Because this video centers around the idea of overcoming apathy through the connections we forge with others, I feel it's only fair to dedicate this video to the person who helped me make it.

If you look at the large gaps of time between my uploads, it's safe to assume I haven't always been the most motivated. While I enjoy making videos, it can be incredibly time-consuming, tedious and demoralizing at times.

I had always worked on my videos alone,  and because I lacked outsider perspective, I strived to make them absolutely perfect, and if they were anything less, they were garbage that wasn't worth the effort.

Being an incredibly small channel with less than 300 subscribers, you might think this is an incredibly strong overreaction. And you'd be right, but I couldn't change the way I thought.

Eventually, the stresses of life combined with my perfectionist mindset became too much, and I abandoned most of my projects and hobbies. Slowly, I started to become used to the emptiness of not pursuing any personal passion or goal, and drifted through most of my days on complete autopilot.

I was beyond lucky enough to stumble into someone who, without even trying, showed so much care and interest to my passions, my hobbies, my interests, the things that make me, me

You've probably noticed that the commentary in the last third of this video is much more profound and elegant, which is a direct result of their help. In fact, if it wasn't for the influence this person has had on my life, I might not have related to the themes in 1999 at all, and this video wouldn't exist.

So I want to thank you, for pulling me out of my own cycle of apathy, for motivating me to make my silly little videos, and for making the effort to see every part of me, even the parts I was so dedicated to hiding.

Thank you for healing things in me, you didn't even know needed to be healed.

Warframe teaches me on overcoming fear, anger and apathy but my laziness is the true man in the wall

"None of this matters."
"Then why are you trying so hard to stop me?"
This exchange gave me a little mini-epiphany: If indifference needs to be spoken or expressed, it's no longer indifference.

Even the scene at the end of the Finale shows us exactly who the Hex are. Quincy sticks around on the sideline because despite the strife between him and Arthur, he does owe him one, and he does care. Aoi is obviously still concerned both because he is her ex and also just because that's one of their own. Amir seems slightly aloof but is definitely still concerned. His looking around shows his anxiety. Lettie, of course, is the medic. Rushing in to save someone in need. But Eleanor? Eleanor is walking slowly, away from the group. Because she feels her condition has driven a wedge between her and the rest of the Hex.

1:48 i love that half of these rapid fire questions can be chalked up to "Because Ballas".

Albrecht's only way of describing what wally is is that, something indifferent to the world, with no "care", that "feed" on our emotions and turn that agaisnt us. The power of love is thus not actually a dumb weapon, it's an actual poison to something like that. Loving something is caring about it, it's a stabilizing force, alike a beacon in the dark, something that protect us from the entropic emotional devastation that wally use to turn us into food. Strong bonds tame the void itself.

So yeah, getting pegged by Eleanor does hurt wally, as while the railing itself is actually not important, the reason why you are getting your back end absolutly anihilated and turned into a quivering mess by Eleanor IS important.

Aoi not moding for enough power strength GENUINELY fucks me up LMAO

19:50 Albrecht's arc up until now has truly embodied the Nietzsche quote:
“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”
The Indifference, or more specifically the man in the wall, is the conceptual embodiment of the abyss that stares back at us. And in order to fight that entity, Albrecht became a monster. He knows this and wants us to avoid the same fate as him.

Albrecht is the dad that left to go get milk and cigarettes, and now he’s back with tickets to Disney world.

14:20 Rebecca calling out her millions of registered losers for their lack of game hits harder than Albert's Lex Prime ngl

15:47 "my indifference... GET IT?"
No wonder why Albrecht just shot you with his Lex Prime...

I really like how old man yaoi is the lynchpin for saving the universe in Warframe

Dont forget the mini quest with the stalker and jade, quite literally forshadowing that love was gonna be a big plot point.

So uh the reason that we let the reactor explode is because the murmur is weak to radiation

Both in game and in lore

Glad to see the writing in the KIM messenger getting more appreciation rather than just being written of as a dating sim. As someone who is used to and enjoys fragmented storytelling style like that in From Software's games, Fate/Grand Order etc., I really loved what they DE did here. I'd add that its not just fleshing out the Hex and conveniently dumping lore; it also gives more character to the Drifter in a meaningful way. We see a lot of emotions from the Drifter based on how they interact with the Hex as well as their feelings regarding certain stuff like how they view the Operator or Dominus Thrax.

I haven't reached Pizza Party rank yet but its been amazing so far. Arthur wanting to teach the Drifter how to cook took me offguard ngl but it was nice to see him open up.

The greatest weapon against indifference is love. Because the opposite of love... Is indifference. Not hate. Not disgust.

Indifference.

Love, is an overwhelming cocktail of emotion. There's care, sadness, compassion, unity, desire... indifference, is an emotional void. Indifference is what you get when emotion dies.

One thing i do find interesting is how Entrati chose the Drifter specifically. Not the operator. Since the operator would know the feeling of letting others in, to help others, to show compassion and empathy. More than the Drifter who was, as you said, jaded and apathetic due to their time in Duviri. It really goes to show how different the life of the tenno has changed based on whether they and the children of the Zariman were found, or were just left to die in the void.

7:31 because he WANTS you too, the other Scaldra  were collateral, just bodies in the way, but her he specifically ASKS You to do it. It's all about the intent behind the action.

9:47 one of the coolest things that happened in warframe thus far, was hyped asf when drifter did this.
BEGIN. AGAIN.

also i 100% agree with the Kin messaging thing. i didnt want to be a degenerate and talk to the hex just to romance them, i talked to them as myself and worked way better getting to know them

i damn near teared up talking to quincy and amir about how amir was struggling with having to kill people and got amir to talk to arthur and quince about it and how he’s been struggling with it. if youre military you know what im talking about.

amazing writing from DE.

8:58 Aoi dying by brain aneurysm is insane I was not expecting that during my play through
