⚠️‼️ spoilers for all the SteamWorld games and warning for fast moving images!

Sometimes I think about how genuinely horrific SteamWorld Dig 1 is and then I have to move on with my day.

At the surface, this is a silly game. But when you peel back the layers, you get a horrifying story about a man losing himself in a post apocalyptic world where humans have devolved into mindless creatures and something deep, deep underground calls to you, lulling you into its world, baiting you into discovering it and assimilating. I could genuinely write an essay about it.

Tempest Morgan and Admiral Piston are a funny ass duo to me.

I like the fact that Morgan isn't afraid to stoop so low to get what she wants. She knows that Navybots love Admiral Piston and would do anything in his image. She knows that to grow her numbers, she needs him on her team. She's confident in her ability to sway anyone if all the pirate gangs she's united proves anything.

But Admiral Piston is stupid and egotistical. He would not do anything that may tarnish his looks, he's oblivious to Morgan's attempts at manipulation and kissing ass. To him, she's just another bot fawning at his feet. To him, she's just another bot looking for any excuse to be near him.

Morgan is so polite and formal until Dr. Bunsen interrupts. It would have worked, she would've been able to get under his plating had she not been interrupted. She's confident in this.
