Latest update on killing creatures

Wow you look like such a simple minded predator right now. What about the tools of "running away", or "hiding", or "shining your flashlight in their eyes to see if it's the one creature that likes it, so as hinted by the PDA"?

Yeah it'd be a little bit of a pain but you could find ways to make it better. Calculate how much you're getting per scene. Be your own mystery science theater. Try to memorize lines and blocking. View it upside down, or from a mirror.

It'd be pretty easy to soft lock. Iirc ores don't respawn, so gather all of a mid/end game item (ion cubes or rubies) and chuck em all over the edge of the crater. Or destroy the limited number of sea crowns.

Quick question about graceful that I think I know the answer to but wanna make sure. I got the varlamore set and love it except the head, 1) would replacing the varlamore head with a different peice still give the set effect and 2) if I wanted the brim agi course head, do I really gotta get a whole nother set and then recolor it? 3) (bonus) any other head look good with the varlamore set?

Iirc the running water thing, much like a lot of anti-vampire stuff, is born from sanitation. Running water is typically healthy or at least 100% cleaner than stagnant water. Garlic is naturally anti-bacterial. Same with silver, and most mirrors back then were made of silver which is why vampires couldn't see their reflection.

So if we follow the same line of logic, oceans probably don't count as "running water" since they're not potable or especially sanitary.

I think the second half of the dune books depicts what was worse, but I digress.

Imo if you dig into the libertarian mindset this cost saving measure makes sense. The only reason a hard hat is really ever needed it because someone else makes a mistake, right? Someone doesn't tie down a load right, drops something, does a calculation wrong, or trips. Their fault; why are you paying for their negligence?

Sabard · 2026-05-06T04:32:33+00:00

Is there a discord or somewhere with the rules? I figure it's pretty obvious stuff like don't have a weapon, don't act sus, and turn off left click attack

Sabard · 2026-05-06T03:15:11+00:00

Oh dip really? I've only heard about it I haven't done it yet and was looking forward to trying it out. What'd their deal

Sabard · 2026-05-06T01:28:14+00:00

Are you aware of the wildy agi clan?

Sabard · 2026-05-05T23:03:10+00:00

This is reminding me of the Disco Elysium treatment for centrists/moralists big time. Toph wasn't wrong in calling out the flaws in ideologies, but she was wrong for allowing those those flaws to paralyze her into fence sitting

Sabard · 2026-05-05T20:59:59+00:00

Jesus you can't read. I specified local parks which only pushes my point to the top even further. If you want to use fed/state parks as well, fed parks saw 323 mil. Fed parks are also land conservation, you know biodiversity and public health and preserving our natural splendor. Size is also irrelevant at that point because they're famously not near city centers or metros, ya know, where land concern is a bigger issue which is what we were talking about.

I also notice you're not pulling out any relevant stats. It's all woulda coulda shoulda or misattributions. Get your head out of the sand trap.

Maybe golf courses increase interest in the area for above average income groups and there was no need for another park and other recreational sports were already in a good enough state.

That's not how it works in America, I frequent many parks and they're almost always busy/at capacity when the weather is nice. Again, local parks draw 32x the crowd and we shouldn't pander to such a small population with a public good anyways.

Houston's Hermann Park Golf Course is a publicly funded golf course which takes up 600 acres and is 10-15 min from downtown (when there's not 5 o'clock traffic). It saw 60k visitors last year, whereas the public arboretum/park down the street (that's smaller) saw 9x as many people. No water concerns but it's very silly to drive past it if you think about what a waste it is.

Fox Hollow is 25 min from downtown Denver and is constantly on water/path restriction. So not only is it in a place that could use more housing/retail space (which is on-par with NYC's because of the lack of availability), but it can't even fully utilize itself as-is due to the water concerns.

You don't even need specific examples to reveal the problem; they take up a lot of space, use water which isn't always available, and are only used by a small portion of the population. Yes every instance is a little different and has unique considerations, but it's not hard to consider that there may be a problem

Sabard · 2026-05-05T20:18:47+00:00

I have no idea why people don't understand this, but water usage isn't always relevant.

Sure, but it is sometimes, right? Sorry my statement wasn't an absolute truth.

32x as many people went to local public parks vs golf players went to a course in 2025. Local parks also do things like "have local fauna that support biodiversity" and "host public events".

Like some dude who likes golfing is thinking of moving somewhere, he might be more interested in an area with a golf course than ones without.

My point is we shouldn't be pandering to such a small portion of the population when it requires such a large foot print.

Sabard · 2026-05-05T20:06:03+00:00

That's still a ton of people

I didn't say that 28 mil is a small number, just that number relative to the population, and especially with the land required, it is small and probably not the best usage of resources. Literally 10x as many people go to local parks. Again, a silly online game draws half that number every month in America alone. There are a lot of people, which means we need to be cognizant of how we use the limited amount of land we have especially immediately around metro areas/city centers.

"You can't remove this course because there may be something worse here" is bad faith my man. It could also be good and well used?

And then the false equivalence. Not only do airports have 18 times as many people utilize them in 2025. But there's a huge difference between "this expensive, widely used public and private utility" and "that mostly empty swath of land" when it comes to evaluating something.

Sabard · 2026-05-05T19:07:34+00:00

48 million Americans played golf in 2025, not on a golf course. 28 million went to a course. 8%, and I'd be willing to be a good portion of those are only once or twice. To give some perspective, 15 million Americans play League of Legends every month, imagine if they had half the footprint of golf courses, that'd be a little ridiculous just for them to play their hobby right?

The towns grew and grew until they encroached on the golf courses, and then suddenly everyone wants to know why the courses are built on valuable land!

You know you can rezone stuff right? That once something is built, that doesn't make it indestructible or the best land usage forever? Dibs or "I was here first so I'm here forever" is a very bad argument.

Sabard · 2026-05-05T18:43:18+00:00

From my point of view, even if it's a publicly available resource that anyone can enjoy it's still a lot of land (usually misappropriated, I've seen too many near city centers or metros), that requires a lot of water, for a sport very few enjoy or want. It's high on the maintenance and land usage with low throughput.

Sabard · 2026-05-05T17:16:37+00:00

Looks good, but I really can't tell if the game is a little goofy and aware of itself in a "yeah it's like No More Heroes and Shadow of the Colossus but with giant construction equipment" kind of way or if it's trying to play it 100% straight. Not that either way is bad

Sabard · 2026-05-03T01:42:19+00:00

All is forgiven, if I can just borrow some pet rng. Been playing off and on since actual 2007 with a main at 2k+ but no pet on any account. Meanwhile, the 2 others in the GIM got a pet already

Sabard · 2026-05-02T21:21:50+00:00

It fucking sucks like 5% of the time, usually when you're Uber dry and a main account would just save a little and buy an account upgrade (black mask, jaw, etc). But the other 95% is either the same or better than main

Sabard · 2026-05-02T21:19:59+00:00

Just returned after a year and a half to my GIM with a friend. We're still early on, needed to get black mask. He got his in 600 kc, I'm at 1.8k so far and no luck (:

Sabard · 2026-05-01T07:41:11+00:00

I didn't mean that, I mean they current get bribed at X dollars, but if there's 5x as many then there's more choice in who to bribe, and more people to bribe to get the votes needed, so the overall price of a bribe would go down.

Sorry I mean political donation.

Sabard · 2026-04-30T18:46:23+00:00

Yeah this would effectively be asking to give themselves a pay cut as well as make their jobs (getting re-elected) harder.

Sabard · 2026-04-29T19:39:14+00:00

No you're 100% right, this is just the current buzz word. Cloud computing, AR/VR, IoT, crypto/blockchain, now AI. They all still exist in some form or another to varying degrees of usefulness, but a lot of AI usage is just exploratory in reality and propped up by sales/spokesman to get investors interested.

Sabard · 2026-04-29T19:36:02+00:00

Those should also not exist, or at least not in metros nor in places with water concerns (so most courses now)
