One of the best games of the past decade for me.
What game is that?
Subnautica
Thanks!
'Wait what is that' is a bigfin squid, they live in the deep and are hard to find because of that. That's just a juvenile, that's why it's not that big.
that's why it's not that big
Bro, what do you consider big??
According to the link, they're thought to get about 26ft, or 8m, with their arms included. Their actual bodies are incredibly small, however.
That website really is infected with advertisement cancer
Comments like yours make me glad I can block ads easily on my phone haha.. Sometimes I forget what the "normal" experience looks like
Uhm, what are the balloons in the background? And do i want to know?
Those are his friends, Jeph and Kile.
Nothing to worry about. Just body snatcher pods
Somebody who actually knows what they’re talking about can correct me here, but I’m pretty sure those are the tentacles, with the grabby things on the end- and in the foreground… because it was annoyed at the sub/rov. (And may have punched it.)
(“grabby things” is a highly technical term.)
It’s the Humbolts you gotta be worried about. These guys mostly just lurk and silently judge your music choices.
Eldritch abomination looking ass
Ooo! That last one has long fascinated me. It's a Siphonophore called Praya Dubia. They can get as long as 160 feet long!
Just what I came to the comments for. Thanks for the link
Siphonophores are all fascinating and Praya especially so!
Giant isopods are so fucking cool and I hope they know it.
I just hope they stay in the deep sea...
They Will Rise. They Will Swarm. They Will Rule.
They're so used to the high-pressure environment of the deep ocean that they'd just explode into something resembling jelly or phlegm if they came to the surface
Soon everything will be deep sea
Even without a centralized brain, jellyfish can both learn from past events and change their behavior to preempt expected events.
No need to look for aliens in space when we've got plenty of them to make contact with underwater
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Cthulhu actually DID exist somewhere in the ocean.
Dennis is the cool neighbor that always shares his weed. And the squid is a master mixologist who’s just waiting to take your order.
The, glowy rope thing… kinky, but seriously not worth it.
Don't forget Reginald!!
That's not a jellyfish that's a frisbee that grew legs.
It's a magnapinna. Maybe because of the legs, we don't judge 😁
