So I'm a new Subnautica blog. Here's some stuff I wanna talk about:

Is it possible to apply real world physics to Subnautica, including things like how scuba diving works, and the risks of decompression? I think it is if Planet 4546B has less than a third the gravity of Earth. I have thoughts. I've been doing math! Edit: here's my thoughts.

Eating nothing but fish and raw vegetables isn't a great diet! What recipes can you make with the ingredients available in the games? Are there things that you could potentially eat with a little preparation that aren't available in the games? I've been coming up with recipes using real world analogues for game ingredients. This is much easier in Below Zero than it is in Subnautica, so that's where I've been focusing. Edit: Here's some initial thoughts about this. Here's some recipe ideas.

There's a certain point in the games where everything gets way too easy. I'm writing a story set in Below Zero where Robin experiences a series of catastrophes that leave her without fabrication technology. She has to homestead it. I've been trying to figure out the logistics of that.

There's a document in Below Zero which you can find in the Mercury II which mentions cooking with a jailbroken fabricator. Fabrication tech is really fascinating once you stop to think about it. It's an atomic rearranger. How would you go about cooking with one? What else could you do with it? Edit: Here's my thoughts on fabricators.

There's an entire conversation to be had about whether uploading brain patterns really preserves a person, or whether it just makes a copy of a person and the original person dies. (See also: the Star Trek Transporters are Actually Murder theory.) I haven't seen anyone talking about it! I want to hear Al-An's thoughts on it! Edit: Here's a mini fic I wrote about a conversation between Al-An and Robin on the subject. Alternatively, here's my Ao3 Subnautica series.

And of course I'm always interested in worldbuilding: Architect society, Alterra society, further details about the biology of aliens, what living with an alien in your head is actually like, all of it!

That's what I've been doing these last couple of days. Has it ever happened to you when you finish something and you're like. Uh, it's pretty much done. And then someone comes along, peering over your shoulder and with a gentle hand and kind eyes and pity-laced voice say "... no, my friend, it is very much not done."

Because that's what is happening to me! 😄 But instead of one single person, it is my AMAZING testers.

I have a multitude of notes and google docs and screenshots to go through. Opinions and valuable feedback and more than fair criticism. It is all helping me make this game as polished a gem as I possibly can, and I cannot thank enough everyone who is working with me.

I'm just done struggling with a continuity error that was way too hard for me to figure out, and while I now have a headache, I am also very happy to say it is solved.

So, that is it! I've been editing the Rose whenever I have the time. Getting it ready for the publishing queue. The goal for next week is to have gone through all the typo and grammar corrections, as well as continuity errors and bugs to focus on the more writing side of editing - add choices, change some scenes, etc.

I want to upload a new version of the game for my testers to go through on Wednesday - let's hope I can make it! 🤞

Do not stop enjoying your otp because I hate them. My posts are for those who hate the ending/pairings and boruto. I want to rant along with my fellow antis, and get their view on why it sucks.

I support people’s choice of otp. I have some stupid ones myself.

I also support people’s right to dislike an otp and rights to rant about it, as long as it’s tagged properly.

Dear Writers, 

 The world is in chaos. We are in fear and we are isolated. Which is hard to process, and carries a lot of emotions and thoughts and unexpressed reactions. 

I want to invite you to write me an email.  Like an old fashioned letter.  Tell me your expereinces  like you are writing to freind whom you haven’t seen for a while.

I will personally reply to every single email I recieve. In these trying times we need each other. I need your letters, the more expressive, the more poetic, the more real you can be, more you will enrich us both. I am happy to write about your life, my life, covid-19, art, poetry, writing, writing advice, memes. Anything. 

 My email adress is [email protected] 

Hope to hear from you soon, 

Wash you hands, and stay home

Love Span, love Manicpixiedreamboots. Love Mania.
