Great News for Vegetarians and Peat Activists Alike!

I've been reading through the forums and have seen some concerns about nibbling on animals or digging up plants (or peat). It looks like the developers have heard you and responded.

When you log in today, all animals, plants, and earths will now be made from "pixels"! This is wonderful news and the developers should be praised for finding a food source that can please all sides.

Pixels, the ultimate renewable resource.

  • @pomponella - I'm a recovering alcoholic, and I feel a little weird about making use of the "alcoholic" drinks.  Someone offered me some purple the other day and I found myself looking over my shoulder.  I get it.  Well, I get the pigs anyway.  Not the plants.  Ya gotta eat something.

  • Pomponella, haters gonna hate. Rise above it. Let the babies have their bottles. You know what I mean :) 
    Thee Robot Creator - I feel ya. Someone near and dear to me *just* quit drinking and it feels pretty wrong to be knocking back earthshakers & stockpiling hooch. I haven't even tried the no-no powder yet. 
    Shmoo +one bazillion! You crack my ethical, principled, happy ass up.

  • i agree with Three Robot Creator. if you're an alcoholic, you might have trouble enjoying a movie that celebrates excessive drinking. if you're a vegan, you probably wouldn't enjoy reading a book celebrating slaughterhouses.

    just film, just words, but surely you can understand why people might be put off Glitch if it offends their personal sensibilities.

    not that Glitch should kowtow to everyone's personal sensibilities but starting up a brand new thread for no purpose other than to insult people put off by a particular aspect of the game is rather rude.

  • This seems odd for me to do, so hold on to your hats!.....

    I agree with striatic.

    Ok, you can let go now.

  • Oh. my. god. Innie.

    While it was clever, I'm not sure what to make of the impetus behind this post. So, +1 Stri from me as well.

  • Agree, disagree, I really don't care.  What does bother me though, Pomponella,  is using the name of Jesus as a curse.  I don't know what transpired to prompt you to make the statement you made, but please, in future posts it might be wise to use a different curse than one that would offend an entire religious community.

  • Are you positive she used that as a curse, or was she calling on His name to help her control herself........as if in prayer?

  • Innie you are the best.  :D
    Posted 15 months ago by Lurell Subscriber! | Permalink
  • At least I got you to smile ;)
    Posted 15 months ago by Innie✿, Obviously Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh man, I was smiling.  
    What?  You couldn't see me?  Really? 

    And the point has been made.  You cannot tell the tone of a post by the words on the page.

  • Wow... I think that we will burn off all this angst once we're playing again. It is only a game. We're here to have fun with it. So we nibble pigs and stockpile hooch... It isn't like we're killing animals/butterflies with our bare hands and throwing back mouthwash...   ;)

    PS - are we against guano as well?

  • Can we all agree to let this argument die, and stop making ridiculous analogies and attacking each other about it? The only things that need to be said about the topic are:

    Yes, I agree that I shouldn't have to eat meat in Glitch.
    or,
    No, I like eating meat please don't take this out of the game.

    Everything I've seen is that vegetarians want some good food to eat that doesn't require them eating meat. I don't see a problem with the request, and I don't see anything wrong with their lifestyles. After all, just because they don't eat meat doesn't mean you have to stop too.

  • RE "starting up a brand new thread for no purpose other than to insult people put off by a particular aspect of the game is rather rude."

    my first reflex was to agree with innie/striatic, but then i remembered, it might be rude but it's also quite funny! and anyway, ultimately just about anything a person can say on the internet is offensive or rude to _somebody_. IMHO the cycle of internet love/hate is a beautiful thing and it continues on like this:
    * take a deep breath
    * accept that you offended someone
    * shrug it off
    * laugh
    * go do a couple sweet things to restore your karmic balance
    * and then go off to offend or mock someone new!

  • "and then go off to offend or mock someone new!"

    yeah .. should have stuck with your first reflex.

  • you gotta to learn to relish the theater of it!
    Posted 15 months ago by EgIantine Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hey, at least I laughed at myself for agreeing. LOL

  • I just follow this simple rule: If you don't have anything nice to say, get up from the computer and play the ukulele. All your anger will go away.

  • I'm starting to scare myself in my old age. I actually thought, for a solid 3 minutes at least, that we would be nibbling pixels off of piggies instead of meats now. Clever stuff, OP, now that I get it...

  • *runs of to buy a ukulele* - can we get these in the game too please??? XD
