It was originally a carbon copy of Krafton's PubG end user license. Unknown Worlds has reworded it somewhat for clarification, but it's still the "standard" 'you'll own nothing and be happy' bs that has taken over the industry. Unknown Worlds is not responsible for that, so everyone directing their anger about it at Unknown Worlds has horrific aim, imo.
I said themes. "Uploading" human consciousness to computer memory. "Storing" human consciousness for transference into a robot or android or...
I know Krafton is the ■■■■ in the toilet and unfortunately UW worlds is the victim. But still I don't wanna support krafton at all.
How about only two white guys in the entire game? One is a player-class, one is an NPC made out to be an idiot. The game seems extremely biased or something. I don't mind no guns (no, most survival games don't make you kill things to progress. The Long Dark being an excellent example), but the god-mode on everything EXCEPT your player is frustrating.
I very likely would succumb to claustrophobia aboard a submarine. I salute you, sir.
I hadn't thought about that, but someone else mentioned it recently, too. It's just tied to a respawn like any other respawn, so I wouldn't think it would affect how we play, but it really does, doesn't it? The game just makes "reprinting" seem so commonplace, our subconscious is probably going, "Meh. I'll just reprint. What does it matter?"
And the seeds have been successfully planted..
Really? Transhumanism as a (supposed) philosophy covers a lot of ground, including that, which is more akin to Cyborgism as I see it, and much of the reason why I say it's a confused ideology, not just among the most dystopian science fiction tropes of all time. The "singularity" pushed by a specific individual (who shall remain nameless so as not to break forum rules regarding naming specific public personalities) is as much part of the transhumanism that's taken over Silicon Valley and is now intruding on all our lives as is the notion of "uploading" or "transferring" human consciousness. Comparative philosophy and religion is also a personal interest of mine. We are, in large part, falling for the best and worst of "futurist" thought today as a species, as I see it, with no distinction being drawn between the "übermensch" of Fredrich Nietzsche (a concept most of us don't seem to understand) and pure techno-logic. I can't speak for them, but I distinctly get the impression Jean Gebser, et alia, would probably think it's the "mental-rational" (in Gebser's terms) "human consciousness structure" taken to its most extreme and inherent (dead) end. Good thing, I think, many formerly fervent transhumanists are beginning to question and reject the ideology, which is nowhere near philosophy, i.e. love of wisdom, afic.
smh Is there any point to Internet discussions at all? After all, no one is listening.
They've influenced global culture in its entirety to the point that there's no getting away from transhumanist themes, whether embraced or criticized, in modern Arts & Entertainment media. Reminder:smh
Loving Subnautica 2 thus far. In fact, the original Subnautica and, now, 2 are the only games classified as "survival games" I've ever been able to really enjoy as opposed to feeling I'm just going through repetitive motions. (Most are little other than perpetual motion machines, imo, because they're all about mechanics and have little to nothing to share with the world in the way of art.) I'm not sure the Subnautica games fit in a category, they're so different from the average and mundane, imo. Best of all, no psychological defenses against industry shenanigans are necessary to play. Oh, I see things (like bioreactors) few give even a second thought. And it's too bad few give much of anything a second thought anymore, but what are you going to do?
No worries. I don't feel "attacked" when discussing ideas, especially those not my own. If anything, I suppose you could argue that the incessant appearance of transhumanist themes in modern Arts & Entertainment media is at least bringing them to public consciousness so people can mull them over for themselves and consciously decide whether they want to embrace them or not.
And that is exactly the sentiment you get when listening to some of the audio logs in the game. Carl Sagan would be horrified!
They're aware of the desire for more "round rooms" (actually they weren't round in the original, but whatever) as well as glass roofs and, even, floors. One of the devs said he'd like to see some round pieces himself. I'm sure more habitat pieces are in the works along with furniture, et al. Most of the outcry is over the lack of foundations, but some of the colonist habitats have foundations, so I'm sure they're on the way as well. There's still 2-3 more years development to come. Meanwhile, I think they've done an excellent job with customization.
I wasn't going to say anything about all that, but I just so happened to be there at the time. Fact is, a (likely frazzled) developer got fed up with a guy ranting at him about stupid stuff and demanding a refund from him on Discord. (The player was pinging the developer.) Of course, if the player wanted a refund, he needed to be talking to the distribution platform from which he leased it.
