Yes, come to space…
We welcome you hereUh I mean nobody is here, it’s entirely empty.In a way, the emptiness is more terrifying than anything else.
Great, now reaper leviathans are in space too
I mean… that planet is somewhere in space.
Have you seen what’s down there? It’s terrifying.
You don’t have to tell me. Deep down at the bottom of the ocean? The whole place is crawling with…capitalists.
Yeah, yeah. I know. Andrew Ryan gave us all the big, shiny speech, “sweat of your brow” and all that, but what’s he got down there now? Just a buncha junkies and opportunists running guns and peeling off all of that pretty art deco veneer.
Thanks but no thanks, Ryan.
The tired anti-capitalist’s review of bioshock lmao
Yeah, kinda hard to ignore those themes in a game whose antagonist is a deliberate gender-swap of Ayn Rand.
How dare someone point out the anti-capitalist themes of fucking BioShock, LMAO
No wonder they sank R’leyh to the bottom of the ocean.
Wasn’t Ryan a Libertarian?
No, he was a “Libertarian”
There isn’t much to see on the moon. It’s a giant piece of rock. You’re been there once, you’ve seen it.
Deep ocean is a whole different story. Very many, very different ecosystems.
Tbh I’ve never been to the moon so I’m not sure actually
What about the theme park?
🎵 We’re whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon. But there ain’t no whales so we tell tall tales and sing a whaling tune. 🎵
Never been there. Is it worth the trip?
Only if you like space whalers.
If Lovecraft has taught us anythig, it’s that looking too closely into either one is a BAD idea.
He was just too afraid of what was inside him, and that’s what the abyss was reflecting to him, hence his quote.
which quote?
yeah I wanted to write “HP Lovecraft wrote this”
Spoken like a true thalassophobian.
Thalassophobe, probably

Is the gellar field active?
I love the W40K chaos vibe
It is much more complicated and difficult to explore the depths of the ocean than going into space, given that in space there is no need for vehicles that must withstand these enormous pressures. In space they only have to withstand an air pressure of 1 atm and not a thousand atm in the depths of the seas. A simple crack in the hull and you’re dead before you can say sh…
Just like how we explore moon/mars, we been using remote controlled submarine for quite a while now

The challenge of deepsea is not pressure, it’s the limited visibility and range they can get with the submarine drone. On moon and mars, everything on the horizon is visible once the sun hit the surface, but deepsea doesn’t have that perk, and water block any radiation so well the submarine need to be tethered in order to receive signal and send video feed.

Made me think of this Futurama scene.
Wait till we get far enough in space.
The voids will prove harder than the oceans.
No, space is hard because of radiation and great distances, but a hole in the hull of the ship, for example due to a micro meteorite, can even be covered with a piece of duct tape. A hole in the hull of a submarine however is a catastrophe, if it does not directly cause the hull to implode, the water that enters has enough pressure to cut you in two.
The current “space” we go into, tends to have a tinny amount of atmosphere. (1.322×10-11 Pa according to some random top result on Google)
So if you want to keep inside conditions at around 1 atm for a human to stay, that’s all the difference you need to keep, and a duct tape might work.But the void I refer to, is very different.
Think:- Vaporising metals
- Theoretical quantum bubble formation
Normal spacecrafts made for “space”, might even have their outer surface constantly being diffused in the void.
Disclaimer: I’m not a space nerd. The above is just speculation
Sure, but doesn’t the outer surface diffusing apply to the friction of water against a submarine’s hull too? No clue about theoretical quantum bubbles, but it doesn’t seem like anything that would affect spaceships in particular.
friction of water against a submarine’s hull
I can’t say for sure, but I feel like the affect due to said friction would be much lower, considering we are managing solid-solid friction in a lot of places.
theoretical quantum bubbles
Yeah, that’s not relevant. Just added that to clarify which “void” I’m talking about.
The vaporising metals problem, I think might be alleviated by covalent bonding materials, so polymers? But not sure about that either.
I can see the moon from right here.
fr are these oceanographers just trying to wake The Old Ones or what? Ain’t nobody got time for that shit.
You are just saying this cause you found out about the butt worm.
Don’t let the idea of multi butts scare you. Come back to the oceans.
What about all the oceans on all the other planets?
This is such an apples and oranges comparison, it grinds my gears every time it gets used to justify some nonsense conspiracy or cryptozoology nonsense.
Sorry for being a grump.
And it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found, another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic, and how
Well the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you’ll end up where you were
I really like the Iron Horse cover.
Yea and I’d purely guess most worlds with life of some kind are on some sort of water planet, so you flee the ‘scary oceans’ at home to encounter alien ones of the same. If you can’t adapt to the first real good luck on the second.
In fact, we have a massive liquid methane ocean right in our solar system, on Titan. And we don’t know anything about what might be in it’s depths
How’s Dagon these days? Haven’t heard from him since that whole Innsmouth incident.
“We know more about space than the oceans”
Bitch the stars are out in the open. All you have to do is look up. We’ve been doing it since the dawn of civilization.
Sorry, I hear that factoid too much from people don’t know better.
but that doesnt make the ‘factoid’ any less true…
It’s a factoid to me because it doesn’t say much because what is “know better” any way? We’ve only sent people up to the moon and there are only ten people in orbit at this moment. Meanwhile, we likely send out more people underwater, everyday. The factoid suggests we know a lot about space even though we have no idea what 95% of space is.
its referring to images and recordings of space. there are hundreds of pictures of other galaxies, in remarkable definition, but no images of most of the ocean floor. we know more about what is actually out there, as well as what the planets and stars are made of, how far away they are, how they interact with each other, etc. we can know about something without physically visiting it
Is Nadeau the opposite of Cousteau?
That or the opposite of Zeneau.

Also brighter
Not at night🙃
Yes at night, though.
You can see the stars from the dark side of the moon, but if you get deep enough in the ocean, it’s just completely pitch black in the visible spectrum.
My bad - I forgot about the “deep” part by the time I responded to this, and was envisioning the surface, looking up at well, the moon actually. Yeah the deep deep ocean is absolutely pitch black, except for rare lava or phosphorescence or such, you are correct.
