  • Exactly.

    A couple times the game has been left in an unbalanced state where it was hard to have any fun at all unless you were the one playing the broken character.

    And people would demand that Valve “fix it”. Not realizing that’s simply not a priority.

    They’re not gonna make tiny balance adjustments every day if they’re busy working on something that’s gonna throw a grenade into the current meta anyway.

    Current players are not customers. The point is not to provide a good time right now.

    The point is to make a game, while testing as many variables as possible to figure what is and isn’t fun.

    That means there is gonna be stuff that isn’t fun. Like the recent update where they slowed down the movement.

    That’s rare.

    Being predators cats have a hunger drive that kicks in early to make them look for food before they’re too weak to hunt. In nature, cats are usually always a little hungry. Hence, if the food is palatable, most cats will eat constantly and end up eating more than they need by at least some margin.

    It’s not an active decision by the animal, but rather the hunger drive, which can vary quite a lot between individuals.

    This is complicated by the fact that cats are picky, to the point they can outright refuse to eat something they aren’t used to, or just eat less of it.

    My cat would never stop eating his favorite treat (freeze dried meats), the same cat eats a little too much kibble if I let him, and no wet food at all no matter how hungry he is. This kind of thing, you might argue is a decision.



  • They’re not gonna actively advertise something unfinished.

    People like to say Deadlock is dead because the playercount fell off. But this is the level of attention it gets with just word of mouth.

    And the reality is that it’s a pain to keep up with the rapidly shifting mid-development meta, so the majority of players were never going to enjoy the playtest long-term.

    Once the gameplay stabilizes and Deadlock fully comes out, it’s going to spawn a new genre craze.

    That’s… Not what I’m saying. What the fuck?

    The kitten doesn’t need to stay fat. That’s all.

    If a pet is getting its food from you, it’s on you to give it the right amount.

    The same applies to asking a vet for advice, if you don’t know.

    Bottom line: The health of a pet (or any animal in human care) is the responsibility of the respective human.

    My second comment initially made ABSOLUTELY NO STATEMENT beyond that fact, or what it means in practice.

    Ok.

    Doesn’t change that the health of an animal kept as a pet, is the responsibility of the respective human.

    Edit: are you downvoters assuming I’m suggesting you separate the kitten and mother? I’m not.

    Kittens and mother cats should go essentially untouched by humans for several weeks after birth.

    After that, just don’t continue to allow the kitten to overeat and it’ll be fine.
