Make Us Whole: A Dead Space Deep Dive
This episode of Acceptable Losses is a deep dive into the cosmic horror and corporate negligence of the Dead Space universe. Join Dk, Kirioth, and The Remembrancer as they trace the timeline from Earth’s 21st-century energy crisis to the total biological collapse on the USG Ishimura. We’re covering it all: the discovery of the Black Marker in the Chicxulub crater, the orchestrated martyrdom of Michael Altman, and how the Church of Unitology used "tangible proof" to eclipse every other religion on Earth. We also look at the bloody history of the Sovereign Colonies, from the Secession Wars to the "Scenario Five" purge on Tau Volantis. Finally, we break down the Aegis VII incident in full, weaving together the stories of Lexine Murdoch and Gabe Weller from Extraction with Isaac Clarke’s desperate search for Nicole Brennan on a ship where every corpse is a potential predator.

Babe wake up, just learned the Dino-cide started the ice age
I'm glad they covered this. Don't feel like the game is for me. I always hated being the "fix it guy" in games. Feels like all the NPCs are just always hiding in other rooms telling you what to do.
To be fair, in the remake it's still very on-the-rails, but at least your character has a dialog back and forth with the npcs about what to do.
This was a great episode; hopefully we can get a follow up to make us whole.
Dead space 2 and 3 episode next month?
33:47 Earth Defense Force mentioned 🙌 E. D. F!!!!!!!!! as much as I want to immediately belt into the anthem, I just now realized you guys might like some more lighthearted sci-fi in regards to the EDF games for lore. It's still technically grimdark but the execution is anything but.
Great episode fellas. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope we can get a follow-up episode!
OMG OMG OMG. DEAD SPACE!!! OMG IM EXCITED!!!! Also Hyperion cantos!!!
"She turned herself into a PEZ DISPENSER" I'm fucking done.
So dead space remains as the single worst thing ive ever seen. Flood, tyranids? Whatever gimme the blicky. NECROMOPHS? KILL ME. NOW. THEN TAKE MY LIMBS AFTER YOU BLOW MY SHII SMOOVE OFF
Necromorphs are worse than the tyranids and the flood. The markers/ brother moons are the reason there is no life in the universe
I can't believe we got an episode with Meat Moss without Pancreas
ANDYYY MORE OF ANDY PLS MORE MORE MORE
"Drill baby, drill!" I shout, placing my cowboy hat atop my spacesuit helmet.
This should be good... I know nothing about Dead Space.
Hell yeah brother!!!
Yes one of my many horror loves
Let’s go! Nobody in space can hear you scream.
