Cloudstrider Monuments

Okay, i was gonna write this a while ago but never did. So, my boyfriend and I were hanging out in the Hall of Heroes after we finished the Strider exotic quest. My bf realized it there seemed to be way too many monuments around the room, considering the few things we knew off hand:

The collapse was 1600 years ago. We know this tidbit from Petra Venj. In the lore entry "Refusal" from Forsaken, there is this line: "She [Petra] bites back the rest: how she wishes that back in two-thousand-and-whatever, when the Darkness hurled mankind off the height of its Golden Age to plummet sixteen centuries into barbarism, it had done just a slightly better job." So we know that Neomuna have been around for approximately 1600 years.

Cloudstriders live 10 years, due to the augmentations they go through.

There are only ever two cloudstriders at once.

Alright, with this knowledge, we decided to count up all the monuments in the room and around it, which gave us 480 monuments. This number might not be entirely accurate, but it gives us a good estimate. Now let's divide this by two (since there are two cloudstriders at once) and we are down to 240. If this is multiplied by 10 (for the max amount of years a cloudstrider could live) we get 2400 years.

2400 years of Cloudstriders. Now, obviously this doesn't take into account that cloudstriders can die on duty (like Rohan), but it seems that the Neomuni live in relative peace besides occasionally dealing with the Vex. This also doesn't take into account the early days of Neomuna. We don't know how many cloudstriders there are at once originally, but it seems like there have never been many. We also don't really know how new/old of a concept cloudstriders are. Was Strider, the first cloudstrider, around 1600 years ago or more recently? So yeah, if we think cloudstriders have been around for 1600 years and you minus 1600 from 2400, that's still a good 800 years. It seems weird that there would be that many Cloudstriders. But who knows.

Honestly, my bf and I probably just over analyzed the Hall of Heroes after we got done roasting Quinn for being a bad archivist and having none of this important archival material to Neomuna's history backed up. So take this all with a grain of salt. Except for the 1600 years detail. I think a lot of people don't realize that D2 takes place in at least 3600 CE (and it's probably a lot later than that cause of we don't know how long the golden age was).

I just genuinely wanna know, what parts and armor pieces can Nimbus take off, like does the helmet retract, can you take of the boots and the waist pieces, like this isn't for nsfw purposes, I'm just genuinely curious

Like cloudstriders still have to sleep and eat and all the other bodily stuff, so they have to be able to take off most things, but like what's meshed to skin and what's not!?

Things bungie will never tell us 😔

Music and Gaming in Destiny 2: Lightfall

In the realm of video games, the fusion of music and gameplay creates an immersive experience that transcends mere entertainment. Bungie’s Destiny 2: Lightfall stands as a testament to this artistic synergy, where the soundtrack not only complements the action but elevates the narrative to new heights. Let’s delve into the intricate dance between music and gaming in Destiny 2: Lightfall,…

"I know [Osiris] feels guilt when he tells me that he stopped looking for me. But I am proud of him. He felt such sadness, and shame, for losing me. But he did not use those feelings to harm others."

Saint, I love you, but your boyfriend built a time machine that scared even the Drifter, and we're dealing with the reverberations of that up until now. Just because Osiris wasn't as obsessed as Maya for that particular venture* doesn't mean his feelings "didn't harm others," my guy.

*Osiris was just as obsessive as fellow Vex enthusiasts like Clovis and Maya and Asher, let's be real. Something about the Vex attracts obsessive personalities. 🤐

okay so I really really hate to say this but

I hate Nimbus’s voice

as a sound designer and audio editor by trade, as well as just a consumer of the franchise, I can’t stand it. That pitch-shifting effect they have on the voice is so bad, the formants are destroyed and it almost sounds like the pitch shifter is getting caught up on itself, causing this horrible warble that both make them hard to understand and unpleasant to listen to

“Oh, but Miri, they’re young! They chose this on purpose because they like it!” Oh yeah? Then give me a voice actor who can sell that!! Give me someone who can sell the cocky idiot who is brand new in the world! I work with dozens of voice actors per month, and I know a ton who could pull that off better than Nimbus’s current voice actor. And that’s the thing! I don’t even think their voice actor did a bad job! I just think that whatever effects were put on their voice and whatever charisma their actor brought to the table entirely canceled eachother out, so instead of a fast-talking, snarky, hot-headed rookie, we just get this fucking goober who can’t be understood unless you’re reading the subtitles.

Happy STS! If you could swap places with any one character, who would you choose? Why? And what would they think about the swap?

Thank you for the ask!

I would probably swap with Eva Cloudstrider, because it’d be cool to be able to travel time and space. She’d think life on Earth would be pretty boring (and probably weird).
