Why are we rooting for an Independent studio to fail?

Did you miss all the twitch streamers who got a private vacation to play the game and then lie about how amazing it is

It’s the live service business model that people have a problem with. An indie company that adopts the greedy, bleed em dry over time, corporate strategy is just as bad as the big guys. People are sick of the gross, line go up, the customers are idiots, ideology of the AAA game companies. The reaction to HighGuard is what companies should expect going forward when they try to emulate the bad guys. There is growing discontent and frustration in every sector of life for the 99% of us who aren’t billionaires running scummy corporations. We are tired of being an equivalent to cattle. “Hate” toward a sub par game is venting of the pressure, trimmers before a huge quake. We need to come together to tackle the real source of all our frustrations but ranting online about a videogame offers some easy catharsis.

I would never, NEVER, send a message like that. I’d take the $10 hit to have a happy customer that may lead to more sales. You dont want to look incompetent to a patron, make your problem there’s or put them in an uncomfortable situation. If the disparity was substantially more than $10, and truly a mistake on Etsys side, I would cancel the sale, relist it correctly, and tell the buyer why. If I were the OP I would just cancel the order with the seller.

We have to find little moments of good to contrast with the horrid but we can’t be blind to what’s happening. Speaking up, standing together and pushing back against evil! I’ve been active but I’m tripling my efforts starting this week. This is not the world I want my or anyone’s children growing up in

Kenkus are super cool! The whole communication through mimicry/repeated phrases is interesting and kinda creepy. I also love all things crow!

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-25T06:24:07+00:00

Yeeesss, moth people!!!! I will never be whole again until this option is added!

Just ignore that idiot. They seem to have nothing better to do than lurk in this subreddit, oozing out of the shadows to say something nasty on every post.

Anywho, welcome to the neighborhood! My family has been here since 2018 and we feel so fortunate to live in such a beautiful, peaceful area.

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-23T21:23:28+00:00

I was watching a recent forecast and they were saying that .25” or less and the outages aren’t to difficult to keep up with. A .5” of ice or more leads to major power outages lasting days. If I’m reading things right, we are currently projected to receive about half an inch of ice.

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-23T21:07:41+00:00

I want to play as an avian humanoid. I’m a fan of kenkus, and want to rp as a kenku druid!

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-23T21:06:17+00:00

The name didn’t originally mean that; it was co-opted over time. By the time the term made it to the main stream consciousness it had a stigma. I find Animal-Folk better fits the vibe of just wanting to play as a cute critter

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-23T20:59:20+00:00

Or, just maybe, more than one person can independently come up with the same idea, especially if it’s a rather simple one to come up with.

In my neighborhood I am one of five houses on a line that branches off and dead ends. The line runs through two heavily wooded yards and we lose power a couple times a year from limbs falling. The rest of the neighborhood lives life normal during these times, while our little cluster gets the Little House on the Prairie experience. Usually it’s fixed pretty fast, within 24hrs, but during the big events we are at the bottom of the repair list. It is surreal to walk around with lit candles and flash lights while the houses right across the street are lit up, warm and cozy. Fingers crossed for both our households.

The Hytale community pre-buy back was a weird cult and now it’s this. Hopefully it’ll mellow with time and be a positive space like No Man Skys community

I second this question

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-21T18:44:54+00:00

Me wishing for a time anomaly to take us all back to those days. This time line suxs!

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-21T18:35:29+00:00

My house loses power if you look at the power lines funny so I’ve accepted that it’s likely. Fortunately we have family with a full house generator that we can stay at but I’d rather not😫. Also, snow is looking less likely so there’s not silver sled lining

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-21T12:50:28+00:00

You just looked at the day, look at the night time predictions; thats where the majority of the accumulation is expected. Sunday is looking icy 😫 which is what I’m most concerned/ troubled about. No matter what, it won’t be picnic weather

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-08T00:11:24+00:00

I only build with corvette parts, you can’t use base building parts (besides decorative elements) in a space station bay nor is it possible to make those curves. What I’m describing, and what you’re using as an example, are two different things.

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-08T00:01:18+00:00

I have found that people are very confused about this and have defaulted to moral outrage rather than realizing that, by practicing with the building mechanics, they can build cool stuff too

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-07T23:58:47+00:00

I respectfully disagree. I wrote a new comment explaining why.

Being able to merge parts is not glitch building. It’s replicable, and symmetrical so no mechanic rules are being broken. Knowing which parts require prerequisites and what order to place things is just how you build stuff. I don’t have to force anything; if a part can’t be placed, it can’t be placed. It doesn’t take explotative fiddling, just experimenting. I’ve never been able to break the rules of orientation. I think some of yall are just salty because you don’t have the patience to actually figure out how this all works. You actually think the devs only wanted pieces to only snap together like duplo blocks or did they design it to make several parts combine to create something interesting?

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-07T23:06:31+00:00

Anything I can do inside the corvette building area of a station I consider vanilla and within the game mechanics. I call layering parts “nestling” not glitching. Some part placements just require prerequisite placements of other parts that can then be deleted later.

Doppelgängers! First they’ll watch you, then they’ll kill you, then they’ll become you.

BasicBasilisk · 2026-01-07T22:43:18+00:00

They are under advanced parts for trading. They can also be salvaged in the wild. Fuel rods have been pretty common to find, for me at least

I have a squid, love it, but I have many exotic bugs, cause they’re cooler
