and Xijinpingist was still a moderator when they finally got banned for this shit lmao

At least action was taken quicker relative to the last problematic mod

Eh…they’d posted weird race essentialist shit about China before and didn’t catch a ban

I have to imagine it’s mostly early access concerns. The game is still very fun but it’s also equally unfinished - I expect they’ll add some more viable creature deterrents as the development continues

The worldbuilding and ecology in this one is actually really interesting, and it makes a note that this world actually appears to have no plant life whatsoever - everything is some strange form of animal life, all the “plants” includes.

So I don’t think it’s technically possible to play vegan in this one sadly

Played Subnautica 1 and 2 and never went out of my way to kill creatures, but…

If they’re committed to the no-kill rule, Subnautica 2 really needs a way to get aggressive creatures to fuck off for more than 10 seconds.

Some little bastards (looking at you, Sitaray) will just continually attack you or your submarine about every 5 seconds. You can throw a flare or bop them with your sonic resonator to stun them for a few seconds but if you have to do anything in the area it becomes extremely tedious having to stop everything to tell the shark to politely piss off again and again. They will stop at nothing, ignoring all prey species or the fact that your sub is inedible, just to whittle your ship’s hp down

I’m not gonna mod the game to kill fish but some sort of sonic or electromagnetic deterrence field would be really nice.

Please enjoy

Hey, I’m going to the Bear Pits tomorrow. Ya wanna come with?

I can’t stand the Pits now! You don’t know what you’ve missed. They just don’t make bears like they used to…

rightwingers would kill at cheesy C&C vids

Can’t forget this classic

Trump’s scans scale him to low nth-dimensional outerversal, still loses to Goku

we were playing soul calibur in my apartment

I was there, but Luigi would only pick Inferno so I think we should kill him anyway

The bees probably have a lot fewer goblin problems, since every one’s got their own Sting

Money Plane

Wait til I get going!

there’s just so much Card weirdness to choose from

And that was before we get to the ethnically homogenous planet of genetically engineered tiny chinese people with OCD

Plot and lack of coherent worldview more so than politics, since the political angle is really glossed over. Minor spoilers since it’s introduced in the first five minutes but

Watched it - it was alright. Absolutely stunning animation, top tier honestly, pretty weak on the writing and character fronts though. It very much had a Korra-adjacent plot and major conflict.

Virgin birth and ascended to heaven (before death), but not divine/son of god/part of a trinity - if I remember correct (big heap of salt), there isn’t a universal belief in “original sin” in Islam. Someone more knowledgeable please correct me though
