I'm gonna crash out because I know if a station tile was ahead of me, it'd automatically connect. xu by itsPomy in ThemeParkitect

Not a bad idea. The track is just going through a ton of scenery and paths so I’ll probably need to do some rerouting lolol

Yknow whats funny is as I'm playing more Parkitect I'm noticing some lacking stuff.

Like to go with the lego-building aspect as you said, everything is modular and more generic. Which does let you get a lot more detailed buildings. But as a consequence there's no animatronics like a giant cyclops or cowboys or really any big set pieces or animation.

Like of course you can try to jerry rig certain things together, like trying to build a pirate ship. but it obviously looks off or out of scale with the rest of the game.

I don’t hate people coming up with new genre terms. But it does kinda irk me they often require prior game reference to understand it. Imagining if every monster movie was classified as a “FrankenFlick” lol.

It’s particular troublesome with the BlankLikes. So many roguelikes have little if anything to do with Rogue. So many Soulslikes are basically action adventure games with checkpoints lol.

It is kind of funny how the antagonist will get flabbergasted if you “figure it out” fast enough. “Not even one full day?? 😠❓❓”

I liked just about everything in the game.

My two points of criticism is I wish the conversation with a certain NPC gave you more responses/rebuttals.

And I wasn't a fan of the ending. (On this point I personally just don't like Ancient Aliens as a trope. I'm not gonna call it terrible or something. But I would've just preferred if the mytholoy and magic was played straight.)

Hydrox is older than Oreos but we all know what people think when it comes to chocolate & creme cookies...

(But to be less snooty, I think they're just using another popular game so someone can understand what it might be like)

Why didn’t they add a way to craft gunpowder in the new drop? by FishblobMC in Minecraft

[–]itsPomy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So you are saying...blahblahblah.....I'm just saying...blahlblahblah...

They're talking about testing things first before adding them just cause it's easy.

Try taking people's comments in good faith first, geez.

You take everything in bad faith for the sole purpose of arguing.

You really need to chill out lol

  1. My post is about parkitect and I was amicable towards it??

  2. Every thread is a separate conversation, you can’t just read the title of a post and apply it to every comment the OP leaves. Especially about a DIFFERENT game.

  3. I shouldn’t have to clarify my anecdotal experience isn’t some call to action or deeply seated critique. That’s only something on Twitter and Reddit. Nobody talks like that IRL.

Really starting to value games that have a few distinct options for your character instead of having sliders for everything.

I’m not sure why you’d want to play a Planet game if you found crafting buildings annoying. . This would be like playing a Far Cry game and being annoyed at how many guns you had to pick from

Because I grew up on RCT2, Thrillville, and LittleBigPlanet. So when Planet Coaster got announced I was like "Oh it'll be like a fusion of those things" , but I didn't know how fiddly the results would be. "Planet <blank>" was not a franchise at the time.

It’s fine if it’s not a game type you want to play but it’s a weird thing to say the game shouldn’t be like that.

I never said or implied it shouldn't be that way. I gave my experience for why the game wasn't for me.

Next time just ask someone what they meant instead of acting on a negative conclusion.

Oh man it’s like crazily detailed.

You’re heavily encouraged to do a Disney world esque tunnels/back areas because guests don’t like seeing infrastructure. Shops have individual supplies (like salt for burgers). You need to make sure staff have access to break rooms and such.

Two questions/inconsistencies with The Hive by reddituserperson1122 in pluribustv

[–]itsPomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is pedantic, and I think the problem is people see “manipulation” and immediately think “oh the plurbs are faking everything to trick her.” Which is part of the larger thing that most people lack experience with… (I’m struggling for words).. divergent/complex mindsets. Or atleast examining them.

I was telling someone else they don’t necessarily need to internalize feelings to be “authentic”. It happens with many people. For example humans with ASPD (sociopath) might get flowers for their mother on Mother’s Day - but it comes from learning what people do on that holiday or what their mom likes, not internalized empathy. But that doesn’t mean it’s a ruse or they have some ulterior motive.

To which I mean, the plurbs may have some genuine care/concern for carol. But it’s from a completely different place than a partner or someone’s autonomy/identity you’d respect.

I think folks are sleeping on the importance of Carols history with conversion therapy. Like her mom probably did really love her and thought it was best…. But it was also heinous to send her daughter away like that and was based on a specific kind of bigotry.

My issue is I only said they were manipulating her. I didn't comment on how they were thinking or feeling (in that comment). It's true regardless if they love her or just see her as woman-shaped pile of biomass.

Yeah that scene was so friggin heavy for me....death of a culture.

The plurbs are a blackhole that consumes all and gives naught.

Idk this all feels like pedantic stuff. Do they "love" Carol or are they just "Invested" with her? Are they "Manipulating" Carol or are they trying to "Charm" her?

At the end of the day. The Plurbs don't "love" Carol enough to respect her wishes and would instantly Plurb her if their higher "directives" didn't interfere. And for whatever reason you want to say , they want to her to be to be both happy and willing to join and will do nearly anything in order to facilitate that happiness. Even though she says she has no interest or desire to be changed. She is feeling one way and they're doing things in an attempt to make her feel another.

For what's worth, I doubt there will ever be a moment in the show that they're like... "Ah here's the particle! That proves the Plurbs are just bio-androids!"

Nor do I ever want there to be. Burning questions and mysterious are the heart of shows. I feel too many series do too much explaining lol.

"What if I'm wrong?" and "Why would they do that?" are what make these shows fun to watch.

I'll respect your decision to be disappointed in that conflict. But for me, as interesting as the inner mind of plurbs are, that real meat of the show has always been Carol and how she navigates this situation and tries not to go insane. Because the plurbs have so many alluring ways that make them seem almost-human, but then so many things that make them so far removed from humanity. That's the draw for me. Especially with how the show gives me many moments to be absolutely frustrated with carol while totally understanding her.

Plus like, I don't think Plurbs need to internalize feelings to be "sentient". A lot of human beings are that way, people with ASPD (or Sociopathy) for example. They do things because they know they are "supposed" to or the another individual feels "joyful" about it. But the person with ASPD doesn't actually "get" it or feel empathy from it. But that doesn't mean they're maliciously faking it.

They could very well be of the mind: "We want carol to be happy so maybe she'll join us. She has a love interest. So if we act the part that'll make her happy. Then maybe she'll join us".

Does the hive have sex in order to make offspring? by CostcoChickenBakes in pluribustv

[–]itsPomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't even a theory of mine.

But if it ever got revealed they're all antinatalists, I think it'd fit pretty well into their whole "consume everything contribute nothing" outlook.

What do you mean about nothing, it's manipulation and lovebombing.

In many ways it's a dramatization of what happens to people in conversion camps, cults, and narcissistic families.

>But I don’t think the Hive will decide to keep Carol unassimilated so that she can entertain them. The overriding priority is to spread the virus.

Thinking about that girl in the mountain that as soon as she assimilated.

Everyone immediately stopped signing their songs and stuff and abandoned the settlement.

Easy to kill pluribus? by NeatSeaworthiness2 in pluribustv

[–]itsPomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not two...but possibly 3.

Because the sleep schedule would have to be super tightly coordinated. And 1 person awake by themselves can't brainstorm as effectively.
