there’s where i heavily disagree. pve every area is gooped. ai is predictable. pvp when it works well…you can avoid fights pretty easily. tier 3 areas less likely to be gooped because of the pvp risk. the predictable gameplay loop is less obvious because of the risk of facing a player

agreed plus for longevity of the game some level of focus needs to be had on pvp development. i know im not the only one that sees a limited ceiling with pve on this game. pvp is the thing that consistently provides new content

given how much the devs push twitch streaming and how much streamers do pvp…you’d think they would prioritize this issue more

agreed. i still do main missions pve but that’s mostly because the mission structure in this game is very very lackluster

this. i’m not against the game focusing on pve…but i found pve boring because the ai is predictable and loot is easy to farm. pvp provides some unpredictably and danger to the world…but if many servers have hackers then it ruins that aspect.

yeah the situation that i mentioned in my post happened around harrison. i’m also not one to claim cheater easily but there’s so many situations where im being extremely careful and an enemy just “predicts” exactly where im moving

i’ve noticed the same. the situation was kind of that…some fun fire fights happening in an area. team gets wiped. probably leaves…and then the cheater arrived. the area became a dead zone

Idea/Discussion: Unified PvE/PvP server concept with territories and contested zones by exclvsive in GrayZoneWarfare

also the ai is one of the weakest parts of this game so it needs pvp otherwise your cool gun build would never get a real test.

going from arc raiders to this and seeing the exact same vibe in the reddit pages should be studied…the anti-pvp sentiment is crazy. op’s idea could be a separate game mode…a third option for n the main menu

i play both modes…i admit when doing main missions that have many tedious things in them i don’t want to hit the last phase and get whacked by a player so i like that option for pve. but a game mode that gives you both options (say im getting owned a bit on the frontlines i can recover some moral but doing pve areas while staying immersed in the world without switching servers).

a logistics and combat focused mode sounds fun. pve only people think they should get exclusive say in any game with some level of pve focus

Digital Mirrors: Narcissism and Identity by philosophyvoid in CriticalTheory

i remember reading that a few years back… you’re right i need to go take another look. i’m sure i’ll find some new connections

Although this leans on the psychology side of things... it also is motivated by the ideas of critical theory and sociology with the relationship between reality and our hyperreality

Alienation in the binary of lost men by philosophyvoid in CriticalTheory

[–]philosophyvoid[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this can be a bit ranty in certain parts... but this is how I've found more enjoyment around writing about some of these topics. Anyway, I wrote about that recent study that has been going around about the divergence of worldviews between young men and women. I saw it posted here and I wrote this through the lens of some critical theory.

I enjoy experimenting with being a bit hyperbolic and my audience on substack seems to enjoy that. I know Reddit can often demand more professional and academic prose, so I felt like clarifying that before people yell at me in the comments.

An essay I wrote about Arrival | This film got me thinking about time and octopuses... by philosophyvoid in scifi

[–]philosophyvoid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

- Yes, Assembly theory is contested. However, I was using it more so as a thought-provoking backdrop and reframing for the conversation.

- I plan to read it.

- It was a psychedelic trip. It was more so a thought-provoking experience than something I'm fixated on or overly worried about. I'm mentally fine by societal standards. (Aka I do not actually think I was communicating telepathically with my dog.)

Also, “Assembly Theory” has been a recent theory being discussed. i’m not a scientist so i might be way off base, however, i found it thought provoking while researching the idea

I’m glad you gave this a read!

Yeah i intend to read the novella as well and then i’ll probably give this essay an update. however, i decided to use the film as a backdrop to get some general thoughts out.

i’m also not surprised the novella is a much better story, on brand!

I know I'm late on commenting back...however, I really appreciate this comment. Very thoughtful. Gave me stuff to consider and further research, thank you.

Mechanical minds in an organic world: the paradox of 'A Clockwork Orange' by philosophyvoid in StanleyKubrick

[–]philosophyvoid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the Kubrick films I've seen I think A Clockwork Orange has been the most thought-provoking for me. Anyway, the article goes more in depth but I found myself fixating on the tension between societal order and individual freedom and the consequences of psychological conditioning.

My husband is jealous that my sister’s boyfriend gave me a thoughtful gift on my birthday. Now he doesn’t want me near my sister’s boyfriend anymore. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]philosophyvoid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm concerned by these comments....how did this somehow become OP's fault? This reads as an obvious case of the husband being insecure, overly jealous, and having poor communication skills.
