>>732219498
here's the relevant difference though: When I see a spider in a video game I briefly think
>damn thats vile
and then I move on with my thoughts. Snakes not even, they're cute even if I wouldn't touch one so I feel nothing like that.
I'm also in a country with no poisonous animals and I try not to touch spiders because it makes me feel uncomfortable, but I don't turn into a snivelling mess and close my eyes when I see one, I can put them in a glass and put them outside just fine

People with arachnophobia or ophidiophobia or whatever the fuck have literal disabilities and you can't expect everything to pander to you when you have a disability. Consider just not fucking playing the game that is explicitly about giant garden critters.

>>732219154
After a certain point it really begs the question of where the line is drawn.
You’re going to need a toggle for every single entity in the game since if it exists there’s gotta be at least one person out there with a phobia of it.

>>732219264
one of them did that actually. it was some game that was heavily ocean themed and they added a thalassophobia mode in the options menu that would just close the game and tell you play something else. some kotaku writer or something threw a fit over it.

The story was pretty weird, even for me. I was around 7 - 9 years old, walked into my house after a trip into town, and honed in on a spider making a web in a copper pipe like it was a cutscene event. I'm pretty sure I was even letting it make webs down off my hands. It was even set up in a little jar terrarium before I had to let it go. I grew up in Arizona though, so when I was around 4 I turned to my mom and said "hey look, the ground is moving!" because there was a tarantula in the leaf litter the size of a small plate.

I consider myself arachnophobic. I freeze up completely any time I'm near a spider, even if it's behind glass or a window screen and can't even touch me. I don't get that same feeling from video game spiders, though, because I know they're literally not real. That's why I assumed them advertising that mode was a joke, especially because it looked so hilariously retarded in motion. I thought it was like, "Haha, if you're scared of spiders you can just turn them into retarded blobs lol jk obviously that's stupid."

People are wary of them, but not particularly "scared" unless they know they're allergic. Wasps/yellow jackets/hornets are a bigger fear because they're much more aggressive and will attack you just for being unknowingly close to their nest, while bees generally won't.

No devs should do the opposite of what consumers say. You hate big tits? Update 1.1a (main character tit size increased by 40%). How's that?

Listening to players is retarded because they are retarded. That's why the Star Citizen forum is full of fucking retards asking them to remove PVP from the game.

It's also why you get to play a fun new game and then people see they get killed by the same weapon a couple of times and then assume it's overpowered and flood the forums with crying and then the devs listen and nerf that weapon and it's basically fucking useless.

The average IQ is 100 and that's only just enough to tie your shoe laces imho.

I have learned arachnophobia and it really fucking pisses me off. I used to love them as a kid, so my older sisters decided I needed to learn they were dangerous or I'd get bitten, so they stuck a rubber spider on the door when I was taking a shit and then ran around and screamed like monkeys. Mum said she found me huddled under the toilet in terror with tears streaming down my face, I was 4. Now every couple of months I still have recurring dreams of being attacked by throngs of tarantulas and shit and I always thrash about until my wife wakes me. It pisses me off because I'm still naturally inclined towards them, so I'm fascinated by them and want to study them, but anything bigger than a huntsman makes my heart go icy for a few moments, and they're not rare here in Australia.
I've never forgiven my sisters.

The options are dumb and I'd never use them but they're options for a reason, bitching and moaning about something you literally don't have to use is even more dumb than having said options in the first place.

I want a game with all the phobia filters, but that at some point has a dungeon/quest with amazing rewards at the end that is however centered about "conquering your fears", where all the filters are forcibly deactivated and the game uses your choices of filters to know which enemies to spawn more.

You control the games you play.

I recommend having a fan running close to where you sleep: the sound drowns out most of the mosquitoisms so you can sleep well. You might wake up with a few more bites, but in my opinion the bites are nothing compared to their hell noise.

I wouldn't say so yet. Its still in early access. It has a lot of the systems from the first game implemented at the start of the 2nd game, which is nice for someone playing it as a sequel but its like playing a metroid where you have all the powerups from the start, it is probably overwhelming for new players.

Once the remaining areas get implemented itd be hard not to be the better game since its already basically the first game with extra stuff.

It's right there in the definition, you illiterate retard. It's an EXAGGERATED, INEXPLICABLE, IRRATIONAL fear, not just any ordinary fear. Being afraid of a loaded gun pointed at you is a normal fear because it could possibly kill you, whereas seeing an unloaded gun on a table and feeling the need to run and hide would be an example of a phobia toward guns. You can be similarly afraid of spiders for rational reasons without being arachnophobic.

It is a game, and this is literally the healthiest way to face your fear and get less phobic.
Some people feel entitled to avoid all forms of self-improvement/personal effort at all cost.
Even though it logically takes more effort and time to convince a dev to go against their games vision, but in their mind its about deferring blame onto others so they can avoid even that form of self-accountability.

They want to enjoy things that others enjoy for FOMO, but don't care if it's actually like what others are enjoying. Its about fitting in, and the entire psyche is ego-narcist tilted.

We're talking about a blogger masquerading as a journalist, which is why he's talking about himself instead of the game. Instead of taking your path, the reasonable route (I am scared of X, do not expose myself to X), he's decided to complain about something that absolutely will not be fixed by launch and is unreasonable to ask for. Using this method he can complain about it again when it releases, double dipping on articles and ad revenue.

The concept of deeply rooted irrational fear has existed for centuries, and using the term "phobia" to label it has been around for about 200 years on its own.

To me it's like being scared of the dark. You're not really scared of the dark itself, you're frightened of what you imagine it contains. This isn't entirely unreasonable, there may very well be something in there, but there probably isn't. If there is, it probably isn't as bad as one imagines.

The worst way to deal with phobias is to avoid them. Sure some of it is instinctual but a lot of it is also learned and can be unlearned. Unless you live in Australia where everything can kill you there's no good reason to be afraid of spiders because our venom isn't strong enough to kill a human.

Well yes, a phobia is a fear but not all fears are phobias.
Fear of touching a homeless man's cum stained hand is different from fear of contaminants so severe you wear a glove everywhere and rub clorox wipes on your skin.
Fear of an unidentified aussie spider that might be the fabled Funnel Web Spider is different from seeing a random harmless spider sitting on your porch and screaming then driving 3 blocks away and calling pest control.
It's like the "toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads" thing or whatever it was.

The responsibility for what sort of media you engage with is on you. If spiders scare the hell out of you, maybe don't play a game that has giant ones as a recurring foe.

I love underwater environments so Subnautica was a very soothing experience for me overall.

Seeing the topographic map of the in-game area was also kinda spooky. Out of the entire planet, it's the crater of that one volcano you happened to land above, and all around it is just infinite depth.
