Not only is this an incredible horror story, it's also a perfect depiction of why the nuclear semionics were kind of written off as any sort of usable warning system. There is a reason why the modern containment idea is just burry it and forget about it. Warning signs attract interest.

See you lads in 6 months 🫡

Regarding the bit from Age of Ultron, "The city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense." I think why that line works, where so many like it fall flat, is because it's not just a joke for the sake of a joke. Hawkeye is trying to comfort and motivate Wanda, using a bit of levity to get through her terror and regret. He's gonna do the best he can with the tools he has, because that's what you do as a hero, and he's encouraging her to do the same. It's not a turn-to-the-camera-and-wink lampshade moment; it's a moment of genuine emotion and connection.

You're a great writer, it makes an already very interesting setting even more compelling.

So I'm just at 29 minutes, and I'm pausing to comment now because this whole piece has just masterfully gone from "scientific curiousity" to "help it's night time and I don't want to go near the windows anymore". Absolute triumph, A+ prefer keeping my eyes in my head to see.

0:12 just realized that's the reported sound heard in the caverns

This was really good, I really enjoyed how it described the aliens and the overall sort of creepy tone. I would love more stuff in this vein.

I've yet to find someone who can outsmart bullet doctrine

I feel like we need the recovered logs of a lost expedition into a superdeep borehole. It could be a very spooky story...

Unexpected grimdark is welcome!

The societal collapse of the boreholes reminds me of the universe 25 experiments, given the fact that a: happened in stages, and b: happened to a seemingly prosperous civilization.

Holy shit I got that reference at the end

Wow, worldbuilding in another level... 38th parallel... like in Korea :)

Cool I prefer exposition to narrative

Top YT content, 100% professional Hard SciFi.

I prefer exposition to narrative This is cool (I hope Ai hasn't been used and if it hasn't you should make this clear)

I really loved this video. Great worldbuilding, great details. Until I got to the end...that ruined it for me. Nuclear semionics are a silly concept, so the "alien warning" sounds like a joke to me.

Late to watch but I just have to say I have no words This is genuinely, truly, one of the best worldbuilding videos I've seen and it just shows what vision and potential Dawn of Victory has as a setting. Despite everything else happening in the world right now, I couldn't be happier to be alive at the beginning of what I hope, and think, will be a truly great setting and universe. Give me more Templin, that's all I can say. This is amazing!

Love the work, can't get enough of 'em, keep 'em comin' !

This is awesome. I think the algorithm had recommended it to me before, I wish I had listened . But at least now I get to binge it.

“Jeez this dead civilization is rather spooky.” “They are warning us.” “What.”

“General Carter a second missile strike has hit the fleet in the Apollo Cluster.”

My only issue is the description of the Kudugalu’s traits. They had good protection due to their exoskeleton, powerful natural weaponry, and excellent senses. Why exactly did they evolve greater intelligence? It’s a bit of a sticking point for me that a lot of people don’t really understand how evolution works. Evolution isn’t an upgrade system, it’s all about adaptation and tradeoffs. Humans evolved intelligence because we were squishy, weak, and our senses were average. With increased intelligence, we became even weaker in many ways and some of our senses, like smell, atrophied. This occurred because they were no longer needed as much because our newfound intelligence more than made up for it. Humans aren’t MORE evolved than any other animal on Earth, we just evolved differently. With all the physical benefits they had, the Kudugalu had no need to evolve greater intelligence and don’t seem to have suffered from atrophy in any notable way.

Using our own ideas of hostile architecture to ward off future disoverers from our nuclear waste and transferring it to an alien species? I love it, and very haunting.

“What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.” Excellent warning for sealed evil in a can.

That message at the end is basically what we write on nuclear waste repositories. "This place is dangerous, but not in a way you can use against your enemies. Do not dig it up. There is no honor or treasure here, only death of the body." We write that in multiple languages and with images.

Just goes to show that for all the amazing discoveries made to the name of curiosity and/or profit some things are meant to be left buried.

i like the woman fresenters voice.

dose hell freze over. lol

The spike field immediately gave me the idea of Semiotics.

The link to the discord expired, anyone have an updated one?

holy shit those ruins are a planet size system of mines, uranium enrichment plants and nuclear waste disposal

You really think America will ne the dominant power in over 200 years?

Generally speaking I like my aliens to be very 'alien', but I love basically narratively weaponising the intrinsic spookiness of nuclear waste warnings - something with an almost unmatched unsettling aura that doesn't really ever see much use in fiction, whilst boosting that above and beyond with a menacing mysterious alien backstory. It fits in just so perfectly with the overall tone of the setting. More pls.
