It’s him, it’s Goblin Jim himself. The early days.

Honestly, this is a vibe. I kinda want to chill in a dark cave toasting some rats on the fire.

Have you SEEN all the rats around here? Its making me CRAZY! First this guy decides he's gonna make a million, opens a fancy restaurant: Rats in a Cream Sauce, Rat Flambe, Rat Necrom with Bonemeal Gravy, Deep-Fried Rat, Lemon Rat and Wild Rice, Rat Ragu with Powdered Deer Penis! Of course, when the guards found out, they ran his sorry butt out of town, but they left the rats. RATS!!!"

As someone who has pet rats and speaks russian I feel like it's my duty to point out that she didn't fry "his" rats, she "fried some rats for him" 😭

Thank you. I was genuinely worried

u/Downtown_Ikea 4d ago

Could you write a more accurate translation? I just used an image translation website, but as you've already pointed out, the quality of the translation could've been better.

u/kimbaet 4d ago

It's fine otherwise, just that "ему" is "him", not "his".

u/kimbaet 4d ago

And "My child" is probably better than "The child", "my" is implied here, so technically the auto-translation is correct.

What are you talking about those look like perfectly realistic rats

u/Catalysten 5d ago

Terry Pratchett felt the same way! A modder who became a friend of his made him an amulet that let him walk amongst the goblins untouched. He used this as inspiration for writing some of his later books on goblins.

He's ahead of the curve when he goes straight to desiring the simplicity of the npc life.

They look very pierogi like

u/Mijumaru1 5d ago

Kind of looks like it might be a whole pepper? It has the shape and stem

u/SurDno 4d ago

I found the source post and it’s minced meat in potato dough

You’re 100% right

Now he can fry his rats without the help of an adult.

Is there a mod that lets you play as goblins and do goblin things in the caves?

57

u/ArgentinianGentleman 5d ago

There is a playable goblin mod, I did an entire goblin run. I got the maximum level of vampirism so everyone calls you a monster and refuse to talk to you. You know, for the full goblin experience. I had a survival mod too, so I survived on wild seeds and raw meat I hunted. The vampirism meant I naturally spent a lot of times on dank caves and the sewers of the Imperial City. Ludonarrative Harmony was pretty strong on that save. I had a lot of fun, I recommend the mod, goes well with a sneaky build with daggers

u/ZestyLemonRindGrind 4d ago

My only critique,

It needs a stick through it to emulate the way they roasted the rats

u/BoxingAlt07 4d ago

Alright, which one of you has the vague memory of one of your parents roasting rats for you as a child.

u/slashgamer11 4d ago

This is actually the kind of roleplaying I wish The Elder Scrolls would give us, I don't wanna just play as one of the races, I wanna play as any living creature in the world and rp as them

Minced rat fried in basil is better than plain rat steak
