    Nah, i knew i had it. I’ve almost drowned twice in my lifetime. When I was a kid I got caught in undertow and then as an adult a tubing event went wrong and I was pulled behind a boat by a rope around my arm and neck. I know thalassophobia is more of a fear of the abyss/unknown but since that last incident pretty much anything involving natural bodies of water gives me anxiety.

      Holy fuck. Those are some pretty nasty experiences. No wonder they led to you having such a fear. I honestly don’t think I could play a game like Subnautica, if it was me. So I think it’s very impressive that you have, and even beat it twice. You’re made of sterner stuff.
