mags posted:this game should have been so much better. sierra really hosed up. 2 came with a loving book Also try playing rimworld with mechs off, bugs on, temp max, population min. I usually boost rainfall but whatever. Books are now maybe the second most valuable resource, after food and shelter which are three way tied with things like "literally any kind of cloth." Maybe turn bugs or ancients or whatever off. Random crash site if you're not a coward.

In my current run there's no food, we stripped the subarctic rainforest for lumber to burn to power the air conditioners, and the only animals outside are wild cobras and the very occasional guinea pig It's too hot to grow crops I need to try to throw some sort of... dome... up and hope

Rimworld is post collapse & if you do the insane settings. Usually I play slow at normal speed while doing other stuff at the same time because you can accidentally kill people if you're not periodically checking in on them

You could manipulate the terrain and sea level in that, right? & there was some weird native forest type that had a chance to form like the possibility of a ring of 8 monoliths

You could plant earth trees and kelp for sure, and there was the fungus ofc, but there was also the centauri jungle and I have no fuckin idea how these wild rear end things were really supposed to interact. I should go back and try to get that thing running again. I remember finding a ring of monoliths and slamming a city into it asap, and how boreholes could cause the planet to flip out. Also crawlers and stuff. Hmm. Moldy rear end game. If I can save these rimworlders I'll look back into it.

The fungus is the primary native life on Alpha Centuari and all the other species exist to tend to it until it can reach critical mass and achieve planet wide sapience, and then dies off back into somnolescence because the critical mass event kills most other life on the planet destroying the ecology the fungus needs to thrive. Basically the planet wide fungus network becomes intelligent just in time to realize its killed itself and it can't do anything about it, and then everything resets

idk if this is just me but as things have gotten very obviously bad, people are switching their take from "climate change isn't real and/or a big deal" to "why are you saying mean things so much, it's a bummer" not sure where I'm going with this, just something that I notice a lot  you really can't win with people. The last humans on the last life raft in the last acidified ocean will die arguing about if climate change is real lol

Word. Something that I specifically think about a lot is Hurricane Otis going from a tropical storm to Cat 5 in in roughly 24 hours before directly plowing into Mexico last October. That is absolutely hosed. You cannot effectively guard against something like that. How do you even conduct hurricane preparedness if this is what the future holds?

RIP Syndrome posted:Yeah, nothing to add really. I've lived this a couple of times now in different spaces, but the last time is getting to be a while ago. As a young capitalist i really didn't get punk music. I dated this girl in my early 20's who had spent her teens going to dropkick and rancid shows and couldn't parse it yet when she brought me to a few. I thought it was pretentious rambling, disconnected from my material reality where choices dictate our fates. Definitely missed the boat on Mai, but punk is the haven of anti capitalist history in the end of history. Having now lived through many of my most beloved spaces get cored out gutted ruined and turned into things i despise, It speaks to me in a prophetic sage way. It's unrestrained noise and grating crescendo's fit the mood. Don't sell out! Sanlav has issued a correction as of 16:26 on Mar 29, 2024 |

Taima posted:idk if this is just me but as things have gotten very obviously bad, people are switching their take from "climate change isn't real and/or a big deal" to "why are you saying mean things so much, it's a bummer" Yes. That's why people in this thread (and other threads) routinely make fun of the whole concept of optimism as most people understand it. The typical view is that optimism is an innate and positive character trait and not something that is or should be informed by reality. If you are an optimistic person, you think everything will be okay. The more reality pushes back, the harder you retreat into good vibes only territory. The end result is that even trying to describe reality as it exists is a socially damaging position, to the point where it becomes necessary for experts to couch their predictions in optimistic terms to avoid committing professional suicide. It's useful to understand that this isn't really about climate change at all; it's a fundamental social issue where the status quo is so advantageous to certain groups that false optimism about everything becomes a culture war issue. Anything that involves making genuine changes to society will eventually be expressed in terms of optimism vs. pessimism.
