  • Hmmm, ok what if the biters the critters themselves are stupid drones but the nests are sentient. Maybe the biters are like white blood cells part of the natural defenses of the nests. Something the “Brain” cannot control directly.

    I am not saying this is the case or the developers thought that but it certainly is a possibility.


  • Sure sounds like something a colonizer would say.

    I first wanted to “/s” this but it’s literally the reasons some colonizers used to justify atrocities. Btw it’s canon that the factorio guy is evil as confirmed by the developers.

    I get it in the game there is no way of confirming or even researching the sentients of the bugs but be honest was it your first instinct to check if they are? I sure as hell didn’t. I mean they attacked me first, right?..right?! (Until you realize that you are killing them with your pollution)

    I love that game design, even the music plays a role. Iirc it was designed a bit eerie as if something is wrong.

    There are many ways of being evil, petting the dog does not make a truly evil character less evil.

    A lot of real life evil people actually like animals at least when it suits them in my experience.

    A bit off topic but there are games where you are absolutely evil but it’s not easily recognizable. For example factorio.

    Most people consider themselves not evil.



  • I mean I wasn’t really serious as we are in a shit post community right now.

    But do you realize how fucking hard it is to keep US politics out of your experience here? So many seemingly unrelated communities post election bullshit it’s not even funny :/

    I do think that the next presidential US election is important not only for Americans but the world. Although it really is tiring to watch from over here and I can only imagine how tired most Americans must be…

    Funny Gentoo actually was my gateway to arch. Loved the customizability of Gentoo and the rolling release model.

    But building Chrome and Firefox (I needed both for work reasons sometimes) every update was the nail in the coffin. Switched to Arch and didn’t miss a thing.



  • That picture is hanging in one of my philosophy professors office. She used this image as an introduction to epistemology.

    It is obvious to us that there is a mountain there but how are we coming to that conclusion exactly. I.e. What kind of logical assumptions and inferences are we making.

    And how can we priorities sources of knowledge. For example what if the instruments of the plane claim there was no mountain.
