That warning about the dangers and the place being repulsive is the written form of the so called "long term nuclear waste warning messages", a concept of how the dangers of a nuclear waste storage location could be communicated to humans in the far future even in case that the original knowledge about that site, understanding of the nuclear danger symbol and even knowledge of the English language got lost.
Oh wow, just learnt about this concept thanks to you, it's such a peculiar thing. And it's so interesting how this concept intertwines with the whole image of The Flesh under Leng (the mine location), even innately making one think of the purpose of the message in real world and correlate it to the location, even if not involving the same object of warning. Having that clear connection in mind, one has to wonder if the reason for the place's existence, as well as the entire infection lies in the Nation's sins, so to say, with this original message's "This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here..." line, among others, in mind. Thank you for sharing such an interesting thing.
Hey Librarian! Just a tip about the Repair-Spray+, it only heals a *medium* amount of health instantly. The normal Repair-Spray (the orange one) heals a *large* amount of health over a small period of time. The Repair-Spray+ is useful during active combat where you can't be sure that you'll be able to escape without being hit again, but when you're healing outside of combat you should use the normal Repair-Spray. Outside of combat you can afford to use the normal Repair-Spray, and it'll heal you more than the Repair-Spray+. I'm just writing this because you seemed to think the Repair-Spray+ is always better, when in fact it's worse than a regular Repair-Spray! Think about the resources it takes to make it, you use a large and a small to create just a medium amount of health! Again its advantage is that it instantly heals, so if you're in combat and worried about being low health, use it! But when you're healing in the safe room or in a location temporarily free of enemies, use the regular Repair-Spray! Also just gonna talk about the autoinjector briefly since it may be useful. You can use it at any point to heal *all* of your health. However, if it is equipped and it automatically prevents you from dying, it will only heal you a bit instead of all the way. It can be considered a better version of the Repair-Spray+, so sometimes it may be better to take an autoinjector than a Repair-Spray+ if you think you'll need massive heals in the middle of a fight.

I genuinely really appreciate how you play these games. You’re slow. You’re analytical. You’re reflective. It’s such a breath of fresh air when it feels like so many commentators on the platform have insight equivalent to just talking things out to a wall. Keep up what you’re doing. And if you’d like a suggestion, Shipwrecked 64 is a very interesting game to me at the moment, essentially a playable ARG masquerading as a lost N64 game

Feel like the higher ups screwed up badly with that ship's crew. Ariane is not meant to interact or befriend Elster... when she's the closest thing to a person on that ship and the only other person on the ship.
Various observations... 12:24 The X shapes on the floor resemble those on the Plate of Eternity, so they're probably full of living flesh of the kind that seems to be growing from the infected Replikas and that was pulsing like a giant lung in a room on a floor above. (And, of course, that is growing all over the lowest part of the mines) 12:47 This is the hole Adler fell down after Isa stabbed him in the eye. I assume it's his blood on ground 14:19 Except for the lines about "a sea of flesh," the verses along the beach are all from "Cordelia's Song" in The King in Yellow, another implication that some kind of King in Yellow situation is going on. I think the connection is most likely the idea of people starting to occupy the roles of other people, as characters in "The Repairer of Reputations" (the original King in Yellow story) begin to replace their identities with the roles of characters in the play 20:57 Most of this is a famous proposed text to warn future societies away from radioactive waste dump sites, except for the final line about killing something to open a path. I'm not sure what that might mean in this context. Is this planet somehow a far-future Earth, and they've dug into a radioactive waste dump site? Is this more hallucination dream stuff? 23:00 There is a wall of screens showing what look like red eyes. Note that Adler began losing track of reality (and seeing the white-haired woman, Ariane) after he went through the gate at the bottom of the mines and saw a red eye 46:11 This scary slab duplicates the position of the cryo-freeze pod on the Penrose spaceship at the beginning 46:48 The red eye is also in this journal, as is the Penrose triangle (another major motif) Obviously, the lower mines, with the irrational layout, rusty grating, darkness, and blood and flesh, is based on Nowhere from Silent Hill. And is even called Nowhere. And the music and weird multi-armed cage monster are also unsubtle Silent Hill imitations...
The line about killing something to open a path is in regards to the boss that you find assaulting Isa when you jump into the flesh pit. Once you kill it, the note is replaced by the door where you find the smelling salts you wake her up with.
This game just feels like the combination of a zombie apocalypse and robots. Not to mention the vague violet evergarden vibes of remembering a past life. There’s such a genuine horror in the way the disease targets the robots, how they’re just human enough to get infected, but unable to die or heal. Fun fact: 12:50 that’s the hole that Adler got shoved down into
I adored the story sequence you came across first... Bahah you realizing you needed to use the smelling salts after the fact aha. But, this is so interesting. It's just a loop-- and yet when you started again and things were different?? There's so much to this!!
Do not befriend the Elster Unit ! Its an intellectual pleasure to watch your lets plays! Did you ever play Dear Esther? Check it out if not, its a great pie e of art to think about for a long time, just like Signalis is.
So the song itself is public domain, but individual recordings might not be. It means doing your own version is fine, but using another musician's recording can get claimed. Also the song might have been claimed unfairly anyway, because youtube sucks.
@@TehCakeIzALie1here's the thing... the part that was claimed didn't even HAVE a song in it. It was literally just a radio spitting out numbers. I went and rewatched the cutscene myself again to confirm - there is no music in that segment.
After putting all the dolls together I just realize it looks like a Mynah, I also realize that what hurt Elster in that one room was wires you need the light for Also pausing at 1:11:40 I think I see something interesting
[SPOILERS] If Librarian would've read the classified note on the Penrose, we would've learned that Elster's original neural patterns are based off of a soldier from Vineta, and what we see there are most likely flashes of Elster's memories of her human/Gestalt self experiencing the war.
bro, i need some NEW video of game with liminal spaces with art, nice lighting, poolrooms etc. its better to be in vr some map on hl alyx or boneworks. also i can't wait to see you playing Dreamcore Demo

That’s cool
I'm so mad he didn't open the envelope. That was like the most crucial lore information that you can get in the game!
What does it say?
@@mfknbumblebee You can Google it. I don't really remember it word for word.
@@mfknbumblebee the original mission they were sent on was actually a suicide mission. they were left to die in space with no way home
So wake up, Miss Elster... Wake up, and... smell the rust...
Its just very disheartening to know that so many have died down here , but the bright side of those failures is we learned how the flare gun works.
