[noxumboots]

Something about Subnautica being a horror game. About 4546B being alien and hostile and wanting to kill you. Thoughtless, ruthless, "this planet is cursed".

And then you meet the Sea Emperor, and this corner of the ecosystem speaks. She is warm, and clear-minded, and understanding. And she says, "Others trapped me here because they were afraid. But if you listen to me, I will help you."

And you've fought tooth and claw to be here, against enormous odds, against the planet itself. And in fighting with it, you've utilized it. Taken its raw materials and formed them into assets to your survival. Stolen nutrients from fish and plant and filtered water straight from the sea. Metal is your instrument, glass your asset.

You've learned the patterns of the predators here. Ghost leviathans are territorial. Stalkers are more interested in scrap metal. Reapers hunt by echo. You know these creatures now, they are your neighbors. You are as alien as they are. If you could eat their meat, you'd give them the same courtesy they give you.

And you are scared, that will never change. But you've learned to listen. Fear does not dominate you. You're a part of this place now. A part of the ecosystem. You can hear it speak.

You gather enzymes and you hatch the young. You give an old being its final wish. You're cured.

You have not escaped unscathed. In listening, in utilizing, you've allowed yourself to become a part of it. Become a part of this beautiful, alien world that has allowed you to take from it as much as it takes from you. Helped it as it has helped you. It cured you. You cured it.

This planet is cursed.

But the Sea Emperor called you "friend".

been replaying my favorite games ever as of late

[omi-papus]

Id like to think of 4546b is a harsh place but not a cruel one. Its a world where you CAN NOT impose civilisation and order in no matter how hard you try. And that is why its a place where only “freaks” can survive. So Murderhobo grandma, Enough autism to cause radiation, “The fish told me to do it”, and ShrimpFucker69 are all uniquely fucked up in just the right way to make a living o no mans ocean.

Like literally both games rely on the protagonist just trusting the voice in their head like thats a normal thing to do.

Subnautica has taught me that only autistic individuals can survive on 4546B.
