Scottoest wrote:(Don't read on if you don't want filler side content with no real narrative value 'spoiled' for whatever reason)
So I've been playing Crimson Desert for several weeks now. Having a really good time with it, despite the story and characters being pretty 'bleh', the pacing being wonky at times, and some of the missions being annoying.
However, one thing I've noticed in the past few days especially, is the the morality of this game seems absolutely fucked at times. The game has "bounties", which are essentially just human fetch quests for criminals you turn in at the jail. Last night I did a 'bounty' for... a former slave, who killed his master and ran away. As you're taking them to jail, the former slave is talking about how cruel he was and how he doesn't regret it. The entire thing felt incredibly fucked up, because it was. And the game makes no attempt to justify you arresting them. There's no real mechanic where you can make a choice to let them go and the game takes specific note. Kliff says absolutely nothing. He's just another criminal you bring in.
I found it so bizarre that the game doesn't remark on it at all. And this isn't the only example. There's bounties where you're bringing in people who were stealing because they're poor, or stealing from the wealthy to give TO the poor. And here's where I should also add that, as part of 'arresting' them, you're forced to also brutally punch them in the face several times before the "Tie up" prompt appears. No matter the crime; no matter if the criminal is a man or woman. Kliff is beating the shit out of them before he ties them up.
Again: I can't stress enough that the game has NOTHING to say about this. It's not a subversive commentary on being a bad man in a bad world who thinks he's the hero or something. Characters are incredibly one-dimensional. There's the bad guys you kill who are always clearly bad, and there's everyone else who is represented as pretty blandly 'good'.
Later on in the game (or early if you explore the entire map I guess), you'll find a desert town called Tashkalp that just has outright chattel slavery. You'll see what appears to be them being violently punished, or them being sold at auction. There's no actual dialogue, but the general "mise en scène" seems pretty clear. You get a mission involving investigating potential theft by slaves on a farm. You do missions for the guards seemingly upholding this society. And again, the game says nothing about it. There's not so much as a single line of dialogue from Kliff about it.
There's another town where everyone is wearing helmets that let the ruler surveil them and their thoughts 24/7. Kliff DOES call this ruler a madman or something along those lines, but still does missions for said madman nor is there any sort of resolution... or addressing for that matter... of the situation.
So fellow CD players, what on earth is going on here? Does South Korea have some laissez-faire attitude towards slavery I'm not aware of? Does the game address this more head on somewhere I'm not aware of or haven't discovered yet? Kliff cares very much about saving slaves from Pailune (except if they kill their master and run away I guess), but doesn't seem to give a shit otherwise. This is just the world Kliff lives in, and neither he or the game have anything more to say about it.
In conclusion: What the fuck? Discuss. User banned (2 weeks): Xenophobic generalizations

Quote:#185
It feels to me like the dominant mode of writing on discussion forums for certain people is not so much interested in, well, discussion, but rather primarily interested in lecturing, i.e. I have the only correct thing to say on [subject], therefore you need to sit down and read what I have to say and agree with me. There's a seeming implicit (and in some cases, explicit) expectation on the part of some that, having written whatever argument you have to make, that should be the final word, and anyone who responds with anything other than full-throated agreement is committing a sort of moral offense. But regardless of the correctness of one's stance, it's really strange how many people come into discussions with that mindset and expect to see positive results in contrast to, well, every single book and study ever conducted on how to effectively build mutual trust and understanding and maybe even occasionally change someone's mind. Just to say it plainly, that doesn't work. No one likes or appreciates being lectured at by someone simply proclaiming to be morally superior. It might feel good and important in the moment, but if it ends up driving people away from wanting to discuss (as has been happening not just to this place, but Internet forums in general), and then you end up addressing an increasingly small and insular subset of people who were already predisposed to agreeing with you anyway, is that really a win?

Quote: Seriously.
What further understanding do you actually need?
People tend to be highly motivated not to support their own genocide.
If both viable candidates in an election are supporting someone's genocide, it would be understandable for that person to abstain from voting.
It doesn't actually matter if one of the parties is preferable to you.
Supporters of either party interested in getting this bloc to vote need to address the actual contradiction at play like rational adults, which is that you now exist in a society where both political parties are genocidal against certain groups of people.
Badgering people undergoing genocide about why they don't support the "good" genocidaires or don't want to sacrifice their lives when you clearly aren't willing to sacrifice your life for them is both obnoxious and a waste of time.
Phone your local Democrats to stop being bigoted. End of.

After 10/7, whenever people tried to talk about the genocide/ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in company public forums (email lists, groups, chats, etc), the Zionists would employ the very tactics you see here.
Say, for example, someone is bringing light to Rafah being bombed, or the WCK murders, or the bombings of hospitals, anything - a Zionist would come in, say something outlandish, provocative like "oh they were Hamas, they were terrorists, they were human shields, you're anti-semites, you hate Jews, I don't feel safe working with you" whatever, take your pick. They would intentionally come to derail constructive conversations about organizing for Palestine, and then magically an admin or HR person would say "oh we've breached our company code of conduct here, we're shutting this thread/group/chat down". It was extremely effective. I often see the same shit in reddit, and the exact same thing here as well. Hasan threads are textbook examples.

Being a so-called "Cis ally" always, always, ALWAYS ends up going like this.
Cis Ally = "Trans rights are human rights! Fuck J K Rowling!!"
*Trans community on Bsky / Twitter finds random, mild, unfunny joke made by said Ally 10 years ago*
Trans community = "Fuck that TERF! Fuck you, you Fucking piece of shit!!!"
*Cis Ally disappears of the internet, never to be heard of again*
So yeah, fuck being an ally. Trans-community dug their own hole. They can stay there.

I'm mainly referring to free open-source software.
I've started to pay attention to the "Contributors" on GitHub and only to find out that AI (LLMs thereafter) has infested almost everything I discovered / use that's open-source.
Found out that an Archipelago implementation for a game was basically vibecoded to get a foot in (but still used afterwards) and the author basically went "yeah, I use AILLMs to help me." That made me delete the files off my SSD. Then, I happened to check my GitHub notifs and found out that there was a reply to a discussion I had started for a software that allowed me to contact another software without me having to remote into another PC. Only to find out that it was an automated triage message that was LLM Gen'd. That made me check the contributors only to find, you guessed it, Claude.
I checked some other programs. Another was one that I had my eyes on as an alternative to something janky I use only to see Claude as well. For "fun", I checked OBS Studio and Notepad++ and, thankfully, they haven't been infected. Yet. Or it has and they deleted the contributor and no way to know in the end.
I use RustDesk to remote into my miniPC (same room as my main PC) and my work PC only to discover that it was tainted by Claude as well. The alternatives to it are TeamViewer and AnyDesk (amongst others) and this deeply pisses me off because I had the better experience with it and installing these apps are annoying since you have to physically go to any other PC you want to install them on. I only have 1 of those but still.
It's tiring to be in the harliner anti-AI camp. You have to come in to break the news that, because LLMs were used, you have to stop using a project. That paints a target on your back in a way. Even if you say it as nicely as you can, you basically coming off as a pouting crybaby. But also attract potential insults and ridicule ("Linus Torvalds uses LLM to maintain Linux kernel!", "Everyone use them now, get along with the future!", etc.). I was even told just the other day (that relates to an Archipelago implementation of a game).
Quote:Each time I see someone that has never commented on a game thread before like this, the more cringe it gets. It doesn't even further discussion in any meaningful way.
(For context: I had played that game before but because I never partook in the dev. of said game, I got labeled as "someone that has never commented on a game thread like this".)
This made me mad. I wanted to punch my screen. What anything would I bring to *that* discussion (usage of LLMs) when its usage is pretty much widely discussed anywhere else? FFS.
I'm tired of actually good programmers adopting LLMs and then basically using the "if you can't beat them, join them" as a reason.
Besides OSes, as far as I know, there's only 1 app I know of right now where I know the author has been pro-LLM use but I have to keep using it as it's the gold standard for what it does (but also it's coded in such an old programming language that LLMs are barely of any use... also, as you can imagine, it's janky on current systems). I also know that any big corp making software have forced their employees into using LLMs. Sometimes there are alternatives, sometimes there aren't but, sometimes these alternatives are either close-source or the open source alternatives are nowhere close as good as the paid or closed source. So, a super wide blanket "no AI ever" would have me basically not using any tech anymore. And this pisses me off as someone who only wants to use software that's been 100% developped by humans.
I'm no saint. Obviously. No one is. I did use LLMs in the past which were limited to stupid inconsequential stuff but I've told myself, for a good while now,
Please... give me the strength to stay on that hardliner path when possible.
P.S I really f'ing suck to put my thoughts into words without being a mess. I wasn't kidding in the first line.

I'm just quoting this for when she flips back to personality version 1.0 and declares centrist shit like incremental change is nazi tactics.
You can see why, "dialectics," is such a strong belief of hers. She's constantly flipping between belief and stances as it suits her to appear as the most most. You can't be confronted by your past beliefs when they exist like some nebulous electron cloud.

If even every trans adult all at once protested, it wouldn't make a blip because of how few of us we have...let alone the lack of any kind of power we have...and even more let alone the inherent danger that puts us in. If you are gonna vote for someone like Newsom, Harris, Buttigieg, etc, the least you could do is be out there in the streets fighting for us to try making up for it at all. 
Sorry, but NO.
Muslims are actually being killed and deserve the focus right now. Fuck off back to your first world cry fest. When in 2025 there were only 80 murders in Brazil, which is quoted below as being the country with most trans deaths per year, then y'all know you're not oppressed.
Quote:According to the survey, for the 18th consecutive year, Brazil is the country that kills the most trans people in the world. In 2025, 80 murders were recorded, compared to 122 in the previous year—a drop of 34%. ANTRA believes the data should be interpreted with caution: the organization says the decrease is linked to an increase in underreporting and institutional erasure of violence, rather than to structural changes in the context of exclusion.

Like, what do you think compilers are? When you run the .exe you're not running code written by the human.
