  • Actually, with what we know of plants, we absolutely do not know if they are or are not sentient conclusively, and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that they do in fact possess the potential capacity to suffer in as much capacity that animals do, just in ways that would be entirely alien to us due to how different a plant's experience of reality is compared to an animal's. Yet, just because their experience is alien to us doesn't mean they do not have those experiences and the evidence suggests that they do have them.

    Plants have complex sensory systems that allow them to communicate, learn, remember, and respond dynamically to external stimuli. They have been found to exhibit Pavlovian responses and collectively manage resources between each other through their root structures and mycorrhizal network.

  • Very big yikes. Makes trying to talk about the game a fucking nightmare on Steam forums because every thread keeps getting highjacked by trolls and rage baiters.

  • Man, I remember when the star map was just a path with dots on it and there was a total of 5 frames. Excal, Loki, and Mag were the starting frames.

    I remember them adding the star map and people hating it cause it made figuring out how to navigate to new planets confusing as fuck before they added in the being able to walk around your Orbiter and the updated mission tracking menus.

    But the community existed and we all helped each other figure it out and progress with each other. Guilds and friendship grew naturally with people who were at the same point of progression you were. Without that community helping figure things out the game wouldn't have been able to get past those growing pains and become the absolute behemoth it is today.

  • It is almost an entirely different game now from the state it was on release.

    It's an indie dev team of a few dozen people and almost self-published if not for some assistance from Sony. They bit off more than they chew with their ambitions and made the mistake of teasing the game too early in the dev cycle while failing to manage the hype build up. They released what they could because development was taking too long and they needed something released or else the doors were gonna close but what was released had some key missing features from what they originally promised and, combined with the game becoming over hyped beyond Hello Games' expectations, resulted in a lot of backlash.

    Even with this massive stumble, they never stopped working on the game and have continued to regularly release massive, game changing content updates (seriously, with the most recent one being released like a few weeks ago adding creature battling) entirely for free and making the game into what they promised it would be.

    Did they shit the bed on release? Yes. That said, did they own up to it and do everything in their power to make up for their mistakes? Also yes.

  • Some dude made very shady mods involving the child character. Huge arguments over this broke out on Steam forums and Twitter, with a good chuck of it instigated by those who don't even have the game (based on Steam data, Twitter it's obviously unknowable). People began saying it's the game's fault for these mods existing and is normalizing pedophilic behavior with roundabout fallacy criticism about the game depicting a father-daughter relationship.

    So now you have a messy mix of actual pedophiles, trolls, and rage baiters who keep bringing the issue up and a bunch of people trying to defend the game from being smeared because of a small set of bad actors and it's spiraling out of control in the fan base.

    The game is an amazing title. The plot is serviceable; not gonna win any Emmys but it's a refreshing new IP which is much appreciated in a sea of endless remakes. The content is paced fantastically to never feel like it's getting stale while managing to not overstay its welcome. The new mechanic with hacking while shooting feels well incorporated and not gimmicky. Different "hacks" and weapon combos make for a lot of freedom in how you tackle enemies with a decent enemy variety makes for very dynamic and enjoyable action.

    Unlockable skins and player challenges aplenty to boot is just good old game design that has been sorely missed about the gaming days of old.

    CAPCOM really knocked it out of the park by making a fun, well rounded game that feels satisfying to play and experience without having to nickel and dime the player or rehash an old IP to do it. The game doesn't deserve the hate it's getting just because a small minority of mentally ill bad actors are using the game to do horrible and immoral things.

  • In the cities sure, but in rural bumbfuck surrounded by miles of cropland and nothing else, man does it get rough and you're likely to get shot if you go trespassing on any of the good land nearby.

    Not even on purpose, just accidentally as people like to shoot their guns out here damn near every day and if you're out in their fields or their tree lines, you risk catching a stray shot.

  • Oh man. I love the PNW. Used to be a truck driver, did hot shot for a few years a decade ago, and fuck me I loved getting called to take a run in that direction.

    Didn't matter if I was being called at 2 AM, if they said somewhere that was there or the New England area my ass was up and chipper because it meant I got to leave the shit hole that is the US South and got a nice, paid, road trip across the country.

  • We came close to a working class movement at the beginning of the 1900s, but the wars took over priority and, with the loss of momentum, we were quickly pacified by an owning-class that did everything in its power to demonize communism in the minds of the people through things like McCarthyism.

    We absolutely can change this society. We just need to start organizing again like they did in the past, with actual goals and an understanding of theory and praxis instead of these pissant weekend walks begging the system to listen.

  • Never said it was moral. I said it was specifically amoral, as in "has nothing to do with your arbitrary sense of morality". Try reading again.

  • I've looked around. There is nothing in this farming town that has absolutely destroyed the local ecosystems to make miles of monoculture cropland.

    Not to mention the community is a US Southern MAGA cesspool. You go knocking doors you're likely to get shot.

    Unfortunately, places like mine are more common than places like yours in this fuck up of a country.
