WTF wasn't she so outraged the last time someone denied her tittle that she almost started a war?
Yikes It look like most of her exotic tech is gonna be hard to use

The only thing that comes to mind is that before, "Queen Administrator" was known to be her name/title, and the gods decided to deliberately snub her. This time, 'Queen' isn't acting as part of her actual name or title, but is instead part of a mere unimportant alias. As it's only an alias and thus not really her name, refusing to have that alias contain 'Queen' isn't as critical or insulting or what-have-you. The reasoning is also implied to be different - instead of "deliberate insult lulz", this is "don't be seen as related". If Minnie had been told of all of Addy's reasoning, that might have gotten a different reaction, but Lena's only revealing the "don't be related" part and not the "didn't earn it" part - which could easily have gotten a different response.
inb4 somehow using geese for Friends solves the problem in ways Minnie doesn't understand.
I like how you completely took the wind out of everyone freaking out about the name. Checks out as well, she gains more benefits from the possibility of having Luther as a last name. And the Queen name is not even her title.
In INW, it was her title under attack. Here it is a name she just received.

Sorry Lena, but...
Yeah. As these two above point out, that's kind of a lost cause. In fact, Cadmus managing to achieve that is actually reducing Minnie's target population.
There is a big difference after all, between a xenocidal being and an omnicidal one.

And the attempt would most likely just make Cadmus the number one target of Minnie.
Best case scenario would be Minnie helping Cadmus fight aliens, while also making sure they can't win by arming the said aliens.

The hats would be total shard-fuckery. For Tinkertech, however, Minnie is the Shard in question; she can decide to go for obfuscation, necessary maintenance, etc—and the maintenance is a product of obfuscation—or to refrain from those.
That being said, her first instinct is generally to ensure that Friends do not require excessive maintenance, but are still exceptionally difficult to replicate to the degree of requiring ludicrous precision.

Oopsie - Minnie?
Hmmm, but wouldn't you still need to be connected to a Shard to actually build/maintain it?
Even Contessa can only operate tinkertech to a limited extent, so what chance do normal 'mortal' scientists have?
Here's WOG (Wildbow's answer to Foxtail's theories about tinkertech):
Eh, yes and no? There's tinker tech and then there's Tinker Tech. Stuff like containment foam is tinker tech, but factory reproducible. Stuff like time bombs on the other hand…

Minnie is still connected to the greater QA shard while humaning. The ROB that yanked her into this universe is sustaining the connection between Minnie and her shard - otherwise she'd be too far away to be connected. Taylor/Dreamer/etc can't communicate without ruinous expense, and even that is only because she can partially hijack Minnie's connection.
I don't remember whether containment foam is considered tinker-tech or not, honestly. But it's not actually produced by tinkers, so... probably not?
And most of Minnie's friends should be Big T - Tinker Tech, I think. Probably. Dunno.

Oh, I'm so glad. The previous chapter made me concerned with how incredibly negatively Addy reacted to Minnie. I'm pleased that despite that, Minnie still got a relatively thorough explanation for Addy's refusal to speak to her thanks to the wonderful info efficiency of shard speak. Minnie's sheer optimism and positivity here is a wonderful balm after Addy's stress and mourning in the previous chapter.

Iirc it's tinker tech, but I'm pretty sure they also produce it in factories.
Though, beyond that we also had a wog that contessa could make very low tier tinker tech(iirc would give her a rating around 4).
But yeah, Minnie's friends are not precisely low level tinker tech. Still, the things she'll probably end up making as body guards will probably be at least semi reproducible.

Dragon is technically a Thinker IIRC, but it's still considered Tinkertech.
Putting aside whether you are correct or not (this honestly isn't the place to have an argument about canon Tinker reproducibility et al.), I will note that Queen Shaper is canonically a bud and should therefore only be Shaper. Plus, y'know, the personalities of Shards, Shard culture, and so on. Some liberties were taken.

Well, QA would at least agree with you.

It isn't efficient because of file size, it's efficient because of all the misunderstandings it avoids. Think of all the effort (and follow-up messages and time) that would otherwise be wasted!*eyes file size*
Well, QA would at least agree with you.
Hmmm, I wonder who's other data she has on hand?
Lena is taking Minnie's abilities as a baseline isn't she? 😅
I can't help but imagine Addie and Minnie having an argument about what is the best feature of geese. With Minnie somehow getting her answers closer to the range of what the rest of their friend circle think on the issue. Like how a lot of people are wary of Angry Goose. In other words, probably concerning, just in a different way than Addie's opinions of "Hug the goose!"
You mean you didn't send choice quotes backwards in time so that you could work in some changes into what you wrote?Honestly, I had a backlog so this chapter was done before the last chapter was even posted. Any effects on readers were coincidental.

For the specific part you quoted, not quite. Lena was thinking of this:
Wait until Addie finds out that Minnie's version of Shards have a lot more personality and independent thought than hers. And Minnie is just a bundle of coping mechanisms from eons dealing with so many problems ranging from getting attached to hosts only to watch them die over and over to getting shit on by other shards because of her role in the network.
Addy likes geese precisely because they're rude, unthinkingly violent, territorial, and can fly. The only place where they're likely to differ in opinion is that Minnie probably thinks they don't have enough venom.
Addy hugs them because she's invincible so they can't stop her.
Can confirm. Noita shows just how destructive loading flying birds with explosives are to everyone and you. Especially you.

I do like how Minnie is generally more outwardly expressing of emotion, but that being in both of their head's that they do have similar uhh not trains of thought but like not even the end points it's like they could easily agree on things from a different frame of reference. And then argue the second either brings up why. Granted we also see Addie be emotional, but be more self aware and also more irritated that they affect her in any way.

Oh Minnie.
Half a dimensional jump away there's this one dude who can run really, really fast.
Physics isn't real. There is only Run.
