Spoilers, I guess. Also I suspect this will just be reiterating what many of you already know.

All my life I've had trouble wrapping my head around cosmic horror, how could murdering humans not be personal? I played and enjoyed both the original deadspace, and the remake. But now that I'm an adult, trudging my way through the Ishimura finally clicked with me how horrible this truly is. Now I get it, I truly understand. The marker, the brethren moons, they don't want to kill us. They have no qualms with us at all. But we are unfortunately made out of construction material. They just want our meat, and that's all we are to them, meat. Would you feel horrible for cutting down a tree for lumber?

I came up with a small mental exercise to help me grasp the concept of infinity, and unknowable motivations. Imagine you're a foreman, working on a highway that would connect a village to a hospital. This is ultimately a good thing that will benefit many of your people, but in the way of your construction is an ant hill. What are you gonna do? Divert the whole road around one ant hill? Or go down to the ants and explain to them why their home needs to be destroyed and why all of them will likely die? Would you lose sleep over an ant hill? You don't hate the ants. They've done nothing to you, and you most likely wouldn't blame them for trying to bite your machinery as you steamrolled them. It's a bummer, but it's nowhere near enough to cause so much as a delay. And that's all we are to them, an inconvenient obstacle. But I figured Issac would be more of a wasp rather than an ant, light, nimble, and able to hurt you, but still never kill you.
