Honestly in the right hands that book could do a lot of good very quickly

I mean, fossils exist. I don’t think it’s completely out of the bounds of semi-informed imagination to figure something similar may happen with the intense heat and heavy debris of pyroclastic flow. You get told dead thing + heat + pressure + time = rock, and all 4 of those were involved to some extent, so it’s not completely out of the blue.

Yeah, and on top of the many niche-but-pivotal installments, it’s also just an inherently confusing story. I once scrolled past what was meant to be a beginner’s summary of the series that just scraped the bare minimum of major story points and it was like 2.5hrs long. Like, each character is actually 2-3 characters in a trenchcoat, there’s simulations, parallel universes, hypothetical worlds, and through all of that you have Goofy and Donald being bros flying in a candy spaceship built by chipmunks. Man, I have no idea what these writers were/are on, but you may need to take some to truly get the story

Sinking my teeth into Hollow Knight, just “finished” Subnautica 2 in its current state
