Are we the last resistance against the Vex in the universe (that we know of)?

I'm not very educated on Destiny lore, but I'm very curious about the Vex, they're definitely my favorite faction and one thing that's been bugging me out about them is the fact that I don't know if it's ever mentioned their true extension.

AFAIK guardians are confined to Sol, and the whole franchise never goes beyond its extension. We don't visit different stars or systems besides our own and some spaces beyond space and time (ascendant planes, VoG etc.)

The Flower Game is mentioned to span the whole universe and not just Sol. The Vex is the pattern that always wins and the only barrier against them, at least in our universe is the Light and Darkness and its paracasual powers granted via its representatives (the Traveler for the Light and the Deep or the Witness for darkness (?)). We are currently not aware of multiple Light and Dark agents across the universe, so assuming the Traveler is the only one of its kind and assuming the same for the Witness, it's possible we are currently the only paracasual beings in the universe?

If that's true and we are the only forces stopping the Vex in Sol, is it possible that the whole universe already has or has been turning into Vex besides us? We know the Vex works in collectives, each one carrying different roles and we know about a few of them. But we don't actually know their true extension because all we know is the Vex factions residing in a tiny fraction of our universe. Nothing hints to the Vex not being already in most of the universe! They are much more capable of crossing enormous distances than we are and it is a known fact they can manipulate time and probably even exist beyond time. For all we know, all the Vex we're fighting against may be just a tiny fraction of Vex that are dedicated to assimilating this tiny space which is Sol compared to the whole universe. We may be just the most troublesome out of the bunch and the only beings capable of fighting them which might require more dedication, but we are basically nothing in comparison to how many stars and systems there are around that the Vex might've already assimilated.

The condition for it to be true is that the Traveler is the only thing that grants Light and we are the only light bearers out there, which seems true because the Traveler has been around planets giving light to just a bunch of beings at a time. And even if that isn't the case, there mustn't be enough Travelers to account for the multitude of the Vex if they're "destined" to win the Flower Game.

Am I missing something or is the hypothesis that we are the last thing the Vex haven't consumed (yet) possibly true? Should the Vex turn the whole universe into them, eventually we would be the last thing to resist the pattern and in that case we'd have to face a whole universe chasing us? Cause that would be fking terrifying

Hj fui com uma camiseta do This Heat pra academia, que é uma banda bem difícil de encaixar em algum gênero específico por fazerem algo que é bem único deles, então acaba sendo enquadrada no rock experimental. O instrutor decide me perguntar se a camiseta que eu tava usando era de alguma banda de rock pesado e toda santa vez que me perguntam algo do tipo eu não sei como responder sem que fiquem me olhando com cara de pastel de vento enquanto eu tento achar palavras pra descrever o meu gosto musical. No final eu acabo só resumindo em rock mesmo depois de me enrolar sozinho, mas além de eu quase não ouvir rock ROCK (aquelas bandas mais típicas de quando alguém pensa em rock), eu ouço muuuuito mais coisa que vai bem além. Aí como nem sempre as pessoas estão dispostas a ficar imaginando como soa uma "banda de rock experimental", eu não fico tentando dar uma resposta completa, geralmente digo que ouço umas músicas estranhas aí

I've been plagued by a bunch of livekernelevent 141/117 those last few months and from researching all over, it all points to a hardware failure as all driver related fixes didn't do it for me. The problem is, everyone's problem seems to be related to something different, some people solve it by switching CPUs, some GPUs, some PSU or even RAM and MOBO. Unfortunately I can't afford to waste money on the wrong thing and also I don't have spare parts to test everything. Fortunately my GPU is still in RMA range, which is the most expensive part.

Setup:

Ryzen 5 5600x

MSI RX 6750 XT 12GB

16GB RAM DDR4 3600Mhz Pichau Gaming

B450M DS3H V2

MSI MAG a650bn

The problem:

Randomly but usually under load, windows will freeze. After a few seconds there's a windows unplugged sound (like when you unplug an USB device), sound comes back but, screen keeps frozen. If I turn off and turn on my screen it has no image, which forces me to hard reset. Once the PC turns back on, sometimes (yes, not always) the GPU is no longer showing up in task manager and I have to DDU and reinstall the drivers and it comes back. The Liverkernel dump always raises 141 or 117, pointing to amdkmdag.sys. As I said, it usually happens under load and I can replicate it using OCCD via GPU/VRAM/Power stress tests, but it can happen during windows normal usage (in this case, it seems to happen usually a few hours of usage when the PC wakes from sleep).

Things I tried:

- Many, many, MANY DDUs and reinstall

- Installing different driver versions and with or without Adrenaline. The one who took the longest to produce a crash was 25.9.2 without Adrenaline iirc, but eventually got the same.

- Updating BIOS to the latest version

- Updating windows and disabling automatic GPU driver install

- Messing with XMP, both enabled and disabled gave me the same

- Cleaning and reinserting the GPU cables (seemed to stop it from happening for a good amount of time, but also no fix). PSU is not modular, so I can't do much in terms of cabling tests

- Undervolting/underclocking GPU

- Reseating RAM in another slot

Temps are always normal, GPU usage is normal (sometimes it crashes when not even near 100%). OCCD tests shows that there's a dip to 0% GPU effective usage right before it crashes, but no other weird behaviors. CPU and RAM stress produces nothing.

Ran memtest86, no problems were detected.

I can confidently rule out software, there's definitely some bad part in my setup but which one is the hard part to find out. Unfortunately I need this PC to work, so I can't afford to send my GPU to RMA and spend maybe weeks without it for nothing. Unfortunately I have no spare one, so if there's any way to point out if it's actually GPU related, I could prepare myself to send it to RMA. If there's no way, well, that sucks, I'll find out what to do, but if anyone has ANY clue, I'll be very thankful!
