Humanity, on the regular:
* Enables monsters to bring about the climate apocalypse with superyachts & personal jets;
* Causes/Enables/Ignores the abuse and punishment of the most vulnerable;
* Scapegoats immigrants/the disabled as the cause of all ills.

@PushinVerts β I love your art and I think you'd understand why I want to stay in DF. Honestly, this is devastating for me. I either lose three whole zones or DF's dungeons thanks to the XP gain's lock being 69βnot 70. Could you mention this to the higher-ups? I'd appreciate it!
@Warcraft & @WarcraftDevs β I'm bummed but I have to cancel my sub. You won't let me stay in Dragonflight. Three of its zones are 70 but the max level for XP gain pausing is 69. 71 forces me into TWW's dungeons. It's mean-spirited, really. Why force me into TWW? 1/3
@Warcraft & @WarcraftDevs β If you fix this, I'll be back in a flash. I think that it's nice to have choices. I juat want to be able to play DF's end level zones and stop XP gain so I'm not forced into TWW. Just one level from 69 to 70, would it really hurt anything? #WoW 3/3
@Warcraft & @WarcraftDevs β There are a variety of reasons, anxiety among them, why I don't want to play TWW. I love Dragonflight, it's amazing, but you're telling me I can't just keep playing that. Why? DF was a comfort-zone for this disabled gamer. Will you fix this? #WoW 2/3
@Warcraft, @Blizzard_Ent, @WarcraftDevs β You guys NEED to make Behsten the experience eliminator work up to level 79! I don't want to play TWW! If I can't turn off XP gain and play what I want without it becoming irrelevant? I have no reason to keep subscribing.
@Subnautica There's only one question that matters to me, as it really defined my interest in Subnautica. Will the focus still be on coexistence? That's what I loved so much about Below Zero. There are so painfully few games about exploration and coexistence with the unknown.
@rogerahicks@ClimateHuman Why civilisation self-destructs? Reason given. Hive can't sense own immorality, sees luxury & convenience as divine right, believes no harm can come of it, thinks all ill must be due to other. Solution?: War. Always war. This is The Great Filter, biggest existential threat. 6/
@rogerahicks@ClimateHuman Climate scientist not serving "our hive," insisting that "our hive" has done wrong? Nonsense. This cannot be, therefore climate scientist is morally dubious otherβcon artist, flim-flam man. "Our hive is divine, born good, can only do good." Thus: lying, deceptive con artists. 5/
@rogerahicks@ClimateHuman Shareholders want infinite growth because "grow our hive, for the good of the hive." Anyone contrary to that is otherness, thus morally dubious. "Our hive can do no wrong, bad things only happen to otherness hives because always morally dubious." Hence just-world fallacy. 4/
@rogerahicks@ClimateHuman Climate scientists are other, nature itself is other. If ofher isn't serving "our hive & affiliated hives" in some way, such as superiority by comparison (class), exploitation, et al? Otherness is worthless. Same for scientists: If not helping promote "our hive," worthless. 3/
@rogerahicks@ClimateHuman Instance of X vs. needs Y. "Our hive" needs "their hive." Otherness is inferior, morally dubious, must therefore be planning evil against superior hive. Justification for atrocity. War, slavery, Judge Rotenberg Center, just-world fallacy. "Otherness exists to serve our hive." 2/
@rogerahicks@ClimateHuman Allistic hiverism borne of social identity. Allistics fit in. Make hives around charismatic person(s). Such hive monarchs likely to be dark triad/infected with toxoplasma gondii. Allism has "for the good of our hive, and hives affiliated with us only" mindset. Short-sighted. 1/
@ClimateHuman@ClimateHuman β I am sorry about this, I know you're doing your best. The thing is... You're counting on values from social identities. Nigh every autist with a values-based identityβwhose brain doesn't run on "Unga bunga!" tribalismβis behind you. But we don't number enough.
I just did a big ramble over on the fluffy elephant about the predatory nature of "best practises," how the big two engines have exploited how we think about games, and why I hope Godot will be the new standard.

I'm doing this again as this is something I want ro see understood. If you're in a dev position and/or you're a writer? Please read this and pass it along. Tagging in @UnknownWorlds, @Flayra as I spoke about S:BZ.

I just did a big feelings dump on the fluffy elephant and I want it to be seen. It might be hard, but I ask you to stick with it and please read it through to the end. It would mean a lot to me. Thanks.

@aaronehasz@wonderstorm_inc β I have to ask... Please, please don't let Zubeia die. I'm doing my best to hope for the best, but... I have to air my feelings. Sorry.

So, I hope that you'll see and read all of this because I want you to understand how singular BZ was. I want to express that to you. It was a rare experience for me, one of a few I think I'll know in my lifetime. This world was never meant for me, but for a time 4546B was.

@Flayra β I hope that Subnautica 2 still has a vibe of coexistence. You don't need to reply to this, just... airing thoughts. BZ especially meant so much to me as someone with abuse-related anthropophobia and autistic "Wrong Planet" syndrome.
