Doesn't look remotely like a sun.

i am terrible afraid of bad gameplay and aggressive monetization. like seriously afraid. they way people are afraid of spiders. can developer PLEASE introduce a mode to their games that adds good gameplay and removes microtransactions.

>>714802324
You guys were right, he does look retarded

So someone in a group asked me to tell them why I hate the ocean sunfish so much, and apparently it was ~too mean~ and was deleted. To perpetuate the truth and stand up for ethical journalism, I'm posting it here. [Rated NC-17 for language.]
Disclaimer, I care about marine life more than I care about anything else, for real. Except this big dumb idiot. And it's not like an ~ironic~ thing, I mean it IS hilarious to me and they ARE THE BIGGEST JOKE PLAYED ON EARTH but I seriously fucking hate them.
THE MOLA MOLA FISH (OR OCEAN SUNFISH)
They are the world's largest boney fish, weighing up to 5,000 pounds. And since they have very little girth, that just makes them these absolutely giant fucking dinner plates that God must have accidentally dropped while washing dishes one day and shrugged his shoulders at because no one could have imagined this would happen. AND WITH NO PURPOSE. EVERY POUND OF THAT IS A WASTED POUND AND EVERY FOOT OF IT (10 FT BY 14 FT) IS WASTED SPACE.
They are so completely useless that scientists even debate about how they move. They have little control other than some minor wiggling. Some say they must just push water out of their mouths for direction (?????). They COULD use their back fin EXCEPT GUESS WHAT IT DOESNT FUCKING GROW. It just continually folds in on itself, so the freaking cells are being made, this piece of floating garbage just doesn't put them where they need to fucking go.

>>714802593
So they don't have swim bladders. You know, the one thing that every fish has to make sure it doesn't just sink to the bottom of the ocean when they stop moving and can stay the right side up. This creature. That can barely move to begin with. Can never stop its continuous tour of idiocy across the ocean or it'll fucking sink. EXCEPT. EXCEPT. When they get stuck on top of the water! Which happens frequently! Because without the whole swim bladder thing, if the ocean pushes over THE THINNEST BUT LARGEST MOST TOPPLE-ABLE FISH ON THE PLANET, shit outta luck! There is no creature on this earth that needs a swim bladder more than this spit in the face of nature, AND YET. Some scientists have speculated that when they do that, they are absorbing energy from the sun because no one fucking knows how they manage to get any real energy to begin with. So they need the sun I guess. But good news, when they end up stuck like that, it gives birds a chance to land on their goddamn island of a body and eat the bugs and parasites out of its skin because it's basically a slowly migrating cesspool. Pros and cons.
"If they are so huge, they must at least be decent predators." No. No. The most dangerous thing about them is, as you may have guessed, their stupidity. They have caused the death of one person before. Because it jumped onto a boat. On a human. And in 2005 it decided to relive its mighty glory days and do it again, this time landing on a four-year-old boy. Luckily Byron sustained no injuries. Way to go, fish. Great job.

>>714800603 (OP)

Why are phobias used as a replacement for personality nowadays?
You'd never seen in the past someone trying to get victim points for being scared of spiders but nowadays they genuinely act like it's a disability such as being deaf and that game devs should cater to them and if not they are being "ableist"

I get it's trendy to play victim but how do people not find it pathetic?

>>714802593
>>714802758
They mostly only eat jellyfish because of course they do, they could only eat something that has no brain and a possibility of drifting into their mouths I guess. Everything they do eat has almost zero nutritional value and because it's so stupidly fucking big, it has to eat a ton of the almost no nutritional value stuff to stay alive. Dumb. See that ridiculous open mouth? (This is actually why this is my favorite picture of one, and I have had it saved to my phone for three years) "Oh no! What could have happened! How could this be!" Do not let that expression fool you, they just don't have the goddamn ability to close their mouths because their teeth are fused together, and ya know what, it is good it floats around with such a clueless expression on its face, because it is in fact clueless as all fuck.
They do SOMETIMES get eaten though. BUT HARDLY. No animal truly uses them as a food source, but instead (which has lead us to said photo) will usually just maim the fuck out of them for kicks. Seals have been seen playing with their fins like frisbees. Probably the most useful thing to ever come from them.

>>714802970
"Wow, you raise some good points here, this fish truly is proof that God has abandoned us." Yes, thank you. "But if they're so bad at literally everything, why haven't they gone extinct." Great question.
BECAUSE THIS THING IS SO WORTHLESS IT DOESNT REALIZE IT SHOULD NOT EXIST. IT IS SO UNAWARE OF LITERALLY FUCKING EVERYTHING THAT IT DOESNT REALIZE THAT IT'S DOING MAYBE THE WORST FUCKING JOB OF BEING A FISH, OR DEBATABLY THE WORST JOB OF BEING A CLUSTER OF CELLS THAN ANY OTHER CLUSTER OF CELLS. SO WHAT DOES IT DO? IT LAYS THE MOST EGGS OUT OF EVERYTHING. Besides some bugs, there are some ants and stuff that'll lay more. IT WILL LAY 300 MILLION EGGS AT ONE TIME. 300,000,000. IT SURVIVES BECAUSE IT WOULD BE STATISTICALLY IMPROBABLE, DARE I SAY IMPOSSIBLE, THAT THERE WOULDNT BE AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE 300,000,000 (that is EACH time they lay eggs) LEFT SURVIVING AT THE END OF THE DAY.
And this concludes why I hate the fuck out of this complete failure of evolution, the Ocean Sunfish. If I ever see one, I will throw rocks at it.

How can it be slow and clumsy in the water but also have enough energy and speed to jump out and into boats?

I don't like assigning labels to myself, but the Skyrim spiders scare the everloving shit out of me. I think it would've been reasonable for Bethesda to include an arachnophobia option in their game with spiders this terrifying. I genuinely freeze up, rip my headphones off my head, and have to look away from the screen whenever I encounter them. It's their mannerisms, sounds, giant pedipalps, hairy appendages, and 8-limbed locomotion that make them incredibly off-putting. They genuinely hamper my enjoyment of the game, and I dread encountering them whenever I'm out in the wild. I had to mod them out just to play Skyrim without the constant fear of rounding a bend and being chased by one of the giant ones. For someone without a fear of spiders, there's really no way to convey the same sense of terror that spiders can create in an otherwise non-scary video game. Though I don't find most other spiders in games scary, I don't really mind devs putting arachnophobia options in their games considering how common it is.

I won’t claim that doesn’t happen but some retarded teenagers flocking to mental illness to fake an identity does not mean every arachnophobe is faking or exaggerating.
Spiders are often unimportant additions to games that nevertheless prevent people from playing by the threat of being seen alone. If people with the phobia want to play the game and developers want to sell more games then why wouldn’t this simple feature be included?

>>714810692
Phobias can be cured with graduated exposure. Start with vaguely spider-like shapes, then cartoon spider drawings, then more realistic drawings, then photographs, then animated spiders, then videos of spiders, then unrealistic toy spiders, then realistic toy spiders, then real spiders (rearrange list as necessary). It won't be fun and each step might take weeks but it beats being scared of spiders.

Not reallly, unless someone is going to drop it from a crane on you.
It lives under water, and is an extremely slow swimmer. There is no fucking way it can actually "smash" you. It's water so any pressure is going to be lessened, the fish is slow as hell, and very soft, it's more like a floating sack, and it can't even press you against some jagged surface because it would hurt itself more than it would hurt you.

Hell, they literally can't even bite, they can't actually close their jaws. Sunfish are actually fascinating, but they are also probably by far the least dangerous creatures (to humans at least) in the entire sea.

>>714814560
I’m sure that works for some but not for everyone. People have irrational fears. I’m not sure why some people take offense to this fact.

>>714810692
>and 8-limbed locomotion
They barely even have 4-limbed locomotion. I get where you're coming from, because I struggle with ghostly twitchy humanoids and can't play Death Stranding as a result, but let's not pretend Skyrim spiders have any legitimate animations. They basically T-pose as they descend.

This is a filter-feeding fish that's completely harmless to anyone, by the way. It has no natural defenses whatsoever. It continues to live only because it tastes so bad that nothing wants to eat it. They frequently die from sunbathing too long and cooking themselves. They also often die from depression, seeing another sunfish die makes the sunfish give up on living. They spawn absolutely massive number of tiny, planktonic larvaw because they also have no defenses and filter feeders don't care about taste, so that's the only reason they don't all die out.

>>714801491
he cute

>>714802908
Spiders, snakes, heights and stranger phobias are the most common phobias prior to the mental illness parasocial phenomenon, because they have killed plenty of your ancestors. Ancestors that had family that avoided these things lived longer. They are primal fears that come from your genes. There are similar fears but they are not nearly as easy to prove as natural.

All it means is irrational fear, there are plenty of those in everyone.

>>714814991
Finding something "kinda creepy" isn't having a phobia. A phobia means you have a fucking incapacitating panic attack when you're exposed to whatever it is. And unless this person had some bizzaee childhood trauma associated with a sunfish, there's no way they just "have" a genuine phobia of them. This shit is pure attention seeking.

>>714815474

You do not know what the term "filter feeder" means, do you?
Sunfish are suction predators, and damn good at that, actually.

>It continues to live only because it tastes so bad that nothing wants to eat it.
No, it continues to live because it's an incredibly efficient predator and one of the best divers in all of the sea.

>They frequently die from sunbathing too long and cooking themselves.
No, they don't.

>>714815474
>They also often die from depression, seeing another sunfish die makes the sunfish give up on living.

I've heard of exposure therapy before. I'm fine watching videos of tarantulas and daddy long legs alike, and I don't find myself scared by house spiders to the point that I've even held them up by their strings and played around with them before. It's just particularly their depiction in certain video games that freaks me out, strangely enough. I think it's since they're often gigantized and their features and sounds are exaggerated. Which video game spiders garner a reaction from me seems arbitrary, and I can't pinpoint any common features. I have no reaction to the spiders from Minecraft, Terraria, Don't Starve, Hollow Knight and Limbo, but the Witcher 3's arachnomorphs, the black headcrabs from Half Life 2, Silent Hill 2's creepers, the EDF spiders, and especially Skyrim's spiders terrify me. I can handle mantis, radscorpions and mirelurks in Fallout, but radroaches, bloatflies and giant ants I get unnerved by. Again, I'm generally less scared of their real-life counterparts, but the way they're imagined in games can seriously set me off.
>>714815318
It's hard to explain, there's just something about how they move around on the ground. The way all 8 of their legs rapidly spasm in sequence, making a low rumbling noise as they skitter around, it evokes a deep sense of disgust and panic in me. I hate how they leap forward suddenly to bite, their pedipalps fluttering about as they do so, and the way their limbs fall completely limp or curl inward as they die. It's just the worst.

>>714817275
Don't lie to me. I've played Outer Wilds.

>>714819134
>You don't need to lie to defend your waifu fish.
Look it up you spastic. Sunfish spend most of their time in mesopalagic zones, but are frequently seen diving down to 600+ meters below, skirting the edge of the midnight zone.

It's why they sunbathe. The spend enormous amount of their time in areas where oceanic temperature is close zero degrees. They sunbathe to return their body temperature back to normal because their core body temperature can reach absurdly low levels during the process. It's also why they dropped the swim bladder: it would be entirely fucking useless during those pressure shifts.There are very, VERY few fish that can withstand such insane temperature and pressure ranges. Literally everything about their body is specialized for that specific survival strategy, it's why they look so damn weird.

It's also why they are so big. Past 300 meters, you will not find many big predators, so size is a straight up advantage. Not to mention their body works like a giant battery to keep them alive.

They are fascinating. And you are a mongoloid.

>>714817275
thats only the males, the females can get up to 3 feet long.

>>714819864
This was an "unusually large specimen". A female, since males are the size of a grain of rice, and also, the ultimate fucking cucks of nature, since once they find a female, they will literally latch on to her and then digest their own brains, most of their internal organs actually, turning into quite literally just a testicle. One of many, since female will always have multiple of them attached.

>>714814350
I have the phobia and most spiders in games are goofy as fuck and don't trigger it, or they're so unsettling that the fear element elevates the game.

>>714820352
>>714820273
Sorry, that was a shit picture, here is a better one. Again, that one is very much above average size.

>thats only the males, the females can get up to 3 feet long.
That is sea devils and they are a lot less crazy looking. They are however, incredibly tasty.

>>714816292
That thing was on its way to die, for certain. Odd behavior for its species.

>>714820759

Sunfish are pretty spooky but it's literally 1 fish swimming around in 1 level in a game.

>>714820759
there is a record of a krøyers deep sea angler female being over a meter long, and they are frequently recorded around two feet long. they arent usually very big but they can reach a decent size.

aren't sunfish supposed to be incredibly dopey?

>>714813078
In mine it's 'creature with only a head'.
>>714815193
I remember we were once discussing these things on /an/ and it actually turned out that these things actually have did send some people to the hospital and IIRC even killed someone and capsized a couple boats.. They can actually charge forward at some speed and since they weigh as much as a hatchback so they can be about as lethal as one.

I was deeply uncomfortable any time I had to swim over this dark water.
>abzuchad in thread
Nice.
>next game is Abzu+Journey
Double nice.

They can survive without an ass

>>714821447
Hopefully it's good, interesting that they returned to the ocean theme but I'm worried it will be too fast paced to have the nicely designed biomes like abzu. It's one of the only games that really captures the aquarium experience with the curated environments.

>>714821309
>krøyers deep sea angler
Yes. Also known as northern sea devil. And have you ever seen one of them? They look fucking hilarious. Their tiny mouths are so funny. Looks like that anime trope of a fat man trying to kiss a girl.

The creature in >>714816292 is a humpback anglerfish. Wiki states they grow up to around 12 cm, but that entirely contradicts both every single specimen I've ever seen, and what my professors told me, which is an average around 2 centimeters fully grown.

Beautiful game
https://youtu.be/kpr4XgDaJ-o?list=RDkpr4XgDaJ-o

>>714821563
It's not where their ass is, actually. The lower fin is actually their anal fin, means the ass is located immediately behind it.
The chunk that is missing from that fish is just the dorsal fin, which is nearly vestigial to them, it's actually entirely useless in locomotion, it's a weird self-folding lump.
I'm sure it has some purpose or function, probably related to buoyancy or pressure-management, but it's not directly used for swimming, which is why that one lived so long without it

>>714820025
>Past 300 meters, you will not find many big predators, so size is a straight up advantage
What about goblin sharks?

>>714816991
Not to worry citizen, they got that dirty criminal in the end

>>714822282
First of all, Goblin sharks are incredibly rare animals. Second of all, Goblin sharks are incredibly specialized suction predators.

Try using suction feeding on something 3-5 times your size.

I mean, it works for gulper eels, but you've seen the goblin shark jaw.
There is no human way you can actually bite off anything from a sunfish. Those teeth would not even leave a scratch on it.

>>714801737

sunfish CANNOT catch a break

>>714802758
Not having a swim bladder is one thing that is actually smart about that abomination. Swim bladder locks a fish into a particular depth range, but mola-mola can dive freely and eat even dumber deep sea jellyfish. Scientists are still not sure how it manages to sink to abyssal depths and then come back, supposedly they do it similarly to squids who alter their body chemistry to become denser than water. But scientists do know that it starts rapidly losing heat doing that because it's too dumb to realise that it's a warm water fish and can't actually handle near-zero temps of the depths, so they eventually go hypothermic and float back up to the surface in a catatonic state. Like, even more than usual.

>>714812180
It's nice.

>>714821892

>>714822793
>Goblin sharks live well past 300 meters
Yes. They are also some of the rarest fish in the world.
I did not say there are NO large predators. I said that there aren't many. Giant squids, for an instance, do appear at 300+ meters. Just... not very often. Orca's and Sperm whales have been recorded to dive as deep as 1000 meters... on INCREDIBLY rare occasions.

Those are all very, very rare exceptions though. Hence "not that many big predators down there".

No, what I saw was not a male. Males literally do not even look like the same species as females, even before their eat their own brains.

What I saw was all adult female hunchback anglerfish.

>>714823264
They are all the scales of the primordial sea serpent and will reunite to form his body at ragnarok

My favorite conspiracy is that aliens come from brine pools in the ocean and the pressure from the ocean is a weapon meant to keep humans away

>>714823354
the deepest recorded dive for any mammal ever is a sperm whale at just barely under 3000 meters depth.
Not exactly related to your post but I think that's fucking insane. So damn deep.

I love sunfishes, my favourite fish

>>714825809
Not really. You're thinking of extraterrestrial. Alien just means foreigner.

>>714801491

fake ass phobia. Just say you wanted to talk about Revenge of the Sunfish 3.

there's nothing scary in the ocean

>>714808014
Lol, how can a fish like this eat anything when the food practically has to go into its mouth of its own accord since it doesn't seem to make any effort.

imagine accidentally stepping on an octopus

>Have you ever seen the thing in actual scale? Because that will cure you of that fear pretty fast.
It's funny how consistently people seem to fear the abyssal deep when there's really not much down there that could fuck (you) up. Maybe a Squid, or a sperm whale that showed up to say hello. The massive chompers on those "terrifying" pelagic creatures can't puncture your suit, they could hardly puncture your skin. Their muscles are practically water, gelatinous from the deep ocean pressing down on them at every angle.
>B-b-but what about gigantism in -
Shut the fuck up!!!! Animals get stupid-large in cold climates because Big = Warmer, something like a rat can lose all their body heat in a lick of the arctic wind while big fat bears can survive off layers of thick insulation. This is why tiny animals have enormous caloric needs (ounce for ounce) compared to larger animals. The arctic is also incredibly calorie-rich, which allows many animals to survive there. That can't happen in the deep sea because the only food you get is manna from heaven.

"Literally just swim around with your mouth open" is an ocean meta build.

Fun fact, you're not safe in space.

Anon i dont know how you think sun fish operate but they can definitely swim. Im not sure about the jumping on boats bit but they haul ass if they need too.

Abzu makes me feel weird in my stomach

Sunfish + Oarfish = Opah fish
