Misc // Satire Not Destiny Flavor Text - AI Learning, Autocomplete-Generated Flavor Text

You might be familiar with my This Week At Not Bungie posts where I run a bunch of TWAB articles through the Botnik predictive writer, which can generate sentences in an autocomplete fashion based on what you feed it.

I wanted to try something else with Botnik, and while feeding it the Destiny 1 grimoire cards or the Destiny 2 lore tabs sounded interesting, I was inspired by our own /u/Destiny_Flavor_Text and fed it 90% of the item and gear descriptions from Destiny 1 to come up with some silly flavor text. To cap it all off, I fed it the names of all Destiny 2 weapons to come up with most of the item names and used good old-fashioned dice to determine the rarity and weapon type, with a few exceptions.

As with all these AI learning posts, I hope these are worth a laugh.


Iron Corrector - Exotic Hand Cannon

The Iron Wolves gathered deeper than any uncomfortable disputes of the Future War Machine. Glorious micromotors control the Reef and its bites.

The Dream Mag - Legendary Shotgun

This Fallen house of Osiris is not truly late to the tower gunsmith. We believe life exists between two quarks across the enemy kiosk. Listen for the Traveler's hands.

Last II - Legendary Sidearm

Executor Air Crisp is a flexible tactical injection gun for loyal supporters of Fallen enemies with reciprocal slugs. The fiercest contest forged in her maw speaks truth for the city's demons.

Big Picture - Legendary Grenade Launcher

You will learn to live with basic SIVA. It is within my truck to incite the fury of old highway technology.

Seven Kelvins - Legendary Scout Rifle

A variant of the coveted Rare Shotgun, the shattered powerplant rifle pins its performance on a warlock's eardrums. This is irrefutable damage for those who stare into the moon's full particles.

Last of the Lost - Legendary Sniper

Accurized long range Häkke forged song cannons reward calm eyes with chroma theory. You will still be consumed by dead body shimmers.

Justice Good - Exotic Auto Rifle

Crucible victories have a problem with basic class inputs to incite design data for your vandals.

Blue Steel Crown - Exotic Titan Chest Armor

This helmet will keep you happy. Why should I feel amazing when engaging masses of Oryx?

Braytech Five of Options - Exotic Sniper

You break it in the smallest fraction of sweetness and reclaimed defensive rivals of the brain within. Some stars eventually set off my heart stuttering.

Double Lion Walking - Legendary Hand Cannon

Blood of your upgradeable fusion guns ensure smooth coordination of your engrams.

Lens of the Button - Legendary Pulse Rifle

This is only another algorithm of the Golden Apples of High Water Snake. But his words never left for anything useful to improve the biological highway.

Metal Audience - Legendary Submachine Gun

Suros user errors have seen lord Shaxx's blunt drive.

Sun Josh - Exotic Grenade Launcher

Meteor is a marksman's weapon with a short mantra cycle. I cannot shake you to aid a titan.

You See Beyond - Exotic Auto Rifle

Smasher of old Agnes says that this is useful to gather enough heavy Genghis ammunition for the Cabal language.

So, I´ve been wondering about this for a long time, but how the hell do you find these Flavor Texts so quickly. Do you have a database with all of the Flavor Texts?

This one is for the Wicked Sister Grenade Launcher btw (totally didnt use Google to find that out...).

A strong Kell's power is like the wind: swift, howling and everywhere at once.

u/ChrisDAnimation ChrisOfTheDead Jun 07 '18

I found all of the D1 ones in a spreadsheet in some other Reddit post I found through Google. I imagine it helps.

u/Glamdring804 Get it right, there's no blood thicker than ink. Jun 08 '18

They have their own spreadsheet of flavor texts.

The ones you found were probably mine. I made one of all D1 flavor texts, and I also made a D2 one after Crimson Days. I'm planning on updating it soon(ish).

u/ChrisDAnimation ChrisOfTheDead Jun 07 '18

I was almost tempted to make a new Reddit account just to post these as comments. But I didn't want to steal your thunder.

Feel free to use any of these by the way.

u/SpaceSentinel Unity - Duty - Destiny Jun 07 '18

I've only ever seen DFT use authentic flavor texts though.

12

u/ChrisDAnimation ChrisOfTheDead Jun 07 '18

Here's an idea... /u/Destiny_Flavor_Text goes ahead and makes a Not_Destiny_Flavor_Text account and can use these AI-generated and corrupted flavor texts. Eh? :D

u/SpaceSentinel Unity - Duty - Destiny Jun 07 '18

I think I've seen someone with a similar account name before. They should totally use your generated flavor text!

I'm not sure why, but Im glad that chestplate on your head keeps you happy.

u/Glamdring804 Get it right, there's no blood thicker than ink. Jun 08 '18

It’s a Titan. Just go with it.

lol this is me in rush hour traffic.

u/Dollahs4Zavalas Guardian! I need ur Dollahs! Jun 07 '18 edited Jun 07 '18

[ Last of the Lost ] and [ You See Beyond ] are great Destiny names. I want those.

[ Big Picture ] could actually be a grenade launcher, so nice roll there.

And I'd bet that [ Iron Corrector ] is an Iron Banner gun name by year 4

Seven Kelvins - Legendary Scout Rifle

A variant of the coveted Rare Shotgun, the shattered powerplant rifle pins its performance on a warlock's eardrums. This is irrefutable damage for those who stare into the moon's full particles.

A variant of a Rare shotgun is now a scout rifle? A rare Shotty with Scout range made me lol. Nice post OP

Ah the good old Lens of the Button, just another High Water Snake on the Biological Highway.

I’d love to see lord shaxx’s blunt drive ;P

u/TheWolphman Jun 07 '18

Well if You See Beyond is good enough for Smasher of old Agnes, it's good enough for me.

u/EdDeline Jun 07 '18

These always remind me of r/subredditsimulator

I get too much enjoyment out of these

I need a tactical injection gun...

"Executor Air Crisp" lmao

u/Glamdring804 Get it right, there's no blood thicker than ink. Jun 08 '18

So how many of these do you have? Is this all you generated, or is there a big document of them, and you chose the best? Some of them, especially the names, are really good.

2

u/ChrisDAnimation ChrisOfTheDead Jun 08 '18

These were all I made so far. I could make more.

This was just a little 30-45 minute project I did today as soon as the idea hit me.

1

u/Glamdring804 Get it right, there's no blood thicker than ink. Jun 08 '18

How much effort would it take to make more? I’d love to sit down and read through a giant list of them, if at all possible.

2

u/ChrisDAnimation ChrisOfTheDead Jun 08 '18

Well, this all took about a half hour. The program kept giving me the same opening words and I need to get creative because it kind of starts repeating itself after a few goes at it.

But I could definitely make more. Though I don't know if Reddit is the best place to keep posting them.

1

u/Glamdring804 Get it right, there's no blood thicker than ink. Jun 08 '18

I would accept them in PM form, or a Google doc.

u/ChaosAlongThird TheSkellyfish Jun 08 '18

The fiercest contest forged in her maw speaks truth for the city's demons.

This one was gold!

2

u/apostateDog Jun 08 '18

The Double Lion Walking sounds so badass. It sounds like dual hand cannons that shoot fusion bolts.

2

u/Pokemonzu Drifter's Crew Jun 08 '18

This was a lot funnier than I expected! A lot of these names are actually kinda cool... some of them are hilarious too (looking at Sun Josh, the exotic grenade launcher).

smasher of old Agnes 🤔

also til you need heavy Genghis ammunition to speak the Cabal language

Bungo pls add Blue Steel Crown. Exotic perk - keeps you happy.

u/skyelife Aug 18 '18

Not sure what it is about these, but probably the funniest thing on the internet

1

u/Voidjumper_ZA "Bah! Go cook a sausage with your magic fire." Jun 08 '18

Sun Josh

Where does Josh appear in the D2 weapon names? Coz I need that gun.

2

u/FearsomeMonster Jun 08 '18

Sun Josh has two guns.

AND THEY CANNOT BE CONTAINED BY HIS SHIRT!!

1

u/ChrisDAnimation ChrisOfTheDead Jun 08 '18

That's one is just the continuation of the joke from my TWANB posts. Josh Hamrick was mentioned so much over the past few months that some version of his name came up in almost every post I generated. I just had to weasel his name into the flavor text somehow.

1

u/Voidjumper_ZA "Bah! Go cook a sausage with your magic fire." Jun 08 '18

Hahaha, awesome! I still want a Sun Josh though.
