#fishing and/or trains

[bluntshavingrazor]

Five more games I played recently on Steam, rated entirely by if they involve fishing and/or trains.

Before I begin: I have since completed Grounded and it involves no trains. My rating stays at 0/5. The ziplines, especially the improved zipline that can go up- and downhill is sort of like a cable car which is maybe similar to a train, but there are no points given for that level of disassociation.

KENA: BRIDGE OF SPIRITS

Like Grounded in the last post, I have not actually finished playing Kena because it is a combat focused Soulslike game and I suck at those. So pending any further news, I'm going entirely on what I have experienced. Kena herself cannot actually fish, but there is plenty of fishing equipment left lying around and fishing appears to be a significant source of food for the villagers. 2/5

No trains, which is probably for the best because this is a very picturesque mountainous forest environment and a train track, while nice in its own way, probably wouldn't gel with the classical Southeast Asian themes they've got going on. Still 0/5

SUBNAUTICA

This is a game entirely about diving deep onto a planet covered in an endless ocean, and discovering all kinds of strange and exotic fish, which you can eat. You'd think it would be a 5/5, easy peasy. Sure, you probably could play through the game without catching or eating a fish, there are other foods available, but good luck with that. Same deal with Raft, and I gave that a five. Unlike Raft, Subnautica does not have a fishing rod. You just swim up and catch them. It gets a 4/5.

Again, no underwater train system. I'm expected to believe this alien civilisation can build a doomsday device capable of destroying the planet but not a working public transit system? 0/5

SID MEIER'S CIVILIZATION VI

Fishing Boats are one of the main Improvements in the game. If you're playing on a map with any significant amount of water, it's gonna be tricky to not have at least one somewhere. 5/5

W-why are there no trains? Where did my railways go? All I have is roads, there used to be an upgrade to railways later in the game... Civ 5 had trains. The Steam Power technology even has a picture of a train on it, why is the train not there? 0/5, and if I could give it negative marks then I would. Screw it, -5/5 for removing the trains. Yes, I know the Gathering Storm DLC adds a Railway improvement, I don't care. That's not what I was playing.

CORE KEEPER

Fishing is not only a source of food, not only a source of unique items, and not only has its own skill tree, but it is also mandatory for game completion because one of the plot relevant bosses has to be fished for. 5/5, and even the faintly irritating minigame involved doesn't lower that. You can turn it off anyway.

Trains are not so much; there is a minecart system but it's not really industrialised. You can get two varieties of minecart, neither are powered and neither connect together with other carts into a train. 4/5

THE CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND

Guybrush does not go fishing, not does he use a fishing rod for any kind of hilarious puzzle solving. 0/5

There aren't any trains per se, but there is a roller coaster towards the end of the game which is close enough. It's only in the last chapter of the story and you actually spend most of your time jumping in and out of if to get to different areas, but I guess if you really wanted to you could ride around in it for a bit more while LeChuck chases you. 3/5

Here, take this

Thousands and thousands of animated shows, subbed anime and dubbed anime. All for free. I've never gotten a pop-up ad. Think of any animated show you want to watch and it'll probably be one there.

For example I watched .hack//sign over a decade ago and I want to rewatch it soon. They have the dub for every .hack// anime on there!

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

okay but hiccup and snotlout are totally the type of cousins to just randomly enter each others room, say something mildly disturbing, and leave without closing the door

[thereweredragonshere]

We are NOT brushing over that little reunion scene between Hiccup and his dad in Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Young man

LOOK HOW HAPPY HE IS!!! AHHHH

And the just the whole scene of him flinging him around in the air C’MON WE ALL KNOW HICCUP SECRETLY LOVED IT

AND THE HANDS AND THE PHYSICAL AFFECTION FOR TOUCH STARVED LITTLE GREMLIN BOY ARAGAHAGAHGRRRRR

AND THIS. THIS IS MY SECOND FAVOURITE SCREEN GRAB OF ALL TIME. THEY ARE SO ADORABLE.

I HAVE AN ACTUAL ISSUE WITH PARENT CHILD RELATIONSHIPS. IT IS ACTUALLY THE CUTEDT THING EVER. AND STOICK IS FUCKING KNEELING DOWN AND HE’S STILL TALLER THAN HICCUP

being in a small fandom is like being given a bone, chewing on it until you're done with it, burying it in your backyard, and then digging that same chewed up bone months later to continue chewing on it, and then the cycle just repeats.this is especially true for small fandoms that you know won't be getting any new content, so you just have to consume the content you've already consumed thousands of times before.
