Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Toxic plastic trash Souls with random fires everywhere, dead trees and smogged out skies that occasionally reveal a sun that burns your flesh. Occasionally, a distant plane will fall, burning out of the sky, leading to loot. Toppled skyscrapers are in the distance here and there with some of it going into the mud due to nature's overall death. Litter the place with a few toxic rivers full of garbage, with burning smokestacks in the distance among thousands of miles of shack-houses.

No guns, because by this time everyone will have willingly lent over their 2nd Amendment rights, just lead pipes full of screws and Stop Signs replaced with giant buzzsaws. Throwables would be molotovs and grenades made of leftover fireworks.

The 'lord souls' if you'd like to call them that, would essentially range from gang lords for mid-bosses leading to capitalist overlords by way of metroidvania-style exploration of their dens of pure malice and spite.

Craftable items would be bolstered by finding various Anarchist Cookbooks.

Good to hear the story is good!

The end definitely set up for a third act. Hopefully it gets made.

Not too much of a cliffhanger I hope? As a PC player I likely won't ever play any further sequels :(

I think it ends sort of like the first one. It wraps things up but also sets up for a third arc.

Maybe "cliffhanger" is the wrong term. It has a conclusion but doesn't answer all the questions.

You can always watch the cut scenes on YouTube if you want to finish the story without playing it.

I will say, having to wait like 5 years (4 or 5 ?) for the 2nd game (I'm on PC too) , was kind of lame.

Like waiting 5 years for the 2nd book in a trilogy.

I felt like I couldn't remember details from the first very well. Ended up watching a video of the cutscenes to refresh my memory before playing the second.

I'm fine with that. Thanks for the details!
