yes, i think there's a good chance this is the last rabid tippler thread because im exceedingly aged and wise now.

CHICKEN UPDATE: East the easter egger friggin' died from unknown causes but i got two more hybrid breeds and they lay one bajillion eggs (the downside is they'll die much younger).

also i got a non-blood relative to help me build an actual coop because the bloodline is cursed to be shit at carpentry. so the chickens aren't going to be eaten by predators probably. they are literally the peak creature, though i think the thing i most dislike about them is they love to waste their own food.

so here is your challenge for this thread: you must question me on my existential principles and test my resolve! i don't know exactly what that looks like but i dunno, use your years long psychoanalysis of my quests to prod at my deepest insecurities.

or just suggest scantily clad quest characters to draw. part of inner peace is that boobs are allowed again.

How do you know you're you, and not somebody else who THINKS they're you?

When did the roadkill thing start and have you considered that the roadkill thing has lasted too long?

Ok I'll bite.

Why do you worry that you'll one day learn to hate the ones you love and/or worry that the closest people to you may one day betray you?

>i think there's a good chance this is the last rabid tippler thread because im exceedingly aged and wise now.
Too relatable.

>>1104687
All things are subject to the inevitable forward turning of entropy, except cats?

Has it occurred to you that your audience is aging at around the same rate as you?

Because I hate that we're all getting old

>>1104695
If it makes you feel any better, I'd put pretty decent odds that at some point within the next 20 years or so every remaining human will either all be killed, or all become effectively immortal. And I guess either way it won't much matter how old we were at that point. Fingers crossed for the Good End, I guess.

>>1104687
Sure, I'll have a go.

First off it is universally agreed that you are 'you' despite external factors, unless you believe you're the hero of your own story where everyone is a NPC around you or in some sort of simulation, or even created by some higher being for their own personal amusement I guess? that usually means you exist.

By existing you don't need approval from anyone or anything around to achieve that, regardless of what happens or how you see yourself there's always gonna be someone that cares and thinks about you, even if you weren't here, and until that happens you're still very much real and interacting with the other walking meatbags around you who got the luck to be in the exact same situation as yourself and experiencing exactly what you currently experience.

That lack of necessary validation from other people basically means that how you live your life is totally up to you, and it doesn't matter how others decide to operate on your decisions as long as they don't interfere physically with it, I think herego I am.

As such, I'd like to ask what exactly are your core values and principles regarding social interaction, if you do agree on my earlier statements on the freedom you're offered to do what you want, what you really, really want, and not what others expect of you, and how do you plan on acting on it?

Have a scantily clad Prim interrogate your existentiality on a therapist's couch.
Now, which is more useful, the chicken or the egg?

1. stop eating roadkill
2. how do i know im me
3. human aging and it's psychic effects
4. what are your guidelines for social interaction

>Question 0: Which is more useful, chicken or egg?
butchering chickens is kind of a lot of work, but eggs are ready to go right out of the butt. also, chicken can make many egg in a lifetime. for me it's clear egg winner.

>Conundrum 1: stop eating roadkill

now listen here you sunnuva bitch. that's free meat on the ground. free. meat. if i don't eat it, who will?

furthermore-I am proving to any prospective mates that i am a goddam provider. innovative. self-sufficient. a chad, if you will.

okay, so maybe everyone i've ever met has said that i shouldn't do it, but i've never gotten sick and also good, relatively fresh roadkill doesn't present itself very often. im getting like, one good grab a year.

(now is the time for socratic dialogue, make arguments for or against the eating of roadkill)

Can I request scantily clad Rachael from 30 Updates or Less, and also ask you to contemplate the troubling thought that you either have or will soon cross the age at which your body begins the slow rot that will inevitably lead to your final end?

Not sure if I'm on the right train with my troubling existential thoughts, but I figured I'd toss something out there.

>>1104703

Honestly, the only thing I'd worry about is that the critters wandering onto the road are more likely to contain harmful diseases that farm-raised FDA regulated meat won't.

The biggest reason against roadkill consumption:

Dead roadkill has a higher & chance overall to have rabies and rabies is very close to uncurable and or extremely lethal very quickly which is bad and the signs of rabies could be removed by the death or time.

>>1104707
very true. After all, you did say this is the last rabid tippler quest thread here >>1104686 , so you gotta make due on that promise and not eat roadkill and risk getting rabies.

scantily clad quest character: Go back to your roots and lets have Sal from Don't be Late... in a thong.

Unless you hit the roadkill yourself, you're scavenging. You have joined the food chain as a decomposer, thus lowering yourself in the pecking order below even chickens. And if your chickens don't respect you, how can you maintain control over your coop?

Does Tippler have rabies?

>>1104703
Its a dillema of if the road kill has been there that long without being picked clean something is wrong basically only eat roadkill you hit yourself but even then be careful expecially if its a predator as they accumulate diseases and parasites more readily such as muscle burrowing mites.

Also draw the fattest possible female character what is your absolute limit of would recuctantly fuck

>>1104706
Prions, rabies, wasting disease, Cholera, intestinal worms, toxoplasmosis ect. And does roadkill really show to your mate you can provide for yourself as its not your kill and it so unusually and iregularly puts meat on your table as you are waiting on random chance to provide it?

I'm torn between scantily Germ or Pliny

the greater chance of disease is really the only reason roadkill is iffy. But if you know what you're doing and taking the right precautions it should be fine. Just cook it thorough

>Conundrum 2: How do I know I'm me? Why am I me and not someone else?
This one actually used to bother me a good deal until i solved it with my massive noggin'.

step 1: choose a belief system (i naturally went with nihilism)
step 2: realize i am purely a biological construct and that my consciousness is a product slash side effect of advanced survival mechanisms
step 3: profit

how have you lot grappled with such a question? i think religion and like souls and stuff are also a valid route. whatever makes brain not hurt is what will be accepted in the long run. human love brain not hurt

>human love brain not hurt
I mean, the brain have no pain receptors, sooooo...

Maybe the Tobak Foreman?

>>1104709
To join the rank of decomposer is to bring forth life from that which is dead, the realm of divinity. Tippler, how does it feel to touch apotheosis and defy the gods from such a humble act?

Ah, existentialism.

The real question is, what is "me"? For all we know, the will behind our consciousnesses is the same will for every person, and it simply cannot remember its time in someone else's body. I am and all are we, the universe experiencing itself, one life at a time... From that perspective, the meaning of life is life itself. Our purpose is to live, nothing more is necessary. And then, in the far future when no more lives are left to live, that universal will shall finally be finished, and we can but hope that something more comes after. Like an egg ready to hatch.

scavenging is a noble profession

I am me and you are you as a product of complex physics equations its true. But your existence is also an indelible fact. On a metaphysical level the fact that you existed will always be an absolute truth. Not necessarily a comforting notion, but a solid philosophical foundation to build on.

We are surrounded with great unknowns. What exists outside the universe, before it, after it; are all unknowable. So why not hope for the best? Personally I've been moving away from "There will be an immortal afterlife, because most beings would yearn for there to be one and eventually one will transcend to make it." and more towards "There is a universal consciousness and we are just part of it, acting out our lives." The idea of being utterly known and remembered seems neat.

>>1104687
I know that you like chickens and quest master well.
Im sorry to learn about the poor egger who you lost.

So.
Lets see what i can pull out of my arse...
Ah!
Do you believe there is an essential component of self that, while mutable, survives any cessation of consciousness or are we merely the product of a scaffold of neurons and memories housing the current us?
Additionally, do you think we can ever be sure that on cessation of conscious thought the self that awakens from whatever that interruption may be is truly the self of now continued or an entirely new thing that simply fills the grey matter environ like so much conceptual water filling a jug?
Finally, given the variable reliability and the very changable nature of memories, how much do you think of our self will survive to the next year, month, week or even day?

Finally can you draw me an existential crisis wearing a thong?

>>1104755
I typed this out, thought i posted it, wandered off to deal with something, came back and hit reply, saw the ballpark answers to the questions already in thread...

Past me was a poorly made construct.
Bad scaffolding.

Id still like an existential crisis in a thong.

Uh.
Question, question...
Given the furor over egg prices how are you coping with your new found wealth as an eggbaron and has it changed you?

What if rabies evolved and became sentient? What if it's the one in the back-seat and you're just a meat puppet with roadkill cravings? Tits or ass?

>>1104742
>what do you believe
I am an assembly of millions of cells coalescing into something greater than the sum of its parts. Tiny microscopic life forms chaining together their understandings until the collective single cellular consciousnesses are able to comprehend such eldritch truths as fire hot and dying scary. I am their god and their vessel, myself dreaming of cells dreaming me, an egregore of one.

What would you say is your favorite quest world you've run? Not the quest itself, but the setting and its internal machinations. What conceptual reality speaks to you in tones of beauty?

>>1104742
I kinda just threw any sort of belief system out the window, called it a day and decided to just go by the core values of "don't do to someone harm directly or by proxy of my actions" and "as long as it doesn't concern me in the short or long term, let people do what they want to do"

If humans had four arms, would we make characters with six arms because of our innate greed? Or would two be the exotic number now, like having three fingers?

Other people's stories, in and out of questden, have common thematics and manners of expression that help infer the underlying personality of the author.

>Conundrum 3: inevitable aging and suffering
i am scared of the suffering, most certainly. i'm also almost more scared of my parents dying because they're the people im closest to and they're actually old.

i dunno, the grief is going to get me no matter what rationalizations i try to erect in preparation. i have a very low pain tolerance (rip masochist aspirations) so im gonna be fucked the moment chronic illness happens. as consolation i guess death is a mercy at some point.

the only things i can think of doing to help are eating right and exercising, which are supremely, extremely boring. Any exciting methods to stave off pain anxiety people can think of?

Be stronger than pain. Acknowledge the purpose of pain. It's your body's alert system. As long as you keep your shit in check you shouldn't have to worry about it too much.

If it hurts just add more lube.

Hurt before cause is a phantom pain but one that you can help or hinder with its haunting.

We are wired to focus on things that may hurt so we can better avoid them, but not all things are within our power to avoid.
Acknowledge it will hurt.
Thats something you cant control.
...but also recognise that it hurting before it happens is a thing you can.

Dont focus on the hurt that will happen, focus on the fact it does not hurt now.
Turn anxiety of what will be into an appreciation of the moment.
Value that and ensure you make the most of it.
Doing so can dull one of the edges off the coming pains sharpness.
You kill regrets before they have a chance to hurt.

To draw it away from the more vague phrasings and adapt to your specific situation...
every time you find yourself poking the pre- wound of coming loss, turn it into motivation
To know you did everything you could with the time you had.
You cant ever hope to rid yourself of any regrets, were too damn good at picking at mental scabs for that, but you can sure as hell choose to lessen them.
Dwelling on how much youll miss your folks? Coming loneliness and lingering loss?
Take a breath,
remind yourself "one day, but not today"
Then find an excuse to spend time with them or doing something for them.
That you can control, so do it.

Trying to find a form of connection with every new person you meet, so that you always have someone to talk and cling to regardles of where youare of how much time has passed.

Either that or cliff-diving. It requires a lot of training to do right, but doing it wrong ends all of your life's problems!

>>1104791

> About the fear of loss
(un)Funnily, I had the (dis)pleasure of losing three people in my family, including my father, in rapid succession in less than a year (It was last year in fact).
But to anyone's surprise, me included since I never actually lost anyone I cared about before that, and I had no idea how I'd react if actually happened, I ended up being the least affected person by that.
Maybe it's just a dam that's threatening to break down on the first occasion or maybe I'm just that resilient to emotional damage, but I just tell myself that if I was in their place, and I was the one to lose my life, I wouldn't want any of them to be unhappy, and I wouldn't want them to stop living the way they do or be affected by my loss, so I tell myself, maybe, just maybe, my family wouldn't want me to suffer either, so I just keep on going as I always did, forward, not only for myself but also so I can support the other members of my family who may be inclined to have a more emotional responses to it happening (it they did, my mother especially needed me to take care of a lot of things that she basically wasn't prepared for and should never be pushed on someone who mourns that fast, but it is what it is), all of this because I realized that while I am still alive, and they're still alive, it is probably more important that I am there for them because there's still actual people around me who do need my support and getting stuck in my thoughts won't do them any good.

Also, my relationship with life and death has been something I've been internalizing for so long that I've come to embrace it as death being just another part of life, and while people will come and go, their memories I cherish and the moment I spent with them are now engraved for all eternity in the fabric of time, and myself, until I pass, and the other people around me will also do the same.
All in all, I think what is important the moment we pass, and we can have with people, and that's why I focus so much more in the happiness I can get rather than the sadness I could feel.

I have a followup question, at what point does it become apathy? in the internet age the criteria for apathy has become much lower, when like, it's kind of good for me mentally to be apathetic about things like everything in the news and the destruction of the natural world because i don't have control over that stuff

Apathy is the absence of care. It is a closed door from which troubling realities cannot enter, as it never opens. It doesn't have to be applied universally though. You can be apathetic about some things but not others. I can like some shows, hate others, and have absolutely no opinion on many others.

It would be nice to reach a state of apathy in regards to the inevitability of death. This isn't an entirely realistic goal however, so the next best thing would be acceptance. At some point, death will strike, and we do not know what follows from there. It's sad, and it's scary, but it is a waste of our lives to sit around unable to act from fear of it.

Whatever death may bring, it will bring regardless of how much time we spent fearing it.

I think it becomes apathetic if there is a future hurt towards yourself, or someone close to you like family, or friends, but choose to show no interest or concern in it. Especially true if it's something you can actually control or have some degree of control, and even if it's something you can't control, being there for a loved one or doing what you can to get through the rough times, or grieving is enough to show you care and aren't apathetic. For instance, you did say you'd be scared about your parents passing away. It would be apathetic if you didn't.

as far as being apathetic towards things like on the news, or the destruction of the natural world, that's normal and has always have been that case before the internet age.
While it's true there are a lot of bad things happening in the world which we can't control, the news throws all that at us to the point of it becoming white noise, or it causes us to ignore it to keep us from stressing due to the amount of bad news we receive. It's difficult to show concern about everything that social media, or the news throws at us to be completely honest.

I think in this case, if there is something bad that you really don't agree with, or want to make a change, even if it's something you can't control alone, you do things that are within your power like donating, or protesting. For instance, something small like donating a dollar at a grocery store for charity, donating for a cause, or maybe even donate blood to help those who need it.

But only if you're passionate enough or within your power. Even if someone decides not to, I don't see it as apathetic of them. It's probably apathetic if it really hurts you or your friends or family personally. But otherwise, theres so much going on, but at the end of the day, you gotta do what makes you happy and gives your life meaning. Do things you're passionate about and don't let aging and suffering bring those down. Speaking of which, how has fishing been going for you? catch any tasty fish? What fish would you say is most tasty? (sorry if starting to go off tangent here)

Choosing not to torment yourself over things beyond your power to change isnt apathy.
You can care about something greatly, but still know if you let it dominate your thoughts the only thing youll achieve is self torment.

Its easy to slip into apathy, true.
a comfortably numb place to live but i wouldnt recommend it long term.
The gray of that mindset tends to bleed out into the other parts of your life and sap the joy from them.

I guess what im suggesting is practicing a form of compartmentalising.
Not killing your emotional investment in a thing, but putting it aside when it threatens to dominate.
The natural world etc are big problems that we can as individuals do little about.
Invest too much mental energy into it and all youll become is fatigued. A step closer to apathy which, as mentioned, is fine for visits, but no place to stay.
Because the important thing is to do the things you can, little as they are, small as they may be.
Knowing you did what you could when you could, even in the face of the seemingly indefatigable, can be heartening.

In the case of the example of natural world, supporting the right people who have the reach to influence matters is the thing you can do.
Its not much, it may not even help in the long run, but it is what you have the power to do.

I suppose Its a somewhat naive mindset from a certain perspective, but it serves a purpose.
Focus on what you can do, the joy you have and those you share it with. Give headspace to those things and you augment the amount of joy they bring you. The afterglow can be quite warming
Dwell on the things you cannot change, the loss you have yet to feel and the pain yet to come then all you achieve is increasing the overall pain those things will cause in your life.

All of this is far easier to write than put into practice.
I know that implicitly.
Four decades of varying degrees of depression and only two of those treated and medicated.
I came to this point with the following belief.
It is better for you and others when you try to find joy even if you fail because when you choose to embrace the dark youre sure to succeed.

I don't think it really matters if you're apathetic about those things. Whether or not you feel something about any issue is ultimately irrelevant. The issue will still be there, unchanged. Your feelings don't change anything, so you should be free to feel however you want about whatever you want (including not feeling anything if that's what you're inclined to do).
Your feelings are your own and there's nothing wrong with that.

What you DO, of course, does matter. But feelings only matter if they make you do things, and even then it's the act that's important, not the feelings.
And I do think whatever you do does matter. You're probably not going to change everything single-handedly on a large scale, sure. But if you did not do it, it would not have happened, and that's about as meaningful as anything gets, I think.

But I am neither a philosopher nor a psychologist, so I have really no idea what I'm talking about.

Anyway, for your next drawing draw whatever you want, but put too many hats on it.

>>1104812
Apathy isn't a dulled out or static emotional state, it's a complete lack of emotions.
Reaching a state of apathy would mean you feel nothing, neither joy nor pain, not even passion.
Clearly you still move around, think about and do things, this alone shows you haven't entered an apathetic state.

i still fish, but not nearly as much as i once did.

this is where it gets dicey because i deliberately choose not to. most obviously, i consume animal products (and have no intention of stopping) when i believe the vegans are correct about how it's bad that we're torturing factory farmed animals.

i think i have both the power and passion to do something about that, ie, become vegetarian because i ain't givin' up eggs, but meat scratches itch in caveman brain and i value that over the suffering of creatures.

well im going to mark that one as officially off topic and solved by being a hypocrite so let us move on to...

>Conundrum 4: How to social interact
this shit is easy. simply be born with killer blabbermouth genes and a sense of humor. also an active fear of getting beat up if you're rude. i am beloved by all and have fumbled like 3 bad bitches who are irresistibly drawn to my animal magnetism

Bit of a personal take so take it with a grain of salt.
But I believe completely cutting off meat for the sake of doing the morally right thing is an unrealistic approach.
After the vegan craze died down a few years back, it turned out that a lot of people advocating absolute "no meat" diets either had massive deficiencies and had to be taken to a hospital and or well, 'leave' us.
Another rather large chunk were just outright lying, telling people to do what they do and achieve incredible results but then when they were investigated turns out they were taking supplements or even eating meat in the background pretending they weren't.
And at the end of the day any professional nutritionist that isn't either going through heavy scrutiny by their pairs for being shams or advocating specific methods they profit from, will tell you it is just impossible to live a comfortable life without B12 vitamins, alternatives that would give you enough would probably end up poisoning you in the long run if you keep consuming them by being too rich in other nutrients, or you would have to take supplements that end up being... made out of animals anyways!

What society as a whole needs to do rather, as well as people supporting animal well-being is advocating for ethical animal treatment;
It has been studied that if we were to to swap from warehouse chickens or caged chickens into open field chicken husbandry, it would only increase the price of meat and eggs by a mere 5 to 15%, it's hardly anything.
A lot of "bio" farms will artificially inflate the price by giving their animals ridiculous treatments that are pricey (like exotic food substitutes, or massaging the animal and whatnot) just for the sake of selling the product at a premium, but otherwise wouldn't even improve the conditions the chicken is held in.
A vast majority of them are also just lying, because there is no country standards (anywhere) that dictates what is officially "open field/range/bio".
A lot of what could be improved would at most increase food price by 30%, if that's a sacrifice people are willing to take, it would mean animals would get good and healthy lives, definitely better than they would in the wild, and still provide us with produce and meat that we literally need to LIVE.

>Lovable socialite

But how do you reach the unreachable; the ones swooning over the mysterious, silent charms of somebody wearing hot topic and smoking cigs.

Sometimes people win the lottery by just being their goofy selves and someone else finding that appealing. The hard part is selling yourself to a potential partner. That's why it's easier to find communities with you I already have an interest in and look for someone there.

Social interaction...
Were out of my comfort zone now.

Its not that i cant do it, but i cant say i enjoy it particularly.
Face to face i mean.
Really brings me out in an imposter syndrome flare up.

All ive got to add here are a small collection of twee aphorisms.
Like;
People are like jigsaws. You know when they fit together right. Look for where you fit.
Or;
Folk are like lego. Grab on to a few that fit well and build something cool.
Or even;
Good friends are just like mutants. Theyre hard to find in the crowd. Get out your giger counter and see who clicks.
I think that last one was from a fallout game.

See?
All vaguely true total bollocks.

I guess that if you can try to be the kind of person you could tolerate spending five minutes trapped in an elevator with
without resorting to homicide,
thats a good direction to start off towards.

I simply interact with other people as little as possible.

>>1104847
Basically humans need a bit of meat like how we need a bit of sugar and salt issue is the brain evolved to compensate by making humans desire it enough to actively search it out so human desires are inherently unbalanced in a world of functionally endless abundance, basically you dont need to eat meat for every meal, dont support hallal butchering as its uneeded suffering and cruelty, try eating local so the meat is not shipped from some mega farm on another continent, avoid palm oil as third world countries are burning down all there forests to monocrop it, and corn is just unhealthy just as cattlefeed it makes them ungodly fat so corn syrup is worse, seed oil fucks with the brains fat distribution acting as filler taking up space vitamin such as in fish oil would take place and omega 3, butter is surisingly healthy for you as something to use when frying stuff in a pan compared with literally everything else while also plessntly flavoring food

>>1104846
Not having a log of everything said to reference back to makes me really difficult to understand due to my jumping around logic of sorts

If I ever went anywhere social interactions take place I might have advice to give. But alas

>but how does one become 'cool' and sell themself to a potential partner
beats me. im a notorious freak in the streets and a stuffy, boring nerd in the sheets, which is not how it usually works. i think i'd rather talk about sex than have sex-god gave me two perfectly good hands to jack off with, after all.

>you can eat animal products smartly
that is true. this is what i will tell myself to ease all guilt. inner peace restored

>avoid social interaction
thanks to my ancestral hunter gatherer instincts, i need to live in a space with at least one other person or else i quickly shrivel up. this is another reason why i like having parents because they are excellent roommates. i am very fortunate that my skills align with my brain needs

okay! last call for suggestor wisdom, salacious drawings, or questions for me

How about a lewd Moushley, in honor of Ed finally dropping the first chapter of his game today?

I wisely suggest you draw a salacious Princess.

What inspires your quest settings?

How about everybody's favorite Neumono GILF, Pilon?

If you could name any sex action maneuver, what would you name it and would you rather it was famous or infamous? What's your most cursed source of inspiration?

Stay thirsty my friend.

I like to imagine Ceridwen from Dragon Romance cheering me on. Preferably with no panties

I would like to see what Henry and Jess would look like if incarnated as Body's Homunculi.

>>1104871
An awkward and salacious social interaction.
Clothes optional.
Thongs obligatory.

And a question.
If you could expand your menagerie of beasts by one or two, what creature would you like to care for or befriend?
No downsides to consider, magical thinking primed and ready, just your dream companion of a beastly nature.

I have no other art requests, thanks. Do [i]you[\i] have an art request?

How long before you retire

>what inspires my quest settings?
i usually start with normal reality and add a twist that causes the main conflict. Very rare is it I go full world builder because, as i emphasize again and again, i am very lazy.

the dead fish, which i am working hard to master

>if you could have a beast, what would it be?
A rooster so I could hatch my own chicks! sadly being a city slicker roosters are not allowed because of the howling. my dream is a self sustaining barred rock flock where i eat the excess roosters and use the hens for eggs

>Do you have an art request?
i kind of never desire drawings of my ocs which is why i never buy commissions. most of my characters are so simply shaped i might as well draw them myself. i very much appreciate fanart though!

>how long before you retire?
you've likely noticed im producing quest updates at a much slower rate than my peak. this is better for the suggestors, who have time to read and digest, and for me, because i am slowly accumulating real life duties.

i have entirely stopped doing quest art for hire because that was slowly driving me insane from having a long term obligation i had less than full control over. i very much enjoy personal questing and will continue to do it at the every other day rate for long term quests for as long as i have the energy!


thank you for playing lads, see you in a week for the start of henry and jess thread 2
