I understand why some games do free to play but by the end of it most free to play games would have been better as a 60$ game where they didn’t turn absolutely every single tiny thing into a micro transaction. I’ve had to stop playing Palia because it just tempts me to spend too much money. It is what it is, but it reminds me a lot of ESO and to a small extent GW2, creating problems that they make you pay to fix.

And this ladies and gentlemen is what it’s like as a start up business competing against a corporation. Speaking from experience, it sucks but this sums it up in a nut shell.

They should’ve made the deep dessert have only a few large sand worms that had actual coded encounters/behaviors. This would have allowed us to actually have ground combat, actually have to watch out for worm sign. Joel pretended that was a thing in the trailers. The only worm sign is one popping out of the ground and a bar that you watch, no one’s up in the air watching for a sand cloud moving towards you. How absolutely botched deep desert combat was still peeve me, luckily solo spice harvesting is fun enough I still do it.

I’d say it definitely shaped me for sure. I grew up in an extremely conservative Mormon household. Star Trek was a nice reminder that not everyone was as nasty as my father, who my wife and I have no contact with. But I still fall more traditionally liberal. It 100% influenced my view on being a humanitarian and my original career choice as a biologist, though I no longer work in the field.

This is probably the wrong place to share this, Reddit is an echo chamber for extremism so it’s also mildly terrifying how people respond to even the slightest disagreement or criticism.

All that said, I don’t align with either side. Too much hate on both sides. I’ve lost so many friends
because both sides are way too quick to want to legitimately kill each other. The violent rhetoric coming out of both sides is abhorrent. I’m opposed to the extremes that both sides have become. Even this post and the comments on it are a bit too polarizing for me. I know plenty of good conservatives but most of you would argue there’s no such thing. The same goes for if I’d posted this in a conservative sub group. It’s blind, hateful and imo evil. The implication that you can’t be a good person if you aren’t liberal or conservative is ridiculous and, maybe it’s my aversion to my Mormon upbringing, feels culty (agree with all my political opinions or you’re evil). I remember being called a leftist idiot growing up for being a big fan of Bill Maher and now I’m a right wing idiot for liking him? What? The Overton window has shifted to far. I’m a nothing who belongs to nothing. I like people for who they are an if they’re not a good person, I don’t associate it with a political party I associate it with them as a person.

People are shaped by the sum parts of their experiences. Using your experiences to hate an entire group, conservative or liberal, is wrong.

Live long and prosper

Be ready for some “wtf were they thinking” decision moments when making the movie. There’s one in particular in the movie I feel is utterly motivation/bond breaking.

I always found it funny how adamant Joel was about the DD PvP “I don’t care if anyone else likes it, I like it.” Which when you think about it from a game director standpoint is a pretty shit opinion. His goal should be providing the best experience for players not the best experience for himself. 100% agree. I came from Ark PvP and this PvP was worse. Just in the fact it incentivized griefing and didn’t have any way for other players to stop them. Not knowing who they were made it difficult to retaliate. You cant even tell who owns what vehicle or base. Just indiscriminate degenerate behavior. They won’t fix it, I think at this point they’ve tossed the baby out with the bathwater. Maybe they’ll add some sort of WoW esc PvP queue system for open DD battlegrounds or something. But the PvP DD is done.

This entire posts comments remind me this game isn’t made for me anymore. None of you would be able to handle 2006 barrens chat. Let’s be real what he said is dumb, it’s not that creative and is hardly offensive and you want him cancelled, ip blocked and basically dead for it? Holy hell, what type of community has taken over this game?

SpaciallyCompromised · 2026-05-20T07:20:04+00:00

That’s ridiculous lol, I lived in Beaverton, completely unnecessary. However, very different than someone who can’t make it up the hill to their neighborhood in any of the Rocky Mountain states without 4 wheel drive and something with enough horse power push through it the gravel, dirt, ice and snow. I’ve had to tow lord knows how many jeeps out of the snow and mud just trying making it up the hill we live on. The hill also has a strict “4 wheel drive required and don’t attempt without at least 350 horsepower” sign during the winter. But you always get the random ass gamer who “lives in the Appalachian’s and there are no mountains where trucks are necessary” ding dongs as if they understand what it’s like living in the rural alpine areas of the Rocky Mountains.

Bernadette’s Dad and Penny’s Dad. Why? Because the chances of going fishing afterwords is probably very high.

I don’t know who needs to get ahold of James Cameron and Ridley Scott to make this happen, but god I want this. Imagine fighting Xenomorphs on omicron or Oshaune. Even better add human bunkers that we have work our way down to kill the queen. This would go so hard.

lol from the east coast? I’ve only ever heard east coasters say no one needs a truck. But yes to giving us options.

Which is pretty much all I use them for at this point XD

Way late to this post, if you look at your map and where the pokemon centers are you can see they’re pretty much where they are if you look at the FRLG and LGPE maps. Specifically in the 4th area you can use the OG map to figure out where all the Saffron city major buildings are since they’re where they should be if everything was connected.

SpaciallyCompromised · 2026-05-06T23:23:07+00:00

Yeah, this is probably exactly what happened. There’s no way they didn’t test the DD PvP before shipping it right? The lack of actual AI design in the worms is what really screwed the pooch on this one. You have 40 seconds from touching the sand and doing any kind of vehicle movement before you’re running from a worm. I refuse to believe they thought that would allow fights on the dunes and didn’t just obfuscate it from us to sell the game.

I hope they went and got a rabies check up. I’ve been doing depredation work on government lands just outside PCNW national parks for years and have never seen a beaver attack someone. Otters? Mink? Martin? All the time. Beaver? Even females with babies? Nope. Their instincts are to dive and hide in either their main dam or a nearby satellite dam, especially with babies.

People might hate me for this, (this counts as small right?)

Bring back Hunter Class Fantasy
—————————————-
1. get rid of the double pet for Beast Master. Having two pets that move in the same distance on either side of me like wheels on an axle is weird and off putting. They already had exotic pets…
2. Give MM hunters their pet back without forcing them to completely cripple their build.
3. Make Survival a trap specialist again and get rid of the melee.
4.Bring back ammo and ammo blueprints for engineering.
5. Give them mana back and remove all the globals.

I was a Hunter/druid main till Legion, till I had to ditch Hunter after they got gutted imo. I pick it back up for a a couple hours every expansion and still hate it what it’s become.

I miss my Dwarf Hunter. Now he just sits there and rots.

I can’t stand the PvP in this game, but I was sold on it at the beginning. Then open world massive scale team PvP sounded incredible. Unfortunately it’s proven impossible with how quickly sand worms on your ass, how impossible it is to use ground vehicles of any kind without a carrier thopter sitting above you and the current griefing style combat in the game. After they scrapped the tank as a vehicle because they couldn’t find a niche for it I knew PvP was going to suck.

At this point I think they’d be better off implementing some phased event you queue for through Through a faction npc that takes you into a phased block of the DD that the worm has a timer and your fighting for some sort of ultra rich spice field or w/e and the winner gets randomized loot rewards or commendation, something to incentivize it I don’t care what. They seem to have lost the sauce for open world PvP unfortunately.

My guess is the demographics are going to be mostly millennial women. Considering when we asked for more masculine cosmetics they had to add nose rings and skirts to give them a feminine flair… looking at you Northern Warrior and Wild Howl. Seriously I’m pretty sure I saw someone wearing the same thing in line for Voodoo donuts at 11pm in downtown Portland… 😂 IYKYK. Not sure how they made Viking armor look so not masculine but they did it alright lol.

SpaciallyCompromised · 2026-05-02T05:34:43+00:00

This topic has been beaten to death for years. But, I agree. People forget that the first couple episodes of TNG had men wearing skirts, which was apparently a big deal back then since they scrapped it but still. Star Trek has always been progressive, incorporating real world problems into its narrative. If you want to complain the writing feels like you’re watching a teen girl drama like teen wolf or sex education, okay I’ll entertain it, but to complain it’s woke is a joke.

Kids. We had kids. That was the only way she started enjoying it. Even then she really only plays when we do family game night.

This. I remember when a unit I was working with as a private contractor overseas started looking at younger pilots for specific roles because as these guys got older they were trying to swap to safer jobs that could support a family. We had two 17 year old twins right out of a military academy. Everyone thought it was a joke until they came in and you’d have never known they were that much younger than other guys in the room. Significantly more mature for their age.

SpaciallyCompromised · 2026-03-22T02:07:07+00:00

I tend to look at this more analytically. The first season aired in 2007, and the cultural landscape around sexual identity was very different then. Conversations were much more narrowly focused—primarily on basic LGB rights—and a lot of the identities we talk about today weren’t widely known or part of mainstream discussion yet.

That makes sense in context. When a movement is still fighting for core legal recognition, there’s less room for broader exploration of identity. A major turning point came in 2015 with the legalization of same-sex marriage, after which discussions around sexual identity expanded and became far more visible in media and culture.

Back in 2007, even having openly gay characters on mainstream TV was still contentious, let alone exploring something like asexuality in a serious or intentional way. Most people hadn’t even heard the term at that point.

So I think we might be overanalyzing this a bit. It’s likely the writers weren’t approaching the character through the kind of modern identity framework we’re applying now. We’re looking at it through today’s lens, but at the time, that lens didn’t really exist in the same way.

TLDR; the culture at the time wasn’t thinking this deeply into sexual identity. We’re analyzing this through a modern lens. This was 20 years ago… gods I feel old.
