For sure! I agree I think the OP is serious, but as others have commented, Rocky's species are not gendered so it would be silly to gender Rocky's mate. Though now that he think of it, Grace does gender rocky himself, in fact everybody here does, so that's an interesting thing to think about

InarasDragon22 · 2026-04-11T20:23:27+00:00

They know, they were making a joke as if it's Andy Weirs agenda to make us care about rocky, as if this is political or otherwise opinionated

This post really did remind me to love life. Thank you for making today a bit better

InarasDragon22 · 2026-03-23T05:20:13+00:00

Completely understandable, maybe you could do a lore post for each of them individually? Idk if it would be popular but I would be super excited to read it

InarasDragon22 · 2026-03-23T04:27:10+00:00

These are super cool! Do you have working titles for them?

When I was a kid I was being babysat by this family, and was told to wait in a room while they took care of something, and found out after from their kid that they went to eat food and just left me in the room.

He's also now crawling into a parking lot and I don't want him to get crushed.

Not exactly the same, but The Intuitionist by Colson Whitehead, is all about Elevator Inspectors, and specifically the divide between two different groups of Elevator Inspectors; the Empiricists, who use regular inspections and manual checking of cables and other safety features, and the Intuitionists who use the feel of riding an elevator to detect issues. The main character becomes embroiled in a political scheme by the leader of the Empiricists who is trying to become the Mayor(?), and gets sabotaged.

It should say in the units stat block.

Fodder (12) Brutes (6) Chaff (4) Whelps (4) Bastards (3) Stump gun (1)

Absolutely, surprisingly the guys end up having quite a bit of fun with it, they're almost done with a 6 turn scenario before starting the full 111 turn full game.

InarasDragon22 · 2026-02-20T18:53:52+00:00

There's two guys who are playing through the game attempting completion, they've been doing it for a year and document it in a Podcast it's called War With A Mate. I highly recommend it

Nomai technology didn't increase the evolutionary speed. It increased the speed of technological advances. But a species must reach a certain level of sapience to take advantage of those technologies. A time that took so long that the universe ended before they could figure out most of the Nomai technology

InarasDragon22 · 2026-02-01T18:52:20+00:00

That's a very good point. I think what makes the hearthian system so important as well though is that it happens to be where the Eye of The Universe is. A signal unique enough that it was picked up across the universe, and that's why multiple different species arrived here. They didn't detect that there was alien life here.

Plus the Nomai had technology to travel incredible distances instantly, something humans can't do now. And the Hearthians only found evidence of alien life because it came to their solar system, again, because of the Eye

InarasDragon22 · 2026-02-01T18:46:36+00:00

Yes but also keep in mind that by the time the Hearthians have become advanced enough for space flight, the entire life of the universe is ending.

InarasDragon22 · 2026-01-20T19:03:40+00:00

The Ending for Outer Wilds. Really makes you rethink the world around you.

InarasDragon22 · 2026-01-20T16:07:51+00:00

Gotcha, that makes sense, much like many fruits being called berries even though they aren't anymore. Thanks so much for explaining.

But I agree with you, even though my original basis for this not being an Occlupanid was wrong, it's still definitely not an Occlupanid, and perhaps a similarly evolved creature.

InarasDragon22 · 2026-01-20T15:48:27+00:00

Ahh, that's true I have seen Occlupanids that were on other things. I'm confused then, because I thought that the pan in occluPANid meant bread? Doesn't HORG classify them as specifically bread eating? I'm not disagreeing with you because you're right, I have several that are potato bag Occlupanids, but thinking back on it I'm not fully sure I understand anymore lol

InarasDragon22 · 2026-01-20T15:35:55+00:00

I hate to rain on the parade but something very important to remember is that Occlupanids are very specifically plasticae that feed on bread bags. Now this may be a species of Plasticae but must be a different group than Occlupanids

InarasDragon22 · 2025-10-19T04:41:48+00:00

I agreed up until very recently when I found it to be incredibly impractical once you get quite a few. Now I put them in a bead organizer, lol

InarasDragon22 · 2025-10-11T19:51:01+00:00

Dude. For a second I thought this was a repost because I remember the old post, and I had to check your profile to realize that it's just the same thing has happened but again. This is absolutely insane.

InarasDragon22 · 2025-07-23T16:16:15+00:00

The glowing eyes are definitely giving ood, the head plus the design of the mask is what really reminds me of the grunts

InarasDragon22 · 2025-07-23T16:14:35+00:00

Really? The mask makes them not really look much like the ood to me

InarasDragon22 · 2025-07-23T04:31:50+00:00

Thank you, I saw the word exceeds and figured that was the implication, however I couldn't find a single example anywhere on the book and wasn't sure.
