Does anyone else think it's weird that the fish in Mass Effect 2 need to be fed like EVERY FUCKING HOUR, but the space hamster never needs to eat anything? Every time I ask someone this question, they just look at me weird and walk away. One of my friends even said, "Because it's a SPACE HAMSTER, Heather. It probably lives off, like... SPACE."
Okay, for one thing, that's just ridiculous. How could any living creature live off SPACE? It's just not logical. Another of my friends went so far as to say, "I dunno... they probably just eat the same thing as regular hamsters." That is also completely illogical. A space hamster has a totally different genetic makeup than a regular hamster, otherwise the distinction wouldn't be made in the first place. Chances are, regular hamster food would seriously fuck up the space hamster's digestive track. And that would be sad. No one wants to walk into their Captain's Quarters and have to dispose of a half-rotted rodent corpse. That's just nasty.
I suspect that this obsession with finding out what space hamsters eat stemmed from my rage at having to clean the dead fish out of my fish tank. Twice. I can't even remember to turn the oven off after I make a frozen pizza, and those tools over at Bioware expect me to feed my FISH every time I board the Normandy? I have more important things to worry about. Like the safety of the entire fucking GALAXY, breh.
I'm really glad that I have this blog, because I can just imagine what sort of things will go through my head when I look back at it again twenty years from now.
