  • The way I see i t, respect all human life is the baseline. For me it takes quite a bit for someone too fall below that baseline enough that I’m upset that they’re still alive (and honestly, I don’t like that said people have made me feel this way).

    But not everyone deserves respect. That privilege can be given up if you’re evil or shitty enough.





  • Still happens.

    Animal Well was coded by one guy, and it was ~35mb on release (I think it’s above 100 at this point after a few updates, but still). The game is massive and pretty complex. And it’s the size of an SNES ROM.

    Dwarf Fortress has to be one of the most complex simulations ever created, developed by two brothers and given out for free for several decades. The game, prior to adding actual graphics, DF was ~100mb and the Steam version is still remarkably compact.

    I am consistently amazed by people’s ingenuity with this stuff.

    Well if the two options I have are: continue being able to afford to live while doing a job that can now be done by a machine, or to just let it happen with zero safety net and let the good vibes from the naive optimism of “if enough people go hungry, then things will have to change.” I know what I’m choosing and I’m sure that will be a great comfort in that time




  • From what I’ve seen, don’t expect a polished, marketable “Beta” or “Early Access” even. It seems like they really rushed to get this one released by the date they chose in advance (one of the dev’s birthday I think?), and therefore is missing tons of features and in many cases just straight up broken.

    I’m gonna wait til this one is a little more baked before giving it a try, otherwise I’m worried the ensuing frustration might ruin the mode for me once it’s actually working as intended.
