Quote from: PhantomCatClock on May 11, 2026, 03:14:42 PMthere is a whole single* player Monkey Island game in Sea of Thieves and it's honestly not shorter than the first game [...]

what does this mean it sounds interesting

any island you can wake up (ie log in) on has a lady on the beach in a tent where you can start a """"tall tale"""" ("""quest""") where you're still playing Sea of Thieves, but it sends you to an instanced Melee Island (which does not necessarily have to be singleplayer, but I mean, if you want a Monkey Island do it alone)

There's a lot of tell-don't-show where they try to tie it into the Sea of Thieves plot (SoT is pirate heaven and Guybrush was supposed to go there but did not) at the beginnings and ends of each chapter, but the juicy middle part is you running around with your Sea of Thieves loadout* and your Sea of Thieves ship is parked at the dock, but then it's a first person Monkey Island game in that medium


*somewhat annoyingly, you do need a sword. Other slashing items won't work for some of the scripted interactions

but yeah, 130 gigabyte download aside, there's a free monkey island game that i feel like most monkey island fans haven't even heard of

if you care about plot, you can glean most of it from the FIRST CHAPTER of the pirates of the caribbean crossover quest (don't do the later chapters, jesus) but you really could just do the tutorial, log in to the main game (even on "Safer Seas" (no PvP)), and talk to the lady at her tent to start Monkey Islanding. I guess technically you talk to the book next to her to start

actually, in case you do want to do that, other non-intuitive stuff:
• hold Q then hit spacebar to see your quest stuff (which, in Monkey Island mode, means Monkey Island stuff)
• press X to drop whatever your holding, if you need your weapons / to pick something else up

I guess that's it, minus that there is one actual Sea of Thieves-style ship battle at the very end of the last chapter (though I don't THINK you can lose it... if nothing else, avoid rocks and the NPC will do the cannons for you)

I stared at your posts for like a full minute after reading them and still had to do a search lol

surely he doesn't literally mean Monkey Island

that's so amazing it doesn't seem possible

you may have lost me at 130gb though, good lord

I bought too many books and now my bedroom smells like barnes and noble

yeah can I get-uuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh son of baconator please. yeah the combo.

til Frog and Toad and The Wind in the Willows have basically nothing to do with each other and are completely different stories from different authors in different eras and countries, they just each happen to have a character who is a toad named Toad so my brain decided they're the same thing

you can blame disney if you consider ichabod a human toad

dez nuts

I don't think the throne from game of thrones would actually look like that if it were real. nobody makes the king's seat look like an uncomfortable stabby hunk of shit, it's impractical

nice thread title

Louisiana has a long history of license plates with a pelican on them. the current plate is something else, but they were doing the pelican as recently as 2024. back in the early 20th century before detail graphics could be screened onto a plate, there are some cute wonky pelican images simplified for the metal die

anyway GTF🦆AFM seems to be an available combination but now you'd need to use a sticker, and I don't live in Louisiana anyway
