People are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. So yeah pretty much.

Have you taken into account the fact that capitalism incentivizes people to act like bastards? Or the fact that most people are just trying to live their lives in peace and get by from day to day?

Humans do have a degree of inherent selfishness, but humans also transcend other animals by having the capacity for incredible selflessness and compassion. Even many structures within capitalism depend on people cooperating with others and tolerating exploitation by their superiors.

When people enjoy economic systems for personally prosperity, then no.

So you're arguing that humanity is completely incapable of crafting an economic system that leads to better outcomes for humans than capitalism? The economic system that is responsible for mass ecological devastation is the absolute best that humans could ever achieve?

There's nothing normal or natural about a revulsion to trans people. Transphobia is a cultural malaise perpetuated by bigots in positions of influence and power.

Treat trans people with respect, stand up for their rights, and help empower them to be in control of their own destinies.

Socialism is still worse than capitalism.

Could there be economic systems that are better than Capitalism?

I can offer you information that will help make the experience generally easier. For example, a really strong weapon that's easy to use is the Great Scythe. Getting the weapon is kind of a pain since it's in the Catacombs though.

Sorceries can also be a big help since they let you safely pick off enemies from a distance.

It's considered cowardly to sign up and then desert. For thousands of years, men have marched into battle, even facing certain death, and had the gonads to go through with it.

Risking your life for the sake of some rich assholes is the most cuck thing a person can do.

I mean, I can understand that a lot of it can in fact be transphobes, but at the same time, even before their transition, I always found them to be annoying and very full of themselves.

You do realize they're playing a character, right? Like, when they say "Thank god for me", they're not being serious. Stephanie utilizes hyperbolic rhetoric as a means of entertainment. They don't act like that off camera lol.

They are genuinely anti capitalist, though.

So, is Below Zero not worth it at all, or just go in with tempered expectations?

I'll say this: I was consistently disappointed by the lack of QOL improvements as compared to the first game. If you do play it, consider downloading some mods to make the experience smoother, like expanded inventory and EasyCraft.

BZ also has generally weaker exploration than the first game, in part because of the design of the story.

When you see Elon bootlickers sing his praises, just whip out this video instead of wasting energy typing out a response.

Sex is about more than just sticking a thing in a thing. It's about physical intimacy, touching and caressing your partner - stimulating them. It's also about giving pleasure as much as receiving it. As long as both parties consent and are attracted to one another, a shared experience can offer much more than anything a person can do on their own.

Hell, just cuddling with someone and enjoying the warmth of another human can be very nice.
