I’ve seen that guy! Kayaking down a lazy river and there’s a dude catching and cataloging turtles. Stopped to chat a bit. No idea how the hell he got to where he was. No boat, no roads near.
Same trip I saw a couple of teens in the water around a bend. Waved at them, wait… WTF is that in the water? Whole ass horse comes busting out the river.
SAME trip, we got to where the rednecks hang out on the weekends. It’s a little village of shacks wrapped around a long, slow bend in the river, super cool. Dozens of adults and kids playing around, and a 5’ gator standing on the shore, stiff as a statue, just staring straight ahead.
I need to go kayaking this weekend.

the seal or the scientist?

Yes.
Yup. That tracks.
Literally a side plot of Disco Elysium.
Is that worth watching ?
It’s certainly worth playing if you enjoy whimsical philosophical narratives.
Excuse me? Whimsical? I did enjoy being a disco infused communism cop with a brain the size of earth that may have been addicted to every substance.
Yeah I was being a little glib. It’s close to perfect for me. Also Kim.
It is a goddamn masterpiece and absolutely worth playing. I just finished playing it again after so many years.
No love for the mad theorists huh? The mad philosophers, linguists, mathematicians, …
They are already mad. Have you met mathematicians?
I would also go mad if I had to accept that 83 is a prime number but 1 isn’t

what i’m mad about is that you can divide by infinity and get zero, but you can’t divide by 0 and get infinity. make up your minds maths people
Oh you totally can (as long as you’re working with implied limits, which you have to if infinity is in the mix), you just have to specify if it’s a positive or negative zero.
positive or negative nothing 💀 right
i mean, implicitly it’s just whether you’re approaching zero from positive or negative direction, since we’re working with limits.
Like you can shave down a stick however much you want, you can never reach 0 stick by doing so.

if you want mad linguistics you may enjoy agma schwa’s cursed conlang circus
Mad linguists are just prescriptivists.
well, not only. There’s also those that try to reconstruct the original language.
This is a description of all field scientists. They really aren’t that scary.

So, basically, it’s mad to be outdoors collecting data and not in the lab. Got it ;)
Henge from attack on titan is what comes to mind as a crazy field scientist.
That’s basically the tv series Eureka
I miss “cosy” sci-fi shows like Eureka.
I really enjoyed it and just reaatched it a year ago. Great show with a unique approach. Sad that there aren’t any current shows that are similar indeed.
Indiana Jones, anyone? Lara Croft? They were scientists and unhinged and ran around in a lot of fields.
Movie archeologist as a biologist:
Goes in the middle of a jungle to find the rarest, critically endangered frog
Sells it illegally for Chinese boner pills
Sean Connery was in a movie like this about ants that cure cancer.
Medicine Man!
He did it for the science!
Layla Hassan, anyone? Literally diving first person into the past via animus, in a shack in the woods on a dig site, studying the bones of who she’s been for the past few weeks…
This is Tannis from borderlands lmao well the OG borderlands anyways. Tennis never needed to be a full fledged npc, let alone a siren.
YES! The moment she did the telepath thing in BL3 I knew things won’t be good (story-wise) + idk how they will redeem ava
I really didn’t like her as an npc in 2 tbh. She was best when she was borderlands version of shrodingers cat. Maybe alive, maybe not, but always leaving recordings. Gearbox tried to hard to make her “the funny autistic” and ended up making her a bit character instead of part of the world you’re in.
This is clearly wrong, all field scientists are mad to begin with
The paleontologists in the Jurasic Park. When I saw the movie for the first time, I thought they were unrealistic and very mad. Who would go straight to a giant herbivore like Brachiosaurus or Triceratops? Surely they would be aware of the huge danger, right? Then I got to know a few zoologists and yes, this is exactly what a field zoologist would do. They would also survive, magically.
but which one makes the best evil serum ?
Surprised nobody has mentioned Seanan Mcguire and the Incryptid series yet. Awesome books
