On the off chance this leads to some new ideas to try recipe wise, u/BulbasaurusThe7th do you have any input on making coleslaw?
If anyone else also has input/recipe ideas please do post them below.
Nothing.
I got Stellaris years ago and the mod scene there means I'll probably be playing it forever.
On top of that, X-Com 2 which is in a similar xeno infested boat, there are cracks, private servers and a whole host of other games out there which mean not only do I have more time than money or sense to spend, but there aren't any actual monetary costs involved now either.
Game of Thrones was the same until D&D took over fully. In addition to retarded writing choices such as ballista that were achieving railgun levels of projectile velocity you had the various archers going from using "loose" to "fire" because of shitty writers who only ever think in modern vernacular.
Nature shows are at best educational pieces for families and schoolchildren and at worst made up, so the more brutal aspects of nature are often skipped or at least only briefly covered with very skewed interpretations of what is happening.
Adult male lions will kill and eat the cubs of a pride without a male in order to both remove genetic competition and induce heat in the lionesses to then produce his own offspring.
Some sharks not only give birth to live young but those that are birthed will have already killed and consumed some of their siblings who were weaker.
Some parasitoids will infect a host with not only eggs that will eventually hatch and consume them from the inside out, but also behavioural changes to protect the eggs in the mean time.
Cane toads will try to eat anything they can get in their mouths, including other cane toads. They can even die in the attempt when literally biting off more than they can chew.
Nature is very creative. Brutal, but creative.
Explaining how mice will eat their own young if their nest is discovered by a predator is always a grim one. Sure mice will eat insects, worms, molusc, and other things in general, but explaining cannibalism in order to reclaim the energy spent producing the brood rather than leave it to waste or the predator is a special kind of horror for many.
Cows contract bovine tb from badgers when they nibble on dead badgers infected with the disease. They do this because like sharks and many other animals they have nothing but their mouths to investigate their surroundings. This leads to the other thing.
Eating small animals is really just a question of scale, and in general comes down to opportunistic protein gain in otherwise herbivorous animals. Mice and similarly sized species are like humans eating a sweet such as maltesers, small enough to swallow whole but still large enough to chomp once.
In general if an animal is large enough to eat a smaller one, especially much smaller ones, it will.
Fairly sure I ended up getting that for free. I had Gods and Kings, I remember BNW getting shit on for how much it changed the game, not for the better at times, so put off buying it. Went back to play V in the last year or so on Steam and BNW was there and unlocked, ready for install 🤔
Nah, Star Trek TNG and DS9 character who had so much bad shit happen to him the "O'Brien must suffer" meme came about.
He was shot, stabbed, punched, had his wife possessed, had his kid possessed, had his kid temporarily aged up a decade, was falsely accused of crimes by alien governments twice in separate episodes, killed, replaced with his own future or past self after being killed, shot some more, given a purple nurple by Jhem'Hadar, sent back in time several times, beat up during some of those times including once by Klingons and then interrogated about why the brawl started by Kirk himself, all the while being one of the like 3 people keeping the station from exploding on a daily basis because it was that badly built, filled with traps, and repeatedly targeted for destruction for countless reasons.
Also he was married to Keiko.
Ah, my comment was to do with how quickly this guy is being paraded out infront of the general public and how rapidly his manifesto was published when quite a few previous others still haven't been. This is a distraction for the political theatre.
And I say this as an apatheist: meh.
Another day, another sperg sperging on a forum nobody asked for.
