Think again. Today on Acceptable Losses, we are peeling back the high-tech veneer of sci-fi’s favorite shortcut to reveal the visceral, molecular nightmares lurking in the buffer. From the very first cautionary tale in 1877 to the absolute trauma of Star Trek’s Tuvix, we’re breaking down the five tiers of teleportation horror. Whether it’s being "telefragged" into a bulkhead, split into your worst primal self, or fused with a housefly, we’re asking the big question: Do you actually survive the trip, or does the machine just build a very convincing replacement?

Dead Space Ignition: Franco Delille and Karrie Norton's sabotage of the Sprawl's systems under the manipulation of the Church of Unitology. Dead Space 2 (Main Game): The full Titan Station outbreak, Director Tideman's massive replica Marker, and Isaac's brutal push to Site 12.

The Republic's Self-Inflicted Downfall | Star Wars Lore

Support us and get episodes early: https://www.patreon.com/c/AcceptableLosses Join our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/nhX9NJ3EW7 Merch: https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/acceptable-losses For 25,000 years, the Galactic Republic stood as a beacon of democracy, but its eventual collapse wasn't just the work of the Sith—it was an inside job. In this episode of Acceptable Losses, DK, Kirioth, and PancreasNoWork join the table to break down how the Republic and the Jedi Order effectively orchestrated their own doom. We dive deep into the extreme disarmament of the Ruusan Reformations, how the Senate abandoned the Outer Rim to pirates, and how corporate entities literally bought their way into galactic politics. We also explore the Jedi's catastrophic fall from grace—transforming from mystical peacekeepers into corrupt political lackeys who rubber-stamped war crimes and directly created villains like General Grievous. By the time Order 66 was issued, the Republic had already become an oppressive war machine. Turns out, when it came to blindly enforcing the will of a corrupt Senate, the Jedi were just following orders.

Gaia is Dead: A Deep Dive into Werewolf: The Apocalypse

Support us and get episodes early: https://www.patreon.com/c/AcceptableLosses Join our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/nhX9NJ3EW7 Merch: https://shop.orchideight.com/collections/acceptable-losses Welcome back to Acceptable Losses. In this episode, DK, Kirioth, and PancreasNoWork dive headfirst into the bloody, grimdark lore of Werewolf: The Apocalypse. To be a Garou in the World of Darkness is to be a rage-fueled, spiritually driven eco-terrorist fighting a desperate war to save a dying world from the horrors of industry and corruption. Before we get to the bloodshed, we navigate the absolute maze of World of Darkness publishing history—breaking down the differences between the Old World of Darkness, the Chronicles of Darkness, and the 5th Edition reboots. If you're looking for a tabletop setting where you can tear a vampire's head out through their ass, you've come to the right place.
