    You forgot that your starting area determines literally everything about your quality of life and average lifespan.

    As well as the rare “born rich” perk that turns the difficulty of the game completely off and puts you into MC story mode where everyone else becomes an NPC.

    • Levels 7-15 are filled with griefers
    • There are no viable builds for levels 12-17, everything is awkward and unbalanced
    • You’re assigned a team when you spawn, but you don’t even know the teams exist until level 12 or so, and once you learn what team you’re on, you can’t change teams
    • You’re forced to play on hardcore mode and you’re only allowed one playthrough [disputed]
    • There’s no pause, and if you logout it’s game over
    • Game balance is shitty: P2W players exploit the rest, some players spawn with permabuffs in place, others spawn with permanerfs
    • Nobody can see any other player’s HP or buffs, so a player playing on ezmode can pretend they’re just good at the game
    • No official documentation, although certain clans claim they have the official documentation, these clans are frequently at war over whose documentation is correct
    • Released 10 billion years ago, no updates since, no way to contact the devs
    • Multiplayer only
    • Player housing exists, but is absurdly expensive and requires constant grinding to maintain
    • Cooking minigame can be fun, but you have to play it all the time, and it’s expensive to skip it. It’s also attached to a clean-up minigame which sucks.
    • Most food in the game has long-term debuffs that are hard to clear
    • You have to juggle all these meters: health, thirst, hunger, temperature, horniness, sleep, boredom, anxiety, etc. but the devs didn’t simply put them on a HUD, instead there are these frequently buggy out-of-band hints.

    OOF that AI slop imagery - like, it’s so bad now, you can see it from a mile away. how did ai image synthesis get worse over time? they let it eat it’s own garbage, that’s how - gigo is reinforcing all the bad ideas RAPIDLY.

    look at those clouds - you know, the ones that look like a blackmetal band logo - everywhere. and the strange thing going on where the mountains of pakistan meet india - wtf is that supposed to be, continental quilting?

      Also it’s literally just a picture of earth. There are a thousand and one pictures of earth on the internet that look better.

      There is zero reason to make this photo with AI. It’s more effort than just googling a photo.

        technically space isn’t a mile away.

        the most widely cited boundary is the Kármán line, set at 100 km (62 miles) above mean sea level by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.

        you don’t even need to reach space to see how fuckin bad this ai slop is.

        it’s not an availability thing methinks… it’s a fetish thing.

        they really think that AI should provide everything. then they won’t even have to move, get out of bed etc., they can just become one with their friend the algo, and the slop will flow right to them.

      Technically you can re-spec some of the more ingrained aspects of your character too but they come with heavy financial and social penalties.

      Some even incur the “hunted” status in some servers, like changing “gender” or “religion.”

      Honestly it’s a pretty bad game but they trick you into liking it by giving you access to things like “pets,” “cookies,” and “cosumable media”.

        Opens up? It’s pretty much pure grind, level after level, unless you got very lucky with your class and skills, or got the “rich” trait at character creation.

        Better go play a less bad game, like Diablo 4.

      I tried to change my username. Twice! But the amount of time and paperwork and legal hoops to get it done was ridiculous. Plus, the state I was living in at the time required that I justify my change with a court appearance, and the judge would decide whether my reasoning was justified. And I had 30 days to complete the whole process from start to finish or all my paperwork would be invalidated and I’d have to start all over again. Most appointments I needed had to be scheduled over a month out already! Some required 4-6 weeks to process paperwork and get back to me.

      Another state I tried it in required I make a formal, public declaration in a newspaper or on a TV broadcast or something. I couldn’t just change my username on legal records, I needed to document it publicly for the world to be involved in my business.

      So I said “fuck that” and kept my current username. I just tell everyone to call me by my preferred username, as I’ve done all my life.

        To be fair, nobody actually reads the “newspaper of record.” It is generally not the big, famous paper for any given city, like one might assume.
