@hankgreen To be entirely fair to them, vertebrates have a higher affinity for intelligence than invertebrates do, so it might take them a little bit

Primates have existed for 50 million years, octopuses for 100. There seem to be some interesting constraints at work here that we do not really understand.

🚨: Oxford biologist says that if humans go extinct, octopuses could build the next civilization.

@HexNoEyes @reiofdeath_ To be entirely fair to it, everyone pretends below zero doesn’t exist when they talk about subnautica, albeit every creature in there is amazing
English
@reiofdeath_ ive never heard anyone talk about the shadow leviathan and that makes me sad
English
I’ve like NEVER heard anyone talk about how the Shadow Leviathan is a big, fucked up Conodont.

@SZedkitty I think it’s because that despite the categories we all like to separate ourselves in, trans women are still human, and thus a comic depicting real emotion will inspire empathy. I’m not a trans women, I am a straight cis man, but nonetheless I am moved by this comic
English
why are most people making fanart of this not even trans women?
i have my gripes with this comic. i don’t completely hate it, but it’s just something i felt like pointing out.

@Stonelaw_ Honestly I like tadbulb, bellibolt however is buns

@Sylvonyx @VCreateArt I like how you understood the prompt instead of just making them fusions
English
@jalenciagasart Yeah I can see that. Original is more like blaziken gaining the traits the megastone would give zard, but not zard itself, and even some original traits
English
i think some artists are misinterpreting this as fusions instead of pokemon with the qualities of the stones original owner
yawn 🇨🇲@Wasdmon
what if you could give Pokemon who mega evolve, the wrong mega stone

@wyrmlingsAid @denpanopticon WRONG profession. It’s actually paleontology. Archeology is different

none of what you ever did was your fault

@D3MOCRAC7 No, I think they should just have more ways added in to dissuade predators, and also buff predator damage a little bit
English
@Goatdorah07 So make them killable and have consequences??
English
@Goatdorah07 That’s what made it good, you try but realistically nothing would be gained and you’d just run away from everything, they felt like a true danger instead of the ultra fuck you die unkillable laser
English
@D3MOCRAC7 Thus it pushes you to use more creative means to get them away. It should also be noted that to compensate, they don’t do a massive amount of damage either
English
@D3MOCRAC7 The lesson is still present in 2, probably even more so, as in the first game since they can be killed, and anyone determined enough can kill them, which is what they’re trying to avoid. 2 having them be unkillable better shows you that trying to harm these animals doesn’t work,-
English
@D3MOCRAC7 People are just upset that they need to use more creative forms of dissuasion
English
@D3MOCRAC7 If nothing is gained, then the point of keeping it in has less of a staple. The knife is primarily a tool for harvesting certain items. If you couldn’t do anything but dissuade predators at best in base sub, then the knife was pointless, as you can still do that,-
English
@D3MOCRAC7 Place. Generally there are different ways to get predators off your back in the 2nd game, and I also think it’s good that unknown worlds is pushing back on this criticism since subnautica isn’t a combat based survival game
English
@D3MOCRAC7 To be entirely fair, if you’re just a guy with a knife vs John apex predator, you aren’t winning anyways. You couldn’t really kill things in subnautica with the knife that weren’t fodder level fish without some fairly busted method that shouldn’t be in the game in the first-
English
I don’t like how people are switching up on the devs and the other half being obtuse so let me break it down for you idiots
We don’t need weapons and combat, the world just feels so fake if everything is totally invincible

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.

@gemmabeepo To be entirely fair, the mangos aren’t either. They’re just really an analogue for sharks, so it’s definitely possible that they have some level of convergence with other creatures
English
I need support on this thing very clearly being a weird squid and not a shark… currently the game’s databank puts the Needler with the mangos (sharks) but it doesn’t really resemble the other two at all…

dude what is that thing... Hello #ptwt #parodytwitter

@FranDrawer03 Skull crawler slander? That’s one of the best ones. I think that while the idea is unique, they don’t do anything with skull island
English
Una parte de mi aprecia bastante que hayan construído una isla calavera sin dinosaurios, usando criaturas únicas y originales.
La otra parte de mí ve esto y piensa "Que le jodan al Skullcrawler, un dinosaurio kaiju hubiera molado mucho"

Man, I love Kong: Skull Island...

@amorphous714 I stand to disagree. The flares can work as distractions. In OG sub you couldn’t do too much to the wildlife anyways
English
>add a plethora of aggresive creatures that notoriously spawn camp bases
>provide no tools to deal with them
Top tier game design right there

The developers of Subnautica 2 want to keep the game non-violent like the first one. They want players to adapt and live with the ocean creatures instead of fighting or killing them with weapons. This core idea started years ago when studio founder Charlie Cleveland chose to leave guns out of the series after the Sandy Hook shooting. He wanted the game to feel like peaceful exploration of nature rather than adding more violence to the world. Even though fans from one country overwhelmingly asked for the chance to craft weapons in the sequel the team says this will be a repeated point of resistance. One developer explained "I think it's a point of resistance that we'll get repeatedly while making the game though we feel strongly about it." So players must instead use smart tools evasion and distraction to survive.
