[Spoiler] In my AC Odyssey game, there’s a stupid...

Not there yet myself, but since sleep deprivation is a very common torture technique, and we know for a fact that Deimos was tortured by Crysis since they were a kid - it is easy to see why he would have trouble sleeping. He probably still instinctively expects someone to wake him up each time he starts feeling sleepy. And Adrestia is full of people. I won’t be surprised if Deimos only sleeps when locked in the room alone, of when passed out from exhaustion.

😭 😭 😭  My poor insomniac baby!

That makes perfect sense, by the way. I wasn’t even thinking about that. All I was thinking was how weird that glitch was. (It was really weird, you see. He’d walk to a spot, sit down, get back up immediately, run to another spot, walk back to the same spot, and start the whole process again and again. That’s why I was pretty sure it was a glitch.) I do have a headcanon that his sleep pattern is all messed up, but your observation about sleep deprivation as torture technique makes it so much more heartbreaking. I can’t go back to thinking of it as a silly glitch anymore.

On a slightly related note, this reminds me of what I posted a while back: "I have a headcanon that in Assassin’s Creed games, the glitches aren’t actually glitches. They’re actually in the memories of the Assassins (or the Templars), whose minds have drifted toward insanity after years of loss and killing." Maybe that's the case with this 'glitch’.

@panimauser​ (thankyou!) kindly alerted me to the fact that there was an update available for Andromeda on PC, then I looked on Twitter and saw this [x]. The file size for me was 288MB.

If you can’t update, right-click on the game’s cover in your game library in Origin and click “update game”.

*grandma’s voice* CHICKEN SOUP!!!! (get well soon!)

I have mushroom soup, will that do??

I listen to Christmas songs whenever I like too)) If it is a good song - why listen to it only a certain time of year?

He is so shredded!

He is :’DDD But look at this Seth, even more shredded, lol!

I wish I remembered the source of the saying... But someone once told me in regards of originality: for all fantastic creatures Western culture created, from mermaids and dragons to chimeras and gargoyles, no one withing of thousands years of WU culture came up with kangaroo. 

I vaguely recall the convo was about 'how to make aliens truly alien', and the point was that we cannot create anything truly alien, because everything we do is based on our own experiences so of course you cannot create characters outside your own experiences. it might be something that happen to you, it might be something you only read about, or saw in a movie, but ultimately it became part of your life experience either way

We are like a sticky bun. If it rolls off the table - even if you pick it up after just few seconds - the dust and other particles will become part of the bun, and scraping them away would strip the bun of its own sweet sticky glaze. so the longer you live, the further you travel, the more 'dust' you pick up. That's why mature writer's characters might seem original - inspiration could have come from interaction even the writer does not remember anymore.

EXACTLY! It can be something very subtle within you which affects your character creation, but it’s still part of you. It is exactly the same thing with to what you can relate, what you prefer, what you don’t like etc.  

For example, if I use myself, I do not create nor consume love stories where characters can’t decide between love options A, B and C. That’s not something I’d experienced, not something any of my friends would have experienced and I’m generally “All or Nothing”-person, who doesn’t need to double guess if I love someone or not. Well, usually I don’t love anyone in romantic sense, thus pinning and achy “Oh shit, I might have feelings...!”-stories work for me.
