plus the lead dev is no prizewinner either, so personally i'd rather not talk up the game since it might influence others to purchase it, but hey i'm weird that way

the company is still profiting off of the dev's work, which sends a pretty strong message

personally, i'd hope that they'd at least donate the dev's previous salary to the splc or a transgender equality charity or the like, but that's just me

it’s almost as if there is no ethical consumption under capitalism 🤔🤭

I bought subnautica a long time ago when humble bundle did the big aclu bundle with it in it among like 40 games. I had all my purchase go to the aclu nothing to the devs. am I good?

also when I bought it I couldn't get it to run on my scrub tier rig. maybe it would work now

yeah this aclu bundle thing came out during a pretty high point for them (initial travel ban?) but then a few weeks later they defended Nazis and it was, ugh

also another odd thing about me is that i don't interpret this quote to mean "it's impossible to consume ethically so why bother trying to?" as opposed to "curbing consumption is extremely important but it shouldn't be the sum total of your praxis"

its good. zion was always my favorite park and used to go all the time. you should do the subway and narrows (might be inaccessible this time of year iirc). my gf hates camping though so i haven't been in a long time.

also do a day-drive out to bryce canyon. imo its not worth more than half-day dicking around but still cool to see once

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
you mean Angkakuwassawits?

the narrows are open right now but the temp is dropping to a high of 40 tomorrow with snow and i am not sure we are equipped to wade up a river of snowmelt while it actually snows on us. depends on what gear we can rent. we were planning to head out tomorrow but we may stick around and do the narrows if we can stand the cold.

either way, yeah it is an amazing national park and we will definitely be back again sometime and anything we dont get in this time then we’ll do it next time.

again, the company is still benefiting from that dev's efforts and i'm strange in that i don't want to promote a company that profits from an alt-righter's efforts

just firing the dev is a minimum expected behavior, it doesn't actually put things right, at least as far as i think, weird though i am
