Gaming nowadays is always about being patient, whether its a pre order or controversy.

This also applies to the internet in general tbh

Original subnautica is amazing. I've played it twice which is a really high bar for me cause I rarely replay story driven games

Below zero isn't bad either, I enjoyed it but it doesn't come close to my first playthrough of subnautica

The dev bonus payout is still unconfirmed and is a rumor until of course either an insider confirms it or it gets confirmed at the end of 2025, when the payout is supposed to happen. Who knows exactly how true it will be, hence why I'm not basing my opinion on it just yet. Could end up being moved to a different date, could end up being true. I just dislike immediately raising pitchforks just because a terrible thing supposedly may happen. I have enough patience to wait and see what the future holds.

Yea the founders getting ousted is a bit of a sour taste. I just have less sympathy for them since they were also the ones who sold the company in the first place.

I will wait and see how its release goes, not that I ever pre ordered a game anyways

I don't have high hopes but I'm going to save my opinions for when it's released

Can you teach me the ways of reversing time

Notinotes is a neat simple app

Its just notes on your notification bar but my previous app has been scrubbed from almost everywhere so its a nice alternative

Yea in fairness to (genuinely) free range, it's probably best if chickens are raised in just not cages but still within an area a farmer can manage. I was thinking of free range as moreso outdoors, with a minimum area per livestock.

For meat chickens, yes they probably have the lowest quality of life. The ones that aren't stuffed in cages are usually not meat chickens though, but a different breed. I'd say they have a decent life because they're not being stuffed full of steroids and are given space to roam.

I'm not sure on bird flu. From what I've read, the conditions of meat chickens living in cages is the reason why bird flu spread so much. The chickens are so cramped, and so unsanitary that they essentially need to be pumped with antibiotics, which caused bird flu to develop a resistant strain. If companies weren't so hellbent at maximizing value, providing just an increase in living space would have hindered the spread of bird flu.

My perspective is that it's more ethical to be able to provide a good quality of life for the animals you raise. One cow with a low quality of life imo is less ethical than a bunch of chickens with a decent quality of life, even if we consider numbers. If you can provide that to a cow, then yea it's probably more ethical than a bunch of chickens. It's just a lot easier to have a chicken live a good life than it is for a cow.

This is all my perspective though

That doesn't add up at all because cattle ranches are notoriously known for pretty low quality of life environments if they arent pasture raised or free range

Then again that basically goes for all farm animals that aren't considered free range, but it's a lot easier to have free range chickens than it is to have cows doing the same.

Clip of his response: https://www.twitch.tv/piratesoftware/clip/AssiduousTiredBoarRitzMitz-j0W1S8wiY9wGCtK7

Video summary (timestamped at where he just trashtalks the movement for a solid minute) https://youtu.be/R-RaQZPzhqU?t=494

I don't know if there's any real good TLDR for this situation, here's the best I could find: https://www.sportskeeda.com/us/streamers/pirate-software-stop-killing-games-controversy-timeline-events

WoW controversy part https://deltiasgaming.com/pirate-software-world-of-warcraft-drama-explained/

There's a couple of other stuff like abuse allegations against him and other minor controversies like cheating in puzzle games. You can look those up if you want.

Also, for context, I do not condone any of the harm sent his way. I think what he's done is pretty scummy, but he and his team doesn't deserve being sent death threats and swatted

The thing the switch can do is play closed garden games because nintendo refuses to release their games anywhere outside of their own consoles

I guess you could use an emulator but thats not ideal for 95% of the population

A lot of older generations own a house pretty much

It's easier to put into perspective when you look at how much cheaper houses were before they got bought up by private equity
