I've Done This Countless Times - Let's Play SIGNALIS Blind Part 6

Known ARAR model issue: they live in your walls. Issue mitigation: just let them live in your walls.

[@ahcangela8549]

7:34 Putting the dorm for the irritable bullies right next to the dorm for the noisy teenage girls was probably a bad idea lol

[@NoerLuin]

We have learned so much by now, i get the urge to rewatch the first couple of episodes.

[@ГуглГовно-м7н]

The "iconic" version of Elster is not our Elster, but a "heavy combat" configuration, with white-and-blue armor. Is the orange chestpiece a civilian configuration thing? None of the corpses in the elevator looked like they had white-and-blue armor on. You'd think that the "heavy combat" version just wasn't used at S-23 - but the orange chestpiece version wasn't used there either. Nonetheless, here it is - and there's an entire elevator shaft worth of it. Which our Elster seemingly refuses to acknowledge. Also, all modern production Elster units had to have their "neural pattern" copied from a single Penrose Program unit because they lost the original. Was that the "LSTR-512" we saw in the ship at the beginning of the game? Have we gone to playing as a copy of it now?

[@Seriously_Unserious]

the dates going 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C - that would be Hexadecimal. Hex is a base 16 numbering system often used in computers because you can fit all 254 characters from the Ascii character system into 2 Hexadecimal digits. Hex uses the letters A, B, C, D, E and F to represent the extra 6 digits of the numbering system.

[@sunkeyavad6528]

1:01:40 Sounds like Adler is just killing everybody who comes in from the outside. Which in the case of elsters just happens to be many. Still, you gotta give him some credit. He's holding down the fort pretty much alone fairly well. Just look at that kill count on elevator elsters alone.

[@ГуглГовно-м7н]

So, not a single Elster unit was supposed to be on S-23 at all, according to both Adler and a Kolibri. And yet, Adler remembered one being there. I think Alina's diary mentioned an Elster unit being there too, so he wasn't the only one. That was why Adler had the LSTR databrief - he was trying to figure out what was going on. And later, we find both ourselves and an entire elevator shaft worth of dead Elsters at S-23. It's really weird too. Kolibri's entry says that she learned about an impossible LSTR at S-23 by peering directly into Adler's mind - and explicitly says that there was NOTHING about that in Adler's diary. Later, we find Adler wondering about a strange Replika - in his diary. His second diary is much weirder still. It's all dated to the same day, but the circumstances change page to page. Two of the entries have him meeting Commander in person. One has him lamenting the loss of Commander instead. Is this the "corruption" Adler was writing about?

[@sunkeyavad6528]

32:25 These 2 storches are becoming your best friends, right? They must be, given how much time you spend together. 1:00:35 "Goodbye, best friends."

[@sunkeyavad6528]

41:35 Maybe that's why they make those illusions? Create the illusion of a group for themselves?

[@ahcangela8549]

I think there was more stuff to see in those mines before the save room, It's probably worth looking around.

[@Roma-tz9vg]

Music that is playing in piano room is "Moonlight Sonata" if you wonder.

[@-splithappens-]

The music playing from the owl songs tape at 11:20 and later again is from Swan Lake. Of course they picked a famous piece named after a bird. :D The stuff I was able to read on the glitchy screen starting ~ 20:09 (Edit: should have translated everything "important" now!): "Und ich sah, das sechste Siegel brach und die Erde bebte und die Sonne wurde schwarz und der Mond wie Blut und die Sterne fielen vom Himmel" = "And I saw, the sixth seal broke and the earth was quaking and the sun turned black and the moon to blood and the stars fell from the sky" - Hard to 100% make out behind the glitchiness Then again what I translated last time about "the darkness behind the stars" and "the face of a god" and all that. But it ends with "I had become one with the void where life and death are meaningless". Then stuff that was SO hard to fully translate around 20:17 because of the giant-ass "STIRB" ("die"): "Seltsam ist die Nacht, wo dunkle Sterne aufgehen, und seltsame Monde durch den Himmel kreisen. Lieder, welche die Hyaden singen sollen, wo die Lumpen des Königs wehen, müssen ungehört sterben. Lied meiner Seele, meine Stimme ist tot; Stirb du, ungesungen, wie Tränen ungeweint trocknen und sterben sollen." = "Strange is the night where dark stars rise and strange moons circle the sky. Songs which shall be sung by the Hyades [a pile of stars in the constellation of Taurus], where the rags of the king flaunt, must die unheard. Song of my soul, my voice is dead; Die unsung, like tears uncried shall dry and die" (this is hell to translate while trying to hit the occult, almost lovecraftian tone lol - I know it sounds like I translated it very weirdly but it's just as weird in german, so I tried to keep it that way) Everything else: 39:32 - schwer / schwere = heavy Schnäpper is apparently some kind of sparrow 57:58 - Einhorn = unicorn (it's the revolver's name) Chapter 2: 1:01:17 - Kapitel = chapter Liminalität = liminality 1:01:49 - Zyklus = cycle 1:04:16 - Leuchtpistole just means flare gun (literally: glow pistol) That's all! Edit: added timestamps!

[@naoxmon]

Thanks for the translations, it's really helpful to finally understand these!

[@-splithappens-]

@@naoxmon You're welcome! It's actually quite fun, too and it helps me stay focused. :)

[@AES_THETIC]

the excerpts you mention from 20:17 are from Cassilda's Song, or at least an interpretation of it. Cassilda's song is from The King in Yellow, and we see other references to it/Carcosa (though with the name carcosa redacted in all cases) during the beach scenes as well! here's it's "official" version in english: Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa. Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies But stranger still is Lost Carcosa. Songs that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap the tatters of the King, Must die unheard in Dim Carcosa. Song of my soul, my voice is dead; Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa.

[@ThreeKes]

Only 2 little things to translate this time: 1:01:18 Chapter 2 Liminality (you might have guessed so already dear reader) and 1:01:49 Cycle. (Edit: Did I say two things? Whoops, cause:) Oh and i didn't notice before, but the long text when it says "Stirb" and all that goes on a little more. (20:53). I'm gonna copy Split Happens' translation and add the rest to it. That comment was at Part 5. Thanks RothSchatten for pointing out there's even more! They said "would you kindly", so all you Bioshock fans know what I have to do (gladly!). The text is actually displayed first, so I'll put it at the beginning. Anyway, here goes: ----------- Strange are the nights when dark stars rise and dark moons spin around the sky. Songs to be sung by the Hyades, where the king's tatters blow, must die unheard. Song of my soul, my voice is dead; Die thou, unsung, like tears are meant to dry unwept. Beyond the sun, in the darkness behind the stars I saw the face of a god. A form and color words cannot describe. I saw the six sides of the world unfold and the light devoured me. I had become one with the void where life and death are meaningless. And I saw The sixth seal break. And the earth shook. And the sun turned to black. And the moon to blood. And the stars fell from the sky. ----------- During the whole thing you can also see the white line indicating the censored term from earlier in the game. The mine is another long one, but I hope you all continue watching cause what happens afterwards is among my favorite moments in any game! Edit 2: Ok, last edit! You're really good at reading text out loud Welonz. Great job on Adler's Diary. And thanks for mentioning Revue Starlight in the other video. I'm 5 episodes in and like it a lot, especially the theater parts. Learning Japanese really pays off during these, cause the text is just brilliant.

[@RothSchatten]

There's more text at bottom right, something like "song of ??? // where ??? of kings must die unheard // song of my soul, my voice is dead" Would you kindly translate it too?

[@ThreeKes]

@@RothSchatten Thanks! I edited my original comment. Some things of note: 1. At one point there's "Stirb du" (die you), this is not common at all and feels like something out of poetry so I added skakespearean language to reflect that. 2. Hyades is one of the best-studied star clusters. 3. I'm pretty confident that the semicolon isn't its linguistic, but its programming use that indicates the end of an instruction, which makes sense given the setting.

[@Morouder1]

I'll add my 2 cents. The first part (the one that mentions Hyades) looks to be a part of the poem "Cassilda's Song", from "The King In Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers. Strangely though, it misses some parts, specifically, the name of the city that this poem seems to be about - "Lost Carcossa". The second part ("Beyond the sun...") reminds me a lot about "The Colour Out of Space" by Lovecraft, but I was unable to find any direct confirmation.

[@knowledgeacquirer2931]

I hope this isn't too late Welonz, but there's quite a bit you haven't interacted with leading up to that mine save room.

[@naoxmon]

It could be too late, or maybe Welonz actually turned back to check, but in case yes all the different tunnels in the mines are worth exploring before going further down.

[@sunkeyavad6528]

49:55 Not quite. Remember that first injured Star unit that you encountered in the beginning? They were leaving. Seemingly successfully so. 51:00-51:25 I think we've just learned what Welonz' luck stat is. 55:20 There's still quite a few grey doors that haven't been checked. I think I saw like 5 or so. 4 all together, 1 on its own.

[@ComfyCherry]

as for her "luck" ther relative positions of the planets never changed if she took a different shot then shed just have to rotate it

[@ParaRush]

Found you because of your "The Red Strings Club" Playthrough and recently discovered that we share the same taste of games: Story-driven. I've decided to stay here for a while :)

[@naoxmon]

Something I noticed while watching your playthrough, compared to mine, is that a lot of (if not all) the documents and posters can be at different places. Globally they're in the same general area but you'll find them at another place inside the same room, or in a different room entirely, that's really cool! Like the cleaning "shower" room where you kept avoiding the 3 infected replikas, for me the "Star" document was right where they are so I really had to kill them to get it.

[@andreya3950]

Love the insightful commentary, even though I have finished the game recently. Preordered the disc right after. Truly a masterpiece.

[@exiledium360]

so much lore to process and remember, but it's all fascinating

[@sunkeyavad6528]

7:35 Wasn't there some file about somebody complaining about the eule music and threatening to smash the player? I guess they kept their word. 16:55 That seems like a critical piece of information. Elster units were NEVER deployed to this facility. That means that entire elevator shaft full of them is all ones that came from the outside, like the one you're controlling. Why do so many of that model keep coming here? 37:10 3 with 1 shot. Very impressive. Again, should you ever play Resident Evil 1 make sure to play at the highest difficulty. You're playstyle is exactly right for that.

[@thekidfromcanada]

It's always great to watch someone clever who has a great memory. :) Thanks Welonz.

[@RothSchatten]

18:05 Simon says: "A copy?!" 23:04 55:38 So far, the most notable flaw of the game: the need to dance around interactive objects 43:18 "Protektor book storage with secured library (access) system" 45:20 You've probably noticed it when editing: there was a sound of compressed air, like in pneumatic mail system (I doubt it's good for book covers)

[@teymourelattar3402]

That screenshot accuracy was so incredible ! 😄 Thank you for today's episode !

[@sunkeyavad6528]

30:20 Looks like they're using a higher than base-10 number system. Those usually continue with A for 10, B for 11, etc. I believe Lotus also taught you this in 999. May she yell at you in your dreams tonight for forgetting her lessons.

[@Tancred85]

Given that this ‘Eusan’ nation appears to be mostly organised around robotic labour and that the origin of robots in science fiction is as servants/workers I don’t think robot is necessarily the wrong word to describe the EULR etc. But if you wanted something different then, there’s always android, which seems appropriate as the lore specifically picks up on human like behaviour :)

[@Roma-tz9vg]

And music on the tape is "Swan Lake". Looks like robots like classical music.

[@F0X5M41LM4N]

Do hope you still went back to check on the mines. There's not much there, but the little bit that is there, you might enjoy finding.

[@teymourelattar3402]

I last heard "Swan's Lake" Finale ages ago, when I would try to focus for a test on my way to school. I had to stop watching after you opened the Owl Box with it to take a moment and listen to it. (It's not the FInale but it still sparked the memory somehow) "I remember Akhmatova's hands, of their light." Christian Bobin "Steige ich, so steig ich hoch Falle ich, so fall ich ganz." Ingeborg Bachmann (If I rise up, I rise absolutely If I fall, I fall completely)

[@ratfuk9340]

47:14 Some moves you have, damn

[@bobokitty123]

EULRs got good taste in music uwu

[@naoxmon]

33:23 when playing it I noticed that at the top right corner there's two 0521 post boxes when one should be 0520. And with the way the story is going, I can't even tell if it's a mistake or intentional with some meaning behind it :D

[@sunkeyavad6528]

39:35 If it was non-violent that personality probably melted off right with its face when you entered the room. Which is interesting by the way. Did your presence trigger that? Given how Adler appeared immediately after you took it down, that seemed to have been Adlers still healthy guard, that then just instantly died when you came near it. Given the fact that it already had a gun it probably was the combat version. (Unless that was just a mining laser)

[@thekidfromcanada]

Can we get a recap/reflection of the things for far or before the finale? Would love to know your thoughts.

[@jeevesbond]

So, Kolibris persona is based on Alex Chen's neural pattern? 40:10

[@josef-ralfdwerlkotte8333]

[@milmilteachercloud4183]

hi i love your content ! it's not in link with this game but i think you should play shady part of me it's a really nice indie puzzle game with a significative story :D

[@sonofhades57]

So are the Owl Songs just an Owl City mix?

[@craftworded]

Replikas are biomechanical
