Nimbus is smart in the same way a husky is smart

They are INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT, they brought back on an entire golden age defense system on the fly with no help and figured out how to operate it, and I imagine that being a cloudstrider has HIGH pre-requisites. But they’re still a thembo. Why?

Because they use their intelligence to be stupider. better

Everytime they decide to be dumb it is an active choice

Nimbus lives by “fuck it we ball” and I respect that so much about them

This exchange was golden.

idek but this is the funniest bit of the entire story for me

[tacticalgrandma]

This bit keeps sticking with me, when it comes after the Witness's "We know pain. Our purpose is its end," which comes after Rohan's "Pain reminds us that we're alive, that we're still fighting." Lightfall starts off with the Witness being this unstoppable, untouchable force, that unmakes Ghosts and Guardians with a literal flick of its wrist. And then the rest of the expansion sets up why it just kind of sucks at what it's pretending to be.

Osiris defines the Light as being the physical, and doesn't just link the Darkness with the immaterial—he links it with thought, memory, emotion, soul. The Witness is a being of Darkness, and Darkness is the nature of being alive. Darkness is emotion, fear is Darkness, pain is Darkness. The Witness speaks and portrays itself as emotionless, above it all—but Calus makes it angry. Mara and Eramis see its sadistic wrath, turning Eramis's friends into Scorn in punishment. Rhulk's lore book shows it blatantly manipulating a deeply disturbed and unstable person, playing on his anger and pain. The Witness is not a deity, it is not a force of nature. It is a being of emotion that does not wish to be emotional, that sees emotion as weakness and vulnerability. It has all of existence at its fingertips and Calus is more creative, more imaginative than it, just because he lets himself want.

The Witness gave us Stasis, the element of control. It could not anticipate or defend against Strand. Calus, this narcissistic, hedonistic, failure hit on a weak point of the Witness. It can't accept, it has to control, and being alive means letting go sometimes. It is afraid of pain and failure and it sees that fear as failure. It fights the river.

My favorite part of the Root of Nightmares raid is the boss fight where you come across a random cabal just hanging out, minding his own business messing around in the Witness’s planet room, and Nezarec immediately starts going “Oh my god this guy sucks so hard. He’s literally the stupidest guy I’ve ever had the displeasure of being in the same solar system as. Please just kill him. He’s so lame it’s actually insulting that he’s even here.”
