Well this is very unfortunate. So poorly played by bethesda that I’m going to rethink buying the game.

I didn’t choose pc gaming so these graphics cards companies can split the market here too like with the consoles.

Well, the thing is that symbiotic relationships between beings of different 'intelligence' levels are difficult to measure.

For me an easy way of understanding this is thinking for example about the relations between adults and children or adults and people with mental issues. It is very easy for an adult to exploit/abuse them and how do we know if the 'exploited' part is being happy about it or if they understand what's happening.

For me this is impossible because like them, animals cannot give us consent and they don't understand what we are doing to them.

And of course the abuse goes beyond the 'rational'. Animals are systematically bred to be tortured during a certain amount of time and then horribly killed. Again and again for billions of animals every year.

Veganism can be summarized as 'Through my actions, I will directly and indirectly avoid to contribute to animal suffering in all the ways and as much as possible'. This means being against anything that was produced as a result of animal exploitation: consumption of animal parts or the result of animal labor, leather, wool, circuses, zoos, horse riding, animal experimentation and many others.

It could be considered an evolution from anti-racism to anti-speciesism.

For these and many other reasons, veganism is vastly different from being vegetarian and putting them in the same sack is a mistake.

Regarding materials, there are a ton on internet but since you mentioned bees:

There is also a quick view of the dairy industry in youtube called 'Dairy is Scary'.

But the ultimate compendium of animal abuse is the documentary 'Dominion' narrated by Joaquin Phoenix.

I think there is already a vegan community in another instance, I'm pretty sure that they will answer any questions you may have and provide guidance on how to transition if you are interested.

Exactly. Veganism is not only a diet so it doesn’t make sense for vegetarianism (whatever that means) to be mixed in this.

Vegetarians also like to mix vegetables with dead animals and other animal secretions. I ask the admins to please reconsider this.

It’s beyond my understanding why someone would moderate a subreddit for free for a for-profit organization.

I thought moderators were paid or something. It’s literally working for free. I don’t get it.

I don't care about the graphics but I've always read that the controls are shit.

I'm thinking on buying the gothic games now that they are on sale, though. Morrowind is one of my favorite games and if this one resembles it even if it's a tiny bit, I could deal with the clunkiness.

The game got very mixed reviews on release. I even took a long time until I tried the game because people weren't really recommending it.

Even the sequel was canceled.

But at the same time, I feel that more people are now understanding that reviews mean fuck all and until you try the game you won't know if you like it.

Truly an underrated game. It's excellent.

It takes a bit of time to get used to the new way of dashing and the pistol, etc but man, what a game. It goes gradually from Van Helsing to a Lovecraftian nightmare and it hits you like a train.

[–] JCDenton 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, the game looks like a cringefest. I have no idea how this can be considered ‘dark’ fantasy.

Asking the right questions

Deus Ex and Morrowind are always installed in my computer.
