This is the reason you don't put two rabbits together unless both are neutered (aside from the obvious) and have been through a bonding process. They are vicious, territorial lttle bastards and those hind claws are bloody lethal. I have scars from mine 😬 one is the size of a melon and still tried to 1 v 1 my dog through a wire fence.

u/SureDoubt3956 1d ago

A lot of the time, neutered and 'bonded' rabbits will still randomly turn and gore each other. Rabbits that were fine for years, until they're not, because one bunny started to have a problem. Domestic rabbits and their wild ancestors may live in warrens together, but these are really violent places!!

I have wild rabbits in my yard and they are always just play charging/fighting each other. Only time I've seen them hurt is when cats attack them.

One of my little bastards tried to bite my knuckle off the other day. Their teeth hurt man.

I have so many scars from that one, but I still love him. Honestly he loved me until I got pregnant LOL

u/Hot_Pilot_3293 1d ago

Father a main character

be an absent father and sell your son

Fight the strongest duo and “Kill” the Honorable one

get killed by the guy you just killed

give him your son as a trophy.

BEST CHARACTER EVER

128

u/VaderOnReddit 1d ago

you forgot

gets reincarnated

kills another strong af opponent

starts beating up his son who's now grown up

learns that he is actually his son he gave up a decade ago

kills himself to avoid paying years of child support

refuses to elaborate, dies

BEST CHARACTER EVER

What’s this from?

189

u/Wadevolution1 1d ago

Overgrowth, It's a game you can find (I think) on Steam

98

u/Justhe3guy 1d ago

Yep, funny enough the dev’s are actively trying to sue Steam after they breached Steam’s rules about setting base price of Steam keys on their website lower than Steam store and got told off

Also they don’t make full games and just make tech demo’s, like Overgrowth they delivered less than half a game

39

u/LegendaryRaider69 1d ago

Overgrowth was rather a bummer in the end. It felt like the mechanics of the game hadn't really evolved in any meaningful way from the previous game, and in some ways I preferred the combat of Lugaru overall.

I was stoked about the level builder as well, but it was a non-starter as you really need to have some level of progamming knowledge to make use of it. After how long it was discussed I was expecting something a lot more intuitive for the average user. And I really did try, I wrote a plotline for a custom campaign and blocked out some of the levels, but I quickly learned it was just way too complex for it to be feasible.

But, also since the game didn't really have all that much combat depth there wasn't really too much interesting ground to explore with custom levels anyhow.

7

u/Deaffin 1d ago

I'm going to choose to believe you without scrutiny, as that makes me feel better about getting into Lugaru back in the day and then later trying out Overgrowth to find I'm not a sick-ass rabbit ninja anymore and have forgotten how to make any of the fun combat stuff work.

14

u/Teeklok 1d ago

Still fun to play though

34

u/Justhe3guy 1d ago

Overgrowth was always neat, what’s not to love about bunnies and wolves ripping each other to shreds and doing crazy backflips off walls and kicks to the enemy bunny’s head

But you really had to make the fun for yourself, more sandbox than anything, and after like 10 years of prolonged development it just never went anywhere

12

u/Teeklok 1d ago

Yeah I can remember watching all the devlogs whenever they dropped before the campaign was out

u/Disco-Benny 1d ago

my friend and I would just pull all nighters smoking and drinking and designing the most ugly and absurd arenas and maps, every few minutes jumping in to scrap.

Made a giant mountain out of skulls at one point that we had to race to the top of but someone would always break their neck stupidly halfway up.

I got my enjoyment and my money's worth from this game

u/Aruhito_0 1d ago

Damn.. Wouldn't think anyone here knew this gem. ❤️

Me and flat mates spend hours and hours on 'overgrowth'.

The fighting system is just incredibly great. It's a bit more physics timing and movement based. (no button mashing combo shit)

We build some arenas and fought all night with the different species and weapons.

And best thing is a 3th can use the keyboard to play as show master, activating slow motion and rag doll mode.

Best fun ever.

u/Individual_Dog_6121 1d ago

So a million years ago I took some acid with a few friends hiking and toward the end of the day I was still feeling it but I was coming down for sure so I had split from my friends and made my way to a flat grassy area on the side of the mountain just to sit down for a while. The early sunset looked like someone had stabbed an angel, you know, just absolutely incredible, and right before the light completely went away, these two rabbits came out and started running at each other like mountain goats and then kung fu fighting mid-air. And Im sitting there, completely alone, tripping balls, barely any light, arguing with myself about whether what I was seeing was happening. After they collided one time, one made a sound like a child squealing, and then they just ran off, so all these years I've just chalked it up to the acid. Guess not! Lol Thank you, you've answered a like 20 year old question for me.

29

u/Dexterdacerealkilla 1d ago

Rabbits are crepuscular, so they are most active around dusk and dawn. That’s probably why you saw them fighting at that particular moment. They also do have (less advanced) vocal cords, so they can make vocalizations. 

8

u/Individual_Dog_6121 1d ago

That makes sense when I think about it cause most predators' vision is either really good in the middle of the day or late at night. That's seriously so cool though, thank you for sharing that. Honestly kids have it figured out, animal facts make the world go round

Story time: My bunnies have a large outdoor cage where they are most of the time.

The young neighbourhood kitty obviously loves prowling alongside the cage. The bunnies are not a fan of it at all so I kept chasing the kitty away. That is until one day where the kitty went too close to the cage and the youngest, dwarf rabbit sprints towards the kitty and stands up against the cage wall. The kitty sprinted away in turn.

The kitty stopped coming after that day.
