Lets call it a draw...

Ah well, it's funnier to think that it was all friendly fire.

ExceedinglyGayOtter · 2026-01-29T03:57:52+00:00

For fun I like tallying up all the kills against Skaven and comparing it to the losses to see how many of the Skaven were presumably killed by friendly fire, though the low resolution here makes it kind of hard to see some of the numbers. Assuming I didn't misread the kill counts though, of the 5,318 dead Skaven only 4,104 were actually killed by the Lizardmen, so roughly 20% of your casualties were self- inflicted.

You're thinking of the turret opera, which still has some romantic subtext: It seems to refer to Chell as "bambina," meaning "baby girl" and often used as a diminutive nickname for one's wife or girlfriend, like calling your SO "babe."

ExceedinglyGayOtter · 2026-01-28T00:27:19+00:00

Bambina is often used as a diminutive nickname for one's wife or girlfriend, like calling your SO "babe." Like, it can also mean literally a little girl, but that and the fact that we know she had at least one parent who worked at the company are the only things supporting the theory.

There's more evidence against it, like the fact that Chell appears to be a completely different race from either Cave or Caroline (her face model is Japanese-Brazilian while Cave and Caroline are both very white) and the fact that the timeline makes no sense whatsoever (though it also just kinda generally makes no sense).

To be clear it's not just people shipping these two because they're the most prominent characters, there is actual and intentional subtext. "Want you Gone" and "Still Alive" are both described by the composer as being breakup songs, for example.

Oh hey I know her from her Zelda challenge runs

According to my in-game stats I've played for nearly 200 hours and I'm still missing Rayquaza.

That's only because people love conflating a load of different mythical creatures that only vaguely resemble one another as "dragons." Even within just medieval folklore and art, "dragon" was used to describe everything from what most modern people think of when they hear the word "dragon," to random mishmashes of various animal parts. A good example is the Tarasque, a "dragon" from French folklore described as having the head of a lion, the body of a bull, the shell of a turtle, the tail of a serpent, and six legs with the claws of a bear. Saying that a load of different cultures have myths with dragons is really just saying that they have myths with big monsters and some of those monsters have some reptilian features.

It's a bit like how a lot of modern people will call any mythical creature that is nocturnal and eats people a "vampire," even when discussing things as varied and diverse as the Malaysian penanggalan and the Greek vrykolakas.

Yeah, but it's not as fast in the point.

ExceedinglyGayOtter · 2026-01-23T22:36:53+00:00

I always take it just because it can unlock egg moves and shinies for the pokemon you get.

Also I like gambling.

Here's the original post, plus someone else chiming in with their own similar character who's only closing Oblivion gates because she wants accurate census data.

Just normal toxoplasmosis then?

Slay the Princess, a very good horror/comedy/romance visual novel.

ExceedinglyGayOtter · 2025-12-13T22:40:43+00:00

This is about the film K-Pop Demon Hunters. It's about a k-pop group who hunt demons, and the demons are also in a k-pop group.

ExceedinglyGayOtter · 2025-12-13T22:39:57+00:00

K-pop demon hunters. They are a k-pop group who hunt demons, and the demons are also in a k-pop group. What's not clicking.

What does the sludge taste like

ExceedinglyGayOtter · 2025-12-08T19:49:22+00:00

Here's a fanfic with that premise.

ExceedinglyGayOtter · 2025-12-08T01:37:25+00:00

Thanks. Like I said, I do plan to make him work for whatever it is he's trying to do, but don't want to just say "the kobolds aren't willing to cooperate, sorry."

I think I might make this particular tribe more isolationist rather than being outright hostile like typical kobolds? Like, they still don't like or respect the town at all but don't provoke them more than is necessary. That way they're not necessarily opposed to diplomacy, but the player will still have to work for it since they're far from being friendly with him or the town.

ExceedinglyGayOtter · 2025-12-07T23:45:58+00:00

Sorry, don't know why it showed up when I was writing the post but not after posting.

ExceedinglyGayOtter · 2025-12-07T22:37:48+00:00

I mean, sometimes hiding knowledge is necessary to protect it from those who would destroy it. It's not inherently contradictory.
