Makes sense. I wasn't sure because Two-Pair also procs individual Pair jokers too even though it's a "Two"-Pair

I had a Pair run and pivoted to include Two-Pair synergy too. Throughout the run, I upgraded Pair a lot (Lvl 10 or so) and Two-Pair barely. If I play a Two-Pair, does the multiplier only trigger as if I played a Two-Pair or does it also trigger the Pair multiplier? Trying to figure out it if makes sense to invest in the pants joker or if I run the risk of losing because I don't rack up enough points.

Thanks!

Edit: Ended up not going for Two-Pairs, unless I had to because of boss blinds, and got to 11/8. Pretty good :)

Is it any good? I'd imagine in the early game as one of the first few jokers it's cool but I'm not sure what to do once I have five jokers. Like, how do I know what to ditch and what to keep?

It makes sense and I'm glad I didn't cave in to curiosity on my recent runs

Ich glaube egal wie man es dreht und wendet, am Ende des Tages leidet ein Tier, auch wenn man sich einredet, es leidet weniger, kürzer, was auch immer als das standard Masttier. Ich red dir da nicht rein, aber vielleicht auch ein Punkt, den man in Erwägung ziehen könnte

I think that's natural. The point of the tweet is probably to just allude to the fact that many people don't see other animals as living beings that can suffer and feel pain just like any other living being. By comparing them to pets, they're put closer in comparison to pets, thus maybe leading to more compassion towards them. Spitballing

The point I was trying to make about crop deaths is not that corn gets harvested either way and that makes it okay but rather that eating farm animals brings a lot more crop deaths considering the huge amount of feed that needs to be harvested for them compared to just eating the crops themselves. Additionally, if we converted ca. 80% of all farmland that is currently being used just for animal agriculture - feed as well as the animals themselves (look up the exact figures on the Vegan Society sources page) - into farmland for plants to consume directly and reforestation, we would bring back a lot of habitats.

I know it seems like I'm getting off track here, but the point I'm trying to make is that while the ethics of veganism are a personal thing and offer about as much discussion potential as any big philosophical question, I think, considering the state of the world, there has got to be a little utilitarianism involved because that is what veganism is essentially: the effort to cause the least harm to animals that is possible.

That doesn't mean that frogs are worth less than pigs it just means that if by not eating pigs I save the pig and the frogs whereas by not eating corn I only save the frogs, then eating the corn is the way that I cause the least harm possible. Therefore, I think it's important that veganism evolves with our options.

There's also an argument to be made that climate change kills countless animals and increases their risk of going extinct, following which veganism, by being less environmentally taxing, is also saving or attempting to save lives in that regard.

Ultimately, it comes down to how I can reduce the harm I'm causing to the animals in this world. If I had no choice but to hunt, then I would be just like a lion and that would just be nature, but I have choice, so I'm attempting to come as close to the lion as possible in a way that I only cause the minimum of harm I absolutely need to survive. The lion kills to survive but not any more than that - he doesn't breed animals and eat them. I eat plants to survive because that's the least harmful choice of eating/living I can conceive of at this moment.

To add to what the other two commenters mentioned, it's about intent too. Crop deaths are a thing, sure, but it's the next best to actually outright killing animals and harvesting their flesh. The animals that die in crop fields die regardless given that the corn harvested - and then some - to feed other animals which you end up consuming. Thus, it's fewer animals dying overall.

 
 

Sorry if this is a repost

 

I've had a little of a debate with a commenter recently where they've argued that "donating" (selling, in their words, because you can get money for it) your blood plasma is a scam because it's for-profit and you're being exploited.

Now, I only have my German lense to look at this, but I've been under the impression that donating blood, plasma, thrombocytes, bone marrow, whatever, is a good thing because you can help an individual in need. I get that, in the case of blood plasma, the companies paying people for their donations must make some kind of profit off that, else they wouldn't be able to afford paying around 25€ per donation. But I'm not sure if I'd call that a scam. People are all-around, usually, too selfish and self-centered to do things out of the goodness of their hearts, so offering some form of compensation seems like a good idea to me.

In the past, I've had my local hospital call me asking for a blood donation, for example, because of an upcoming surgery of a hospitalised kid that shares my blood group. I got money for that too.

What are your guys' thoughts on the matter? Should it be on donation-basis only and cut out all incentives - monetary or otherwise? Is it fine to get some form of compensation for the donation?

Very curious to see what you think

Like, I get it - there are people in both communities that might be pushy in one way or another. But, like, come on. One of them is a way of life that strives towards excluding as much pain and suffering in the world of innocent beings as possible and the other is a fucking OS. Grinds my gears.

Any thoughts?

Edit: What I meant specifically is the "pushiness" and "preachiness" that's attributed to both. Not sure if this is just my bias from observing comments about the recent discourse around the whole vegan cat food debacle, but yea

 
 
 

After some debating, I decided to turn it off. We'll see how it goes and decide if it makes sense to turn it back on.

Your time to post :)

I've played the game for like 10-15h around half a year ago and stopped. Picked the game up again after the new update and am struggling with re-acquainting myself with the controls, but I'll get back there I think. More importantly, I don't know when to take opportunities to come out and make plays.

For context, I played a round yesterday where I found the boss lair after a single clue which was in the neighbouring compound. I went there by accident and started the fight. Looking for a boss weapon, which I didn't know didn't spawn next to the boss lair anymore, I attempted the Assassin without a weapon and almost got killed. After wasting a sticky, I ran in the attic and hid there for like 35 minutes, listening to my surroundings in the hopes of finding a hunter. Fast forward a little, I managed to find a hunter that's been trying to kill the Assassin themselves for like 15 minutes straight and killed them, then I had like 5 minutes left to kill the boss and extract but didn't get it, so I just extracted.

Ultimately, I just spent 35 minutes in an attic doing nothing which wasn't as engaging. Any tips on how to make myself go out of my way to make proactive plays?
