because we are cat

Sebastian Flyte posted:

I don't suppose there's any lore regarding the lower anatomy of Exos - like, if Exo dudes actually have dicks, what was the particular reason why Clovis Bray gave them dicks? Other than the obvious "deranged scientist craves hot robot cock."

And since we are on the subject, if the Eliksni have four eyes and four arms, do they also have two dicks?

Sorry, it's the last week of the season and I have absolutely nothing better to do than thinking about space dicks.

There was a Braytech terminal in one of the Mars lost sectors that would play a voice line saying, among other things, “Even though Exos have no need to eat, drink, or reproduce, recreating these needs in the Exo body drastically reduces the risk of DER [Dissociative Exomind Rejection].” So presumably they have all the necessary parts.

No word on what Eliksni have, or if they even Do It in a way humans would recognize. About all we know is they lay eggs and I think they mate for life (or Eramis and Athrys are outliers).

The main point (IMO) of all that "exo bodies need to feel EXACTLY like human bodies otherwise the mind rejects it!" is to establish that human consciousness requires darkness. Whether this is because sentience in general comes from darkness, or because humanity is the special darkness race, we don't know.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
fun(?) fact:

Most exo got an 'off the rack' kind of template body, that didn't perfectly match their biological body ie. slightly different heights, etc.

Exception was Elsie, who got a custom one that matched exactly.

There is, as others have mentioned. The nude Exo bodies in the Clovis Bray facilities are generic ones that have not had personalities or genitalia installed yet, but Exos definitely gently caress and have the equipment to do so.

It was to establish that Exos need to be able to recognize their bodies as "theirs", as evidenced by the experiment with giving an Exo some extra arms: everything went fine until he noticed that he had more arms than he should've and he promptly had a meltdown. The denatured radiolaria that Clovis used to simulate brain juice was because Clovis is a hack and not actually good enough to make his own fake brain juice, and using it also happened to inflict every Exo with the Long Slow Whisper as the process wasn't perfect and left 0.1% Vex active within the liquid. This is why Exos eventually go insane and require rebooting - they're slowly being converted into Vex and that fucks up their Human thought patterns extremely badly after a certain point.

The "Darkness/Light as fundamental elements" is mostly hooey and related to the Awoken, not the Exos.

The Final Shape is an all-out, all-species gently caress orgy in the city. One mass, one shape.

The story after the shape is the awkwardness because everyone totally thought they were all getting killed and whoops, nope, now it's business as usual but it's getting really difficult to ask Rahool for Prisms now.

If you can gently caress an exo then you can probably also gently caress telesto.

They're also like, human consciousness put into robots who need darkness juice or something so their minds don't reject their exo bodies. Having a body that roughly matches what you expect you should have is probably helpful/important to the transfer process?

Also you say that like people wouldn't excitedly opt in to having robot tits.

I find it kinda weird that the exo promptly freaked out once they found out they had four arms. I mean, at least give it a shot first. I bet the exo they gave a bigger dick to didn't immediately melt down as soon as they found out.

If I was gonna freak out about anything it'd be the fact that the faces don't look even remotely like a natural human face.

Reading the TWAB, I'm making several predictions:

Seraph rounds are going to be on new weapons next season, and lucent finisher is a returning seasonal mod. So next season is going to be Warmind vs Hive themed.

Airborne effectiveness is reworked to be way more effective on primary weapons, and heavy sniper rifles have buffed AE for some reason. So this is in preparation for Lightfall, where strand's Spiderman swinging and more vertically oriented level design are going to make midair gunfights much more common.

Kinda funny that we'll be getting a seasonal stasis sword (craftable, with enhanced perks), during the season that gives us the limited time Dawning stasis sword (with random rolls, no enhanced perks)

Humans are unique among primates, in that breasts are permanently enlarged and not just while in estrus. Exo chassis have to feel 'familiar' so it makes sense that some would have a rockin' set of jugs

Zenos would find a way to gain the Light just to punch you in the face with it.

FF14 crossover would be great, though. And I know it would never happen, but NIER crossover.

the people who didn't preorder will probably see the trailer when it drops, say "cool" and pay :10bux:

So like, all the stuff you used to buy with planetary materials is now going to cost none of those but more glimmer and/or legendary marks right, so if I have an exotic cypher and fuckloads of planetary mats, I may as well buy an exotic that seems cool and good before the new season? I already bought a bunch of ascendant shards but can't buy anymore cause cores are the bottleneck now and there's no way to just buy those.

I did finish out the season pass pretty easily in the end, finishing off the season story got me most of the way there and then I just did a few strikes to get Cry Mutiny and the challenge for getting that and that carried me through two levels to 101. Kinda wishing I hadn't bought the full year of Witch Queen back in Feb cause I will feel obligated to play this next season just to finish that season pass as well.

Honestly don't worry about playing it if you don't want to! Doing something for 20 hours just to make the most of $10 is really putting a poor price on the worth of your time if you aren't enjoying it.

I bounced hard off this season because pirates but I mostly did the stuff that was enjoyable. There is always a better gun coming along. FOMO in Destiny is an illusion.

True enough, just annoying since it's one of the few games I have enjoyed long term.
