      I agree on the basis that it’s a) fine and b) not mandatory in any meaningful sense.

      I ain’t going to the desert on a rainy afternoon on the 19th of Spring to catch a legendary fish or whatever. I got PINEAPPLES and a WIFE.

    Terraria is a 8.5/10 game that drops down to at least 7/10 just because of the fishing. I don’t understand what Redigit was thinking when he added it (unless it was spite, then it makes sense).

                A fish ate my wife and kids. I fish every day in my quest for revenge, hoping to catch to one who did it. Alas, I see no end in sight and have eaten 1362 fish since that tragic day. Sometimes I ask myself: would my family want this? Would they want to see me perpetuating this cycle of violence?

                But then I remember: It doesn’t matter what they want. At the end of the day, they’re dead and nothing will bring them back.

                So I continue the grind. Fishing. Cooking. Consuming.

                Every day I change my profile picture on Tinder to my catch of the day. I do this to strike fear in the hearts of all the catfishes out there. But a doubt lingers in the back of my mind. At the end of this crusade, will I be the one that ends up on the hook?

              I like the way it’s implemented in Rimworld especially with the bugs. Many animals will retaliate when you try to tame them. Bugs will just incessantly attack you right away but you can still tame them if your pawn has sufficient skills and can doge and tank enough hits.

                Mmmm, me too. I love the Rimworld taming system. (Did you know, if you can down a revenging animal without killing it, you can tend to its wounds, it might magically bond with the doctor and self tame, and failing that, now the animal is trapped in your animal hospital or your barn and you can try again?) You can make anything your pet, assuming you have someone with the skills and you get good luck. I frequently tame bears just because I think Rimworld bears are adorable, not necessarily because they’re useful. (Have you seen the Animal Cuddling mod? It can be adjusted so your pawns will hug, and be approached for hugs by, literally anything in your menagerie of pets, but by default it already lets you hug a lot of odd critters because it’s based on relative body size. It’s adorable.)

                  I think they nerfed the taming by healing at some point because I remember it being incredibly effective with larger animals, and you’d get a thrumbo on the first try almost every time.

                  I love that they added so many more animals with Odyssey, love just having a swarm of crows.

                  Yes the rimworld bears are very cute.

                  I will have to check that mod out.

                  It’s a shame that you can’t tame any of the anomalies, other than the ghouls but that’s just a human basically.
