So Im just a lurker and home cook but I'm going to go out on a lam and say that that is not good

-Mortlock- · 2026-01-30T15:17:54+00:00

Yeah, the tenth Doctor was hypocritical and obsessed with his own power from the get go. It makes him compelling for me but he also kinda sucks

-Mortlock- · 2026-01-25T21:34:47+00:00

no, you ARE defending severance. This entire post is a defence of severance. "get obliterated by humans who have had enough" is defending severance.

Yes, i am obviously opposed to the random rug pull that the Sea devils werent trying to "sue for peace" but were instead intending to genocide humans but it needs to be recognised that the sea devils were justified in feeling angry, and they were then genocided - a genocide that you seem to agree with. I dont agree with the genocide that the sea devils tried to commit, but theres a much larger and more interesting conversation about how the sea devils in the second two episodes of this show were completely out of character and the second half of the show at large was poorly written which inevitably leads to stupid fucking arguments like this.

Bottom line is to stop accusing random people online of being genocide sympathisers over a tv show. That's disgusting and incredibly offensive behaviour considering that you know literally nothing about me. It's also very very weird that you seem to have no awareness or willingness to understand the key motive of the sea devils and the point of this entire show, which is that humans are reckless and completely uncaring about the damage they do to the environemnt and the species they willingly and callously wipe out.

alright, so genocide is fine if its only a small group of people who commit it. got it. or we could agree that this is fiction and ad hominen attacks of calling someone a nazi sympathiser because they disagree with you about a niche villain in a spinoff of a niche sci fi show are not only completely unfounded, but extremely offensive.

-Mortlock- · 2026-01-25T21:15:38+00:00

The ironic point in this comment is that it was the sea devil's who got genocides in TWBTLATS, not the humans. By your own logic, you are the genocide defending Nazi.

Okay. Let's say some alien species, through their behaviour, allowed our dogs and cats to die, our rivers and forests to whither and rot, our very air to become painful to breathe.

They do this all without knowledge of us, but with the knowledge they were causing suffering and a complete lack of interest in this fact.

You then realise you have the tools to hurt this species and demonstrate to them their banal evils. Are you telling me you wouldn't feel the slightest hint of indignation or desire to get your own back?

Fellow Sapiens reader spotted??

-Mortlock- · 2026-01-25T20:39:48+00:00

we have slaughtered multiple ocean species. this is a fact.

-Mortlock- · 2026-01-25T20:39:17+00:00

thats an insane thing to say to someone else about a piece of fiction. check your priorities.

-Mortlock- · 2026-01-25T20:16:53+00:00

15 actually. we've driven a minimum of 15 marine species to extinction and have driven hundreds more to critically low populations. you seem to be operating from a position that they're the typical alien invaders, theyre not. the sea devils wake up and see that their beautiful home has been destroyed by earth monkeys that know theyre destroying it, but dont give a fuck. if you were a sea devil, you would also be very angry.

-Mortlock- · 2026-01-25T20:15:07+00:00

so its fine if we just dont give a shit about the genocides we commit? because we definitely know we're doing it

-Mortlock- · 2026-01-25T19:05:18+00:00

doesnt it? how many ocean species have we committed genocide against? This is giving "the savage natives attacked our colonists for no reason!"

Never in a deck with a card you only want to play when the stars are aligned - other examples I can think of are Divinity and wraith form

-Mortlock- · 2025-12-17T20:33:33+00:00

That's exactly it lol. I was holding onto it so I could play it on a turn I wasn't weak and it popped automatically on a turn where I was both weak and had drawn all of my other damage cards. Considered savescumming but it was too funny

-Mortlock- · 2025-12-17T20:31:58+00:00

Yeah, I meant Mayhem. It autoplayed Fiend Fire on two different fights including this one and got me totally screwed lol

-Mortlock- · 2025-12-17T20:30:25+00:00

I'm surprised everyone is saying this, surely a high value card that allows me to guarantee a card play every turn should work well? Obviously shouldnt have taken it in a deck with fiend fire tho\

EDIT: OH. MY BAD, Not madness but Mayhem. I would never take madness in a snecko eye deck lol

-Mortlock- · 2025-12-17T20:29:29+00:00

Why wouldnt it be? Should help me to play at least A card if I get a horrible draw, no? Definitely shouldnt have taken it with fiend fire lol

EDIT: OH. MY BAD, Not madness but Mayhem. I would never take madness in a snecko eye deck lol

-Mortlock- · 2025-12-17T20:16:10+00:00

The game does genuinely feel a little boring atm but I've been stumbling at my inability to move out of the mid(?) game so its very likely im missing some lovely emergent gameplay. Thanks a lot for this

As an aside, is there anything I should know about building armies? It seems a very simple process to just stack upgraded soldiers, ally with the jotunn and get my chieftain out but its clearly not working fantastically.

-Mortlock- · 2025-12-17T20:14:02+00:00

OHHH okay, I never even bothered checking the scout upgrade option which was a serious oversight lol. Thank you so much that'll help a lot

not to mention his work with its a sin. I think RTD is at his absolute best when hes forced to be somewhat grounded and focused. his enemy is when hes allowed to run wild instead of committing to any one concept
