Went and updated both of my intros a little bit because apparently it has been a few months shy of a year since I made this account, which is insane to me.

The Bacon saga continues with another friend.

Spoilers for Techrot Encore ahead…kind of, regarding Technocyte Coda.

Bacon boy (as I have ‘affectionately’ dubbed him) has ended up on my Railjack.

Not sure if he’ll be here for long bc I do actually enjoy having an engineer, but it’s amusing me at the moment to see him taking up half the damn screen.

Rusalka

[venture-through-the-mist]

So, the ‘Lone Ranger’ emote might be a lil…off when you use it for your Operator.

At least, mine is.

It took me a good few seconds to realize that, no, that was not just her face looking weird.

Nope.

Spoilers for ‘Rank’ (idfk what it’s called since they’re not a Syndicate or anything) ‘Close’ with Minerva and Velimir.

OMG LOOK AT THEM

AGH

I’m going to write an in-depth analysis of these two and their relationship eventually, I just want to get through all the KIM messages first but—

They’re facing each otherrrr.

[venture-through-the-mist]

So, I finally decided to take the opportunity to replay The Hex quest (and the Finale), because I’d realized that I’d kind of forgotten a lot of what happened with Rusalka/The Man in the Wall/Albrecht specifically (somehow…).

…

I brought my Saryn with me and had the fantastic idea to use her Gemini skin while we were chasing down Entrati.

So poor Minerva had a fun little time.

It was certainly a choice.

…

Apparently Bacon enjoys SPRINTING around my Railjack constantly

Couldn’t even get him to stop for two seconds to get a good picture. Dude’s just…having a time, I guess.

The fact that the Drifter still has beef with Arthur over the whole ‘square spaghetti’ (or whatever tf it was) thing will never not be funny to me.

[venture-through-the-mist]

…Upon learning Minerva’s side of the story (or part of it, at least)…yeahhhh, Velimir, you most certainly FUCKED UP.

Welp.

I did my KIM conversations for today.

Goddamnit Velimir, don’t make me cry.

Spoilers for his and Minerva’s (and Major Rusalka’s…kinda) lore below (aka actual screenshots of his KIM chats, you’ve been forewarned).

Wasn’t expecting to adore him as much as I do but he’s such a dad.

I did assume that he had something to do with Rusalka leaving, but I certainly didn’t expect this.

Between this, him asking if my Drifter wants a hug, and him calling the Drifter ‘lil buddy’, I just…

So.

I was right.

I am losing my mind, both over her and Velimir (though I’m also really loving Kaya and Flare’s stories so far).

…Eventually when I get my thoughts together enough, I’ll write an actual post because the stuff I’ve picked up from them from the KIM conversations just…

It has the potential to be so goddamn heartbreaking and I’m so here for it.

As much as I adore Eleanor (and will continue to, ofc. What’s not to love about her?), when the Techrot Encore update comes out, I am going to be losing my mind a tad over Minerva.

Just a bit.

Just a small, tiny bit.

Ew.

I've been farming one of the capture missions for the relics i need to finish gunsen prime, and mission that's like 60 seconds on repeat, i'll change which of the Lotus appearances, just for variety, and i noticed that in game, all three members of their system have distinct tones to their voice lines, and i somehow hadn't noticed until then, so it really does feel like a different member is fronting

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!

I do the same thing and swap around my Lotuses every so often :3

We have wanted to do a proper long video voice comparison for EVERY Lotus skin for soooo long! We just adore the detail that the team put into each fronter... Our observations so far have been the following:

Natah: Has the most low and even pitched voice, with a smooth static throughout. Almost quieter than the others because of the "deep, wallowing" quality her filter has.

Margulis: Ever so slightly pitched up, with no static filters. Smooth clean voice IN THEORY but we definitely pick up a higher pitch from her.

Lotus (Default): An even pitch with a slight monotone, and the static in voice filter is broken sporadically by interference. It's rather distracting, tbh, but it's by design!

Amaga and Naberus: Use the same filter as Lotus Default........... I THINK. Need to double check. Amaga might have a smoother static filter closer to Natah.

Lotus Radiant: The same even pitch and slight monotone as Default, but the static in her transmissions is now much quieter and totally silky smooth like Natah !!!!!!!! (This is the cutest detail when we now know that Lotus OG was brainwashed and Lotus Radiant was freed from that brainwashing!!)

Eidolon Lotus: The most rough and gruff voice filter Lotus has by virtue of the overall processing and the harsher static interference noises in her transmissions... It's like i can feel her in the back of my throat... (hi 🤤😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🔥🔥)

But YAAAH these r just our written observations we would love to buckle down and record these in-mission one day!!

Why do people assume that knowing how grammar works is a marker of AI? Just…it’s so stupid.

someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue

Warframe 1999 spoilers incoming (kinda, just talking about the messaging system).

I absolutely love the messaging system in Warframe 1999. Not only am I a sucker for lore (and godDAMN there’s a lot of it!!), but it’s actually really helping me figure out some personality quirks for my Drifter that I’d never really thought of before.

I also really love the fact that they put so much work into making the Hex feel distinct from one another. They all have different typing styles and word choice and AHH idk I just think it’s neat. I came into this with a certain mindset, and now I genuinely really like all of the Hex.

That being said, I keep on unintentionally upsetting Amir (aka I’ve done it twice) and then feeling really bad about it lmfao. Sometimes I think the tones of the texts will be different when they’re actually sent and they are decidedly not lol.

I thought I fucked up with Eleanor’s convo today too, but apparently not.
