Well this book and skimming it was actually pretty cool. I imagine we may fight that Psion leader OXA machine builder lady at some point.


Also confirmed at the end of the raid we get transported to Calus' flagship and it's a new social space full of ladies and books and tea and poo poo.

Also calling it now, it's gonna be Calus that shows up in the Leviathan and he's gonna be pissed we took out Ghaul ourselves, and we're gonna have to shoot him in the face.

Its literally an invitation to kill Ghaul and the others, saying if you do that he will invite you to the Leviathan to go through his arenas and chill in his gardens and baths. So no he won't be pissed but we will probably get to fight him as he's clearly possessed by a Worm.

I think it was kinda implied when he talks about getting the bone to call for reinforcements that he was going to call in the Hive but maybe I was reaching.

He explicitly rips on the weak willed hive for eating the worms so I don't think so. If anything he sounds like an ahamkara fetishist.

He uses the "Oh ___ of mine" tick which the Worm Gods, Hive Gods, and Ahamkara use and it's suggestive that he has an Ahamkara bone. He also directly references seeing the Book of Sorrows story and talks about people taking the Worm larvae, though dicks on them and says they were bad.

It's speculation that he's taken a Worm.

People in Canada got used to EB Games as a franchise. Gamestop stores just did poorly and ended up closing down, Don't ask me why.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

GameStop bought EB Games up here in Canada and rather than just rebranding EB Games into GameStops they actually built GameStops, typically in malls/areas with multiple EB Games' already, and were baffled by them not gaining any momentum. So they just closed down the GameStops and kept the EB Games branding.

As I pointed out he rips on the worm takers and it seems 100% more likely this is ahamkara related

The Ahamkara and Worm Gods are probably one and the same thing. That's probably why the Traveller asked the Guardians to wipe them out. After the Traveller left the Harmony, despite the Gift Mast, they turned to the Ahamkara.

"Now arrives Xivu Arath, at the head of her armada. She fights the Harmony for fifty years with strategies and discipline. But the Harmony turn to dragon-wishes, and their wishful bishops wrestle Xivu in the ascendant plane." http://db.destinytracker.com/d1/grimoire/enemies/books-of-sorrow/xlvi-the-gift-mast

They have access to the ascendant plane, something only the Worm Gods could grant the Hive.

"THE DRAGONS. Our gods should be ours alone. Their smug freedom is an insult to me. I’d shut them all in cells. Bring them to me!" http://db.destinytracker.com/d1/grimoire/enemies/books-of-sorrow/xlv-id-shut-them-all-in-cells

The fact that she says that their gods (the Worm Gods) cant' be shared with the Harmony is the strongest suggestion they are the same thing. The Worm Gods and the other Ahamkara probably don't have the same motivations, though neither seem to work for the Light/Sky.

I was having a huge problem with headshots in the PC beta. I use Switch controllers through a program that translates it into an Xbox controller on my PC and the tilt controls just felt like way off. I could not land those shots at all I hope they fix this or I'm canceling my preorder.

Given everything we know about the Ahamkara/Worm Gods It would be totally in-character for the Ahamkara to trick the Emperor into thinking taking their help "totally wasn't the same mistake the Hive made, Honest!"
