I am vegan (pull out the pitchforks) and am pretty vocal about it on here and used to be on the other website. I wouldn’t say I’m an activist per se, but every comment and post I make about the subject whenever it’s brought up makes me feel like I’m making a difference. If the comment resonates with someone reading and leads to fewer animals and animal-derived products being consumed, I’m happy. So yea, for sure.

Same goes for the two communities I created and mod (c/sekiro and c/bloodborne if anyone’s curious). A bot has recently helped me fill the communities with content since engagement isn’t super high from community members themselves. Before the bot, I tried to make daily posts in both communities, thinking it’s content that I enjoy so others would likely too. Since they’re still quite niche and don’t have a massive following, I think it’s definitely a good start for people interested in the games

Cool post btw. I think it’s easy to lose oneself in the daily monotomy that is life and work and stuff, so reminding oneself that participating in communities such as Lemmy is making a difference in one shape or form

The thing is, when people try to argue that “killing” plants is also killing so I might as well just eat animals, apart from being an insane take as is imho, significantly fewer plants are harvested if you switch to a fully vegan diet. The net result is a lot fewer plants needed to sustain people vs. the oodles and oodles of plants and grains needed to feed cattle, pigs, whatever. There are these charts that show how much more efficient food intake really is if you cut out the middle-man - being animals - and just eat the plants they’d be fed instead.

People just try to discredit vegan whenever they can because of their own insecurities and cognitive dissonance. People who actively oppose veganism, that is

I’m wondering how many years it’ll take for this sample to be up there with all the other classic samples of jungle and dnb

People devalue animals as a whole outside of those that have been accepted by society to be sociable, likable - pets, basically - and only see them as a commodity. They don’t see the animal that dies for their consumption, the suffering they endure, and don’t think about just how many animals die for food. Comparing these mass murders across the globe to the Holocaust might be a little controversial, but I don’t see any other way people realise the sheer absurdity of animal AG.

Magnificent

Bloodborne 2: 120 FPS patch probably

I wonder if he was vegan

A hoonter is a hoonter even in a dream

Holy shit this is so accurate

I guess there’s two types of people. I usually don’t mind the boss runback but if it’s too long, it just takes away from the experience and wears you down overall. Like, I want to get to know the boss, see their moves, have a crack at their different phases and stuff. The Stakes of Marika alleviated this issue. There’s just no skill involved in running back to the boss through fifteen hoops - it’s just annoying. My two cents

I liked the boss a lot. Felt like he was appropriately difficult, the lore around him and the other Vileblood hunters was interesting. The only thing I’d criticise is the arduous boss runback 💀

It’s like a perfect mix between Sekiro and Bloodborne. Amazing game, loving my time with the game so far a lot

Oh yea that’s true. That c&d is so brutal. It’s essentially free advertisement for FS and Sony, no money gained from that whatsoever. Only issue is that copyright laws forbid anything cool made with or from their IP. So annoying.

Team Cherry, Hollow Knight’s developers, are super chill about this. They let you use the characters, the names and stuff for merch for example

Not sure anymore if a woman but definitely female. I think Rom was like some scholar that tried to ascend to the level of a Great One and got to where she is in the game: not fully developed

Haven’t played it myself, but I think Thymesia should be easier, right? It’s got basically the same vibes as BB

That works, sure. Interesting take!

The whole anatomy of Rom is kinda interesting. She looks like a spider at first glance with her legs and spawns spiders to protect her, but at the same time she doesn’t look like a spider at all because of the super huge body and head that don’t really resemble spider anatomy. In “The Paleblood Hunt” Rom is compared to a caterpillar instead of a spider. Given her significance to the lore and the role she occupies, it makes sense.

It’s kinda laughable at this point. I’m not a PC guy so I’m good, but except for Demon’s Souls every single FromSoft soulslike is available on PC. There is no way Sony is not aware of the demand for a PC port - it just feels like they don’t want our money at all. If I had a PC, I’d surely double-dip

If enough people are interested, I’d be down to make it a formal, proper event in the community. Seeing as engagement isn’t super high on here, apart from sporadic upvotes here and there, I’m not sure how many people would realistically participate, but we have to start somewhere, don’t we?
