Hi moth
opaque coyote
So I decided to analyze FNAF 1
I realized why the springlock suits even exist in the first place. (In a meta/doylist sense, not in universe)
The Newspaper mentioned how the killer wore a mascot costume. But the problem is that throughout the first two games, we never see actual mascot costumes.
We only see the animatronic costumes, which is established to well
Be deadly to be stuffed into.
So how do you make the killer wear a "mascot" costume with those ever existing. Because for some fucking reason, Fazbear Entertainment never bought any.
Springlock suits.
Considering how it's consistent that Fazbear Entertainment are hilariously and overly negligent.
They make complete sense. Especially for the 70s and 80s where dumb shit like that was common.
Scott could've gone with a boring mascot costume but decided
"Yes let's make something that would cause a slow agonizing death."
10/10
raven stone
Y'know, all these negligent businesses could well exist in 40k without trouble
well, maybe a bit of a background update
but it fits the everything is crap theme
opaque coyote
Y'know, all these negligent businesses could well exist in 40k without trouble
In the Imperium, there is no more universal healthcare, and you have to pay for ev-
Wait that's just the USA
raven stone
That Poppy Playtime toy factory
can fit right into 40k
right down to the homeless orphans being experimented upon to make toys for noble children
opaque coyote
Seriously though, for me the Springlock suits are one of those concepts that I fucking love
Like it's clearly something with innocent intent
But due to it being the 80s
It's also an OSHA nightmare
Make it so that the animatronics can be more alive!
raven stone
Well, that is another way of looking at it, yes. Period piece.
opaque coyote
And that the magic never goes out
It's kinda similar to how Disney mascots have all of those rules
Including the recommendation that if you are dying, to move yourself away from the public view
As to not remove the magic
...despite the fact that you are fucking dying
Yes that is an actual, real rule for Disneyland Mascots
So Springlock suits aren't actually that far off
raven stone
I mean...well, I could barely see the logic in not wanting to traumatise children with the concept of death?
But beyond that...yea, that is one crazy rule
opaque coyote
Make the magic seamless
And only a minor chance of literally getting stabbed by literally thousands of metal spikes.
raven stone
Nevermind that US Disneyland is more likley to be populated by Disney adults...

And only a minor chance of literally getting stabbed by literally thousands of m...
According to the books, unfortunately that part doesn't actually kill you
You either die after severe blood loss
raven stone
!?!?!
opaque coyote
Or more commonly
Drowning and choking in your own blood due to your lungs filling up with it
raven stone
I would assume that means your lungs flood with blood
opaque coyote
I would *assume* that means your lungs flood with blood
Yup
raven stone
Yea, cause if they just left it at "drowning in your blood" in bends right back into dark humor with "how much blood do you actually have to fill up a god damn Springlock suit"
opaque coyote
It is (rarely) survivable even.
Ignore the fact that the art is mid. That's just the silver eyes comic being uh
Fucking shit
opaque coyote
Yeah
More importantly
Book canon William literally got fucking springlocked
Twice
raven stone
yikes
opaque coyote
Why you would ever jump back into one of these things after surviving one
Is beyond me
But the man really loves murdering children
So it's for the love of the game ig
raven stone
I mean, guy is hardly sane, so...yea.
opaque coyote
I mean, guy is hardly sane, so...yea.
Also William is just fucking stupid
I love it
And I also kinda hate it
Mostly love it though
Purely because the man was like
"Yeah I totally meant to get Springlocked."
raven stone
It's...probably just a result of having to string together a narrative from several vague things
opaque coyote
And in the SE trilogy, he stated that loved being in the suit.
Only for the 3rd book to have it surgically removed because it was pure agony to move inside of it. For obvious reasons.
And in the 6th game, he was like "I totally know that this is a trap. But I'm walking into it anyways!"
Like these are all dumbass mistakes but he's always like
"Yeah I totally meant to do that.'
opaque coyote
It's...probably just a result of having to string together a narrative from seve...
I mean it is consistent that William continually plays off his fuck ups as intentional
So the man literally has so big of a fucking ego
That he cannot even admit that he got fucked over
The man would trip, and then blame the rock
raven stone
...well, almost borderline stupid and cartoonish lol
opaque coyote
Personally, considering the man is a child murderer, abuser, and severe narcissist
It makes sense
Try making any narcissist admit they fucked up
You can't
It's always somebody else's fault
raven stone
ok, true
opaque coyote
And it's why I don't hate it
Hell, he murdered Henry's child presumably out of anger
It's implied that's why he started murdering children in the first place
And only later on, did he discover that the animatronics were getting a little bit quirky at night
And discovered remnants
So it was no longer murdering children just to vent
It was for science
Clearly...
raven stone
"I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN MY MOTIVES I MEANT TO DO IT"
opaque coyote
"I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN MY MOTIVES I MEANT TO DO IT"
Some might not like it cause it kinda moves away from the grounded sort of horror.
And I do agree with that.
But also I like current William
...
Now if he stays dead after FNAF 6
That would be great
He supposedly came back in SB but that was something else so
Eh
And also even then it was literally a mistake that burntrap was a thing
opaque coyote
as in continuity error?
Miscommunication
Scott apparently wanted burntrap there
But not moving and alive
raven stone
Ah ok
opaque coyote
Admittedly
It is a banger design and if I ever play DbD
I hope Burntrap becomes a skin to Springtrap
astral burrow
He supposedly came back in SB but that was something else so
Yeah
opaque coyote
Yeah just talking about SB and how Burntrap ironically enough was a literal mistake from a miscommunication
opaque coyote
And that it's actually the mimic
opaque coyote
I have everything post ucn
Same
astral burrow
Nothing is as stupid and bullshit as "the mimic"
opaque coyote
Although Ruin was actually pretty good.
astral burrow
My name is the fucking mimic song is the only good thing to come out of steel wool slop
Cuz it is at least funny
opaque coyote
MY NAME IS THE FUCKING MIMIC OH YEAH
Overall, SB was a flop.
Ruin was
Surprisingly good despite it being a DLC.
No idea how Jackie's Box actually is though
Since it just released
I heard Into The Pit is good despite it being a fan game made official
opaque coyote
It finally released?
Just now yeah.
opaque coyote
Honestly I can't even care anymore
Fair. It got like zero advertising
That dumbass song probably made people more aware of it's existence than the actual ads
plush mason
idk why but ever since i saw the first FNAF game on steam i have had a pathological adversion to it
plush mason
That dumbass song probably made people more aware of it's existence than the act...

They are doing terribly

Except SB.
It's one stain so far. But it's a gigantic shit stain.
Their VR releases are great. The DLC for SB was actually good.
If they don't fuck things up after SB. It could be okay
Not holding my breath though
astral burrow
We went from a great conclusion to a very grounded mix of sci Fi and fantasy series, to "somehow Fazbear entertainment returned, built a gigantic mega mall, there was also this mimic robot from decades ago and it is now imitating William Afton and shit, pretty much nothing from the past of the series is relevant anymore, enjoy your "sci fi" bullshit made for infants with the gameplay and graphics of a fucking educational game"
"Fazbear Entertainment is no longer a corporate entity" that was a fucking lie
opaque coyote
"Fazbear Entertainment is no longer a corporate entity" that was a fucking lie
Tbf it became an LLC
Which is technically different from a corporate entity
plush mason
which again is a bold face lie
astral burrow
plush mason
LLC is just a corporation by another name

FNAF died with Henry for me

thats how it works

Got no respect left for Scott for still milking the starving cow
Tbf I think he left after UCN
He's mainly in the backseat raking all the cash in
I think the only thing he's really active in beyond an advising role is the movies
astral burrow
The game had a lot more charm when it was made by a guy just trying to make ends meet, having his kids test he game, make the models while in a car, finishing an entire game in a few months, making amazing teasers with so many secrets

But Phil just couldn't stop being a piece of shit

astral burrow
But he just had to be the man, his pride and his ego

"Our Pizza of the Month is Freddy’s personal favorite: The Golden Bite, with exactly 83 slices of cheese smothered in a molten layer of fine, exotic butters!”.
astral burrow
But he just had to be the man, his pride and his ego
If he shut his mouth, made the game, and didn't shit on Scotts stuff publicly and didn't do terrible damage control with his fans, we would have an amazing FNAF game rn, and not whatever secret of the fucking mimic is

You know you gone too far when you say "afton isn't the killer"
Honestly I'm still into FNAF purely because it's a hyperfixation
arctic talon
Unless people stop watching that stuff

Their theories about "random cute indie arg that becomes horror #284828" are actually pretty fun

They’ll keep making money on it

Honestly
I hate myself for this but I do generally love the idea of

opaque coyote
It's why it's ironically oversaturated

It's a cool idea

Doki Doki and it's consequences

Sayori death scene still hits me to this day, I just remember it randomly
astral burrow
Remember the matpat theories about ddlc leading to an entire different game, with so much hidden lore inside
And it made a ton of sense
opaque coyote
I think a thing that still stuck with me
astral burrow
And it just, went nowhere
Where tf is the next game salvato
What was it called
Project libita?
opaque coyote
Is how a Vtuber actually got to that scene was it unfortunately reminded them of a friend who... died the same way
So she was just genuinely traumatized and had to end stream
She was legit crying
astral burrow
Project libitina
That's it
God that's a name I haven't heard in ages

Former considering there's still more hints in the + version
Could be the latter though
astral burrow

It hit me hard for years
opaque coyote
I’ve never played that game
DDLC+ is just DDLC but with some extra content
And also side stories that dives into the VN part more
Basically just past interactions with the club
astral burrow
I had a streamer friend, a rather popular one, and we were watching him play a mod with the aftermath of the sayori incident, everyone was sobbing, everyone on the discord were like they are at a bar lmao the floodgates were open
opaque coyote
Which makes you feel sad since
Monika was genuinely somebody Sayori trusted
Like 100%
astral burrow
Former considering there's still more hints in the + version
Salvato has been edging us for a nearly decade
opaque coyote
She was basically one of her best friends
astral burrow
Great job
astral burrow
Monika was genuinely somebody Sayori trusted
God the things I would do to Monika would get me banned from here
Every single bone in my body hates that woman
opaque coyote
Which makes what happens all the more heartbreaking. And it also implies that Monika more or less pushed Sayori to her breaking point directly
Along with the manipulation of the files
astral burrow
This isn't libitina
astral burrow
Along with the manipulation of the files
The amount of mods about that are crazy, the one that's from sayoris point of view (hate that one it is too good), the one where you get to save her and deal with the aftermath, the one where she dies and you still deal with the aftermath, the one where YOU die, the one where the club is a lift club
opaque coyote
Every single bone in my body hates that woman
It's also implied that becoming Club President just fucks you up to the point of just... becoming your worst self.
Sayori either kills everybody including herself.
Or tries to do the exact same with what Monika does.
It still doesn't really excuse either of them
arctic talon
This isn't libitina
They’re doing something else then ig lol
astral burrow
opaque coyote
But DDLC at it's core is an Eldritch horror
astral burrow
Come on, salvato
Scott made 3 games in like a year
And you only made 1 in 6 years
opaque coyote
Like unironically, you can replace everything with classic lovecraftian tropes
opaque coyote
And it would still make sense
astral burrow
Give us the extreme horror mental hospital shit project libitina
opaque coyote
SCOTT MADE THAT IN A CAVE WITH A BUNCH OF SCRAPS
Ignore the minor plot holes that still existed even if you stopped at UCN
astral burrow
The first 3 games
He made them all like 3 months apart?
First 4 games actually
He made them all so fast
arctic talon
Come on, salvato
They can do what they want
opaque coyote
He made them all like 3 months apart?
It's partially due to FNAF games generally being smaller scale ironically enough.
And also partially due to Scott being fucking insane
astral burrow
You remember that circular white haired white eyed woman image?
opaque coyote
He's just built different honestly
astral burrow
And the qr code that takes you project libitina.com?
arctic talon
It's partially due to FNAF games generally being smaller scale ironically enough...
They’re pretty simple under the hood lol
arctic talon
But it’s neat they can put them together so fast
astral burrow
Cuz that website is crazy
opaque coyote
They’re pretty simple under the hood lol
Pretty much. The games are technically all 2d
With images of 3d models and shit
You can tell by the weird curved perspective
arctic talon
The “logic” for the AI also is funny
It’s basically just a bunch of dice
For most stuff
astral burrow
You can't just put a redacted medical form about freaky shit, and not elaborate on it for 6 years

arctic talon
But as long as it works
astral burrow
It got forgotten about SO FAST
opaque coyote
The way Doki Doki was so popular then just... fizzled out
Tbf it's a visual novel. There's no real gameplay complexity.
Unless if you count
Clicking
astral burrow
There were songs, fangames, fan movies, mods
arctic talon
It’s a visual novel who’s main gimmick is shock horror
astral burrow
It was huge
opaque coyote
The modding scene for DDLC is still popular
opaque coyote
Surprisingly enough
arctic talon
Nothing lives forever
astral burrow
The modding scene for DDLC is still popular
The potential for mods in that game is insane
And visual novels are very easy to modn
Speaking of visual novels, read "A light in the dark"
opaque coyote
*thats fine*
I agree. Visual Novels are shorter lasting for a reason.
They might as well be books
Just with the occasional branching paths
astral burrow
I agree. Visual Novels are shorter lasting for a reason.
They might as well be ...
Books with music and pictures

So Choose your own Adventure Books

DDLC also pokes fun at its own genre. It's still made with 100% love
astral burrow
A light in the dark tho has you make choices between who to talk, when to rest, when to fight back, when to investigate the environment, what to investigate, finding new dialogue options that way and unlocking new paths it is very engaging
arctic talon
DDLC also pokes fun at its own genre. It's still made with 100% love
A lot of visual novels do this tbf lol
astral burrow
It is Stockholm syndrome the game
opaque coyote
But that's also canonically part of the reason why Monika turned insane
Imagine your entire world being like
4 pngs
opaque coyote
A lot of visual novels do this tbf lol
Visual Novels can either be
The best fucking story you've ever seen
Or just
"I want to suck your dick"
"Me too!"
"Me three"
Usually the latter
But the former changes you
And in my opinion, it's also why media that changes you just doesn't after you replay it
Because it already did
You're already changed
astral burrow
Everyday, I imagine a future where I can be with you
The song had no right to be so catchy
Almost made me feel bad for her
opaque coyote
Tbf Monika was practicing
opaque coyote
Almost made me feel bad for her
Honestly I feel bad purely because being club president is implied to drive anybody to literal murder.
It's like similar to how forbidden knowledge turns people insane.
astral burrow
I will come back and report if this makes any sense
opaque coyote
And horrifically enough, Sayori 's death was a complete accident
Monika just wanted her out of the way. She actually accidentally caused her to kill herself.
astral burrow
Nah Monika 100% knew
She saw those poems, she literally told you you left her hanging this morning
She so made Yuri stab herself and rot in the classroom for a week
They were no accidents
opaque coyote
Nah Monika 100% knew
She definitely knew for Yuri and Natsuki. But the error logs appear the day Sayori hanged herself.
And Monika was basicallyike
"Oh shit."
And then realized
"wait this is actually easier"
astral burrow
The bait is generational
Honestly I am too tired to watch this rn someone else watch it
And that white eyed woman freaks me out
opaque coyote
Not really she 100% knew beforehand
"Oh jeez...I didn't break anything, did I? Hold on a sec, I can probably fix this...I think..."
"Actually, you know what? This would probably be a lot easier if I just deleted her. She's the one who's making this so difficult. Ahaha! Well, here's goes nothing."
opaque coyote
I think the note implies that this is before you wake up for the day.
Since it's a traceback
So Monika had this reaction when she found out, but by the time the Protagonist activates. She already knows.
Her reaction muted by a combination of "They're not real" and sunk cost fallacy.
Since if she wanted to. She could've just deleted them from the beginning
opaque coyote
Is it when you wake up and see sayori but she is all broken?
Basically
- Monika sees Sayori "die" and traceback happens
- Protagonist wakes up, Monika makes the hanging around jokes
- Protagonist sees Sayori. Game crashes. Monika deletes Sayori
If anything Monika is an interesting character
I don't hate her morally.
But I do think she did horrific acts that aren't forgivable.
It's a fucked up situation
astral burrow
Nope I don't remember that
opaque coyote
It is a real file though. Although it only appears specifically after the game crashes from Sayori's suicide
The game has a lot of hidden files that appear in specific times
Or just randomly
It's why it was so fascinating
astral burrow
Chr files exist all the time no?
opaque coyote
Yeah
Y'know except when they are deleted
Then they disappear
Yeah once Sayori is deleted, Sayori.chr is gone.
opaque coyote
What happens if you delete them mid game I wonder
If you delete Monika's file specifically
Sayori gets presidency
She gets the epiphany (as Monika calls it)
Shouts "IS THIS ALL THERE IS?"
Crashes the game
astral burrow
I know but that's intended
Unless you mean doing that anytime during the game?
And not just the end?
opaque coyote
I think deleting any .chr file just causes the Sayori thing
I guess because the man can't account for everything
astral burrow
Nah I don't want to be sad again I am never playing them
opaque coyote
Lore-wise, they take place in a separate VN where Monika never became self aware.
So they're just... the club being with each other
And it fucking hurts man
It hurts so much to see them actually happy

The modding scene is still alive surprisingly enough
Somehow keeping the community alive
I love COPIUM

And I don't like 30% of it
Oh wow DDLC is actually a simulation
Ooo ahh
polar hill
Wasn't it already a simulation
opaque coyote
Kinda? It doesn't contradict anything
So it's fine
I just kinda preferred it as like
"It's a random visual novel that became fucked up"
Like it was meant to be a regular visual novel
But Monika's self awareness kinda fucked it up
Like a real life creepypasta kinda deal

It was FNAF chat
I mentioned game theory
opaque coyote
Similar to how most of them started with "finding a random ass copy of Mario but it's spooky ahh".

I always felt that DDLC was kinda similar in terms of vibes

Evil Mario
I have one guilty pleasure
Sonic.exe
Not the original story though
But like some of the newer shit the fan base made
FNF somehow revived it and it also caused an influx of fangames and stories that genuinely are interesting
Including an entire remake of the original fan game
With new sprite work and everything
It's pretty cool all things considered

TBF I had to spoiler myself to learn that stuff, so…
You know what they say about books and covers!

Also the side stories are great.
Recently started DDLC plus, and the side stories are interesting thus far
Just done the first one

Y'all remember Hello Neighbor?
Still do, I remember all the essays about it being shit as hell
polar hill
Frankly incredible how its marketing swiftly devolved into just pinging MatPat on Twitter after he made a quadrillion videos about it
astral burrow
You know what they say about books and covers!
Covers tell you what a book is about so you can choose if you wanna buy it or not
opaque coyote
Y'all remember Hello Neighbor?
At least the DAGames song was good
Ngl I kinda liked the idea
Since as a kid benign shit like your slightly reclusive neighbor was terrifying
And making a game based on that is interesting
It just became garbage though
It would've been interesting if it was just a small rogue-like game where you had to get to the basement.
And depending on how long it took or whatever other factors to get there
It differs on what the basement is
But if you managed to become expert enough to get there almost immediately
You just find out that it's just a basement
That's all
Or maybe something just sad instead of spooky
Like idk it all ends up being a shrine to a dead family member.
The Neighbor was reclusive due to grief.
The end is you just you knocking on his door again
Apologizing and then they both go inside to have a nice tea and chat.
The game could've been better than what it was that's for sure
The issue is that it didn't keep it simple
Hell, the FNAF games, for all their faults, were simple in the end.
Survive 5 nights, don't fucking die.
If you really want to, you could completely ignore the lore
They forgot they were making a game

Favorite Zombie media?
Might as well
young pecan
Favorite Zombie media?
Left4Dead2
One of the zombie settings where it actually makes sense to get caught by the zombies so it's easier to be immersed
Also the worldbuilding hints in the level designs are fun
young pecan
One of the zombie settings where it actually makes sense to get caught by the zo...
Don't even need to get bitten btw, since it's an airborne virus and constantly mutates
opaque coyote
One of the zombie settings where it actually makes sense to get caught by the zo...
I think either
28 days later
Or Dying Light
28 Days Later has it infect quickly but also die out within a month because
They don't eat
Or drink
They also vomit blood out
And a single drop can literally get you infected
So the entirety of Britain (good riddance) got infected
young pecan
I loved Dying Light
opaque coyote
And then most of the population died
young pecan
Honestly the second installment killed it for me
opaque coyote
I loved Dying Light
Honestly if we ever get dying light zombies
I ain't even trying to fight wm
I'm punching my ticket in
Zombies that can fucking parkour are terrifying
Also the Volatiles are terrifying.
young pecan
Twenty foot leaps across rooftops
Yeah right am I doing that
If it was just the runners and walkers I'd be cool with that even if that is still deadly
opaque coyote
I also like how the first game initally has it contained
young pecan
And at least they have the "no get infected yet" shots but still
opaque coyote
And at least they have the "no get infected yet" shots but still
That is actually an interesting premise
I think the only other one is Dead Rising with Zombrex.
Dead Rising is more interesting in that Zombie Infections are treated similar to like
How we treat school shootings
It just fucking happens so much to the point where people are like
"Another town got infected? Okay"
sip
winter vessel
all Dead rising taught me was my immense fear of wasps
young pecan
Thoughts and prayers
Many such cases xd
Man
It really sucks how with Dying Light 2 they made it so the first game may as well have never fucking happened
Like in every single way, the first game didn't matter at all
There was no reason for it to exist
winter vessel
the only psycho i felt bad for in the first game
storm jungle
considering he was shellshocked from hearing his daughter get torn apart by zombies id agree lol
sly ivy
Great isn’t it?
winter vessel
think ill get the game once my next check drops.
opaque coyote
the only psycho i felt bad for in the first game
I think I felt bad for him and the gun owner
Like the Gun Owner was selfish but he was obviously fucking terrified
And ofc people are gonna try raiding the gun store
winter vessel
fair
opaque coyote
He even warned one of the guys
Like several times
He still went forward and ofc got shot
Like Frank West had to fight him for the survivors
But if it wasn't for that, then honestly just leave him alone
opaque coyote
fair
I think there was another one in Dead Rising 2
Who was similar to the Vietnam PTSD guy
winter vessel
the soldier for AZU?
opaque coyote
Basically he was sent out and his entire squad got killed
opaque coyote
the soldier for AZU?
Yeah
He was there to actually save civilians
And of course, due to him being cursed to be military actually trying to do some good
His squad got wiped out
And he snapped
He clearly seemed to care a lot about them too
opaque coyote
the soldier for AZU?
Although I think the most interesting psychopath was in a non-canon spinoff
Dead Rising 2: OTR
winter vessel
the one where chuck went insane?
opaque coyote
Yeah
It's genuinely fucking sad and also kinda terrifying to see the canon protagonist just completely fucking insane
"An outbreak like this does things to men. The violence. The death. Seeing loved ones die... Change... makes people SNAP just like that. People just like you and me."
"Just when humanity should be coming together, they turn on each other instead."
Both a stunning example of the themes of the Dead Rising franchise, zombie media in general, and of course communicates the tragedy of Greene in this non-canon game.
winter vessel
i consider 2 to still be my favorite out of all the titles
opaque coyote
Also the fact that he's drinking
And talking as if his daughter was still alive
Fucking heartbreaking man
I wanted to bash zombies with fun combo weapons I didn't want to feel sad
opaque coyote
i consider 2 to still be my favorite out of all the titles
Honestly ignoring how OTR is just kinda lame otherwise
I kinda like non canon spinoffs like it
In terms of possibilities
winter vessel
it is an interesting avenue to explore, yes
opaque coyote
it is an interesting avenue to explore, yes
Also on an unrelated note
The Star Wars prequel novelizations are unironically better than
The actual movies
Because it gives context to a lot of scenes
And it's based off of the actual script
The added prose, narration, and such. Shows the difference between books and movies as media
Books can detail how a character is feeling.
Movies have to show it, and show it quickly
winter vessel
dooku's little excerpt before he gets beheaded is one of my favorite parts
opaque coyote
So ironically enough, Star Wars the Revenge of the Sith is better if you think of it as like.
A really disappointing movie adaptation to a great sci fi novel
opaque coyote
dooku's little excerpt before he gets beheaded is one of my favorite parts
It's a little bit meta in a way
Because it's essentially a character being killed off for the protag's growth
And their realization that
Everything in their life
Their dreams, their hardships, their aspirations
It all leads to them getting killed to further someone else's story
That hesitant look means a lot more as the result
And that's the advantage of books over movies
sacred bluff
plush mason
ok, i am now very confused, if the spacing guild are the ones that brought the Fremen's ancestors to Arrakis, how where there Freman on the planet before the spacer guild existed?
winter vessel
all i know from old lore is that they were descendants of the Zensunni Wanderers who came from different planets during their migration where it ended on Arrakis. much of their history has been lost
plush mason
yeah
maybe the Zensunni Fremen and the Fremen that gave spice to the homunculus thing are 2 different people
winter vessel
possibly
plush mason
also the fact Dune has what are basically homunculi is funny to me
just a race of evil as all hell bio engineers

anything but trooper to start with

Really? Trooper is not good?
plush mason
no its because the basic trainer for trooper is the first one you will find
its a great class and worth unlocking
winter vessel
Oh I see
opaque coyote
Y'know I had the idea of Slaanesh 's form actually looking angelic
Like looking more like the typical "angel"
Similar to most of the saints
Beauty above the excess and cruelty
Either that or as depictions from Slaaneshi Cultists since a lot of them are focused on art
Idk how I would make the color pallet more friendly though
Maybe leaning into pink more than purple?
tough haven
Idk how I would make the color pallet more friendly though
Make it a light blue purple
opaque coyote
Make it a light blue purple
Oooo
winter vessel
here's some color palettes that i use as reference to visualize anything Slaanesh related, just ignore the blue on the right
opaque coyote
I always thought that
Tzeentch and Nurgle were born at the same time
Khorne when the war in Heaven started
Then finally Slaanesh from the Eldar decadence
winter vessel
Then finally Slaanesh from the Eldar decadence
still my all time favorite 40k meme
opaque coyote
still my all time favorite 40k meme
100% some Eldar was like
"Is there something actually happening or am I just coming down again?"
Right before they got their soul sucked
I also still find it funny that even the craft worlders just like
Casually consume more drugs than a human can take
Like in the rare instance where an Eldar and human were actually friends. I can imagine the Eldar doing a drinking contest for shits and giggles.
winter vessel
I like to visualize as if it were an episode of Love Island USA and then a bright purple light happens in the sky as they're jamming it out on the beach
opaque coyote
And then as soon as their pal takes a regular sip
They immediately just collapse to the floor absolutely plastered
While the Eldar just laughs
"bro this is light stuff."
"Mmmm I smell blue."
VOMIT
opaque coyote
I like to visualize as if it were an episode of Love Island USA and then a brigh...
Although apparently the leader of the Drukhari survived it
Due to not being "introduced to the pleasure of his people"
And being a slave at the time
Assuming that this is true
And I mean greatly assuming
How the fuck does that work
plush mason
yeah but iirc Vect himself says he could easily be lying
opaque coyote
True
Although if he isn't just bullshitting us
I wonder if that means that any Eldar that wasn't in the whole murderfucking thing was spared from having their soul IMMEDIATELY sucked
plush mason
he has deals with the haemonculi and can and has been killed and reborn
opaque coyote
yeah but iirc Vect himself says he could easily be lying
Tbh considering how many clones and times he must've died and revived.
Maybe he actually doesn't know
winter vessel
honestly the only sect that has as close to a well adjusted life are the Exodites. Living free and riding on a dinosaur, that's the life
opaque coyote
But assuming the story that Vect tells at least happened. That means that in the event, any Eldar who didn't participate in sheer debauchery lived.
Or at least didn't immediately go towards Slaanesh
I assume some died trying to preserve their souls and failing
Craftworlders were already prepared but
Do exodites have soul stones?
plush mason
well the ones in the webway lived in such sheer debauchery even the wider Eldar empire shuned them, only the walls of the webway saved them from Slaanesh's thirst, but only just
opaque coyote
well the ones in the webway lived in such sheer debauchery even the wider Eldar ...
I kinda assumed that's the case for Vect.
He survived purely because he didn't participate in it yet and managed to escape into the webway
Y'know assuming he's actually telling the truth
plush mason
Craftworlders were already prepared but
Do exodites have soul stones?
the exodites have worldtrees that act like the infinity circet of the craftworld
opaque coyote
the exodites have worldtrees that act like the infinity circet of the craftworld
Ah
Exodites would be cool as an army but the problem is that
Well their whole thing is that they forgo technology
All the others don't
winter vessel
they have a more primitive lifestyle
opaque coyote
Honestly I know some people call Craftworlders Amish
But tbh I think they're more like
Preppers that actually survived the apocalypse
I would call Exodites more like Amish
plush mason
thats basically what both craftworld and exodites are
opaque coyote
Since Exodites were voluntary while the Craftworlders were more like
"Oh shit if we don't switch now we're going to fucking die"
winter vessel
I would call Exodites more like Amish
I had a buddy who came from an Amish Family and he says the Exodites resonate with him even as he likes the Eldar
plush mason
the exodites saw the danger of excess first and the craftworlders followed them later
opaque coyote
Considering most of the Eldar Empire tech was
Probably lost
Well the Deldar definitely have some but can't use half of it
I assumed the Craftworld Eldar tech is more like equivalent to going back to the 1950s
Or just focusing on reliability first
Everything else second
"What can last the longest and be easily reproduced."
While the Deldar is just
Detroit
opaque coyote
the exodites saw the danger of excess first and the craftworlders followed them ...
Although the #1 thing I am confused about is that nearby Commoragh there's apparently a realm that basically acts like a merc town for several Xenos species.
And I just wonder
plush mason
i was gonna say new orleans
its all of them
plush mason
brought there by the deldar
opaque coyote
Like there's just a bunch of mercs there and the Deldar aren't torturing them
And I assume there's a decent enough relationship to actually hire them
plush mason
because non deldar mercs are vastly more trustworthy than deldar and far less expensive than the incubi
winter vessel
the method of hiring Mandrakes are something else, specifcally their payment
opaque coyote
And not worry about being their toy
plush mason
because they are far better bodyguards than some kablaite and everyone needs bodyguards in the dark city
a non deldar has little reason to betray their employer after all
opaque coyote
a non deldar has little reason to betray their employer after all
Yeah I assume it's held together by the sheer fact that they're useful
plush mason
yup
opaque coyote
And that breaking that relationship would be bad for both
