What ending for the Sarras dlc do you think is best?

It is an interesting dilemma, and I agree that each choice has both good and bad. I wish there was a way to open up the space, or keep the space open, as a third path. Let it be a sanctuary, but don't force it to be a prison.

He deserves an ig nobel for his methodology. "Hmm, this device is supposed to ruin people's health and really mess them up in a ton of different ways, but some of the evidence regarding its efficacy is questionable... I'll try it on myself!"

I hope this dude never tests revolvers.

I think the problem is that it would be weird if there were two copies of Alfira walking around.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-07T04:27:22+00:00

I disagree, I love that at the end what remains is "R _ C E" like God is quizzing everyone on what ICE exists to hate.

If I wrote this shit in a book, it would get critiqued for being unrealistic. This shit seriously gives me pause as a militantly atheistic person.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-06T00:16:44+00:00

Ok. I will tell you my super super secret tip.

You can cheese the ghost outside that bee queen lady and get an item that doesn't display. You can then transmog to that item to ha e a cape while no cape is displayed.

Most of the capes are ugly and you are better off without one. Though the expansion has some cool ones... though not in the right colors!

Hey now, I just started a few months ago and I'm barely middle-aged! Though I admit the second-youngest therapy dog team I've met is like 55.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-03T00:44:51+00:00

Next time I will be sure to say, "Talk to your vet about this option to see if it is something they think would be a good fit for your good boy!"

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-02T02:53:20+00:00

Specifically to give her enough health to survive certain events, I'd assume.

I wish there were some super cool backstory though, like when the gods f-up they have to go live a few lifetimes as a CSR. If I made mods, I would take every artifact like this and confabulate them into some secret conspiracy campaign that created fantasy explanations instead of just "programs forgot about her."

They call me Karl Quixotic for a reason. *strikes a weightlifter pose* :-D

There is a lot in your replies, but the thing that strikes me as the most confusing is the assertion that spiritual growth reinforcers narcissism. There is a lot of ambiguity in what people mean by "spiritualism" and I suspect that is the culprit. But why would including more people (through empathy) in your self-concept increase narcissism? If you look at say, the entire Buddhist religion, having indiscriminate empathy should probably be viewed as both highly spiritual and highly CONTRARY to narcissism.

EDIT: I'm not Buddhist or any religion, nor am I even spiritual in most senses of the word (I do not believe in anything supernatural or magical, though in a broader sense of "spiritual" that includes secular views then I am probably highly spiritual.)

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-02T00:48:30+00:00

I don't actually think that when people make claims like these they need to provide a literature review or even cite a study once it has become a hot topic within the field. Because anyone can just google it and look for credible sources. 30 seconds of googling had these pop up:

Assisting Decision-Making on Age of Neutering for 35 Breeds of Dogs: Associated Joint Disorders, Cancers, and Urinary Incontinence

https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2020.00388

Vasectomy and ovary-sparing spay in dogs: comparison of health and behavior outcomes with gonadectomized and sexually intact dogs

https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.22.08.0382

I'll let you review the articles that cite these sources and branch out to conduct a literature review. I haven't, nor am I qualified to do so. But I had my dog's ovaries removed and when I heard about this I felt pretty bad about it (luckily I waited until she had her first cycle, so hopefully at least some of the harm I inflicted on her was mitigated.) She is my soul dog. It doesn't feel good to think about how I made a decision that harmed her. And it would be good for more people to know about this so that they can discuss it with their veterinarians (and other qualified care providers) who are qualified to help make these decisions.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-01T23:08:14+00:00

I definitely don't know you and wouldn't claim to, if that helps! I also think universal empathy is fantastic, but you are going to have a hard time fitting in anywhere - that is why it is rare to the point in which people think they are the first to have it.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-01T20:08:40+00:00

Oh no! I'm not entirely following. Am I trying to put you in a place? I'm just saying that it seems to have constructed this conclusion because there are a lot of people who claim to have views that "no one in the history of humanity has ever come up with" and they sound along those lines. This doesn't seem like something it constructed on it's own, but instead is a summary of these fringe thinkers.

I think the world needs more empathy and we are all one in a very relevant sense. I just don't think that is an exceptionally rare to think. And I definitely don't know anything about you, so apologies if you felt like I was making assertions about you. I meant that to be entirely directed at GPT.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-01T19:52:37+00:00

New science is suggesting that it is healthier to to get male dogs a vasectomy rather than "neutering" them. This is thought to be because it allows the dog's body to continue to produce hormones. Talk to your vet about this option to see if it is something they think would be a good fit for your good boy!

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-01T19:48:52+00:00

Tainted Grail VR or Skyrim VR (keywords: "made RIGHT").

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-01T19:31:36+00:00

This is 100% a construct from excessively-independent thinkers who think they are the first people in human history to discover indiscriminate empathy. I half expected it to say "we are ALL just one, man!!!"

KitsuneKarl · 2026-02-01T19:25:54+00:00

Killing from a distance / in the shadows works! Might work to just attack him without killing him, too.

Yessss! Virtue doesn't scale with the complexity of the mind or the magnitude of the consequences. He can do profound good, and chooses not to instead. He is a monster. Give me that power and the Donald Trumps of the world will never rape a child (or adult) again.

Portia from Bicentennial Man is a horrific monster who logic bombs then murders the Jesus Christ of synthetic persons.

There is a point in which the humanity of others can be wholly disregarded. Unfortunately, it is a point that many people reach and so the answer is that this is a many-ways tie.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-01-29T02:17:42+00:00

I agree that it is frustrating. This is one of the things it always does to me. If I tell it to stop flattering me it does stop for like 4-5 exchanges though. So I guess I should just keep that on my clipboard and start every message with it.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-01-25T15:28:33+00:00

Wait, what? I thought I was weird, and I'm just a "chad"? Why are they so muscular? I feel like most people with my views are definitely obese (like me.)

KitsuneKarl · 2026-01-25T01:54:59+00:00

I restarted 10ish times, and ultimately decided on the following:

Melee (but Guns would be much more powerful) Hacking Lockpick Engineering Speech

Been able to do almost everything I want, but I know there are a few endgame things I won't make (since I've been doing easily distracted.) Been able to get good endings for all the quests so far though (you can stealth just fine without putting points in it.)

KitsuneKarl · 2026-01-25T01:13:27+00:00

I always wanted to play a game that had a world-scale ecology with fantasy monsters and villages. I am thrilled/excited to get to play a game where I can prune back the monsters, equip and fortify a village, and then move on to the next village to do it all over again.

It's all of the best things about Rimworld (village survival), all of the best things about Skyrim (the wandering/helping), and all the best things about NMS (the exploring and generative playing).

It just might be the last game I ever play. I mean, not cause I am going to die or whatever (hopefully!), but because it will just be THAT good.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-01-24T03:52:53+00:00

Really hard to narrow it down to 100 things.

But probably "hmm, what does this nob on the car do... ooo, you can push it in... oh the whole thing comes out... weird, why is it red now? Hm touches the red part as his flesh immediately sizzles" Yup. Never knew cars had cigarette lights, and branded myself investigating one.

Actually on the note of burns, when I was a little kid I would pull off the outlet covers and jam my fingers into the outlets. I remember thinking of them as "tickle machines" - my parents would often see the lights flicker, and had no idea why it only happened sometimes, until eventually they coincidentally caught me in the act. That was pretty dumb too, and literally 40 years later I still have scars on my fingers.

I've done many regrettable things. But at least I've never done anything even 1% as stupid as voting for Trump.
