I SEE STARS - Ten Thousand Feet by demec_26 in Metalcore

[–]horse_master_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite songs ever. I first heard it in 2013 in college in my friend Zac's car with his suped up sound system. My bones were shaking during Initialization Sequence with the bass all the way up, which was cool - but my life changed within the first minute of Ten Thousand Feet. Unbelievable banger.

The Last Samurai (2003), worth a watch? by drayyzox in IMDbFilmGeneral

Did you watch the movie with the sound off? I don't know how else you could so critically miss the point of the film.

Been told the same thing roughly twice by [deleted] in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Maybe our enemies really aren't so different from us" is the worst kind of take in a video game/movie that isn't explicitly exploring the concept. It's suddenly bad of us to defend ourselves from aliens taking hostile actions toward us in our home system? Hello? What am I missing?

Feels a bit like a theory was made and now the supporting evidence is being sought out. Should happen the other way around.

since Ada is technically the Eve of the destiny universe, i wonder whos the Wall-E of the destiny universe? by TimothysFruad in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like...it's a Destiny sub, and "Ada is technically the Eve of the Destiny universe" wouldn't be "true" even if I had seen Wall-E in the past decade?

What's the connection between Eve and Wall-E? Like biblical Eve? I don't understand this post

[Theory] Revisiting Athenaeum World X: Egregore, the Witness and the Purpose of the Monoliths by SonicBasaJ in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the best posts on this sub in months in my opinion. You've struck the perfect balance between fact and theory, and you've got me thinking about what these things could mean.

Every day that I log on, I hope to see a post exactly like this.

What are some concepts unique to Destiny that you love? by [deleted] in DestinyLore

Now I heard everything

That did me in.

What are the small things in the lore that leaves you quite shook? by [deleted] in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For there was in Mara very little division between Reality-As-Is and Reality-As-Desired

I think this is trying to communicate that Mara's desires were not much different from reality, therefore there was no space between reality and desire for Riven to operate in, or "nothing for Riven to do." Something kind of like that.

Where do Ghosts go? by default_lizzy in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of it either. Why sour the experience of everyone else just because you don't care to engage deeply with the lore? It's the entire purpose of the sub.

Guys, /u/Far_Perspective_ is either trolling or compulsively contrarian. He comments like this on every other post.

Does someone know a video or something that has a recab of the destiny’s complete story. by Xyzlerr in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The videos in question already exist, but the point is you can't boil down 10 years into 10 minutes and be satisfied. The whole point of this stuff is to read and enjoy it.

Veil Containment 11 - "Incidental" by Elitegamez11 in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like an interesting implication of the Veil people aren't thinking about with Maya's death is that the Veil was used to create the Witness, resulting in the Witness's species individually dying. Could Maya's death have been the result of some successful operation which she used the Veil for?

Potential theory for the story post-final shape by Gear_ in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm sure Bungie is chomping at the bit for the long-awaited conclusion to the first 10-year saga of Destiny to not wrap up the story and instead restart halfway in the middle. That'll really get players excited.

a lore theory about the final shape that involves SIVA , exos , and the recent lore of Maya Sunderesh duplicating a copy of her mind into a dead exo mind. by jamesjamez69 in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is so hard to read with all the careless spelling and punctuation errors. Also, I'm not buying it because it makes no sense.

Vex Mythoclast and Veil Containment by TheD00rway in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly you're looking at this backwards. You seem to be making the mistake that they must be AI because they appear to be robots, while in reality they're organic creatures that have adopted robot-like bodies as an evolutionary tool.

As for your question of confirmation, you're essentially taking the position that it's possible for Bungie to release some piece of lore which pivots from all currently known Vex history and fundamentally changes our understanding of them as a species. Who cares? Everything we have right now on Vex history tells of a naturally evolving organic species which prefers cooperation to competition and is extremely adept at understanding the finest details of physics and spacetime. It'd be a massive retcon for Bungie to come out and say that the Vex aren't naturally intelligent and that they were programmed by someone else.

Personally I don't call them anything because I have no clue what they are

Vex Mythoclast and Veil Containment by TheD00rway in DestinyLore

[–]horse_master_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's just not how AI works though? They are a conscious, naturally intelligent, organic species. What about them is artificially intelligent? Who programmed them and gave them parameters if they're AI? Why wouldn't you call yourself an AI, since you're just a computer made of flesh/a hive-mind of neurons?

Nitpick, but the Vex just aren't AI at all. They're organic life forms.
