WHY? HOW?

[fast dew]

True. If there was one good thing about the orokin was the. Normalisation of queer folk

[opaque zenith]

Loid is brazillian?

[fast dew]

Look at him

[restive lantern]

Skinny legend legs

[fast dew]

Go my old man

Go fight wally with a shit ass gun

[tall echo]

Loid can also use a warframe shotgun pistol without breaking his arms

[fast dew]

"Hes skinny" my ass bro that dude got a sleeper build fr

[opaque zenith]

"So long, gay Wally"

[fast dew]

He really is out here just being reckless and going to just murder the fragmented one

I wish I could trigger it myself

[radiant pier]

wrinkletwink

[fast dew]

Theyve patched out some things with loid silently and it makes me so upset

[fast dew]

Wrinketwink fr

[radiant pier]

double jumps from pure doomed yaoi

[fast dew]

I can no longer bully Loid into random places when you first meet him

He also has unique animations when waiting

[radiant pier]

with enough doomed romance, you will have the power to vanquish 7 ancient evils

[fast dew]

I do like to collect those

[dark compass]

Spring loaded knees

[radiant pier]

I'd try it myself but unfortunately I'm too well-liked

[fast dew]

Ultrakill, Doom, warframe

[radiant pier]

supposedly

[fast dew]

Fallout in general

[restive lantern]

Yk keep complaining and imma just call him Skinny Loid™️ permanently lol
He's literally the thickness of a graham cracker

[tall echo]

??

[dark compass]

Stacking doomed romance for a buff

[radiant pier]

what're you talking about?

Pixel I mean

[fast dew]

Turns out it just leads to mental instability

[dark compass]

The opposite of the power of friendship

[fast dew]

Worth it

[radiant pier]

no it's not I already have that as my base buff

[fast dew]

I need to get a new printer. I wanna make

Like. Loid cube

[dark compass]

I also want to make a lot of things

Actually no i don't I just want to stop being bad at Deadlock

[fast dew]

Git gud bro

[dark compass]

https://tenor.com/view/the-voices-gif-26526118

[dark compass]

It's my first MOBA

[tall echo]

Ha, L

[radiant pier]

what's deadlock

[dark compass]

I'm losing my mind

[radiant pier]

oh the valve hero shooter

[dark compass]

New Valve game in development

It's a moba with hero shooter elements

And it has stuff from uhh "movement shooters"

Being able to slide and walljump and whatever

[radiant pier]

oh a moba

[restive lantern]

Thomas loudly disagrees over people thinking loid is skinny. Which he is. Lol

[dark compass]

Loid is just dried

[radiant pier]

more like slim

[fast dew]

He. Isnt

Hes lean. Hes not skinny.

[dark compass]

He has all the muscle he needs, he's just dried

Too much stress

[radiant pier]

yeah lean/slim

[fast dew]

He has like no hips like at all, which. Is something skinny people have. Because they dont have muscle mass on their abdomen

[radiant pier]

skinny is nekros

[fast dew]

Skinny is og Albrecht from the statues

[dark compass]

Nekros has the "I took steroids but never worked them out" build

[fast dew]

So a drug addict build lol

[restive lantern]

Lean and slim are synonyms for skinny quite literally

[dark compass]

Massive body but no muscles

[tall echo]

Eeeeh

[dark compass]

And since it's my first game of that type

I'm getting completely obliterated

[radiant pier]

we talking literally straight from the English dictionary or how it's actually used in the past....few decades

[dark compass]

Design and visuals and overall feel are so good though, it's totally worth it...

I feel like once it comes out it'll have as much cultural relevance as tf2 thanks to that alone

[radiant pier]

cuz no skinny ain't nowhere near synonymous with lean like fr

[dark compass]

Whatever Loid's build is

[fast dew]

Its a sleeper build.

[dark compass]

I hope he has a couple primed mods

We got canonical stalker build once

Now we need canonical Loid build

To settle this matter once and for all

[fast dew]

Im not sure humans can have mods

[dark compass]

What warframes are, again?

[fast dew]

Infestation, mainly

[dark compass]

Well they are people at base

I'm sure you can mod a person if you have the attitude for that

[fast dew]

Maybe a loid proto or some shit

[tall echo]

Aptitude?

[dark compass]

Corpus needed a mod segment for something

[fast dew]

For weapons probably

[dark compass]

Shit why haven't I thought of that

It was all about weapons

[tall echo]

Mods go into weapons and other equipment, not the person

[dark compass]

Still, if I can swallow a trading card, Loid also can

[fast dew]

He aint special so can i

I can eat most inedible shit try me

[tall echo]

Have you seen what mods look like as loot

[dark compass]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-big-bite-cat-eat-gif-20087133

[fast dew]

I say as I cringe from eating the pomegranate I just got

[dark compass]

Primed Flow

[dark compass]

They're just packs of cards

That's why you can use one multiple times

[fast dew]

My gluttony knows no bounds

https://tenor.com/view/ultrakill-bnuuy-rabbit-meme-judgement-gif-3928824050104778200

Wrong one

[dark compass]

You take the mod drop, you open it and its just a bunch of cards in a roll

Noone will get hurt if I eat one

[fast dew]

Reckon if I cut a trading card correctly I could use it for a cigarette

[tall echo]

Doubt it

[dark compass]

Smoking that archon continuity

[tall echo]

Trading cards aren't very smoothly malleable

[fast dew]

Id need a like. Exacto blade which i dont know where are

But i think if I cut very shallow grooves I could make it bendy enough

[tall echo]

You'd also get executed if you pick the wrong card

[fast dew]

Eh they can eat dirt

[restive lantern]

Lean and slim are quite literally both in the top 5 synonyms for skinny in the thesaurus man

[tall echo]

Someone get bau, we need confirmation

[fast dew]

Synonym =/= exact meaning chat

[tall echo]

No way fatless is used more than scrawny

[fast dew]

Because we could also use . Scoop as a synonym according to that

[dark compass]

I only know about "scrawny" because of Elden Ring

[restive lantern]

I'm not sure if you know how a thesaurus works bc thats not what that means

[fast dew]

I write too much for college to not know how certain words work. But at the same time

[tall echo]

[fast dew]

I do not type like it

[tall echo]

WHAT.

[dark compass]

What

English isn't my native language

[tall echo]

Neither is it mine

[dark compass]

It's like a third language I know

[dark compass]

Congrats on styling on me JERK

Do you feel happy

Do you enjoy putting others down

Do you want me to grovel to your superior intelligence

[fast dew]

I can pipe up and say its my first but not the only one I know

Woah

[tall echo]

This is common scrap lore at this point I'm the resident evil german

[dark compass]

No you're just annoying sometimes

[tall echo]

Sometimes

[fast dew]

Scrap please dont put evil and german together like that

😭

[midnight ice]

putting gunCO on a miscellaneous unc

[tall echo]

Germans are evil

[dark compass]

You are evil, don't generalize

Just because you can't see kindness in others

[tall echo]

I struggle with emotions in general

[dark compass]

Don't make it everyone else's problem then

[tall echo]

I am everyone else's problem

[dark compass]

How unfortunate

[old wharf]

Are Kuva Liches baddies?

[tall echo]

No

[dark compass]

Does this make you feel in control?

[opaque zenith]

Debatable

[dark compass]

Sometimes

[restive lantern]

Too real

[old wharf]

Yes

[old wharf]

"Sometimes" WHAT

[radiant pier]

you may use it all you like

[dark compass]

Depends on the overall roll

[radiant pier]

I'm far too lazy to have another reminder I'm on discord

[tall echo]

Nah

I just think it's funny

[dark compass]

Ah, you see an idealized version of yourself going defensive as funny

Anyways, I actually gotta go eat now

Cold isn't doing me any favors

[restive lantern]

Be safe box!!!

[tall echo]

[old wharf]

Burger🤣

[dark compass]

You're talking like I have to murder prey for this

[restive lantern]

You basically do bc you have a cold!

[heady quest]

Guys what do we think the lore is around Veldt Prime?

[dark compass]

I ordered food...

[dark compass]

Huh?

[old wharf]

You gonna share with group?

[tall echo]

Gun
Gun: golden

[restive lantern]

No Box needs it to recover 😠

[heady quest]

So intriguing 🤔

[midnight ice]

get your own 😠

[fast dew]

Is this a. Metaphor?

[dark compass]

Maybe

I LOVE speaking in metaphors

[fast dew]

Brother speaks in riddles

[dark compass]

Yes

[old wharf]

This isn't a Metaphor, it's a learning opportunity. Let's take a look back and see what we can find.

[dark compass]

The world around us is the best storyteller

[fast dew]

True

[dark compass]

Not using those gifts is a crime

[fast dew]

Xata

[old wharf]

burger fr🤣

[fast dew]

Like how you're gonna hear a slight pigeon whistling sound around 2 am. The world is giving you a story bro time to go find it

[dark compass]

You understand it Thomas

[fast dew]

Of course I do metaphors are better than similies any day

[restive lantern]

This is so amazing lmfao

[dark compass]

People who reject vastness of the universe and call it eldritch horror are just not open minded enough

[midnight ice]

wally sits someone down and says that

[restive lantern]

^^ I was about to say, wally fr?!

[fast dew]

Clearly they dont understand that the universe isnt based around them and that they cannot deny the truth that we are ultimately insignificant

[dark compass]

If you read someone like lovecraft then you realize that what he calls eldritch horror is like

A screwdriver shaped animal and a black person dancing

[heady quest]

Bro is the riddler

[restive lantern]

LMFAOOOANDJEMC

[fast dew]

Yeah cus lovecraft was a racist ass man lmao

[restive lantern]

This TOOK ME OUT

[heady quest]

Bro wth is this 😭

[dark compass]

He mostly coined the idea

That's why I never miss taking a shot at him

[fast dew]

I think the fear of knowing that we are genuinely alone in this world is worse

[heady quest]

Based… also you’d have to have a mind to begin with. Luckily I got none so anything looks like pretty colors

[fast dew]

Nothing matters so why feel like being called cringe matters

[tall echo]

I stand by my opinion that charles le sorcerer is the only good thing lovecraft made

Just bc it's so stupid

[heady quest]

Even if we are the only planet with life, there are still 8 billion people here. We are never alone

[dark compass]

Even if we are alone in this world, my inner world is still alive and thriving

Also I have a cat so like

Who cares

[heady quest]

Yeah and cat

[restive lantern]

Wooo cats!

[tall echo]

Indeed. Bacteria

[fast dew]

Eh. Alone in our awareness and understanding of the world

A bug cannot comprehend the idea of taxes

[dark compass]

Yes, YOU are a BACTERIA in the vastness of my mind

[midnight ice]

loneliness is subjective

[dark compass]

A mere SPECK in my existence that will be forgotten

[midnight ice]

tuvul:

[tall echo]

That's some renegade angel stuff

[fast dew]

Sounds like something Gabriel ultrakill would say

[heady quest]

Sometime all we see, is not the whole… from any direction someone has your back

[dark compass]

I just like being overly dramatic :3

[fast dew]

You'd like Gabriel then.

[dark compass]

He seems religious

[fast dew]

There was. Some hella queer connotations in that last fight

[dark compass]

Zealous even

[fast dew]

Hes. A character

He comes to the realisation god is dead or no longer cares and proceeds to slaughter the orokin basically so

Hes cool I fw him

[restive lantern]

💀💀💀

[heady quest]

Honestly what if your imaginative world in your dreams is really just small bacteria in your brain running around and messing with your neurons

[dark compass]

So what?

[fast dew]

... my neurons play doom 1993 constantly

[dark compass]

Our world is also just a ball spinning in the void

[heady quest]

I would take care of my little bacteria in there good

[dark compass]

Don't be reductive to your own imagination

[fast dew]

Thats all they do in my head. I can run E1M1 from the top of my head

[tall echo]

Nah it's a bunch of random electricity

[dark compass]

Stop being a sidekick in your own powerfantasy

[heady quest]

Give them some icecream

[midnight ice]

its fornication. every gabV1el fight is fornication

[heady quest]

They might freeze to death though

[fast dew]

EXACTLY

[dark compass]

I should play Ultrakill some day

[heady quest]

Damn I am truly alone in my head then

[fast dew]

Waiting on a better name for some ships I like man I cannot be stuck with Alloid when I had bangers like Divorce Eternal

[dark compass]

You're not

[heady quest]

What if… the ball is spinning in Wally?

[dark compass]

Scrap is just being so reductive because he can't see himself as anything bigger than that

[midnight ice]

wallies all the way down

[fast dew]

Mucking.

[radiant pier]

how to summon fragmented one

[fast dew]

Unicron style bro

[heady quest]

Wally spinning our planet like a basketball on his finger

[heady quest]

You gotta take out all 60 eyes

[midnight ice]

sp fragmented one or just regular boss

[fast dew]

60 eyes....

[dark compass]

For a normal boss in both standard and sp it's just a node objective

[radiant pier]

oh there's a hole

[dark compass]

60 eyes is the hardmode version with glyph rewards

[fast dew]

I got to yap to my therapist about warframe yesterday thet was cool

[midnight ice]

what are they called officially. superbosses or hardmode bosses

[dark compass]

Hardmode bosses

[fast dew]

Superbosses

[heady quest]

We love yapping warframe

[dark compass]

I think?

[fast dew]

Oh word

[dark compass]

Neither of us truly know

Toss a coin

[fast dew]

Idk i just remember Janus vor being one

[midnight ice]

peanus vor

[dark compass]

I don't think they have a coined term

[heady quest]

I though they were just secret bosses?

[dark compass]

Because DE treat them as an open secret

Because we are getting hardmode perita bosses with Shadowgrapher and they have not officially said it outside of a couple nods

[heady quest]

I hope one of the new honorias is freeing all ostrons during the new war quest

[heady quest]

But that is a whole gamemode no?

[dark compass]

Uh?

[midnight ice]

the guilty?

[heady quest]

Maybe the way to unlock the guilty gamemode is to do all three modes on steelpath

[gritty dew]

im confused about what happened during the Whisper in the wall quest, can someone give me a run down?

[heady quest]

Yeah the guilty is a whole new super hard gamemode that will be unlocked if you do something special

And it seems like that gamemode will have all bosses in a row

[dark compass]

What I said is that with the update they'll add some sort of interactable map piece in Perita missions that unlock hardmode bossfights

Apparently

[opaque zenith]

They said it is a "hidden prompt" on the perita map iirc. Or the comment above, lol

[heady quest]

Oh like that

[dark compass]

Yeah so basically like any hardmode boss before

Can't wait for hardmode vanguards be just

A bunch of metaslave builds

[heady quest]

I hope there is something more to it? 😂 like I feel like they hyped it up pretty high

For it to only be a hidden prompt

[dark compass]

It's not about the guilty mode

It's a separate thing

[heady quest]

Well the prompt activates the secret boss and then would activate the guilty no?

After you complete all three most likely?

[opaque zenith]

I worded wrong, but it's something that unlocks the separate guilty mode, that only people who got it can matchmake

[midnight ice]

pre-nerf kuva bramma wukong, revenant that keeps casting mesmer skin, enervate hildryn

[heady quest]

Oh gotcha

Yo what if the secret boss turns it into ballas himself

We can clap his ass again

[tall echo]

Bruh

[heady quest]

Maybe I just have encephalitis?

[dark compass]

No you're fine

[heady quest]

Hell yeah!

[glass sluice]

you should really use a different euphemism, there.

[main arch]

I've the funny feeling that Dante Prime lore will also be that he literally just wrote it into reality.

[dark compass]

I feel like it's much easier

"here's Dante before void ate him"

[main arch]

Somewhere we come across a data slate deep in the lab that has his prime BPs lmao

Or just has aya for it

[glass sluice]

Dante Prime trailer is just going to be him writing his own Ao3 page.

[dire mountain]

It might have something to do with the hunhullus in chains unlock-wise 🤔

[uneven dune]

is there any sub stories about umbra after main one?

[dark compass]

With Ekhein Prime

Concentrated power of yaoi

[glass sluice]

We're finally going to get a Grimoire being noticed by DE, count on it.

[dark compass]

There was literally a skin for it recently

They remember

[glass sluice]

fun fact: the Grimoire continues to get attention via new frame animations, but Arm weapons have been basically forgotten.

[dark compass]

They just release 100 skins instead of actual books

[dark compass]

Tbf grimoire has plot significance

Arm cannons don't

[glass sluice]

I honestly don't care what weapons are "canon" and what aren't, all the guns are part of the canon.

[fast dew]

Mm, isnt it that alt fire weapons typically dont get primes? Or was that for kuva weapons

Id also argue that the grimoire wasnt intentionally a weapon

[glass sluice]

I mean I haven't gone through them all, but that can not be the case that a gun with an alt-fire doesn't get a Prime version.

That's just silly.

[dark compass]

That was for incarnons

Because same input

[ashen pulsar]

can't activate incarnon if it only alt fires

[dark compass]

Not a problem on pc

But on consoles it is

[ashen pulsar]

we could just rebind yeah

[fast dew]

Some controllers have weird keybinds occasionally

[dark compass]

Yeah custom stuff that isn't usually official

[glass sluice]

If DE wanted to, they could make it work.

[dark compass]

What alt fire weapon do you want an incarnon for?

[fast dew]

Actually you know what I hate

[ashen pulsar]

begins with an S, ends with a tug

[fast dew]

Adaptive trigger controls. Or like. Haptic input is another word for it

[glass sluice]

I actually don't want any more Incarnons, because I'm sick to death of having to go through the bloody Circuit.

[fast dew]

Like no I just want to shoot the gun please god my hands hurt enough

[dark compass]

Can't you just disable that?

[fast dew]

You can, but.

Sometimes it reverts or just doesnt have the same name

And it pisses me off

So bad.

[jaunty siren]

just expand more on the lore

wait wrong spot

[mild cave]

Oop what did i miss?

[fast dew]

Adaptive trigger controls and my hand hating them

[mild cave]

Man i would have loved to be here to see that 😔

Sad violin time

I swear all i could see is literally you staring at this guy like this:

[fast dew]

Me core tbh

[strange turtle]

It’s a Quantum Septum

Randomly disappears and reappears from the model depending on if it’s a cutscene or gameplay(?)

[restive river]

Aren’t removable septums a thing?
Or
No?

[fast dew]

Yeah absolutely

Its just annoying lmao

[dark compass]

Yeah like almost all piercing

[midnight ice]

fell off and he has to reattach it

[dark compass]

Or all piercing if you're brave enough

[mild cave]

POV: Someone is pissing me off, so i call loid

[fast dew]

Go my loid, go murder parvos

[strange turtle]

Yeah but its not meant to in this case, that part of his model just does that for some reason

[dark compass]

whatever. go my Loid

[fast dew]

https://tenor.com/view/whatever-go-my-scarab-scarab-assyst-gif-9837798423909404507

[dark compass]

Yes

Just need to edit the scarab into Loid and all that

[midnight ice]

https://tenor.com/view/whatever-go-my-scarab-go-my-scarab-fishingfan1967-fishingfan-gif-6839615133506986936

[fast dew]

Fish...

[dark compass]

Oh and also add Ekhein to it

Like he's flying out wielding Ekhein

[restive river]

Ah lol

[woven coyote]

Hmmm need one with a mergoo instead

[minor axle]

Pointless detail, but this is the kitgun Chipper uses in Archon Hunt Defences.

Any ideas of a name for it?

[twin wigeon]

Makes sense

[dark compass]

Chopper

For Chipper

[tall echo]

puncture-cutter

[twin wigeon]

Gun™

[woven coyote]

mucker blenderr

[marble hound]

When we take the Cathedral protoframes on dates using the photo thingie, are we technically taking them really there or is it some kind of simulation that they can hop on? I mean, Marie says that she talked to Ordis in the Drifter's Camp so...

[humble sierra]

Cathedrale protos aren't really trapped like the Hex/Roundtable are

They can ||enter the Necralisk so they're not bound to the Sanctum|| or other void pockets. This means they are likely able to get to the rest of the Origin System, including the Zariman, so they can enter Duviri from there. The only weird one I don't know how they get to is Lyon's Cold Below date.

[stiff beacon]

Simulacrum

Maybe

[marble hound]

Hope one day we get the chance to bring everyone to the "present" and use Drifter's Camp as the main base with a camp upgrade expansion

[marble hound]

Could be

[sick scarab]

I have something that's been on my mind about Nokko and his design.
There's a good chance that what I'm thinking may be non-canon though.
Is this an okay place to talk about it? Or is there a better channel for this?

[minor axle]

Nokko, nokko. Nokko nokko, nokko nokko!

Uh, I mean...

Vorac Harpi

[strange turtle]

Here’s fine

[sick scarab]

Cool, cool.

So... I have absolutely no idea why I think this.
And I'm fairly sure it's not canon.

But when I look at my Nokko in-game, I keep getting this odd "He might be trans masc" vibe.

I have no idea what specifically is making me think that.
And again, I'm fairly sure this isn't canon.
But something about the design I have in these screenshots just feels... "trans masc" to me?

[jolly root]

To me he just looks young

[obtuse umbra]

Mushroom soup

[sand vine]

ye, i mean, you can headcanon him as trans if you want. trans or not he's jus a lil guy and as a mushroom enthusiast/botany and mycology student i adore him

[sick scarab]

Oh I agree. He's a cool mushroom dude who wants to play with bouncy balls, and that'll never change 😄

[sick scarab]

Also, thanks for reminding me that headcanons exist
I genuinely forgot they were a thing that existed lol

[sand vine]

lol i feel it

[restive river]

He’s Yareli’s younger brother in vibes so it may just be cause he looks so young comparatively

But also yes headcanons exist

[sick scarab]

In any case, now I have the cool thought of Yareli and Nokko at a pride parade
Staunch defenders of trans rights, by use of living hoverboards and sleepy mushrooms if need be :p

[chrome rivet]

So how exactly are Incarnon weapons are made?

[restive river]

Conceptual embodiment

Inbox message:
Incarnon Genesis

Hey.

Heard you been grubbing around in the Zariman's backyard. That little tinpot 'kingdom'.

Well, in my extensive downtime, I've been having thoughts about weapons. How I could upgrade 'em. Give 'em a sprinkle of Void magic. And guess what? The Void did what the Void does. Took my ideas and made them real. How about that.

So if you've picked up a… let's call it an Incarnon Genesis, why not? An Incarnon Genesis, bring it to me and I'll get it installed for ya.

Slaughter awaits,
Cavalero

PS: Yonta says I need to say this very clearly: I cannot adapt a weapon you do not own. I will need both the Incarnon Genesis AND the weapon it applies to. Understood? I am not running a charity here.

[radiant pier]

oh he is missing a finger

fairs @fast dew

is that why he hasn't just erased us from reality

because he can't until he's whole?

....is that why he's chasing Albrecht around

[arctic mulch]

Lf help for start chart

[loud oriole]

in lore discussion?

[restive river]

It is why he isn’t as powerful, without it he’s confined to conceptually embodied timelines
Aka he needs his Murmur, his Fragmented to tether such timelines so he can act

Albrecht doesn’t have the original as far as we know, Yonta said they were locked up iirc
I believe one of the originals was in Duviri on Scholar’s Landing at one point

[glass sluice]

maybe they want to start an exercise chart for their Operator.

[fast dew]

Yeah lol

[fast dew]

True! One probably was. Maybe yonta will be important maybe, she seems to know where they are. Maybe

[radiant pier]

time to spend 20 minutes on nodes

do I need to do the extra Deimos ones?

[fast dew]

Uhh yeah

[austere moon]

So why did Adis eject the tenno when they lost transference but didn't do anything to the drifter who DIDNT have transference at the time

[restive river]

She has a better idea than we do lol

[strange plinth]

given that the purge precept happened in a dream sequence, it may not even exist

[ashen pulsar]

for sp?

no

[radiant pier]

owke

[swift sentinel]

#builds-discussion

[feral cape]

Thats also assuming he can just do that

We dont actually know the scope of wallys power we just know hes strong

[restive river]

Depending on his exact origin he may not entirely know
Maybe

If he was purely born from Albrecht’s fear then he had full power for what
A few minutes?
Then he got the worst paper-cut ever, de-powering him

[uneven dune]

what actually happened to earth here

[glass sluice]

We tried to solve the techrot problem with nukes, it did not go well.

Drifter references the "Radiation Wars".

[midnight ice]

we tried at least 18 times

[feral cape]

Which is why I say were assuming he can do that

In my opinion I think he may only be capable of what we think he should be

[lean garden]

*at least 18

[feral cape]

19ths time the charm

[midnight ice]

maybe a hint shouldve been gotten at the 17th war

[feral cape]

Im telling ya

Just one more radiation war and the techrots gone

[strange turtle]

Good news! The techrots gone

Bad news, it had a baby

[restive river]

Agreed

[rotund swallow]

Just finished new war today. Holy shit what a peak game

[uneven dune]

wait isn’t it 1999 timeline

I actually mean the main universe one

[stiff beacon]

That sounds like someone who has a gambling problem.

[lean garden]

its the same timelome

[ocean geyser]

1999 isn’t a different timeline

That’s basically it

I mean yea but someone also nudged a stone in the triassic period

How else do you explain animals in the hollvania zoo section of the hollvania tileset

[midnight ice]

aurafarmed too hard

[opaque zenith]

Game universe is different from irl universe from the ground up.
Mr. Freeman is a multiversal canon event, tho

[radiant pier]

we do not talk about how scary as hell the infestation on deimos got

@fast dew why does no one talk about it

[dark compass]

Because it's part of citrine grind

And nobody wants to talk about it

[radiant pier]

the what grind

[dark compass]

[fast dew]

Mm? Yeah its just infestation shit

[dark compass]

Belric the bold

Rania the clever

[fast dew]

Rania...

Lovers !!! CE'd a tunnel to each other

[dark compass]

Unleashed the infested on Deimos forever

[fast dew]

Which. Is weird that wally hasn't tried to get their asses

[radiant pier]

I genuinely think the infestation is worse than the tyrannids and even the flood

[fast dew]

Youd think that the tunnel of love would be Wally's biggest enemy

[dark compass]

Node where you farm Citrine touches upon how some of this happened

[dark compass]

And not just a tunnel of love. Void Tunnel of Love

[opaque zenith]

It's standart procedure to ignore any overrun celestial body, see Eris for example

[dark compass]

That crossed with duviri

[fast dew]

Its proof that wally isnt the void yk

[radiant pier]

Nora Night is one of the greatest additions ever

[fast dew]

Mhm. She's why we saw Nihil and put him in the toob

[radiant pier]

"the body still lingers"

I'd love to listen to a podcast

the way the stories are told are so cool

usually I get annoyed by these in other games but I actually really enjoy it here

[fast dew]

Well. The oubliette nihil is in, is like. His own but yk

I wish we could play the nightwave parts tbh

Ill forever be upset that I missed the cephalites

[radiant pier]

what nightwave parts

[fast dew]

There were these like. Campaigns? Stories? You could participate in nightwave

[radiant pier]

you can't access them anymore?

[fast dew]

The Glassmaker, The Emissary and the wolf of Saturn 6
-# is it of the saturn 6 or Saturn 6

[midnight ice]

wolf of Saturn 6

[radiant pier]

I wish Wukong actually turned into a cloud

[fast dew]

Not the interactable parts

[midnight ice]

its a location

[fast dew]

Mm? Sick

[midnight ice]

I WANTTTT THE STORY OF THE WOLF :( SO BAD

[fast dew]

Still no cephalites though 💔

[midnight ice]

nightwave no reruns will kill me

[fast dew]

The cephalites are a niche bit of lore you see literally noone talk about and its balls

[radiant pier]

PLEASE DE, PLEASE GIVE WUKONG A SKIN THAT CHANGES HIS CLOUD INTO THE FLYING NIMBUS

[opaque zenith]

Not fully, you can see the cutscenes, but the surprise allies/enemies (emissary), surprise boss (saturn 6) and surprise hol' up + crime scene puzzle (glassmaker) are gone

[radiant pier]

WOAH THE SARYN HUMAN LADY IS DIVINE

[fast dew]

Someone just met Minerva lol

[radiant pier]

nono, ESO

dang....maybe I should main Saryn too...

[fast dew]

Yeah, thats her name, the Sayrn protoframe

Its Minerva

She has a loser husband and its neat

[radiant pier]

....can he fight?

[fast dew]

Yk if I had a dollar for every time someone had a whelp of a husband in warframe id have at least 2 dollars

[radiant pier]

NO, CAN THEY ADOPT ME?

[fast dew]

He's the frost proto 💀

[pale cedar]

Not much but it happened twice which is something

[radiant pier]

I'LL KILL HIM

[fast dew]

And they're somewhat related story wise too

Both got screwed by Albrecht

[radiant pier]

how many quests between jade and the old peace

[fast dew]

Mm. None?

[radiant pier]

wait it's deadass the next one?

[fast dew]

No you could've done it yoinks ago

[radiant pier]

where'd homi go they were just here

[opaque zenith]

Technically yes? He calls you little guy so there's that (Drifter's the same height as warframes btw)

[pale cedar]

If I had a dollar for everytime Albrecht was Albrecht I feel I'd be a millionaire

[radiant pier]

LMFAO

never gonna spend on this game again until a 75% off

[fast dew]

Maybe we're just thinner than Velmnir... velminir... velmir....vlmr...

Screw his name i cannot consistently spell it

[pale cedar]

Velimir Volkov II

[fast dew]

Recorded Albrecht moments or presumed Albrecht moments

Because one is significantly less than the other

[opaque zenith]

Velma a mimir ||

[pale cedar]

I wonder what happened to
Velimir Volkov I

[fast dew]

His father probably

[fast dew]

Mrimrirmirmir.. the secnd

Kalymimimimimimi

Eepy kalymos

[opaque zenith]

The war (quite litteraly according to the kim)

[tall echo]

There are MUCH more complex names

[fast dew]

Which is the worst part, I can spell weirdass names here but I couldnt spell his

[tall echo]

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia?

[fast dew]

Mm, Murrumbidgee for one

[radiant pier]

what

[fast dew]

Talking about weird names and how my parameters for hard to spell names are really odd

[strange turtle]

Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides

[radiant pier]

@fast dew hi

[mortal cedar]

Yo Joel I got myself an Atlas prime set : D

[radiant pier]

during survival missions, Lotus says that we are to distract the enemy so that a "lone tenno operative" may raid the place

does she mean an operative that works with the tenno or an actual other Tenno

[radiant pier]

YAYYY

[fast dew]

Thats a good question, its left ambiguous i think

[fast dew]

Bacon prime

[radiant pier]

hmmm we know there are other Tenno that're alive

....right?

[fast dew]

Yeah

We see some in. Its called Erra, yeah? We blast the hell out of Erra

[radiant pier]

wasn't that a flashback?

[fast dew]

I might be schizo though

[radiant pier]

okay we're stuck on a loading screen

how do I leave

[fast dew]

Rip

[strange turtle]

Yeah but nothing happened that’d make it so they’d suddenly just die

[fast dew]

Alt f4 bro

[mortal cedar]

not sure if I'm gonna build him tho

[radiant pier]

oh why?

gasp I can craft the kompressa prime

I just need....the receiver we'll see how this last radiant relic goes for me

[mortal cedar]

Cause the builds I follow got variants and idk which one to follow

[radiant pier]

I'm gonna be honest I just wanna cosplay one punch man

[mortal cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/garou-one-punch-man-anime-opm-season-3-gif-8640489578546184390

[radiant pier]

there were a pair of gauntlets that came out with Atlas Prime right?

[mortal cedar]

The tekko prime

[radiant pier]

I'll just grab a set of those and color em red

[strange turtle]

There being multiple gets mentioned in a KIM chat, plus Operations and a bunch of other stuff relies on their being a bunch of Tenno across the system at any given point

[radiant pier]

are the tekko primes good

[mortal cedar]

not sure

[radiant pier]

KIM chat?

also the way the tenno work(children of the void tomfoolery), is the system largely unaware of that part?

[fast dew]

Yeah, only a certain amount know

[radiant pier]

cuz the factions keep saying they've killed tenno before

I'm assuming they just call Warframes the Tenno

[fast dew]

They mean the warframes usually

Loid seemed. Surprised at the sight of the operator, but i cannot find it on the transcript. I know he yells for us when the vessel goes to squish us

And I swore it was operator

[dark compass]

They refer to warframes

[radiant pier]

knew it!

[dark compass]

Lots of times(I think it was Alad?) They tried to perform dissection them as well

[radiant pier]

Xaku Prime is such a peak design...

[dark compass]

Only be dumbfounded because there's... Nothing really of importance inside control wise

[rose estuary]

Wouldn’t they just find infestation since warframes are infested?

[opaque zenith]

And they do, no one call them robots or mechanical-based names. Just puppets, metal beasts, devils, but no clanker or similar

[ashen pulsar]

although stalker might kill tenno

[pale cedar]

Nah, he has beheaded Warframes rather than killing children he gave up wanting to fight us in Second Dream because of that fact

[tall echo]

stalker has never killed a tenno directly :)

[ashen pulsar]

they really do make it sound like he doess

[opaque zenith]

He might as in he has the means yes, but he cleary hesitates to kill the actual child, only killing the frames (and colecting their heads but ||a dad needs his hobbies||)

[ashen pulsar]

we dont really know if he has the means, honestly

[wooden minnow]

Anyone wanna help me speed run a hive for Alad V quest?

[opaque zenith]

K, fair, void shenanigans. But mental instability plays some role in "taking the tenno out of comission" and second dream was an unique opportunity, in which he hesitaded

[ashen pulsar]

ballas did say "you cannot kill the devil" when referring to the tenno. We know that's wrong, because we know of tenno that died.

we nearly died from the hunhullus, somehow

[dark compass]

It was just such a powerful imagery

I would've accepted my death just to stay appropriate for the moment

[ashen pulsar]

huh?

[dark compass]

The "crucified" excal, the life of death confrontation

The context of two connected souls fighting over the survival of a whole species

[ashen pulsar]

oh

[dark compass]

I would've died just to preserve the vibe

[ashen pulsar]

yeah, but how tf did we die

[fast dew]

Symbolism

[dark compass]

[fast dew]

We got the shit beaten out of us

[ashen pulsar]

or nearly die

[dark compass]

Thomas gets it

You die a symbol

[fast dew]

You can kinda see it, we are. Bloody

Bruised and bloody

[dark compass]

A powerful image

[tall echo]

yeah he's an idiot

[ashen pulsar]

so what? warframes get destroyed all the time

[fast dew]

Yeah cus doom has similar stuff

[tall echo]

tenno are mortal

[opaque zenith]

You kinda should've waited 3 days to hit self revive, tbh

[fast dew]

Yeah, but I mean us as in the tenno, iirc we are also hurt in that fight

[ashen pulsar]

how

[dark compass]

Symbolism too strong

[tall echo]

I maintain my stance that the operator would've died if ballas didn't yeet them into the void

[dark compass]

[fast dew]

I. Have a screenie of my mucked up operator somewhere

[ashen pulsar]

the symbolism transcends sensibility

[dark compass]

Hey, we have conceptual embodiment

[ashen pulsar]

so powerful the tenno nearly died through the warframe

[dark compass]

It's the same but from getting punched in the face epicly

[midnight ice]

had to hit the gently-cradled crucifix pose

[dark compass]

The emotion, the symbolism, the strength of the moment

[midnight ice]

i mean god damn

[dark compass]

You just die because that's what the eternal plan of the universe demands

[ashen pulsar]

right

can the eternal plan of the universe resurrect balls so we can murder him a few more times

[fast dew]

Look at how messed up the operator is

[dark compass]

Monkeys paw curls, he is a protoframe now

[ashen pulsar]

ok
gonna kill him anyways

[fast dew]

Looks. Kinda like internal bleeding

[ashen pulsar]

HOW

HOW DID WE GET HURT

[dark compass]

Symbolism

[fast dew]

On the neck specifically

[dark compass]

Ok sorry I'll stop

[fast dew]

That looks like internal bleeding

[midnight ice]

mfw we're martyrs of senseless violence

[midnight ice]

ITS FOR THE SYMBOLISM

[dark compass]

That's where the power is

[fast dew]

Yeah its in the mitochondria

[ashen pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/cbt-balls-torture-vasectomy-gif-1078895285841344170

[dark compass]

The symbolism of the cell

[ashen pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/qazqaz-gif-6790593549618684130

[dark compass]

The cat stands, the water keeps flowing

[midnight ice]

what if we were the most powerful war machines of a soon-to-die empire is depicted as a vulnerable, pseudo-crucified, resigned dead thing and we ended cradled the hands of another war machine. and what if we were both kids. and what if we were both martyrs of a war that doesn't even remember us. and what if we don't even remember ourselves

[dark compass]

It's like orks in warhammer

[midnight ice]

wouldnt that be messed up

[dark compass]

But with conceptual embodiment

[midnight ice]

this is why ballas' lower half was split btw. its for trhe symbolism

[fast dew]

Not because we ruined his spine or anything

[midnight ice]

yeah nah

[dark compass]

It's both!!!

[fast dew]

Ballas and his weird freaky ass legs

Once again I bring up the idea that the skull on bonewidow is a replica of Mother's what do we think chat

[tall echo]

more likely mother's mother, or grandmother

it's made in honor of the family's matriarch and before albrecht left, so it likely isn't gomaitru

[fast dew]

The matriarch would be mother, not grandmother as she came into the family, and given Vilcor never met Gerivaine, I have my doubts its her

[tall echo]

I don't think that prevents grandma from being matriarch...

[fast dew]

Mother is the dominant side of the family

[tall echo]

actually

[fast dew]

The Entrati absorbed the Vorten family

[tall echo]

the matriarch honoria needs mother tokens

you're right

[fast dew]

Different reasoning but they both came to the same conclusion

[dark compass]

Deep metaphysical link between narrative and gameplay

[fast dew]

Its still so funny to me that grandmother has the balls to just call Albrecht. Albrecht.

We see daughter say his full name, but thats a different sort of thing

[dawn ingot]

What’s up with the white tree roots in the orbiter?

[midnight ice]

arboriforms

present in orokin void and in the orokin derelict but infested

i thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink its theorized that they carry power

or other such things

they're also around the rj reliquary

[fast dew]

Mm, are they?

[midnight ice]

to which statement

[nervously second guessing myself]

[fast dew]

The reliquary part

[midnight ice]

yeah around the base

[fast dew]

Nah bro I get that so bad

[midnight ice]

lemme get a pic

[fast dew]

Damn my memory SUCKS

[midnight ice]

when you first put in the key it grows either from the rj or from the reliquary

[fast dew]

All I remember or the railjack reliquary drive is that its distinctively non Entrati looking tech

[midnight ice]

so they could be void energy conduits, sorta?

[fast dew]

Mm, does the heart have them?

[woven coyote]

And operator room iirc behind the chair

[woven coyote]

Heart had thicker veins and arteries

[midnight ice]

good question i dont think so

naur

[fast dew]

Maybe it draws from the finger/us/void reservoirs somewhere, or it may be a secondary distributor? Heart delivers power to a main area, then smaller things deliver it to the actual place needed

[midnight ice]

likely, they're like

house wires vs the Heart's kilowatt-rated cables

mind that these things are also all over in the Lua walls

[fast dew]

Thats. Exactly what I said 😭

[midnight ice]

ok ignore the or i'm sleepy

[fast dew]

Fair

My meds are. Beating me rn so I get that

But i got brownies in the oven so I gotta keep myself up
-# at 4 in the morning

[nocturne plover]

Where was Hunhow’s whereabouts during the old peace exactly?

[woven coyote]

We have no idea

[nocturne plover]

hrmmmm

[woven coyote]

Our memories are still quite messy

[pale cedar]

It's Wally looking tech

[fast dew]

Orokin tech based around Albrecht's own design i feel

The only one I can see being directly his would be the zariman railjack

RELIQUARY.

[pale cedar]

I feel Mother is the supplier

Since she supplied the lesson too

And fingers are probably only held onto by the Family

[fast dew]

We can find a few in the labs yeah

Only place you'll find them, when they're not hooked up to smthn

I think the entrati had a hand in the zariman reliquaries, but didn't do shit with the railjack reliquary after a certain model perhaps

[pale cedar]

We know they had a hand in it tbh

Mother supplied the lesson

[fast dew]

Yeah the giant obol covered ball says as much lmfao

That reliquary looks much more. Raw. Old yk

[midnight ice]

strangest design is the zariman reliquary tbh. such a dissonance and contrast from the rest of the zariman shape language

too kuva grineer

[pale cedar]

Albrecht also flat out says he put the stars within reach

[midnight ice]

screams early orokin to me

has the orokin void key shape but no gold chintz

[fast dew]

Look up at the ceiling, obols

[pale cedar]

Tbh the Orokin didn't make everything gold

Just most things

[midnight ice]

i know but its distinctly off

[fast dew]

It feels more entrati, than generic orokin. Mainly cus obols but it is significantly different enough from the regular railjack

Im thinking its a earlier prototype deal

[midnight ice]

yeah but even more utilitarian than entrati

no gold at all

[fast dew]

Which is why im thinking its a prototype, make it work, then make it good looking

[midnight ice]

THE SPIDER THING. what is that

[pale cedar]

Think the Entrati Family is still dysfunctional?

[midnight ice]

why do they have kuva grineer aesthetics in the zariman era

[fast dew]

They absolutely are

[fast dew]

Maybe its. A later addition?

[midnight ice]

its so out of place. whats the kuva doing there anyway.....

[fast dew]

After countless grineer invasions i wouldn't be surprised

[midnight ice]

have to sleep but GRR

[pale cedar]

Well the Queens are Orokin

[fast dew]

Well, void and kuva are linked. So id imagine it has that as some reason

[midnight ice]

i dont think the queens had a hand in the Zariman 10

[pale cedar]

They had a hand in what Kuva Grineer wear

[woven coyote]

You mean the thing the grineer brought during the angels quest?

[fast dew]

Oh word

[midnight ice]

oh my god i missed thst they brought it in

[fast dew]

[midnight ice]

ok yeah problem solved

[fast dew]

[midnight ice]

😭 🙏

[fast dew]

Interesting, there's a shield

[pale cedar]

For some reason I almost never see Grineer as the event on the Zariman

Swear Parvos be sending in the troops more

[ashen pulsar]

Most defense targets have shields

that's prob the same thing

[fast dew]

Yeah, but I mean from a lore standpoint

[ashen pulsar]

from a lore standpoint, I imagine the shields would be, y'know, shields

[fast dew]

Im wondering why they felt it was necessary to add shields to something drenched in the void, as if the void isnt super dangerous

[ashen pulsar]

cuz if you damage the unstable void thing who knows what could happen

[woven coyote]

Probably that yeah

[midnight ice]

[golden raptor]

is this another hint as to where kaya is? idk what she's referring to

[midnight ice]

i think she outright tells you

[fast dew]

... the mercury relay.

[midnight ice]

in the convo before this she specifically mentions Larunda?

swear

[golden raptor]

yeah i already found her there, and then the day after, I recieve this

[fast dew]

Yeah thats probably why

[midnight ice]

just her post-ending lines

[golden raptor]

oh. i thought she somehow made it into the operator room in the orbiter or the dormizone or somethign lol

[pale cedar]

She's just saying if you're in 1999 come to Origin if you're in Origin come to the Relay

[golden raptor]

what is this statue of neci doing hidden in isleweaver? i've finished it a couple of times and never had an encounter where I had to go to this area. some kind of puzzle?

[glass sluice]

Where is she in the Relay? I looked around but couldn't find her.

[golden raptor]

behind central statue, at the window

[glass sluice]

Which statue, or alternatively: what room?

[pale cedar]

She's sitting on the ledge

Main social area ledge when you walk in

[glass sluice]

oh yep found her, ta

was expecting more than one line of dialogue, but still cool she's there

[restive river]

She’s there cause Wally is driving her body around
Iirc it’s up high on a ledge in Scholar’s Landing
You are meant to kneel before it, akin to the Thrax statues that want you to do the same thing
Kneeling spawns an item crate

[fast dew]

Ducky is alive hello ducky

[restive river]

I know not how I am alive but I am

[tall echo]

There are more lines

[glass sluice]

I tried to talk to her 5 times, each one gave the same line.
So unless it's context specific in one way, the RNG for them is real bad.

[drowsy saddle]

What are the lore implications of the murmur growing thick lips after wally took control of Rusalka

[tall echo]

Coincidence

[drowsy saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/coincidence-i-think-not-coincidence-i-think-not-the-incredibles-gif-5096707

[ocean geyser]

Kneeling may also spawn a scuttler

[restive river]

Aww, baby :)

[hollow wagon]

Does Koumei have any connection to Duviri? With her decree ability

[feral cape]

Nk

[pale cedar]

No

Decrees for both are pure gameplay mechanic with no lore relevance to each other

[wooden cave]

https://tenor.com/view/jerma-pov-choke-asmr-jerma985-gif-21279120

[wooden cave]

only thing that matters is I LOVE GAMBLING WOOO

lore? koumei?
no I think u mean crippling gambling addiction
10000 relics opened, only 2 had what I needed type vibes

[strong viper]

Because i wont let them take you from us

[wooden cave]

anyways I just remembered 1999 does romance stuff
should probably get into doing that

[restive river]

Only if ya want, it’s entirely optional

My best advice
Talk to ||Quincy|| for dating advice and treat them like real people

[wooden cave]

well I wanna do everything it has
it's a really fun part of the game, 1999 that is

[wooden cave]

noted noted

[restive river]

Who’s your top pick?

[wooden cave]

hmmm
unsure since I haven't gotten far into the romance stuff
-# but arthur does seem like my kinda man, albeit a bit basic

[strong viper]

I was sold on ele but eventually got tired of her walls and ended up with aoi. Probably better for my psyche but talking to arthur became a bit more cringe

[wooden cave]

also god amir knows how to python?
this mf really IS a nerd

[restive river]

LOL

I wish you luck in your romance endeavors and in coming to know the Hex

We have 6 very good options
||and 3 meh ones||

[dusty dragon]

Can I talk to them without romancing them?

[restive river]

It’s entirely optional, yes!

[dusty dragon]

Good, I don't wanna accidentally do things. I've had that issue in other games.

[restive river]

If you don’t want to date them you even get a secret cutscene

It will specify when you can confess your feelings

At most you may get one or two flirting with you but you should be fine if you don’t advance

[strange plinth]

i think almost every choice that leads to dating will have a [Confess feelings.] next to it, yeah

[dusty dragon]

I don't like romance stuff, I may be old but it always makes me feel icky.

[strange plinth]

perfectly fine, that's why its optional

[restive river]

Oh if you really want to ensure you don’t go down that road you could use the Kimulacrum website but I would recommend not using that for the first loop
For the Hex at least

[tulip iron]

||holy hell, i'm glad i never had the story spoiled but who was gonna tell me i could loose (for a little bit) my waframe?! scare the crap outta me when i thought i made the wrong choice going for the queens||

[ashen pulsar]

||wait till they get to TNW||

[tulip iron]

[tropic echo]

so i know basically everyone knows about the Hex symbols on their respective members, but ||I got curious about the Round Table, since I noticed Velimir (who DOES join certain missions) had them but not Flare (who... technically doesn't?)
sure enough, same was true of Minerva, (who did have one and does join) and Kaya (who doesn't join nor have a... definitive symbol)
makes me wonder, i suppose...
and also i guess sad not to have official loadouts for Flare/Kaya, lmao||

[fast dew]

Flare and Kaya arent soldiers

Minerva and Velimir were

Thats why

[strange plinth]

Flare has their signature Riot-848, at least

[fast dew]

Which. Didnt Albrecht modify or smthn

[strange plinth]

it has obols

so made or modified, yea

[tropic echo]

fair argument, actually
suppose that makes Amir/Eleanor exceptions (or something, idk, they at least seem to be a little more acclimated)

[fast dew]

Albrecht when it comes to making random ass weapons

[tropic echo]

also a flamethrower, but that thing's independant and they didn't ask for it, so idk if that counts

[strange plinth]

weird little thing
v forgettable weapon imo

[austere moon]

So why did Adis eject the tenno when they lost transference but didn't do anything to the drifter who DIDNT have transference at the time

[fast dew]

Tbf Eleanor was close to the war anyway, as a war journalist

[fast dew]

What? Adis never interacted with the drifter

[strange plinth]

yeah Lizzie technically isn't in the loadout, as she's an ability

[fast dew]

Looks very entrati.

[austere moon]

haha mb
So why did ORDIS eject the tenno when they lost transference but didn't do anything to the drifter who DIDNT have transference at the time

😭 god their names are similar

[strange plinth]

purge precept happened in a dream sequence, so it may not even exist

[fast dew]

Or ordis edited the purge precept to accept the same entity, not the void power aspect

[austere moon]

interesting, so I guess its not explicitly explained

[fast dew]

Some things just arent explained

[strange plinth]

drifter also would've shown up while the orbiter was already in stasis. not really able to purge them out of a ship not in space

[fast dew]

Like why Albrecht has voidrigs in his labs if he left before Petros met Euleria

I am. So confused about that timeline.

[pallid spoke]

That whole sequence was effectively a fever-dream imposed by the Elder Queen to break our mind so she could perform Continuity on us. That's why afterwards Ordis was worried that our mind was destroyed.

Of course, we resisted it thanks to Teshin's interference.

[twin whale]

waow I caught Aoi speaking Jipanguese!

I didn't know she did

[fast dew]

Yeah, a chunk of the protos speak a different language

[twin whale]

I made a claim that she's the only one who doesn't

[fast dew]

Lyon, marie, Aoi, Lettie. I think M and V would too, but that does come from them being. Spies n all

Probably Amir too

[twin whale]

I haven't noticed arthur and eleanor speak British tho, but I never notice when people use ou spelling or specifically englando or americano words

[fast dew]

Oh and Kaya is supposed to be Filipino, so she would too i think

[dusty dragon]

I have a question. Do we speak something like common or is it called English? Also do the base grineer speak something different or are just too corrupt to understand?

[twin whale]

It would be like Britannic

and the American accent would be Libertatian

[fast dew]

I mean, realistically there isnt much difference between American english and British english, just certain spelling. So, if you can find them using colour, with a U, it would be British english

[twin whale]

I caught M calling V something funny in what I think is Romanian

[twin whale]

Also phrases, which in an AU with this different of an evolution can't be guaranteed

[dusty dragon]

I steal phrases and spellings from both.

[fast dew]

Idk if DE uses American english or British english in the game though, its only really noticble by the spelling of words, and thats. Not something you really notice

[dusty dragon]

It is fun.

[fast dew]

Im Australian, its only natural for me to use a mix of both

[twin whale]

these are the named lands they come from, but there's also Gualica or however they'd spell that word for France

[fast dew]

Gaule

[twin whale]

there we go

[fast dew]

Gaul is an old name for france, but like. really old

[twin whale]

I forget if Marie calls the language Gaulique or whatever

[fast dew]

Not 1899 old ykim

[twin whale]

they're roman in Gaul

Roman bands of Gauls

Roaman around

[strange plinth]

grineer and corpus do speak separate languages, but also speak the same language as the tenno
there is next to no linguistic drift between 1999 and the current origin system, so a lot of language stuff is hand-waved away

[fast dew]

Wonder if the romani folk ever got to france

[twin whale]

orokin naming schemes for all the funny guns and such seem like the only candidate

but most of the planet locations are what you'd expect

except for the dropped n of Lua

[fast dew]

Literally no linguistic drift at all, somehow german survived

[dusty dragon]

So, all the funny German words survived?

Even antibabypillen?

[twin whale]

DAS DREADLOCK PROTOKOL

[fast dew]

Based on Albrecht being called little Bengel by his mother, probably

[twin whale]

when was Albrecht born? like, before people turned blue in the face?

or did he just not go with that fashion

[fast dew]

He was blue once

[dusty dragon]

And most of the frames have German folktale roots.

[twin whale]

he blue himself and then got off the blue

[fast dew]

Hes blue!

[twin whale]

or do german folktales borrow from many more folktales?

a lot of frames are folktale based

[fast dew]

He also refused to modify his arm

He was a weird orokin for sure

The other orokin thought so

[dusty dragon]

Ehhh, Europe just kinda mixes together everything.

[twin whale]

new loka sympathizer

[dusty dragon]

They hate me, severely.

[fast dew]

We don't know when Albrecht was born, but he is at least 2 centuries old

But we can't rely on that as any indicator that continuity was used, instead we should use the phrasing he has when quitting kuva

Loid also is just old as shit somehow. Even before cryo

The conclusion being folk just live for a long ass time now

[twin whale]

but like Grendel? Germanic but not German proper
Kullervo? Finnish, German influence would be secondary in how the Kantele and Kalevala are written, but it is supposedly compiled from old Finnic folk tales

Wukong and Ne Zha? Straight up Chinese epics and mythology

[twin whale]

I honestly love the fact that the Orokin were bookburners

it makes things way more interesting

[fast dew]

They weren't exactly book burners, they just hated storing media like that. Suppose its more accurate to do it with aya. Once again, Albrecht being weird and collecting books and old poetry

I always wondered how he got the old poetry that Fib recites

[twin whale]

It's funny to me that the name Fibonacci is represented but in CoH we hear scientific terms with made up names from Rell

I forget the phrasing but it's some einstenium stuff about FTL travel

[fast dew]

"The sea rises, the light falls, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us... and the light goes out."

Mm, this is. From memory, a James... Baldwin i think. God knows when it was published. I wanna say around. 1930?? Idk i just know the name

[twin whale]

like it could be attributed to the same person or just a made up name or just a quote with no more reason to dwell

I just don't think it is proof that James Baldwin or whoever is canon

that would be a weird angle to chase

[fast dew]

True, I think its moreso the message of the passage that is important anyway

Its, once again, telling us to love others

[twin whale]

it tells more about the person or people who choose to conserve and quote it

[fast dew]

Albrecht and his tortured love poetry hits once again

Fib says the quote, but explains that it came from Albrecht's collection

[twin whale]

Fib is such a funny character

[fast dew]

He is, his VA does so much random stuff

[strange plinth]

hate that fish /s

[twin whale]

haughty fancy pants assholery

but then he's like

meek and pathetic and goes "I love you"

[fast dew]

Astarion, fish, the fascist twunk

What a broad cast he has done

[twin whale]

Viktor is hella cool

anime antagonist

[fast dew]

He is, hes cool. Too bad hes a nazi yk

[twin whale]

the only cool nazi is a fictional nazi

[fast dew]

Banger design tbh

Liger hits once again
-# I think its liger. It looks like liger.

[strange plinth]

wish he had more of the tattoos from his concept art
was it ever mentioned why those didn't get to the final design?

[fast dew]

Should've kept the tramp stamp tho

[twin whale]

liger ⤵️

[fast dew]

Idk why, but it could be like. Time constraints? Or maybe to avoid over complicating the design

[twin whale]

Neci is amazing too

single handedly (no pun intended) made smoking cool again

but only if it's the green stuff

[fast dew]

I wonder why they had the eye of entrati on Viktor

Also you can like. Never see it, but he also has lip piercings iirc

[twin whale]

I need the full rez image of this

so I can read the text above his tattoos

[fast dew]

:)

[twin whale]

no no

[fast dew]

Hm what text?

[fast dew]

OH
