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

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.

Ayy Lemmy.zip :)

Their CEO is a nutjob tho

Thanks, just made a meme with it :)

Enshittification, the rise of micro transactions in mobile games over actual in-game mechanics that make the game interesting etc

That’s actually good advice

Rad!

Awesome! Is it a special edition 3DS or is there a different reason for getting it from Japan?

Consider putting custom firmware on the 3DS - opens up lots of possibilities and gives you access to pretty much any game you could ever want

vegan btw

Now that’s interesting. The German word for salmon is “Lachs” [laks] which is basically the same as “lox” [lɔks]. The change from the “ɔ” sound to the “a” sound likely has to do with the Great Vowel Shift

I stand corrected, then

So like Pokemon essentially, right?

Wouldn’t a mod like that risk the game being taken down due to copyright infringement or something similar? As I understood it, using Pokemon in a mod isn’t bad in and of itself, but because of the combination with a “Pokemon-derivative” game it would be problematic to host the mods

I’ve only very surface-level knowledge of the game, but to me it seems like an amalgam of all kinds of early access games. It seems to offer a little bit of everything but not a whole lot of depth. I might be wrong, so do feel free to weigh in and tell me if anyone’s up for it

I really couldn’t care less about this game, but this is a based stance to ensure the game’s longevity

So, a lot of my family is alcoholic - both paternally as well as maternally. Both parents are alcoholics, but it’s not taking their lives over completely: they’re still, more or less, functioning members of society with stable income and such. My older brother is an alcoholic, not really aware of what it’s doing to relationships to me, my younger brother, and our parents and completely shuts off whenever it’s brought up as a subject. He hasn’t achieved too much in his life, probably because of alcohol, and is the type of person of getting super close up in your personal space, super loud and obnoxious when he’s drunk. Not pleasant to be around.

Back when we all lived at our parents’, it was mostly fine when I started university - we gamed a lot, spent time together, went to university together, had mutual “friends” etc. He had problems with alcohol, but they were not as pronounced as they are now. Co-dependancy led to a lot of cope and ignoring of his issues from my side which changed drastically when I moved out and moved in with my girlfriend. We started seeing each other a lot less frequently - say, like 5-7 times a year for birthdays or other similar family gatherings - and whenever we see each other, he brings up that we don’t see each other at all. Yea, I guess when I just can’t stand you at all when you’re drunk, that influences my willingness to meet up.

Last year on my birthday, I requested beforehand that we spend the evening without my family drinking alcohol at all. They were quite shocked and at a loss for words, saying that they’re not sure if that’s possible, but were ultimately fine with it and didn’t drink anything. They also only served vegan food instead of the usual vegan food for my girlfriend and I plus their stuff too which felt awesome. Best birthday in years.

I have more contact with my little brother who still lives at my parents’ and has contact with my older brother, but it’s not terrificly much either. I know that he’s not doing well there in terms of his relationship with our brother, but he’s not seeing the issues. Co-dependancy is more pronounced with him still. It hurts me that we’re not spending much time together since he was constantly around before I moved out, spending time with me and my girlfriend a lot, going on trips, playing games etc., but I’m just not really “in the mood” these past few years.

I’ve thought of giving my older brother an ultimatum, letting him decide to choose the alcohol or the relationship with me, but I’m too scared of conflicts, so I end up ignoring my family for the most part. I’m happy living my life with my girlfriend and don’t mourn over it too much, figuring out our life living together. I’m just happy I’m not exposed to the constant bullshit anymore.

To add to your answer, Skyrim also supports mods on PS4/5 and there are even a couple really useful ones. Stuff like the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch exists, for example.
