think I'm just going to spend all of today hiding from awfulness in Monster Train

or sleeping but that seems far less likely tbh

tfw you wanna devour souls but you don't wanna get out of bed

re: Halo spoilers 

@outie Wait, did Master Chief release the flood?

I could've sworn the setup for the first encounter was preceded by meeting a traumatized marine who mistakes you for a Flood Gribble, surrounded by the bodies of all his pals. I thought the Covenant let them out?

..More likely my memory is being a blip and it has been too long since I played that game

*wanders off to install Halo*

Really wishing we hadn't as a culture decided to just smush every forum topic into one mushy blend, then spent the next decade inventing worse ways to differentiate posts by topic again without breaking the Infinite Scrolly Page archetype

*pokes brain*

Awaken

*pokes again*

I demand it

tbf Black Rats are "Rattus Rattus", so "Piscene Lobe-Finned Fish" is an entirely reasonable clade

"It's so silly that the scholars in Monster Hunter classify almost everything you run into a subtype of Wyvern."
"Every irl land vertebrate is a subtype of Lobe-Finned Fish, though."

@Moot@snouts.online oh, my gist was just "it's good to hear 1 has subtitles", stuff about 2 was just context

I make words badly sometimes

@Moot@snouts.online Yeah, I ran into that and just 90% of the audio's incomprehensible, so I was very gloomy when I heard 2 got the same "what is accessibility lol" treatment

This sounds workable, though!

I think my brain's been on a "the concept of 'nature' is hella weird" kick lately more than usual because of playing the Monster Hunter World expansion a lot

which is like, the worst possible example for this kinda discourse but apparently my brain will take anything as a jump-off point to waffle about cultural narratives or sth

@Moot@snouts.online Ooh, Halo 1 has (full?) subtitles? That's cool!

Still, seems like Games Workshop order is arriving later today, which is nice. Soothe me, tiny plastic dinosaurs.

re: meta 

@ThreeLetterMax@elekk.xyz it tickles me that this post is my first exposure point for this

re: meta gripe 

@witchfynder_finder Yeah, I've yet to see a plan for a practical way to hit rewind on the entirity of 20th century civic planning, or for rural communities to still.. exist.. at all.

meta gripe 

People should experience sitting on public transport in a manual wheelchair for a few hours before yelling 'ban cars'

You don't even get a decent parking brake, let alone brakes proper, so get a railing in a nice cozy deathgrip for the next few hours
