Never had to be rescued before, the entire ocean was just like "you are coming with me now". Woman on the rescue surfboard next to me saying she's been swimming there fifty years and never had that anything like that happen before

Shoutout to the Gold Coast lifesaver who prevented me from dying in some kind of bizarre freak rip like half an hour ago... always swim between the flags it's not a joke

I love the terraformed Mars map so much, like what goes on in the canyons of the Vallis Marineris? Anime cyberpunk megacity imo

I lived in Montreal on student exchange for a year so I do have some sort of personal relationship with the hidden American canal system that goes in through the St. Lawrence, crosses to the Mississippi at the Chicago portage, comes out at New Orleans. World where Vikings discover this in 999

Have genuinely always wondered about this - what's the go with Chicago as a Lake City, America's inland sea. Weirdly characterless body of water. Should be more ghosts than just the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
