“The scale worms have been believed to be descendants of a different species that INVADED the deep-sea millions of years ago.”
Is there some worm-based geopolitical lore I’m missing??
- Comment on Against The Storm's 1.3 update is out now and it's one for the zoomers 2 months ago:
But that’s kinda part of the challenge of the game, though, right? Having to adapt to various layouts is part of the puzzle aspect of each map, imo
- Comment on Whistleblower 'would not' put family on Boeing 787 jet 2 months ago:
Idk… That might even out. During a 30 drive, I’d probably add on at least 8-9 hours for every 8-9 driven, because that’s as long as I can stand to drive at a stretch without needing to find a hotel to stop for the night. Driving for that long is goddamned miserable, and at least in a train you can book an overnight car to sleep in so that even when you sleep travel keeps happening.
Idk, maybe I’m totally off base and this is totally personal preference, but if I’m already driving that far, I’d rather just take the train to not have to worry about driving myself.

Or the guy who made skinamarink! He had a YouTube channel originally where he’d adapt people’s dreams into short films. There was some wild stuff

Intend to watch the full thing later, but I already love his style based on the opening minutes! The interviews remind me of old PBS/Nova style documentaries where so much of them was just letting people talk and tell their stories. Very cool!
- Comment on Taylor Swift among 141 new billionaires in ‘amazing year for rich people’ 2 months ago:
Yup, that’s pretty much it, that’s how low the bar is for other billionaires. That’s all it takes to make her “the best of a very bad bunch”
- Comment on What games do you replay regularly/annually ? 3 months ago:
I always think of myself as being in between runs of the Long Dark; it’s the game I’m always in a state of playing for long stretches, even if it’s been 6 months to a year since I last booted it up. You just can’t beat that first gameplay loop of trying to find something, anything, to keep warm and stay alive for another day.
I don’t agree with some of the choices they’ve made with the new dlc, but it remains my most played game of all time and is a GOAT for sure.
- Comment on If Adams Apples are primarily male, why aren't they a common fetish? 3 months ago:
Asking why a fetish isn’t common is kinda oxymoronic, in a way, considering all true fetishes are pretty rare. If you just mean ‘why aren’t they seen as attractive by straight women/other male-attracted groups’ then I can assure you they are.
The whole neck, collar bone, shoulder and peck area is like, my favorite part of the male form, and I am not alone by a long shot. Maybe talk to more women about this stuff lol.
Lots of us appreciate several parts of male anatomy in similar ways that straight men do female anatomy.
- Comment on The Terrible Costs of a Phone-Based Childhood 3 months ago:
As an example of this, if I got a C on any report card/progress report, my parents would take my phone away for the following 9 weeks until the next one came out with better grades. As a kid with undiagnosed ADHD, that meant I had my phone taken away…a lot. As a result, I had no real friendships by the end of high school, and ate my lunch alone every day. If you couldn’t text people/connect on socials, then you never got included in plans or developed those relationships with anyone.
It was lonely, painful, and it fucking sucked. My parents were too wanna-be Boomer to give a shit or even ask. I don’t speak to them any more for that and other reasons.
So yeah, social media may suck, but cutting your child off from modern social circles is a much worse parenting choice. Ideally you’d keep an eye on their use and help them form a healthier relationship with it. But I understand parenting is hard, especially when both parents work full time jobs.
- Comment on What are some good games with *zero* replayability? 3 months ago:
Funnily enough, what that review said is basically what I said in my review about chants of shenaar, except without the glowing praise. Lots of tedious running across maps and very surface level language-puzzling, whereas I don’t remember any tedium with heaven’s vault at all. I guess different strokes for different folks?
I would say, it’s such a unique and well-executes concept that I would give it a play yourself to see what you think. It’s one of those games I haven’t found a replacement for, even with chants of shenaar.
- Comment on What are some good games with *zero* replayability? 3 months ago:
If you liked chants of shenaar, check out heaven’s vault. I think it does what chants of shenaar does, but better, and it did it years before. It was a bit strange to me to see chants of shenaar get so much hype, but have heaven’s vault stay slept on.

Yes! I felt like I was staring down a stairwell for some reason, haha. What a triply optical illusion. It looks like solid work, though, OP!

No we definitely aren’t. These and the pieces about ‘YOLO spenders’ are some of the wildest examples of gaslighting I’ve seen from media outlets in a while.

- Comment on Obsidian's Avowed releases this autumn | Eurogamer 5 months ago:
I like how their example of “moral nuance and gray areas” is just a binary choice lmao. Baldur’s Gate 3 has really ruined how I view this whole genre. I don’t know if it’s sadder for me, or companies that clearly weren’t/aren’t willing or prepared to swing at that level of nuance.
- Comment on Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything 5 months ago:
No shame in being gen z. The political activism of that gen is truly impressive. They’re doing the best they can with what they’ve been given, and I think they’re doing great. I’m really proud of them as a generation :) I can’t wait to see Gen Alpha come into their own, too.
- Comment on Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything 5 months ago:
Um, no? I was born in late 94 and was the prime audience for blue’s clues. I had so much blue’s clues merch as a tot. It was that and teletubbies. I would say the youngest millenials were probably a bit too young to have caught much of Mr Rogers (I didn’t) but that may be a case by case thing.
That said, I do feel a lil disconnected from the rest of the millenial generation in what I remember from the 90s—as it’s basically nothing—and I often have to teach my '91 spouse and his similarly-aged friends about tech and current slang, but I’m still slightly to old to roll with gen z lol. Being a cusp gen baby is weird.

I remember being lost as to which act was which as I got closer to being 40 hours in, and still wasn’t sure what act I was in. Turns out, that’s still act one and they are very clear when the next act starts :)
Happy playing!

Is this the start of Todd trying to make us buy Fallout 4 a million times, like he did with Skyrim? In lieu of making an actual new good game?
