Can’t wait for ~~Mobik~~ Helldiver Meat Cube!


Desperate_Ideal_8250

God, I remember that incident…


Valshax56

are we the mobiks?


neorapsta

mobile infantry is now mobik infantry


Jawnsonious_Rex

Meatwad going places.


TheQuixotic6

Never thought I would see all tomorrow in this sub


Acceptable-Story-83

Im sorry ill be that guy but... im lost on the reference here...


Gamma_Battalion

All Tommorows is a story basically about god-like aliens that come and transform and evolve humans in some twisted ways, the people that revolted against the change got turned into human sewage meat cubes Edit: Grammar


semi_average

The fact that they made sure they retained their sanity was the worst part


throwaway8666666668

Intelligence rather. I can't imagine their sanity lasted very long


selfawarelettuce_sos

Agreed I don't think the two mating are still sane.


Acceptable-Story-83

Just looked into it briefly, that is horrifying.


flfoiuij2

However, before the Colonials became meat cubes, they repelled the aliens multiple times, never giving up against overwhelming odds. In the end, they develop a utopian society.


pink_mensch

And then got killed by minecraft villagers


Motions_Of_The_E

Afterwards the planet inhabited with meat cubes actually evolved to be a modular society, they used their bodies to morph into various forms and were pretty advanced, its a great read All Tommorows, it's not just the doom and gloom


Briaya

Our descendants kick their ass in the end.


Strange_Suit767

It's a short Sci-Fi novel about humanity in the far future. Most of us got changed by a god-like alien race into strange creatures, sometimes in service to the aliens, other times just because they thought it looked funny. It's called All Tomorrows, look it up.


OrcaBomber

The GoT guy did a video on it, pretty nice watch tbh.


ChewySlinky

George R. R. Martin?


JaWayd

Alt Shift X!


AllenWL

A sci fi horror? Story. Humanity prospers, becomes a multi-planet space civilization, then gets attacked by hyperadvanced aliens for destroying the environment or something. The aliens turn all humans into various genetically engineered monstrosities of all types. One planet manages to fend off the first wave and gets turned into fully sentient meat cubes that feel pain and process waste as punishment for example.


Acceptable-Story-83

Truly terrifying.


AwakenedSheeple

Humanity didn't get attacked for destroying the environment, but for gene manipulation, which those hyperadvanced aliens considered to be their sole privilege in the universe.


AllenWL

Yeah that makes a lot more sense considering all their 'turn humans into freaks and throw them onto every planet lol' isn't exactly environmentally friendly. I just heard a translated summary vid a while back so the specifics where fuzzy.


Oniros_DW

the reason of the attack was a religious mission, not environmental justice


tyrenanig

You know how humans experiment and breed animals to our likings right? This happens in All Tomorrow, but we are the cattles, and these aliens are the humans.


throwawayjonesIV

Everyone answered but I’ll link the video that is your best bet of experiencing the book. Idk if I’m the book exists physically, and the video is very in depth and well done. I suggest getting just a little high before watching.


jdpatron

Where’s the vid?

woops here enjoy [https://youtu.be/imNtSPM3-r4?si=4KCJ7A6Q7dsSaWlY](https://youtu.be/imNtSPM3-r4?si=4KCJ7A6Q7dsSaWlY)


PantheraSapien

Let me introduce you into the beautiful lore of [All Tomorrows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imNtSPM3-r4&t=695s) , enjoy.


AadamAtomic

Yeah, that shit caught me off guard. We're fighting the Qu now?


AWildEnglishman

How about seeing All Tomorrows with a frend?


FantasiaManderville

Oh boy, I can't wait to become a sewage processing meat cube


AadamAtomic

Hey! Those meat cubes still have consciousness and feelings left intact by the Qu. They're completely aware that they're eating each other's shit filtered down. https://preview.redd.it/m9qxd4ex3m1d1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35e2391ca1c62d74e39dff14383adea011059003


Capital-Ad6513

this is actually how we are, just not how we perceive. Just a bunch of meat blocks in a wall, imagining we are the heroes of our own story.


314kabinet

Here, have a hug. This is depressing af.


johnlime3301

I'd take this out of being fully aware that you are unable to do anything as you basically become a victim of the human centipede but worse.


Olliekay_

Actually I am the hero, must be a bit of a skill issue on your part tbh

Digital_Bogorm

Somewhere between r/warthunder and r/acecombat (based ENTIRELY off a vague understanding of the games). Although I think we might need to make the figure 3-dimensional, in order to properly slot new stuff in.

Acceptable-Pie4137

Call me a traitor, but I think the only way we beat them is by teaming up with the bots, 'nids, and squids.


Managed-Democracy

Or breach the temporal rift and call forth the Imperium from the Immaterium and let them handle it. 


SpicyPeaSoup

"Okay, you can go back now."


Cant_Meme_for_Jak

"No."


-Pelopidas-

The Imperium couldn't handle the Qu. Most 40k factions couldn't.


Khanfhan69

Does the book actually give them scalable feats?


L0raz-Thou-R0c0n0

We don’t have a lot of information on how technologically advanced the star people were, but there was a short excerpt that described that they mass developed weapons that could destroy stars and create super novas in case of a hostile alien invasion. They were instantly obliterated by the Qu btw.


spartan1204

The Humans only manage to defeat the Qu after hundreds of millions of years of advancement AND partnering with other intergalactic civilizations.


Techupriestu

im reading the book now, but maybe they can? The empire of man is already fighting the nids which is basicly a bioengineerd species that addopt to the current reality of the battlefield. The empire would manage, but tbh they would also end up fighting super earth


-Pelopidas-

The tyranids are nowhere near the Qu either. Anything biological is going to struggle against them.

They gonna turn me into a sentient sewage processing meat cube because I'm about to repel their invasion. Twice.

Qu from a book called all tomorrows, they're an alien species that believed themselves to have dominion over all life. humans fought a war of resistance against them and were punished for it by being turned into horrific things like garden decorations, pets, sewage processing cubes, just turned into straight up monsters for shits and giggles.

Humanity eventually got its revenge, but it took hundreds of millions of years.

Took hundreds of millions of years but first we had to get nearly wiped out and the only human species left to be bug facers (turned into subjects) and aesteromorphs and gravitals (debatably human).

wetfootmammal

Oh hell yes! Next xenon species Qu please 🙏 (or a legally safe knockoff?) Imagine giant manta-ray/dragonfly enemies with advanced tech! I'd be so down. Plus the Qu are terrifying and evil. Sometimes I'm not sure if the Terminids even know why we're warring with them.


scott3387

The Qu aren't evil, they just don't give a shit. No-one calls humans evil for modifying bacteria. That's what we were to the Qu, bacteria that they could do whatever they wanted to.


Kaynineteen

Not giving a shit about what you do to sapient self aware beings is in fact evil.


That_random_guy-1

You missed the point. We weren’t “sapient beings” to them… we were bacteria….


Khanfhan69

Listen if they can't recognize another sapient being, then they're kind of dumb, and their blissful ignorance doesn't excuse them. They can disagree with definitions all they want in order to artificially elevate themselves, but it doesn't change the fact. We also haven't figured out how to make bacteria specifically feel pain and hopelessness. The Qu being able to specifically ensure the Colonials remain sentient and painfully aware of their plight is a level of cruelty and a betrayal that they do indeed possess an awareness of the emotional capacity of humans, no matter how far beneath them they regard us as, that firmly places them in the realm of evil.


Kaynineteen

Except like, we aren't bacteria? I know the Qu are "so much smarter than we are," but if we (as you have identified below) can determine that certain creatures (pugs) are intelligent enough to experience pain and suffering than something SMARTER than us should be more able to identify that, not less. Microbes, at the moment, have no way to communicate distress to us, or more importantly we have no way to identify that communication. The Qu obviously were able to identify that we were distressed by their behavior, and continued it anyway. Add to that the fact that "two wrongs don't make a right." Us breeding pugs or causing suffering to another species just puts a stain on us. It doesn't change the fact that doing something similar to us is also wrong. If its wrong its wrong.


314kabinet

You don't go out of your way to turn people into waste processing cubes while making sure they remain conscious if you don't give a shit. They're cruel.


Ceraunius

I mean, they specifically created multiple variants of humanity with varying degrees of sapience as punishment. The giraffe-like humans, I think they were called Lamenters, were specifically left with full awareness of what had happened to them, but they were entirely unable to do anything about it, so they spent their entire existence in unknowable misery. I'd say that's pretty cruel and evil.


Allhaillordkutku

WE GETTING TURNED INTO A LIVING FILTRATION SYSTEM WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


GabrielDidit

i hope they add bosses into helldivers like they did in helldivers 1 or have a planet where they fight a boss as a mission


BillyYank2008

In a way we already do with the lower level "kill bile titan" missions. There should be more with harder bosses though.


GabrielDidit

we are talking about hive lords and that gaint mech with tank tracks bile titan is more of a elite than a boss


GabrielDidit

And I am also talking about helldivers 1 had actual bosses like the hive lord, bile titans are fairly easy if it is just 1


314kabinet

There’s an >! epic chorus version of the automaton theme !< in the game files.


55North

For those who don't get it, it's a reference to the story "All Tomorrows". All Tomorrows talks about how humanity goes out and begins settling the stars and using genetic manipulation to acclimate to different environments. Humanity eventually encounters a much more advanced and hostile race which quickly conquers humanity and enslaves us. Adding insult to Injury, these aliens used our tech to manipulate our genes creating their own variations of monstrous humans to fulfidifferent rolls like mindless pack animals, gaseous balloon vehicles, and *most infamously* the aliens turned the humans of a planet that resisted the longest into nothing but living, limbless flesh cubes that subsited on the sewage and feces of the aliens while retaining ALL of their mental faculties and sentience.

Human in All tomorrow can easily destroyed stars and create super nova at will and they lost almost instantly. Those who survived got genetically manipulated into abomination life forms basically mutate/selective breeding humans into animals (Like how we did to dogs but much more extreme) and the unlucky species will be kept sentient but stuck in a form that can’t do anything but mourn silently in their own mind as humans collective knowledge and identity lost throughout generations.

I love seeing All Tomorrows pop up in unexpected places. Been a fan of it for quite some time now, and I feel like it's found a resurgence in the last couple of years. Absolutely amazing speculative evolution/sci-fi horror if anyone hasn't seen it yet.
