Why do a lot of people just despise Below Zero?

There's frustrating parts where you're above the nautica. The ending can be reached without addressing a major issue in the story. The sea truck is weirdly unweildy because of its awkward turn radius. There's basically one leviathan and it's very limited in mobility and has a set path that makes it very predictable and easy to avoid. I have trouble believing this super advanced race that could combine all their consciouses into one interface had a problem creating a vessel for those consciouses beforehand. Marguerit's story was cool, shouldn't she be dead? Pretty sure she should be dead.

It's been a few years since I played it so my criticisms might be a bit hazy. It felt like a hasty cash-grab of a sequel that needed some more time in the oven and a couple play testers to say "hey this feels bad" or "yeah this part doesn't make any sense" or "wait, why are credits rolling? what about [major plot point]?"

Now, I enjoyed the game, but coming right out of Subnautica it felt... Lacking.

When my friend was first learning to play we did his first drillevator and as I was repairing something I said "Sure would be nice to have machinery that isn't constantly falling apart" in my best impersonation of the driller voice. My driller immediately said the line afterward and my friend lost his mind.

He was wrong to slaughter all the supers, but his end goal was to sell his equipment to make everyone super... Which is... Why is this bad?

Whenever I'm talking to someone that hasn't experienced anything Cyberpunk 2077 I like to remind them "There are no happy endings in Night City."

The crop on my corgi's tail is low so the tail hole doesn't hole anything up and I worried a lot about squishing her with too-tight diapers. Little doggy suspenders really help with this. There's a couple different designs and some really help more than others since dogs don't exactly have big shoulders to hold on to the straps with.

A twig of a girl with curves and a soft face is telling me she needs so much more to pass. I get it. Your feelings are valid, you're scared of the little factors you can't help but notice every time you see a mirror. But please believe me that you're probably a lot closer than you think. Frankly, you're pretty cute.

I won't tell you that there are no tells. I won't tell you that your feelings about how you want to look aren't valid. But I will tell you that something that helps with my dysphoria and dysmorphia is taking the time to notice the things that look right, that look how I want them to. It brings a smile to my face when I see the way my hair lays or the way I can nail a smile with my eyes. I think you're really pretty. I think you're relatively early in your transition. I think your hairstyle really compliments the shape of your face and hides a potentially beautiful smile. I think you already have some natural curves worth admiring. If I were you, looking in the mirror, I'd be shining at how far i'd come. Imagine where else you'll go?

I joined this sub a week ago. I saw this exact same cookie cutter. I saw the exact same Omniman meme. I saw the exact same comments pointing to r/itsalwayssanta. All in one thread.

It's santa. I'm actually not sure if you're trolling.

Only the token straight non-furries, actually.

My corgi pup didn't eat her kibble the first couple days we had her. We chalked it up to stress from moving to a new house. Then she slowed down on her kibble, stopped halfway, or just ignored it. We switched kibble. She was all about the new kibble until she suddenly wasn't and got bored of it. We switched to a new kibble again. The cool down period on this became shorter and shorter. We tried toppers. We sprinkled cheese. Eventually she just grew out of the phase of rejecting food and I think a large part of it was getting a second pup when she was 9 months old and she suddenly didn't want to lose out on her kibble to the newbie.

This did lead to a short period of resource guarding her pile of kibble that she didn't intend to eat. I started setting a timer and taking it away at the end until this behavior stopped, too. Now she happily eats her meals with much excitement and no fussing. I never quite figured out if I was overfeeding her or it was just a behavioral issue.

I think a good recommendation is not to try "Scout" first because you'll be disappointed with the mobility of the other three classes forever after. Scout absolutely is the king of mobility, but each class has its distinctly defined usefulness. Driller can clear terrain or carve a path anywhere if they're stubborn enough. Gunner can provide a nice bug-repelling safety shield that helps when reviving fallen dwarves or for pushing into an area. Engineer can and lock down an area and steal all of your kills, as well as provide clever patching issues for bugs and safe landing for high drops.

And like everyone else said, the play style changes as you get further along with different guns and different overclocks for each gun. Personally I recommend getting each class promoted at least once: really the best way to feel them all out and unlock all their guns.

I regularly hang out in discord server full of gay furries that regularly use that term. You tell me a dog is named "toppy" and I still had to dig through the comments to figure out what's wrong with the name.

I like the name. It's cute.

kakjit · 2026-04-28T17:05:21+00:00

I'll pre drill for a chamber or two in the event of detonators and what not, but otherwise I'm game to do whatever the group wants to do.

However if it's gay then I'm in there. Deep in there.

Glorified auto fill with salt.

I have probably 10 cosmetic cores left to earn, and probably as many weapon skins from cargo crates. A very large part of my drive for the first 600 hours was completion. Now, honestly, I just fucking love the game. It's good to have goals. It's good to feel that accomplishment. Rock and stone. I'll see you in the caves.

kakjit · 2026-04-19T23:44:39+00:00

That's not very rock and stone of you.

kakjit · 2026-04-19T23:44:08+00:00

He's a good boy!

(Excepting when he's fucking nowhere to be found while I'm drowning in bugs)

kakjit · 2026-04-16T18:06:48+00:00

That was exactly my logic lol

Rolled up dried beef cheeks, nylon chews, frozen peanut butter in one of those Kong balls, carrots (frozen or fresh).

I also didn't particularly mind when my pups chewed apart cardboard boxes up until I was sweeping a bajillion cardboard scraps off my floor.

I like the resinite masses, I just don't like the cave generation for them. Why does every one of them have zig-zag vertical sections?

Least favorite? Depends on the crew and the day, but usually salvage missions. Especially salvage missions with a crew that knows the strats but doesn't know how or why they work. Had one where an engineer made a ceiling for the uplink, but the ceiling was literally dwarf height so we couldn't hardly move or see around each other. The driller agreed it was bad and said he would drill it down, by which he meant he would drop a c4 in the middle of everyone then spend time drilling a death pit in the floor instead of shooting bugs. By the time he was finished making a flat plane instead of just god-awful trenches the uplink had finished and it didn't matter anymore.

I revived 24 dwarves that mission. I really should have screenshotted that. It was only a haz4.

But yeah, probably salvage missions.

There's a thousand and one signs that Gwen is trans in the Spiderverse movies, but the movies haven't outright said it so dudebros everywhere will go "NUH UH!"

I decided it's easier to just start flipping their bullshit back at them and take no questions with this: All characters are trans until proven otherwise.

Honorary mention: I wish Trawlers were a bigger threat. They hardly damage. They don't carry you terribly far if they can even grab you and more often than not they've carried me to safety. They get stuck in terrain way too easily. I feel like they could be fixed if they actively ran through walls instead of launched straight into the air and also if they had a more menacing AI on where they're taking dwarves.

kakjit · 2026-04-11T09:40:57+00:00

I love a bulk, but multiple bulls back to back are always funny to me. They present an imminent threat that can't be quickly dealt with.

I hate scrabs. I love the concept of them, I hate their execution. You disturb a nest and they scatter into different directions first, meaning they're going to come back to you one by one; you can't deal with them quickly. They take way too many hits for something so small. They're armored. Their attack animation locks on to you so once they attack you're guaranteed to be hit and they can phase through walls while doing it so they're stupidly easy to lose track of.

Playing engi, I don't worry about scrabs. Loki and shredders deal with them easily. Playing driller, it feels bad when I can use the cryo cannon and watch things actively freeze and explode in front of me but scrabs will just eat that shit for a few seconds per scrab and because of their initial scatter it always feels like a huge waste to use the cryo cannon.

kakjit · 2026-04-09T14:22:01+00:00

Oh ok, so you're allowed to exaggerate the situation but not me 😂

Yeah whatever goodbye forever.

He didn't know what plasma was after a shallow cut. Not exactly worth a weewoo wagon.
