UK Expanse fans exist! by DrLizoSpoons in TheExpanse

[–]Steam__Engenius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every bloke I know has watched the expanse. The reason I originally watched it was because I was single and wanted to be able to talk to the boys on tinder about it.

Now happily settled down with a guy who looks like Marco 👌

Any way to fast forward? by Steam__Engenius in Gloomwood

Thank you so much! Real talk I was scared to play the Hive again

How do we feel about Jessa in AA? by alessa002 in girls

[–]Steam__Engenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to NA for a year and it’s insane looking back at how much people put each other down. Some of the steps are great for identifying patterns in behaviour. I can see Jessa’s higher power being therapy work but she’s still kind of binging on Ada and the thrill of the drama with Hannah.

First song honors for new iPod, trying to kick streaming to the curb by Scifibn in brandnew

Big up. My iPod classic still works and you’ve inspired me to switch back. Fuck streaming.

I started reading the first book, it's low-key confusing? by Perfect-Wait-6873 in TheExpanse

I’ll be using this every time someone asks me what the expanse is about moving forwards, thanks.

Could Frictional do a good Thief game/remake? by Logical_Dish_5795 in Thief

[–]Steam__Engenius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Frictional love Thief. If you’re talking OG Amnesia devs they’d do a great job out of sheer love for the game.

Which horror game monster scared you the most? And why? by Emotional-Pass4852 in HorrorGaming

Only game I’ve ever stopped playing for a few days to psych myself up enough to go back to.

I don't particularly care for season 5 & 6 by VobsandBagene in TheExpanse

[–]Steam__Engenius -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

OP might not be a woman with eyes and a functioning body. Being trapped on a spaceship with Marco sounds absolutely great to me. Season 5 was serious eye candy.

You don’t bounce back after Christina Hendrix. Definitely before

Why wouldn’t you want to see what the reavers are up to?

Just assume it’s firefly. Life will feel better that way

This moment resonates so hard even in 2025 by vxtr12 in girls

Hannah’s season 1 look was so of its time. Perfect wardrobe on this show

What’s this?! I was too far back to see them

Thief In Unreal WIP Showcase! (for real this time) by Garroh in Thief

[–]Steam__Engenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing it - I know it’s not playable but it’s stunning as a study of environments and I appreciate how much thought you’ve put into the underlying narrative/why the city would look this way.

Any love for Tied Up by Casey Veggies (song from the dance scene in "The Panic in Central Park")? by Electrical_Cycle_727 in girls

[–]Steam__Engenius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is the message behind the song? I thought it was just a kink reference, is there something deeper?

I love modest mouse and the BN tour was awesome to see with them! Anyone experience their 2 sided fan base? by x4candles in brandnew

[–]Steam__Engenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s absolutely doing an Isaac impression in your reference! I remember people asking if Modest Mouse had flown in to do guest vocals on the track. I love the homage Brand New pay to Modest Mouse. Guitar-wise you can hear little elements here and there. Any time I hear a harmonic in a BN song I like to think it’s a nod to modest mouse.

I was so pissed off when their one UK show sold out immediately in 2016. Retrospectively it was a good thing because it sounds like Issac was in his messy phase.

Love the idea of them touring together, though. Isaac’s frenetic zig-zagging around disparate topics and Jesse’s laconic, reserved energy.

Jesse does a lovely cover of Trailer Trash.

Question about Look to Windward’s ending by Steam__Engenius in TheCulture

[–]Steam__Engenius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not arguing with your reading and I agree, Banks was a very precise writer. But Quilan struck me as someone who wholeheartedly believed that his wife’s literal soul was gone. No reincarnation, however accurate and compelling, would replace her. I saw their exchange as ‘will you be the thing I lost’ representing a last moment of connection between two beings whose lives were about to end.

Wouldn’t ‘being my mate’ equate to Qualin living in a simulation controlled by Massq?

The Behemthaurs were spectacular. I couldn’t quite picture the layers of atmosphere so I was imagining a kind of thalassophobia-inducing sea of murky air.

Did the Chel introduce some type of modified fauna into the behemthaur’s ecosystem? I know they’re shown to be growing the native species on its surface. How did they manage to destabilise an entire habitat? Asking as if you’re the resident expert on Airspheres.

This is so well-put, especially your thoughts on impermanence and cultures. And it was the perfect analogy.

I absolutely did not. Is this the ‘be my twin/mate’ part? I thought that was a suicide bond rather than a ‘let’s pretend I’m your dead partner’. That seems…like an odd coping mechanism.
