Daggerfall was like this, if I'm not mistaken (I got into TES with Morrowind, and I've never found the time to play the older games).

The map was about the size of Great Britain, and mostly empty, even if it had about fifteen thousand locations spread about it.

in-your-face activists reminding society that there's a clear and immediate threat

I know it's a clear an immediate threat, but their tactics won't make anyone who doesn't already want to do something about it change their mind, and will probably make a lot of people who would have tried to do something give up in shame and disgust (to the point that I'm 99.9% certain that any one of them who isn't too stupid to know where their own arse is is being paid by big oil to make actual climate activists look like particularly moronic terrorists).

Personally it makes me wish the lunatics in the white house or the kremlin would nuke Antarctica, hoping that these absolute imbeciles will drown with the rest of us.

I don't usually kink shame, but if you consider boobs on a male corpse presenting presumed avatar of a Forgotten Realms (ex-?)god of death “fan service” you've got some seriously weird kinks, dude.

At times I've wondered if Madhouse got Quentin Tarantino to direct some of the episodes...

They're not celebrating “whatever”, they're celebrating modding.

Stapling unnaturally large breasts on characters where they don't belong is stereotypically one of the first things modders do to games, so making fun of that seems like a perfect way to celebrate modding (as long as you've got any sense of humour, which Larian most definitely do).

No, I'd pretty much rather not see it, but it is what it is.

Tell me, what instances do you find amenable?

Any that aren't focused on spreading disinformation or trolling, i.e. practically all of them, except the three or four usual suspects.

(Well, there are also some that are focused on becoming echo chambers, which I don't find amenable either, but these ones tend to defederate themselves, so they're harmless.)

The purpose is, as .world's has always been (we all remember the infamous bot), to spread disinformation, though this policy is clearly an escalation in that regard, forcing mods to actively promote it even if they don't want to.

At this point no amount of vacuous sophisms can hide that.

Vegan fundamentalists.

Veganism is a perfectly cromulent diet choice as long as you take care to supplement any vitamins and aminoacids your diet may lack and you don't force it on growing children or obligate carnivore pets.

The problem with the mods in .world's vegan community, is that they don't treat it as a personal diet choice, but as a cult. And their view of “heretics” seems directly inspired by Warhammer 40,000.

People are free to make an account on .world of they want to.

But that doesn't mean that cancers like .world or .ml shouldn't be excised before they kill the rest of the fediverse. Disinformation should never be tolerated.

Cat.

Well, Star Citizen is playable right now (and has been for years), and they recently showed over an hour of supposedly live Squadron 42 gameplay (obviously somewhat spoilery for the start of the game), so there's some hope at least...

Of course, it remains to be seen how much more of the story is finished to the same extent, and at what point will it be consistently playable on contemporary hardware (I haven't played Star Citizen in a long while, so I'm not sure what state it's in, and I don't know if Squadron 42, being a single player game, will be as susceptible to server issues, or if it'll even need servers), but it gives a good idea of the state of the main game features and how it's intended to feel.
