Watching the fruit dream about killing his ex-lover to get rid of the love-sickness, oblivious to his extra heads' effortless ability to shrug it off in a turn, leading him to kill his only friend really cements the tragedy of this character.
I will admit that watching Tomato play Tarkov would probably be a one time thing as I know for a fact that he plays like me : Walking as slow as possible 90% of the time to avoid contact, anti-social build if you will.
I am still certain that Caves of Qud is the most fitting game for Tomato. The amount of oporunities it presents for him to role-play is outstanding. And he does such a good job of it too! I feel like I am watching a theater play, not a video-game VOD.
37:44: Well, to answer a question about what Qud _is_ , we have to know what it _means_ . Specifically, most of this game is a science-fantasy with a basis in retrofuturism, Frank Herbert's _Dune_ novels, a kind of technological Dark Age, following an Apocalyptic Event in Qud's past, and Middle Eastern Cultures. I say this because the word Qud is derived from the Arabic name for the City of Jerusalem; _al-Quds_ , meaning 'The Holy,' in reference to its crucial significance to the religious history of not merely the Muslims who named it thus, but also practitioners of Judaism and Christianity, in all it's forms (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, etc.), the whole trifecta of the Abrahamic Faiths. While it may 'seem' to be a one-off detail meant to tie into the heavily Middle-Eastern/ Levantine Culture that the setting borrows elements from, I posit that there are actually stronger indications that Qud is simply a Post-Apocalyptic Far-Future version of Jerusalem, with the most significant places in Qud having their names derived from real world locations in Jerusalem: Bethesda Susa is named for the real-life municipality of Bethesda in Jerusalem, where one of the more notable hospitals is located; Golgotha (quite fittingly named for a place of death, darkness, and suffering, as its name means 'Place of the Skull') was where Jesus was crucified after being betrayed by Judas, though in Qud's case, it's a Bio-Waste Dumping Facility/ Toxic Landfill, where people dump the infected blood, used catheters for collecting a patient's urine, used saline drips for feeding nutrients to patients that couldn't eat solid food while they were recuperating, chemical runoff from medical machines, discarded limbs and organs, unstable stim cells, aborted fetuses, stomach bile, blood-laced feces, and other medical detritus that can't be safely disposed of anywhere else, allowing the mutagenic gunk to fester and broil and stew in a nauseating, overglorified backed-up septic tank, birthing new plagues and scientific abominations from the garbage of the Eaters, the pure-blooded non-mutated humans who lived in Qud before abandoning it to seek out new homes amongst the stars; Lake Hinnom is a real-world lake to east of Jerusalem and was originally the place that many settlements got their freshwater from (those days are sadly past, now; but it _did_ have a jungle grow around it, with no one to tend to the over-forestation of the trees that grew along the banks; so a bunch of animals got new homes and vegetation flourished); and Joppa is the name of a small suburb in Jerusalem. Other names don't have any connection to real-world Jerusalem (Yd Freehold? The Moon-Stairs? Can't find them in any maps or encyclopedias, so I choose to say they were invented for the story of this game) which leads to two possibilities: 1.) These locations were established in the aftermath of whatever apocalypse affected Jerusalem, now called Qud, due to some half-remembered term nobody remembers anymore as literacy and oral traditions have, for the moment at any rate, been forgotten and neglected, as everything has fallen into societal disarray. or, 2.) These locations existed at the same time as the above-mentioned names, because Qud is not merely the name of Jerusalem... but rather, THE WHOLE PLANET. I say this because, remember how I mentioned earlier that the Eaters abandoned Qud to its own devices to found new homes on other worlds? Well, what if Qud wasn't their 'Home Planet' but rather one of many different worlds they colonized? They were called Eaters because, according to one source, "They were like locusts who descended upon new worlds they wished to colonize, stripped it of all its resources and/or scientific discoveries, and once they'd depleted it of everything that was of value to them, they quickly abandoned it just as quickly as they'd settled it, leaving behind some stragglers (their True-Kin descendants who took up their cybernetic augmentations and got to live in their more stable secure Arcologies, free from want or striving for anything), while whatever native creatures were present before the Eaters' Arrival began rooting around in their trash for food, and ate something that jumpstarted their mutations (or perhaps even evolutions) into their current forms, as things such as Glowfish, Agolmaggots, Chitinous Pumas, Snapjaws, etc. A few of the humans, dissatisfied with the complacency of the Arcologies and set out to explore the surface of Qud, developing mutations from the same pollutants and trash that altered the native flora and fauna, becoming Mutated humans, regarded with ambivalence by True Kin who choose to venture out into Qud for their studies or to relocate some lost technology... and outright hostility and genocide from the Putus Templars who regard the mutants as a eugenically inferior menace to both the physical safety and ideological purity of the non-mutated humans (they're basically 'Space-Nazis/ Space-Fascists' by any other name, and thankfully, there are some True-Kin who see them for what they are, rabid madmen and blood-soaked murderers, and refuse to support them, making the Templars just isolated weirdoes who hate everything that isn't "Normal" from their perspective).
A small tight-knit community of gene-salad mutants that practice a strict religious observance of contemplating the best place to nap. Sounds wholesome.
3:00:50 the good thing about it is that if you have a friendly unit that has leveled up you can alocate their points with that, because they would not do it (at least on previous versions)
Also, im pretty sure one of the mods you have installed (or perhaps it is base now) allows you to change your sprite, which is helpful when having clones! i don't remember exactly how, and its abit confusing, but just do a search for it and you'll figure it out. I had the same issue, ended up with like 4 colones and was perpetually confused as to which one i was.
When Tomato says he'll show a modlist, what he means is "Ill NEVER tell you what mods Im using, I do not believe mods, or modders, deserve any attention, and YOU don't deserve to have fun, I hope you die (in minecraft)".
Does anybody know if Tomato is going to play Space Station 13 again? I remember him saying like half a year ago that he was planning to do it again but I don't know if that changed?
I think that death at the end seems like unintended interaction. The whole point of precog is “looking into the future” at stuff that hasn’t happened yet. For it to go “actually nvm, that all did happen” is completely counter to the point of the ability.
save your books! Them things can make you a god one day. And make sure to read all of them. Some, plenty, in fact, will give you random stat increases. and there is a guy at six days' stilt who will give you exp for every single book you give him. Couple that with legendary book-dudes who respawn their inventory, and essentially, you have infinite exp. Unless it has been changed. It's been a while. Does take alot of effort and gametime to do, though, so i'm not exactly sure if it is an exploit.
Qud is a much more awesome game with mods. The community isn't nearly as toxically abhorrent as at it used to be and is pretty much only based in Discord, and is easily contained as a result. Reddit used to be way, way worse, but it's actually somewhat tolerable now. Espers are rad. Mutants in general are definitely how I'd recommend new players start the game. True Kin are where the game _really_ starts to open up, though, especially once you learn how to Mutate them.
