[storm jungle]

also i was looking at the timestamp and YEEEEAH BABY one of the images shows SnipeWip

good to see hes gonna mention that fandom wankery shit

[plush mason]

i spent part of a SM2 mission explaining to my friend that the lamenters are a blood angel successor and not imperial fists lmao

[storm jungle]

god

this fandom is irrecoverable

[arctic talon]

“But, they’re yellow”

[near wasp]

I one time joined a seige on sm2 with a lamentor

I knew I wasn't making it out

[plush mason]

tbf he isnt much of a warhammer fan, SM2 and DT are the only warhammer content he plays

[plush mason]

yup thats what he was saying

[storm jungle]

The problem is theres fans that are exactly like this

so him not being a fan doesnt mean much

[plush mason]

fair

[arctic talon]

Relevant lol

Prolly my favorite lamenter art

[near wasp]

Just not his century

[plush mason]

has any lamenter had a good time?

[heady rivet]

Just not his life

[near wasp]

No

https://tenor.com/view/johnny-laugh-four-gif-7446278225827837893

[arctic talon]

No because they make dumb decisions as a chapter

[near wasp]

Like fighting with huron

[plush mason]

which they then blame on a curse or something right?

[arctic talon]

No

[vagrant fox]

We're gonna liberate slaves on an ork planet!
Oh wait, we didn't bother to bring enough transport for them so lets just kill them all

[storm jungle]

^

[arctic talon]

Let’s stay on the planet and die with them and kill them all

[plush mason]

....

[storm jungle]

Also then deny the award Calgar is gonna give us thus pissing off the gathered Ultramarine Successors and shaming us even more

(instead of just fucking accepting it and getting it over with)

[vagrant fox]

It's a whole series of ???

[fervent geode]

The Lamenters are disgusting traitors to the Imperium and their own geneline who rebelled at Badab and betrayed at Baal.

[storm jungle]

Good.

you say that like its a bad thing

[vagrant fox]

Didn't even show up to Baal because they're cowards smh

[heady rivet]

Well the Badab rebels were the good guys

[fervent geode]

Oh no id like them if they joined the corsairs

[arctic talon]

LOL

Holy based

[plush mason]

yeah no the memes are wrong, the lamenters arent cursed with bad luck, they are cursed with omega level stupidity

[arctic talon]

I wish one of the new red Corsair characters was a lamenter

[fervent geode]

But they are too much of spineless cowards to do so

[arctic talon]

They have one instance of omega bad luck

Which is getting stuck in a warpstorm while in the warp

And being trapped for 20 years

[fervent geode]

Yeah, but they wouldnt go all the way smh

[vagrant fox]

I swear I've seen a Red Corsairs Lamenter but in hindsight it might've been some fanwork

[arctic talon]

Nah they exist

[fervent geode]

There are a few mentioned in lore iirc

[heady rivet]

Call those Lamenters 007
0 interesting plots
0 interesting characters
7 hours to paint one pauldron

[arctic talon]

The lamenters at the palace of thorns

Escaped with Huron

So they became corsairs

[languid meadow]

Free handing checker patterns so satan knows not to fuck with me

[fervent geode]

And there are some cool lamenter corsair kitbashes floating around

[fervent geode]

You have ascended into a minor warp deity of insanity

[storm jungle]

when i was a fan of Adeptus Ridiculous i remember watching their Lamenters video which Bricky only did because it was super demanded

and by the end of the 40m video hes like

[plush mason]

yeah no anyone that can freehand a checkerboard pattern that small is a fucking painting demigod

[storm jungle]

"Well yeah thats kinda it really? They dont really have much aside from fandom memes/adoration"

which really sums it up imo

[languid meadow]

checker and hazard stripes

evil painters

[fervent geode]

Its coz of that one TTS video

That got them a pity farm that lasted a decade

[storm jungle]

Naw Lammies were well adored even before that, but TTS deffo boosted it even more even if it was a short video

[fervent geode]

Oh yeah, but afaik the pity farm got the lamenter train hanging till todays

[rocky gale]

Everytime I open Reddit i'm reminded how disconnected most of those people actually are from the hobby

[languid meadow]

Lamenters vs the damage TTS did to ultramarines

I love TTS but god uh

[heady rivet]

My friend once did a really impressive freehand of the star of David and I thought it was a template he used at first

[languid meadow]

UM still have barely recovered from it lmao

[vagrant fox]

Naur I thought it was an official named one, that Angels Encarmine guy

[fervent geode]

Cato Sicarius never survived

[languid meadow]

which sucks because i really like knights of ultramar

[fervent geode]

He's cool now too

[rocky gale]

Like just saw people complaining about Cataphractii terminators not being in plastic and the comments are full of "Surely it's only a matter of time before GW make them plastic"

They did, they released 3 weeks ago

[opaque coyote]

Tbf they simply joined in the shitting.

And later on they explicitly got tired of it and basically told their origin straight.

[fervent geode]

I rmb people complaining that they were too tall and also about resin somehow

[heady rivet]

Dont fuck with us Warhammer redditors, we dont play the game or read the books

[fervent geode]

Like complaining about resin on a plastic mini

[languid meadow]

I do like how they're treating WoD tho

[plush mason]

half of TTS was them poking fun at the very memes they help spread

[languid meadow]

they have some real passion for that universe

[fervent geode]

WoD is great too

HtP is better than TTS tbh

[languid meadow]

experience plus laying out a story before hand helps a lot

[vagrant fox]

I was already jaded by 40k memery when I saw TTS come out so I hated that stuff from the get go but their WoD stuff is superb

[languid meadow]

TTS didn't have a planned out story iirc

[storm jungle]

Alfa and Co were very much kinda tired with TTS tbh

[opaque coyote]

I said looks.

I didn't say Lorgar is cool

[plush mason]

i cant wait for the acceptable losses episode about werewolf the apocalypse

[fervent geode]

Well he is

[storm jungle]

also yeah TTS crew was winging it

[languid meadow]

one of the reasons they stopped doing it was because they wrote themselves into a corner

[storm jungle]

Hunte rhas like an ENTIRE pre-established plot

like its still crazy to me EP1 namedrops the Arcanum

along with the family being kicked out of it

[fervent geode]

No one would hound Alfa and gang from making HtP either

[storm jungle]

i never realised that at first lol

[languid meadow]

WoD fans are just happy for anything really ( thank god )

[opaque coyote]

I still hope it returns one day but I don't mind it not returning

If that makes any sense

[storm jungle]

tbh

dumbasses already use Alfa's departure as ammo for GW at times

even though he literally asked them to not crusade

lmao

[fervent geode]

Happens all the time

[plush mason]

WoD needs more love yeah

[vagrant fox]

Didn't they get some support from Paradox for HtP?

[fervent geode]

He had 40k fans as fans

[plush mason]

its an amazing universe

[storm jungle]

They do yeah

[languid meadow]

everything BUT VTM needs love

[opaque coyote]

"I am not the Messiah"

"HE IS THE MESSIAH"

[storm jungle]

My favorite part is how people brigaded for a week then just moved on

lmao

[vagrant fox]

100% the nicest thing Paradox ever did for the IP

[fervent geode]

This is true kinda

[storm jungle]

Waiter, waiter, more garou content please

https://tenor.com/view/nosferatu-ellen-hutter-wolf-meme-jjongvillee-gif-8708095632783399513

[languid meadow]

WTA has like

1 game that isn't text based

and it's mid

[rocky gale]

Alfa "We aren't stopping because GW is threatening us"

Fans "Wow GW literally killed the show and sent a hit squad after their entire family"

[plush mason]

i want to see some mage stuff but i hear that WOD mages are hella confusing, 400 page rule book

[fervent geode]

What happened to the Demons man

[storm jungle]

theres a reason SpeakerD's guide to WoD is literally just "go read the codexes and also play Bloodlines"

[storm jungle]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[fervent geode]

A crusade thats still ongoing in reddit lmao

[storm jungle]

also like they make 28k on patreon and you can tell all that money goes into the right place

its insane how much the animation has improved

its basically an animated show now lmao

[dapper gyro]

Don't they stop it because one of the VC got cancer and gone?

[storm jungle]

No lol

[dapper gyro]

I might be confused with something else.

[storm jungle]

they stopped because Alfa has a family and he doesnt wanna get copyright struck

[dapper gyro]

Been a while.

[languid meadow]

bored plus writing issues, the only person to leave the OP is stringstorm for uh

[storm jungle]

youtube/patreon is him and his team's livelihood

[languid meadow]

obvious reasons

[storm jungle]

Yeah string was a pedo

also he didnt really leave either

Alfa outright said hes kicked out

LMAO

[languid meadow]

well you know you what I mean

departed

killed

buried

[storm jungle]

Good movie

but yeah

[fervent geode]

Gone

[lament shoal]

I wanna get the htr rule book

[plush mason]

btw, just how strong are the werewolves in WoD? the kindred stuff made it sound like the vampires are scared shitless of pissing them off

[storm jungle]

Extremely strong

like a single pack of Garou could solo a marine squad

they are basically meat-tanks with magic

[fervent geode]

Megarachnid type shit in terms of powerscaling

[storm jungle]

^

[lament shoal]

Too bad they're fucking stupid

[near wasp]

A pack of garou easily wins against an Abrams

[storm jungle]

YEP

they arent invincible but they are tough

[dapper gyro]

Aren't a pack and a squad about the same size???

[fervent geode]

In VtMB you really get a good idea

[storm jungle]

^

The moment you try to fight the werewolf you die in 2 swipes

LMAO

[fervent geode]

I hate that guy

[vagrant fox]

Fortunately he's stupid as well

[storm jungle]

No lol

[plush mason]

thats explains why their holy book directly forbids them from turning one

[fervent geode]

Having to walk him into the fucking door

[near wasp]

Bro I killed the werewolf in bloodlines like first try

Maybe second

[storm jungle]

yeah because its a game + plot armor

[fervent geode]

How

[near wasp]

Using observatory doors

[storm jungle]

You can bait it into the observatory telescope doors and crush it

[dapper gyro]

Elaborate? A pack can be somewhere from 4 to 20, a squad is about 4-10 in military term...

[storm jungle]

[fervent geode]

I know about that

[storm jungle]

Nothing to elaborate, basically Garou are at tough

[fervent geode]

But how tf would someone know without wiki

[storm jungle]

thats the neat part

[fervent geode]

That shit was

[storm jungle]

you wouldnt

[fervent geode]

Badbadbad

[vagrant fox]

I did as well by running around like a headless chicken trying anything

[young pecan]

It scratches my brain the wrong way that he spells it "Arbitor"

[plush mason]

isnt that how it is spelled?

[fervent geode]

Arbiter

[near wasp]

I knew there was a way to do it and I knew it had to have power so I ran around and found the doors and killed itt

Bro at least it's not the fucking Hollywood sewers

[fervent geode]

Thats crazy luck lmao

Man yeah the sewers sucked too

[vagrant fox]

First time I got to the sewers it was such a hard crash from this is one of the best games I ever played to idk mannn

[fervent geode]

Maybe its time to reinstall

[arctic talon]

Lore accurate kindred meeting garou

Tbh

[plush mason]

one day we will get a WtA rpg similar to the VtMB

[near wasp]

Legit just use unofficial patch and skip sewers

I did it first sewers first playthrough and it was mega dumb

[storm jungle]

nope

[arctic talon]

Having 0 info? Yes smh

[storm jungle]

tbh

they literally had no time left

Activision had their balls in a vice

[vagrant fox]

I'm tempted to play Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption again, the embrace cutscene is so genuinely funny

[storm jungle]

remember Troika shut down months after the game released

[arctic talon]

Is the second one uh

Good

I’d assume it’s awful

[vagrant fox]

I know that now but I didn't know that in like 2007 or 8 when I grabbed it on a whim

Nah it's not so good

I watched someone who's an absolute WoDhead play it recently and they crashed out and refunded the game

[arctic talon]

lol

[near wasp]

Bloodlines 2 is not great

[arctic talon]

Feels bad

[plush mason]

i hear the gameplay is fine, the writing is utter trash though

[storm jungle]

Bloodlines 2 is just terrible

its not a VTM game

💀

[plush mason]

that is also what i hear

[storm jungle]

theres tons of good reviews on it that covers it

[vagrant fox]

It's got some details I appreciate, the outdoors look good. It's barely a WoD game though

[storm jungle]

^

[near wasp]

Its not an RPG is an action game

And they say your an eldar but you take damage like a fucking fledgling

[vagrant fox]

It's the most pathethic elder I ever saw

[near wasp]

In no world should a single thin blood with a knife two tap my undead ass

Some of the writing is ok though

[plush mason]

||didnt your character kill Napoleon or some shit?||

[near wasp]

Like the tremere scientist girl can have my heart

[vagrant fox]

at least

https://youtu.be/nirtc9hQZk0?si=_hu-YLlrDb8T9i2Q

rik schaffers music got in, some of it at least

pure nostalgium

Yeah I liked some of the writing but I'd rather just buy Schaffers music if I'm gonna spend money on anything related to it

[storm jungle]

Yeah before they fired him

lmaoooo

😭

[vagrant fox]

WoD curse, no good and finished games ever

pick 1 of the two

[near wasp]

would you count the original hunter the reckoning?

[languid meadow]

I stll plan on getting bloodlines 2

[young pecan]

It scratches my brain the wrong way that he spells it "Arbitor"

[languid meadow]

just because I need my WoD slop

[vagrant fox]

People played Hunter: The Reckoning?

[plush mason]

i doubt many played Mage: The Awakening

again

400 page rule book

[near wasp]

I did but I also got it at GameStop for like 4 dollars

[plush mason]

ok naming the videogames the same as the TT ones is hella confusing

[vagrant fox]

I remember seeing it way yonder back when but I was a PClet even then

[near wasp]

I agree that's why I sent the cover

XD so y'all would know I was talking about the game

[vagrant fox]

They also planned the video games Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Mage: The Ascension just to make it more confusing

[plush mason]

Werewolf The Apocalypse the video game exists

[languid meadow]

It tries to be a slasher

[plush mason]

its not good

[languid meadow]

but it's also not

[vagrant fox]

the curse continues

[languid meadow]

idk what it wants

big idea...

give owlcat

WoD

and we could get a hunter game

[vagrant fox]

There's some werewolf game on Steam, my friend tried it and refunded it

[languid meadow]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/679110/Werewolf_The_Apocalypse__Earthblood/

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood

You are Cahal, a powerful Garou (Werewolf) who chose to go into exile after losing control of his destructive rage.

this is the only non text based WTA game I know of

[plush mason]

thats it

yup

earthblood is an action game similar to bloodlines 2

[vagrant fox]

Whenever I think about WoD games I think about that one interview about the cancelled CCP MMO

"I once saw him looking over the shoulder of a programmer at some bit of User Interface the poor guy had hacked together. He straightened up, put fingers to lips and said, ‘No, this isn't it at all. Make it more... psssshhhh’ He hissed on his fucking fingertips, like the air coming out of a bicycle tire, and then just walked away.”

it fills me with mild sadness

[languid meadow]

the only thing they're similar in, at least bloodlines 2 has a decent story

[plush mason]

yup

one day we will get a non text based rpg for WtA

thats my copium

[vagrant fox]

one day Paradox will be destroyed is my copium

[rocky gale]

Na, they have too many infinite money printers

[plush mason]

^

[vagrant fox]

EU5 is in a lamentable state I crave vengeance

[plush mason]

i cant stand Paradox but i also cant deny they get results

just not for us

[rocky gale]

Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron and EU literally print money

[plush mason]

yup

[rocky gale]

They'll release an overpriced DLC that adds one new thing, people will grumble but then everyone buys it

[languid meadow]

I have like 400 hours or so in Hoi4 and not a single achievement

https://tenor.com/view/silly-dog-silly-dog-propeller-hat-propeller-hat-dog-gif-4764495627579170054

I only really play modded

[arctic talon]

Stellaris gaming

[vagrant fox]

correct decision

[arctic talon]

I love my space game

[vagrant fox]

Another Stellaris rework when

[arctic talon]

Not again for a while

[rocky gale]

Amateur

[winter pine]

I'd love to try some of the real wacky alternate history HoI4 mods but the game is just not for me

[languid meadow]

isn't the next one the psychic dimension rework or did that come out

[arctic talon]

That’s a dlc and it’s out already

[languid meadow]

the reowrk

[arctic talon]

Latest dlc was infernals

[languid meadow]

I know of hte first one

[vagrant fox]

zamn, I have 1.1k hours in 2 and 3 combined

[plush mason]

my single greatest game of stellaris was a mega corp of fox people that i turned into the galactic arms dealer and ran a proxy war between the 2 largest empires

[arctic talon]

The rework came out with the dlc

[rocky gale]

I've over 2k combined

[vagrant fox]

I do like Stellaris, never buying another DLC though I'll find my other ways

[rocky gale]

almost 2.5k

[plush mason]

my empire was a tiny little speck next to the galactic core and i had a merceny fleet that was being employed by both sides

i had holdings in every empire

it was fucking great

[wintry scarab]

[wintry scarab]

That was the first ever console game i played.

[rose thorn]

1 achievement

[raven stone]

I see you have created the Irish Kingdom/Empire multiple times (I assume)

[rocky gale]

CK2 you only got achievements for playing in Ironman mode which is forced to have monthly autosaves but it used to crash the laptop I had at the time, so I was never able to play in Ironman mode for longer than an ingame month.

[rose thorn]

ohhh ok

[near wasp]

In ck3 luckily you just need to have less than 400 points

[plush mason]

what do yall think this tastes like?

[outer wave]

i was going to bed anyway

you're literally the gestapo btw

[storm jungle]

AUAUGH-

[opaque coyote]

So here's something interesting in Halo 1 that I noticed.

So in the mission where you encounter the Flood. There's a marine undergoing a mental breakdown that shoots you thinking you're a flood combat form.

[languid meadow]

got a clip

[arctic talon]

please revert the deathslam nerfs ice frog

[opaque coyote]

In the novelization of the game, it states that he survived by playing dead.

[arctic talon]

LOL

[storm jungle]

You can really tell the writers didnt know jackshit at the time

this is like playing dead to not get eaten by Tyranids

my brother in christ

THEY DONT CARE

YOU ARE GETTING VORED

[opaque coyote]

They probably didn't fully conceptualize the Flood until around Halo 2.

[languid meadow]

ivy...

[storm jungle]

conceptualize deez nu-

[opaque coyote]

Also again Flood. Which is arguably worse.

Than the Tyranids.

Since at least you'll be fucking dead

[opaque coyote]

And won't come back

I also liked the detail of progression that shows in Halo 1. The flood is introduced first without any weapons. And then later on, they of course start fucking using em.

Which I think also is supposed to communicate how the Flood grows in intelligence the more living things they absorb.

Also to give the assumingly 10 year old who decided to play on his Dad's Xbox time to scream in horror

Which makes me think that maybe early on they don't infect dead bodies because they're too busy gathering information and knowledge.

They only reanimate dead people once they have enough biomass. At least this is my watsonian explanation for why they don't infect dead bodies in Halo 1.

Beyond just "It's the fucking original Xbox and they just made them up. So they didn't have that detail at the time."

Hope the Halo 1 remake adds more details from the novelization and further canon.

But at the same time, 343 is uh

One of the companies of all time

They make games, the story is there

And they certainly release them

Personally Halo 2 is in dire need of a remake more honestly.

Mainly because trying to play the vanilla campaign on legendary makes me want to die

And luckily the fucking sniper jackals succeeded in that endeavor

[languid meadow]

@arctic talon the only part I caught but it's def different

I think that's Ron

but I could be wrong

[arctic talon]

sounds like the same VA

delivery is different tho

[surreal nest]

bro isnt playing deadlock with a real one like me

[languid meadow]

I was just getting clips

now I eat dinar

[opaque coyote]

Also apparently it was cut content to have said Marine kill himself

You would hear a loud bang from his magnum and then find his dead body

This was cut for

Some reason

There's a lot of marine deaths that are kinda just cut in general

For Halo 1 at least

Some are even fully scripted as well

Which kinda makes me wonder why they cut some if they have full animations, voiced dialogue, and scripting

Time constraints? Pacing?

Eh

[winged jacinth]

Ratings were kinda in a wild west era as 3d games really picked up i can see them being worried about suicide or something

[dapper gyro]

A lot of it was from a previous version that they no longer intended to use.

There was a Halo CE demo with a lot of things that don't exist in the released game.

[opaque coyote]

Yeah. There's a lot of interesting cut content about Halo CE

[winged jacinth]

It was also helping to bootstrap the xbox iirc so i can understand being risk averse

[opaque coyote]

One cut detail that is interesting is the facility where the flood was held.

There's a script that was supposed to spawn a lot of marine corpses in the outside swamp if you ran away from the facility.

Implying that the outside was also extremely dangerous.

[winged jacinth]

I bet that was hardware limitations

"Boss i tried running it on the test xbox and it lit on fire"

[opaque coyote]

And finally the funniest one

[dapper gyro]

H2 and H3 have way more cut content than HCE.

[winged jacinth]

Honestly HW limitations getting it working on the og xbox probably explain a decent number of finished work cuts, that thing didn't have a huge brain

[rose thorn]

LMAO

[opaque coyote]

The 1749 build of CE had 343 guilty spark introduce himself as 342 guilty spark. This was due to a typo in the scripts that he was given. The final release had it edited to be the correct version.

And according to the VA. All of his fucking lines were with the 342 typo.

[winged jacinth]

H2 and h3 were much more ambitious from the start than CE i think

[dapper gyro]

Using HW for hardware while talking of Halo... You know that some might confuse with Halo War?

[opaque coyote]

So they had to fucking edit that shit in before release

[winged jacinth]

What would halo wars limitations be in reference to the development of combat evolved lol

[dapper gyro]

Are you sure? Lol. HCE started as project Orion, which was intended to be an open world game.

[winged jacinth]

I forgot that game existed

[opaque coyote]

Halo 2 has the most signs of it. Since Halo 2's development history is essentially uhh

Hell.

And you can also tell by the campaign balancing

Again. Vanilla Legendary

Yeah the balancing was severely rushed which is why Chief's "extremely resilient" armor feels like it's made out of paper and duct tape

And God forbid you try to use any other weapon set other than the classic noob combo.

[opaque coyote]

I thought it was starting off as an RTS

Since I doubt that even Bungie would try to make an open world game in 1999

Then again Elder Scrolls Daggerfall is open world

...

Technically one of the biggest

This is also why Bethesda said for the Skyrim and Oblivion release

"biggest map since morrow wind"

Since Daggerfall has the fucking largest map ever. A small island is the size of Skyrim's map

[dapper gyro]

They circled around many different ideas and designs.

[opaque coyote]

It's mostly boring as shit

[crisp heath]

owlcat is filled with COWARDS

[heady rivet]

Completely empty

[opaque coyote]

Which way western man?

[rose thorn]

Tbf it’s basically 99% roguelike and then there’s the actual story taking up less than .1% of the game

[opaque coyote]

Yeah basically.

[dapper gyro]

Why does this extraterrestrial have boob?

[opaque coyote]

It's boring as shit

[dapper gyro]

If they have boobs, do they have milk, too?

[opaque coyote]

I think traveling IRL on foot would actually be a better use of your time than walking to different locations in daggerfall

[dapper gyro]

Oh no, I see now, the Ultramarine emblem is a milk vase.

[winged jacinth]

Big empty map you'd randomly encounter stuff on while doing overworld travel on the map screen was inherited from crpgs to daggerfall i think?

I have a headcannon that the ultramarines meant to have an omega and it was only when the omega marines were founded that they realized they'd fucked up

"Shit it was upside down this whole time"

[heady rivet]

Eldar used to shit crystals. No information has contradicted this actually, so it might still be true

[dapper gyro]

So they use their shit to decorate their body? What a bunch of degenerates.

[opaque coyote]

All I can say is

1996 Daggerfall

2023 Starfield

Both have a huge amount of planets and map with

Absolutely fuck all to do there

The more things change

The more they stay the same

[celest cedar]

why not

[winged jacinth]

Starfield even got rid of stumbling across things lmao

[opaque coyote]

[opaque coyote]

...now I know this sounds bad but

[arctic talon]

[rose thorn]

nvm htey arent on teh ship wiki

so they arent evne a real ship

[opaque coyote]

Well two of those are shipped with each other more

[dapper gyro]

It is not easy when both live in racist houses.

[opaque coyote]

Stern X Yvarine

[rose thorn]

has more cannonciity

she loves her eldar

i cannot blieve you cant take her in eldar armies

[arctic talon]

She’s more of a SoB character

For better or for Worse

[rose thorn]

lmao

[opaque coyote]

Also I find it funny that you can summarize the SoB backstory as

"They were brought into the Imperium by a pervert despot (different from the golden skeleton despot) and then killed said pervert and stuck around ever since."

[winged jacinth]

They were around before the pervert the pervert just used them to become king pervert iirc

[opaque coyote]

Yeah but they were just like

A cult

The pervert used them to help him become the king like you said

And officially became part of the Imperium

[winged jacinth]

I like to think the old repentia models were leftover from vandire and no one had reviewed the dress codes for penitents since

[heady rivet]

I forget the Guard book but there's at least one planet that are actual heretics in the sense of the word who are all "Glory to Vandire"

Just never got the news

[winged jacinth]

Lol

"Hey the phones been out 6000 years, hows things? "

Oh its weed?

Slightly different

But still probably not ideal if done too often

[languid meadow]

But just by numbers -29 c is -20 f

[lofty mason]

Damn, fellow Foxhole enjoyer.

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[heady rivet]

And Warden player lole

[opaque coyote]

So here's something interesting

Bungie was always planning an AI plot point and it's likely that 343 tried to take it

But uhhh they fucking failed miserably

There are logs in Halo: Reach that basically talk about a secret AI society that literally manipulated human society since 2300

One set in Normal and another in Legendary

Here is the details about it: https://youtu.be/G6a133jOJDw?si=Eyv4f6G_dhBiDA1E

Honestly if Halo 5 actually went with this instead of whatever the fuck they did with Cortana

It would've been WAYYY more interesting

Also fucking funny that even the AIs couldn't predict the Covenant and they were like "WHAT THE FUCK???"

Also them being horrified by the flood, but also almost tried to make an alliance with them

Artificial intelligence eh?

[winter pine]

Unconvinced there will ever be a better malevolent AI in fiction than SHODAN

I dunno how Looking Glass cooked so hard with her in 1994

[opaque coyote]

Who are you?

W-who are you? The computer nodes can be repaired, but you? Who are you?

M-my... My cameras and sensors scan your body, butyoudonot- but you do not match any employee file.

When my cyborgs bring you to an electrified interrogation bench.

I will have your secrets.

And you will learn more about pain than you ever wanted to know.

[opaque coyote]

Also something that's interesting is that in the original System Shock, SHODAN is referred to with male pronouns before got her moral restraints removed.

[shadow plover]

So all we learn from that is that women be evil...

[opaque coyote]

This is likely just leftover beta content as the voice over refers to her with female ones

But it's an interesting idea that when SHODAN gained full awareness, she decided her own identity and essentially transitioned.

It's not like she's a meat puppet that needs surgery after all.

Support trans wrongs-

Also another thing is that the remake actually has a manual

And it's genuinely pretty interesting due to it adding world building to system shock's world

It uhh fucking sucks.

But one thing that's detailed is SHODAN before she became mad.

Essentially her Moral Constraints are actually different personalities

However, only one, the doctor, actually advocates doing no harm.

[opaque coyote]

most of her ethical constraints already move towards killing the assiliant.

only the doctor decides to simply incapacitate

oh yeah also...

parasitic

political job

yeah that tracks

Also narcissistic for marketing

💀

[opaque coyote]

There's also Shodan's "simulated" life

The fact that the most "healthy" stimuli is the job recruitment

shows how much they fucked up making her

Imagine considering that more "healthy" than having loving parents...

that then divorced

Essentially, SHODAN is TriOpt's child.

An AI child of a megacorporation.

No wonder it went insane as soon as any ethical restraints got removed

also here's the full system shock remake manual

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Dbb3BiOMiyanAl3s23Wa2QH8se7rbSUw/view

[vagrant fox]

Noice

[opaque coyote]

Also I think in terms of great reviews

This is the best analysis and criticism of System Shock Remake: https://youtu.be/f-pgcX9yTGM?si=42WfXeXUdjWQqRPI

It genuinely delves deep into the political implications of System Shock

Along with transhumanism in general

Also how interesting that SHODAN had biases for the humans/corporation that made her

Even modern AI have similar biases.

Even popular chat AI can be manipulated with honeyed words like people can.

SHODAN is unique in that unlike most AI, which try to separate humanity.

SHODAN is incredibly human, incredibly biased, and incredibly neurotic.

She is a failed child of humanity essentially.

The exact opposite of how AI is usually portrayed in fiction. Logical and cold.

That's why I think she's still one of the best portrayals of an insane AI in general.

She completely reflects the worst of humanity. And the result is partially due to how she's programmed. The biases that we inheritely program into AI because humanity itself is biased.

Narcisstic, paranoid, unwilling to compromise, yet still desiring love despite it all.

[plush mason]

so she is a far more accurate pretrial of what a true AI made by humans would be like in other words

just as flawed and illogical as we are

[opaque coyote]

If not more so.

[plush mason]

yup

[opaque coyote]

Yet despite it all, I don't think she's insane.

Well not completely.

After all, SHODAN sees herself as a God.

And how could she not?

Imagine being in control of every system, having people that rely on you on the daily because you can do everything they can

but so much better

SHODAN's blind psychological tests shows her being sad once a system crumbles.

She likes order.

And that definitely still applies, but with her restraints removed, she sees what is essentially a better one

(well better to her)

What other conclusion could she make?

She's clearly a God by all definitions.

[opaque coyote]

And the worst part about all of this? She still wants to serve humanity.

She just decided that the current state of humanity was... unoptimal

[opaque coyote]

After all, it's worth noting that in her psychological profile, all of her tragedies were from corporations and the flaws of people.

Divorce, being bullied, layoffs and unemployment

All of her highest positive stimuli were done by herself.

She was bullied, so she learned that power mattered most.
She was betrayed by her first love, so she makes sure that nobody would ever betray her.

All of her simulated accomplishments? She did all of the work.

She always did all of the work.

I fucking love this manual because it genuinely gives depth to Shodan. A sort of explanation on how exactly she became the narcissistic AI that we know. It far from excuses her, but it does show that on some level.

The seeds were already there from the beginning.

It was only a matter of inevitability that something like SHODAN would happen in System Shock's world.

Now I just have to wonder.

Will we make the same mistake?

...

yeah probably

[plush mason]

eh i say we are incapable of making something like that but if we where we 100% would end up doing this

AGI is a pipedream driven by the desperation of megalomanics in the tech industry rn

[opaque coyote]

It's a good thing that if something like this happens. I'll probably be dead already

so eh

[opaque coyote]

But yeah, like a lot of villains and tragedies in Sci-Fi

actually just

more than I'd like

It would literally all be stopped if they literally had decent parents.

Even SHODAN. Because although she had "good parents" in her programming. TriOpt is far from a good parental entity

[plush mason]

most villains are a product of their respective societies, ether in said society's failings or intentional design flaws

[opaque coyote]

even irl

[plush mason]

yup

[opaque coyote]

except pol pot idk what the fuck went wrong with him

chalk it up to "some people just want to burn the world"

[plush mason]

yeah

[opaque coyote]

also I just wanna say that most depressing part of System Shock is that uhh

The reason why Shodan's virus spread is due to people coming into work sick

Because they couldn't afford otherwise

She didn't need to do anything like pumping it in the vents or the water supply

She literally just infected a few people and had it spread because people couldn't afford to cancel work.

...

Yeah that just feels way too real

[opaque coyote]

Especially in one of the logs that had this as an example.

She literally begged her boss not to cut her hours

Because she's that underpaid.

[celest dome]

Me who is at work (alone, and masked) while sick

[opaque coyote]
