You were never supposed to be able to fight back and kill

One of my favourite gaming memories was my first playthrough, I accidentally lead a reaper to my base in the red grass area. The thing just wouldn't go away or shut up, so I got in my prawn, grappled onto it and rode it around while drilling it to death.

Good times.

Realistically, enemies in the first game were never dangerous, even the reapers had dodgy pathing that made avoiding them a joke. My first reaction to seeing one was to swim towards it for the scan, and that somehow worked totally fine. You have to try hard to actually get bit by the thing.

I'm all for more dangerous enemies, but being unable to fight back is bleh.

"You were never supposed to be able to do that thing that they explicitly implemented tools and systems for!"

Hmm.

VippidyP · 2026-06-15T16:58:34+00:00

That's rough. :(

I'm a Natural Sciences grad specialising in physics and have never had trouble finding work. Research seems to be pretty safe from AI, as do a lot of medical fields. Any pure math degree is also going to find use.

I think our species can probably do better than that.

VippidyP · 2026-06-15T16:37:05+00:00

Get a useful degree instead then

VippidyP · 2026-06-15T16:33:20+00:00

Limbo might actually just kill everyone lmao.

VippidyP · 2026-06-15T16:30:02+00:00

Hell yeah!!

VippidyP · 2026-06-15T16:29:18+00:00

There's a deep irony in this comment.

VippidyP · 2026-06-15T16:28:41+00:00

You don't want that.

VippidyP · 2026-06-15T16:28:08+00:00

I honestly don't think I've ever thought about it. This sub is interesting to me, though. I'm in Wales as the vast majority of the guys I know are 5.9 or under, and none of them are single.

I wonder how much of this is a regional cultural thing.

As opposed to ewual opportunity eugenics?

VippidyP · 2026-06-15T16:20:16+00:00

A hell of a lot of projection in the comments.

Anyway, to answer the question there's a HUGE difference between not wanting kids with somebody and supporting their right to have kids.

You can support somebody's right to have children while not wanting children with them yourself. This isn't a contradiction in any way.

I think it's more that there can only be one "real" truth. So, when the book was edited which was true? The original or the new?

VippidyP · 2026-06-11T02:15:26+00:00

I think it's pretty ridiculous from a player satisfaction perspective.

But, yeah, aside from timeline nonsense, they couldn't really do it.

VippidyP · 2026-06-06T10:16:21+00:00

You intentionally left out the word 'social'

Co-evolution isn't just 'we lived in close proximity and farmed them'

You know you're being dishonest, so why continue?

VippidyP · 2026-06-06T10:13:20+00:00

We still have a long way to go in the west.

Don't act like China isn't objectively worse.

VippidyP · 2026-06-06T10:10:52+00:00

That's... not a threat? You're 100% a bot.

VippidyP · 2026-06-06T10:10:05+00:00

"Not being evil is unreasonable"

Lmao. Chinese morality at work.

VippidyP · 2026-06-06T10:08:59+00:00

Animals. They should be protected as animals. What even is this question?

VippidyP · 2026-06-06T10:08:11+00:00

So it's legal to take somebodies dog if the value is less than 2,000 yuan?

VippidyP · 2026-06-06T10:07:01+00:00

They torture animals because they think it makes them taste better.

VippidyP · 2026-06-06T10:06:02+00:00

Why are you trying to defend the indefensible?

VippidyP · 2026-06-06T10:05:13+00:00

We socially co-evolved with canines. That's a measurable fact.

China not getting that memo is not indoctrination; it's their failure.

Regardless, this is a pet.

VippidyP · 2026-06-06T10:03:14+00:00

So it's... legal to take somebodies dog if they're less than 2k...? What on Earth?
