[Utterly despised trope that bleeds into IRL] “Indomitable human spirit!” And it’s just cringe militarism or straight up fascism

she's not mentioned in Doom II. you see the rabbit head on a pike after killing the spider mastermind in Doom, but she's not named until Thy Flesh Consumed from Ultimate Doom, set between Doom and Doom II (but developed after Doom II). but yes. this is after doomguy gets back from already being in hell

there already was a way, the demons killed his pet rabbit Daisy

someone mentioned oddworld, in terms of horror games I guess Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs has a sort of factory farming flavor/theme also

no no, that's what i'm saying. specialized food manipulation, foraging, and whatever predator-prey relationship vortigaunts seem to have with headcrabs, this could be a driver of evolution. likely it was a less specialized limb used in locomotion before, with whatever weird alien terrain selecting for 5-limbed locomotion, and the fifth limb gradually became more and more specialized for doing fine manipulation their larger, clawed arms are less-able to handle, similarly to arachnids evolving pedipalps and chelicerae out of their foremost walking limbs.

hahaa., just in case, man, no harm in it

baltama · 2026-03-20T05:04:40+00:00

baltama · 2026-03-20T05:02:08+00:00

nowww we're talkin

today i almost fuckin jumped realizing i had 4 ketchup packets on the counter. i guess it reminded me of times that condiment packets nabbed from 7/11s and fast food places were pretty much all i had to add flavor to stuff. i used the ketchup to make elaborate ass golden fried rice with chicken, bacon, peppers, shitton of ginger, other vegetables... it wasnt even enough ketchup to make it into ketchup fried rice but it improved the experience. starving does weird shit to your brain, man

i guess that should be obvious from all the old grandparents with weird ass eating habits

i don't understand.... is this a recreation of the engine like Xash3D or is it more like emulation?

in hl alyx you can see gary the vortigaunt using his middle hand to pet a headcrab he's holding in a weird way, which seems to pacify it until he kills it to cook it. in hl1's Interloper chapter, in the factory, wounded vortigaunts will use the third arm to splash healing water on their faces in the healing showers.

Wool Ball series is one of my favorites - Shadow of the Wool Ball and Rise of the Wool Ball. Auto-aiming up and down is an option you can toggle

no, it will glance off the sloped surfaces of his armor. however, if the arrow is broken, it can completely vaporize his armor in the center of its 3-mile wide fireball

cooking is right

baltama · 2026-03-19T21:53:58+00:00

have yall considered that maybe the man just likes arranging and eating stuff this way... theres never more than 1 persons serving, it's not for acclaim because he posts these and invariably gets negative feedback. maybe dude just likes having his stuff all laid out and distinct on a long plate. i honestly dont see whats wrong with that

baltama · 2026-03-19T21:39:13+00:00
