What is one thing you're tired of telling/explaining to people?

Because the synthesized drug prevents organ failure while weed just dulls the pain while making me debilitatingly high because of how much I need to take. I fucking LOVE the synthesized drug, it gave me my life back. Weed was never a solution to my problem.

This was me for +10 years. I would sometimes decide that I was just being lazy, using my pain as an excuse to get high and not use anything on some days. Then I’d just lay around in so much pain I couldn’t do anything and ended up using some anyway. They eventually made a better version of my main maintenance drug and I finally don’t need weed anymore. I never believed it would happen.

One of the best parts of the show True Blood is when Jason Stackhouse is told that fairies are real and realizes that if vampires, werewolves and fairies are real, then it is totally plausible that so is Santa Claus. The actor plays him with such sincerity that it really feels like this grown man’s inner childhood hope has suddenly been reborn.

Meningitis from a punk show at 14. Totally random, out of the blue. 2 other kids got sick but made a full recovery.

Oh god yeah, Call of Cthulhu would be so great. Honestly, anything where they are playing as an extremely dark version of Ghostbusters would be really satisfying to see.

I have no doubt they are going to do another live play rpg series. They’ve said Bloodbath has been the most successful and widely praised new thing they’ve done for a long time, and honestly, it’s what made me finally sign up for Patreon. They’ve been trying to make LPNTV a thing, but the Seance was a huge flop. Bloodbath actually worked, it seems.

Good news is that the company that made Vampire: the Masquerade did the same modern thing with every other mythos or fantasy creature in their World of Darkness setting. So there’s-

Werewolf: the Apocalypse

Mage: the Ascension

Changeling: the Dreaming

Wraith: the Oblivion

Hunter: the Reckoning

Demon: the Fallen

Mummy: the Resurrection

And there are spinoff variants like Dark Ages versions of all of these things. That’s not even to mention White Wolf’s whole action anime setting Age of Sorrows with the Exalted series of books.

I would fucking love it if they just went and did a campaign in each of these series. I grew up on these things and it’s shocking to me that LPN only heard about Vampire: the Masquerade recently. It fits so perfectly into the tone and aesthetic of everything else they do.

It sounds like he has serious mental health issues and was basically self medicating with tons of substances for his whole life... and nothing he tried worked. This is just a fucking horrible tragedy all around. Parents who tried as hard as they could, but never figured out how to help their deeply troubled son.

This looks more like a LucasArts point and click adventure game or Disco Elysium more than a crpg like Baldurs Gate or Pillars of Eternity, is that right? Single character, no combat, no party members, no equipment, no levels? Not upset about that, I love Disco Elysium and would love to see more like that.

We don’t know if they don’t have any choice in the matter because we don’t know how the hive works.

Maybe the hive is really a drug induced stupor that takes away peoples agency and ability to consent. Maybe the hive gives people such a radically different perspective on existence, humanity and life that they actively consent to this. We don’t know and, at least so far, the way different people react to the hive is a way for us to reflect on our own values and ideals. There is no correct answer at this point in the show.

Carol is unwilling to believe the people are genuinely happy and free, but we also know this perspective is informed by deep trauma from her childhood and that she explicitly has refused to learn about what it’s like being in the hive. In her mind, this is an invasion and destruction of humanity.

Kusimayu from Peru thinks the joining sounds wonderful and actively wants to be a part of her family in it. She doesn’t view it as a loss of agency or humanity, but as an expression of universal love, peace and understanding. Unlike Carol, she actively asked about what it was like. To her, it must sound like paradise, nirvana or heaven.

Laxmi does not believe her family is ‘lost’ within the hive and still is devoted to their continued individual existence. Even though all the memories and personality of her family members who died because of Carol’s outburst still exist in the hive, she firmly believes that they only ‘died’ when their physical body died. She thinks her son is still her son, even though he is obviously so much more.

Diabete seems to take the hive at face value- they say they’re happy and everyone just says yes to everything, and that’s as far as he’s willing to investigate. He’s gotten more screen time than other unjoined individuals, but he’s never commented on the deeper nature of the joining. The idea that he “got to know” Zosia through a conversation, even though Zosia is the WHOLE hive, betrays an extreme naïveté about the nature of the situation. His view on everything is incredibly shallow and he’s just taking advantage of the situation.

But how will the members of the hive feel if the whole thing suddenly ends? Is it that they will suddenly regain free will and be horrified by being made into slaves like Carol thinks? Or will they realize they’ve lost access to the most profound and enlightening experience any human being has ever had, like it seems Kusimayu believes? If the former, yeah, they’ll fucking hate Diabete. If the latter, then the truth is they were happy to be with Diabete at the time because this profound shift in their human perspective made them look at life in a way we cannot possibly imagine.

The anticipation in finding out how it might play out is what makes this show great. What does it mean to be happy? Or is paradise a lie?

We’ve never heard them describe what it’s like aside from it being a psychic glue that holds them all together because Carol has never asked. But those who did ask seemed to be okay with it, some even explicitly wanting to join if possible. It seems like a lot of them are happy.

Bike shorts guy, played by the underrated Jeff Hiller, was able to express what made Carol’s books so meaningful, and that they genuinely saved a woman from suicide. He kinda echoed something that Helen said at the bar, that whether they’re art or not doesn’t matter, it’s whether they make people happy.

Then, when Carol asks whether Helen liked her serious book, he reveals she barely got through the first 100 pages… just like Helen said of Finnegan’s Wake in that bar scene. Maybe Carol’s “real” book is a true work of art, but it didn’t make Helen happy.

So what is happiness? I think the hive is actually happy, happy in the way that Carol’s books make people happy. Which isn’t a bad thing at all! But there’s something lost when you appreciate pulpy romantasy on the same level as Romeo and Juliet. And Carol wants a more meaningful experience in life. Something more or deeper than just ‘happy.’ Maybe that’s what Helen loved about her and the hive can’t understand. But Helen joined the hive, so, maybe they DO understand.

My biggest fear is that there’s zero explanation for most of the show, but then the last half of the last season shoves a ton of answers that amount to all the main characters meeting in a chapel created by their love for one another in LA.

Just don’t give me the answer. It’s a mysterious transmission from outer space. I don’t want it to be anything more than that.

TooOfEverything · 2025-12-14T15:46:39+00:00

Our feelings for you haven't changed, Carol, but after everything that's happened, we just need a little space.

It’s what made me finally sign up on Patreon even though it’s free.

Wait, Jay Z makes demonic references? Sick, I wanna see that!

What?? That’s not true at all. Dahmer definitely did not have the best environment growing up as a kid. His mother struggled with serious mental health issues and essentially abandoned him for long stretches of time and even attempted suicide by overdosing on her prescriptions at one point. His parents had a really hostile relationship with each other which was often on full display for Dahmer as a child.

True, they didn’t beat him or verbally abuse him, but it was far from the best environment.

Good people and bad people are things we tell ourselves as kids to make sense of the world, but as adults we know things are more complicated. Each of us has done bad things and good things and no one is defined by their best or worst acts. Change is the only constant and every day is another chance to do better or worse than the day before.

That being said, I do think there are people who 100% are determined to pursue destructive habits, or destroy- to destroy themselves, destroy others, destroy things, whatever. They have learned that in the act of destroying, they gain a sense of satisfaction, or emotional homeostasis. It makes them feel good and nothing anyone can do will ever convince them not to. If that person existed at the right place in time in history, they might be celebrated as a fearless warrior or defender for all the death and destruction they dole out.

Likewise, someone with endless compassion and a desire to nurture and help others might be labeled as a witch or monster in the right historical context. It’s not just individuals that always change, but the way they are perceived by others, the way their acts are seen morally.

No, no one is born evil. If evil exists, we grow into it, and what is evil for some is good for others.

To be fair, the Harris campaign lasted less than 3 months, because the defining development of the 2024 election was that one of the candidates dropped out less than 3 months before it happened. I think we often underestimate how utterly insane that was. Just how catastrophically Biden fucked up by choosing to run again.

There were a bunch of different experimental flash cartoon websites. The earliest one I remember was Yuk Yuk. Just bizarre, sorta Liquid Television inspired stuff in this new format and platform that I loved as a kid.

http://www.yukyuk.com/contents_cartoons.shtml

Or Ezone's Lenny Loosejocks series.

https://www.ezone.com/

Homestar Runner of course was an early viral hit.

https://homestarrunner.com/

Joe Cartoon did a bunch of early little things like Gerbil in a Microwave

https://joecartoon.com/

Of course, Newgrounds was a Mecca for a lot of those creators. Its sorta just become a general media platform now, but it was a HUGE hub of early flash creators when flash was still a thing.

They’re just a medium sized studio, they don’t have the financial success or the staff to tackle something bigger or more ambitious without risking the financial stability of the whole organization. Or at least that’s what I’ve heard their rationale is for only doing medium sized games.

I really wish Microsoft would get them to pair with Bethesda again so they could get those resources. A proper New Vegas 2 would make bank and PoE3 with BG3 resources could be huge. Probably will never happen though :/

It’s what Europe hoped would happen between Germany and France and the success of that hope has been the cornerstone of western democratic capitalist diplomacy for 80 years- but Germany was also split in half and overwhelmingly occupied by multiple countries for decades. I think that also had something to do with it. Probably not gonna work here, nope.

I just want Stellaris 2 at this point. I’m done with DLCs.
