You guys should get to the terrible names thread and prepare thyselves.



I wanna feed all of these into one of those Markov Chain Generators and see if we can predict the choices for the next kid.

In 2015, Stanford computer science PhD candidate Andrej Karpathy decided to test out some neural network tools he'd been experimenting with, and set them to generating plausible baby names.

"Dad, how did I get my name?"
"Well honey, you know how sometimes a couple wanted a boy but they had a girl, so they give her a boy's name but just spelled oddly?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, Handi, a similar thing happened with you."

Pahanin was a hunter who was in the original Vault of Glass raid team and the only survivor. He created the exotic machine gun Super Good Advice with a golden age AI core so he would never be alone, and was an acclaimed travel writer and cephalopod enthusiast.

"Your missions: protect the City. Look better than Warlocks. But don't look like you're trying"

HEY IS IT TIME FOR SOME VAULT OF GLASS LORE? NO? TOO loving BAD. HERE WE GO.

Pahanin is the only reason we had a clue about what to do in the Vault, but he only learned that because Kabr drank of the Oracles. Praedyth pretty much got deleted from our timeline and shunted into a Vex prison until they let him out after a bazillion years in the Taken King to send out a call for help to the guardians to get the Taken out of the Vault. Then we found his skeleton. Poor Praedyth.

They all got started when Kabr, a Titan, decided that the threat of the Vault of Glass was too dangerous to the city and decided to do something about it. He gathered a fireteam of himself, Pahanin and Praedyth, and they broke into the vault and promptly got their poo poo wrecked. Ultimately Praedyth got captured by the Vex and kept prisoner for pretty much all of time, while outside of it. Oh, and they deleted him from the timeline, too. Not totally well, albeit that might be because guardians did break the vault. Kabr drank of one of the oracles of the Vault and said it tasted of the sea, he told Pahanin to run and escape and tell the Vanguard of what happened while he fought to the death and ultimately got corrupted by the radiolaria he drank. Kabr also made the Aegis, a shield made of thinking Vex construct and light, a relic which enabled guardians to utilize the paracasaul nature of the light in the vault and basically prevent themselves from going to way of Praedyth.

See, in the Vault the Vex have total control. Literally, they can do whatever the gently caress they want. The oracles and gorgons are ontological weapons. They can believe whatever the gently caress want and make it so, possessing the power to delete stuff from our entire existence. Not merely destroy, but unmake, totally delete, and remove from the timeline. The Oracles job is to scan the timelines ahead of them, identify the ones that favor the vex and delete the ones that don't. This was the Templar's job, finding that which fit the pattern and cutting away from the fabric of reality that which didn't. Ultimately this too was controlled by Aetheon, Time's Conflux. Aetheon was the needle which guided the pattern of the Vex through the fabric reality, stitching together the timelines that favored the Vex.

Of course, the Vex can't handle the Light too well. Oh, sure they can blast guardians with space lasers and poo poo, but they actually can't simulate the Light, which means they can't plan or adapt or delete timelines on us so easily. Because they can't tell what we're going to do in response to what they do. They can't plan for fighting us the way they can the Cabal (and boy oh boy if Ghaul didn't come to gently caress the Cabal Legions on mars sideways the Vex were pretty much one sidedly winning a war of attrition against them), the Cabal on mars were getting pretty royally hosed by the Vex and their only saving grace is that the Vex weren't actively trying to kill the Cabal off the planet.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, light in the vault. Since Kabr had managed to puncture the vault with the Aegis, the light was able to slip in, not merely protecting us against Aetheon and his will, but rather, enabling us to change our fate. Aetheon would grab half of your fireteam, and throw out of their timeline into another one, one which would quickly populate with oracles to delete you, as your vision faded as you were separated from your light. The aegis was able to funnel light to us, however, letting us stave off the encroaching dark and letting us destroy the oracles, and return to our fireteam to shoot Aetheon in the head repeatedly or throw grenades at him until he walked off the edge of his platform. Guardians make their own fate. Aetheon shunted off guardians into a timeline that was there solely for them to die in, and yet, we survived. Because of our light.

Of course if we did die in the vault, that might give the Cephalopods a fighting chance.

This somewhat drunken lore ramble brought to you by "Pahanin had the best flavor text in Destiny 1" and "Boy how much coquito did i drink already?"

Vex rhymes with sex which is funny because one is present in all possible timelines and the other is absent from all your possible timelines

I would totally name my kid Titan then be massively ashamed of him when he grows up to be a short skinny nerd just like his old man.

Thanks for the horrible name picture(s). If anyone remembers or comes across the additional Aborshynn-type names, too, please post 'em.

(This is all because a teacher, Kim, at my kid's school had her third kid, Kamden, after Kylan (whom I call Krylon) and Kinsleigh. Her name choices are not improving with time.)

The other problem with naming a kid Titan is that they can never have a nickname. What are you going to call them for short? Tit? Tite?

That is the dead-eyed stare of someone who has had their life's dreams replaced with being a stepford wife, and is probably going to wind up unapologetically murdering their husband in cold blood over some petty reason.
