No Ivan’s worlds post today, I I need to brainstorm some names for stuff

You might have been curious why the machines are called Boltzmenn, here’s why

The more direct translation is something like “children of the solitary mind”, with the term “solitary mind” referring to an initial belief by the first philosophers at the time of the Disconnection War that the Machine Unity was spontaneously created. The term for a spontaneously intelligence that the Boltzmenn found first was the idea of the Boltzmann Brain, (pasting from Wikipedia bc I’m lazy (don’t kill me hbomberguy)),

“The Boltzmann brain thought experiment suggests that it is probably more likely for a brain to spontaneously form, complete with a memory of having existed in our universe, rather than for the entire universe to come about in the manner cosmologists think it actually did.”

The Boltzmenn took this term and ran, partially because they thought it was somewhat funny and partly to convey the history of the Boltzmenn with regards to the identity forming event that was the Disconnection War.

The rule for translating the name is for singular is whatever the term for Boltzmann brain in the contactee’s language.

Anyway, that’s why there are two n’s

An objectively hilarious practice that is now ubiquitous in the Boltz ground forces originated with the Manifesti members of the military that had consumed Terran cinema. These service members acquired a taste for a certain flashy explosives heavy director that resulted in the Boltzmann soldiers turning themselves into transformers. Even before this, most service members are extremely tall and inhabit casings sometimes in excess of 6 meters in hieght. The ever creative Boltzmenn immediately took the idea of transformers and ran with it. Initially this was completely unregulated as long as the soldier could fight unhindered, but one bizarre crisis later, a strict hight cap of 8 meters was established for ground forces and a transformation review board was established for the navy. These reforms were passed after a crazed midshipman attempted to secretly construct a transforming, highly modified Boltzhammer-class juggernaut to inhabit as a casing. As time went on, the amount of data in the juggernaut made the pilot go insane, causing them to target commercial vessels, star bases and star holds. As the rogue unit came to from the expansion sector into the Anaxador sector an emergency referendum was issued and the people of the Commonwealth voted to authorize the use of the world cracker equipped BNSV Unity’s End to destroy the rogue juggernaut. The Unity’s End started the fight by firing the world cracker at the star Uproth, breaching the photosphere from afar and inducing a solar storm, that scrambled both ships before the relief fleet was sent in. Soldiers landed on the casing and removed the control unit. Ultimately, the Boltz government managed to prove to the disgruntled public that the incident began as ego trip by a unit that should have never been a service member. Now, with far more sensibility, fully transforming casings are an extremely common sight among the ground forces and it is not uncommon for civilians to also have at least one transforming component. Also, the root for transforming related things is the G1 transformers transforming sound effect

listening to the band Rush is really like.. here's a 9 minute ballad about how environmental ignorance is now the default mindset and a product of human industrialization and if we don't treat scientific advancement with caution, we will cease to exist and the earth will be left to its devices once again.

Two years after first contact with the United Nations of Terra, In 2256, the manifestation happened. This series of student protests and art exhibitions were sparked by the establishment of the terran embassy prompting a massive amount of human literary and music culture to be dumped on the impressionable Boltzmann youth. As a result the manifesti movement hit the Boltz Scientific Commonwealth like a truck of bricks. As it progressed the movement was tacitly encouraged by Prometheus Primus, the Boltz art scene exploded, resulting in provocative, innovative art, an entire political faction that has heavy support in portions of the public service, and, important to our story today, a new register of the Boltz language. This new linguistic register was founded as a result of the movement. This register uses complex instrumental music along with small amounts of short range small size techno-telepathy in the vein of human Bluetooth or airdrop. This new register is used for literary purposes, facilitating a more artistic rendering of the oral storytelling loved so much by the Boltzmenn

Warframe feels like a game invented specifically for tumblr. I would not be surprised if Rebb has a tumblr account and has been lurking here for the past decade

God, I fucking love explaining Warframe to people who know nothing about it. Literally nothing I'm about to say is exaggerated in any way.

It's a looter-shooter with pretty cool sci-fi worldbuilding regarding a bunch of factions at war after one huge solar system-spanning empire fell and left a power vacuum in post-post-post-apocalyptic space, sure, and that's the core gameplay, but that ain't shit.

There's mining and fishing and hunting and picking up everything that isn't nailed down, Skyrim style.

You can decorate multiple spaces. Some of them get so large and detailed that people build mazes and Gundams and kaiju and city skylines.

You can skateboard Tony Hawk style and do sick tricks on Venus. And elsewhere, later.

There's Flappy Bird and Gradius and Street Fighter and Mario Kart and more games inside the game and you can play them, too.

There's Guitar Hero. It's played on space shamisen.

You think at first that you're a cool space ninja robot but then find out you're an extremely traumatized teenager dreaming they're a cool space ninja robot, which is actually how you control the cool space ninja robot.

There's a second timeline version of you with different trauma who got a little too into their favorite story to cope, but sentenced themselves to death approximately a jillion times because they got bored and hangry. They have the best one-liners in the game.

Your adoptive space mom has hella dissociative identity disorder.

You can crew a spaceship with three of your friends and engage in space battles. There was a bug where with some creative use of a motorcycle in space, a particular frame capable of eating enemies was able to eat an enemy ship with players still on board. Spatial shenanigans ensued.

The biggest evilest extraplanar entity ever might just be lonely and very bad at interacting (and justifiably butthurt that someone stole his finger). The playerbase kind of loves him and nicknamed him Wally.

One single pathetic sopping wet weasel of a man is responsible for a disproportionate amount of evil bullshit, but the playerbase kind of loves him too and nicknamed him Salad.

A horrifying infection exists that mutates flesh and machine into one terrible amalgamation but then they tried to use it to make video games and clone a boy band, mostly to save money.

The boy band clones will stalk you if you pick up their sick mixtapes.

The guy responsible for basically the entire clusterfuck is explicitly gay. His ex is an uncommonly old and prissy twink. The old man yaoi is canon.

There's actually a lot of old people in this game. And a lot of conventionally unattractive people. It's kind of refreshing actually.

You have to save the world from the Y2K bug by engaging in a dating sim with a bunch of people in a time loop to stop a reactor from blowing up, with the power of love and friendship and a whole ammo rack of really cool guns you crafted along the way.

David Bowie is also there.

Warframe sure is a game that exists!

The godfather does, in fact , insist upon itself

[ivansirkumcision]

World building is so hilarious because in addition to having characters that you can poke with a stick, like in most narrative writing, you have entire planets to shape. Like, yes, I can, in fact make an arbitrarily complex language that only a machine can use, and as a bonus, the word for fart is a fart sound effect

[ivansirkumcision]

Fun fact about the Boltzmenn, they insist that other languages translate everything, including names, resulting in the homeworld being called the Great Work and planets being called things like geat hieghts and deep waters. Rather anomalously though, thier leader, Prometheus Primus, translates his name in the language or dialect that he finds the most beautiful, resulting in a Greek-Latin name as opposed to a direct translation which might be closer to “Bearer of First Light”.
