  Good advice, thanks

  Unlikely, yes. Both would likely be required

  No, it was not meant as a moral argument but the ecological impact of eating honey and supporting honey farming and beekeeping, as stated in my comment. The ethical argument is the same with any other animal that could be, but shouldn’t be from my point of view, exploited for our gain.

  Plus there’s a difference between harvesting the literal nourishment of a species that requires it for their own suatainment and using them for crops and their pollination: one of them is easily avoidable and unnecessary, the other is a necessary evil but ultimately still required if I want to keep on living.

  The most ecological and ethically sound conclusion then would be to just stop existing, but I don’t have a deathwish, so that’s the least harmful option out of the ones I have.

  Capitalism is founded on exploitation of other people, our environment, animals, whatnot, so I don’t have any other option until capitalism is overturned and another form of governing rule is established, desirable but currently not possible, so all I can do is minimise the impact I have on the environment, on animals, on other people as much as possible.

  I’m not an expert on artificial sweeteners, but as far as I know, they’re to be consumed in moderate amounts just like sugars are. And from what I’ve heard, stevia is among the better sweeteners compared to something like aspartame or maybe even sucralose. The mixing of sugar and a sweetener is not ideal, I think that’s true.

  I’ll gladly be proven otherwise - don’t know enough about them tbh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit's getting real⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Honeybees destroy ecosystems because they’re more efficient at pollination than wild bees are, so there’s an ecological nuance to abstaining from honey. Apart from that, there’s the ethical component of taking away food that the bees produce for themselves that’s not ours for the taking.

  Used to hate Arizona quite a bit because it felt super bougie and expensive for what’s essentially just a regular ice tea. Developed a taste for it over the years and like it quite a bit nowadays because it’s partly sweetened with stevia which makes it taste very pleasantly. Quite unfortunate that most of the flavours sold here aren’t vegan because they insist on 0,1% of honey in the ingredients

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gonna be controversial but Monster Hunter World for me. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the game a lot at first and put 100+ hours into it. But it marked the departure from the silly, cozy, slightly under-the-radar franchise to something that’s just too big for my tastes. I feel like each entry is trying to top its predecessor in new mechanics, bigger maps and stuff and end up getting lost in the sauce.

  I started playing on PSP with Freedom 2 and Freedom Unite and moved over to 3DS when the games came out for that. The games were never unpopular per se, especially in Japan where they’ve been a staple since the PSP days, but they always felt a little more niche and unknown. They felt more focused, more streamlined, tighter. All the new combat mechanics added in newer installments definitely help the fluidity of the gameplay and add a lot of fun and variety. But that’s it for new additions that I’d miss when going back to older titles. These huge open-world-esque maps just don’t cut it for me.

  Rise would likely have been last MH that I could enjoy since it’s a good mix of classic MH with good QoL features added in to make the game more modern, but even that one didn’t quite catch my attention for too long.

  I don’t know, I feel like Monster Hunter kinda lots its charme in chasing industry trends of open world games and more realistic graphics and physics in favour of character, silliness, and focus.

  Oh gee, I couldn’t think of something to put there. But Fable 3 was definitely a flop

  My older brother found our grandmother on Google Earth quite a few years ago, right in front of her house where she’d sit in the afternoons. It’s crazy - it’s like she’s never left. I’m glad she died before she had to witness the war in the Ukraine. Слава Україні 💙

  I get all of your points and agree with most. However, your experience is entirely unchanged if people who want to have difficulty settings play with them and you don’t. It’s a single-player game - their decisions to do not affect you in the slightest.

  Imagine if DS3 was the exact same game it is right now, but you have the option of choosing a difficulty options that reduces the damage you take and increases the damage you deal, for people who want that kind of experience. Would that change anything about the experience you had with the game?

  At the of the day, as long developers have the freedom to do as they please and communicate what they feel like is the “preferred” experience, there is no harm in catering to more people outside the inner circle of most dedicated players who have the luxury of putting as much time into the game as they are able to. Like, why would that bother you?

  The more people get to experience the game, the better in my opinion. I don’t gain anything from gating people from playing the game other than an already negative rap the genre and its player base gets from elitist opinions on their game. Not saying you’re an elitist for having the opinions you outlined - it’s just something to consider.

  And yea, I firmly believe that the entire genre - including FS games - would profit from that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please can we make Soulslikes easier????? I can't handle the levels but want to feel leik a gamer.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why though? You do end up not playing the game at all if you’re barred from it because of imposed arbitrary difficulty settings

  Nothing wrong with adding difficulty options to a genre that’s been notoriously inaccessible to wide swathe of players. It doesn’t take anything away from the accomplishments of players who want to play on higher difficulties and only gives options to those who need or want to have difficulty options.

  I’m hugely in favour of new soulslikes adding difficulty options and welcome them with open arms. Having options is always good. :)

  Holy shit, reading this gave me unreasonable anxiety. Thankfully, structural integrity of buildings is to be expected in Germany most of the time. Our bridges are shit but houses are fine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corporations are saving the planet!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I get that. Just the word “motivation” seems off in this context. I’m all for having deposits on plastic bottles and cans - it’s free money (girl math 💅🏻) - I just didn’t like that word in that context

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corporations are saving the planet!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I get what you’re trying to say about homeless people, and there are many people reliant on collecting plastic bottles in Germany too, but motivation in that context sounds a tad off imo
