#fuck entropy

[internets-big-dommer]

Before I go to sleep, one thought

Entropy is kinda fucked up. You know? How everything just kinda ends? Yeah, here's my hate letter to it. I hate it: 1. How people I love will die and I will be unable to love them, how pieces of media that I love and changed me will be forgotten, how I will be forgotten ultimately, but that isn't important. 2. How seemingly eternal things like stars, religions and species will cease to be due to entropy and it's figurative children and siblings such as aging, death and change. 3. How the memory of every pain and joy that I experienced/my loved ones around me experienced/I caused/my loved ones caused will become dust. Forgotten. 4. How ugly my body maybe, it will also rot further beyond. It will be consumed; from the micro-biome in my stomach eating me to worms eating my brain and removing every trace of my neurological composition on an molecular level. All due to entropy. 5. That all of energy with nigh infinite potential of use, both evil and noble, is being wasted as it is forced to transmute into heat waste energy due to metaphorical tools of entropy such as the force of friction. Imagine how much energy cable to bring justice and joy and wickness and chaos is just simply morphed into heat on some planetary rock 24.6 light years from earth due to entropy.

You kill life and the stars, fuck you entropy

Iterator oc ask game 😁 1,2,6,8,16 keeping you busy by shoving so many questions down your throat also ALL OF THEM (ok just choose if you cant answer them all LMAO ANYWAY HI JET <333)

GHDKGHSFKS HIII ZAROU!! THIS IS GONNA BE LONG SO — HERE WE GO

1 ) Does your iterator's name mean anything? In their lore or symbolically? If so, what?

2) Is your iterator in a local group? Who else is in it?

Can’t say much about this one because 1) most of it is still under wraps 😁 and 2) I havent gotten that far yet LMAO I still need to design like. Sixteen of them. Which will probably take a good while

6) What does your iterator like to talk about?

Step enjoys entomology but also just biology in general! Their qpp Flawless Victory is more of a listener and enjoys hearing about all the things they get up to on their adventures :)

Lucid, on the other hand…

… Well, she needs a murder buddy to talk with! ^^

8) What is your iterator's opinion on bioengineering? Natural ability of iterators? A cruel push of artificial will? Something to be moderated? etc.

The others don’t have a very strong opinions on the matter. Also my hand hurts lmao

16) Does your iterator have an underlying condition (rot, damage, illness, etc.)? How do they feel about it?

…Yeah I gave them carpal tunnel basically. I love projecting onto my silly little guys

…Surprisingly, she doesn’t think much of it.

AND YEAH THERE WE GO :D I’M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS/ASKS YOU HAVE FOR THEM !!

it's so fuckin funny to me that one of the devs was like "oh the combat in veilguard will be ACTUALLY FUN" like... bitch i LIKED the combat in origins and 2! it was actually fun for me! the issue was that you fucking CHANGED it for inquisition, and now you're changing it again! it doesn't even feel like dragon age combat anymore! what is wrong with you

HIIIII HI HELLO ENTROPY ZERO PEOPLE IT IS I AND I HAVE COME TO DEFEND AIDEN WALKER/BAD COP AND IF U THINK HES ANNOYING UR WRONG AND SHOULD FEEL BAD /j

Bad cop in entropy zero 1 wasn't exactly the blank slate people expect from half life games/mods, but he didn't have much depth-- all we really knew back then was that he was quippy and very good at his job. He doesn't like people at all and is loyal to the combine to a fault, but we don't know his past, what his motivations are, and we kind of don't need to. EZ1 is about survival in a harsh environment where everything and anything is trying to kill u and u just sort of stop a gigantic rebel plot by accident and u get a shiny (mandatory) promotion out of all of it.

Entropy zero 2's writing is really fucking underappreciated because it takes that basic framework and elaborates on it ingeniously. When he insults people he kills or says "people suck" its not because he's quirky or some kind of generic marvel character it's because people do genuinely fucking SUCK. They used a mentally ill man as a scapegoat for a crime he was a victim of that cost him his family, locked him in a prison/care facility and tried to "change" him. Because he wasn't "normal" to their standards. They stripped him of every single comfort and right he had, every reason he ever had to care about a human being, not just the justice system and prosecutors who failed him and the caretakers who likely neglected or mistreated him but the people who hurt his family and took his daughter and the people who likely discriminated against him simply for existing in a neurotypical society.

This also gives Aiden a degree of separation from loyalty to the combine. He's not just evil for the sake of it he wants to find his daughter Ava and the combine's family cohesion perks are the only chance he has. He's loyal but only because he has an incentive to, and he won't hesitate to kill anyone, and I do mean *anyone*, including his coworkers and a fucking COMBINE ADVISOR if he thinks they can't help him or are trying to stop him from finding Ava. He's good at his job but gets in trouble for killing other cops in a rage induced stupor (not unlike victor-sixty) and of course because these are cops and his boss likes him the chief lets him go with a slap on the wrist and "outland duty" because he is "worth 10 of those guys", and he fucking IS. And Aiden takes it like a champ bc he will do fucking anything to find Ava. His Humor doesn't resonate with everyone and that is understandable (some ppl find him annoying and hes not for everyone), but he's not trying to be funny for funny's sake! He's using it as a coping mechanism for the fact that he has nothing else left and he's being lead along in the hope that he can regain atleast SOMETHING from his old life.

And of course, there is the master template (clone cop) and wilson. I love u wilson and u are definitely the canon ending but i wish i didnt have to babysit u without feeling bad I am getting sidetracked

A clone plot is hard to pull off and in most cases fails spectacularly but in Entropy Zero 2 it just fucking works. Clone cop/master is just the older clone of Aiden but fucking UNHINGED. His loyalty to the combine is gone because he realized they're just using him as an effective tool, and the moment he gets Ava he has no reason to fight for them anymore. So naturally he RIPS OUT A PART OF HIS FUCKING SKULL AND SUSTAINS HIMSELF WITH BOOTLEG CYBERNETICS (I am not joking EZ2 is good at environmental storytelling u can find his fucking skullcap in his little laboratory just before plan B) there are so many little details I noticed on clone cop just before escorting judith on how he butchered himself just to stay independent and have a better chance at finding Ava. His will is fuckign unbreakable which feeds directly into his relationship with the player character Aiden. Clone cop is less of a clone then the Aiden u play as is!!! He even has the prototype AR2! In contrast, the Aiden u play as is clearly modified-- He's much more loyal to the combine but his will isn't unbreakable, and while Wilson doesn't directly factor into whether or not he chooses to fight the Advisor Wilson is CRUCIAL. Clone cop is methodical, using the survival skills from the events of the first game to subvert the rebels, the wildlife, even the combine-- The player character Aiden in turn is (arguably) less badass then Clone cop precisely because they modified him to be more loyal, taking away some of that incredible will and tenacity to try and keep him under wraps. This is proven in the there will be darkness ending where Aiden is mowed down like a standard grunt as soon as his memories/what makes him himself are taken from him.

THE WILSON ENDING IS THE CANON ENDING. THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.

Wilson is such a fucking important support friend for Aiden because he actually gets the chance to talk with something that isn't a human and is very sympathetic. Aiden goes from being fed up with him and using him as a survival tool to being genuinely concerned for him over the course of the game, Wilson is at first just a way for Bad cop to escape the lab beneath arbiet and maybe pick up supply caches scattered across the other arbiet facilities and sure MAYBE that's the only reason that Aiden brings him along at first but Wilson is very nice and sympathetic and he doesn't judge Aiden and it just. Gives Aiden a chance to rant about his feelings and open up and remember things instead of taking medication and bottling all of his emotions up. Wilson in turn is just thankful to escape the labs beneath arbiet and maybe have a chance at becoming an administrator AI one day if Aiden uploads him into the arbiet AI mainframe!!!! And the coolest part out of all of this is that clone cop only used Wilson as a tool and didn't really care about him but someone like Wilson is exactly what he needed to start healing!!! And the fact that Wilson is able to infiltrate the combine network undetected and free Aiden from the Combine when he's captured out of unconditional love and the fact that "hes da boss" is fucking GREATI am just fucking! Going insane!!! Its so well written!

In entropy zero 3 wilson and aiden will destroy the combine forever and victor sixty will also be there and he and Aiden will get married (real)
