  • Don’t shampoo goats, they fuckin hate water and will be massive assholes about it

    Brush them every few days or so and they’re fine (that’s overkill but I like to let mine) and if something nasty gets on them soaking the brush with warm water usually makes them okay-ish with the water so you can get the gunk off em

    Baphomet, being a goat and from hell, is very similar I’d assume, but probably even more averse to water



  • I mean, he brought the marker back to the planet, which should be what the marker wanted, so why were they still attacking him?

    The marker wanted to stay off of Aegis VII, actually. Their entire goal (as we learn in 3) is to spread the Necro infection and eventually make a Brother Moon. It’s likely the marker kept attacking Isaac in an attempt to stop him from putting it back on the planet that was about to fall apart. Isaac’s mental infection isn’t hardcore until DS2, either, so he’s not being manipulated very hard yet

    Dead Space gets fucking complicated if you read the extended lore in all the games holy shit I sound insane

    Wait, is mercer the guy developing the invincible necromorphs, or is he the one helping you bring the marker?

    Mercer is the guy making the invincible Necro. In the remake he kills himself willingly, in the original he’s “betrayed” by the marker. The guy helping you is June, poor bastard


  • I’m unable to get any info on what my grandpa did after leaving active duty and going to work for LM on government contracts. I have paperwork mentioning him, and it’s alllllllll still sharpied out almost 70 years later. Dude was a logistics engineer, he basically organized warehouses, yet apparently was so important to the nuclear sub program (Mare Island in the 50s & 60s tells me that much) apparently that I’m not allowed any further info

    It’s entirely possible he didn’t know what he was working on, I only have guesses because of other shit we know from decades after his death


  • Dr Mercer was advantageous to the Marker to have alive and doing his work, so he isn’t killed until his usefulness has run its course

    Canonically: the markers try to influence people to do what will assist in Unification. Isaac vehemently doesn’t believe in Unitology so the marker throws enemies at him to try to stop him / manipulate him into doing what it wants (in DS2 & 3). Other people in the series are believers, so they don’t need to be killed off if they’re more useful alive for the time being

    Survivors lasting by staying behind locked doors isn’t too unbelievable, either, given the fall of the Ishimura took a while (1 month from marker discovery to it getting on board the ship), and you arrive not that long after it falls (less than a week). It’s been at most a week since she went dark, I think, which is a believable timeframe to survive given the comms going black is at least a day before the big fall of the ship

    Oh hey my memory was pretty close: Check the year 2508 section

    Other games absolutely pull that shit too much, but DS did a pretty good job with background story details to explain why some people aren’t dead
