My favorite subplot in disco elysium
That’s the kind of scientist I want to be. I wish it paid.
Those scientists aren’t mad, just dedicated.
Show me a field scientist that is injecting trees with a serum to turn them into sentient carnivores. Or one that is manually digging for uranium in order to fast track the eruption of a volcano. Or the one inventing Godzilla.
Not that pansy shit.
You’re walking through the forest, and some guy covered in mud stumbles out onto the cutline, fly bitten, frenzied look in his eye, and a dirty shovel on his shoulder. Oh wait that’s just me
No, I was just digging soil pits in yon shrubby fen. I don’t if you guys are looking for peat, but there’s a metric assload of it over there.
LOL, that was me last week. Got myself trapped in a swamp at the hiking trail, limped back covered in slime from the waist down.
Suboptimal. I’ve spent a shit ton of time in bogs and fens and it’s not a place you want to enter unprepared
I was very prepared. Just too dumb to turn around when I should have, bulled ahead.
There were some geologists (field work by my reckoning) from Massachusetts who went mad after an expedition to the Antarctic. The survivors came back mumbling something about a horrible thing from beyond the mountains.
was that expedition inspired by lovecraft or was lovecraft inspired by that expedition?
The expedition was not real. I was alluding to Lovecraft without naming him.
