I haven’t logged in a while, 'cause reasons, and I see they don’t even post in ‘Announcements’ anymore, last update I saw was of the twins appearing simultaneously. Any news?

[image] Eviltreerat: Gamer “logic” can be summed up as “if I like it or think it gives me status its good, if it hurts me its bad”. Truly hypocrisy at its finest. To be fair, I don’t think this is a “gamer” phenomenon. This is a human thing. Altruism is a psychological impossibility. People h…

[image] Ol_Jakal: 500 out of the 2,000,000-odd buyers (depending on how much we count gamepass players) isn’t a meaningful percentage, it’s a rounding error. moreover it’s specifcally a cherrypicked segment of the playerbase who specifically engages with the forum for the sole purpose of hating. …

First I would argue that altruism actually does exist. Otherwise we wouldn’t have accounts of people trading their own lives for that of strangers. Not exactly common but not impossible either. And yes stupidly self-centered greed is most definetly not just a gamer thing. However, at least to a poi…

I have to disagree with you on people being inherently selfish, currently that is the norm, but as people find themselves less stressed about their immediate needs Altruism increases.

Gotta be honest with you I think that’s needlessly academic. We don’t live in a system of social capital, doing something for social recognition or self esteem isn’t equal to doing something for material gain. Spending time on things for which there is no material gain in this system assumes a certa…

[image] Nayl: If, as @MeatVegetable says, those more basic needs are addressed then you’ll have more people able to spend their efforts, however selfishly, on the social needs of others. Whether or not it rises to level of altruism is moot. That’s just Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs (as I read i…

[image] brosgw: Important to use words with the proper denotative meanings at times. I can let @Eviltreerat and @MeatVegetable speak for themselves but I’m not sure they’re if that’s what they’re doing here. Might try swapping altruism with solidarity.

[image] Eviltreerat: Of course you also just described a LARGE portion of the regulars and not-so-regulars here who jump to defend the bad decisions FS makes (patch 13 veteran tree for example) or staff member they like when someone calls them out for a lapse or just plain stupidity. Including s…

Its the extent that important though. Sure everyone has some degree of selt interest, but its when that self interest overrides any and all other considerations - including ones own long-term gain - that it becomes a major issue. And pretty much everywhere you look gamers are doing just that.

So the game dead now?
