nothing beats playing slime rancher and using the jetpack but I hit something and the POV tilts and suddenly im back in the trenches because a ghost just rammed the cyclops
i can turn into this thing at will
i dont know what he is but hes the first thing that shows up when i google beebo
zeekayart, with the power of phonetic pronunciation of letters, and general art snobbery!
I'm still obsessed with the idea that Vellioth and Astarion look eerily similar and that's why Cazador is more obsessed with Astarion than the other spawn.
i dunno if anybody else gets this but i just dont trust electric cars?? like not because "oh electric car bad!" but because I keep seeing some that dont have faces
like this (what comes up when I look up "electric car without grill" or "without face"). It just feels sinister. And the ones I'm seeing around me (i dont know what kind of car they are bc im not a car person in the slightest) are even worse.
cybertrucks dont come off as sinister because the entire thing just looks stupid and nothing like an actual car but these electric cars without mouths just bother me. its like the uncanny valley for cars
the minecraft movie but instead of the god awful cgi theyre using its all done like a mid 2010s minecraft roleplay video
based on a doodle i did in class. might come back and add a background but wabam. ryley robinson
This fanart is now the reason I wanna fuck Ryley.
ryley robinson hc moment
does anyone else ever
tumblr gang i highly suggest checking out the 2025 official website and look at their policies. not for any kind of "prepare yourselves blood mages" shit and more for a good laugh because. holy shit.
THIS SHIT IS HILARIOUS like the amount of people who wouldnt have voted for trump if they knew about this one in specific is hilarious
quick edit bc I forgot to say this and I find it hilarious: one of my friends, upon me telling him this, suggested people protest by jerking off to the debate
okay so the story is kinda reminding me of Space Station Weird. Its probably the "guy trapped on ship with weird ai and shit keeps getting weird also he has no idea what to do"
i got project hail mary yesterday so everybody better be ready for YAPPING!!!!!!!!
After finishing my most recent playthrough of Below Zero, while I was constructing AL-AN's vessel, I realized that there are some pretty major parallels between AL-AN and Sam that I think might tie in more to the story than previously thought. I had always felt Sam and AL-AN's stories were unusually disconnected. Still, after giving a little more thought, I think the parallels play a vital role in Robin's decision to go along with constructing AL-AN's vessel.
Both Sam and AL-AN caused terrible accidents by attempting to solve an issue in a way they thought would be best. They work under a very similar archetype in which a typically composed and rule-following character is stressed due to external pressures. Pushed into taking action. Sam caused Parvan's death and her own by disobeying orders from Alterra and trying to exterminate the last of the Kharaa. AL-AN caused the Kharaa to escape in the first place by doing a similar insubordinate action. Ignoring the directive from his network.
They not only both caused accidents resulting in deaths, but both revolved around ignoring a higher order involving the Kharaa bacterium. Doing something they thought would make a difference under extreme pressure. Irrational thinking ultimately causing disaster.
If you complete Sam's storyline first, it will lead you, the player, into be more open with feeling sympathetic towards AL-AN despite him manipulating Robin. Mostly because it is obvious he is extremely ashamed and is dealing with the sorrow of (potentially) losing his entire species. Though also because it is reminiscent of Sam.
But it is not just you who sympathizes with AL-AN; it is Robin herself as well.
Robin is dealing with a similar sorrow of losing her sister—who was everything to her—because Sam did what she thought would be right. She shares things with AL-AN, assuring him even when she is unsure of him. She knows he is going through his own hardships. Deciding to promote hope even in a time where it seems unlikely. After AL-AN admits to Kharaa getting out on his watch, Robin understands to a degree and offers to help AL-AN because she couldn’t help Sam.
AL-AN himself most likely understands this.
AL-AN begins to open up and trust Robin after she shares the Emily Dickinson poem. After she has this interaction with him, he often attempts to be more understanding with her. He is choosing to imitate Robin's hope. He does not fully understand human social customs, but he can recognize when Robin is conflicted about Sam's death. Even trying in his own way to comfort her. He is dealing with loss as well. Even if he doesn't outwardly show vulnerability until they talk in the Fabrication Facility.
AL-AN knows Robin is going through loss as well. The person she lost did something similar to him, and yet she does not blame Sam. Grief does not go away, but the wound gets smaller over time. She is relieved to get closure to Sam's story even if it still hurts.
If they hadn’t had the conversation about closure after Robin finished Sam's work via curing the Frozen Leviathan, then AL-AN probably wouldn't have revealed what he did at all. He didn’t have to, but he did because they had developed trust. He is, of course, reluctant when doing so, as he is afraid he won’t get his autonomy, yet he does despite it being illogical. Acknowledging his actions even when he predicted she’d be angry. Despite his shame, he chooses to place trust in Robin even when it could result in her pulling away. He trusts that she won't.
Below Zero is such a good story about loss and learning how to cope with that loss despite it still hurting. Learning to trust even when the odds of the circumstances are against you. It is a story about hope.
I adore this game so much
