to the void
if not long before
Or rather, the second Albrecht opened the first Void portal
then homeboy neva a god because ill neva perceive it as such
Or whoever opened it
Then again, he might be a god in the Greek mythology sense
REAL!!!
Now if Drifter could just
Stop
Calling him that
-# or before the universe was even conceived
Wally has quantum superpositioned himself into the timeline 🧠
It is actually the most annoying thing ever that Drifter keeps saying that
Someone years ago theorized that Wally was a genie out of middle eastern myth
Okay that would be a cool update tho
A primordial being of chaos from before the universe's birth
Nope
He’s def a thing of entropy
He was born out of human consciousness from the void
Probably!
We can’t really prove that entirely
He just a man who's stuck in the wall
I'm pretty sure Albrecht put a face on entropy itself
And the answer will likely never be revealed
A human embodied concept that is trying to infect the eternal timeline
So what is the hivemind exactly
I spit on wally, pissant wont find harbour in hades or olympus
A gestalt consciousness
Think of it as bee hive
It’s a corporeal consciousness that has the desire to consume
Maybe Tartaros
Was it also born out of conceptual embodiment
I see drifter calling him a god like, in reference to how powerful he is 🤷♂️
like a god whose domain is specifically rose plants or smth they're teeny compared to like gods of ocean or war but still a god, yknow?
I don't think it IS corporeal, any more than your mind is corporeal
My warframe is strong
but also his power? I spit on it too
aint even in control over its own domain
sorry "domain"
because its not his
Regardless I think it’s best if we don’t even give him that much
If he is influenced based off our perception, our fear then the more powerful he is in our minds the more powerful he will be and the harder he will be to stop
That is of course assuming Roathe is right
He has control over his walls ig
Smashed em right into the lab
ah we should call wally "power level over 9000" instead of god Xd
Wally wants our light so much but once we cast a light on this little monster we've created, it aint scary at all, like a lump of clothes on a chair
roathe is right only because he's been saying what Im saying
I’m with Bau for calling him a pissant
-# all wally is, is just a entropic photocopier that has a short
yeah, hes only powerful in his domain where he makes the rules, but in the origin system and duviri he has to confide by the rules we/are established
You know what I can genuinely respect that 
Us fighting the murmur is only delaying the inevitable, that’s why albrecht is trying to find an alternative way to defeat the indifference
(But for what it's worth we haven't been to his part of the Void yet)
(so far he's been intruding on ours)
So what if the protoframe person transfer their consciousness into a human clone version by doing the orokin thingy or does the infestation prevent it from transferring?
I think Roathe mentioned he cant do continuity anymore
bcs of the infestation specifically, bt I cant remember where he mentions it
Idk maybe there's something that could help with the transfer
can't remember the specific wording he uses to find the convo, either
might be a voiced line
It would be very funny if when the indifference is defeated the orokin empire also gets deleted from the timeline as well lmao
He talks about finally being mortal
So yeah continuity is definitely off
Google said something about indifference having a reality warp in his place/domain
Indifference is immortal?
We have no reason to think he's immortal
No kuva no continuity no finger engines
time doesn't exist in the void, so wally cannot experience time so in his stomping grounds he's 'immortal'
I hope that Google and not ai, because the ai is definitely taking someone's reddit post
That's Google
Phew. Okay.
Just to make sure, you're not reading the AI Overview?
(Still wrong or at least not said in-game)
I did check
