  • Don’t shampoo goats, they fuckin hate water and will be massive assholes about it

    Brush them every few days or so and they’re fine (that’s overkill but I like to let mine) and if something nasty gets on them soaking the brush with warm water usually makes them okay-ish with the water so you can get the gunk off em

    Baphomet, being a goat and from hell, is very similar I’d assume, but probably even more averse to water



  • I mean, he brought the marker back to the planet, which should be what the marker wanted, so why were they still attacking him?

    The marker wanted to stay off of Aegis VII, actually. Their entire goal (as we learn in 3) is to spread the Necro infection and eventually make a Brother Moon. It’s likely the marker kept attacking Isaac in an attempt to stop him from putting it back on the planet that was about to fall apart. Isaac’s mental infection isn’t hardcore until DS2, either, so he’s not being manipulated very hard yet

    Dead Space gets fucking complicated if you read the extended lore in all the games holy shit I sound insane

    Wait, is mercer the guy developing the invincible necromorphs, or is he the one helping you bring the marker?

    Mercer is the guy making the invincible Necro. In the remake he kills himself willingly, in the original he’s “betrayed” by the marker. The guy helping you is June, poor bastard


  • Dr Mercer was advantageous to the Marker to have alive and doing his work, so he isn’t killed until his usefulness has run its course

    Canonically: the markers try to influence people to do what will assist in Unification. Isaac vehemently doesn’t believe in Unitology so the marker throws enemies at him to try to stop him / manipulate him into doing what it wants (in DS2 & 3). Other people in the series are believers, so they don’t need to be killed off if they’re more useful alive for the time being

    Survivors lasting by staying behind locked doors isn’t too unbelievable, either, given the fall of the Ishimura took a while (1 month from marker discovery to it getting on board the ship), and you arrive not that long after it falls (less than a week). It’s been at most a week since she went dark, I think, which is a believable timeframe to survive given the comms going black is at least a day before the big fall of the ship

    Oh hey my memory was pretty close: Check the year 2508 section

    Other games absolutely pull that shit too much, but DS did a pretty good job with background story details to explain why some people aren’t dead



  • Mint CE for my desktop (might distro hop soon for multiple curiosity based reasons, all my data is on non-os drives anyway) - easiest to just get working when fast-swapping, IMO

    Debian for my server - it’s the flavor of Linux I’m most familiar with over the years & for my server I dont need any of the shit Ubuntu does

    STEAM OS for my Steam Deck (I use it as a TV PC so desktop mode is common with it), because it’s really good for that purpose








  • Like it’s worth mentioning how a lot of games already are well above $80 after DLC anyway, but I guess those games get a pass?

    They do not, at all. Though, what do you think games will cost if the base is $80 and DLC is still a thing? Cuz the answer is more than it does now

    Or just how fucked up most F2P business models are, exploiting whales to subsidize everybody else.

    Also discussed all the time and is, in fact, one of the reasons this new price becoming a standard is worrying as it’s not just F2P games that do this shit

    I’d rather play a game where everyone pays a fair price than one where addicts are taken advantage of and encouraged to financially ruin themselves

    We all would, but that’s not what we’re going to get out of the price hike and you know it

    But the way I see it, if Kirby Air Ride 2 costs $80, I’m willing to spend $80 on that game

    And you’re the problem. That becomes the standard for all games now that Nintendo has broken the seal with their nostalgia spell and you helped them. How about you just pirate it if it’s so important that you play it, rather than directly support the death of the industry?

    And I think ultimately, you gotta just buy the things that are worth it to you, skip the things that aren’t, and then chill the fuck out.

    You seem to live in a world where Nintendo aren’t making decisions that impact the industry. If Nintendo makes more expensive games OK to do then every game gets more expensive. We don’t get to be selective, that’s the whole point
