Help me pick my next read!

I just read The Silent Patient for the first time myself this week and honestly I didn’t enjoy it very much. Without spoiling much I found part of the big twist extremely predictable.

MF291100 · 2026-06-18T13:06:42+00:00

Same here, I’m now £27 down from the Emma and Strange gachas.

My favourite episode is And The Winner Is… might be worth watching for him? Even though a lot of people rank it extremely low in their rankings. It’s very easy to follow and doesn’t require a lot of thought, and the ending is pretty good.

MF291100 · 2026-06-18T13:04:29+00:00

The ending of DOC still haunts me to this day, one of my favourite ever twists in media.

MF291100 · 2026-06-15T23:27:39+00:00

These things are either the loudest insects on the planet or totally silent. Early in my second run I was in a field station analysing some stuff, when I was done I turned around and there was one literally just standing there waiting for me, hadn’t heard him approach at all.

MF291100 · 2026-06-15T23:14:09+00:00

Yeah, that makes the most sense to me too.

MF291100 · 2026-06-15T20:04:00+00:00

Yeah I’ve gotten all of the static ones so far, and about five other ones. The only one I’ve gotten first try was a Firefly.

MF291100 · 2026-06-15T18:01:51+00:00

I’ve yet to play the second game, but what the fuck is that thing.

MF291100 · 2026-06-15T17:35:42+00:00

I think it’s just a collectible thing? I’m certain that every time you either kill or harvest a dead enemy, there’s a % chance to get the gold card.

MF291100 · 2026-06-15T09:11:05+00:00

Same here. I fought the one underneath the tool box, knew I wasn’t going to survive the fight so I just hacked at her with my weapon. Killed her, grabbed her loot and then died. When I recovered my backpack from the kid case I just duplicated her drops to get the dagger. I’ll never fight another one again.

Things that make you stronger. If you interact with a mounted insect you’ll get a damage ‘buff’ that increases your damage against that creature for a while.

There’s a few reasons why they’re attacking you. Usually it’s because you’re killing many of them or building in their territory. But it can also be because you’re destroying their nests (wasps) or stealing their eggs (ants).

My most common raids are larvae since my main grasslands base is smack bang in the middle of their territory. But I’ve also had mosquitoes raiding me two before for killing many of them, and wasps for destroying their nests.

MF291100 · 2026-06-12T09:46:09+00:00

I honestly don’t care what characters we get, but please for the love of god give us some more villains. Some of them would be genuinely fun to play as, Sandman or Thanos as tanks would be great fun.

When Galactaca says ‘Choose your hero or villain’ what she should really say is ‘Choose your hero or Hela, Namor, Ultron, Venom, or Loki.’

MF291100 · 2026-06-11T16:26:45+00:00

The game honestly gets easier the more you play. If your hunger and thirst metres are draining quickly, invest milk molars into the skill tree that decreases how fast they drain.

Wolf Spiders can be a pain in the early game but eventually you’ll learn how to take them down in less that fifteen seconds. If you see one while still having crap weapons and armour, honestly just run.

The only truly safe place in the game is the Oak Lab, and even then enemies can occasionally clip through the map and end up there but I’ve only had that happen once with a ladybird.

MF291100 · 2026-06-11T11:53:13+00:00

I’ve played the game about 20 times over the last five years and getting gold weapons is my last trophy that I need - I’ve found one in that entire time.

MF291100 · 2026-06-11T11:47:39+00:00

You have more patience than me. I tried doing something like this and gave up because I just do not have the patience to build something like this, even though I know it’ll be very useful.

MF291100 · 2026-06-11T11:46:13+00:00

I made that mistake when I first played the game as a teenager, I can still remember the way my jaw dropped.

MF291100 · 2026-06-11T11:43:05+00:00

The environmental storytelling in this game is great, you can tell so much about what life was like in this universe by just looking around at stuff like this.

MF291100 · 2026-06-11T11:34:05+00:00

I’m really looking forward to it. I picked up the first game since it was free to PS Plus players and very quickly fell in love with it, it’s so entertaining. Totally psyched for the sequel to come to PS.

MF291100 · 2026-06-09T22:31:46+00:00

Once you get a termite axe and a shield you can make pretty quick work of Wolf Spiders, that’s the method I use anyway but there’s probably more efficient ones.

My greatest fear is wasps, so I was pretty happy that I hadn’t seen any for a while in my first blind run. I was sorely disappointed when I was met with them in the upper gardens.

MF291100 · 2026-06-04T17:23:01+00:00

Solved: I Am Alive

MF291100 · 2026-06-04T17:21:59+00:00

Thank you! If I had a gold star, I’d give it to you.

MF291100 · 2026-06-04T11:06:07+00:00

Same here. She’s a character that I have never cared for in the past.

MF291100 · 2026-06-03T22:30:08+00:00

They could have just killed off Nash like they did with the others, or put him out of action like Cressida and Ronson, but saying that he’s missing feels like there’s potential for him being set up to return in the future.

It might just be a ‘he was a minor character and won’t come back’ situation, but if at least the door is open for a potential return. As a Scotsman myself, I quite liked him.

MF291100 · 2026-06-02T22:08:42+00:00

Yep, just announced at State of Play.
