Following A Rumor I Heard, I Decided To Check Out If This Easter Egg Was Real. Words Can't Do It Justice.

I need to be kidnapped by kind aliens who take me to the alien vet and they know exactly what's wrong with me and they cure me and feed me nutritious meals

TIL that there are fully modelled and textured stealthsuits for the Arirals and that they have not, in fact, been skulking around the facility in the nude.

(kerf for scale)

Strangely I've *also* considered the "what-if" of vehicle/limb upgrades. Like really specifically as they're depicted here. I've imagined some sort of event where you end up maimed, and based on Ariral rep you either wake up with an upgraded limb, or have to struggle to craft a lesser prosthetic yourself. Seems like the sort of thing that would happen.

And yeah, a vehicle upgrade would definitely be some sort of warparrow-like hovercraft. Preferably it wouldn't catapult you 5 miles away if you hit something at slightly-higher-than-average speeds.

woah its john voices

Me basically going "While I don't have anything in particular to say about this, I want to assure you that you're not being ignored or anything like that."

love reacting with emojis in discord . #1 activity . i am listening and nodding but i dont have anything to say or itd be rude to intrude . emojis my best friend

So my takeaway is that the people who DID notice that something was off are pretty evenly split on the matter. So I guess I'm just never referring to compass directions in this game, since there's a good chance that people will head off in the opposite direction of what I mean.

Interpreting VotV's Weird Maps

The map is a detail in Voices of the Void that always seemed kind of weird to me. Is it some cultural difference? Eldritch geometries? Alternate Earth with inverted magnetic field? Hostile cartographers? Trolling dev? Like what's going on there?

ouch!

Dr. Kel's Fears

So I got that Voices of the Void brainrot going on and had a thought about the nightmare sequences. They seem to indicate Dr. Kel fearing things like drowning, enclosed spaces, mannequins, starvation, and so on. But... isn't there a prevalent source of fear in the game that's conspicuously absent from the list of nightmares?

Aliens. Space. The Void and the Voices we hear from it. Dr. Kel never has any nightmares directly relating to these things. Which, to me, implies a lot of things about Kel's 'canon' personality. Like I get the impression that Canon Kel would totally be down to hang out with the Arirals, possibly being largely unaffected by the "fake alien abduction/invasion" pranks.

In other words, Dr. Kel feels like one of those chat members saying the game feels 'cozy' while the streamer is in the verge of a heart attack.

But y'know. That's just my interpretation/speculation.

My house was haunted by Rod Serling, but he just narrated my day to day as if my life was a TZ episode.

ok this addition is fucking me up because of parts of the dream I didn't elaborate on. Namely: 1: Claw Lady and Deer Lady were a couple 2: Claw Lady accidentally killed Deer Lady 😬

There was a show about a group of superheroes who, at the time, seemed like they had compelling powers, but now that I’m awake I realize how lame they were. It included characters such as:

A woman with “deadly claws” (They were just long fingernails)

A man who couldn’t be seen as long as light wasn’t touching him (Literally just how darkness works???)

A surgeon (His power was being a surgeon)

Some kind of deer lady (No powers outside of being a deer lady, but it’s still something at least)

At some point there was this shocking episode where, on an infiltration mission, most of them died in brutally gory and tragic ways. There must have been backlash somewhere, because the next episode was a goofy comical retelling of the infiltration mission where nobody died. I woke up before learning which version was canon.
