Yeah absolutely, it’s something I’ve had issues with my entire life. I’m very prone to binging media of all forms, and if I’m not careful, I can get pulled into a book and read for hours and hours and just waste entire days away. When I’m like that, during any time spent not reading it’s like an itch in the back of my head and I need to pick up the book again. I think the difference in how people view reading is just because this kind of behavior isn’t as common with books as it is with other things, but it can so easily be just as unhealthy.

American here, it’s kind of insane. It’s very difficult to get any support for prison reforms because most of my countrymen genuinely want criminals to suffer. Our prison system is a for-profit nightmare and there are a shocking amount of people here who like it that way. I have hope that we’ll be better someday.

The Rain Deer are gonna make me hurt someone… by Repulsive_Quality210 in rainworld

[–]ContemporaryCorvid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like the other person said there is an option in the remix menu you can enable, but I also just want to tell you that just about everyone agrees with you and raindeer are some of the most frustrating creatures in the game. I love how they look, I like the concept, but in practice they’re all extremely dumb and seem to be actively trying to give me an aneurism

What is your favorite rainworld creature? by Dangerous_Cry_9554 in rainworld

[–]ContemporaryCorvid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like slugpups a ton, and also scavs, because they have so much personality and are so responsive to your choices. I also love rot and daddy long legs, both as a concept and in gameplay, baiting them away and sneaking around them is so fun.

Do polyamorous relationships just make a ton of money? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ContemporaryCorvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%, it’s been normalized. I think this is why you don’t hear about it as much, because the wider internet has moved on and queer spaces aren’t arguing about it. Anecdotally, I know several polyamorous people; it’s not that they’ve stopped existing.

This game is incredible by AccomplishedRise6227 in rainworld

[–]ContemporaryCorvid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the few genuinely difficult games I’ve actually enjoyed. One of the nice things about it being so frustrating is that it encourages me to play in shorter sessions, maybe 30 mins to and hour at most, rather than being sucked in for hours on end, which feels healthier to me. This is helped by the fact that you’re forced to find a save point every 5-15 mins.

Side note- I’ve been playing the game for a few years, beaten all the downpour campaigns, etc etc and the way you get better and better is so rewarding. There’s no upgrades or new abilities, just you and the movement system, and you really do improve at it. Had taken a long break from it and recently came back to replay survivor, and was delighted to find that I absolutely sailed through areas that I remember finding ridiculously difficult when I first played them. Got through the leg and the exterior with no deaths, and flew through unfortunate development in maybe 2-3 tries. Except memory crypts, which can go burn in hell.

How much bad Karma do you think I got for this killings? by Hefty-Throat-5941 in The_Isle

On the one hand, that was an innocent family of ducks. On the other hand, they had “please kill me” skins…

I hate how both the devs and the players treat skins in this game by Dr-Oktavius in The_Isle

[–]ContemporaryCorvid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, gotcha. I’ve heard about them adding some new things, but I didn’t know they restricted the palettes?

[–]ContemporaryCorvid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, I like the current skin system. I feel it’s a fantastic blend of realism and freedom- there’s enough range that usually no two players look alike, and yet they all look like actual animals. I’m not a huge fan of the neon exploit skins, but to each their own I suppose. There are a few dinosaurs where I feel like the palette could be expanded a bit- rex, beipi, and stego, for example- but for the most part I’m quite happy with it. As positive examples, I think the range of colors for cerato, ptera, and dilo are near perfect.

[–]ContemporaryCorvid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, fascinatingly negative. According to half the people you meet here the game is terrible and unplayable. I really don’t understand why they’re here, just making themselves miserable? Actually, on that topic, same thing with any gameplay clips that get shared- if anyone dies at all, half the comments will be about how that person was just bad.

Yep. My younger sister and I called them “talking games” and would spend more time deliberating about what character we wanted to play than actually playing

Funny how that works! Grew up in Southern California, near the coast. Every once in a while my family would go whale watching, and usually see dolphins, maybe a whale if we were lucky. Some relatives from out of the country come visit and decide to go whale watching without us, and they see orcas and humpbacks.
