Sincere question.
Do you think Trump actually REALIZES how much his own country hates him? Or does his narcissism prevent him from seeing it?

@creation247 @darwintojesus A lack of belief in God kinda covers all bases there.

I've never heard an atheist criticize Satan, only God.
Why is that?

@N_e_r_v_a_n_a_ @khaliltooshort A straight on gun shot is non-fatal?

Funny how after Kimiko takes away Butchers powers he doesn’t immediately start dying
You know, because the end of last season showed he was only alive because he bonded with the parasite he got from taking the Compound V?
That would require good writing though

@ChaoticTKnight If you can be 3D printed into a new body infinitely, where is the need for defense?
English
Well, Anthony Gallegos, you can take that stance all you want, but lions, tigers, and bears don't give two flying shits about your politics, philosophies, or ideologies.
They're here to survive, and your looking pretty tasty to them at the moment. It's eat or be eaten.

Subnautica 2 does not allow players to kill fish or other sea creatures using weapons or tools. Unknown Worlds developers have confirmed no plans to add lethal combat mechanics in future patches. Gameplay design lead Anthony Gallegos explained the game’s philosophy: “The tone of the game we’re making is that you are here to exist on this planet, not to dominate it. You’re not the conquering colonist here. The goal here is not for you to master the world and bend it to your will.” Players can still capture small fish for cooking. Defense relies only on tools like flares to distract predators and the multitool to repel creatures. The studio is improving these non-lethal options in response to feedback but won’t add lethal tools. Developers view this as core to the game’s identity and are not planning a combat-heavy experience.

@Dronz2124 @CapnKibs Which is killing them to perform vital functions, not killing due to annoyance.
English
@ButteredCorn75 @CapnKibs I love pedantry, so I will say that if you get reprinted, it's not the same "you". Even if it has all the same memories, that clone is not the same as the one who died.
Also there's nothing wrong with killing the fish, you already eat them and use them as fuel for bioreactors.
English
Ah yes, these non-space-faring fishes are the apex predators. to a human, a species that harnesses the power of the sun and can shape the world at will in their own image. A species capable of seeding itself across the stars.
Through mankind's sheer force of will and intellect, they conquered oceans, mountains, jungles the very Stars themselves. In a universe where humanity is hyper-advanced.
The minute we touched their solar system was the minute we became king.

Why are people getting mad that they’re not the apex predator in “you’re on an alien planet and you’re no longer the apex predator” the game

@Nysaart @ZarisiaTwitch Every conversation on twitter turns into left vs right, it's exhausting sometimes.

@ZarisiaTwitch This fucking post is so biased, and people can't even tell. This whole discourse has just became another "left vs right" shitshow for 0 reason

@ButteredCorn75 @DanielMarmorst3 @CapnKibs The countermeasures are temporary and the fish come back and constantly attack you. The devs actually put out a statement regarding this and that they are gonna work to fix it.
English
@valsaven @JamesAllee1 Defense doesn't need to mean killing, when did those 2 words become synonymous?
English
> I don't think there's a need to take jabs at people who want to play it 100% peacefully
I think the same and have no problem with peaceful players at all. The post is obviously directed at those who furiously insist that EVERYONE has to play non-violently and in some cases even label players who want to defend themselves as aggressive or psychopathic🙂

The shitstorm around Subnautica 2 highlighted a very telling detail that fits perfectly with the whole "red button vs blue button" discussion.
There are two types of players:
1. Some want to use every tool the game offers and play their own version of Subnautica.
2. Others are rule-loving bootlickers who can only enjoy the game when they’re strictly following the official rules they were given.
The funniest part is that it's exactly these rule enforcers who are furiously resisting the simple request to bring back a basic mechanic from the first game - the knife. This would let people have fun instead of being forced into this stifling underwater stealth-action.
There's literally zero downside for the rule defenders: don't want to use the knife/torpedoes/drills? Just don't use them :3 Go play your peaceful happy little soy underwater farm. Those who want to go full survival psycho can do that too. But the mere idea sets the rule guardians' asses on fire.
Deep down they probably know that without artificial restrictions they couldn't stick to pacifism. Funny enough, I did a full pacifist ghost run of Dishonored on my first playthrough and went full murder machine on the second. During the ghost run the weapon icons didn't bother me at all because I chose not to use them. On the second run I wanted to hack and slash everything that moved😼
Seems like the rule defenders lack that kind of self-control. If the devs add the knife back, their inner itch won't let them play pacifist anymore. And that's exactly what they're afraid of.

@valsaven Then go make a mod or program your own game, problem solved.

@ButteredCorn75 @DanielMarmorst3 @CapnKibs The multitool doesnt kill or do anything to the medium fish trying to kill you, unlike the first game where you can kill them with a knife.
English
@Stere0at @Dragishigh Agreed, it's mostly people that know nothing about the game that are piling on. There's no need to kill since we can resurrect infinitely.
English
@Dragishigh The Hatchet very much does scare off small predators and the feedback resonator scares off everything else. What is it with you all thinking killing something is the only way to deter it?
English
If a small hostile creature attacks you, in Subnautica 1 and Below Zero, you have a knife to fend them off - in Subnautica 2, your hatchet does fuck all to the fish trying to rip your insides out. Any "You just want rifles and nukes" arguments deliberately ignore the point.
English
@Khandort @Dragishigh There are deterrents in the early game. You can make flares that distract and there's a concussive rifle used to clear pathways that serves to stun them.
English
@Dragishigh Yup. People want just early game detergents for some the annoyances with enemy hostilities but you say this and people scream REEE YOU ARE JUST VIOLENT ANT WANT TO KILL EVERYTHING! And its like.. no.. but its easier to scream and name call when you strawman and snowball it.
English
@jzabeth53 @DanielMarmorst3 @CapnKibs You have a multi-tool and you can kill small organisms for food and mats.
English
@DanielMarmorst3 @CapnKibs Bro....I never said I wanted a bomb or weapons like a gun in the game. I'm pointing out how people in the game can make thise things with the tools realistically. I just want the knife back and to be able to kill the medium sharks and small fish. Reading comprehension is lost.
English
@thespyfromtf21 @CapnKibs You can kill the smaller fish for materials and food
English
@CapnKibs Spearfishing is a regular activity especially when it comes to invasive lionfish. Are we just gonna ignore that sometimes killing animals is better for the environment?
Subnautica either way makes no sense, only a few raised areas on a super deep planet. How did they not sink???
English
@FrRoseAngel @PugsDiamond A great way to adapt and survive is by defending yourself with weapons. That's how humanity got this far.
English
This game perfectly encapsulated today's leftist suicidal empathy.
"No, man, you shouldn't kill the gigantic man eating alien monster because killing is bad and it's not his fault that it wants to kill you."

@PugsDiamond Not everything is political dumb shit, it's a game that doesn't let you take the easy way out. Fucking cope.
Whiny bitches all over this app...
English
@kenshirotism You have a multi-tool that serves as a knife as well as flares for distraction and a concussive rifle used for clearing pathways, but it serves to knock out predators for a short time. There's no need to kill.

Divers carry knives on them.
Just tone down the aggressive AI and let people have a knife.
Right there, 90% of the issues are solved.

Subnautica 2 devs say "go play Sons of the Forest" if you don't like its lack of violence. The game focuses on underwater exploration, and you cannot kill most creatures. On the official Discord, one player asked why killing is impossible in SN2 as it makes no sense. Level designer Artyom O’Rielly replied, “This is not a killing game, so go play Sons of the Forest if you want to kill.” Another developer said, “The team discusses this a lot inside the studio and may let players catch small fish for food, but large creatures will stay safe so the game feels right.” This idea comes from the first Subnautica, as the team wants players to discover things, feel wonder, and live with ocean life instead of fighting it. A fan-made mod already lets players kill creatures, and the studio is reading all feedback. It plans to add better ways to scare off creatures but will not add weapons. Early access is expected to last up to 3 years.
