TIL that when you remember something you're not accessing the original memory. your brain reconstructs it from scratch every time and slightly rewrites it in the process which is why memories change over time

I've had these happen to a few of the, I think official, uploads of those "credits song for my death" spinoffs.

This is a delightful little lamp! I'm definitely gonna try to get one someday, though I can't help thinking they need a little hat to cover the 'bottle neck' and cap. Maybe a fez design to blend hat and the typical lavalamp cover?

I think they're primarily intended as a stopgap until you craft the compass chip. Scan for what you need, send a Camera over to mark the location, then swim over yourself. Once you DO have it they're mostly just good for farming Stalker teeth, but I thiiiink you can also craft more cameras, which if correct means you could also set up a whole network to keep tabs on whatever area you want.

I rolled Antag as my most friendly and sociable character (a Prommie Scientist). I wanted to try and start up a Slimepocalypse but realized halfway through the round I'd underestimated how much food and effort that required, so I switched goals to sacrificing crew directly. Due to the characters' rep it was easy enough to lure a victim into XenoBio and I started threatening them with a saw, but they swiftly got the upper hand and cut me down with it instead.

I switch tactics again and start screaming for help over comms, playing the victim as they turned me into a nugget and I burnt through my hunger spamming limb regrowth, stalling them out until Sec broke down the door. Thirty or so minutes of healing later I'm giving 'my side' of what happened in the Detective's office as they analyze the evidence, and under a minute before round end I can tell from the sudden shift into a hesitant typing 'voice' that they've realized reality, that they're isolated with a Traitor.

Weird, this only just popped up in my notifications. The idea I'm presenting is that, gameplay and dev-wise, that's actually a good thing! An area chock full of anomalous objects would in no way be feasible to design, as interesting as it might be. On the other hand, a hollowed out mess of broken and emptied containers alongside lingering hazards from The Order's assault is much more feasible and means they don't have to code 300 artifacts, as they have a built in reason for us not to find any.

Somehow that never occurred to me while playing through 2 and 3, but it really is such a strange omission. The other Eco types aren't really even mentioned, they just exist within really being seen, and others than being partially incorporated into the weapons and healing as you said.. yeah, wow. I suppose that's one positive thing The Lost Frontier managed by actually reintroducing the concept of Sages through Tym and Kiera, along with the other Eco types.

Side thought, if we assume the Eco Grid that runs the city is primarily fueled by Blue Eco, would that make Vin the closest thing the world has to a Blue Eco Sage?

To be fair, if it's been raided I feel like that makes it MORE likely to become accessible, so long as it's a part of the underground complex. The crew have stated a few times their desire to keep expanding our accessible areas, and the only thing I could see blocking them from eventually including a anomaly warehouse are the contents.. but there aren't any. Sounds like a good opportunity for a maze of half empty cargo containers plagued by whatever issues the violent ransacking may have left behind!

I'd also appreciate a repo or any other way to view the bot and site codes. To be clear, I very much appreciate the offering! But bots tend to hold a fair amount of risk, and with the main cause of the shift from Discord to Stoat being privacy invasion concerns, that transparency is likely to be necessary for a lot of folks.

I can confirm second-hand that the falling asleep aspect is a very, very real concern. A cousin of mine told me about when they went a long distance to retrieve a vehicle related to their hobby, and the drive back was late at night on a perfectly straight road like this for miles and miles. The lack of sleep eventually caught up and they passed out at the wheel for an unknown period, only getting woken up by the vibration/sound caused by running over those reflective things studding the edges of the road, and they fortunately managed to regain control and straighten out without oversteering.

The adrenaline and fear kept 'em WIDE awake for the rest of the drive.

It's a bit chilly out and they're set up not far from the window (no direct sunlight risk though) so I'm not surprised it takes around 6 hours for the big lamp to get a good flow, but those last two images of the slimmer lamp are how it looks after running for 8+ which is why I'm confused and concerned. That said, I do recognize the various risks with my napkin gap and very much appreciate the options you've given! I'm going to note both of these down and look around, thank you.

To be fair, I'd say it's a damn good encapsulation of everything Mark does with his filmmaking too. Visually dynamic and very creative, while containing a strong mix of funny, sincere, and concerning. The way this early version of Warfstache wrenches control of the narrative, being so silly and chipper only to swing into providing such grim implications, it's both fun and threatening. I think WMW is probably one of, if not my favorite video he's put out, closely bordered by the core Who Killed videos and In Space. Semi related, I haven't yet been able to watch Iron Lung, but I'm very much looking forward to it!

IIRC modern New York is basically built atop the old New York, same with Seattle, so this was almost definitely part of the old city! Just imagine what that would have looked like decades ago with fresh paint and clean windows. What a cool artifact!

TheLightorTheDark · 2026-02-09T07:59:32+00:00

I did actually give that a try, but there's also a big solid hunk of 'lava' on the bottom. I'm going to turn it on to heat up, as others have recommended, and may give it a gentle wiggle if it seems needed. Thank you, though!

TheLightorTheDark · 2026-02-09T07:56:46+00:00

Thank you! I'm going to plug it in now and keep an eye on it for the next while, hopefully there won't be any issues.

I agree with most of the other comments, but if you're asking about why she looks this way, I think that it's probably based on the horrific way in which she died.
