This was ... eventful. There are approximately a million datapoints, and this time around I wound up commenting on them as I went, so you'll have to listen to me read them out loud if you want the whole discussion. Plus there's some cross-referencing of stuff. It's a VERY long stream, so I may have missed marking some of the conversation topics as I wandered around. So if you've got time, just follow me through the Bunker at like 2 hours in or so and stick with it. I tried to mark all the datapoints but there's lots of discussion after them. Lots of stuff. I feel like I get at least partial credit for piecing some of these things together, even if I'm still clinging to my pet theory of the ark/cradle of life. GodDAMN, though, this story got heavy. And intense. It's jarring hearing and seeing Elizabet since she's so much like Aloy.

Also, I AM streaming next week, I just keep getting my Tuesdays and Thursdays confused. I don't know why. Sorry!
