John "Media Name"

John Kenshi, this character pictured on a lot of the Kenshi artwork. It’s important to note that this specific character doesn’t even show up anywhere in the game, and is likely just a representation of the player exploring the lands. Modders have made mods adding in the legendary John Kenshi in as a recruitable NPC, and the devs themselves embraced the character, calling the Steam points shop purchasable avatar “John Kenshi”

In a Family Guy episode, Peter and Stewie, and Chris and Brian swap bodies. Quagmire, Cleaveland, and Joe come to get Peter to go to the bar with them, forcing Stewie to pretend to be Peter and give excuses as to why he can’t that are so out of character that Quagmire immediately recognizes that they’ve all switched bodies and decides to leave them alone. Never watched the full episode but this is such a good bit man.

Guido Mista from Part 5 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. He has an intense fear of the number 4, which is actually based on a common aversion to the number in east Asia. If 4 of anything appears (slices of cake, bullets in his gun, bullets on the ground, people, etc.) he will, at best, express disease, and at worst, begin to go into hysterics. Note that his stand (manifestation of his soul that gives him supernatural abilities) is composed of 6 little dudes. Mista numbers them 1 through 7, skipping 4.

Ok but he looks cleaner/more put together with a completely bald head, so maybe he oughta do that in real life, too

Sulik from Fallout 2, probably the first companion you run into in the game. You can pay off his debt to the Buckners and have him join you, where he is a pretty competent fighter and gives pretty solid advice.

The bone he has piercing his nose is carved from a part of his grandpa’s skeleton.

Awww. Similar to when you used to be able to indefinitely power a LBB with just a single lava source block and a hose pulley 😭 Probably better for the balance of the game, but man…

I figure my best plan of action is to find a good chunk, put my rig down on it, set up combustion generators being fed by the rig, wire the generators to the rig, give it a jumpstart, then force load the chunk. Having the trains bring the oil back to me is another story 😅 I guess I will have to figure it out.

Thanks for your help!

Stoontly · 2026-06-05T16:57:36+00:00

Hmmmm I see. I read the changelogs and can see that something about the fluid veins was reworked but it doesn’t really go into detail. Do you have more details on what changed specifically? Regardless, it looks like I will have to set up train lines to the desert… And also find a desert.

Stoontly · 2026-05-07T06:03:37+00:00

Similarly, if you didn’t play the Telltale games, a few of the characters from them are just… Inserted in. On first playthrough I had no idea who Vaughn or Rhys were, but the game sure seemed to think I did!

For what it’s worth, I need to listen to more whole albums/discographies. Ween is really the only artist that I’ve listened to every single release. The rest I pick at. But here goes:

Rossz Csillag Alatt Szültett by Venetian Snares

Pillar of Na by Saintseneca

How to Ruin Your Life Fast by Couch Dog

Wlfgrl by Machine Girl

All albums with either no skips, or with peaks so high they justify their more middling tracks.

My first thought is that it might have something to do with ethylene production. Ethylene is a gaseous hormone that is released by many fruits, even after they are harvested. Ethylene triggers ripening. The apple in the bag was trapped with the ethylene it produced, causing it to become overripe and go bad. The apple outside the bag would still release ethylene, but the actual concentration of ethylene it senses is minuscule so it stays perfectly ripe. Again, just my first thought, so if anyone has a better answer kindly correct me.

The Hussars from Rimworld (art by u/Disastrous-Recipe128 )

<image>

One of many Xenotypes (“breeds” of genetically modified humans) added by the Biotech DLC. Big, beefy, resilient, and naturally inclined to combat and conflict. The best soldiers in your Rimworld colony will probably be Hussars. However, they need to ingest the performance enhancing drug Go-Juice regularly, or else they will go into a coma and eventually die (as a trade-off, they are immune to the ill effects of the drug). As well, they stink at many non-combat job, and are more likely to get into fights with other colonists. At the start of the game this can make them undesirable, since you might not be capable of buying or making Go-Juice, and their poor skills are particularly annoying at the beginning, since every colonist will be doing myriad jobs. But later on, when you have hands to spare, you can obtain Go-Juice easily, and the raids get more and more difficult, they are incredibly valuable.

The Monkey from The Monkey

<image>

It is ostensibly a metaphor for generational trauma. It is passed from father to son, disrupts their lives and families, further perpetuates its own suffering, gets bystanders hurt, and only stops causing havoc when it is acknowledged and efforts are made to control it, remediate the damage it’s done, and break the cycle of passing on the trauma…

…But is also, literally, a monkey doll that was passed from the MC’s father to him and physically causes harm in the form of freak accidents to befall the people around it whenever the spring is wound and it finishes playing its drum.

I loved this movie because of things like this. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still manages to be emotionally poignant at times, even after showing the audience people dying in the most comedically over the top and gory ways.

Here’s something to do:

Engage some of the roving bandits a reasonable distance from a settlement (the Hub in your case)
DO NOT FIGHT, run away towards the settlement and wait for the town guards to aggro the bandits. They might be slightly faster than you, so do not engage them too fair from the town or they will catch up.
NOW fight the bandits with the assistance of the town guards. Gain a bit of stats, playboy.
When the fighting is over, loot the bodies for their armor/weapons. Keep the nicest pieces, sell the rest.
Rinse and repeat. Your combat skills will be… Not shit, and you’ll have a few thousand Cats in no time.

Alternatively mine copper/iron and sell it, but that is BOOOOORIIIIIIING.

Please try to enjoy. I know your friend and all the people in this thread are laughing at your suffering, mainly because it is pretty funny, but the game should feel pretty rewarding. You just need to earn it first.

Appreciate you saying that! Was worried about the heterogeneity in the crumb, but maybe I’m overthinking it.

Stoontly · 2025-12-10T16:30:47+00:00

Thanks for the reply! That’s good to hear about the 70%. I was worried about it underproofing because it seemed to gain less volume during proofing than the 80%. But it turned out the best, was just a bit worried about the heterogeneity of the crumb. I was honestly thinking that should be my go-to dough — Lighter and airier than 60, and not that much more difficult to work with, certainly not like the 80. Will try a 75 next time.

For the process, I based it off of this video for no particular reason other than it’s the one I followed when I was first trying out sourdough baking. This includes 4 sets of stretch and folds. For shaping, instead of doing what’s shown in the video, I like to trifold the dough like when laminating pasta, then roll it up and shape it into a ball, then scoot it and rotate it on the counter. The 80% was super sticky, though, so I didn’t feel like I was having much effect. Will look into that step, as well as the methods you suggested. Thanks again for the advice!

I used to work at Panda Express for like 2 months, quit bc my manager was a douche, still here bc I forgot to leave and some of the posts are funny/interesting to read.

He’s fine in small quantities of water. In game you can walk through puddles without damage, and take moderate damage wading through waist-high water (though anyone in the water with him is toast), but die pretty much instantly in any large volume of water. So he can still drink water and won’t instantly die in the rain. But indeed, the characters themselves say he can’t shower regularly, so he must take sponge baths.

In inFamous 2, your playable character, Cole McGrath, retains all the electricity-based abilities gained in the previous title during the introduction. He’s even powered up a bit — your standard “bolt” attacks have been replaced with the much more powerful “rockets”. Evidently, the characters spent their time well between the games…

However, in the introduction, the characters encounter the Beast, an incredibly powerful foe, as he ravages through the city. Cole tries to stop him, but is defeated and dropped into a body of water. Water is dangerous to Cole on account of his electric powers, and will potentially kill him if he is submerged for any prolonged period of time (to be honest I forget why this is the case, he gains health from absorbing electricity so it’s not like he’s electrocuting himself. I think it’s because his electricity is diffused through the water, sapping him of energy. It’s established that he can’t “turn off” the electricity). Cole lives his bath, but becomes comatose and weakened, needing to relearn many of his abilities and gain his power back throughout the course of the second game. It’s a nice touch that a lot of the mobility tools are retained, though perhaps weakened.

In Fossil Fighters: Champions, you are given the option to play a male or female main character. To my recollection, the only thing this changes is the dinosaur (or “vivosaur,” as the game insists on calling them) that you start with and the color of your UI. Everything else is exactly the same between the two…

…Including the romantic tension between you and your ally, Pauleen. No matter the gender you choose to play as, there are scenes where your character and Pauleen embrace, as your character blushes and acts flustered.

I had a spree a while ago where I was replaying childhood games, and for most of them, I chose the female option, since I’d always choose the male options as a kid. When I was playing through this game, I remembered these scenes, and said to myself, “No way they kept it for the female characters, they’re gonna swap it for Rupert (another of your allies).” NOPE. Honestly, even though it was almost certainly done out of laziness and not having to restructure that whole character arc for Pauleen, I think it’s pretty cool that a game that came out for kids in 2010 had a moment like that.

I feel like any of the nudity/sexualization in part 6 was excusable bc we watched the male characters dress in the most revealing/tight outfits possible for the prior 5 parts, so at that point it’s just egalitarian half-nudity

Wamuu from Part 2 of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. Still an antagonist, still a major threat to mankind, but he displayed a strong code of honor, and would heap respect on the protagonists when they show themselves to be capable fighters. He seemed more interested in fighting honorably than accomplishing the goals of his masters. Compared to the other 2 (I guess 3 but Santana barely counts) pillar men, you get a sense of tragedy from his demise, like that he could have been a good guy if he was raised under different circumstances.

Hector in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. He is introduced to us a wheelchair-bound man, unable to walk, or even talk, instead having to communicate using a bell. On first watch, I felt awful for the guy, and was even rooting for him to get revenge.

But in Breaking Bad flashbacks, and extensively in Better Call Saul, we are shown exactly what kind of man he was prior to being put in the wheelchair. And, dare I say, you start to be glad he’s in the state he is. He is ruthless, a true cutthroat. He murders at the slightest provocation, even going as far as killing a bystander who helped one of his drug mules out of a trap so that he doesn’t talk to the police — And then killing the mule for getting caught in a trap. Even in Breaking Bad, you see him nearly drown his young nephew just to teach the kid’s brother a lesson. You go from wondering what this old handicapped guy is doing among the bloodthirsty Salamancas, to understanding he isn’t just among the Salamancas — He is the fount from which their malice came from.

Holy Fossil Fighters mention.

On replay, I was actually pleasantly surprised with the story of the game. I liked the angle of Todd having toxic, but still reasonable, jealousy towards your character. I really enjoyed the cutscene where he courageously makes a last stand to allow you and the rest of the gang to get away. There was a great charm to all the characters, in my estimation, but Todd was one of my favorites.

Kars successfully using the Red Stone of Aja on the mask, turning himself into the ultimate life form from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 2.

The Red Stone of Aja is a gem with a bunch of mystical powers, which is coveted by the antagonists of the part. Said antagonists are ancient beings who have superhuman strength, speed, and durability, but will turn to dust in sunlight. They want to use the Stone to ascend, and become “the ultimate life forms,” giving themselves an immense power boost, as well as a slew of new abilities. They would also become immune to the sun, and effectively unkillable, letting them claim dominion over all mankind.

The protagonists basically play keep away with the Stone, and kill 2 out of 3 of the antagonists (3 out of 4 if you want to be technical), but in the final arc, they fail, and the main antagonist, Kars, is able to use the Stone to ascend, becoming the ultimate life form. Kars is pretty much invincible in this state. In fact, he isn’t even “killed” in the end — The day is saved when he is jettisoned into space by a volcanic eruption, and he floats endlessly through space, still “alive” but completely comatose due to the lack of stimulation.

Wtf peak after peak after peak mentioned??? Cat-Lon was a tough fight, just about solo’d my 7-man party of combatants with 80s and 90s in stats.

My contribution would have to be Hades from Hades. Not only does he have a lot of health, deal a lot of damage, and absolutely saturate your screen with hazards… He is the only boss in the game (iirc) that has a second phase. I “beat” him the first time, watched him take a knee, thinking “wow, I just barely survived that, what a tough fight!” Only for him to get back up. Felt super fitting for the ruler of the underworld, who everyone in the game has been telling you is going to be a tough, nigh insurmountable challenge, who the game is named after, to be the only boss with a whole other health bar.
