#ds lore

Doesn't matter you're getting it anyway.

So, I was scrolling through all the character examination quotes on the DST wiki (not an uncommon pastime for me) and encountered the record and gramophone items which led me, a lover of random slice of life lore of these nerds, to wonder;

What music do these characters like?

So I flipped through the 4 records and each characters quote for them; taking note of who had positive or negative feelings about each (as well as little details I liked) so heres what I found.

Wigfrid is a sweetie, saying that she wants to keep the classic record (Ragtime) away so 'her ally' (Maxwell) doesn't have to hear it again. Willow on the other hand is a little shit

Maxwell and Wilson are both traumatized by Ragtime but Maxwell appears to have taken it much harder (which does make sense, he dealt with it longer)

Multiple of the characters have been haunted by Ragtime in some way, though they're not all sure when they heard it

Wurt is very picky and decisive about her music tastes, whereas Wanda has a very 'Kids these days' attitude about it and WX-78 doesn't like any songs.

The spider half of Webber's favorite song is 'Creepy Forest' but Webber as a whole also likes D.R style.

Wilson is fascinated by 'modern' record tech

Maxwell just doesn't like any music at this point

Wortox says he heard D.R Style (which is only used in some trailers) 'in a dream'. I don't know what this means but it feels notable, especially because he's the only one who mentions any familiarity with it.

Most to least liked goes 1. Creepy Forest 2. D.R Style 3. E.F.S 4. Classic

Doing a Doctor Who Au I've been playing around with for a while; some of the Companions have switched places with their Doctors, and vice versa! Featuring Susan as One, Jamie as Two, and Jo as Three! Art of the Doctors-as-Companions will be posted when I finish it!

Stuff from the twitter thread will be posted under a read more!

The bois showing off the teef. Probably the only hatboxes with sharp/carnivorous teeth whEEZE

fwiw: it’s intentionally vague, especially in comparison to the Metal Gear games (where characters will frequently go on 20+ minute minimum exposition dumps in cutscenes and over codec). You’re supposed to be confused for the opening chunk of the game. It’s not wrong to feel like Sam’s being yanked around on a leash and not told where to go.

Most stuff is explained in more detail, and some stuff is explained more via flashback/context clues/etc. It does get less confusing, I promise!

I'm pretty new to Don't Starve so I'm not sure how long glimmer has been ingame but it bears a striking resemblance to Rom, the Vacuous Spider

The design is uncanny. Glommer only appears during a full moon, descending from the sky, and leaves the same way. Rom can be found in a location called the Moon Side Lake, a vast endless lake that reflects the visage of a full moon. In DS glommer serves no real purpose besides restoring sanity at very close proximity. This as important as the player wants it to be.
