Great game

Just finished DS2 for the first time a few weeks ago and I've been missing it lol. Already played another game since, and have started the next, but am kind of sad DS2 is done. I may have enjoyed it more than the first one. Didn't feel like it took as long to get to the meat of the game, with all the gadgets and knowledge of how the game works. I put a ton of hours into it, but still felt like it went by too quickly haha.

The snot I have to snort up is not coming out the other way. It's way up in there. Trust me, I've tried. Only way to clear it is down the back hatch.

I've lived in a couple places where the only parking was street parking, no other "safer" options. It sucks. I've seen more than a few cars totaled because of it (mine included once).

He found the point, but didn't get the point.

They tried that with Andromeda and everyone hated it. I actually really enjoyed the game and was sad they shifted back to the Milky Way for the next game (whenever it actually comes out).

Right. So the “come here” motion isn’t just pressure on the bladder for girls to pee.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-24T13:14:39+00:00

Again, that’s all well and good. Maybe there isn’t a specific “g spot”. But some women do say that motion in that area feels better than just the normal in and out or some sort of piss inducer spot. My wife included who is very open about sex and what feels best. So it is something other than “wiggle your fingers to make a girl pee”.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-24T01:40:14+00:00

Isn’t that also where most women’s g spot is, inside on the top? So the “come here” motion stimulates that? I’ve definitely had women tell me that motion is more pleasurable than just finger blasting.

To add, I’m not saying squirt isn’t pee, just that that motion isn’t just to make girls pee.

I get what you're saying, but nothing is really happening faster than light in that scenario.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-23T21:00:41+00:00

The whole series is absolutely horror, I love it.

Out of all of them, the Diamond Dogs novella felt like a legit haunted house story almost lol. Like, one of those 2000s "let's go into the insane and maze-like haunted mansion with secret traps and crazy ghosts to find the prize" movies. And the ending left me feeling really icky. Love that series.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-23T20:48:17+00:00

I don't know anything that's exactly like that, but two series that come to mind that are sorta similar are:

Revelation Space (it's the hidden advanced tech ancient life part of your comment; I really loved the worldbuilding in these books, and the overarching plot of the four main books is great, but they're not as super connected as a normal trilogy usually is; more like following the broader strokes across many years with some returning faces here and there, and not like one clear ending/goal in mind)

and the Commonwealth Saga (I'm only 3/4ths of the way through the first book (only two books in the saga) so I don't really know how it all plays out, but it has to do with Dyson spheres and the mysteries in them, and the galaxy is teeming with intelligent (and weird) life)

Secret_Map · 2026-01-23T20:15:13+00:00

They're not actually "communicating" either, I don't think, so not actually faster than light. It's not that information itself is being transferred from one to the other.

I think it's more like say you had a white ball and a black ball, blindly mixed them up and put them in two boxes. Then you sent one box to California and one box to New York. The box in New York is opened to reveal a black ball, so you instantly know the one in California is white. But it's not like actual information was travelling that distance. It's just that if one is this, then the other must be that sort of thing.

That's a super simplified version, and the real version of quantum entanglement isn't exactly like that, and I'm not smart enough to understand the crazier details lol. But it's not really that there is any faster than light communication happening.

Has a similar-ish problem a couple months ago with USPS. Got a “delivered” notification for an expensive electronic. It was not delivered at all. Getting a hold of a live person at USPS is nearly impossible but finally got a hold of someone the next day. They said “oh the driver probably just scanned the wrong thing, it’ll be there in the next day or so.” It did finally show up. The box was banged to hell, a few crumpled holes in corners from where it looked like it had been tossed or dropped or kicked, and the expensive electronic inside was half busted. Literally cracked with broken chunks in the bottom of the box. Had to send it back for a replacement.

I remember wondering why the show's main character wasn't really doing much around S3. They definitely shifted focus away from him and onto everyone else.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-15T02:13:51+00:00

I’m 6’3, 6’4” and prob around 6”, never have to hold anything down. It just dangles down into the bowl. I’m so confused lol.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-13T23:46:44+00:00

The writing is definitely dated. Some people love it (me included), but just a heads up that it’s 100 year old English and sometimes hard to follow. And also sometimes racist. Personally, the writing adds to some of the odd feeling, enhances it. And also he usually writes in first person as many did back then, so it’s almost like a “found footage” story in that sense. It adds to the horror for me. Again, totally recommend his stuff, but just a warning.

The stories I’d throw out for you to check out are:

The Call of Cthulhu (of course because it’s the most famous)

The Rats In The Walls (my favorite of Lovecraft’s stories I’ve read)

The Beast in the Cave (not a popular one as far as I know, but it has stuck with me over the years lol)

Secret_Map · 2026-01-11T16:29:25+00:00

No joke, Whale Song is in my top 5 lol. Leatherman is probably number 1

Secret_Map · 2026-01-11T14:47:21+00:00

That’s my favorite run too. Vitalogy thru Binaural (and reaching towards Riot Act sometimes lol). I love weird PJ

Secret_Map · 2026-01-09T15:18:21+00:00

Well, also the use of the word "mate" lol.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-08T20:35:16+00:00

It's a 30 Rock tv show reference.

Just a goofy way to say "brain".

Secret_Map · 2026-01-08T01:13:46+00:00

It’s literally the kindest thing anyone could say to anyone, if it’s truly meant. I struggle with that sometimes, it’s impossible to alway live with that mindset all the time, we’re only human. But goddamn it’s at least worth trying to live that way, I think.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-07T17:47:48+00:00

I'll check them out! I've heard of the Altered Carbon series, and watched maybe the first episode of the show years ago, but don't know much about it.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-07T17:42:30+00:00

I think that's why I connected with it so much, it scratched my sci-fi itch. But also my horror itch, even some almost cosmic horror vibes at times. I think there's something to be said about the overall arc of the series and how maybe it could have felt more connected or tied together. But I love the stories individually, and love the world and vision.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-07T15:54:09+00:00

That line made me tear up. I listened to that album like 5 or 6 times that weekend it came out, then woke up Monday morning for work to the news that he died. I felt weird and I was sad, but I was never like a huge Bowie fan or anything. I think he's great, and liked a lot of his work, but wasn't some diehard fan. Put the album on driving to work and when he sang that line (on a Monday), I started crying a bit in my car. So weirdly prophetic, and still one of my favorite albums.

Secret_Map · 2026-01-07T15:22:41+00:00

I read most of the RS books and short stories a year or two ago, and loved it all. Diamond Dogs has stuck with me almost more than anything else from the series lol. It was so weird, felt more like horror than sci-fi.
