WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:08.240 This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me 2 00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:18.960 covering Dungeon Crawler Caral chapters forty five through the epilogue. 3 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.120 Discerning listeners may notice that it says chapters forty five 4 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:28.120 through epilogue, but I already covered forty five in the 5 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.280 last episode. There was a little bit of an overlap 6 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:32.880 in the commissioned chapters. 7 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:34.000 It happens. 8 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:58.640 It's fine. Welcome to spoil Me. Welcome to the show everyone. 9 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.840 I am Natasha. Thank you very much to Michael for 10 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:06.560 commissioning these episodes. Michael is here in the chat along 11 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:11.040 with Zoo and Rob, so welcome to both of you. 12 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:16.040 Michael says Natasha paid the daddy tax a little early. 13 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.159 I don't know what that means, is it? Oh? Is it? 14 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.519 Or do you just mean I read that part a 15 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:24.159 little early? 16 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:24.640 Okay? 17 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:32.319 I was just like, what, Yeah, the spreadsheet had forty 18 00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:39.840 five included. In the previous episode, it said whatever chapter 19 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.599 through forty five, And it wasn't until today that I 20 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.640 looked and I saw that the next episode it was 21 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.879 listed starting with forty five through whatever. So I don't 22 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.200 know if that was Michael's mistake, if that was Kandas's 23 00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.239 mistake because Candas does the spreadsheet. So but either way, 24 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.159 I was like, I went and started at chapter forty 25 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.000 five because I didn't even think about it. And then 26 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.240 I was like, wait a minute, hold on, hold on, 27 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.960 but it's five. Fine, it's five. It's fine because you know, 28 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.080 I'm at the end of the book, and there's always 29 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.360 a lot to talk about in a recap when you 30 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.520 have the entire book behind you. So it's probably for 31 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.719 the best that this reading section be a little bit 32 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:32.360 shorter because I'll have so much more to talk about. 33 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:38.800 So let's this moment where Donut says, time to pay 34 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.439 the daddy tax if it makes you feel better. She 35 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:46.680 was talking about you, you're the daddy. I asked everybody 36 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.759 what the hell does that mean? And there was somebody 37 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.800 on the discord who said that the daddy tax is 38 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.280 essentially her saying, I've got to go keep him happy 39 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:03.039 by fucking. So here I go to do my chore 40 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.159 of having sex with the guy that I'm living with, 41 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:16.960 which is so incredibly sad, Like there's just the vibe 42 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.400 of that there are so many things that are insulting 43 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:29.240 and distressing about it, and I can't tell you, guys, 44 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.719 how offended on his behalf I was. Once I realized 45 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.039 that they were right, I'm gonna go and just double 46 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.599 check who it was that posted that while I'm talking 47 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.199 about this, But I just like the idea that she 48 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.719 viewed fucking him as a chore, and that we know 49 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.360 she was cheating on him with a few different people. 50 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.639 And considering the fact that, like Carl has had a 51 00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:03.479 really bullying father, I feel like there's maybe meant to 52 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:09.159 be an indication here that being raised by people who 53 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.800 did not seem to really care about him or put 54 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:17.959 him first resulted in him being in a relationship with 55 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:22.560 somebody who didn't really care about him or put him first. 56 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.800 Time travel Dev on Discord is the one who explained it. 57 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:35.319 Thank you, Time travel Dev appreciates you. So I am 58 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:41.000 like kind of wondering if Carl is going to be 59 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.519 able to move past this, sort of. 60 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.120 Like it's the question that we all live with every 61 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.000 day of our lives. 62 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.879 Though, right am I ever going to be able to 63 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.519 break the cycle of what I have come to see 64 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.480 as except behavior due to the way I was raised? 65 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:04.920 It's always the question. 66 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:10.240 And there are things that are toxic and abusive that 67 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.279 feel comfortable and familiar to us because it's what we 68 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.680 experienced when we were little, and the fact that they 69 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:22.120 are toxic and abusive does not register because it feels normal. 70 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.839 It just is normal to us. And it's not until 71 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.279 we're around people who had a more balanced and stable 72 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.480 upbringing and they give us a look of horror as 73 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.720 we related them something that somebody said during an argument 74 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.439 that we suddenly have a moment of realizing, Oh, maybe 75 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.399 the thing that I've taken for granted is being the 76 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:49.920 normal human experience, isn't. And I just like, I've been 77 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.079 on both ends of that, you know, talking to somebody 78 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.959 and sharing a story and them looking horrified. And I 79 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.480 have had a few people that they have told like, 80 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.720 for example, something that I did not grow up with 81 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:11.040 was people throwing around insults during fights. So when a 82 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.519 friend of mine tells me that her and her boyfriend 83 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:17.600 Goanna fight and she says that he yelled at her 84 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:24.120 that she's a fat, ugly slud, I in my brain 85 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.920 am just like, well, that's it, right, that's the dumping thing. 86 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:33.639 You just can't come back from saying that. But to her, 87 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.480 that's just the thing you do when you fight. He 88 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.079 didn't mean it, Uh, uh No, Like for me, that's it, 89 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.879 that's the fucking But we all draw our lines in 90 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:50.240 different places and demand different things, and what we are 91 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.360 raised to accept is part of what dictates where we 92 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.040 draw the line. 93 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:56.680 So I always find. 94 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.879 It really kind of interesting to see where people's boundaries 95 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.879 are because it is very telling, and we have to 96 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.839 learn whether the boundaries we had as children still work 97 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:09.839 for us as adults, and if they don't, we have 98 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.959 to reinforce new ones, and that's always really really hard, 99 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.319 especially if you attract people who treat you the same 100 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.759 way that people used to. Now you have to establish 101 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.160 a new boundary that they will bulk at, or you 102 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.240 have to surround yourself with new people, which is also 103 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:33.560 very hard. Zeus says, I keep asking myself how complacent 104 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.519 was Karl that he allowed this disaster of a relationship 105 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.959 to carry on. And it's a really interesting question because like, 106 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.439 how convincing was b that she was happy, you know, 107 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.879 because she was the one cheating. And obviously if you're 108 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.240 cheating them as much as Bee is cheating, you are 109 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.480 not happy in your relationship. This is more than just 110 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.360 like I slipped up. This is somebody who is actively 111 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.839 going out and living like a double life, triple life, And. 112 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.360 Why did Be not just leave? 113 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.319 It sounds like she had family that she could have 114 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.680 stayed with, Like Be sounds like a spoiled brat, really, 115 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:21.560 and honestly, I relate. I cheated on my first husband, 116 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.639 not physically but virtually, and that was how I met Owen, 117 00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:32.000 And I should have left. I should have like we 118 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:36.360 had talked about divorcing and we were in the stages 119 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:41.799 of getting our belonging separated and stuff, but we were 120 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:48.919 not actually divorced, and we hadn't fully separated. And I 121 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.759 did not lead him to believe that I was seeing 122 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.840 anybody else. So in my mind and his, that's cheating. 123 00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:03.399 And I look back and realize I was a complete brad. 124 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:04.600 I was so. 125 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:11.399 Entitled and shitty. And this is not to say that 126 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.240 he was an angel who was perfect, because he was 127 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:21.519 a disaster, you know. But I could have just ended it, 128 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.000 and I fucking didn't do that. And you know, this 129 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:26.720 is the thing that happens when you are in a 130 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.559 relationship for a long time. There's this inertia that becomes 131 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:34.840 really difficult to fight against. Change is hard, and especially 132 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.000 the older that you get and the more set in 133 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.440 your ways, you get the more exhausting it is to 134 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.159 like start over again. It can be exciting, for sure, 135 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:49.200 but it's really really tiring. It can be scary, and 136 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:53.200 especially considering the like economic climate that we live in, 137 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.039 people aren't making the kind of money where they can 138 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.639 just go and get their own place. Most of us 139 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.480 move in with people a little earlier than we maybe 140 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.240 should for the sake of sharing rent, you know, Like 141 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.000 that's a big part of why people move in together, 142 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.840 is the economic aspect of it. And I don't know, 143 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.080 maybe both of them didn't feel like they could make 144 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.960 it on their own, or things just were comfortable enough, 145 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.600 But it's the sort of thing where I hold be 146 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:27.000 more responsible obviously as the cheater. But I also can't 147 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.440 help but think that there must have been signs that 148 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:34.519 Carl was missing either on like but either unconsciously or 149 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.000 wilfully missing, because that's the thing that I feel was 150 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:42.480 happening with my ex was that he knew and to 151 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.960 a degree like kind of buried his head in the sand. 152 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.000 And I think part of that came from him being 153 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.919 a little bit like, I don't want to carry the 154 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.039 burden of the really like there's there's a type of 155 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:03.159 relationship where this can happen, where one person wants the 156 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.159 other to be much more active and engaged and give 157 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:10.559 them more attention and you know, treat them as if 158 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.559 they are a priority, and the other really hasn't got 159 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:19.399 any interest in doing that. And so when they begin 160 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.799 to sense that the other is cheating, there's a weird 161 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.919 sense of relief that like, now the burden is off 162 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:33.399 me and I don't have to perform anymore because they're getting. 163 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.320 That somewhere and I don't have to worry about it, 164 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:36.440 you know what I'm saying. 165 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.519 And people, I think would deny that, but I have 166 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:44.840 seen it firsthand, both in my marriage and my parents' marriage, 167 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.120 because again, we replicate the things. 168 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.480 That we know and have seen before. It's not great. 169 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.080 So this part of me is wondering if Carl was 170 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.440 like a little bit lazy in his relationship and there 171 00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.759 were signs if he had been paying attention, and either 172 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:04.519 he wasn't paying attention or he kind of had a 173 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:08.320 feeling but also didn't want to be fucking bothered, because 174 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:09.200 that's a real thing. 175 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:09.840 You know. 176 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.480 There's so many couples out there where they like barely 177 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:17.360 have sex anymore. Because they just masturbate and get to 178 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.840 their orgasm and that that's all they really care about, 179 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.039 and the actual connection between the two of them isn't 180 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.799 like a thing, and sex is seen as just getting 181 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.080 you to an orgasm and not as like a bonding 182 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.000 experience between two people. 183 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.840 And so like, you know, when it. 184 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.120 Gets to this place where she's saying the daddy tacks 185 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.240 and she sees him as a chore, I mean, it's 186 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:46.840 really that's like the whole thing right there, you know. 187 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.679 Rob says, when I first read, I definitely pondered whether 188 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.960 it was complacency, cluelessness, or an abandonment complex that allowed 189 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.279 him to gloss over without really thinking about it much. 190 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.039 Michael says, some people still and even a not very 191 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.720 happy relationship, just because it feels easier than having to 192 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.360 start over somewhere else one hundred percent. This is also 193 00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.200 something called the sunk cost fallacy, where people feel like 194 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:12.840 I've spent so much time in this relationship that if 195 00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.399 I start over now, it's like more of a failure. 196 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.039 And it's called the sunk cost fallacy. 197 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:21.639 Because it's garbage. It's false. 198 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:28.320 There is nothing about the amount of time that you 199 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:33.159 have previously spent with somebody that should dictate in any 200 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.519 way what you do next based on your happiness and 201 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.120 their behavior. Those things are not relevant to one another 202 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.399 at all. It doesn't matter. I don't care if you're 203 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:48.679 married and you have kids. Honestly, like if anything, being 204 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.360 somebody who has children, I feel like even less so 205 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.360 is irrelevant. You should be more willing to leave at 206 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.200 the drop of a hat because you have kids, because 207 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.200 that is something that is going to weigh on them 208 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.200 for the rest of their lives. My parents didn't break 209 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.759 up until I was eighteen and had moved out, and 210 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.000 I am still angry that it took them so long 211 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.559 because I knew from like age nine that they didn't 212 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.440 want to be together. It was so obvious, and they 213 00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:22.080 used me as the excuse to stay together. But I 214 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.399 don't believe it. I believe that they both just didn't 215 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:25.039 want to change. 216 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:25.799 I didn't. 217 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.960 I don't think that it was for my welfare. I 218 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.000 think my welfare was the rationalization that they used for 219 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:39.000 their own desire to keep things the same, and the 220 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:45.519 idea of like staying in something that is unhappy. Like 221 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.679 I said, I've done it. I get it, but I 222 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:50.159 didn't do it. 223 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.399 For very long, Like it. 224 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.840 Was I could only sustain it for so long before 225 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.360 I really started to be like, what the fuck am 226 00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:01.320 I doing? Because I am a person who's more willing 227 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.240 to change things dramatically in my life than average I think. 228 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.639 Rob says, I've also seen in friends a whole well, 229 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:14.240 I deserve this thing in their bad relationships. That one 230 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.600 is a really tough one because, like I have struggled 231 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.720 a little bit with that, but mostly have had a 232 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.559 supportive family and have felt like I don't deserve this. 233 00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:28.120 Like there are. 234 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.879 Times where I will be like, well, maybe it makes sense, 235 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.039 you know, but mostly I don't struggle with that, and 236 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.919 it's very hard to put myself in that headspace and 237 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.600 like understand where somebody is coming from where they feel 238 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:43.200 like that's acceptable. So, you know, there are some things 239 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.600 that a friend comes to me for advice and I 240 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.759 will feel like I can really put myself in their 241 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.559 shoes and say something that they will understand in a 242 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.759 really like visceral way. And then there are things like 243 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.240 that where I don't know what to say because that's 244 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.639 about your self worth a human being, and that's a 245 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.320 big fucking question. If you don't feel like you are 246 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.919 worthy of better. Then there is something so fundamental that 247 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.519 needs to be shifted in your thinking that that's that's 248 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.039 not something I can say anything about. 249 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:16.639 You need to just go to therapy on that. 250 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.759 Michael says, I just finished watching Adolescents on Netflix. 251 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:23.559 Excellent. 252 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:25.759 The dad on that show reminded me of Carl A bit. 253 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.639 Can't explain why without minor spoilers. Unfortunately, to quote the 254 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.679 Perks of being a wallflower, people accept the love they 255 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.600 think they deserve, which wasn't a happy quote. 256 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.120 Somebody commissioned me to watch. 257 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.159 The Perks of being a Wallflower. I feel like that's 258 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:45.559 somewhere in the Spoiling Feed, but yeah, I mean, that's 259 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.159 exactly it. So this is part of why people need 260 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.200 to raise their kids with more self worth, because then 261 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.159 they will hold the other people around them to a 262 00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:01.120 higher expectation on how they're treated. Any See, I told 263 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:02.480 you guys that it was good that this was like 264 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.759 a shorter section. So let's start with chapter forty six. 265 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.079 Where the dungeon. 266 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:18.559 Groans in response to Carl stepping on the guinea pig, 267 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:23.319 which is the entire dungeon rumbled as if it was 268 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:29.400 experiencing a small earthquake. My hud flickered. I felt dirty 269 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.279 and sick. So this this is the AI orgasming, right, 270 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:39.599 that's what's happening, like fully, Oh my god, it is horrifying. 271 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:44.160 I hate it so much. Oh, Michael said, sorry for 272 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.359 the spoiler. No no, no, Michael, I commit I watched 273 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:49.960 it already. It's on the feed like in the distant past. 274 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:52.720 Don't worry about it. That was not a spoiler. 275 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:59.559 But yeah, this is just like I honestly, the experience 276 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:07.160 of being made like being objectified by the AI, it's 277 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.279 just funny. I can't help but just be like, yeah, 278 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.480 I'm sure, it's very uncomfortable and horrible. Sucks suck, you know, 279 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:21.880 I just can't. I can't be bothered by it. Dozens 280 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.880 of red dots filled the hallways. These were newly generated 281 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.720 brindle grubs. I watched as the white dots of the 282 00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:32.680 Dingoes continued to run toward the main artery hall, snatching 283 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.920 up and killing the grubs. They passed the Dingoes as 284 00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.599 a pack hit the main passage, and their dots disappeared. 285 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:41.160 I wondered what happened. 286 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.039 I wondered what would happen if they ran across another 287 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.440 group of crawlers. Probably nothing good, at least not for 288 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:52.680 the crawlers. That didn't occur to me. They're like, I 289 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.279 get why he doesn't spend much more time examining that, 290 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.680 because like, why would you There's no good to come 291 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.160 up that. But I was a little bit startled when 292 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:04.960 he brought it up. I was like, oh my god, 293 00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:12.920 the idea of you saving yourself means this just reminds 294 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.359 me a lot of something that was like I think 295 00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:23.160 screenshotted from Tumblr, and it was basically a person pointing 296 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:29.079 out that when you tell girls at parties to watch 297 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:34.640 their drinks and to make sure that like they are safe, 298 00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:42.759 rather than addressing the behavior of rapists, what you are 299 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:51.400 really saying is make sure they rape the other girl instead. 300 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:57.599 And people don't think of it that way understandably, but 301 00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:59.240 like that's. 302 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.119 Not entirely inaccurate. 303 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.359 And this moment of like I made them our friends, 304 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:07.839 would they ate the biscuits and now they're like on 305 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:12.279 our side. It felt like a straight up victory until 306 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:14.559 they took off and then he mentioned that, and all 307 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.000 of a sudden I was like, oh no, Like I 308 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.559 just never even stopped to consider that this would not 309 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.039 mean the things are just friendly towards humans in general, 310 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.720 that it's just them. And there is something really saddening 311 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:35.720 about the idea of like, like if they were to 312 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:38.440 all be in a hallway, that the human beings would 313 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:43.160 be ripped apart around them and not them. Like I'm 314 00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:48.319 wondering if Carl and Uh and Doughnut were to like 315 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.799 be there when the human beings were attacked, when the 316 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:56.559 other crawlers were attacked, if they began to defend those 317 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.000 crawlers the biscuits, I have to assume like the effect 318 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.640 of those would be negated and the Dingoes would go 319 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:09.240 back to seeing them as enemies. Right, I'm assuming that 320 00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:12.599 it's not so far as like we're going to be 321 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:16.640 able to defend these people and that will lead the 322 00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:20.359 Dingoes to seeing that these are also friends. 323 00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:21.799 Because I don't feel like it. 324 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:25.759 I wonder if you could give all of the other 325 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:32.079 humans some biscuits and have them each feed the dingoes 326 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:36.039 biscuit and then you could just like all be safe. 327 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:37.480 But again that's just me. 328 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.400 That's just ensuring that it's you and your group. 329 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:48.759 It's a you know, so it sucks. It sucks. 330 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:53.279 Michael says, it's one of those things where we're too 331 00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.400 small to address the larger issues, so we can only 332 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:58.279 work to protect ourselves and those near us, right and well, 333 00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:01.200 and that's that's the argument, right, Like, we can address 334 00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:07.680 the larger issue, but we behave as if rapists are 335 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:13.279 simply an inevitability in a way that is like really 336 00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:18.440 deeply fucked up, actually our expectation of that, And we 337 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:23.160 could address the behavior as a larger issue systematically, but 338 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:25.920 it's just like we are very self defeating about it, 339 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.200 and so instead we'll try to control women and their 340 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:35.839 behavior instead of trying to address the way that men 341 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:42.680 see women and try to control the men's behavior. It's 342 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.000 just very funny to me, how anything that involves women 343 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:50.119 at all, we are the only ones whose behavior is 344 00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:54.519 seen as alterable. We are the only ones who are 345 00:22:54.559 --> 00:23:01.480 seen as actually doing something incorrectly, versus men who when 346 00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:04.279 they are rapists, it's much more like, well, that's like 347 00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:06.559 an instinctual. 348 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.680 Urge and not them being a. 349 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:13.000 Like a person who has been programmed by society to 350 00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:16.440 see women as objects and not living beings. You know. 351 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:20.680 But anyway, anyway. 352 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:27.480 They go over to the cobalt. Then there's a key. 353 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:33.559 Master pen key opens the individual cages of both the 354 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:36.759 fighters and the bait animals within the coalbalt fighting pits. 355 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.759 This key is magically attuned to the coalbalt race. If 356 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.240 you are not a Cobalt and attempt to use this key, 357 00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:51.720 it will only work once before breaking choose wisely. So yeah, 358 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:54.200 I definitely had a moment here of thinking it was 359 00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:56.680 going to say, if you're not a Cobalt, you can't 360 00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:58.519 use this key at all, and that it was going 361 00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:00.680 to be like, now pick your race, you know, like 362 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:02.079 that it was key was going to be sort of 363 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:07.599 trapped into a decision. And it turns out the reward 364 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:14.519 room that they are in is for pets. Menagerie, you 365 00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.480 have discovered a. 366 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:16.680 Pet reward room. 367 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:20.440 From caterpillars who secrete vodka to basilisks who can turn 368 00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.599 mobs to stone, a good pet can make the difference 369 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.720 between survival and the end of the road. Just remember 370 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.440 what happened with Harambe. There ain't no zookeepers around to 371 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.680 shoot the monsters ass If you bite off more than 372 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:36.960 you can chew reward, you have a key. It opens 373 00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:43.559 only one cage. Figure it out, Einstein. So I love 374 00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:45.759 the fact that he also the AI says to both 375 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:47.920 of them that it's like you tell them that I 376 00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:51.960 said it was your prize. But Karl knows that they're 377 00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:54.359 just being fucked with, so he's like, yeah, I'll let 378 00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:57.680 Donut pick because whoever has the most charisma and the 379 00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:59.759 most strength is going to be the one that deals 380 00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:01.960 better with the pet, so it makes sense for her 381 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:08.640 to pick the one that she vibes with the most. 382 00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:13.039 There's something called juvenile ribbon wing that looks like a parrot. 383 00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:16.119 The next was a green slime, then a rat, then 384 00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:18.880 a meatball with two legs and a mohawk called a 385 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:23.359 tummy acre. Of the first four, only the slime. 386 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:24.680 And the rat had white dots. 387 00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:28.319 A row of equally pitiful animals followed looking up at us, 388 00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:33.720 including a white tagged brindle grub. Donut only had eyes 389 00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.480 on that last cage. It was a chicken dinosaur thing 390 00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.920 with pink, downy feathers. The monster coued up at the cat, 391 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:46.519 making a chirping noise. The thing looked pitiful. I immediately 392 00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:49.839 saw why Doughnut liked it. It landed firmly in the 393 00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.279 it's so damn ugly it's cute category. It was probably 394 00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:57.359 seven inches tall. It stood on two legs and cocked 395 00:25:57.400 --> 00:25:59.440 its head at me. The damn thing looked like a 396 00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.279 raw piece of chicken with a few random pink hued 397 00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:06.039 feathers attached to it. It had two tiny forearms instead 398 00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:12.160 of wings, and a long, ser serpentine tail. It was 399 00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:18.279 called mongoliensis. It was also red tagged. 400 00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.640 Is it a boy or girl? 401 00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:22.839
