The 'worldbuilding' of it is quite cool. Funny worm god (yaldabaoth), interesting 'secret twist'. Ties to more ancient religions (manichaeism).

Shame that one of the primary historical 'reasons' it exists is antisemitism. TLDR, is it was made as kinda of a way to say 'the old testament (jewish) god was a fake evil demiurge, and to worship him is to worship evil'. So, just a different way of wording 'jews actually worship satan'.

Yup, good ol' vulture capitalism.

Make a corpse, pick its bones, and fly away to the next meal.

Shareholders 'in on it' can make a tidy profit too, so they don't care that their new CEO or owner or w/e has track records likes these. 'What's that? You killed the last five companies you bought?' Eyes bulge with looney toons dollar signs.

What more amazing is that people can look at this system and say "look buddy, you don't have to like it, but capitalism just works, unlike your gommunism bullshit."

A: 5 (in house) or 4 (out).

B: Room temp (ideally, cool, but I'd take room temp over ice cold)

Can we please not use 'schizo' like that?

Its an offshoot of the subreddit 'credible defense' for ghouls to talk seriously about military stuff. So the 'non-credible defense' is just because they wanted a 'shitpost' sub to shitpost while being neoliberal ghouls.

You're browsing Reddit. Stop that. Its well know Reddit causes watery shits.

Pretty sure Putin doesn't care who wins, both are terrible for the US. But you're right that this is absolutely the right thing for him to say to do some pot stirring

Letting out a sigh, somewhat similar to eyeroll in meaning

I think its about intent. While the DF devs could spend more effort on keeping players from being maniacs, it still doesn't seem like the want the players to be terrible to children. In fact, some of the worst stuff (danger rooms as child abuse training zones, and mermaid bone farms), were specifically targeted in patches to no longer be 'good' strategies.

As opposed to a lot of other games, who's inclusion of 'punching children' seems like they're doing it to be 'edgy and subversive'. And the 'child snatching' thing is just classic fairy tale, and also would be a real danger if you're living in the wilderness around predator animals.

He should have the wolves sicced on him then.

The normal, 'people eating' wolves.

C'mon, the correct response to finding a friends weird porn is to bully them, not to snitch

Unless is to volcel-police of course.

It is modded. I'm just not interested in the minecraft formula anymore. I know there's plenty of unique stuff out there, and some of the automation mods did catch my interest for a few hours, but idk, the overall 'feel' of the game just gives me a big 'been there, done that' feeling. Its not really cozy for me, just tedious.
