THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 3)

[Animalia (Matti)]

@aah31415

I believe we should drop the topic

Well that was interesting whilst it lasted
The Teeming Universe: An Extraterrestrial Field Guide: An Exploration & Journey to Worlds Beyond the Solar System : Cline, Christian Andrew: Amazon.ca: Books

Apparently a speculative biology work (Teeming Universe) has gotten a paperback on Amazon.

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

I wonder if other speculative biology works are published?

[Animalia (Matti)]

I believe “All Tomorrows” now also has a published hardcover

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Maybe serina gets one at some point?

[Trappist-1e ("shot for the moon, and if you miss, you get on sun orbit lol")]

Expedition by Wayne Barlowe, both After Men and Man after Men by Dougal Dixon are some examples i can think of.
Expedition is a really cool one, i just wished it didn’t cost a fortune for a paperprint… i have the pdf tho

@aah31415

Maybe serina gets one at some point?

Maybe, i wonder how the site interface would be adapted to an book

Would rain world make a good setting for a book?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

I wonder what sort of life would emerge in the future of Rain World?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Isn’t the rain world supposed to freeze over in the future?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Before it freezes over, but after the timeline of the games.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Fairly sure it’s already mostly a wasteland by the end of the last campaign in the timeline (though I’ve mostly heard of what happens in it from CA’s videos)

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Could anything be done to save Rain World from its frozen fate?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Divine intervention probably

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

I wonder what ancient life existed on Rain World…

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Maybe we’ll get a prequel exploring that one day

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Imagine a Rain World and Hollow Knight cross-over.

[Animalia (Matti)]

There’s a fan theory that Rain World is naturally a cold world but due to the iterators interfering and heating things up it turned into an urban jungle. Not sure how true that one is, though.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Seeing as it’s going into an ice age after those computers died down, that makes much sense

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Would Rain World Ice Age just be one in a cycle of Ice Ages, like on Earth, or a permanent freeze?

[Animalia (Matti)]

There’s also another theory tied closely to this which states that the caramel lizards are the wild version of the lizards. Which makes sense considering they’re one of the few lizard types that actually increase in number when the place freezes over. It also makes sense considering they have six limbs and its possible for complex vertebrates to lose limbs but not gain them.

@AnthropocenianAge

Would Rain World Ice Age just be one in a cycle of Ice Ages, like on Earth, or a permanent freeze?

The fan theory implies that Rain World is a naturally cold planet and it was just suddenly brought into warmth after the iterators, kind of like manmade climate change.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So those hexapodal lizards are native animals

Are the slugcats too or are they not from there?
