Like dont enslave us to your forgone agricultural conclusions!!!
See i could understand it for agriculture specific unis but. What
where i am the non-college school years are divided by two semesters; the first semester starts July, the second is January
i guess that counts for "starting at the middle of the year"?
... weird but
But like
Its similar enough here
Our first semester is January
And i believe the second is in like. July maybe?
you dont know?
the reason there was a summer break is because of agriculture
and then the agri dropped and all thats left was culture
nah it was for farming LOL
Makes sense
and then thanks to a lovely thing called colonialism and then subsequently post-colonial, and then globalisation, the time period just sticks as such all around
not necessarily a bad thing, its just tracing the path of influence
Oh my God did i tell you guys I got a pomegranate tree now
its weird but it aint broke so no need to fix
I loved agriculture in highschool
pom grenade
Banging subject fr
Oh its the British exploding again
So I have been seeing the discussion on how Follie could have obtained access to RPG knowledge.
Been thinking about it a little.
Maybe Follie also was a frame related to Rell? That might mean the connection with Lyon and onwards with "all Harrows".
Lyon can dredge artifacts from the Void. Maybe something like that and Follie knows about the timeline...?
I might be throwing ideas a bit blindly, it just seems strange, why Chains of Harrow specifically if it isn't related to Rell then?
That and the fact cities without AC were HOT.
Im expecting a cluster b theme but we will see
the easiest answer is just infestation and their cross temporal memory
Wonder if Ballas watched Follie spawn such an OOPArt weapon drop in and go "that must be some cursed void contraption" and not study it at all
Probably went "back to the blueprint with you"
eleanor being 2 minutes older than arthur is genuinely frying me for some reason
lol I dont know why I didnt think of that
ofc the infestation would know what the rpg looks like LOL
who needs wally
A friend told me Warframe has great lore but a bad storytelling, is it true?
what do you think about it?
honestly, i can see it, there is a lot of lore but youre going to have to go digging just about everywhere only to then have to piece the scraps you get together
i mean some people like that
just look at all the ppl who love diving into fromsoft games lore
those games are anything but straightforward in terms of worldbuilding
i do like that
whether it's bad or not is purely subjective
It struggles a little. Especially for newer players, you will miss a lot of lore, but its more from like. Theres not months of time between updates to find this lore
The immediate story is great, the way it tells "lore" it a bit scattershot
The mysterious case of salad V
your friend might need to elaborate
they might have actual criticisms or they might fall into the bracket where its bad storytelling if its not spoonfed to them
like that feedback thread
Dunno
He likes any kind of narrative
Its something I'll discover myself
Im in Uranus rn, to be fair the only part I found interesting was the Deimos family quest
Second dream is where the plot starts to pick up
perfect time for the story to open up
Before then you're pretty just reliant on ordis' cephalon fragments
I literally just did the 1st Uranus mission
theres a joke to be made here about liking any kind of [content]
Operator?
Cake is cake
They're so cool 
What makes the Sentient Natah (Lotus/Margulis) different from other Sentients?
During the Old Peace, it is explained that through prolonged absence of the Voidblooms, a Sentient would return to a state of mind that limits them to looking for orders to follow and a simple avenue for Sentients to find that purpose is through the Sentient Hivemind.
So I ask, why is Natah different?
They're called Xenoflora, and its due to how they were created.
Natah, Erra, Hunhow and. Pragasha or however you spell it, were made in a separate way to someone like Adis or other fragments
Natah and Erra were created by some form of reproduction, a uterus is involved on hunhow's side. The fragments we fight are splinters from Hunhow
Physical parts of his body he broke off, compared to. Birth
sorta
fragments are literal fragments of a larger sentient, connected to that 'hive'
mimics are likely fragments of natah, for example
the other reproduction is not detailed, but creates an entire new sentient (like Natah or Erra)
Hunhow is a nice name.
Well Hunhow is a big boy, so I imagine he'd break off into Mini-Mes
That's terrifying to think about now.
we are the hunlings, feed us!
Yeah. Remember, this is also a man made construct. Pragashshshshs was made to eat the sun.
now that i think of it, the Hun- prefix so far has two massive sentients under it (Hunhow and, technically, Hunhullus)
-lysts are small ground units
-ix are railjack/space units
I remember that quest... eating the sun... crazy
praghasa is the true big beautiful woman
praghasa, with some standard murexes for somewhat of a scale
I made an Albrecht/wally one a bit ago actually
How horrifying. She is so pretty though
You should have made the hearts in Wallbrechtās eyes broken or just
gone
I should go back into it and fix it up. Idk if you can see it but I actually forgot to turn the teeth layer back on for the 1999 wally-Albrecht š
would the transference would work on some human being in the way that the op did to umbra
i dddddddddddont think so? the closest thing we have are the protoframes
or can you talk to someone telepathically with it
ballas could, but that was when umbra is already half warframe
i guess not, no, not to regular people
sylvania moment
||I wonder how it would feel like to be like Alad V and be infested||
I always saw the Umbra transferrance thing because of the Infested part of him, so it would always require it.
as for a tree, I got nothing, but it covers the rest of the times we've done it AFAIK.
maybe there was a little infested in the tree or something.
Itās possible you can use transference on anything with a mind, however intelligent it may be
Humans or any being of their level are more difficult maybe due to the fact thereās already a strong mind in that body
With Umbra (and possibly the Hex) he has a transference bolt which
Does something in regards to transference, we donāt have a lot of info on the bolts but we know Umbraās is specifically special
Oh also we use transference on void-made Maws so the infestation is not a factor
Yup!
which, oh, do they count as having a strong mind? theyre still whining the whole time we fight them?
Which is why I think itās more about the capacity of the mind rather than anything specifically physical
They aināt strong enough to shake us off
Probably cause the emotional breakdown
fair!
When Arthur boots us heās in battle-mode
Ofc heās gonna fight!
Only other thing that boots us is Umbra and heās in lash out at everything mode cause trauma constantly replaying
Maws.......
Jaws
Mouths
Smash
I just can't help but take into account just how much physical force Excalibur Prime can exert over his head if he's able to accomplish this feat.
That flip tho š„
Tenno are war freaks with the body of a toddler
Every time I talk to him, i find him more and more irritating.
Last night i told him im changing history without him and he threw a hissy fit.
Right after i made him admit he loved nitohk despite everything xD
Satisfying convo
<@&778745217037238293> WAKE UPP
So, guys
The Technocyte Virus from 1999 is just the first version of the Infestation or it is A version of the Infestation?
Mhm.
The Infestation lore is like:
- They created the Infestation, based on an existing virus (Technocyte), and launched it against the Sentients. It didn't work.
- Then they created a variation of that Infestation, which was the Helminth that they used it to create the Warframes.
Is that?
Wdym 
Oh, they didn't create it
Im agreeing with your statement lol
Infestation wasn't created by anyone we know
Shit was always there
It was a question lol
Like, Technocyte from 1999 is the FIRST version of Infestation or it is just some version of Infestation?
But, you already answered me, so thank you.
Makes sense
Each strain has their own traits n stuff
Grey strain makes shit big, Helminth is super tame, Techrot likes computers ect
So, Technocyte is a trait created by Albrecht?
People refer to him during the Hexa Quest as the "father" of it.
Helminth is also bloodborne, over others that are airborne
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
No, thats the scaldra. Thats propaganda š
Oh
ššš¼
Dam
I FELL FOR IT
RAH
Albrecht exclusively worked with the helminth, which does not infest others easily. It builds mass, yeah but its not something like techrot or the mire strain
First known
Let me see if I understand.
Grey trait was what he used to create the Vessels (the giants from the Laboratories).
Helminth is for Warframes
Techno is the older version of what we know as the "Infestation" nowadays
Also I have been made aware of Lettie claiming he made them "silent carriers" is. Only really for genetic diseases
Got it 
Considering itās biomechanical nature and ability to not just interface with but spread through tech there was likely a progenitor strain that adapted or was modified to get to that point
So either she used the wrong word or she uh. Fell into some form of antivax rabbit hole because thats what that term is for, apparently. Dogwhistle moment
Also she apparently has an animal rescue that. Kept rabid animals alive? Which is particularly strange considering that you'd need to do post mortem issue examination of the brain to diagnose rabies 
Im like. 99% she meant to use the word Asymptomatic, but alas
The Antivax Lettie Theory
That makes me think.....
When?
"Technocyte" could be a biological weapon, right? It doesn't seem to me that it was something natural, and if I'm not mistaken, all the Orokins were immune to natural diseases. So it has to be something that already existed and then was created, and mutated until it resulted in Techno and then Infestation.
The absolutely were not immune to infestation
Whereād you get the disease thing from?
No I know, I'm talking about the disease thing
The Entrati family and Roach are examples
I heard about it a long time ago. Idk if it is true
I'm completely immune to the infestation because it doesn't want my personality in there

I don't even have a smart reply to that
Iām immune to the Infestation because my individuality is simply too great for itās unindividuality
I still get infested I just die of the rampant tumorous growths instead
Where would your brain go?
This sounds like smthn wally would say lmfao
you don't belong so you become patient zero for a new strain
enjoy!
I would simply cure it
what are you some kind of salad? five perhaps?
Whats his name managed it, canāt be too hard
https://x.com/highelven/status/2028895325000224945?s=61&t=ZIQdc9z3D6Y-KCvzQJ3qsQ
saw this post idk if Iāve had this conversation yet but what does she mean cuz I forget any hands being mentioned during the railjack missions
have you checked in on the reliquary drive at the back of the ship
Thatās the blue device the cephalon for railjack moruns over right?
yeap
idk if you missed it, but you should have had a cutscene where the contents of the device is revealed
I donāt remember seeing its contents. Itās just been blue to me
oh in that case, a finger is inside
Whose finger?
The name "reliquary drive" isnt accidental
Man in the wall
What really?!?
Big fingy
big lad yes
mhmm, thats what aoi is referring to
Dang
To be precise a copy of his fingers
important to note: that's not his actual finger
also there's one on Zariman too
in one of the mission hubs
^
agreed
no I meant more like, where the original is
JEEEZ when did this happen? Was it a glitch or did I have to go out of my way to see the inside?
which one of the [all fingers ever, lorewise]
just go to your finger and press x
just had to be curious
somewhere lolololol
@twin whale
We havent been told yet
just not the zariman or the railjack
especially not the railjack since there were multiple railjacks
and they all saw use during the war
my bet? vault on deimos, deep underground, next to a giant nose
How did Wally lose a finger?
Albrecth took it
imagine sending off your original finger with a ship that can be destroyed
Albrecht closed a door on his fingers
Not intentionally no
have you ever shut a door on your finger and then worry that it would fall off
say what you will about that guy, he's capable
yea wally didnt have to worry about it falling off
even if the worlds biggest ass
because it fell off
Maybe pinky toe on edge but not finger
The event is described on that backroom in between necralisk and sanctum anatomica btw
wally searches high and low, misses the one vessel picking its nose with an off colour finger
š
the dictionary room?
Thatās the void tongue thing right? I wouldnāt have expected thatās where the finger loss is explains Iāll have to check it out soon
loved that place
yea, the void tongue dictionary room
its going to be nearer to the end of the entries
wally and his stupid voice is my favorite thing in the entire game
Yeah albrecht narrates the tale of when he entered the void and the first encounter with the man in the wall
it has been a lil confusing for me, i started playing earlier this year and got all the lore exposure from the main quests all in a week
was a hell of a week tho

Quoting River Stryx (@River_Stryx)

@PabloMakes Hello Pablo, longtime player, and I think Follie looks great. I have a question regarding Follie's second ability (Sketchbook), and that is if the items spawned will have their default art/textures? Or will they look more 'inky' to match the vibe?
well, no need to ask how follie knows what an rpg is
its all just inkmagination babey
exactly
but before she was summoning scaldra rpgs
which dont exist in the modern time
I kinda imagine it was more just an intent thing like wahg
Manifest a pistol and some otherworldly consciousness will fill in the blank about how exactly a gun works when you summon it
is it still scaldra rpg but inky?
I mean, most likely, but being inky is plausible deniability
ye
The grineer probably have some
just ask the zarr
I just realized the connection between the waaagh and the void manifestation thing
Conceptual embodiment?
yes that's the one
Or Alternatively
Yeah its pretty similar, but not so controlled
praise the waaaaagh
You're summoning intent and as long as the pistol doesn't get cracked open it'll work
orkz just control it because it is needed to explain all the goofs
But once it gets cracked open you realize its just a shell and it ceases function
The illusion breaks
since it's a comedy piece and not exactly what warframe is using it for
Purple orks with CE rules would be funny to imagine
are they they sneakers?
CE would probably just make them disappear if they screwed it hard enough
Like, gone from reality disappear
As far as im actually aware waghh doesn't actually work like that
Honestly 
waaaaagh isn't just "oh we can do whatever"
permanent operator void crouch but also they can shoot
And like massive effects require mass orks and leadership
Mhm
And alot of coordination
While CE is usually on a individual basis
The orks cant just waghhh a guy out of reality on a whim
Duviri, skittergirl, holdfasts, incarnons, wally
it is as long as they believe it, but it's not intentional like that... which is why it also works when some random guardsman says "pew pew pew", but also that's heresy
That story isnt real
I ment canon
We do gotta remember certain tales can just be tales in the universe of that media
Its not even a tall tale its just not actual Canon that isnt a story that exists in 40k
IDK what you are talking about, I just made something up right now
they're senile and a lil demented, who knows what her mind cooks up
She's actually rather aware
The Dagath story was real, is the thing
If not the most aware
She's far from senile.
senile just means old btw
She is very scary because of it
She just loves messing with people.
they are HELLA old
Shes not that old either i don't think? Due for another continuity but
We aren't particularly sure of orokin lifespans
Their servants can live for yoinks
About as old as Ballas and every other person that survived the fall.
Ballas would be as senile
Don't believe anything was mentioned of the sort
I knew he was a chill guy...
Shit so he might just have lasted that long
We have literally no clue how anyone survived this long
Probably. Doing drugs or some shit
And it's not like he's the only one anyway
Teshin hello teshin
We do gotta remember the entrati are brainwormed, but at the same time. They usually remember things correctly
Except for Father and when he met mother, for some reason
my understanding from just playing the game was that they have clouded minds partially by being asleep all the time
because of what i assume is a hivemind dream, individuality becomes less important
The Infested might have done more of the damage
other infested things still keep their memory to SOME degree
Nah, the hivemind just messes with memories in general, but there's been extreme physical damages. Probably why they're so sleepy lol
Ehhh? We dont really. Talk to other fully infested
Yeah the "some" here is just their familial roles
drifter's schtick about warframe stances
not like, your average charger
Yeah, which. Have no memory other than slight personality traits
They have to be forcibly reminded of things [like umbra] to hold memories
it's non-zero, but yeah I am stretchng it
xata is decay right
Xata is truth
woops
Netra is decay
I forgor
ME... MISCALCULATED
Limbo core
you're miscalculated?
it's a lich quote
Oh. I don't do liches bcs I hate that gameloop lmao
I do not for one second think that you should take the individual words of voidtongue as literal, there are such few words with so much power that they have to hold more information that the sum of their parts
ohhhhh yea
Oh they do
I forgot that lich quote
it's the "funny" male lich voiceline when you hit him with the third word
iirc
They have literal translations that do work, it is a language the murmur use
it's one specific personality
Personal favourite is the translation to Yara Jeliira-
-# I will not shut up about this
by all means
fill my heart fiercly can be interpreted as "get angry pls"
which is the opposite of what we are doing to hold wally back
This song plays during the part in whispers where the vessels are holding each other i assure you its not that
eh, hypocrisy is kinda the standard with wally
No clue how operator had. Any of those memories of that
Guess Loid told them offscreen 𫵠š
NO. WRONG EMOTE
LOL
MUCK. NOW IT LOOKS LIKE IM BEING AN ASS
"it's unnatural!"
said about combo elements by the though-creation possessing the general of an army that uses combo elements
you could just correct it
Drifter? Mm. Not exactly
like I could see how the mirror puzzle thing hints to that but it's 100% speculation on my part
They're two distinct personalities, they just hold the same slot of spacetime
I wonder if there's ever contamination
with transference and such
like between tenno, not from the original like the dax fella
emoji kitchen provides
Mm, explain what you mean?
My guess? Psychic bleed from tenno to tenno
Tenno on tenno action
Somatic... interference?
let's say Tenno A and Tenno B transfer into the same frame in sequence, the frame is doing something that would trigger Tenno A's trauma so they bail quickly, would Tenno B possibly feel the remnants of that trauma response?
Like when theres too much of a certain frequency in a single spot and it messes with cameras n shit, but like. Tenno?
"That was Patricia"
classic patricia
Mm, probably? That is what transference is used for, feeling another's feelings. Im not sure how easily one could transfer into the same frame though
Kind of a nonstarter as we print our own copies tho
No, why would the frame retain other experience like that
Thought the point of blueprints was because once Transferred its a lock
I dont think they meant the frame itself, moreso the proximity to another tenno in that frame
So you need to grow a whole ass new frame to share
Ahhh
Like two tenno on one liset
Hm, good question
sort of yeah, like they kept the seat warm
Im. Just unsure if transference works with multiple tenno on one vessel
Yeah id wager it dont
Can. Can we do that in duviri?
Still no, Transference isn't a psychic field
Oooo sick lagniappe there good point
Ehh? It does allow for empathetic cross over, doesnt it? Isnt that why transference works?
We can feel others trauma and help them
Between user and frame. There wouldn't/shouldn't be anything connecting previous users
I don't see why something like trauma lingering wouldn't be impossible
I would argue that depending on the warframe, they absolutely can have lingering connections
The protoframes experience it actually
I wouldnt say a psychic field lol more like a psychic emp pulse that has a two way empathy tether
Marie talks about feeling the original wisp as if she was physically there
(Empathy is psychic fullstop)
The only case it could happen as known if a previous user dies locked in a frame like Rell
(Sympathy =/= Empathy)
and stll required extra circumstance
I was about to say that if you recorded someone's brainwaves and then stimulated another person's brain waves they'd feel similar things... literal electromagnetic pulses
Mhm
Literally just hop out your umbra lmao
lol
Like it would need to be super quick and it wouldnt be long lasting
But our warframes do feel the same thing we do
like my original question was regarding less of a star wars force "I can sense there has been great sadness here" and more like "woah, this sucks, so anyway I started blasting"
And I can imagine that fight/flight/freeze does extend to that
yeah
I hate this forever
I hate it because it is right
As given, unlikely
I am perhaps a whimsical fella
Makes more sense when you hone muscle memory in a dojo š
funny thing is muscle memory sort of becomes the path of least resistance when you've let your body adapt to specific movements
images that make you say hell yeah
Whimsy Boy 9001
his name is Alberto
Euleria named it after her dad/j
i fw Alberto
The duviri kubrow is cool but I like the kavat more
Albrecht is a mix between Jotaro Kujo and Nostalgia Critic
it's kind of the most obvious joke to make
which is why my smooth brain came up with it
Its a very specific one
But its funny so it passes
Albrecht and his design is. Interesting to me
I hope they change it this year, if we do see him
We have a rough guess, but in regards to tau, no clue
with time travel it is impossible to draw conclusions
but you can guess how someone would go about reaching a goal
I mean we can only follow if the infestation is where he is if itās time travel related
has it not reached tau? did nobody attack tau during the war?
And i don't think he's gonna pull the infestation to a possibly uninfested place
I'm gonna have to farm Nidus and mod my charger... >:3c
You played an attack on one of its moons lol.
we have GOT to kennel all the nidus players and never let them go to tau
oh, related... how does Caliban handle the void?
you don't know that, but yes I did!
Feeding them to helminth before we embark
also don't bring the helminth
Helminth should be fine tbh
put a mask on him
gets the flu
Its more of a bloodborne spreader than something airborne like the others
caliban gets as sick as a dog in tau
that rules
Likely something related to tauron academy
I say this thinking of the test scene where we try and help adis cheat
There was some sort of ongoing theory on linking sentient and tenno abilities
Was reading railjack lore and got the question of how many sigma series railjacks did house sigma make?
All I read is that "he made multiple"
somewhere between one and lots
And that's all we know
Dam
They don't give numbers for things that aren't relevant or could cause issues for future storywriting
That's fair
We honestly don't know a lot about old war railjacks and their pilots tbh
"It's ready when it's ready" couldn't be any more poignant lol
so uh... am I CHARGING MY RAILJACK WITH A GIANT SPACE CABLE? wtf is this
feeding tube???
leash???
is this how I travel when I don't use the orbiter?
is this hovering somewhere far above drifter's camp?
leash
why do you think default rj looks like a dog
Can you show us with an arrow where do you mean a cable between railjack and orbiter ship.
look at the imageā¦
itās not hiding
no but a star
And how does it looks outside.
hold on let me
Hm navigation is active with railjack
go into space????????
can't rn
well therefore we can't seem to tell if it's cable or the something else.
honestly where is it when we're in the Backroom
probably handwaved in the same way
yea
clearer pic, can't see it from the railjack pov, can't leave railjack in orbit
it is probably how you board the railjack but also I have the upgraded omni so I could just teleport
š oh now, we know how it works.
it's probably just to the door in the floor behind the cockpit
I wonder how does railjack works, when we enter it, if there isn't orbiter around us.
Do they have some design of how it worked in the beginning of the making.
The ships
i need to find that information im curious.
but I guess with artifical gravity and both doors in the floor
it would be spooky to get flipped around
well it's how they say,if it works don't change it.
Maybe as a tube involved, how much entrances it has on railjacks
"if it is stupid and it works, it's not stupid" :')
well it's a system made anyways.
The tube is probably a tether
But I can see it being how we board
it attaches right where the hatch in the railjack would be, in the "room" behind the cockpit
also in searching for concept art of this, I came to realize how many people misunderstand the scale of the orbiter and lander
I guess how the sentients and corpus works, they are ok.
Grineer one on other hand is like a room full of glasses walls or mirrors.
True
on railjack missions. There are areas where we needed to finish that white icon area,where is bonus items drops,which involves a question, what that big object was used for and what was it.
But I gotta admit I like those areas to be honest, it just gives different environment.
And feelings being around it.
Usually it's a defunct Orokin Tower that the Corpus/Grineer are looting, and we swoop in and steal their stuff.
i wonder how much orokin tower made and how huge was it in orokin system. Before
Well, Orokin did despoil solar system to the point they just... Decided they would rather plunder another, rather than strip this one further
So their shiny towers might have been many
just those two
I like the realism, given how few planets are actually inhabitable
terraforming mars is probably easier than terraforming the next best planet in a far away system
but not as easily inhabited an already inhabitable planet far away
that's the connector toob between rj and orbiter
are you calling me a toobee? Or not toobee? that is the question.
Easier and less worthwhile, considering terraforming is the answer to surviving the local sun
tau's sun needs surviving?
technically yes, but it also means "making the planet habitable for us considering the system"
No, ours does. So we go to Tau to do that....
I have an idea
our sun isnt much of a problem tho
what if we just eat the sun
How far in the future are we?
not far enough thats for sure
Our sun only gets a few more hundred million from now
yea, so the orokin era should have been still good on time
(Ballas)
You mean... the prior era?
praghasa:
even as vague as the timeline is, nothing indicates that we're anywhere close to the end of the suns lifespan
Right. Thats why i cant even see it on my chart.
sun isnt any more orange than i remember
yea the era where going to tau was conceived as The Planā¢
Which was more due to resource mining
Traditionally in sci fi terraforming is to escape this system
sure
either way orokin era or now, not close enough for the death of the sun to be the problem
Idk the tech seems so advanced and drifter and Op not even knowong what year it is
(Per KIM) just doesnt make me feel good about it
Thats because some blue buggers destroyed the records
so its not a case of "the human experiment have gone on so long they forgot"
Right, right
its just a case of record keeping gone wrong
But we still because of that can't say not enough time has passed either
eeh, id you take what albrecht says about 10k years to be in the ballpark of true, we can still say not enough time has passed
Well if he has a rough estimate maybe that is promising. Cant help but look at NW as foreshadowing sometimes
the sun is not showing any signs of turning into a red giant
Thats also fair but we havent really had the quest to address it since tnw
Something forcibly trying to eat the sun shouldnt be considered foreshadowing for the natural death of the sun I do think
or even any signs close to experiencing considerable aging in the context of a star's lifespan
Not perse natural so much as any
Like, boom we are already talking perita now
Whats the rush? Orokin are dead
because the story is advancing?
as far as I understand it, given nothing drastic happens except for the interaction between the sun and the earth, life as we know it becomes unviable in ca 50 million years and the sun itself still has 1.5 billion years left
at some point tho, the size of the sun will be 2AU which is bad because an Astronomical Unit is the distance between us and the sun... very crispy
and we're going to Tau to find [whatever lotus said at the end of TOP that i dont remember exactly]?
either way, orokin don't live for millions of years
And why dont we remember it?!?!?!?! All i remember is "itll be diffy next time you digs"
at least there hasn't been enough time to test that, but given the mortality rates and in-fighting I'm pretty sure it's not possible :p
because our memory of it was erased?
either that or deeply repressed hence dark refractory?
well, they certainly will try
which is why albrecht said "we die with the sun"
I too forgot the blurb
you just know he stole that from a song.
Thats pretty solid counterevidence then, thematically
In theory they could have
In practice, we happened
I think Ballas tried real hard and look how that ended... Killed by a 14 year old in a diseased onesie
To be fair she had main character hairstyle
*Killed by the 14 year old's adoptive mother
**who he wouldnt stop abusing
Orokin moment
its the purple clashing with the orange, right? Bothers me too.
oh you
like 0.1 sec before I love it, Big Wally is so cool... this particular thing tho
IDK whether to trust her or not
wait so you hate the scene because you dont know to trust the lotus? Or that a side thought to your dislike of the scene
That is kinda Lotus' whole deal though. There's always been that "do we?" kinda vibe from her.
Which is why I like her as a character so much, she's complicated.
because it didn't resolve properly
wdym by that
and she's sus in the pager scene before '99 as well
I. Dont think saying we die with the sun is stolen from a song š thats a pretty broad statement
What didnt get resolved properly?
I dont. Fully trust the lotus, but only because I'm unsure the motives the other two would have
ah we're in the lotus deal territory LOL
I mean id de wants it to be they could very easily explain than praghasas tomfoolery has Kickstarted the death of the sun
What supposed deal did she make again
like I am not making a claim
Its dealings, not deal š
Cause it wasnāt the moon
I am saying it's not resolved yet
good thing we have a crap ton of scifi media that involve rejuvenating a star
the picture is taken from a thread that was "LOOOK SHE IS SMILING JUST LIKE WALLY"
but it's not the same smile and that part i think is just silly
What dealings exactly tho
Minorly confused, so your issue is that this scene opened up the opportunity for conspiracy theorists come up with the lotus making deals with wally?
it's unresolved, we are being kept in the dark, and I don't like where it is going
What is unresolved though
What dealings with Wally are you referring to
my god
WE DO NOT KNOW IF THERE IS ONE OR NOT, IT IS UNRESOLVED
I'm not gonna type all of that again
and if you ask again I am just gonna assume you're being a jerk for no reason
Why would she make a deal with Wally
^
Iām not I genuinely donāt know what youāre referring to š
The cliffhanger is she maybe made a deal
yes
Hm, not sure if I can share in that sentiment
Yeah I doubt she made a deal
Im quite staunchly in the doubt she made a deal camp
she may be affected by wally as shown in Lotus eaters, but you need not make a deal to be affected
I donāt believe anything really suggests it and I doubt she would have
as shown by all the adults in the Zariman as well as the red veil members
"making a deal" with wally is shown to be incredibly one-sided
i don't mean she's in cahoots
the real "cliffhanger" is what wally intends to do next with the lotus, since we've had 2 quests after TNW that indicates wally wants to do something to the lotus
I mean there was something that made him leave and I doubt it was the sentient beating the void
If she ever did make a deal, it would've been from wally wearing her down, not her wanting it naturally perse
From what weāve seen itās one sided in whomeverās making a deal with him
We got the tenno saved
Baro got to be all of the baros
yea
my position is that he fronted, stunted, emoted, and ran (ted)
its like uuuuh
He kinda got what he wanted and dipped
have you ever played Monster Hunter Worlds
Which was more influence thanks to Ballas making the portal
Whatever voidtongue he says at the end of the new war. That's what he ran[ted]
Lotus was just making an attempt to protect us
wally:

lotus: š
Deals seem to be on shaking hand basis
Wally was also speaking to us
Bill cipher style
Or he was mentioning us but iirc he says it again in Whispers so I donāt think he was talking to Lotus
wally is at least twice the force bill cypher is cuz he is a square not a triangle

but triangles are the most versatile and strongest minimum point shape
Unless its made of other triangles
squares are 2 triangles
Buildings are strong and are usually made from smaller triangles
and the hexagon is the bestagon
Wally is at least 2 Bills
He is two dolla 
gonna ask the modeler how many polygons he's made of
Nah
Two holla
Hollars....
Depends which form you mean, he doesnāt seem tied to one
Even in that scene heās literally two bodies
the big square one duh
wall form

Not like the grimoire
the person form is only for one person so I think it's more a mental projection
Grimoire merch edition
I..magically read that as OA
Orokin archives..........
He can communicate through the pieces of himself and we always have one with us sooo
Yeah checks out
Did we not have one actually?
eeeh, can't be the duviri folk have seen each others cloneforms
We testin the lore
We do and itās uh. Interesting
they are of the void tho
Idr who but someone has it in OA
Because it needs to be tested, Because what the hell DE im not over what happened to Nihil
also doesnt loid react to our clone?
Mm. I dont think he does?
he was turned into radio merch
He screams at him
Oh shit word
Iām not over the RPG til we know how she can make one
yea! Loid reacts to our clone
can you still play the missions or are the beacons just for a fight?
The Man in the Wall: (laughs) "Look at these things. Lying around. ABANDONED. Like you, Loid."
Loid (Original): "You are his demon! Not mine! I WON'T listen!"
Nah, KIM writers put him as an executor and it was incorrect n got smited and demoted
He reacts to them in Wallyās domain though
Idk if he could see him but he could def hear him
Lying around
Loid lies down confirmed
Heās been in a glass jar for years lmao
Only like. 4 atp of the kimchat š
which would at the very least indicate that its no mental projection
because 2 goobers heard him at the same time
drifter is not necessarily a reliable narrator... also why is it not correct that he's an executor?
because theres only 7 of them buggers and nihil aint one of them
Youd think theyd be right on the literal leaders of the empire but. Yeah like bau said
It def is a projection to some extent since him showing up to us isnāt his physical form
Again he can communicate through any piece of himself
Its like not knowing at least like. 2 members of the royal family are
separately, theyve stated in the last tennocon that Drifter isnt intended to be an unreliable narrator for the most partt
easy, the chosen one and the black sheep... classic fantasy trope
Like this may be the British in me but I can name at least 4 and their roles
It's implied a lot of the time that his physical forms are Wally's attempts to appear human despite not being so, hence the murmur being all bits and pieces.
I do have to point out, I don't think it's a 1-person projection, case in point him taking over Rusalka in front of the Hex
Nihil. The glassmaker

there's the kiddo projection that I think wally controls who sees, but I think that's separate from the possession
Iām talking about when he shows up as us or other people, those arenāt his attempts to be more human thatās just him copying us
Also he was Neci throughout that entire quest, he was possessing her
like I don't think he can necessarily talk to neci while talking through neci
Not even starting this today.
He hollowed her out so
neci singlehanedly made smoking hot again
Talk to what? She aint there 
wally will NOT take that away
He was called an executor in a chat, but they removed that. Right before Old Peace we were also given the names of the remaining Executors, Nihil wasn't among them
In the War Within he talks to us through us
After Chains he just appears to us but he canāt actually be there due to his limitations
In Whispers he talks to Loid while in Wallyās void domain
Alledgedly following her mother's footsteps
pop off Velimir
I have 100% read that line, but it might not have been in game
It was in game, they nuked the chat š
I started playing in january
It was an Amir chat
It was a KIM that they updated, I think with Amir
Yeah that would've been after the change
It was one of the first hotfixes iirc
kind of hard to remember what exactly was in-game and just on some screenshot
We randomly couldn't access the histories one day and. The next someone found it to be gone
because I've taken in a lot of information about all of this crap in the last couple months
Old versions of the kimulacrum site might have it
I rlly wish they had in-game wiki of sorts to make it easier
I kind of do, but also kind of don't
We have the Operator Report which summarizes the story up until Whispers
Itās not perfect ofc
Tbh having a dedicated Wiki instead of using Fandom is huge
I've had this debate a trillion times regarding path of exile, it is just not worth the dev time when there are conservation projects on player-ran but officially linked wikis
We already have 2 warframe wikis, a 3rd just feels excessive at this point.
Best we got is the orokin archives, but thats not exactly a wiki
and an "official source" making an error, or spoiling details, is a much bigger issue than simply having a compilation of stuff people know
Generally no wiki should be treated as an official source without a legitimate, alternative source
The orokin archives works because its ran by one person and its mainly just transcripts
[says who?]
Its a general rule, especially in lore based chats. You will not be taken seriously if you just say the wiki said it
That's fair! My favorite game ever is Dragon Age origins and it has like in depth codex that I always found it really fun to read through lore for hours. I think even just perhaps a slightly more thorough codex system would be nice at least.
Oh..lmao sorry I use [] too much to tell
typically the wiki is extremely accurate for gameplay, since the raw data is there for the taking from DE.
But there have been a painful few times where a few of us had to edit the wiki because whoever wrote the lore blurb got something reaaaally wrong
._.
like the one time someone wrote that hunhow was still dead and was speaking from the grave
side note: it took me way too long to realise that Thedas is shorthand for "THEDragonAgeSetting.
that was a doozy
every now and then I come across INSANE threads or chatters where someone is like schizo-posting about stuff
I DID NOT KNOW THAT. HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT?
a while back there was a guy explaning how everything was actually in the bible
From the Great & Terrible to the Dead & Terrible
There was some anniversary stream where they were talking about DA;4 and a dev brought it up like it was nothing.
my head was like š¤Æ
one of my favourites is whoever keeps writing really poetic intro paragraphs for warframes, which is cute and all, but completely fan made
its well done, its cool, but it grinds my gears when powerscalers use those blurbs as proof of warframe powers
some of them are quoted from the prime release video
Frankly: who gives a toss about power scaling in WF.
You know what's stronger? Modding them.
those are fine, let me show you an example of what I mean
A lot of people its. Hard
ok
If i see one more doomguy vs warframe i will crash out
I love the fact that mods are real
Radiant starfire light our worlds ablaze. Igneous as the burning sun, Ember's fiery rage engulfs her foes and scatters their cinders in the solar wind. Empress of elemental flame, scorch the land with her wildfires. Control her fury or fuel the heat to unleash destructive incineration, leaving charred corpses and ashes adrift in her scarlet sea. Ember's flame first sparked in Vanilla and reignited in Update 26.0 (2019-10-31): The Old Blood.
This is from Ember's page. It is 100000% fan made
Because its always the doom fans spouting that shit and I hate feeding into it
yea but he has BFG9000
Low self-esteem Ordis whenever you exit your mod menu always gets me. Dude needs a glass case hug.
Its not even that, its a whole lore thing
Every time someone brings up Doomguy, I replace it in my head with the 2005 movie.
it's so funny when they are both the most powerful force of destruction in their respective universe... both doom guy and war frame would be stronger if their universes demanded it
giiirl I still get flashbacks of the FPS POV scene
it is so bad
Lmfao it kills me when he's like "do you remember the old war? I don't. š"
I searched the whole thingy in quotes, I find a site that isn't the wiki... it has this picture which clearly doesn't have that text on it...
and then the poetry junk written on the page...
the site is a service where you can lend your account out so they can buy it for you for platinum, in case you live in russia and can't do it yourself
like literally the only pages that have it have stolen it from the wiki
Its one of those. You cant kill him unless you are him deals
mhmm, thats because the source of that entire blurb is the wiki
ye
LMFAO that's wild
which is to say, the blurb isn't a bad thing, its not trying to pretend its lore
its like a WWE announcer calling in the next fighter
it reminds me of those t-shirt bots that find images to steal and then auto-generate t-shirt sales
but uh, humans have demonstrated time and time again the inability to critically read and so we get powerscalers
oh right! remember the disney strat lol
I remember someone telling me that snoop dogg from cod zombies can create black holes so he's stronger than superman
snoop is in cod?
SEVEN???
Wtf is going on with CoD š
"In Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, Snoop Dogg was released during Season Five on August 7th, 2023 as part of the "Tracer Pack: Snoop Dogg, Return Of The Shizzle"."
I'm going to die
I could write an essay about the implications of this and what it says about where we are at, that is absolutely wild
I have ideas in my head that have implications that make me cringe
Heads up, a service like that is against TOS

Of course it is. It's also a horrible deal
Every day I am reminded about how lucky we are to have smthn like the orokin archives
Dataslop is way better than fanonslop
Unless it's regarding Hatsune Miku's creation of Minecraft
I like the archives cus theyre mainly transcripts. As literal as you could possibly get. Plus their discord server is cool
i like transcripts with word search for lore, you can actually do research like a smart person!!
I just use find tool for finding specific things tbh š
Seems clunky if you can't load everything all at once but whatever works
I wanted to make a full obsidian library of the lore
Might be a bit uncomfortable to sit in.
beware of cuts!
And then you have to fend off the cast of GoT going to steal it all.
Mm. Wonder if that'll cause any weird frequency shit
man good luck with that LOL
I never got around to understanding how obsidian works past a surface level
As in. The volcanic glass?
as in the note taking app
OH. OH MY GOD
fancy note app
Dawg I was working off the idea of literal obsidian
tbf you don't need much more than that for most things
has the ability to represent pages as connected nodes
its like Notion? or your own self-contained markdown wiki with connection visualization
Hence the frequency comment
yea but like, it gets real tedious trying to link the nodes every time theres something new yknow
fair, yea
Im gonna be real i just use basic notes and clip studio paint for note taking š
like surely there must be a way to automate the link generation but I never figured it out
Shit got me doing digital notes on an art program
Itās just a large folder of individual text files that are connected through these āLinksā which are words inside a text file that referte to the title of another text file
suddenly makes you realize just how much effort is wiki contributing
I mean, yea thats exactly it, my issue is how tedious make links are
I got an obsidian vault for soulframe already
and its in fancy Markdown
for me, because I never figured out how to make it not tedious
The wiki is pretty easy to use. I aint sure on how image stuff works but! I can edit text and thats all i care for
Text files have themselves aliases that can refer to the title as well
And each file has certain tags, cssclasses and they even added database files for all the text files
but if I use the word does it automatically become a link, or do I have to make the link myself on the word? Do I have to insert the link instead of the word?
I also have an addon that adds 3D view of the whole graph! Which is pretty intense
ah shit database management type shit that im extremely uneducated about
I thought the link model was part of the default build?
You have to make the link yourself. That is to make sure no redundant links are made
or do you mean you have a ball
Yeah the 2D graph but not a 3D graph
cosbofbwufbe
No it is pretty intense on the processor but I find it just really cool to see these lore maps in 3D
Itās basically calculated via repelling forces, link forces and a common center force. So there is a 0,0 point in the graph but I mostly turned that one off to make sure the graph doesnāt devolve into a sphere
so you made a cube
I can even make a line š
These are some magic words
No I just like using obsidian. In my messed up chaos brain, obsidian really helps me develope a whole overview of things
And see what it connected on a quick level
I even used it on my thesis
Everybody is unique in that aspect!
It's a crime we never got a proper reboot of that franchise.
I continue to only hear that as the rock, and it's making this whole thing way funnier.
no idea which franchise youre referring to
I can think of like 2 that involve cubes
Cube. š§
theres a franchise called cube?
Cube.
theres 3 movies and a semi-reboot.
they get weirder and weirder.
theres this not old horror movie either called or about the cube where a bunch of people have to escape a booby trapped alien cube?
the second one has lore that makes the Void's story look sane.
i suppose?
is that the one?
first of all how dare you.
I know there was some horror that involved a giant puzzle cube
Old Cube. š§
there was one of those youtuber-bait horror games based off the idea a while back, where you walked itno a glowy room and it might or might not be trapped, had to use a shoe to check. It's stolen directly from the movie.
Yeah! I for one need a visual and tactile experience to learn and retain information, so smthn like notetaking like you would use isnt for me, but it is for you, and thats sick 
Weird that. Is a concept ive heard of before
I like older media so high chance I'd know it, especially if its from that time
Bet yall dont know anything about chex quest
The cereal?
Yeah. That but a game. Its a.. total rehaul of doom 1993 iirc
Oh yeah that was a weird time, a bunch of brands back then did that. My favouite was 7up's "cool spot".
It has a sequel too, from memory. Though, its fan made but endorsed iirc
It's kinda like how now companies will make those fake tiktoks that are from "fans". Back then, they used to slap together a game clone of something popular and give it away for free.
free advertising for the company, and people retain a brand more if they are playing a game.
I say, as I'm drinking tea from a WF mug.
Real
I have a tennovip cup i got
Can barely see the logo but
OH YEAH
I HAVE AN OFFICAL WARFRAME BRANDED BOTTLE OPENER
What a great thing to own
Its so strange, its a really odd choice
They're clearly encouraging me to go get shitfaced and cry again
I like to think they're aware of the classics. Branded bottle-openers were really common back in the day, before my time.
I've got more than a few ashtrays with logos laying around in a box somewhere.
Mine is this really pretty blue that does remind me a lot of the old peace
Obsidian library?
Vault mb
Itās a note taking program where you can make a node graph of all your notes
Canāt remember
Does anything happen if you talk to Grandmother while playing Dagath?
No interaction, Yareli, Uriel, Xaku and a frame with the wolf fur cape also hasn't btw
Man :(
Nup. Its kinda balls
Because the ventkids will react to yareli iirc so its not like they didn't think of it
Grandma gets stage fright specifically with Warframes, she thinks theyāre so cool she freezes up and just talks normally
Shes so real for this one
Wait does Lavos have a line at all
Does he have one???
Why does he have one but the warframes that have been confirmed to interact hasn't š
His only connection to the family is he was tossed into Vilcorās inventory just cause he had nowhere else to go
Wait does he have one what š
Lavosā Draught
-# also I refuse to believe theyāre not going to do something with him being in their inventory and them both having alchemy at some point, even if its just a throwaway line. I will die on this hill, this is my āSentient Void Consciousnessā theory
-# lavos leverian 2: lavos takes refuge w/ the entrati family
-# dagath leverian: dagath also ended up taking refuge with them but she left and they forgot
-# the family was just a cat sanctuary for warframes
Yareli does with Ventkids, Gyre does with Holdfasts, Nokko does with Nightcap
Baro does with Inaros
i think theres more, but im not sure
the protos should have lines when talked to while using their frames
*they don't but they should
Mm
two Lizzies arguing
They'd rip each other's heads off lol
Doesnt Lizzie like
the part where you tune them
Possess Flare's own body
but she has her own fingers
they wouldn't argue
now I'm just imagining two lizzies communicating in jazz hands for the heck of it
the trophy having his entity code is very integral to the lore
Konzu reacts to Gara
...I'm pretty sure
...forgot about Ordis and Jade tbh
Been a bit since I talked to him in the camp
and Nidus with helminth
I bet Otak has some lines with Citrine
i think worm queen hs unique lines if you go to conjunction survival AS voruna
