  • I was asking a sincere question, to be frank, but I can see that’s not welcome among your peers here. If I was drawing any moral equivalence though, it would be between said “migrant farm worker” 's inability to provide for their very human child in any way that resembles stability much less any chance to escape the exploitive cycle of our system and an animal “being tortured” “and killed”. (I’m not aware of any food product that first rapes the animals, fyi.)

    So, where does that put children of migrant workers on your tiered morality list? Their parents pick your vegetables, and often so do they instead of going to school (if they even have school as an option). I’m genuinely curious.

    edit: Ah, yes, the silent outrage of drive-by downvoting rather than making the effort to engage in mature discourse. Color me surprised.







  • Personally having put in several hundred hours with Elite Dangerous (pre-landings, even), I’m glad to read this comment of yours. I don’t disagree about the game loop comparison, and yet I was hoping that Starfield would succeed where ED stayed limp all these years: quadrant-spanning politics, faction progress, living economies and similar. Hell, after knocking out my Merchant elite rank, I just focused on baggin’ griefers until Combat ranked up as well, but… menu scrolling for hours to tick that last box? I just couldn’t find the time. Especially when planets had no atmosphere, outposts were a joke, and even artifact sites were a half-baked afterthought by an obviously overdrawn team. 😅🥹🤷🏼‍♂️

    Just… Dammit. Why.
